‘DaddyOFive’ couple loses custody of two children after abuse scandal goes viral On Monday, the biological mother of two of the children featured in the DaddyOFive YouTube channel and its related alleged child abuse scandal, announced that she has obtained emergency custody of those children. In a new YouTube video with her lawyer Tim Conlon, Rose Hall explained that Cody and Emma—who appeared to receive the brunt of the abuse in the DaddyOFive YouTube videos by their dad and stepmom, Mike and Heather Martin—are now living with her in North Carolina. “They’re doing good, they’re getting back to their playful selves,” Hall said throughout the video. “They were reunited with their grandparents and their cousins … Cody is starting to remember everybody, and he’s happy to be home.” © Screengrab via DaddyOFive/YouTube Conlon takes the lead throughout the nearly-10-minute-long video, sharing that he and Hall went before a judge in Frederick County, Maryland, on Friday for Hall’s emergency custody. Afterward, Conlon said Frederick County law enforcement helped the mother retrieve the kids, and that the children are now in “deprogramming” mode. While the pair’s verbal description of Emma in the video appeared to show that she, in particular, is adjusting easily to the change, Conlon said Hall was initially worried about Cody’s reaction to the retrieval. “One officer brought him out to the car. He said some things that were disturbing, that he hated me, that Mike and Heather told him I threw him away, like he was garbage and I didn’t love him no more … That’s not true at all,” Hall said, elaborating that she had brought him a keepsake he earned from a school program to calm him down. “He has a long road to recovery. It’s gonna take a lot of counseling to help him, a lot of family counseling to get us back on track as a close, tight-knit family, but I know he can do it, and we can all get through this.” At the end of the video, Hall thanked the YouTube community and several individuals for bringing attention to the Martins’ treatment of the five children, including popular YouTuber Philip DeFranco, who first showcased the videos featuring abuse in an April 17 video. Hall’s emergency custody and retrieval of the children took place on the same day that the Martins appeared in a prerecorded segment on Good Morning America and apologized for their behavior in the videos. http://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainm...s-viral/ar-BBADUWn?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp (Video provided by Inside Edition) The parents, however, maintained that some of the children’s emotional reactions were staged and that the children were in on the pranks most of the time. According to the program, the parents are currently being investigated for child abuse, and had also been monetizing the videos to the point of being able to open college funds for some of the children. Last week, the Martins issued an apology on YouTube, taking responsibility for subjecting their children to screaming and cursing, as well as physical abuse. “This has been the absolute worst week of our lives, and we realize that we have made some terrible parenting decisions,” Heather Martin said in the video. “We just want to make things right.”
Some of the videos are hard to watch btw because the kids are clearly being traumatized by the "pranks" and screaming and cursing.
couldn't find on youtube, vids had been pulled. The link in the op has the one in question fucking trash
they physically abuse them too. the kid with the glasses gets it the worst how do 750k people find that entertaining
I don't think he was saying you do. Think it was a general statement about the popularity of the videos. Shit is horrifying.
I just wanted to be obvious that I didn't. I have never even heard of this people before this thread. I found the video in question so I posted it so people could see it
i remember when people were like "we developed all of this amazing technology and people use it to make cat videos" family youtube channels are so much worse
Knew the ink prank was going to be legendary when it started with screaming "GET YOUR FUCKING ASS UP HERE" and ended with an emotionally traumatized, crying child. Classic prank. Classic.
yea, started out thinking it could be funny if done right. then I heard "GET YOUR ASS UP HERE" and immediately went into mode. quit at the same point you did.
I'd like to watch a video of someone pranking the parents by beating the absolute dog shit out of them. Anyone know these kids new address? I'll send him a pack of UNO cards since these 2 pieces of human shit couldn't even buy him a pack. "I have to return those UNO cards."
They're just pranks, bros. By getting so upset over obvious pranks, you yourselves have been pranked. These trash people are obviously on another level of pranking and will prank the shit out of their future jailors and fellow inmates.
I hired these guys in ski masks to kidnap us, and I was gonna pretend to be a hero. They were gonna shoot me and drive the van into the river. And that's when the divers would go in and pull you guys out, and I would be standing on the shore like, "hey, get pranked much?!"
BlazingRebel got pranked real bad I heard Spoiler by the news team that showed that IZWT emo-hair on television
