DaddyOFive loses custody of two of the children featured in his "prank" videos

This whole situation is just revolting. I barely made it through the videos dissecting the situation, when he destroys his kids school art project then laughs at him for crying about it.
The part where the young daughter is drawing quietly in her room listening to music, and then gets blasted in the face with water (which gets on her device and picture), culminating in the dad laughing at her face made me want to volunteer for a law enforcement extraction team to get her out.
Anyone who's a parent knows that her reaction was 100% real sadness, along with her saying she hates her dad. That was real emotion.

That part got my blood boiling as did the slap fight where she gets hit super hard by her brother and the dad is basically giggling and then blames the girl "why did you want to play". I just want to give her a hug and let her know this isn't normal.
Poor kids deserve better than this.

I really don't know how to feel about this....I'm happy that these parents actions have been brought to light but I can't even begin to imagine the kind of pain to have your children taken away from you or your siblings being taken away, bittersweet situation imo.

Just an awful c**t of a man, I have a son and daughter and could never imagine just watching them attack each other for sport or tormenting them to tears for enjoyment
Looks like they hired a crisis firm.
Good news. It was really frustrating reading about this, especially the text exchanges between the birth mum and step mum, I thought this would be a drawn out battle with the kids stuck in the middle.
Especially felt sorry for Cody, but all those kids deserve better.
She sent the kids to live with Mr Daddy for 6 months because she thought it would be good for them. Cody especially, as he'd been having some behaviour problems.
Mr Daddy and Ms Daddy tried to take custody, probably because 5 sounded better than 3 or something.
There's an article somewhere about this, I can't recall where I read it.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
The second thread in a week with high-giving and celebrating someone losing custody...not saying I don't agree with the ruling, but something about celebrating feels a little...off. I mean, the kids are now less fucked, but still kind of fucked.
Yall need to stop with this. You're blatantly ignoring context.

Are people celebrating the losing of custody, or celebrating the freeing of children from an abusive environment?
Why the fuck should anyone be sympathetic to parents who systematically abused their children for youtube views? I know it's fun to pretend to be on a moral highground but pick your battles.

I think we can actually celebrate the kids leaving a abusive home. Wtf
I mean, I'm judging based on not a lot, but everything I've seen or heard of from the biological mum doesn't fill me with hope for these kids either.
Some things are worth championing, but this really isn't the one.

As I said before, we can be thankful that the kids are away from what was obviously (after watching the videos) frequent physical, verbal and psychological abuse. However, we should also hope that the parents are rehabilitated so that reunification may be possible one day.
Regardless of how we feel about him, that man will always be the one and only father of those children. His place in their lives, hearts and minds is set in stone, and he needs to be guided on how to atone for the harm he's done to them. This is still salvageable, but denial and misdirection will get him nowhere.

Wapo article from this afternoon:
These YouTube parents pulled disturbing pranks on their kids. Now, theyve lost custody.

Good, fuck those piece of shit "patents"
People are relieved that these children were removed from a blatantly abusive situation, of course people are rooting for this outcome.
Nothing wrong with trying to protect your intellectual property before going for your first round of venture capital.

Not at all. I see nothing wrong in celebrating a child being safer from abusive parents

So now we're gonna get vids from big name Youtubers coming out of the woodwork defending DO5 and blaming WaPo for what happened to them?

Two kids got split up from the family they grew up and lived with. Of course they arent doing "ok". Probably are going through an incredibly difficult time and transition.
That is what is sad about the entire situation, is that no good outcome really happens.
Shitty situation indeed. We really don't know if their situation changed for the better.
Why were the kids in custody of this terrible father in the first place? Is their biological mother any better?

Their father forged custody documents to take them away from their mother.

God's had his chance.
Really hard to watch any of these and have any kind of thought that doesn't end with imagining what I would do given 5 minutes alone with these fucking piles of human garbage.
Yes it's different when you have a kid. No you shouldn't need to have a kid to understand how horribly wrong and fucked up and cruel this is...
and yes it's absolutely ok to wish the absolute worst upon these two white trash sacks of shit. I hope their entire life is utterly ruined and this follows them around to the grave killing every ambition in life they ever have again.
Fuck these people.

What big name youtubers are on their side? Defranco is the one who called them out. H3H3 also took a shit on them.
This has made it to the local news here in Baltimore, very happy for the two children who was removed. Baltuimore Sun reports that a custody hearing will be held on Friday, they also revealed the name of the crisis management firm that the Martin family hired, they also reported that Cody told his biological mother that the Martins told him that she "threw him away like garbage": http://www.baltimoresun.com/feature...be-michael-heather-martin-20170501-story.html

Keemstar. Never heard of him but apparently he has a following.
He seems like a real piece of shit from a quick look at his history.

Lol they literally did. The youtuber that broke the custody news also had a video calling the firm out. Don't recall the name though.
Edit: The Fallston Group. From the above article.

I still have trouble understanding how this could happen.... can't cops in america communicate between jurisdictions? I don't know, in any country thing would have been done instantly, even if they're not in the same area.... just call the right departement/jurisdiction
how is that so hard? would love to have some clarification on this

You know damn well they're gonna turn heel on this now that the MSM is involved. It's their one common enemy.
Sounds like there's a lot more going on here. These kids are in the middle of something truly vile.
