"It would've never got this out of hand if it wasn't for that Defranco guy" is the equivalent of "And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids".
Innocent until proven guilty is a facet of jurisprudence, and is not necessarily how the world can and will respond to things. Due process deals with proving a crime in a court and assigning blame and payment. I can personally decide what I believe is guilt, not constrained by these concepts. If I was called upon to be in a jury, then I am constrained by these concepts.
He's lying. I grew up with abuse. Anyone who has grown up in an abusive home can see the abuse in this family. The Cody kid is the scapegoat of the family. And good for Philip helping to keep them exposed.
I'm the scapegoat in my family and it is emotionally draining. I'm 18 now and got out of the house. I dont talk to anyone in my family and my mental health is so much better. I feel so bad for cody, watching these videos makes me cry and breaks my heart. It is something he is going to have to live with for the rest of his life and try to work through.
Shelly Lauritsen Same! I'm just learning about this and I grew up in an abusive home, too, and when you grow up around abusers you can tell when people are lying and really are abusers. I hope these "parents" no longer have a channel and that the children are safe. And blaming Philip is such bullshit and classic manipulation by abusers. The "dad" isn't a man but a thing; a piece of shit.
Right? I grew up with a physically abusive father and a alcohol mom who psychologically abused me till I was able to move out. I get a very rapid heartbeat and I can feel my blood pressure rise if anyone yells at me and I shut down. Just watching the video of these parents made me feel scared and like I was a kid all over again. Fuck these parents and I hope these parents get sent to prison so they can be abused also.
Yeah. Imagine the PTSD. Amanda the Jedi put it well. Imagine waking up every day worried someone is waiting to scare you or yell at you or hit you. All day long, every day. That would be fucking exhausting
Kyle Bolt the crazy thing is that he didn't even "expose" them! They were willingly uploading the videos publicly to almost a million subscribers, all the subscribers just apparently happen to be pieces of crap that didn't care.
Kyle Bolt I thought a bunch of other people made him (Phil) aware of the channel and the controversy that was already happening. So he didn't even start it.
Yeah I know that. What I'm saying is that they apologized in the video and blamed Philip on it. Up until then, maybe they didn't have anyone this big reporting this situation. So they're not really sorry, they're just sorry Philip made a video about it and got caught by the rest of the community.
They're KIDS! How the fuck it doesn't cross on your fucking mind that they're scared? They can't defend themselves!! And even if they know don't you think it's a little bit terrifying speak out and don't really know what your future is going to be after that?
Maybe the slap was faked and both kids acted like hitting and getting hit, looking exactly like Hollywood movies about child abuse that use the same acting methods.
@Chris Torres are u insane? That little boy did not disrespect anybody! Slamming a child into a book shelf and body slamming him into the ground it just straight abuse. I’ve never seen someone like you who thinks that’s some sort of disrespect. I live with people like that. I was in the same situation you saying that is disrespect is appalling. He’s an innocent little kid who is getting screamed at for a petty prank that his parents did. Unacceptable. Jake did some wrong things I get that your a fan of him. But saying it’s disrespect is very very appalling. You are quite biased.
So she says "Normal kids have bad behaviors but Cody has something else." um, yeah you're right he has parents who are making his life a nightmare. Poor kid.
He’s most likely on the spectrum, I showed my mom, who works in special needs classrooms and speech pathology, clips of Cody and she was pretty sure he had a form of autism or something similar.
Lion Poiint "My parents feed me, so they get to mentally torture me and deny me going to Disneyland with my other 4 siblings because I accidentally plugged the toilet." Yeah, think whatever you want.
Lion Poiint you're a disgusting piece of shit for even trying to defend those garbage cans, but then again you're probably just a little ten year old fanboy. dont worry, you'll regret this all in a few years
"Happy times do not negate abusive or violent ones" oh my god, thank you...my mother accuses me of saying we never had any good times, or that they're meaningless to me, because I finally confronted her about her abuse towards me. She directs blame everywhere but herself. I got one seemingly heartfelt apology from her, which no longer holds any meaning because of all the unsolicited excuses and misdirects she's thrown at me, since. In the end, I don't *care* if we get along sometimes, or that we've ever had fun together. It's not worth the abuse.
Oh my god. That's exactly the same here. Well, kind of. I get yelled at for absolutely everything, including things I've never had the ability or want to do.
my mom is emotionally abusive and she does the same she says i don't care about her amongst many other things and now that i'm away from her she's mad cause she has no control
My sisters the problem in the family but the one thing that I've always lived by is "just because you're blood, doesn't mean you are family." No matter if that shit was from a CW show (lmao) but it is true.
I have had the same experience with my mom. It took years for her to understand my words, but I kept pushing. I was not going to carry around that hurt any longer. Thank you for sharing
@@YTmakesDumbUpdates What are you talking about...? When the little kids scream until their faces are red, that's scripted? When Cody gets thrown to the ground and hit on, that's scripted? When Emma gets locked in a chokehold and hit with a belt by her brothers while the dad watches, that's scripted? I suppose when Cody and Emma finally got taken away from their monster of a dad, that was scripted too, huh? Open your eyes
Same. Especially when he was asked about pushing Cody into a book shelf and he was like “Well what...ya see, what- he was- I - he RAN towards me is what happened- and- I-“
As a domestic abuse victim, my father would do everything that these parents are doing. Making excuses that don’t make sense, and saying that you treat a child in the way you do because they are Crazy, that’s called gaslighting. And not to mention when he asked the kids if they were happy they were terrified and answered so quickly to avoid the repercussions of not responding with what their father wanted. And the way he demeaned the women in that household, and the excuses. This case shows all the classic signs of abuse and those parent are outrageously unfit for the needs of those children.
"I just want to be left alone so I can calm down." In that sentence, Cody is showing that he understands that he needs to calm down. He knows he is emotionally upset and the reaction he's having is not necessarily the right response. But it also shows that while Cody knows coping mechanisms and self control, his parental figures are not willing to allow him those coping mechanisms. They don't care about his greater emotional control, they only care about getting a reaction out of him. Very mentally damaging.
(Extremely looooong) If I try to say something like that my mom gets all pissed and I get in trouble for being “disrespectful”. If I get upset about my school and I leave the room to chill she gets pissy and says “why did you leave the room? You get your ass back over here” And goes on a rant and shit even though she said to leave the room if I get so frustrated that I cry 🙄 So idk wth to do honestly she is fucking irritating. Like 2 hours before I’m making this me and my mom got into a argument about cleaning the Guinea pig cage. TLDR: I cleaned the cage inside instead of outside because it’s windy and it turned up to be a lot faster. And I asked my mom why we don’t do it inside and she said because she didn’t want us to I asked why then she went off at me about how “she is the mom” and “I have to do what she says no matter what I think” bull shit. Longer version: Tbh my mom is OCD about things that aren’t that bid a deal. I have two male guinea pigs and I use wood chips for bedding and had to clean it today. I cleaned it out and chilled with my pigs while the cage bottom dried and bla bla blaaaaa. We finished and my mom said something about the cage looking good and I sad something like “It was a lot easier to do it inside, can we do it inside from now on?” Then She said in a rude tone “nO” I asked why. Then she said “because I said so I’m the mom and you do what I say!” I said I just want to know She then started rating a bout me being “disrespectful” I want to say something about it but I know she will just be a bitch about it or just go off about being the mom and Me being a “child that doesn’t understand” so I’m just going to wait till I’m 18 and get my own place and train a true guard dog or train it to get me a weapon like a spear or some shit to help protect me. I truly can’t wait to have my own place and be on my own.
Michaela Lenae All of the children are showing different ways of coping with abuse, and I feel like the girl is like the silent observer. She's hardly ever crying or laughing at anything. Like she watches all this shit and thinks "if I'm really quiet and don't speak up, they'll leave me alone." In one video, the dad asks for a hammer (to break an Xbox) and she just silently gets it for him. Even when she's fucking slapped across the face, she's clearly tring to stifle her tears, probably because she's seen what happens to Cody when he openly cries.
@@YTmakesDumbUpdates I sincerely hope you make something of yourself, just so these comments you're posting everywhere can be brought to light, and you lose everything you love.
DO5 blaming you is him saying, yet again, that he's not sorry for the abuse, he's sorry he got caught doing that. Which only proves that you did everything right and I applaud you, Phil.
honestly if you replace 'the kids' with 'Heather and I' their "apology video" starts to make sense. "The kids love the RUclips channel." = "Heather and I love the RUclips channel." "The kids, we plan this out its all faked." = "Heather and I, we plan this out its all faked." "The kids are terrified, they can't go outside!" = "Heather and I are terrified, we can't go outside!" These parents are absurd.
@@FuckyoupeakBitch Wow, you think that's """"putting words in their mouth"""""??? Do you speak english? If English is your second language, and you're learning, then I apologize, but if English is your native language, yikes, are you bad at comprehension. Putting words in someones mouth means you claim they said something they didn't. Now go ahead and reread (if you can read, that is) that original post, and point out where the OP claimed they said that. Go ahead, I'll not wait.
Notice he didn't actually get upset until he said he was scared of losing the youtube channel.. only cares about things that directly affect himself. His treatment of his kids is proof enough of that.
I’m not a parent, barely legal to drink, only child and only a cousin acting as a brother. But that just made me feel the urge to take the girl and Cody and give them the proper care they need.
When the boy is saying he needs to be alone to calm down is one of the saddest things to me. He knows he needs to calm down and he obviously doesn’t like being angry, but they don’t leave him alone?! I hate this guy. And I hope the kids get taken away and put with happier and loving families
biological mother not the same mother who abused them and the biological mother said the cody is dealing with alot of mental issues because of the abuse and the kids arnt allowed to contact the abusers without supervision
Lil Dinosaur yeah just type ‘daddyofive’ into the yt search bar and several videos of the real mother speaking out will show up. It was discussed on Good Morning America and several other major media channels
Phoenix Fire watch this it 1hr 30 mins of all crap they do Pretty much the print is to do something blame it on Cody and then called defense of self and then the deck is pissed off at him and then once he’s crying and pulling his eyes after getting beat up by his brother they tell me separate so why the fuck are you getting pissed off at him because you did the prank you know he didn’t do it ruclips.net/video/tdhSRcvI6Tc/видео.html
Professional child actors can fake this in movies about abusive parents. They may even learn the theater technique of hitting thin air while the other actor jumps backwards like being hit and someone makes the sound effect of an impact. But the way DO5 didn't say those things suggests they didn't use such tricks and hit each other for real, even if scripted. That's not a safe working environment for child actors.
As a person who came from an abusive background, watching those videos make me ill. There are so many signs...too many signs of very visible and very real abuse. Hell, the biggest sign for me was when the children all said everything was okay, Cody was the only one who averted his eyes and became withdrawn. He spoke quietly, and he spoke on command....and that makes my heart ache. These parents do not deserve to have these children. More specifically, they don't deserve to even know Cody. That poor boy is in very obvious distress, and he is the butt of the "joke" and that will and probably already has DESTROYED HIS SELF ESTEEM. This makes me angry. So, so angry. And I applaud you Phil for saying something. They NEED this negative attention, and if the parents continue to deny it, then they are digging their own grave. Let them fall. Get those kids some help.
Ashley Adcock I completely know what you're saying, first video I saw of this news I noticed the awkwardness in cody's eyes when asked if they'd been abused, a sign so clear and painfull to watch. As a person who also comes from an abusive background I support this message.
They'll get what's coming to them, one way or another. There's plenty of evidence there for a court, and the internet is filled with people who have a massive hatred for this (Hence the death threats and road rage)
I saw that too, and it broke my heart. A child who is abused on a regular basis will not admit to it when surrounded by his abusers. He doesn't want to get in trouble for "making them look bad".
Narcissistic parents often step on their kids to put themselves in a higher place and thrive on making them miserable. It's not unusual to have one kid take the brunt of the abuse. Cody's siblings, being the children that they are, see this behaviour and believe that it's alright (or even encouraged) to be awful shits to him. Even if CPS were to take action now, a lot of damage has been done and a lot of work is going to have to go towards readjusting Cody. It's likely that he's going to have some deep-seated trust issues stemming from being unable to feel comfort around the people that anyone is supposed to be able to trust - his family.
*pushes kids, screams at them, has them hit each other, leaves one behind to go on a family vacation* I can't believe that Defranco guy is doing this to my family, it's all his fault
Jackie house pushed cody once, screams when they do bad things, has them hit each other in a GAME where the punishment is to get slapped, and leaves the one who causes the most trouble behind on a trip where he was warned months beforehand that if he didnt behave he would be left behind. Dont speak about their channel if youre not a frequent viewer.
That apology was completely bogus, those videos were not fake, it a canned apology based on other apologies made for fake videos. These parent have made money exploiting those children. Phil, you did a good thing exposing these people for their actions.
No, its people mistaking disliking the video for the topic, over what it exposes. People dislike what in the video, so they hit a thumbs down. Its a confusion of concept
"I just want to be left alone so i can calm down" jesus christ that line is heartbreaking... such a fucking reasonable kid being treated like that... Fuck people.
imago Fucking THIS. The kid is being more of an adult than the goddamn parents but because they want views, those fuckers just keep on filming. What pieces of shit.
In a way, the DaddyOFive youtube channel was a blessing. Without it, no one would know what was going on and Cody and Emma would most likely be abused to this day.
@@wakandaforever5201 I remember watching their content at 14 i think I was thinking why was the dad so mean to cody for no reason? I remember being disgusted byy how vile and abusive the dad is
@@fadalerabrasool3563 I remember watching their videos when I was younger, and I found something very fishy about their channel because they’re making their kids cry and uploading it to the Internet
This dad is vile. I’m amazed. The gaslighting is incredible. Who falls for what he is saying? I’ve never seen such a blatantly fake display of emotion. Like gone girl
I 100% agree. Listening to the father try to defend himself about pushing Cody into a bookshelf was so hard to listen to. It was like listening to a 3yo lie to to you about stealing a cookie from the pantry.
I fall for them😅 When I hear about these type of things the logical side of me completely disappears. I wouldnt be good as a judge for a court no doubt😅😅
What worries me most is that they have fans for this shit.. People who find the pain cody is going through 'funny' or think 'Hey these guys deserve fan mail'
An lot them been abusive an say Cody don’t know abuse it like there get there angry out on this boy also a lot like no one help me. Like I’m sorry know one help u but doesn’t mean we should look other way when we see it
MonkeyBoy Oh. My. God. youre seriously blaming everything that happened to cody, on cody? his actions were what? crying when he was getting mentally and sometimes physically abused? was he supposed to laugh along with his family while they non stop bully and abuse him? what is wrong with you? now if cody had hit the parents or actually mis behaved, ok but that still doesnt mean he deserves that abuse. youre just as worse as DaddyOfive
The older brother is a sociopath. No remorse. He’s **laughing**. He’s not a psychopath because they’re born that way. The older brother was taught that abuse.
This makes me so sad. He’s probably desperate for validation from his parents and learned how to get that validation. Now he’s learned that abusing his siblings is a form of safety for him, and has been leaning into it for too long :( didn’t have a chance
The last thing I heard about him was him and his girlfriend (I don't know how he got one especially after all the clips of him bullying his siblings) were expecting a baby
Toshiko...thats easy, he's not sorry what he's done to the kids, he's only sorry that him and his dog wife been exposed for the abusers that they are. Lets hope the same happens to them and see if they like it!!!
Hi Im not important. "Awww cmon bruh, why can't I just beat the shit out of my kids? They love it!! I do it for them!!" Fake or not. These people are fucking sick.
"it's for the children! you're hurting my children!" *pushes kid into book shelf and allows kids to hit/slap/body slam another child* bro... wtf.. that's not even including all of the mental abuse
AND THE WORST PART IS THE FACT CODYS FIRST RESPONSE WAS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING FELL OFF THE SHELF. IT HURTS TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN SOMETHING DID FALL
The two youngest are in foster homes. The father and the stepmother were both convicted to 5 years on probation. They are not allowed to have any contact with the two youngest.
He’ll be fine Him and his sister are back in the custody of their mother and have a restraining order against him. These two assholes had criminal charges because of it
"We don't hit girls but your sister doesn't count" How about we all just don't hit each other, girl, boy, sister, brother, parent, just don't hit people
Justanothermakeupchannel DO5 SAID JUST A LITTLE TAP HES JUST SHOWING BULLSHIT FUCK YOU PHILLIP BECAUSE OF YOU YOU COULD GET THERE OWN FAMILY KILLED YOU DUMBASS I
He's drunk. Takes one to know one. Reporting on this, as someone who was abused as a child, I get it. Me and room mate both yelled at the screen seeing what they did on the first video. But the follow up response with his wife. The eyes, the skin color, the pronunciations. If that did not give it away then listen to the apology. It's AA 101. He's not sorry, he's sorry he got caught.
THANK YOU. This is the first thing I think whenever either of the parents speak. They definitely both have that kind of stammered, stunted speech pattern of substance abuse. He's got the slow facial motions and odd features, to be sure.
the thing that disturbs me the most is that these are the things they allowed to be seen by others... can you imagine what happens to these children when the video isn't recording?? this is disgusting....
Allie Wonders Exactly this! I said this on another video and all people can say is "it's fake, they said it's fake." So ridiculous! If that child is acting, he is better than most of the actors in Hollywood. It's crazy how people can be so blind!
I’ve just learned about this “story”. I’m literally in tears. My mama heart breaks for all of these kids. When the brother slapped this sister?? I can’t. If I told one of my kids to slap their sibling..... they would look at me like I’m crazy..... I’m so heartbroken. My chest hurts.
as an older brother and a caretaker i will say those are NOT fake cries i know when kids play sometime they hit each other but thats why im there or the parents to teach them not to. These "trash" parents are the worst kind, that make kids go through emotional stuff that should not happen, because of these guys the kids can grow to become a bullies or even has anger management issues God i wish i can beat them up when i see them.
I dont get people like them "blame it on the kid" kind of people. BUT THE POINT OF BEING A PARENT IS TEACHING THEM ughhh this got me so mad. And when he said its just exaggerating O MY LORD i went nuts. Kids dont hold back on their emotions they let it all out, its not exaggeration its called being IN PAIN U SHITS.
The only fake video of theirs is that damn "apology" video. The way he said about "something else" being wrong with Cody rubbed me up the wrong way... These people make my skin crawl.
"Is there anything wrong, kids? Are you hurt? Are you feeling hurt?" Kids, like puppets: "No." Not at the moment, right daddy? They've been calmed down, they've been assured that everything's fine, just like a good parent would do, so that you can make that video to deceive the viewers. This, my friends, is the method of manipulating someone's perception to cause them to doubt their reality. This is a type of social manipulation that is called "gaslighting", and daddy's doing it to both his kids and to the viewer, and then shifting the blame over all the flack they've received onto Philip DeFranco.
also in an other video about DO5, theres a version of that clip where the brother next to Cody says no then pauses then says wait and says no again. Kinda made me feel like it was scripted tbh
RorytheRomulan my parents do it all the time...manipulating me to say yes to whatever bullshit they speak of, to not fight back to abuse, and to always be a perfect daughter and obey them and get ggood grades orelse you'll be beaten by fist, words, and whatever stuff they could reach and throw and hit you with....that's why children say yes even though they practically want to scream no
Joeriz Osorio stay strong and know God is there for you. I'm sorry you have to go through that struggle. Stay positive and learn from it so you don't continue the cycle down the road
Nikki Derringer are they from NC? I thought they were from MD and maybe live in WV now. If they’re still on probation in MD tho I don’t think they’d be able to move out of state unless you get special permission. IDK tho
+Jake Sounds like she was talking about a sick and old animal that they kept around 'to be nice.' Awful. Cody and Emma have the potential to become great people. I hope they know and learn that.
"He ran at me"....if you watch it in slow motion, he didn't "just push him off" he is literally holding on to the collar of the kid's shirt and basically threw him forward towards the shelf.
there’s no reason for an adult man to throw a child like that, even if he was running at you. you are the adult, you are the one responsible, there is no good reason i’m so fucking mad rn lmao
@@earthwindandjade yeah, imagine wanting to use that as a excuse. "Yeah, im like 3 times bigger than this 8 year old, and he's running at me, totally just going to push him out of the way, because I was scared, and not, because I have some anger issues" Stupid horrible people🙄
This guy is a classic abuser who starts getting choked-up and teary-eyed when people call him out for his abusive actions. This is the recourse of EVERY ABUSER, where they "apologize" while refusing to admit that they did anything wrong. If you are smart, you will not fall for this man's crocodile tears. You will not give him the benefit of the doubt after witnessing the hell he puts his children through.
He's just sorry that people called him out for his abusing the kids. he's just sorry that he can't get money off of abusing kids and had his revenue cut off and kids taken away, who were used as his fucking entertainment
YES! My father was a psychologically manipulative, emotionally abusive person who used this very same tactic against me. He'd antagonize me to the point where I snapped and went off on him, then he'd act all hurt and sit on the couch with a forlorn look on his face, asking me why I was being so "hateful". My grandfather was also horribly cruel to my family after my grandmother died, yet when he was confronted over it, the crocodile tears started rolling. I frickin' hate that crap so bad.
Not really, that dude is manipulative he could have made it look like there was nothing wrong when CPS came over and bribed the kids to act like everything was fine. The video also stated the CPS was unaware of the youtube videos. On top of that there are allegations he lied to have custody over two of the kids. Clearly this guy is a manipulative sob.
no no no. the PARENTS are disgusting. child services are a tiny tiny department who are understaffed. they said they dont know about the youtube videos until now. if no-one reports stuff to them, no-one will do anything.
This is fucking crazy. I'm so glad you spoke up about this. I couldn't imagine being around that kind of environment even as an adult let alone a kid who doesn't have the capacity to understand the weight of this abuse.
The first 7 years of my life I grew up in a house like this with my father. I still haven’t recovered. I never will fully. I suffer from a chronic anxiety and panic disorder and ptsd
nicalycab Cody is acting in said videos, as they said in the videos he's gone from drawing money on a street corner for his real mother to wanting to be an actor. He's not "crazy" he just doesn't like crowds, the mum calls his bad behaviour crazy because that's the way the videos work. Even the guy from Kidbehindthecamera admits he's seen the kids cry on command, again it's fake the only reason it became so real was because Phil miss interpretated something that he did not understand...
I can't believe the parents are acting like the victims. They're basically saying, "You called us out on our child abuse, and therefore our problems are all your fault." They're literally exploiting their own children by verbally, mentally, and physically abusing them ONLINE. What the hell kind of mindset do you have to have in order to think this way? This is sociopathic.
Yup, it's classic narcissism at play where they need to place the blame on others to justify their own wrongdoings. They are projecting, narcs do not take responsibility for relationship difficulties and exhibit no feelings of remorse. Instead they believe themselves to be the victims in the relationship
In one video, the girl is being bullied by her brothers and the dad starts screaming in her face not to play a victim. These people are stupid abusive hypocrites.
Typical abuser mentality there. "We aren't the problem here, YOU'RE the problem! Look what you did to US! Look what you've FORCED us to do!" I can't tell you how many times my Ex tried that trick with me before I got the guts to leave. Honestly, after seeing this, I'm gonna go hug my family and my best friend. Without them stepping in and forcing me to look at it, I probably wouldn't be here.
Melanie Walters I get your point but no way would that happen. Phil understands that as long as this is an issue he will be discussing he needs to avoid monetizing any part of this story. He shouldn't attempt to profit from this kind of story because it undermines his message. I do understand your joke/point but do not agree at all.
the abusers are trying to manipulate the audience just like they do to their kids. Trying to put the blame on us, and make us feel guilty so they can act innocent, and better about themselves. Not happening. This is classic for child abusers/Manipulators to psychologically attempt to control people by guilt and mood swinging. He brings up some irrelevant things in the "apology video" then snaps to saying something totally happy, it doesn't really make sense.
I have never seen any of that channel (and I'm somewhat glad about that) but the most distressing part of that for me was the kid saying he wanted everyone to go away so that he could calm down. I know that might sound weird in a video that also contained the slapping and everything else, but what's so upsetting about that calming down thing is that my wife is a school counselor, and a kid who asks everyone to go away so that they can calm down is SO doing the right thing. That is just about the model response that we'd want kids of that age to have when they're feeling upset. The fact that they weren't respecting those wishes, and why would they because it wouldn't get them more views, just ripped me to shreds.

"It would've never got this out of hand if it wasn't for that Defranco guy" is the equivalent of "And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids".
Scooby doo villains logic
Sooooo true...
Innocent until proven guilty is a facet of jurisprudence, and is not necessarily how the world can and will respond to things. Due process deals with proving a crime in a court and assigning blame and payment. I can personally decide what I believe is guilt, not constrained by these concepts. If I was called upon to be in a jury, then I am constrained by these concepts.
+DoG Ster Y? Did our eyes lie
We saw his side of the story slapped off Emma's face.
DoG Ster if this were a case presented in court it would be air tight... videos of abuse is far more than even circumstantial evidence
"Good times do not negate abuse." Advice that should be told to everyone in an abusive relationship

The mother screaming is disgusting. She sounds like a beast

She sounds like she's smoking a lot of dAMN cigarettes
lady bug the thing is that isn’t the mother
It’s their step mum
She does!!
She is a beast, as in she’s fat
He's lying. I grew up with abuse. Anyone who has grown up in an abusive home can see the abuse in this family. The Cody kid is the scapegoat of the family.
And good for Philip helping to keep them exposed.
I'm the scapegoat in my family and it is emotionally draining. I'm 18 now and got out of the house. I dont talk to anyone in my family and my mental health is so much better. I feel so bad for cody, watching these videos makes me cry and breaks my heart. It is something he is going to have to live with for the rest of his life and try to work through.
Exactly. I saw that shit too. Once neighbors call the cops, parents tell ya to lie, tell everyone else to lie. All close ranks to protect the abusers.
Shelly Lauritsen Same! I'm just learning about this and I grew up in an abusive home, too, and when you grow up around abusers you can tell when people are lying and really are abusers.
I hope these "parents" no longer have a channel and that the children are safe.
And blaming Philip is such bullshit and classic manipulation by abusers.
The "dad" isn't a man but a thing; a piece of shit.
Right? I grew up with a physically abusive father and a alcohol mom who psychologically abused me till I was able to move out. I get a very rapid heartbeat and I can feel my blood pressure rise if anyone yells at me and I shut down. Just watching the video of these parents made me feel scared and like I was a kid all over again. Fuck these parents and I hope these parents get sent to prison so they can be abused also.
Yeah. Imagine the PTSD. Amanda the Jedi put it well. Imagine waking up every day worried someone is waiting to scare you or yell at you or hit you. All day long, every day. That would be fucking exhausting
Well Phil, if you're responsible for exposing a child abuser, then it's a damn good thing to be responsible for.
Kyle Bolt the crazy thing is that he didn't even "expose" them! They were willingly uploading the videos publicly to almost a million subscribers, all the subscribers just apparently happen to be pieces of crap that didn't care.
+Kyle Bolt I 100% agree. Phil has nothing to regret, he did the right thing. Proof is the back pedalling parents.
Kyle Bolt AMEN!!!
Kyle Bolt I thought a bunch of other people made him (Phil) aware of the channel and the controversy that was already happening. So he didn't even start it.
For real. Thank you for covering this.

Rui Santos TmarTn and Do5 collab incoming?
Yeah I know that. What I'm saying is that they apologized in the video and blamed Philip on it. Up until then, maybe they didn't have anyone this big reporting this situation. So they're not really sorry, they're just sorry Philip made a video about it and got caught by the rest of the community.

The girl got slapped so hard. I'm not sure what the hell to think right now, and then there's cody he got body slammed by his brother.
Maybe the slap was faked and both kids acted like hitting and getting hit, looking exactly like Hollywood movies about child abuse that use the same acting methods.
WayneFTW definitely not. Jake is a socio/psychopath.
@Chris Torres lmao your defending an abuser
@Chris Torres are u insane? That little boy did not disrespect anybody! Slamming a child into a book shelf and body slamming him into the ground it just straight abuse. I’ve never seen someone like you who thinks that’s some sort of disrespect. I live with people like that. I was in the same situation you saying that is disrespect is appalling. He’s an innocent little kid who is getting screamed at for a petty prank that his parents did. Unacceptable. Jake did some wrong things I get that your a fan of him. But saying it’s disrespect is very very appalling. You are quite biased.
Don’t blame the brothers. They were raised by these people, it’s not surprising.

"Happy times do not negate abusive or violent ones" oh my god, thank you...my mother accuses me of saying we never had any good times, or that they're meaningless to me, because I finally confronted her about her abuse towards me. She directs blame everywhere but herself. I got one seemingly heartfelt apology from her, which no longer holds any meaning because of all the unsolicited excuses and misdirects she's thrown at me, since.
In the end, I don't *care* if we get along sometimes, or that we've ever had fun together. It's not worth the abuse.
Oh my god. That's exactly the same here. Well, kind of. I get yelled at for absolutely everything, including things I've never had the ability or want to do.
my mom is emotionally abusive and she does the same she says i don't care about her amongst many other things and now that i'm away from her she's mad cause she has no control
My sisters the problem in the family but the one thing that I've always lived by is "just because you're blood, doesn't mean you are family." No matter if that shit was from a CW show (lmao) but it is true.

@@YTmakesDumbUpdates What are you talking about...? When the little kids scream until their faces are red, that's scripted? When Cody gets thrown to the ground and hit on, that's scripted? When Emma gets locked in a chokehold and hit with a belt by her brothers while the dad watches, that's scripted? I suppose when Cody and Emma finally got taken away from their monster of a dad, that was scripted too, huh? Open your eyes
the dad getting interviewed sounds like me at five years old lying to my parents about fighting with a sibling
Same. Especially when he was asked about pushing Cody into a book shelf and he was like “Well what...ya see, what- he was- I - he RAN towards me is what happened- and- I-“
As a domestic abuse victim, my father would do everything that these parents are doing. Making excuses that don’t make sense, and saying that you treat a child in the way you do because they are Crazy, that’s called gaslighting. And not to mention when he asked the kids if they were happy they were terrified and answered so quickly to avoid the repercussions of not responding with what their father wanted. And the way he demeaned the women in that household, and the excuses. This case shows all the classic signs of abuse and those parent are outrageously unfit for the needs of those children.
Abigail Zitzelberger my dad is kinda the same but not domestic abuse, I’m sorry for you though.
You have a dad
@@ThatPortaPottyGuy that doesn’t matter, having no parent is 100% better than having an abusive one.
"I just want to be left alone so I can calm down." In that sentence, Cody is showing that he understands that he needs to calm down. He knows he is emotionally upset and the reaction he's having is not necessarily the right response. But it also shows that while Cody knows coping mechanisms and self control, his parental figures are not willing to allow him those coping mechanisms. They don't care about his greater emotional control, they only care about getting a reaction out of him. Very mentally damaging.
Simply Vince so true
The Versace Life I was gonna write this comment myself. I'm finally glad someone beat me to an idea.
After this video I understand why they couldn't be let outside

I feel horrible for that kid
(Extremely looooong)
If I try to say something like that my mom gets all pissed and I get in trouble for being “disrespectful”. If I get upset about my school and I leave the room to chill she gets pissy and says “why did you leave the room? You get your ass back over here” And goes on a rant and shit even though she said to leave the room if I get so frustrated that I cry 🙄
So idk wth to do honestly she is fucking irritating.
Like 2 hours before I’m making this me and my mom got into a argument about cleaning the Guinea pig cage.
TLDR: I cleaned the cage inside instead of outside because it’s windy and it turned up to be a lot faster. And I asked my mom why we don’t do it inside and she said because she didn’t want us to I asked why then she went off at me about how “she is the mom” and “I have to do what she says no matter what I think” bull shit.
Longer version:
Tbh my mom is OCD about things that aren’t that bid a deal.
I have two male guinea pigs and I use wood chips for bedding and had to clean it today.
I cleaned it out and chilled with my pigs while the cage bottom dried and bla bla blaaaaa.
We finished and my mom said something about the cage looking good and I sad something like “It was a lot easier to do it inside, can we do it inside from now on?”
Then She said in a rude tone “nO”
I asked why.
Then she said “because I said so I’m the mom and you do what I say!”
I said I just want to know
She then started rating a bout me being “disrespectful”
I want to say something about it but I know she will just be a bitch about it or just go off about being the mom and Me being a “child that doesn’t understand” so I’m just going to wait till I’m 18 and get my own place and train a true guard dog or train it to get me a weapon like a spear or some shit to help protect me.
I truly can’t wait to have my own place and be on my own.
Cody looks away when he asks if they abuse him
I noticed that too!
I noticed his eyes look sad, teary almost.
You could see it in the girl a bit too tbh
Michaela Lenae yeah I saw that too I believe she witnesses most of the abuse towards him
Michaela Lenae All of the children are showing different ways of coping with abuse, and I feel like the girl is like the silent observer. She's hardly ever crying or laughing at anything. Like she watches all this shit and thinks "if I'm really quiet and don't speak up, they'll leave me alone." In one video, the dad asks for a hammer (to break an Xbox) and she just silently gets it for him.
Even when she's fucking slapped across the face, she's clearly tring to stifle her tears, probably because she's seen what happens to Cody when he openly cries.
,,I wish he would behave himself and act like a normal child´´
Oh Im sorry but I wish you would behave like and act like a normal Mother

I feel. Ugh I had the same reaction.
I’m not a parent, barely legal to drink, only child and only a cousin acting as a brother. But that just made me feel the urge to take the girl and Cody and give them the proper care they need.
When the boy is saying he needs to be alone to calm down is one of the saddest things to me. He knows he needs to calm down and he obviously doesn’t like being angry, but they don’t leave him alone?! I hate this guy. And I hope the kids get taken away and put with happier and loving families
They've been reunited with their mother.
Yeah that moment had me close to tears... Poor fucking kid! He just needs a stable and loving environment!
Seriously. That kid is mature for his age especially with those parents. Sad part is, that kid probably has anger problems as a result of the parents.
I cried thru this whole video .... disgusting pieces of shit
biological mother not the same mother who abused them and the biological mother said the cody is dealing with alot of mental issues because of the abuse and the kids arnt allowed to contact the abusers without supervision
"Normal kids have bad behaviour, Cody has...somefin' else"
"Lord knows he's crazy"
*Well I wonder how that that happened...?*

ruclips.net/video/tdhSRcvI6Tc/видео.html
Professional child actors can fake this in movies about abusive parents. They may even learn the theater technique of hitting thin air while the other actor jumps backwards like being hit and someone makes the sound effect of an impact. But the way DO5 didn't say those things suggests they didn't use such tricks and hit each other for real, even if scripted. That's not a safe working environment for child actors.
@@johndododoe1411 Shut The Fuck Up with that stinky mouth of yours you dont know the real situation
As a person who came from an abusive background, watching those videos make me ill.
There are so many signs...too many signs of very visible and very real abuse. Hell, the biggest sign for me was when the children all said everything was okay, Cody was the only one who averted his eyes and became withdrawn. He spoke quietly, and he spoke on command....and that makes my heart ache.
These parents do not deserve to have these children. More specifically, they don't deserve to even know Cody. That poor boy is in very obvious distress, and he is the butt of the "joke" and that will and probably already has DESTROYED HIS SELF ESTEEM.
This makes me angry. So, so angry. And I applaud you Phil for saying something. They NEED this negative attention, and if the parents continue to deny it, then they are digging their own grave.
Let them fall. Get those kids some help.
Ashley Adcock I completely know what you're saying, first video I saw of this news I noticed the awkwardness in cody's eyes when asked if they'd been abused, a sign so clear and painfull to watch. As a person who also comes from an abusive background I support this message.
Ashley Adcock
They'll get what's coming to them, one way or another. There's plenty of evidence there for a court, and the internet is filled with people who have a massive hatred for this (Hence the death threats and road rage)
I saw that too, and it broke my heart. A child who is abused on a regular basis will not admit to it when surrounded by his abusers. He doesn't want to get in trouble for "making them look bad".
Narcissistic parents often step on their kids to put themselves in a higher place and thrive on making them miserable. It's not unusual to have one kid take the brunt of the abuse. Cody's siblings, being the children that they are, see this behaviour and believe that it's alright (or even encouraged) to be awful shits to him. Even if CPS were to take action now, a lot of damage has been done and a lot of work is going to have to go towards readjusting Cody.
It's likely that he's going to have some deep-seated trust issues stemming from being unable to feel comfort around the people that anyone is supposed to be able to trust - his family.

MonkeyBoy Oh. My.

The older brother is a sociopath. No remorse. He’s **laughing**. He’s not a psychopath because they’re born that way. The older brother was taught that abuse.
This makes me so sad. He’s probably desperate for validation from his parents and learned how to get that validation. Now he’s learned that abusing his siblings is a form of safety for him, and has been leaning into it for too long :( didn’t have a chance
He’s gonna wind up in custody some day. Or in an alley after messing with the wrong person…..

He's drunk. Takes one to know one. Reporting on this, as someone who was abused as a child, I get it. Me and room mate both yelled at the screen seeing what they did on the first video.
But the follow up response with his wife. The eyes, the skin color, the pronunciations. If that did not give it away then listen to the apology. It's AA 101. He's not sorry, he's sorry he got caught.
THANK YOU. This is the first thing I think whenever either of the parents speak. They definitely both have that kind of stammered, stunted speech pattern of substance abuse. He's got the slow facial motions and odd features, to be sure.

2:42 "cody is going to grow up to be an actor"... you mean school shooter and victim of suicide right?
It sounds terrible but If those kids don’t get out of there that sounds about right😢
Moon_Gacha 11 update Cody and his other full blood sibling is now living with their biological mother
They're already happy
Don't worry dude, that person trying to run your wife off the road was just doing a prank. IT'S A PRANK BRAH! LIGHTEN UP!
she totally needs to learn how to take a joke.
This has to be the best slap to Martin.
Exactly! Why can't they take a prank? The kids are forced to regularly.
THANK YOU OMG YES.
Thank you so much for making that logic happen. Thank you so much for that comparison.
Translation: "I'm sorry about getting caught"
😂😂 -false- true
the thing that disturbs me the most is that these are the things they allowed to be seen by others... can you imagine what happens to these children when the video isn't recording?? this is disgusting....
Allie Wonders Exactly this! I said this on another video and all people can say is "it's fake, they said it's fake." So ridiculous! If that child is acting, he is better than most of the actors in Hollywood. It's crazy how people can be so blind!
Very scary to think about.
RUclips will flag someone for "hate speech", but this crap is allowed?
I’ve just learned about this “story”. I’m literally in tears. My mama heart breaks for all of these kids. When the brother slapped this sister?? I can’t. If I told one of my kids to slap their sibling..... they would look at me like I’m crazy..... I’m so heartbroken. My chest hurts.
as an older brother and a caretaker i will say those are NOT fake cries i know when kids play sometime they hit each other but thats why im there or the parents to teach them not to. These "trash" parents are the worst kind, that make kids go through emotional stuff that should not happen, because of these guys the kids can grow to become a bullies or even has anger management issues God i wish i can beat them up when i see them.
john golden kids actors in movies aren't even good at acting until they grow older... This is definitely not fake
I dont get people like them "blame it on the kid" kind of people. BUT THE POINT OF BEING A PARENT IS TEACHING THEM ughhh this got me so mad. And when he said its just exaggerating O MY LORD i went nuts. Kids dont hold back on their emotions they let it all out, its not exaggeration its called being IN PAIN U SHITS.
"You know you're not supposed to hit girls, but she's your sister so she doesn't counts!"
FREAKING INSANE
Ikr doesn't matter we are all human beings and we all feel
my dad told me that but he still punished me when i hit her
He supports abusing his daughter by his sons.
I've been told that, but it was always in a light-hearted "of course I'm joking nobody is actually that insane" kind of way.
i don't care if they're fake or not, they're trivialising child abuse to an influential/impressionable audience.. disgusting
agreed
Samuel that is a very excellent point
Samuel PERFECTLY FUCKING SAID.
"to an influential audience" what does that even mean? What influence does your average RUclips viewer have?
Samuel exactly, no matter if its fake or not those kids are still being pushed and yelled at and abused
Isn’t the real question...who the heck is watching videos of kids getting abused as their fun pass-time? Jesus.
The only fake video of theirs is that damn "apology" video. The way he said about "something else" being wrong with Cody rubbed me up the wrong way... These people make my skin crawl.
Nun Ya I
"Is there anything wrong, kids? Are you hurt? Are you feeling hurt?" Kids, like puppets: "No." Not at the moment, right daddy? They've been calmed down, they've been assured that everything's fine, just like a good parent would do, so that you can make that video to deceive the viewers.
This, my friends, is the method of manipulating someone's perception to cause them to doubt their reality. This is a type of social manipulation that is called "gaslighting", and daddy's doing it to both his kids and to the viewer, and then shifting the blame over all the flack they've received onto Philip DeFranco.
also in an other video about DO5, theres a version of that clip where the brother next to Cody says no then pauses then says wait and says no again. Kinda made me feel like it was scripted tbh
RorytheRomulan my parents do it all the time...manipulating me to say yes to whatever bullshit they speak of, to not fight back to abuse, and to always be a perfect daughter and obey them and get ggood grades orelse you'll be beaten by fist, words, and whatever stuff they could reach and throw and hit you with....that's why children say yes even though they practically want to scream no
Joeriz Osorio stay strong and know God is there for you. I'm sorry you have to go through that struggle. Stay positive and learn from it so you don't continue the cycle down the road
"Cody is gonna grow up and be an actor"
more a serial killer
I honestly wouldn't blame him! I seriously wouldn't be surprised!
Confirmed Inferno 54 a bully in the making
storm le cat bully 2 confirmed
Confirmed Inferno 54 FR
Cloutgang For life *hums pumped up kicks*
The parents kind of look like siblings. Would explain a lot.
ღ Pαsтεl Bυnnιε ღ
DAMN!!!
SPITTING FUCKIN DRAGON FIRE!!
Sweeeeeeeeeet hommmmmmmm aaaaaaaaalabama
Well, incest is common in North Carolina.... It honestly wouldn't surprise me to find out they're related.
Nikki Derringer are they from NC? I thought they were from MD and maybe live in WV now. If they’re still on probation in MD tho I don’t think they’d be able to move out of state unless you get special permission. IDK tho
They probably r related
Their video summed up; "and we would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling DeFranco!!"
confunctual I chuckled at this. Thank you
confunctual omg hahahha
confunctual lol, just thinking about commenting something like this
confunctual perfect 😂😂
confunctual that's exactly it... it's the bad guy at the end of Scooby doo blaming it on the meddling kids!
"Cody has.... Something else" that's killed me. That's was horrible
yeah, who the fuck says something like that? Poor kid..
+Jake
Sounds like she was talking about a sick and old animal that they kept around 'to be nice.'
Awful. Cody and Emma have the potential to become great people. I hope they know and learn that.
Yeah ptsd
Yeah that would ptsd. From violent child abuse.
The older kid gets away with stuff too
"He ran at me"....if you watch it in slow motion, he didn't "just push him off" he is literally holding on to the collar of the kid's shirt and basically threw him forward towards the shelf.
kaya119 you don't even need it in slow motion to see it
there’s no reason for an adult man to throw a child like that, even if he was running at you. you are the adult, you are the one responsible, there is no good reason i’m so fucking mad rn lmao
Shocker that a abusive pos is also a huge pussy that can't take a tiny kid running into them...
@@earthwindandjade yeah, imagine wanting to use that as a excuse. "Yeah, im like 3 times bigger than this 8 year old, and he's running at me, totally just going to push him out of the way, because I was scared, and not, because I have some anger issues"
Stupid horrible people🙄
Honestly, parents and family hitting Kody and them laughing at him crying.
Just disgusting
Honesty if I had to choose between this father and Garnet, u probably know who I'd choose
And evil
“It’s just a prank.”
Not really. If it was a prank why is the lad crying? Because he’s distressed and being abused.
So it’s not a prank. It’s abuse
They can’t even come up with lies because what they did was so far out
This guy is a classic abuser who starts getting choked-up and teary-eyed when people call him out for his abusive actions. This is the recourse of EVERY ABUSER, where they "apologize" while refusing to admit that they did anything wrong. If you are smart, you will not fall for this man's crocodile tears. You will not give him the benefit of the doubt after witnessing the hell he puts his children through.
Abso-fricking-lutley.
Too true... the whole presence of that dad makes me shake
He is just a reincarnation of hitler
He's just sorry that people called him out for his abusing the kids. he's just sorry that he can't get money off of abusing kids and had his revenue cut off and kids taken away, who were used as his fucking entertainment
YES! My father was a psychologically manipulative, emotionally abusive person who used this very same tactic against me. He'd antagonize me to the point where I snapped and went off on him, then he'd act all hurt and sit on the couch with a forlorn look on his face, asking me why I was being so "hateful". My grandfather was also horribly cruel to my family after my grandmother died, yet when he was confronted over it, the crocodile tears started rolling. I frickin' hate that crap so bad.
child services are a joke. it is disgusting how obvious the abuse in this family is and yet nothing had been done.
i feel the same way
Not really, that dude is manipulative he could have made it look like there was nothing wrong when CPS came over and bribed the kids to act like everything was fine. The video also stated the CPS was unaware of the youtube videos. On top of that there are allegations he lied to have custody over two of the kids. Clearly this guy is a manipulative sob.
no no no. the PARENTS are disgusting. child services are a tiny tiny department who are understaffed. they said they dont know about the youtube videos until now. if no-one reports stuff to them, no-one will do anything.
Liberal pussies.
"Weeb". Wow, what an extraneous remark.
Swear the Dad sounds like a south park character when says "overflowed"
Toushea That’s what I thought too. He reminds me of Cartman
They raised his kids as bullies and they are taking advantage of eachother specially Cody.
I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for that darn DeFranco kid
Curse that meddling DeFranco guy!
Hahahaha, thanks for this. Made my day.
Kelly Clubb FIND THEIR FUCKING ADRESS FOR ME, I KNOW YOU INTERNETS PEOPLE KNOW THAT SMART NIGGA SHIT
Akon "you internet people"? That's racist dude and we call ourselves nerds
hyndergogen We can only say nerd in the safety of our own home
This is fucking crazy. I'm so glad you spoke up about this. I couldn't imagine being around that kind of environment even as an adult let alone a kid who doesn't have the capacity to understand the weight of this abuse.
God, you are one sexy ass bitch. I converted to heterosexuality. #ImCured
Spammer
PRAISE BE TO MIKE PENCE! PRAISES!! :P
Marry me!!
I am getting such flashbacks from my own childhood.
The first 7 years of my life I grew up in a house like this with my father. I still haven’t recovered. I never will fully. I suffer from a chronic anxiety and panic disorder and ptsd
I’m very sorry to hear that I hope you get better quickly
That DeFranco guy. He's the real problem!
Nah.
NerdSync love your videos!
NerdSync surely you should do a video on DeFranco, not the hero we deserve, but at least the one that we need.
Scottttttty
your vids are amazing
I hate that mother. For her to refer to her child as "crazy" and just dismiss it. Ugh.
Oh. Now I get it. That's her STEPkid. So she doesn't give a shit. Classy.
nicalycab She a nasty bitch
nicalycab gotta love stepmoms.. I had a "great" one too..
Actually I get the impression that the stepmother cares more for cody than the father.
nicalycab Cody is acting in said videos, as they said in the videos he's gone from drawing money on a street corner for his real mother to wanting to be an actor. He's not "crazy" he just doesn't like crowds, the mum calls his bad behaviour crazy because that's the way the videos work. Even the guy from Kidbehindthecamera admits he's seen the kids cry on command, again it's fake the only reason it became so real was because Phil miss interpretated something that he did not understand...
I can't believe the parents are acting like the victims. They're basically saying, "You called us out on our child abuse, and therefore our problems are all your fault." They're literally exploiting their own children by verbally, mentally, and physically abusing them ONLINE.
What the hell kind of mindset do you have to have in order to think this way? This is sociopathic.
Yup, it's classic narcissism at play where they need to place the blame on others to justify their own wrongdoings. They are projecting, narcs do not take responsibility for relationship difficulties and exhibit no feelings of remorse. Instead they believe themselves to be the victims in the relationship
In one video, the girl is being bullied by her brothers and the dad starts screaming in her face not to play a victim. These people are stupid abusive hypocrites.
Typical abuser mentality there. "We aren't the problem here, YOU'RE the problem! Look what you did to US! Look what you've FORCED us to do!" I can't tell you how many times my Ex tried that trick with me before I got the guts to leave. Honestly, after seeing this, I'm gonna go hug my family and my best friend. Without them stepping in and forcing me to look at it, I probably wouldn't be here.
other way around, he was a guy, and I'm a chick, but thank you for the sentiment. I do appreciate it
+ImaraRavenfire My mistake. He'll end up like the dad lol 😂 Congrats, girl!
"you know you don't hit girls. but shes ur sister she don't count"
WTF kind of logic is that!?
"Cody has something else"
Yeah, he has you two as parents
Corpsie wouldn't really call them parents tbh
"That DeFranco Guy" should be a t-shirt
Melanie Walters I get your point but no way would that happen. Phil understands that as long as this is an issue he will be discussing he needs to avoid monetizing any part of this story. He shouldn't attempt to profit from this kind of story because it undermines his message. I do understand your joke/point but do not agree at all.
Melanie Walters would wear it
Melanie Walters No. That would be very hypocritical to say he won't monetize children being abused but sell a t-shirt referencing the child abusers.
Difranco* 😂
Ok
Classic text book responses from an abuser
Yeah, abuser playing out victim role.
the abusers are trying to manipulate the audience just like they do to their kids. Trying to put the blame on us, and make us feel guilty so they can act innocent, and better about themselves. Not happening. This is classic for child abusers/Manipulators to psychologically attempt to control people by guilt and mood swinging. He brings up some irrelevant things in the "apology video" then snaps to saying something totally happy, it doesn't really make sense.
Yup, classic response from an abuser!
HE IS NOT SORRY! HES JUST TRYING TO SAVE HIMSELF. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO KEEP THE KIDS!
"I own up to everything I did" *instantly blames someone else*
465 likes
its like saying "you caught me growing drugs but you wouldn't catch me if you weren't in my room!". It's just ridiculous
me lmao
Josef Stalin when " Stalin" needs to point out you're fucked up, you're fucked up
The fact these people can't take responsibility for their wrongful actions is absolutely ridiculous.
Comment's Rage they immediately after say yeah but it's all Philip defranco' s fault
Comment's Rage did you stop the video there? Also, I for one, and imagine many others don't buy the fake apology.
Comment's Rage
You should watch his "apology" again. He is sorry that he was exposed, not for what he did, for that he just gave exuses.
are you fucking stupid? they blamed in on Philip dumbass, quit defending these worthless shits
To them it's not wrong.
I have never seen any of that channel (and I'm somewhat glad about that) but the most distressing part of that for me was the kid saying he wanted everyone to go away so that he could calm down. I know that might sound weird in a video that also contained the slapping and everything else, but what's so upsetting about that calming down thing is that my wife is a school counselor, and a kid who asks everyone to go away so that they can calm down is SO doing the right thing. That is just about the model response that we'd want kids of that age to have when they're feeling upset. The fact that they weren't respecting those wishes, and why would they because it wouldn't get them more views, just ripped me to shreds.
Same, it's pretty sickening
The Reel Review same here. Absolutely same here. God bless Cody. God bless all the children. I hope they get through this.
