I Caught A News Group Releasing A Video Telling Children To Kill Themselves

[@thinkfact]

And, I'm already demonetized. Well, I guess even with things censored and while actually defending KZbin I still get hit. I hope if their staff sees this, and they have a change of heart. I wanted to give a portion of the money I could make from this to a suicide prevention group, as I said in the video. I guess I will have to figure something else out. Edit: I put in a request for them to look at it.

[@iamstickfigure]

The title of the video says "Telling Children To Kill Themselves." And there's a lot of mention of suicide in the auto-captions for the video. That's all the algorithm sees unfortunately.

[@tomyski94]

Im confuced , im not sure of this video of momo but im 100% sure my little 8 years old cousin has been looking videos of this suposed momo thing seens long ago 2018 so im confuced when did kids started finding the momo disturbing thing funny and where did it originate from. I say this because first time i saw it from my cousin i find it disturbing as hell. And that was long ago before this momo challenge.

[@cuiper_]

Hopefully this vid lands you some new patreon support to make up for it!

[@giada_tarantino]

I'm so proud of you, Dale. I have a two year old son and it hurts to think he could possibly be involved in something so sick, when growing up. Thank you for spreading awareness about it, thank you for being so passionate and classy. I will definitely be sharing this video with everyone I know!

[@thinkfact]

Thank you. I think there are just some sad people in the world that find themselves losing a sense of consideration and compassion for strangers. Growing up, my father would always go out of his way to help people, he still does... I would sit in the car and watch him, or go to charities with him. This was a man who lost so much, but always found time to give. Maybe thats a lift for a homeless person, plowing out driveways for people in the early morning for free after a storm. Over time, I wanted to do it with him. He never put it in peoples faces, he did it because it was something he felt was the right thing and something that made him feel good. I found that helping, and in this case standing up for people, made me happy too. I think if you can show your children that helping people feels much better than hurting people, then you will set them on the right path. I feel bad for Brandon, because to me it seems that he feels nothing, or worse, he enjoys doing things at the expense of others. I hope he comes around to all this.

[@giada_tarantino]

@@thinkfact what a beautiful insight into your life, Dale. I see now where you get your beautiful heart from... you grew up seeing the most incredible example of selflessness and kindness there could be. I am so grateful to people like your father for making the world a better place, as well as making many people's lives much less difficult. I have always felt the same way growing up; whenever teachers asked me what I'd want to become one day, I never had a definite answer because all I knew was that I wanted to help people. I didn't know in which way, but still to this day I feel like that is the most fulfilling choice anyone could possibly make. This world truly needs more people like you and like your father! Just imagine what a difference that would make. I wonder if humanity will ever get to a point where each and every single individual is ready to embrace such wisdom. I feel bad for him too... I can't seem to understand what happens in a person's mind, to get them to do something like this on purpose. I also hope he comes around and I am sure that your video will make a huge impact on the way he - as well as many other people - see things. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your hard work. I know it must be difficult for you because it requires a lot of time and resources... but I hope you know it is worth it. Not only you open people's eyes - you open their MINDS... and that is the most amazing thing. I have been following you since the very beginning and you are the only person I still find myself watching, because I love your content and your passion makes me passionate too.

Hey Dale! Good job. Really nice to see someone finally speak out about this publicly and find the people responsible for this horrible mass panic created video. I first heard about this from my grandma and was shocked that people really blamed youtube for such fake news.

Well I definitely do not want to conflate the notion that he is responsible for all this momo panic, but he definitely created one of the worst videos out of this whole situation. And he lied to me about his affiliation with some of the stuff. That said, I ultimately hope he reevaluates his life a bit after all this. Strives to make a positive change the world.

OMFG I actually think I know him. He used the rumplins name for EVERYTHING about 15 years ago. I am trying to get into my old myspace account. I used to have him on there on and off.

I shared this with his hometown news agencies but they are a bunch of idiots so will likely ignore it.

One thing I worry about is how the YT algorithm will filter this video. I've heard plenty of stories of sensitive topic content essentially having their views/reach slashed, even if it's for an ambition such as this.

You did some amazing research, and it's a level of journalism that puts most to shame. But the overall tone of this video could have been better thought out. I appreciate your position, and admire your conviction; though it gets a bit difficult to watch.

The story seemed to trail off by just short of public shunning; so unforgivable what one persons' lack of respect, Dale you lead by good manners and this I applaud you. Keep in mind that it is unfortunate this person will not change for the better because he is a born loser, while he lies to himself the one true judge can only empower all of us to behave! Good story always told from the side of humbleness brings the message of inspiration and always encourages each one of us to bare one another, we owe the truth to bring out the light into his darkness-evil does not win if we expose it!

In my country...the panic about the momo challenge had started around the middle of 2018......now it has died out though.

Yeah, the hard part is there are no conformations on its involvement in most crime cases I have found around the world at. The police make a statement at the start of a case and there is no follow up.

[@JoshuaJCrawford]

This is better than cable news investigations

[@itsROMPERS...]

Are there really a lot of kids that are likely to do something as extreme as attempting suicide just because they see something on KZbin? I can see it affecting kids that are already suicidal. I'm old, but have parents today just completely abandoned their kids to the internet? "I hope there's nothing bad on the internet, because there nothing I can do to keep my kid from seeing and acting on it." What do modern parents have to do that's more important than watching their kids? Unless you know the exact content, you should be watching every second your child watches.

[@crisisvisuals]

Great video and investigation ! Following your trail to see if there already was a reaction from Brandon (or his many accounts/pseudos), i went to the GuffDump youtube channel and took a look at the video called "WTF? A Marilyn Manson Lego Set?!" - The video has the RetroFeed (RF) watermark on it, and even credits Brandon Walker full name and the production company he works for (or another pseudo) for the creation of it. He's mentioned as soon as the 2nd upload on GuffDump's YT channel, the first one being. The connexion between him and the other profile are pretty clear by now... Anyway, i really hope he gets out with his side of the story, and at the very least apologize. There are other ways to show you work to the world than spreading insanely dangerous behavior trough clickbait titles on fake news profile and/or to crediting your full name just to make the public be like "weow those few obscure websites reposted it, he must be some badass filmmaker". Be consistent, take credit for all your work, the good, the bad, and in this case, the ugly. Being "pro" and adult is also admitting your mistakes and try to fix them or lessen the damage.

[@kateajurors8640]

I don't know before I was 5 years old already knew what suicide was and knew that I wanted to die I didn't know the word but I also had a lot of childhood trauma that lasted for years that my parents didn't know about for quite some time. I think it's great sleuth work and great that you revealed this person but everyone seems to freak out whenever a child knows about suicide. Maybe I'm just desensitized to it cuz I live my whole life with those kind of feelings I still do though so still going to therapy seeing a psychologist and taking meds so you're probably right we should expose kids to this at all I'm messed up enough we don't need more of me

[@J2daDiddy]

I got the feeling that you know more about Brandon Walker than what you've posted here. I'm referring to, "...some of the things that you have done beyond that Momo video might not be easy for people to look past.". To me, this implies that he's done more things that are, at least, questionable. Although I think that being the judge and jury yourself about someone's actions is a slippery slope, in this case, I trust in your judgement, for I applaud your belief in giving people a second chance.

So hopefully the KZbin employees who might review this are more open minded and patient than the algorithm they trust to demonitize videos about sensitive topics.
