The TRAGIC Reality Of Family Channels...

[@LilySaintSin]

There are look laws to protect child actors, but none for family channel kids.

[@bexmw]

It’s a relatively new phenomenon, which is so say within the last 20 years it’s grown and changed enough to be considered as something that now needs laws about it. It will be interesting to see what happens.

[@jami5034]

It's due to the family vlogging/family genre being so "new". There hopefully will be laws in the future, but as of now I don't think there will be any time soon

[@Asliceofmoonpie]

Yea their should be a law 😢

[@itsasquid]

Have fun trying to get that to pass in Congress anytime soon. It'll take and arm, a leg, and the next 50 years for any progress.

[@pettykittyfam]

​@@jami5034"New" lol they have existed for over a decade now. What are our lawmakers doing they are too busy to write and pass some basic legislation protecting CHILDREN? wait... Cuz they don't care and they actually support child exploitation. So we won't get new laws because they don't want to not because they don't have time.

[@psychicrenegade]

The sick "parents" from the "Daddy O Five" channel actually appealed to ABUSERS, and were getting a ton of views from other sickos who were into seeing children be traumatized, hurt, embarrassed, and crying. I believe that all 5 of those kids should have been removed from that house, not just the two most targeted for the humiliation and abuse.

[@nevaehhamilton3493]

Does that mean the "parents" enjoyed abusing their kids because it was fun to them? If so, then that would mean they're sadists. People seem to be getting more and more proud of their crimes against humanity.

[@Corndogッ]

[@KaylaMarie-ox8le]

Apparently, they also got abused at their moms. The whole story is so sad.

[@carriegracious]

What's crazy is a family channel doesn't even necessarily need to show the kids. Two great mom influencers are mommycusses & Tori phantom, they have family related content but limit how they show their kids or present their kids. For example, mommycusses' oldest daughter is old enough to understand & consent (they're like 15/16?) but she acts out her littles, I'm not sure she's shared either of their voices online

[@Judgement_Kazzy]

If there's one thing I have to admit about Daddy O Five, they certainly made an impact. Years after the original controversy, they're still the gold standard for basically everything bad about family vloggers.

[@FoxAkimbo]

I kind of get what you mean, it's really messed up what happened to those kids but at least some good came from it, that being that people noticed the cruel nature of what family channels can be

[@TornadoTrick]

I swear I remember a channel, idk if it still even exists today, called “ J House Vlogs” and that J comes from the fact that they *told the public their real last name* without the kids consent, I think the oldest child is 15 years of age if I remember correctly, meaning that by 2026 they will be adults and likely get the hell out of there

[@AnimalAnimeLover]

Same with the Ingham Family when their son Jace had a bad eye they shoved a camera in his face and you could tell he didn't want to be filmed

[@c7yb-by]

@@TornadoTrick The channel still exists today, I originally thought they were an alright channel compared to others like 8 passengers and the labram channel (I think that’s what their channel is called). I agree with the fact that they did use the 1st letter of their last name in their channel name, I honestly believe that they shouldn’t have used it, mainly because it gives away the kids’ full identity. The parents obviously didn’t ask the kids if they wanted an initial of their legal last name in the channel name obviously because the kids were very young and didn’t understand the whole KZbin business, and what the kid were getting into in the future. The oldest kid is only 14 so he won’t be free of this torture until either 2027 or 2028. I have noticed something in their vlogs that’s odd, the oldest kid isn’t present in much thumbnails or video footage… I have a feeling the oldest kid got tired of having a camera in his face all the time. Another thing I’ve noticed from their vlogs is they’ve made their youngest child the spotlight in their own way, the youngest is present in mostly every video and shown in every thumbnail, there’s not one video without her (aside from the ones that were made before she was born) the parents have vlogged her from the moment she came out of the womb…..

[@TornadoTrick]

@@c7yb-by Damn that sucks that they still make content, just remember me and a friend making fun of their parents when we were second graders, we likely had more IQ then then even at that age. That channel is a perfect example of social media going way too far Edit: THANK YOU so much for the information you gathered

[@avionpiscean33]

There are also channels run by parents who will post compromising videos of their kids to get more views, knowing full well the people viewing them aren't watching for wholesome reasons.

[@jettanyx1]

It’s going on over on TikTok even worse. yT has made some steps to reduce it, but needs to do much more

[@cascadedeclipse8240]

It’s absolutely sickening that parents are doing this. As the famous quote goes “ All children should have parents, but not all parents should have children.”

[@DimaRakesah]

Amazing timing! Ruby from 8 Passengers was just arrested for 6 counts of child abuse after her youngest son and daughter were found to have their hands and legs duct taped, had wounds from being restrained, and were emaciated. It's a whole thing, with another woman involved and a long story, but it goes to show how "just a little" abuse seen on a family channel can be a whole ass ICEBERG of abuse in reality. Ruby insisted she was doing what is best for her kids and shut down her channel, and it seems to have only worsened her abuse. Imagine how many of these families are hiding abuse off camera, and there is nothing anyone can do without concrete proof.

[@P-P-Panda]

[@GalaxyGamingGroup]

I could not even begin to imagine how messed up I would be if was forced to have my entire life documented for strangers since childhood. Whenever my parents asked me to be in a photo (even in public where I have no expectation of privacy) and I said no, they always respected my choice. I wonder how many of these young children also express that they don't want to be on camera for youtube, only to be coerced into it by the parents that they depend on to survive, leaving them no real choice. I also vaguely remember a video years ago where a family channel announced that they were no longer adopting a foreign child because of their laws that would have prohibited the family from posting photos/videos of the kid online for the first year of adoption. It really shows just how many of these channels see their kids as money makers first and humans second.

[@bleepbloop3264]

not to mention how many of these channels have vaguely sexual captions or thumbnails. whether its on purpose or not they’re practically selling their kids

[@BUNCHOFLOSERSYOUARE-sg8wl]

One of the WORST I ha e seen is The Dougherty Dozen. The parents have adopted a bunch of kids on top of having biological kids totaling 12 kids! Every child they adopted has FAS. The parents drink! Alisha (mom) has talked about needing to hide her White Claws because they were disappearing. She claims she’s stopped drinking, but anonymous family insiders say it’s a lie. She does shopping hauls for groceries and just feeds these kids junk food. These kids are forced to work constantly and are signed to LIFETIME contracts with a convicted conman that’s scammed other entertainers with predatory contracts. These kids entire lives, medical issues, private issues, schedules, layout of their home is all over her channel. There’s been dangerous incidents that have happened as a result of the channel, kids have been bullied horrendously both irl and online. She exploits the one set of siblings that are attractive teens to predators knowingly with her content. The girl sibling has become very depressed, wants out of that house, refuses to film. Those sibings mom has been very vocal about how Alisha legally isn’t allowed to film them. Their mom allowed to take the siblings on a temporary basis while she gets clean It’s a very concerning situation for all these children because Alisha is extremely vindictive, fame hungry, selfish. The laws really need changed! 😊

[@aubreymorgan9763]

The Hart family was pretty bad too. 6 adopted kids starved and abused to perform for the camera. once CPS started looking into things they packed up the kids and drove off a cliff killing everyone. The Turpin family as well were big bloggers, everyone thought it was such a great family and they renewed their wedding every year in las vegs, only to learn that 1 time a year was when the children were allowed out of the house and were kept in a filthy house and often restrained (they even leased the girls to wealthy men and you know what i mean). 8 passenger's mom finally got arrested for much the same. and that one where they adopted the most disabled Chinese baby they could find (they specifically asked for that) and then used the adoption processes for views and 'rehomed' him about a year or two later saying he was too much to handle (the kid was like 3 years old). I don't think I've ran into a family vlog channel that didn't have very concerning things going on

One of the few family channels which I think is great is The Tube Family. I think the reason they work is because first of all, their content is wholesome. They record themselves playing games and going on holiday and sometimes doing challenges. More importantly though, it has the kids’ consent. The channel started as a spinoff from EvanTubeHD and obviously that channel was started by Evan by choice and not by force. Therefore no one is being forced to do YT and instead they all enjoy it. The fact that they’re still occasionally doing it despite the fact that Evan and Jill are nearly adults is proof that they clearly enjoy what they do

I remember there was a family channel called Toy Freaks during the peak of the elsagate incidents, there was a Dad and 2 daughters and they'd make little skit videos, except these videos were very weird. The Dad would make the 2 daughters dress up as babies (I'm not sure exactly how old the girls were but they definitely WERE NOT little babies, they were probably 7-10 years old at the most) and also other weird things like making them eat baby food and they'd spit them out, suck on pacifiers and make babyish noises. KZbin (thankfully) took the channel down, as due to the content there was definitely a high chance these videos were being watched by the wrong kinds of people. The Dad put out a statement that those weird kinds of people weren't the target demographic of the channel, I'm not really sure he was trying to exploit his children so he could get money from creeps on KZbin, but then again, even if that wasn't his goal he probably should've known better

One thing that tends to go under the radar about Daddyofive is how they used the channel to convince their children that they were famous KZbinrs, which implicitly would have made them more enthusiastic about uploading videos where they were depicted in compromising situations. In their infamous “blocking all the haters” video, their youngest kid Alex admitted that he was embarrassed by one of their older videos of him freaking out, but his parents promised him it would get a lot of views, which encouraged him to give the OK to upload. He took the fact that it got a lot of views in stride - the parents effectively got him to care more about views than whether or not a video of him crying and having a mental breakdown would bite him in the back in the future - not that he would have had any concept of it. It’s on the parents to make that determination and they failed spectacularly. I fear this could be a trap other family vlogging parents could fall into, whether on purpose or by accident.

Parents have another baby when their youngest is no longer a baby. The baby is the star and the older kids become background characters. Their posts are seemingly clickbait.

Family channels like fgteev and Evan tube hd family channel, are the good ones, then we get this…

[@perspgold8945]

the skit "comedy" channels are horrible in another way. the children follow an idea of comedy pursued by one of the parents, not developing any personality indicative of a separate identity there have been a few clear npd parents who rope their spouse and children into self-deprecating "humor," creating these highly toxic caricatures for the family members who become nothing more than props. One or two videos will seem funny making them explode in viewership but if you watch more than a few, you start to notice everything is driven by and centered around one person. Often this is self-depracating wherein the members are making fun of or mock hating the lead parent. To foster such a personality in a child over a delcade or more is so toxic. They get no choice because from a young age they are taught that this funny.

You should look into the current 8 Passengers situation

I heard the other day that Germany has made family vlogs illegal. I don't know if there's any Germans in the comments that can confirm this. Anyway, they should be illegal.

[@elsahyrule6711]

I know France has stricter laws not sure about Germany though.

[@luellastarr9470]

everything’s illegal in germany

Its a good thing I wasnt into that type of content

[@MonsterMasterFightingLucario]

Yeah, I’m not recording my niece and uploading it to KZbin. I used to watch Skylander Boy and Girl before their videos were deleted. The experience throughout… Even when I enjoyed the videos, it was painful.

[@kyledowning6775]

There's a difference between parents filming occasional clips of their kids in their natural element and using them to make money. If I had a kid who was playing FF7 classic on PS1 and filmed a couple battles, it'd be kind of a bonding experience in some respects because it's nostalgic for me. Obviously the kid should be aware and know the risks of uploading online, and the exploitation for views and money is a big no-no in general, regardless of age.

[@MustyYew]

how am I just know noticing your brick wall background was just a wallpaper lol

[@jnort95]

Great Video!

[@jettanyx1]

A lot of these kinda started off tv shows like honey boo boo, Jon & Kate plus 8, 18 kids and counting..etc. it didn’t work out for any of them either

[@tinmanlover1994]

The parents sign the influencer contracts the child has no say cause their kids underage they can't consist

[@Ch3rryf1zz]

toca boca family rp's are the best family vloggers/hj

[@EighmyLupin]

Other thing that needs to be mentioned is that the viewers of these channels are enablers...

[@JaggedBird]

At least the TV and movie kids have protections via laws. These lot don't. We need more MommyCusses family vlogs and less Shaytards and DaddyOFive cases

[@realbrigidtenenbaum]

I think channels like for example Vlad and Niki should be banned. These kids completely lack privacy and it's not much different from child labor.

[@Totally_Descendants]

8 Passengers didn’t quit KZbin. KZbin made them stop uploading.

[@robertrussell4035]

Just a reminder for people make sure you back up your picture from Facebook and any cloud service. You never know you might lose all your pictures. What I want to do is set stuff on a USB stick and set it in a fire proof safe.

[@alyzu4755]

Seeing what's happening now with Ruby Franke, my hope is that these channels get demonitized. At the very least.

YO YO YO ITS YA BOY KEKROCK

[@kendoruslink7017]

These channels and videos always come off as narcissistic parents who are like gods gift along with their kids

[@nevaehhamilton3493]

That's because that's exactly what it is; narcissistic parents flexing about how awesome they think they are. They see their children as mere extensions of themselves instead of individual human beings. They see them as objects, toys to play with, and a way to make easy money. They're essentially pimping their kids out to online predators at this point.

[@giantchamp415]

Thank you for the warning before Piper Rockelle. If you didn't I would've been triggered so bad I might've never came back from the anxiety and depression. Crisis averted.

[@CoolUncleGuy]

And only a few months later we leared about the full extent of the abuse of the 8 Passengers channel. New laws NEED to be put in place to protect kids.
