Pranking your kids to this degree is child abuse

This couple would prank their kids, film it and put it up on youtube. FINALLY as a result of a petition and some pretty insistant folks, the kids have been taken away from these two douchebags. I forsee a lifelong commitment to therapy.

Cruel YouTube father and stepmom who filmed themselves telling their nine-year-old son he was going to be adopted and smashing his X-box lose custody of their two children. Maryland parents Mike and Heather Martin have a YouTube channel in which their two youngest children are often the victim of cruel pranks. The parents of five had been under fire for an April video pranking their son, Cody, nine. Stepmom Heather squirted disappearing ink all over son Cody's bedroom carpet. Parents bawl him out, then reveal the joke and make him plug their channel. they released an apology video in April, but still said the kids were in on the 'pranks'. The parents lost custody of Mike's two children, Cody, nine, and Emma, 12. Cody and Emma's biological mom, Rose Hall, says the children are being 'deprogrammed' from the abuse. 

On Monday, Rose Hall, the biological mother of Mike Martin's two youngest children, Cody, nine, and Emma, 12, uploaded a video with her lawyer, Tim Conlon of the Custody Place, saying that she had emergency custody of the kids, who were the main targets of the 'pranks' of Mike and his second wife, Heather.

'They're doing good,' Hall says on the video. 'They're getting back to their playful selves.' 'The kids are in a deprogramming sort of mode in the moment,' said Conlon. The pair thanked people on YouTube who persisted on trying to get the children taken away from the couple.

I saw this earlier. What were these idiots thinking? Who finds terrifying your children funny?

Just when I thought my childhood was horrible... comparatively, my parents weren't so bad!

I don't much care for pranks to begin with, especially when they HURT, whether emotionally or physically.

We play pranks on each other all the time.

But it should never hurt.

We kid and joke around with each other, but this is just mean. We don't do mean.

We joke around and prank each other too but nothing that is mean or hurtful or brings tears. That's unforgivable and wrong on so many levels.

That is not pranking. That is bullying their own kids.

 Absolutely this.  I am glad they got their children taken away.  They were making a lot of money at the expense of their children's well being doing this.
