Holy poo poo I just watched the EXPOSED video on YouTube, how in the holy gently caress did this channel last even two minutes?! It's just him abusing his one kid, over and over and over. It's so bad.

I can take no joy in any of this.

I remember being abused became routine for me and I ended up just going with it as a matter of fact; fighting back made it worse, crying was interpreted as self pity instead of remorse (it wasn't enough to be in trouble, I had to be grateful for my "lectures"), and nothing I would do would change the course of my abusers so I would just figure in for a penny, in for a pound, and used this to justify why I was being abused.


I would get toys as tokens of affection and for something to be taken away.

Space camp, diving lessons, Legos, science toys from the Discovery store -- to be taken or thrown away because i was ungrateful. This was the preferred out punishment for me because I didn't have to get hit or yelled at nearly as long for whatever I did wrong.

I want to give you a hug. For real.

It came up in the imgur comments when this was making the rounds last week, so I didn't see it myself (several people confirmed it, however) but I assure you the psychological abuse is just as hard on the kid. They're conditioning them to accept being victimized and yelled at because good things happen when you are. Their "apology" video has the oldest boy (the one who actually gets to participate in the bullying of Cody)saying "At least you guys don't beat us like other parents do." before screaming the dad's tagline "IT'S JUST A PRANK BRAH!" so they've been conditioned to think that their situation is preferable to the alternative (which is apparently continuous physical abuse).

Shameful.

Actually the kind of stuff he said is criminalized in Canada under hate speech legislation. whereas in America your speech can only be restricted ( i.e. criminalized) if you are uttering credible threats of death or bodily harm, in Canada it's sufficient for you just to be "inciting hatred" against a group or person.

Yet another useless take on Pence: the behavior (i.e. refusing to be alone with women other than his wife) is not really an uncommon stance with "serious" US Christians - those folks that go to church every loving Sunday. Not just for sermon, either. Sunday school, sermon, potluck. Then come back at 6pm for night church. Oh and there's a Wednesday night service.
While it's kind of weird, it's more common than you might realize.

It's something that we're only just coming around to as a culture, but emotional abuse is just as damaging in the long term as physical abuse, and make no mistake, what is happening there is abuse. I know a lot of people (like those parents) scoff at the idea that it can be abuse if you don't hit the kid, but it's backed up by science.

Both physical and emotional abuse alter the way that a child thinks in pretty similar (and damaging) ways. Granted, emotional abuse lacks the possibility of permanent physical disability like having a broken arm that doesn't heal right because the parent denied medical care, but the psychological scars can be the exact same.

It's teaching a child that something that is profoundly abnormal is actually normal, preying on their emotions and need to be loved by their parents, and teaching them profoundly dysfunctional coping mechanisms.

Also, the way that the parents get the siblings to participate in the abuse is classic abuser behavior.

I have a pretty thick skin and not much gets to me, but I wish that I'd never searched for one of those videos and that I'd just taken all your words for it. This is the first time in a long time that something on the internet has made me physically sick to my stomach.

"Jared Stancombe, a program manager for a global health care supplier, told TPM that his full-throated comments prompted attendees to check their mobile phones for information about his background. They found a number of articles about Gorka’s ties to the Order of Vitez, a Hungarian knightly order founded by a Nazi collaborator.

Gorka has adamantly denied belonging to the group, though he acknowledges his father was a member and that he sometimes wears the Order’s medal."

It's insane how many of these would be just fine if they'd have been done on a stable platform. I never realised how much yoga idiots had in common with crossfit.

Also doggos!

edit: also also those parents with the 'prank' videos can get entirely hosed. I was linked the 'ink prank' video just as it was blowing up and anyone who could watch that poor kid in real actual distress being ganged up on by his whole family and not be angry is a huge fucker. I absolutely could not finish watching it. Yeah yeah we have all these people commenting 'oh that poor animal [who seems to be having a good time] is in huge distress' on lots of normal cute pet videos when of course they're fine but if you think this is in the same vein you can get entirely hosed. I'd like to say it's unbelievable to see but hey, we've seen it now. Sure I think we're mostly on the same page here so I'm ranting to the choir but drat it makes me mad.

Emotional abuse is no joke. These are the people who should make you feel safe and cared for.

You're probably right; sorry for dragging the thread down, just wanted to say what happened in those videos is very not ok, and to try and illustrate to anyone that thinks that it is what it feels like on the other end of it.

I fully expected some poo poo talking, I just ignore it because this is the yakkety-sax-9-11.avi forum.

If CPS investigated them then they definitely interviewed the boy. As damming as the videos are they can't take action until they actually talk to the kids. Chances are they are currently on a case plan and taking down the videos/apologizing was necessary while the investigation is ongoing.

In what world is anything a child says more compelling than the videos? CPS can act on behalf of pre-verbal children, so I'm surprised that it's a hard line here.

What jurisdiction are they in?
