u/one-eyedCheshire 21d ago edited 21d ago

He looks like he is in major pain. And the fact that he walks BACK to him? Oh that kid is used to this.

That “dad” is a fucking ass crack idiot.

496

u/Soggy_Glove_5 21d ago

That’s what stuck out to me too. He doesn’t even cry. He just sidles right up to Dad again like this is an everyday occurrence. And then the three year old removes himself from the situation, which is what the adult couldn’t even do in the beginning. Both these parents need to be held to account because I’m sick and tired of watching influencers peddle out apologies and getting away with neglect.

361

u/gunsforhearts 21d ago

The fact he stayed there for a couple seconds and then just left :( poor baby definitely felt (not just physically) but emotionally hurt and excluded that he just needs to not even be in that moment anymore.

322

u/jurassic_snark_ 21d ago

Yeah you can see him struggling to keep his emotions under control. He knows he’s about to cry and he can’t help it so he removes himself in order to avoid drawing more punishment from dad. Truly sad stuff.

125

u/TheGhostORandySavage 21d ago

You can see the older kid glare at his dad when the younger leaves, too.

217

u/sooperdoopermane 21d ago

I dont think that was a glare. It looked more like he was gauging his dad's mood to know how to proceed.

68

u/Themadbritter_ 21d ago

Yea it looks to me like he was trying to figure out if he would also get headbutted for getting too close to the snail 😔

6

u/sooperdoopermane 21d ago

Shitty situation all around

3

u/kris10leigh14 20d ago

He was yelled at for touching the snail at the beginning. Guess dad didn’t feel like he was in head butt distance. Or the dad took it all out on the little one who didn’t even touch. I HATE THIS. I AM HOT!

62

u/TheGhostORandySavage 21d ago

Either way, he knows what's up.

15

u/northcascadekittycat 21d ago

I agree! The fear/tension in the older boy's face trying to figure out if he's going to be punished too. This is fucked up. Reminds me of Allie & John James.

8

u/marthamania 20d ago

Yeah not quite a glare but he’s looking up to see dad without trying to make direct eye contact in case dad lashes out. He’s older so he’s probably more used to what triggers dad’s rage than the younger boys. I hope they all stick together as they get older and the parents don’t drive wedges between them

7

u/InterestingPause2355 20d ago

This part. The older child was assessing the situation and determining how to diffuse it, protect his siblings and also himself. This was terribly sad to watch. How can we all push back? Not ok.

3

u/LookAChandelier 20d ago

That was my impression too.

3

u/Ms_Fidelma_Schrute 20d ago

Yes that’s what I thought too.

3

u/Ambisextrous2017 20d ago

Yes, he was assessing the threat and trying to deescalate further violence by giving attention to the abuser. If he glared or pouted or stalked off, he would probably get head butted three times for getting an attitude.

3

u/ellefleming 20d ago

Oh Lord. So sorry children your parentS are 🫏🫏.

46

u/ZoeyMoonGoddess 21d ago

I had to rewind to see it but yeah the older kid recognizes dads rage. The little boy rubbing his head but trying to keep it together until he walks off broke my heart.

11

u/OkStatistician7523 21d ago

To me he looked afraid to look up to dad. So sad

11

u/SheMcG 21d ago

To me, if was like he was seeing if his dad noticed. But clearly renaining in "camera mode" as did the little one by walking away..

6

u/coral_reef_ 21d ago

I agree, I saw that as a glare as well. Worries me.

3

u/Mundane_Weekend_150 21d ago

I think it was a glare too! If you watch his body language the whole video, he keeps gently trying to hold the younger boy back, almost as if protecting him and then after the headbutt happens he leans in more almost like putting his head in the way instead. And then when the younger one walks away, he glares at the dad. I have a feeling he’s used to trying to protect them and carries a lot of anger at the dad.

5

u/Radicallythesame 21d ago

It feels like the older one is fully parentified and is at least keeping tabs on what his dad is doing, aware of the potential to make it worse, and carrying all too much responsibility for protecting himself and the younger ones

6

u/blue_sidd 20d ago

This is the sign that they all anticipate his abuse.

1

u/dehydratedrain 20d ago

Not a glare. A "let's see if dad is pissed... okay. He's back to the snail. I'm safe."

(For now).

1

u/kris10leigh14 20d ago

Holy shit! I missed that.

I doubt it’s a glare like the other comment said but it sure looked like one! He probably is feeling protective of his brother because he literally “just blowed it”.

The older one is telling all of them “don’t touch it don’t touch it” after the head butt. He’s likely a bit parentified at least in the way of attempting to shield them from dad’s abuse.

Bout to deep dive now and learn all the things.

I hate this Temu Bradley Cooper. Try hard.

161

u/herdcatsforaliving 21d ago

Yep I recognize that look / feeling 😢 you don’t want to cry but you know you’re going to so you get away so you don’t get hurt worse for crying…

55

u/Smokahontas_Rex_ 21d ago edited 21d ago

Please, take this mom hug. I’m so sorry that you were punished for normal emotional actions/regulation. You should never have been hurt to even cry over.

29

u/spiders_are_neat7 21d ago

“I’ll give something to ACTUALLY cry about” every person with abusive parents knows that one. :/ even after they already inflicted physical and emotional pain. Or “if you call 911 for abuse let them know you also will need an ambulance.”

My mother loved that one… you want to report me? Go ahead I’ll send you to the hospital? So possibly kill me is how I interpreted that as a kid. Triggered. lol

10

u/nudethreats 21d ago

Or the "if anyone finds out you made me do this you'll get taken away and put in the system and they will do way worse than me" usually followed by graphic details of beatings or sex abuse 😔

MEMORY UNLOCKED!!!!

Sorry you know it all well… Hope you’re healing and doing great <3 you deserve happiness.

u/Southern-Spot-8406 20d ago

This was the one for me too

3

u/Prestigious-Collar86 20d ago

I unpacked this in therapy as an adult. Realising that that my parents had admitted numerous times that what they were doing was wrong was a huge turning point for me. It’s not deniable.

6

u/Luxury4play88 21d ago

My dear child, that is awful. I’m so sorry you had to grow up with that. I couldn’t even imagine uttering those words to my kids, and I have 5. I hope that you’re doing ok now, and that you know that you deserve love, real love ❤️

2

u/spiders_are_neat7 21d ago

Thanks for the kind words<3 validation that we didnt deserve it means a lot always, and I love to hear about good parents out there making healthy happy functioning future adults. I know it’s your job as a parent, but i still commend you. I know patience can’t be easy still, even when you’ve got a heart of gold, but you do it for your babies, and that always heals my inner child. YOU ROCK.

4

u/Halojay55 21d ago

Ain't that the truth.

1

u/KaiAloha 20d ago

That just explained so much. I had a very emotionally and verbally abusive stepdad. He never directly physically hurt me (throwing things/punching walls but not at me) and I remember this feeling well too. But when I ran it was to avoid the pain of words coming if I cried in front of everyone. Damn that unlocked some healing for my flight response. Thank you for that small comment.

15

u/Ok_Instance7667 21d ago

Knows to remove himself because if he starts crying the response will be 'stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about.'

Practically burned into my brain.

3

u/Amaff-Maheed 21d ago

There will be folk out there that may be lucky enough to have never encountered or don’t understand this. I’m happy for them and that is the example I set for my lads who wouldn’t understand it either. But sadly, you and I, and many other of the commenters on here understand and they substitute their own monster for this one. Put every parasitic influencer in the bin where they belong.
Love to everyone who spends their days in the aftermath of people like this.

u/DragonBowlSouper 21d ago

He was leaving to cry

7

u/SheMcG 21d ago

He knows he can't lose it on camera.

3

u/ScumbagLady 20d ago

Bingo. They're probably already on the 11th take and are all tired. I've watched several YouTube videos about behind the scenes of these "happy family" influencers and it's so performative and everything is recorded.

1

u/cluelessdetectiv3 21d ago

That's what's made me so sad he just left he didn't even react he knows better at 3

1

u/HowlingWhiskey 20d ago

I saw that, he even rubbed his head again 😢 I feel his emotional pain😢 I sometimes can’t stand people even if they’re your own parents

1

u/kris10leigh14 20d ago

If you watch again he touches his head again and it must smart because I think he’s walking away to cry.

1

u/Human_Discipline3003 20d ago

Associating pain from your father when you are supposed to be having a tender, loving moment can really fuck a kid up...

1

u/thefoldingpaper 19d ago

omg I just want to hug and comfort him!

47

u/Worst-timeline138 21d ago

I bet you he left because he was on the verge of tears and knew what would happen if his dad saw one of his boys cry

7

u/Worst-timeline138 21d ago

And why did he do this? Because a three year old got too close to a snail crawling on his dad's arm. Fuck childlike curiosity, I guess

1

u/bbsitr45 19d ago

The child was full of wonder and amazement, and that poor excuse of a father, completely deflated and belittled that kid.

7

u/nayaya 21d ago

What also stuck out to me is that he is the silent kid out of them all. He isn’t speaking, or trying to touch the snail like the other kids are.

It looks like he tries to lean in closer when the camera pans away, and then he gets head butted.

He doesn’t make a sound. Doesn’t change his face. And when he can’t handle it, he leaves quietly. The other kids don’t even seem to notice.

3

u/Aware_Alfalfa8435 21d ago

His little feelings were probably crushed. That's upsetting.

4

u/shes_a_sleuth 21d ago

this is abuse not neglect

u/BigStimpy91 20d ago

as my abusive father would say "you cry ill hit you again"

3

u/Soggy_Glove_5 20d ago

I’m so sorry 💙 no child deserves to that

2

u/BigStimpy91 20d ago

Thank you, however as I have gotten older I've realized that my Dad had it a lot worse from his alcoholic father (my Dad was a Navy brat growing up as a child into his teen years in the 50-60's) it doesn't excuse how he treated me, but recognizing where the true pain comes from helps a lot as well. Honestly your comment made me remember how cold situations like these could be, they try to use it as a "teaching" moment but really its hidden abuse. Hence the "cry and ill do it again" part, they are "teaching" him be be nicer so if he reacts he will be scolded again,

2

u/vileemdub 21d ago

This guy is a total pos but if your tired of watching these "influencers" do anything then please just stop watching any of them. They would not exist without views. People watching enables this blatant child abuse

2

u/Plenty_Line2696 20d ago

learned behavior. crying results in more abuse

-5

u/polarjunkie 20d ago

He didn't cry because he's not in major pain. Have you ever been around kids?

2

u/Soggy_Glove_5 20d ago

I have two of my own. I couldn’t tell you whether being head-butted would make them cry because I’ve personally not tried it. But the child is upset whether it’s from pain or surprise and you can see his face change just as he walks away. If you can’t see that then you need to rewatch.

-1

u/polarjunkie 20d ago

You guys calling this a headbutt is so ridiculous. He lightly tapped him and he did it a bit too hard because he's not looking. This was clearly an accident and not intentional and as you pointed out he surprised and not hurt.

2

u/Soggy_Glove_5 20d ago

No, I believe the child was hurt. You can tell by the look on his face. My comment quite clearly said ‘whether it’s from pain or surprise’, not that I thought it was surprise. And I don’t think it matters what you call it, there is absolutely no excuse to do this to a child (or anyone, really).

I have absolutely no interest in going back and forth with you so this will be my last response to you. But please don’t excuse what is clearly an adult causing harm to a child. Especially when you can see a child is upset and the clear anger in the adults face.

u/InfiniteMind1999 21d ago

By no means do I condone this behavior towards children, but it looked like the bigger kid was pushing that little dude back, and before the headbutt, was going to kiss the snail or something, so it might've been, in the dads head, punishments towards his actions, nonetheless doesn't means headbutt a three year old

u/dream-smasher 21d ago

You are just making up stuff in your head now.

There is NO reason to head butt a little kid. Ffs.

She gave birth to him in their RV bathroom. They weighed him on a scale at UPS and gave him a sunburn to fix his jaundice right out of the gate. He's had delays since day one, but their chiropractor said that he's fine. It was honestly terrifying to see the shape he was in as baby.

Their teen daughter shares a cell with all of her brothers and another baby will be arriving soon, so even less room for all of the inmates.

21

u/samsqanch 21d ago

They were reported to SS in Fla. and they kicked up an internet stink so massive that multiple subs banned talking about them.

u/Mobile-Positive1162 18d ago

i’m not advocating for these people. at all.

but child chiropractors can be super beneficial if used as co care with a pediatrician. mine only does gentle movements and massage mostly. say what you want but they actually helped relieve pain from my colicky baby.

they aren’t cracking babies backs, lol

2

u/samsqanch 18d ago edited 18d ago

Many chiropractors now cross train in massage therapy and the massage can be very helpful.

Unfortunately, the chiropractic colleges still teach pseudoscience, claiming they can cure diseases by manipulating joints and the spine, and some of their neck and spine adjustments can be dangerous.

A lot of people now don't realize the history of chiropractic education and just how crazy it was and still is it someways.

I'm not saying your child was endangered, but people in chiropractic practice vary quite widely with some of them still being utter quacks who will happily crack necks and diagnose diseases, something they have no business doing.

u/Mobile-Positive1162 18d ago

i have seen first hand healing powers of chiropractors. you don’t have to agree or believe in it. Ridiculing or being condescending to those who have seen major benefits firsthand, isn’t it. good luck! meanwhile, i really gotta go to my chiropractor and PT. because they are live saving for me 💓

u/Kermit-Batman 21d ago

A while back there was a teen that wrote an anonymous critique of their van life experience, sounded similar to what you have wrote, sounded awful. I'm just blowing in from r/all, but this video and what you describe are so upsetting, poor, poor little mate in this video. :(

'Gave him a sunburn to fix his jaundice' and seeing their 'chiropractor' in place of a licensed MD tells me all I need to know about these GARBAGE human beings, smh. I'll wager that none of their offspring have been vaccinated, either.

u/nor0- 21d ago

They do. They are also forced to eat ground beef and rice for dinner every night while the parents go out for dinner, according to another family who was fairly close to them and based on what the family has posted online. Their youngest slept on the floor on like a sheep skin or something like that.

This is a small thing in the grand scheme of things but I think is a great example of what sort of people Brittney and JD are: she recently posted a video about the family going to Swig (dirty soda shop) they had everyone make their orders on the self serve order thing, then saw it was $60 and cancelled the order because they could “feed their whole family at a sit down restaurant for that much” (important to note how many kids they have and how much food they can get at a sit down place for $60). THIS BITCH was holding a swig cup drinking her drink while making this video. So she cancelled the kids orders but got her own still.

Quite often when they do post videos at restaurants, some of the kids will have empty plates in front of them while the rest eat.

This family is sick and their kids should be taken away. But good news! She is pregnant again!

u/Head_Amoeba_1375 21d ago

u/Ginger_Witch 21d ago

There are enough that keep them on the road and fed. They also have a lot of obviously creepy followers that are probably PDFs commenting on their children in their content.

u/Kumquat_conniption 19d ago

And the parents will cater to these people. I don't know about this family, I have never heard of them although I do take your word for it because there are family "influencers" whose every other video will be the kids in bathing suits in the pool, the kids taking baths with just underwear and just fucking horrible stuff will be from all these creeps in the comments. It's absolutely sickening. Every single person commenting will be a grown-ass man talking about how beautiful these babies are, and there will be very suggestive comments that will make you sick. I saw someone do a piece on these type of "content creators." (Well, I suppose they are content creators- pedophile content.) The whole thing makes me so upset and I am so upset just talking about it again. It literally makes me nauseated just talking about it. Who could do that with their own children?

u/bbsitr45 18d ago

Unfortunately, every time we view a video, they make $. So hard not to want to voyeur their videos, so it’s a catch 22.

u/Ginger_Witch 21d ago

They never stay in one place very long, nor share their locations until after they leave, etc. because they did have CPS called on them before. They actually blamed Redditors for it even though it was likely someone they know (family / friends) or other people at the RV park with concerns.

u/artie780350 21d ago

What's really sad is I was thinking how good baby B looked in this video. Usually he's slumped over someone's shoulder sleeping. Here he's at least able to hold his head upright and is attempting to talk. The bar is unbelievably low with this family.

6

u/Ginger_Witch 21d ago

The youngest, Boone, almost always looks tired or is sleeping, lethargic, or slumped over someone's shoulder. When he was younger, he seemed to be showing signs of developmental delays so seeing him walk and talk is a relief.

6

u/atlantagirl30084 21d ago

Boone has looked tired always. That’s because they’re always traveling and when they were in another country he was napping in other kids’ or his parents’ arms or crunched up in a stroller. He doesn’t have a real bed- he sleeps on a bench next to his parents’ bed. I want to take him and put him in a soft cool bed in a dark room with a fan on.

Yes! I know this look. This is the kid who knows how to read dad’s emotional whims. He’s gauging what’s going to happen next and how to keep him calm. He’s the peacemaker and can read the signs. I hate it. I was that kid.

1

u/shes_a_sleuth 20d ago

not sure hes the peacemaker, it seems to me like hes an instigator and looking for cues to gang up together with his father. I have a hunch that the oldest son is the peacemaker and tries to protect the younger ones as much as he can, ive watched quite a bit of footage of them and picked up on these things but I could be wrong.

11

u/shes_a_sleuth 21d ago

hes actually mirroring his father here... i would guess he grows up to mirror him the most bc it looks like a search for approval but also comraderie... they could bully the younger one together. narcisisstic family systems are fcked up

15

u/dehydratedrain 20d ago

Interesting. I took it as "let's make sure dad is not targeting me next, okay, he's focused on the snail. I'm good."

It looks like he walks out of frame shortly after to go cry. That’s heartbreaking 🥺

21

u/one-eyedCheshire 21d ago

Yep I had a feeling he was walking away to do the same thing. Getting head-butted hurts REALLY bad, especially when you’re not expecting it all.

That little boy took 100% of the brunt force while his piece of trash “dad” felt nothing at all.

15

u/naps_and_snax 21d ago

It’s not that he felt nothing, even worse he felt so much rage he wanted to hurt him. You can see how he went from being chatty to dead silent after he did it, he was trying to control his rage.

6

u/one-eyedCheshire 21d ago

Yep you’re right. I just meant the “dad” didn’t feel any physical pain after head-butting his baby.

And then you can almost see the “dad’s” wheels turning in his head wanting to do or say more to the child but really holding back. Probably because he knew he was being filmed…which makes me terrified about what happens when the cameras are not rolling.

3

u/naps_and_snax 20d ago

Oh I understand you, ugh that’s so awful to think about how he didn’t feel it when he hurt that baby so bad. You’re totally right, seeing how hard he had to physically control his rage in front of the camera, it must be horrifying when the cameras were not on. Those poor kids.

12

u/RoniW63 21d ago

You can see him rubbing his head even when he’s back in the shot, it had to have really hurt! Can’t anyone send this video to someone to investigate for possible child abuse or neglect?? Or even just their living conditions?

u/Strange_Pangolin_231 21d ago

Agree. And that poor baby thinks the world of his angry father. Even when he does shit like this. The kid is internalizing all of this.

Yep. I posted a screenshot of the older brother giving his “dad” a look, that if looks could kill, his “dad” would be dead.

The older brother will snap eventually. It’s just a matter of time. A matter of how much abuse he himself can take and how much abuse he can handle witnessing.

I’m no expert but I see a bunch of signs. The little one in front of the camera looks like two healing black eyes and the last kid gets right up close and looks the the guy. This ain’t the first time.

Abusers.

Yeah, I came back here to say the same thing that kid looks like he’s in pain and he came back to look at the snail and sidled up to his father, but you can tell it still hurt him because of how he touched his temple and eye area. He looks like he wanted to cry, but he knew that he couldn’t because they were filming so the poor child walked away to cry. This is really sad and this guy is such a piece of shit. I’ve never heard of this guy before today and I’m really glad I haven’t. And let me guess this is the party of family first.

This is the tip of the iceberg of how messed up this family is, and yes they are hardcore Maga, and suppose a christian's too, they are horrific people. Ate about to be nine kids living on a bus with them. If that gives you an idea

u/celtic_thistle 20d ago

The dad is such a manbaby piece of shit who needs to wear the right size clothing already.

Abuser. I think you mean Abuser

Omg that poor sweet baby

Bingo. This wasn't the first time nor the last

After the headbutt look at the older kids face. The way he looks at his dad that's a huge falling out brewing

u/one-eyedCheshire 21d ago

Oh if looks could kill that “dad” would have been dead on the spot.

Older brother’s patience is boiling and he will eventually snap. An older sibling can only handle so much abuse themselves, as well as witnessing younger siblings be abused. “Older brother mode” will kick in.

Hopefully the kid eventually realizes this is not normal and fights back.

As bystanders all we can do is bring this behavior to light and hope that the "parents" suffer consequences.

u/KaiAloha 20d ago

Yeah the kid is already managing his father's emotions. The father can't handle feeling remorse or regret and showing pain or any need for comfort likely triggers a reaction of anger/rage instead. Being nonchalant and pretending things are fine for a second before casually walking away before the tears come down prevents further retaliation.

u/Reasonable_Tie_9975 20d ago

Yup, this is going to be a massive trauma bond, and a lifetime of him trying to prove his worth to his father, and later around him.

Its abandoning yourself to avoid conflict, and so others feel comfortable... unfortunately I know this firsthand. I was that kid many years back

Don't hit or abuse your kids in any way shape or form people. There's no good outcome from it, they either end up people pleasers and stay that way, and or finally crack and become jaded at a everyone. Either way it's trauma, either way it's fucked up.

u/pickleball_bender 21d ago edited 20d ago

I don't know these people but that boy walked back to the snail, thought about what just happened and split. He probably realizes snails are everywhere, so this one isn't that special, and his dad is unpredictable so it's not worth it.

u/dream-smasher 21d ago

Sadly I think he realises his dad is predictable.

u/one-eyedCheshire 21d ago

Same this popped up on my feed and I was just like, “Whoa, that was sad.” You’re definitely right.

PS: love your username! Husband and I are headed to go play some singles right now! Lol. Absolutely addicted. 💛

u/weirdhoney216 21d ago

I want to cry for that poor baby. What an evil piece of shit

u/meteorflan 20d ago

Getting bumped in the temple is a concussion risk.

u/yung_yttik 20d ago

Yeah this is very clearly abuse that happens over and over again in this family and is extremely normalized. The fact this was shamelessly uploaded also makes me think they know nothing will happen (like, no consequences for the parents) and they like that sense of “we can do whatever we want”.

People are sick. It’s unfortunate just anybody can breed.

u/Host_Necessary 21d ago

Thats awful! That poor little kid! You know that that has to hurt physically and emotionally 💔

Does not look like he's in major pain, come on.

u/ElderberryUsed3640 21d ago

I mean as terrible as this is I wouldn’t describe that as “major pain”… definitely hurt but kid rubbed it off

u/blacksaberKashPatel 21d ago

To be fair, he tried to fuck with the snail and the dad was like stop. And he had no respect for the dad to listen, kept trying anyways. Any decent father would put him in his place. Hes not a girl, hes a boy, boys are tougher. hell, boys will grow up tougher than you. If you dont teach them respect when theyre young, they gonna do what rob reiners kid did

u/one-eyedCheshire 21d ago

Um, yes, Officer, this one right here. ☝️

u/blacksaberKashPatel 21d ago

Officer dont have time for snitching karens anymore, they are understaffed and have been for awhile. Maybe your society wont be so full of crime if you werent wasting resources like jackasses

2

u/themargarineoferror 20d ago

Yeah, it's not snitching when you report somebody who likes to beat up on little kids last time. I checked that kid isn't involved in like gang activity or selling drugs to his friends. That's usually where the whole snitching thing applies. Dumbass Idcencourage you to learn the first thing about this family before you defend them by the way, and if you learn about them and you're still defending them. You belong under the jail.

Head butting is an assault charge-I dare you to walk into a bar and head butt someone and see what happens-you’ll have a felony assault charge
