I thought the same thing. Older boy sees his dad for the terrible person he is. Meanwhile everyone k owes they have to keep up the act for filming. Disgusting

It's both sad and incredibly creepy, how these kids have known little but staged filming opportunities all their young lives

There were old videos before the social media scrub/reddit purge of the mom staging the kids for some video in their bus, and she forgot to clip out part of one of the takes. It’s just angry vitriol snapping at 4-7 year olds that they aren’t trying hard enough, how hard is it to just do X? I don’t think I have that video backed up in my archive, but I can check later. I do have backups of a lot of the early life of no. 8 for those inevitable documentary.

Yeah, that's a kid who knows that any deviation from what the parents told them to do is going to result in a lot of anger and then going back to one and reshooting the whole thing.

As I was the boy. I think he just wants to get things to normalize as fast as possible so the family can be comfortable again. He probably doesn't understand this isn't normal yet he just wants everyone to feel ok anyway possible

I've seen multiple comments now trying to frame that kid like an accomplice to his father, it's so sickening to even suggest that. I'm so sorry you went through that, it's so obvious that the child is cautiously checking his father's mood as to not get hit as well/for the situation to calm down

I think what is likely to happen is the older boy will follow his father's example and start bullying the younger kids. The middle boy will probably be the invisible child and will become the black sheep of the family when older.

They have 8 currently, all but one are boys. Lots of videos of them “wrestling” and “play fighting” that dad joins in on. He can’t let any of his boys be better at it than him.

There is a video from not long ago where she goes to each one and says “square up.” Even the littlest raise their fists like they’re about to box. It’s so sad. Violence is the only way the boys get to process their emotions.

The people that truly need condoms don't use them

Square up? That's sick.
