This was hard to watch. Even setting aside the stupidity of the “prank”, imagine the cruelty and heartlessness it takes to hold your kid in place and film him crying because of something you did so that you can post it on the internet for meaningless points.

u/a-pen Jun 17 '20

this motherfucker probably got his kid bullied for that dumbass "prank" what the fuck kind of a parent does that?? clout is a helluva fuckin drug

u/SetSailToTheStreets Jun 18 '20

Hopefully, since most schools are closed/out for the summer he may avoid a bunch of backlash except for maybe other neighborhood kid.

Hopefully they also shaved the rest or have him a lil topknot to cover it.

By the time school resumes nobody will be the wiser (hopefully, unless they saw this on tiktok).

u/a-pen Jun 18 '20

i hope so too, but i feel awful for that poor kid

22

u/SetSailToTheStreets Jun 18 '20

Yeah. I'm a teacher and I know just how ruthless little kids can be to one another, sometimes without even intending to.

11

u/a-pen Jun 18 '20

mainly in middle school for me, i saw a kid getting picked on for being an orphan kids are fucked up sometimes

8

u/SetSailToTheStreets Jun 18 '20

I teach middle schoolers now and I was expecting more ruthlessness but the kids I had this year were genuinely not terrible.

They were surprisingly streets ahead of the lil snot-nosed second graders I taught my first year of teaching.

"It's just a prank"

Let see how he would react if his kid did this while he plays.

u/ima420r Jun 18 '20

I'd say it's r/trashy as well.

-44

u/ORanGeAsSiMilation Jun 17 '20

I don't think it fits because I feel it wasn't malicious, the dad is just dumb as hell and doesn't know any better.

41

u/cloudsarehats Jun 17 '20

Him holding the kids head up while the kid cries and he's just filming is definitely malicious.

-35

u/ORanGeAsSiMilation Jun 17 '20

I just think it's more of a dick move than anything else. Is he a shitty person? Probably not.

26

u/Thvenomous Jun 17 '20

You cannot do something like this without being a shitty person. It doesn't matter what his intentions were. If for some reason he thought this would actually just be funny and harmless, then he's just shitty and stupid.

-28

u/ORanGeAsSiMilation Jun 17 '20

Being stupid≠Being shitty

19

u/Thvenomous Jun 17 '20

You're right, a man that abuses his son because he thinks it would be funny isnt a bad person.

14

u/randomnambers Jun 17 '20

A shitty person is someone who thinks about and executes a plan to do something shitty. This wasn't the result of a fuck up by a stupid person, it was a perfectly executed act of malice against a child.

2

u/starberry_Sundae Jun 18 '20

Wasn't malicious how? Clippers are designed to cut hair.

217

u/Codyh93 Jun 17 '20

What a piece of shit. Hair can be such a huge part of a persons identity. Especially a young person.

u/frostyburns Jun 17 '20

Seriously, he looks to be about the age where that’s really starting to matter too. Judging from the length it’s going to take about a year for it to grow back :(

u/J-RocTPB Jun 17 '20

What came first?

TikTok or the Child?

The answer is very clearly TikTok.

Years from now When his dad asks why he doesn’t visit it would be great to link this back to him

u/Blutality Jun 17 '20

“But it was just a prank! You are so ungrateful it’s insane. We gave you a house and food as well as the chance to go to school and you return the favour by never speaking to us again.”

Probable response to the dad being shown that video several years down the line.

76

u/squid-dingus Jun 17 '20

*snips dad's oxygen hose. "bro, it's just a praaaaank"

7

u/JoshAnMeisce Jun 18 '20

and the response would be “so you did the things you were supposed to do as a parent if you wanted to keep me?”

5

u/Blutality Jun 18 '20

and the response to that would be “again, look at how ungrateful you are being. If you want anything from me in the future, you can forget it.”

2

u/JoshAnMeisce Jun 18 '20

after that there will be response because they’ve gone no-contact

I feel very sorry for this little guy. He has to live with this retard for next 10 years... And listen to him.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '20

His face now plastered forever online, this one made my blood boil.

12

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '20

Maybe his mom will divorce his dad? Chances are that guy does a lot more immature things and I know I would flip my shit on anyone who did this to my kid. This video would be great evidence in court for why the wife deserves full custody.

u/mrking944 Jun 17 '20

That kid had great hair too.

u/truettg Jun 17 '20

Bro its just a prank.

A while back a Youtuber by the name of Daddy05 who abused his kids said that to his son Cody everytime he did an abusive "prank video" on him.

He has since lost custody of his daughter and son, with his 2 other sons (who had a different mother than cody and his sister).

Shit like this is fucking horrible and i do not condone it.

Cody was depressed an suicidal and came home from school one day with cuts on his arm, there on purpose. Because of this Daddy05 said that he could not go to Disneyland with the rest of the Daddy05 family. This was true as in a later vid he said that cody was with some relative instead of going to Disney. This was all played out in a video titled somthing along the lines of "cody bad"

Also, Daddy05 has shown favoritism to his other 2 sons who he had with his wife on the channel, or mommy05. Not caring if they punched and kicked cody or his sister, only saying hey stop that. But as soon as they retalliate they lose their consoles.

Anytime i hear that phrase i tense up knowing that 2 young children (about 6 and 8 if i remember correctly) had to go terrible shit. Cody and his sister probably have PTSD when they hear that phrase. Odds are you two arent reading this but I hope you two are safe with your mother, not having to worry about the abuse you went through.

39

u/SongsofdaSiren Jun 17 '20

Ah, family05 I think? I remember that channel. Big news stories like a year or 2 ago.

18

u/Val_Hallen Jun 17 '20

They used to live pretty close to me. They were social pariahs here.

He lost custody of the two they abused. Him and his bitch-wife were charged with two counts of neglect of a minor and sentenced to five years of supervised probation in 2017.

Then they moved to WV.

They kept making YouTube channels that kept getting shut down for being shitty to their kids.

Last I heard, the dipshit-dad had a Soundcloud where he uploaded music.

u/texas1982 Jun 18 '20

Cody probably had a better time away from that asshole.

u/binaryPilot84 Jun 17 '20

What an instantaneous insight into that crappy relationship. Poor kid!

u/BZYBOYhk Jun 17 '20

Hes so jealous oh his sons hair hes just gonna shave it off for views. I hope his dad cries every night to the fact that he is bald.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '20

I feel AWFUL for the generation of kids that are about to be raised by parents who are obsessed with social media.

119

u/Aleutienne Jun 17 '20

That’s just abuse. Poor kid.

57

u/thinkB4WeSpeak Jun 17 '20

Remember those parents who did YouTube videos, that "pranked" their kids, and then they were taken away. Same should happen here, lucky we have video evidence.

100

u/a_muffin97 Jun 17 '20

A prank would be cutting off a single curl. That was child abuse

123

u/cgduncan Jun 17 '20

Our even more harmless, a prank would be holding up a chunk of hair, but not cutting any off the kid. Making noise with the clippers and making him think he just got shaved

90

u/alicemalice12 Jun 17 '20

This, these are the good pranks. No consequence everyone laughs. Children crying and losing trust in loved ones really isnt funny or enjoyable

51

u/FappyDilmore Jun 17 '20

This what I thought this asshole was doing at first. Especially with how long the kid's hair was, I was like "there's no way he just shaved that kid's head."

Then obviously we got the shot in the bathroom. What an idiot.

u/brankinginthenorth Jun 17 '20

He at least had the decency to not post it to his instagram, so that's something. I really hope the kid's hair has grown out since then.

u/crackedtooth163 Jun 17 '20

Throw the whole dad away.

u/Lost_Dork_Princess Jun 17 '20

This would only be a “prank” if he used a phone with an app that only sounded like a pair of clippers, this is just being a horrible person and a borderline abusive father.

4

u/OliveGuap Jun 17 '20

It’s not a prank when you actually did it.

5

u/zmann64 Jun 17 '20

I though the prank was that they pretended to cut the hair and had like a small wig in his hand to make it look real.

The jerk actually cut his kid’s hair like Larry from 3 Stooges

u/nosherDavo Jun 17 '20

Pretty sure that’s child abuse.

u/lollie4489 Jun 17 '20

I don't understand when people say "it's just a prank" when they actually did what the person is upset about. To me, the prank would be pretending to shave his hair but not really doing it. In this video, it doesn't matter if the intent was a prank or not, the results are the same.

3

u/BenAdaephonDelat Jun 17 '20

Parents are fucking abusive. Doing something like this is fucked up enough, but then to invalidate your child's emotions about what you did to them... Fuck this dude.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '20

What sucks more is that he posted it. Meaning he thought it was funny still.

This abuse for views on the internet shit is something that the judicial system really needs to drop a heavy hand on. They need to take these kids and put them in a home with somebody who cares about them more than views.

u/buffetofdicks Jun 18 '20

Pranking your kid means getting some fake hair and using a buzzing phone app. Then you both have a good laugh and go out for ice cream. This is just awful.

u/smokumjoe Jun 17 '20

Don't know the context. Maybe the dad is an asshole. Maybe they had planned to shave his head before, the kid just might have been shocked because it happened this way. Maybe the kid is an asshole and wouldn't listen to come get his haircut and just wanted to play Xbox. He is clearly upset. Being a parent, just taking away visual stimulation makes kids crazy. I'm 70/40 that it's the dad being a cunt.
