This was not the first “pranking” video the pair had made targeting their children and posted on their YouTube channel, however the videos have since been removed after the outrage the “INVISIBLE INK PRANK (EPIC FREAKOUT)” video received from viewers.
The pranking parents eventually went on to apologize, posting a video informing their subscribers that the children and the family as a whole are now in counselling.
“This has been the absolute worst week of our lives and we realise we have made some terrible parenting decisions.” Heather Martin said in their most recent upload, a video entitled “DaddyOFive Founders Issue Public Apology”.
Only recently has it been announced that two of the YouTuber’s five children have been removed from their custody and are currently in the care of their biological mother.
The original video that sparked public outcry “INVISIBLE INK PRANK (EPIC FREAKOUT)” has since been removed from YouTube.
