YouTube dad slammed over sick laxative prank on his own children
A father who regularly uploads videos of himself playing pranks on his children has been slammed after he put laxatives in ice cream and fed it to his kids.
US dad Cordero James Brady has more than 5.6 million subscribers on his YouTube channel CJ So Cool.
He recently uploaded a video of himself preparing ice cream for three kids without telling them he put laxatives in it.
One of them, a little boy, is later seen crying.
“What’s wrong with your stomach?” the dad asks.
“My stomach hurts,” the boy cries.
“You’d better go to the bathroom,” the dad replies as the little boy walks off holding his stomach.
The video has since been permanently removed. It was reported Brady had been banned from YouTube but his channel still appears to be active.
Dr Kortney Peagram, founder of anti-child abuse organisation Bulldog Solution, described Brady’s video as “child abuse” and told lifestyle news site Babe.net it was “really disturbing”.
She added he’s also teaching his children it’s OK to harm each other for a cheap laugh.
The father has a number of videos of pranks he’s played over the years.
In October 2016 he uploaded a video where he fooled his partner, Royalty Johnson, into believing their children had been kidnapped. She was seen screaming hysterically believing the kids had been abducted.
Last year he made also made Ms Johnson believe one of their children had drowned in a swimming pool.
She runs out to the swimming pool to pull the little girl out.
“It’s a prank, sucker!” Brady tells her.
In a statement YouTube labelled content that endangered minors as “unacceptable” and said it removed content “that violates policies” as soon as it’s made aware.
