As YouTube cracks down on peaceful channels, censors alternative media, allows child exploitation videos to flourish, and a coalition of 23 child advocacy groups come forward with damning claims citing multiple violations of child protection laws, Google’s behemoth video platform is allowing convicted child abusers to continue posting “exploitation” videos of their own children on the platform.

A couple in Fredrick, Maryland lost custody of two of their children last year after a police investigation revealed they were emotionally and physically abusing their children and posting videos of the abuse to their YouTube channel. After being convicted of child neglect last year — for the videos they uploaded to YouTube — not only was their channel not deleted, but the family is back at it, posting videos of their remaining children in the same fashion.

As WUSA9 reports, the existence of the channels FamilyOFive Gaming and FamilyOFive hosted by convicted child neglecters Michael and Heather Martin is attracting new attention online. It has sparked such an outrage that one discussion thread on Reddit had to be shut down.

While YouTube censors videos of US war crimes, guns, and other videos that peacefully question the establishment narrative, the channel of the convicted child abusers continues to flourish, uploading videos of “pranks” and exploits of the Martins and their remaining three children.

One would think that after losing two of their children for abuse, of which was documented on YouTube, the family would discontinue such practices. However, one would be wrong. What’s more, one would think that after a particular channel’s videos were so horrific that they led to a couple being charged and convicted of child neglect that YouTube would delete it. Again, however, one would be wrong.

In 2017, Michael and Heather Martin received probation in Frederick County, Md. for misdemeanor child neglect after admitting the state had enough evidence to convict them, according to WUSA9.

While there are certainly free speech issues at hand in this case, the fact that YouTube is allowing a couple, who is currently on probation until 2022 for crimes they committed and documented on YouTube’s platform, to continue to post the same type videos is shocking and a kick in the teeth to the channel owners who’ve been censored and deleted for peaceful anti-establishment content.

Canadian video blogger Amanda the Jedi uploaded her opinion on the matter and held back no punches.

“A lot of the same things are happening,” Amanda the Jedi said. “There is still footage of kids freaking out because they are being harassed. Pranks which are more directed toward the adults which is probably the smart way to go. But it’s still just very exploitative.”
