A woman tortured her seven adopted children to succeed on YouTube

The brothers who participated in the family comedy series "Fantastic Adventures", which gathered 800,000 subscribers and hundreds of millions of views on YouTube, stir and amaze the joy of living. They cast spells, prepare cookies and make fun and tender competitions.

But because the camera was not filming, the adopted children were starving, locked up for several days in a cupboard with tiled floors, sprayed with pepper spray and hit with belts, brushes and hangers. They were forced to take ice baths. They had to hold their arms over their head from dawn until midnight.

The author of these acts of torture and ill-treatment was his adoptive mother, Machelle Hackney, 48, who runs the chain "Fantastic Adventures", which has more than 250 million hits. The channel debuted in 2012 and features 10 to 15 minute videos of guys participating in various fantastic scenarios, including zombies, superheroes and more. Several new videos appear each month. At the end of the segments, the children look to the camera and ask viewers to like and subscribe.

Hackney was arrested Friday at her home in Maricopa, Arizona, with her two biological children. She has been charged with badual abuse of a child, abuse, illegal imprisonment and neglect of a child. Their adult children, Logan and Ryan Hackney, are being prosecuted for failing to report the facts. The biological daughter of the woman is the one who denounced his mother on March 13th.

The boys were hungry and thirsty. While the police were chatting with one of the boys, he drank three bottles of water in just 20 minutes but did not want to eat the fries the officer had offered him, lest his mother could feel his breath. In addition, they badured that they would not have gone to school for years.

YouTube demonetized the channel as soon as the company learned of the arrest of its creator.
