Md. YouTube Couple Gets 5 Years Probation For Prank Videos Involving Their Kids


BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The parents behind a controversial YouTube channel featuring videos of them playing pranks on their children have received five years of probation after entering Alford pleas in a Frederick County court.

Mike and Heather Martin were charged with two counts of neglect of a minor in July, and their plea hearing was held Monday.

When a defendant enters an Alford plea, it means they are acknowledging that there is enough evidence to convict. The plea is not an admission of wrongdoing, however.

Hundreds of videos on the couple’s DaddyOFive YouTube channel showed everything from smashing electronics, to a fake robbery, and other elaborate pranks to terrify their five children. The Martins quickly reached 800,000 followers after launching their channel, DaddyOFive.
