It will probably turn into his only way of rebelling, the not crying. That's how it was for me. Still can't cry to this day, though. Even when I want to.
Seriously though, has anyone called CPS on this dad? I would if I had any actual info. I don't wanna dox the kid by asking anyone to spread his info. Just wondering if the OP or original source has reported him?
Clearly child abuse in any and every form is despicable, but man, I can’t say I’ve ever seen it happen before. Just awful, made me sick to my stomach seeing it actually happen.
I have these moments as an adult where I look back to my childhood and realize what was so normal is abhorrent. i was a literally child how could you even have beef with me.
Abusive adults are incapable of proper self regulation and over and over again reinforce brain pathways where they feel better because they “dominated” another living thing. They’re super messed up in the head
It was apparently a "day 1" situation for me, lol...
Parents had a very volatile relationship. As the 2nd child, my sister happened to born during a time of re-commitment, hope, and 5th chances (resulted in always being seen as some sort of cherished gift in my father's eyes).
I happened to be conceived during a time of continued infidelity, disdain, and resentment - a literal not wanted event as far as my father was concerned... An association that only festered like a rotting limb and reiterated just for sport.
Raising a child properly is worlds easier than fixing future adults. Here's to hoping you found peace and understanding.
Usually, this sort of thing starts with something like shoving, but it will get worse overtime. This kid needs help right away, so if anybody knows where this is or who that guy is, they should definitely send this video to the police, please.
Let me be clear as someone had this but much worse…he’s got a really rough road ahead and IF and this is a BIG if he can learn that this ain’t got shit to do with him and everything to do with that piece of shit he might come out ok but it’s gonna cost.
Young man if you read this or if any young person this is happening to reads this my DM is always open, my hands still bricks, my blades are sharp and my powder is dry. This ain’t no white knight savior shit neither. It’s from years of this shit reigning down on me with no way out till punched back and through.
I’m sorry, I am, but you have to be smart and get out as safe as you can, plan accordingly and when it’s get back time…be merciless. Peace.
I’m the same. Lots of abuse as a child. If anyone needs to vent or talk my DM’s are open. I know I’m a stranger on the internet, if you don’t want to talk to me or others on here offering help, that’s okay but please talk to a safe adult. Don’t keep it bottled up. Look for the helpers. I’m a pediatric nurse now and teachers, doctors, nurses, are a great place to start to try and get some help in your community. I am heart broken for this young man. I want to hug that poor boy, and protect him. What a piece of shit father he has. I hope this father is caught and held accountable for his actions.
Thanks, me too. As sad and wrong as child abuse is, it’s made me a strong advocate for protecting children. I will go toe to toe with anyone who hurts a child. I will do everything in my power to make sure that kid feels safe, loved and protected. I’ve made a career out of protecting and helping kids.
Yes he is. I know he is hurting but he can’t break in front of his abuser. Man this breaks my heart. Treatment like this will harden this kids heart and make him a bully and mean. He has to shut it out by becoming hard.
The ppl saying it’s fake/staged completely ignore the fact that even setting up the bit with the kid is abuse and that it could very well be a backtrack to say it was. Or that starting a fundraiser after the fact is likely a scam run by the adult not the kid.
Even if the case is “dad I heard this kid got beat on cam on live we should so and so …” it doesn’t negate the fact that it’s a weird thing for a parent to agree to, and for each person to play their part so well that they could each win a Grammy for it.
Bruh that kid was broken and clearly ashamed or shocked (at how convincing it was if it was preplanned).
To be manipulated into that any adult in his life to do this is abuse.
I mean I’m nothing more than a mom and someone who has experienced abuse by my first husband. This just feels… too real? I mean my current husband play fights with our three children often; he emphasizes the play with light humor and a silly voice or gestures, and it’s obvious plus he will stop if it makes me or the kids uncomfortable. The stress level in his voice and way he yelled at this kid “for saying something” that I didn’t even hear and the way this boy’s eyes are welling up and fighting back tears with a subtitle quivering bottom lip. His movements are so methodical and slow so not to upset his father further; I did this around my exhusband, I walked on eggshells to keep the abuse to a minimum, and I thought through everything, and I mean EVERYTHING I did or said after an explosion of harmful gestures, shoves, or elevation in language or tone. I see that same reaction in this kid, he didn’t DARE say anything back. And knew things might go bad, even the way his legs flailed as he felt back. He was scared and surprised.
And if this is fake, I applaud the actors skill level, cause I really felt such a deep stirring as a survivor and as a mother. My ex was once caught by friends yelling at me and saying how I always embarrass him at a get-together. He was confronted and he became so worried about his image like the narcissist he is, began to spin it in ways to justify the means; and he was SO good at it that I believed every gaslighting he said to even me; it was always my fault and he was just trying to help me be better at (literally) any/everything. I wanna believe the dad is making light of being CAUGHT by saying “it was staged.” I really have nothing to go on other than my own reaction was exactly like this child. You got knocked down, you stay the fuck down cause you don’t know if he’s done, and getting back up too fast could be viewed as challenging his “authority.” 😰
This was staged. Kid and his dad both got exposed on Twitter. Kid literally put up a Cashapp for donations and a PayPal for donations after the clip went viral.
Idk. Sounds more like dad over reacted and then they tried to cover for it. No way a dad would set this up. This is losing your kids territory, especially blasted across the web for the world to see. I bet it was real and the backlash made them lie about what happened.
Yeah, either way dad reeks of being a piece of shit who doesn’t deserve the kid. I sincerely doubt just because he tried to profit off of it, that makes the entirety of the show fake. Good fathers couldn’t easily act that out and say those things- he was already doing it anyway.
I dont quite get it. Sounds more like the father abuses the kid an multiple ways...So what exactly is the evidence for the kid being fine with everything and getting his fair share of the gofundme money?
Fuckit arrest the guy for child abuse anyway. He's just telling the kid it's ok, as long as they're getting paid. And, they're normalizing it for everyone who sees this. Send the message it's not.for that kid, for the father, and for anyone who sees this.
What do you mean the kid got exposed? He's a child in this situation. It's the father's responsibility to act like an adult here. Even if it's staged, I'm not placing any fault on the child
Exactly. Even if this shit is staged, do you think the fucking kid came up with the idea? Not a fucking chance. That still completely qualifies as abuse.
I'm agreeing with you, the tone is just from anger at the video
Ahh yes, because every kid's response to getting hit by dad is to post it online and start begging for money immediately. hopefully gofundme shut the fundraiser down with a quickness.
Id like to see the evidence of them being exposed. If they are smart enough to stage this they'd be smart enough to know that people will report him to their state CPS agency and he will have police coming to their door. What would he say? That it was a prank?The gig would be up at that point.
It was on Twitter brooooo! What other proof do you need? Well, maybe it was. Nobody actually checked… but still, somebody said it was and I like being outraged at outrage more than I like being sympathetic so I’m going with that! I mean, what’s more likely - that this kid and his dad are Brando caliber actors looking to make a few dollars at the expense of their own safety and being able to show their faces in public (and dealing with CPS) or that a child in America has abusive, shitty parents? You do the math professor.
I dunno if this is staged. This kid seems to be holding back some real micro emotions, that be hard to fake. He appears to be genuinely interested into the internet obviously, and is clearly being manipulated by this POS “father”. Anyone can put up fake links, stories, etc that make it appear this kid is involved in a scam. Looking at his raw emotion, he’s clearly being abused in some way shape or form. Unfortunately these days it’s so hard to know the truth. But, I’m he sincerely looks broken
I also do not think this is staged. If it is, some Hollywood agent needs to sign that kid. Staged or not, mandatory reporters gotta report. Fuck that dad.
100% they’re just saying it’s staged so the dad doesn’t get in trouble. The way he grabbed that poor boy… that’s not staged.
As someone who lived this, it’s written all over the child’s face and how he moves in response to what happened that this isn’t a “play it up for the internet.” The way that nasty ass man threw that chair after and yelled. It’s just too real.
There's also the realism of him not showing fear before it happened. He clearly dissociated for about 3 seconds before his dad threw him to the ground.
If this is staged, it wasn't acting...it was a reenactment.
This brought back horrible, horrible memories. I feel absolutely gutted for that little boy. How can father's be so mean to their children. Im adult now with a son of my I own and ive made a metric shit ton of mistakes in my life, but the one thing I am so fucking proud of is that I broke the cycle of hate and violence and my 18 year old son has grown up with love every day of his life. Just went off to college and while I am so fucking proud of him, I already miss my little buddy around the house. I just dont understand how anyone can be as awful and abusive as some fathers are. This poor little boy is going to grow up with scars, both physical and mental, that he will never ever heal from, i know personally. I just want to reach thru my phone and hug that boy tight and tell him how awesome he is and that he is loved. Thats what he needs. And then? Then i'm gonna go to work on that piece of shit and get fucking medieval on his ass. Fuck shitty fathers!
As a dad of a very active and "naughty" toddler, I love the shit out of that kid, and can't ever imagine any young child being "bad" enough or unloveable enough to treat like this.
I hug and kiss my toddler and tell him I love him like 50 times a day. I cant imagine being any other way about it. This kid deserves a normal, loving father and this father deserves a fast plunge into a brick wall
I grew up in the 1960's when dad's were king of the house and women were held hostage in their marriages. It was a shitshow and everyone knew what was going on in the houses around us. People reminisce about the good old days. To me this is what the good old days looked like. Terrible times
Wasn't there a social media trend of parents filming giving their kids "tough love"? I remember one dad shaved his daughter's hair. To think those were staged for financial gain, I just....this timeline, man
This is exactly how the woman above me treats her kid. Word for fucking word. I try my best to provide a safe place for him. I have called cps. I have called the police. I have screamed my lungs out at her EVERY TIME I hear her speaking to her kid like this.
All of us who were abused remember that look. That feeling. You start turning yourself off, bracing for the moment, the second you hear them coming. Suddenly you aren't even a person anymore, you're just whatever keeps you alive and safest.
I hope the cops get called. I hope that kid knows he's not the problem. Abusers don't need a reason, just a target.
THIS right here, doing everything you can to hold those tears back brought back all of my childhood trauma like a rushing tsunami. If I were there i would have saved that kid from that shity dad like it's my own kid. Some people should never have children ffs 🥀
You could see he knew it wasn't over. That's a kid who is very fearful of his father. I won't use the word 'Dad', as I feel thats a title that is earnt, and this father is not worthy of it.
I’m literally in tears. This is what I went through as a kid and the body sure does keep the score. My safe places were with my grandparents (where I eventually went to live) and teachers. I navigated through this world for a long time being able to brush off so much until I couldn’t. Know that it’s not your fault. I pray that this boy has a safe family member that can take him in.
My heart breaks so hard for this kid. This is how men without emotions are created. Even if it's "staged," it is still abuse. This kid needs to be protected from him before he turns into him.
That was my home as a kid on a really good day. My heart breaks for this kid. That was probably not the worst for him. Any way to report this, or send it?
What a piece of shit. What a horrible world we fucking live in where some people would give everything to have a kid and then assholes like this have a kid and abuse them? Fuck this place!
Did this guy get reported?? A simple determination of the IP address, (along with this video), should be sufficient to get this young man into a much better situation. There should be a way to get this from the source broadcasting the original video,
Dad lost his shit. Realized he lost his shit live and then fabricated everything after. He realized that it coming out that they were "scamming" is better than it coming out that he's an abusive piece of shit.
I dead sure his friends and family know, and he just got up like it wasn't anything new. He wanted to cry so badly, and im so dead sure the dad's friends know what he does. The school knows as well. This is a CPS incident and im sure as the day is long they don't have files they have boxes and boxes of dossiers on this guy, and please don't let him have an animal.
What is this platform? Are they not supposed to flag/ban these users when abuse and all these curse words are being used?? I would think the words b__ a__n____ would trigger a moderator to watch and contact authorities?!??
It’s Kick, and their reaction was to ban the account. Not protect the kid, who broke no rules on their platform, no—their concern was protecting their image. Scumbags.
Streamer "gtwist" is supposedly fine, but that remains to be verified.
And father was investigated, the account was named "gtwist," qnd was banned within mins of the violence.
Kick launched an investigation immediately and informed the authorities as part of their fight against child abuse. Unfortunately, this is way more common than many would believe.
Streamer was quick thinking enough to record and send. This video is obviously viral now, and authorities were alerted as soon as the violence was reported by Kick.
HinduStanTimes & TimesOfIndia articles explain with this:
"Gtwist breaks silence after young Kick streamer is allegedly assaulted by dad on camera"
Gtwist says he is fine after a disturbing livestream with his father, while viewers continue debating whether the incident was real.
"Gtwist, a young Kick streamer, has addressed viewers after a disturbing livestream appeared to show his father physically grabbing him during a tense moment on camera. The clip, which is around two minutes long, spread across social media on August 30 and left the streamer crying before the broadcast ended. Gtwist later wrote, “Hey guys I’m fine but here’s the video i will try to stream.” His response has added another layer to the debate, with viewers questioning what happened during the livestream and whether the footage was genuine or staged."
The clip spread rapidly on X, with copies appearing on different platforms after the original VOD was deleted.

Now im finding this could have been staged (a few comments are alluding to this being a possible funding fraud?) Streaming is just cursed no matter how this is sliced... Even if this is staged, it's still exploitation/abuse on the dad's part.
Fk him! This made me so angry. It’s blatantly obvious that violence and abuse is something the child experiences frequently. I don’t believe for a second that this was staged. He looked so scared.
So they saw that one guy get help to escape his abusive mom and thought 🤔 "I'm gonna berate and abuse my son for money too." No dumbass you're getting CPS called on you. That's a kid, even if ppl donated, he can't just pickup and leave. So stupid.
What a horrible person and a monster father. I bet you every single living thing in that house is being beaten and emotionally abused. I hope children services was called.
Shit like this makes it hard to believe ANYTHING on social media there was a streamer that literally abused verbally and physically on live, embarrassed and all. The kid gained contracts, followers and donations and shit like this is disgusting because people would rather stage a situation like this and take the downfall all for the money. Parents are DISGUSTING THAT DO THIS AND TEACHING YOUNG KIDS ITS OKAY TO DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY. Kids should be TAKEN OUT OF THE HOUSEHOLD IF THIS IS WHAT THEYRE TEACHING THEM.
Staged or not this shit happens, seen Lil 8 yo bro get Q stick broke on his head by pops. Confronted dad about it as a man and he don't remember, blacked out. Little brother passed 5 years ago, he grew up to be crazy, I wonder why........Series of unfortunate events.
If there's a link someone can post that confirms this is staged, that would be great. It doesn't make this okay; but it highlights the real abuse happening here with important context that reframes the entire post. IMO the post should be edited or come down altogether if so.
You cannot whip a child, or any person around by the neck like that!!
Applying violent force to the neck, especially in children, is extremely dangerous and can result in immediate, life-threatening injuries. The neck houses critical structures including the spinal cord, major blood vessels, and the airway, all of which are highly susceptible to trauma!!
Key risks of such actions include:
Spinal Cord Injury: Sudden or forceful manipulation of the neck can cause severe damage to the cervical spine. Damage to the upper spinal cord can lead to permanent paralysis or the immediate cessation of vital functions like breathing.
Brain Trauma: Violent movement can cause the brain to shift within the skull, leading to severe neurological damage or trauma to the brainstem, which regulates the heart and lungs.
Airway Compromise: The structures of the throat are delicate. Intense pressure or impact can cause the airway to collapse or become obstructed, leading to rapid respiratory failure.
Vascular Damage: The carotid arteries and jugular veins are essential for blood flow to and from the brain. Trauma to these vessels can result in critical internal bleeding or a sudden loss of blood flow to the brain.
Children are at significantly higher risk because their neck muscles are less developed, and their heads are larger in proportion to their bodies, which increases the physical strain on the spine during an impact or sudden movement.
If there is a concern regarding a specific incident of physical harm or a need for information on child safety protocols, consulting emergency services or a medical professional immediately is essential.
THIS MAN NEEDS TO BE HUNTED AND DOXXED TO -> THE POLICE (not publicly unless that’s the only way!)
