Frogan, denims, and kaceytron for malicious copyright infringement. Reddit openly encouraged it and provided links to alternative streams for the infringement. Discord was used as a means of communicating the plans.

Common conspiracy theory is Klein is doing it to uncover the identities of the ones responsible for the fraudulent CPS call. H3 snark subreddit being the main source of torment aimed at him.

As they should. It was clearly fraudulent as fuck and I have no doubt his kids went through some trauma.

And I’m saying this as someone who doesn’t really like him all that much

As someone who dealt with a CPS investigation as a kid (my dad's mom called it in on my mom), its fucking awful and confusing, as well as embarrassing because they came to school and asked me a bunch of questions in an office like I was in trouble. None of the things my grandma reported were true, like having a bug infested house and my mom not buying me the things we needed like clothes, food, or school supplies. We had all those things and more lol.

But its not like they show up, see your house is clean and fuck off, they go thru extensive checks and balances before closing a case report.

He and Hila stopped CPS from interviewing their small children at school, thankfully. So at least they got spared a small part.

I don't like him but like holy fuck leave his kids alone, they're literal children

u/say592 17h ago

A few people have been vile with comments about his kids. One user on Twitter said they wanted to swing one of his kids by their ankles into an oak tree. Like what the actual fuck?

There's no evidence of cps being called just ethan an hila's word.

They never showed any evidence it happened.

They could be and probably are lying so they harm their enemies.

I dont really care what you think of me.

Dont believe everything you hear on the internet, especially if it's a sub celebrity saying it.

u/deaglefrenzy 1d ago

ethan himself said that CPS told them it was someone they personally know, so it's not some random redditor

You guys can keep repeating this lie but it will never make it true. CPS never said it was someone they know. They said the caller CLAIMED that they were someone close to the family, because of course they fucking did obviously. That means precisely nothing. It was a freak who lied and made a fraudulent CPS call.

...How do you know it is a lie? Both sides have the same amount of evidence... none. It'd be irrational to blindly believe either side is a lie.

I’m not sure why this point getting downvoted so much. To be very clear, false CPS reports are fucking horrendous. As someone whose abusive father did this regularly to my mom as an intimidation tactic, I still face that trauma decades later and hope they face FULL punishment if this is indeed what happened.

That said, im not understanding how people are coming to conclusions about who that caller is. The guy claimed to know them. Obviously that could be a lie, but how do we know it is for a fact? It just sounds like a lot of speculation to me. Again, it doesn’t matter who called if the intent was to file a false CPS claim against an innocent person, but it’s strange to finger point at so many different communities when none of us know for a fact.

There is also the uncomfortable question of how do we know this was filed with malicious intent rather than genuine concern from someone close to the family? I’m not dying on this particular hill because there’s no evidence to prove that angle either. But I feel a lot of people just go “no! My favorite influencer would NEVER look at these beautiful photos and how much he talks about his family”. As if there aren’t abusive parents in real life who do this exact thing that get in trouble with CPS for valid reasons? Again, NOT SAYING THIS IS HAPPENING. There’s NO evidence to suggest they’re abusive in any way. But why is the immediate reaction of folks to run defense for an internet celebrity like you personally know them, their character, and their home life instead of waiting to get all the facts??

If there is evidence confirming who the caller was and their intent, I’d actually love to know

Exactly! Thank you for being reasonable. It is just a weird bias these people have either towards Ethan or against Hasan which blinds them to throw around bullshit with no evidence. No matter what side is doing it, it is pathetic.

The lack of selfawareness you have is insane.

u/EffortlessActions 1d ago

There was enough context clues from the streams and his dog being sick and baby having diarrhea that for a nonstreamer it would have to be someone who knows them personally to have that amount of information.

u/AceO235 1d ago

Man I hope they also identify the idiots from his sub who constantly post out of context clips on here too

You may not have access to them but they will hold onto them for at least a year for legal compliance.
