It’s alarming seeing the never-ending hate speech and harassment generated by this guy, Scott Hochstetter, ( D.O.A.). I am just a YouTube viewer (not a creator) in the YT space, so I’m commenting from a consumer point of view. Hochstetter's outright evasion of YouTube's safeguards in spite of being booted once by you guys is concerning, to say the least. You are enabling a vicious cycle of toxicity and fear among viewers and creators. On some level, y’all have to hold a safe environment for everyone, not just one person. Please do something sooner rather than later and forcefully stop D.O.A.’s thumbing his nose at your policies. Prove you ARE a platform that values variety and creativity over division and hate. And please…no short-term fixes; YouTube has to do a better job at upholding basic creator and consumer safety procedures in order to avoid problems like this going forward

DOA violently charged at me for simply video recording in public. He went on to tell lies about me and did a liveatream where he demanded all other channels block me so I could not comment on any other channels. On multiple occasions he put my life in jeopardy by effectively getting swatted and cops showed up to our location with weapons drawn. He should have a lifetime YouTube ban. He's a real danger to all who encounter him. Several people have justly sought and received protective orders against him, so the courts, like myself seem to agree his countless victims.

DOA has been a constant source of division but also fear for many months. He announced he would harass and destroy any small channel who didn’t support him. Well that included me. My channel was harassed by his minions and I lost subs because of him. But others had it worse. He is dangerously egging his followers to go after other creators or even just viewers who he labels bad actors at his whim. Which changes with the blink of an eye. He does nothing but harass LAPD and if he isn’t stopped it’s a matter of time before he causes someone to get hurt.

I went through something very similar with my sisters kids. She continuously had her kids taken from her care and courts were always calling me to take them. There were only 2 kids left the last time I took them. The oldest wasn’t as fortunate as the other two. He was older and unfortunately was already acting out. He stole a purse off of a lady on a dare. He got 3 dollars and some change, a tube of lipstick and I forget the other. He was sentenced to 6 yrs in Jackson prison at age 17. I write this because I know the damage that can be done to the families involved but, mostly for the children that we may not see signs for years later. I don’t mean signs of abuse as much as I mean the symptoms of a child abused. To speak up and find no justice has to impact those kids much more than we will ever know. The last court date my husband asked me to not bring them back from court. My husband was the sweetest most kindest person you would ever meet. He’s helped countless people but, this was different! The one child a 9 yrs old boy was chasing my kids around with an axe. We also found out from police that my sister had paid someone to harm me. She’s broke but, somehow musters up 100.00 all my life was worth. These are why he asked me to not bring them home. He’s not an uncaring man. In fact I didn’t know at the time but, when he suddenly passed away I found that he had paid for a whole vacation for the two of us which was suppose to be a surprise. I had found out by going through receipts and paperwork that he got all the money back so we could afford to take these kids this last time. The oldest boy who went to prison is doing what I would call ok considering but, took him a very long time to be just ok. The second child a boy, is mentally challenged but, never knew what his diagnosis was but, I know he would have been a lot better had he had a mother protecting them from all this abuse. He’s 600#s and diabetic with a host of other diagnosis's. The little girl who was only 9 months the last time I took her is all grown up and has had multiple sexual partners resulting in the birth of 2 boys. Now the professionals say she was never abused sexually but, the lifestyle she grew up in has resulted in her oldest being taken away because the 6 wk old baby had so many fractures there’s no way it was a medical condition according to professionals so she will never see her kids again. Best of luck and I’ll be praying daily for this child that God makes away for her to have life that’s protected and nourished. I have been left with a lifetime of regret for not taking them back home that day. The courts just said well we do not have any placement for them so they will have to go back to their mom. Courts said only if her husband was not allowed contact or in the home. I’m not sure she followed through or the courts even because on my impromptu visits I caught him there. I reported it but, do not feel they took serious steps. I fear if this young girl does not see justice or even still exposed to them is going to end up in a bad lifestyle or worse committed suicide. This must be seriously investigated and steps to ensure this child’s safety. When I saw this I felt I had to do more than just sign which is why I’m writing this. I’m not sure how Nessel or anyone professionally involved can live with themselves knowing they could have helped. My late husband and myself did everything g we could for these kids. I live with a lifetime of regret that I could have done more. I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to take some time to write this in hopes that it shows what happens to children when we ignore their cries. I will be addressing Nessel on this as well! Sincerely with a broken heart, Michelle Nicholai I

Going through a situation with my own child in Michigan where cps and the police are failing to protect my daughter also. Some new laws need to be implemented in Michigan and fast, the current ones are failing our children
Cheyenne supported: WE BELIEVE HER: Justice for an Innocent Child
Our children need protection and after hearing this story on Charlie Ward and being that I live in Michigan and endured Wayne County Family courts being corrupt, I am compelled to do what I can to assist. I am no stranger to how awful custody battles can be and seeing my step daughters taken from their father due to false allegations, you may think that I would side with the father in this case. However, the evidence is there to corroborate the child's statement and knowing that our Judicial system from the police departments to the AG are corrupt I am in support of bringing this to the forefront for awareness and help in getting the custody removed from the father.

My 6 year old was murdered in August, and every level there to save him failed! CPS, FOC, Isabella County Sheriffs, and Judge Eric Janes!
