Move Over Mommie Dearest; Meet the World’s Newest Worst Mother [Video]
I often wonder why some people choose to become parents when they so clearly hate kids, including their own.
Take Jonathan’s mom. Jonathan’s family videotaped him opening a Christmas gift — an Xbox 360 — that turned out to be filled with clothes instead of the highly coveted gaming system.
Before he realizes what’s inside he’s visibly thrilled. Then he realizes what’s inside and is crushed, while everyone in the room breaks into laughter. His mom can be heard telling him obnoxiously that he needed winter clothes. That may well be true, but why fool him into thinking he’s getting an Xbox?
To make matters worse? A voice off camera is heard saying, “Jonathan, we can’t afford an Xbox 360…so look at the camera and cry.” Judging by the expression on Jonathan’s face, it appears he didn’t need much prompting.
Who does that to a kid? What kind of mother does that to her own kid? Watch this video and see for yourself:

Move Over Mommie Dearest; Meet the World’s Newest Worst Mother [Video] | Parenting News commented on Jun 26 11 at 1:29 amJaime commented on Jun 25 11 at 9:47 pmHow cruel! It’s not the fact she couldn’t get it that’s cruel, but how could you get your kids hopes up and stab him in the face by raging his hopes and on video at that!!
Sharyn commented on Jun 25 11 at 9:59 pmSomebody who plans on making a million by posting this cruel, humiliating video on YouTube.
michele commented on Jun 25 11 at 10:30 pmCall Child Protective Services. They can afford a video camera. This is heartless, cruel, and totally offensive. Someone please find that child. We wonder why there are adults in this world who can commit senseless crimes. They’ve been brought up that way. It’s not their fault.
Kelly commented on Jun 25 11 at 11:19 pmpoor kid. that is not funny. so many things wrong with this:the prank itself, it was done on christmas, his young age, how they keep laughing even though he’s not taking it well and they put it on youtube for all the world to see.
goddess commented on Jun 26 11 at 12:37 amThis video always broke my heart. Poor kid. Life CAN suck- but it really sucks when your parents make sure it does form the get-go.
Mistress_Scorpio commented on Jun 26 11 at 1:19 pmI sincerely hope this video isn’t real.
Larissa commented on Jun 26 11 at 1:58 pmI’m not going to watch that video because I don’t want that kid’s parents to get any benefit from youtube’s pay per view ad system. Posting it and encouraging people to watch is just supporting them. ugh.
Heather commented on Jun 26 11 at 4:58 pmI wish I knew where this family was at. This little boy would have a 360 in his hands…and his mother would have a fat lip and black eye! I’m not typically a violent person, but just reading this made me want to cry. No way could I watch the video. I do everything that I can to make sure my children DON’T feel this way, and she did it on purpose? Sick!
Linda t.o.o. commented on Jun 26 11 at 4:59 pmJust based on the description, I know I couldn’t stomach this… :(
Kit Bennett (@KidsParties123) commented on Jun 26 11 at 10:16 pmAgreed … I can’t even watch this. Just reading about it broke my heart. It just makes me sick that adults ( u use the term reluctantly) could intentionally fool and hurt a child like that.
naja commented on Jun 26 11 at 10:31 pmhe needs new parents. who in the hell would say they can’t get a present when they know he wants and just pranks him and not think he wouldn’t believe maybe a mircale can happen and get laughed by three fat idiots god give me his address i’ll take care of the kid myself. and he is such a beautiful kid he doesn’t deserve it also
bob commented on Jun 27 11 at 9:31 amHopefully he’s recovered somewhat during the six years since this video started circulating.
Gretchen Powers commented on Jun 27 11 at 10:50 amBitch can afford plenty of food, apparently, too. This is infuriating. I’d say, like Naja, hell, I’d get him the X-Box, too, but that is probably just what his bitch of a mother is going for.
Rosana commented on Jun 27 11 at 1:42 pmWow!!! I cannot answer your question. I am not sure why some people choose to be parents.
Ashley commented on Jun 27 11 at 3:48 pmYou know, I’m sure some people might find this to be just a harmless prank, but when you see it from that kid’s perspective, it’s mean and uncalled for. I think the kid should get some revenge come Mothers Day; he should give her a big Tiffany’s box filled with cleaning supplies.
Gretchen Powers commented on Jun 27 11 at 3:56 pmor filled with a big turd
Shandeigh commented on Jun 27 11 at 4:21 pmThat’s just mean. (I’m not watching the video cuz i don’t want them to have the satifaction) It would be an “ok” prank if the actual xbox was in another package… but to get the poor little guy all excited and then jeer and verbally abuse him is just cruel.
Tonya commented on Jun 28 11 at 9:55 amBabble should remove this video and stop promoting it! So cruel!
JC commented on Jun 28 11 at 10:17 amThe editors are idiots. In 30 seconds of fact checking here is what I found: The boy got his Xbox. Despite being told not to, he was caught peeking at his gifts earlier and knew he was getting the Xbox. Maybe not the best disciplinary tactic, but also not worth all the negativity directed at the mother. Who hasn’t taken a toy from a child, and when s/he gets upset, said s/he can have it back just as soon as s/he does x (x = whatever the parent wants child to do).
Sanriobaby =^.^= commented on Jun 28 11 at 10:24 amIt was reported on another site that the family claimed that the child was caught sneeking an early peek at his Christmas presents and they pulled this prank on him to teach him a lesson but that in the end, the child eventually got the Xbox, but it was later reported that the family borrowed the Xbox packaging from someone and that they NEVER intended to give him an Xbox in the first place. It was also said that the family later admitted he never recieved the Xbox. It’s one thing to pull a prank like this, but in the end, give them the real gift, and it’s an entirely different thing to never give the child the desired gift and then further humiliate them by laughing at them and urging them to cry for the camera. What this family did was so cruel and abusive to his spirit, there is no way this child will ever forget that moment, and it those very kind of moments that affect who he will eventually grow up to be. I can’t imagine how that mother lives with herself knowing she mentally and emotionally abused her child for the sake of family entertainment. She’s an immature, disgusting excuse for a parent and I for one believe someone should out her to the public so she can face the same type of humiliation and embarrasment she made her poor child go through.
Desiree commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:40 pmA Christmas he will never forget….for all the wrong reasons. How humiliating. Don’t be surprised if this child grows up resenting his parents and all the family that was there. Just awful.
Emily commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:40 pmWhat an EVIL person.
HEC commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:45 pmThings like this make me so upset. I wish people that didn’t want kids..just did not have them. If they do however end up having children, please give them to a loving home and family who does want them instead of just making them live a miserable life of ridicule and hate.
Wish I could meet that mother and say a few choice words to her.
Mellie commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:45 pmFirst you excite him, then humiliate him, then walk away and abandon him in his sadness? I know lots of women who would gladly take your child and love him, encourage him, and treat him with respect if you just blatantly refuse to be a mother. So disgusting! This continues my theory that people should have to prove their ability to care and love before they conceive and raise hopeless children who in return become hopeless adults. :(
crystal scott commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:48 pmReally if this mother is doing this what else is she doing that isn’t being posted on YOU TUBE! The whole family is a bunch of jerks! They really don’t deserve this child. I couldn’t imagine seeing this in real life.
Teenah commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:50 pmI thought it was a joke @ first but looking @ his expression b4 I hit play makes me wanna cry…I can’t do dat to my nieces & nephews…I don’t have kids yet but how could U be so heartless. :( Where did Dey find da box to put da clothes in? & on top of dat any Adults know kids his age all over wants an Xbox or a PS. …all bad…I wish Dey would record themselves looking like DUMBASSES for recording his hopes…Babay! But Dey could afford a recording camera ;{
Beth commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:51 pmThat is down right rotten. That will teach him to never hope for anything or trust his family. I want to cry for him!
Sunny commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:53 pmI can’t even watch this. Just reading the story breaks my heart! No child deserves that from their family! I can’t afford an xbox myself, but I wish I could for this little boy’s sake! That is such a cruel mother!
Chrissy commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:55 pmI’ve never commented on an article before….but this story saddens me so much. If I had his address I would send him an Xbox (and I can’t afford it either)!
Jennifer commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:56 pmWHO does that!? Thats just absolutely horrible! That poor boy will never hold any kind of trust with his family and they have themselves to blame..
Symantha commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:57 pmWhat kind of parent does this??? Was it worth it to scar your child for life for personal entertainment. I completely agree with ~Sanriobaby~ that the mother and any other offending adult that help in this “prank” should be called out in public to face humiliation. Find me a child anywhere in the world who has not taken a sneak peak at gifts (Christmas or Birthday) to find out what they are getting at one time or another. Parents who are abusive and cruel should not have children. I am appalled at this family for the way in which they taunted this boy and laughted. Who does this. When he grows up he will always remember this and he will either think that it’s funny and do the same thing to his children or he will be the man who says “I will never do this to my children.” Lets hope he is the better person because of this sad and wrong situation. Be strong young man it may not be what you wanted in life but when you become an adult you can get yourself what ever you want for Christmas and not have to answer to anyone or justify why you do what you do.
Kim commented on Jun 28 11 at 2:59 pmWell her fat butt certainly hasn’t missed a meal! So she has enough money for food to stuff her mouth full. Apparently she’s also full of meaness and hatred for this poor child. Bless his heart!!!! She and everyone laughing at him should be ashamed of themselves. It’s Christmas – you don’t dash a child’s hopes at Christmas!!!!
KBeach commented on Jun 28 11 at 3:00 pmThis video made me cry. The sadness in his heart was written all over his face. This CRUEL. These people should have CPS visit his parents for an equally “CRUEL” punishment. So so so so sad. :(
Nicole commented on Jun 28 11 at 3:04 pmI am so appalled how could any parent do that to a child and then just keep rubbing it in seeing he was so distraught that whole family needs a reality check. That poor boy his heart must have sank when he realized his dreSm slipped away and they just keep harping on him ahhhh I swear they r lucky I don’t know where they r cause I would go there with balloons and a big fat fake check saying they won some kind of sweepstakes and then watch them get so excited and celebrate I would even probe them to tell off their boss and quit jobs then tell them it was fake do thru could feel what he felt X like 10.
bpa commented on Jun 28 11 at 3:06 pmThat was incredible to watch! How cruel! That is abusive behavior. What a mean lady. How can someone do that, let alone to their own child? Did you see the look on that boy’s face? The way he looked at his mom as she made fun of him? Poor boy! Poor, poor boy. I would love to get him an Xbox, but I’m sure his “mom” would pawn or sell it and wouldn’t let him play with it.
MARY commented on Jun 28 11 at 3:06 pmFrom Earlier Comments I saw about they were trying to teach him a lesson I understand that part but I think they went a little too far with the laughing they should have told him what he did wrong and taught him a lesson instead of making him cry and laughing about it that is so mean.
Jodi Black commented on Jun 28 11 at 3:51 pmHow mean is that?? I wish I could afford to send that poor little guy an XBOX 360 but I have a feeling his mother would probably sell it for crack.
adriana commented on Jun 28 11 at 4:08 pm:( I’m crying. Just the look on his face..It isn’t about the Xbox. They humiliated him. You can see the sadness in his face. Shame on his mother!
Kim commented on Jun 28 11 at 4:10 pmTerrible. Kids remember this stuff.
Susie commented on Jun 28 11 at 4:19 pmThe adults in this child’s life just plain suck and they do not deserve to have the sweet child with them/
Amanda commented on Jun 28 11 at 4:40 pmI am pretty sure the kid will get over it. Calling CPS? Really? CPS doesn’t help kids or family or anybody, they are intrusive and lazy. Especially call CPS over a prank? geeze. It is cruel, but I am pretty sure he will get over it in time. If he was being taught a lesson, then that’s probably what I would do, maybe not laugh for so long, but kids these days feel over entitled to “stuff”. It’s an xbox 360 and its expensive, I never got things like that when I was a kid, and didn’t ask either, not because we were poor or anything but because “stuff” isn’t what is important.
just me commented on Jun 28 11 at 4:42 pmThat’s horrible! Look at the camera and cry, wtf!
Jill commented on Jun 28 11 at 5:46 pmthis is just terrible. that poor little boy had his hopes lifted so high and then they were smashed by the ones who are supposed to nurture and support him. They are LOSERS!!! Dont worry Jonathan they will get what they deserve just keep believing.
Dottie commented on Jun 28 11 at 6:05 pmHere’s an Idea mom can try a diet and both parents can give up their booze, drugs and smokes for a few years. Maybe they should put their child before themselves for once and not be such cruel A$$ wholes.
nicollette commented on Jun 28 11 at 6:33 pmthat was so sad. poor kid I would never do that to my kids. How messed up….
Deborah commented on Jun 28 11 at 6:54 pmIt’s amazing how difficult it is for adults to remember the “Golden Rule” we expect all young children to follow…Treat others the way you’d want to be treated. It’s simple. Anything short of that is wrong and sad!!!
Nicole commented on Jun 28 11 at 9:07 pmDISGUSTING!!!! I hope this kid has an amazing life, grows up to be really happy and successful and his mother rots in misery! Until then a turd in a box every mothers day for sure!! Sooo frickn sad
Heather commented on Jun 28 11 at 9:39 pmI can tell you right now I’d never “get over it.” It is a breach of trust to play such a cruel trick on a child. Parents are supposed to protect children. I hope that he grows up to be a successful, happy person who “repays” his family in kind.
Stephanie Hunt Walsh commented on Jun 28 11 at 10:38 pmWe want a child so badily. We have broken our hearts trying to create a family. When I hear stories of people who hurt children emotionally, physicallly etc, I just cannot understand it…
Bianca commented on Jun 28 11 at 10:49 pmThis video breaks my heart.
Celina commented on Jun 29 11 at 11:45 amWOW! That is the most saddest thing I have ever seen… This poor little boy. I feel so bad for him and am truly disappointed that his parents and family are laughing at him. What a messed up way to ruin a holiday for a child! It makes me wonder what the effects of this will be for this child…
Azura commented on Jun 29 11 at 10:02 pmI admit, I have gotten pretty creative with boxes, but mainly because i was too cheap to go out and buy boxes. I had the kids convinced they got a box of tuna helper (it was really the Webkins she wanted) and even used a cat litter box one year for a box, The kids would get mad at first but after awhile it became a family joke! They ever wrapped their dad’s gift in a tampon box last year! However I would never do something this mean! I feel bad for the kid and hope someday he gets his Xbox and all the games he wants to go with it!
Dawn commented on Jun 29 11 at 10:05 pmThis video enrages me…How DARE a parent do that to a child…..Someone please report those parents…That is the saddest thing i have ever witnessed watching and that is going to scar that poor boy the rest of his life…How about someone gives her the keys to a brand new car, only take the engine out of it….I would love to vidoe tape that! HOW ROTTEN! Completely rotten humans who don’t deserve to be parents….Sad….
Girt commented on Jun 30 11 at 12:58 amThat FAT BITCH should be shot for what she did to that little boy. At such a young age that could scar him the rest of his life and he may never want anything to do with Christmas again. Cruel Heartless is that woman. Would serve her right if that kid has a mental brake and kills her at age 15. Baaa Hunbug !
Lori commented on Jun 30 11 at 9:49 amWhat is truly sad here is that she was probably raised to think this sort of thing is funny and eventually he will come to enjoy this type of humor and inflict it on his future family. So the cycle continues on and on…………..
Nikki commented on Jul 04 11 at 11:20 pmMy heart is broken. How could they think that’s funny?
