What concerns me the most is the silencing power they try and have over others on media. They have long deleted comments they perceive as negative on their channel. They feel attacked when someone may just have a genuine question or concern.
The rabid nature of the Maass family (and their fans) is vile. My parents and I had some neighbours next door when I was a kid. These neighbours for whatever reason didn't like my parents. Eventually someone (we never found out who) called CPS on these neighbours and my parents got the blame. My parents didn't call anyone, but these neighbours began to harrass my parents relentlessly due to their incorrect opinion. My parents had to get a lawyer involved to stop the harrassment. They were terrible people. This is why I'm really angry at A&P using their platform to (in a roundabout way) go after MD. They have a huge following, and with a huge following comes a responsiblity to behave appropriately towards others online, including those who's opinion they disagree with.
They are frustrated that they can't control someone else's content, so they are either making up a CPS story or using a CPS visit to enrage their following, harrass and try and silence someone who doesn't approve of what they are doing with Abbie. This is bigger than MD, they know it and they don't like the fact their little earner is under threat.
A large following, comes with greater scrutiny. People will analyse your videos A&P. There is nothing inherently threatining with people doing that. A&P can and do slip up in their videos. That will be noticed whether they like it or not. If they were truely upset about life on the internet, then they wouldn't continue to live their lives on it.
