Apologies if there’s already been a thread about this,I couldn’t find one.

So I’m guessing because he hasn’t broken the law they’re not at liberty to do anything but I’m pissed off thar he’s been allowed to groom this child and get away with it.

They’re still posting daily to their channel. I don’t actually watch their videos but I’ve been following this story and it doesn’t seem that they’ve even acknowledged it.

They’re still getting hundreds of thousands of views.

Anyone with half a brain knows that a 33 year old man messaging a 16 year old asking her to go skinny dipping is wrong. And if you think that's ok, and that the 16 year old girl is in any way to blame, then shame on you.

That's not to mention the other girls - I believe there are as many as 7 who have come forward with proof of the messages he sent them. Note that he has not ONCE actually denied sending the messages. Even in his pity party vlog (which he put on his own channel rather than the family one, no doubt so that their "fans" could remain completely oblivious to what he's done) he doesn't actually deny sending the messages. He just cries "woe is me" throughout the whole thing. In response to the original question, yes, their channel should be taken off. He has abused his position and his wife has sat there and let him, knowing full well what he's been up to. The first girl who came forward messaged his wife first to let her know what he'd done and was promptly blocked by her with no questions asked. If someone approached me with messages of that nature sent by my husband, I'd be right in there for more info and he'd be kicked to the kerb.

They care only about how much money they are making or can make through Youtube. They have no morals. Their daughters deserve a normal life away from the cameras, the lies and the fakeness that surrounds their parents behaviour on a daily basis - all in the name of making £££

Conkers18 · 12/09/2018 12:35

Yep. Nothing to see here. Move along. Don’t see what all the fuss is about.

To me the fact that he didn't deny sending the messages in his ridiculous 'woe is me' video speaks volumes.

If someone had accused me of messaging them and I hadn't , I'd be shouting that from the rooftops.

Because he technically hasn't committed a criminal act I'm imagining that youtube won't do anything though.

I do feel very sorry for the children and for Sarah actually.

Jayhova · 12/09/2018 13:07

I don't feel sorry for Sarah at all in this. She has been vile in her responses on Twitter with regards to the girls who have come forward. She commented about the first girl to come forward saying "this girl has mental health issues and is causing us problems" - think she'll find it's her creepy husband who is causing the issues. She refuses to acknowledge what her husband has been up to, all because she is scared to lose money. Any mother worth their salt would have taken those girls away, come off Youtube and tried to build some form of normal life for them. Instead she disabled her own Instagram account, and the family one, but left their 12 year old daughter's open - open where she could read and receive messages and questions about what her stepdad had done. I won't even go into the fact the 12 year old shouldn't have her own account anyway as she's underage but that's another subject...

It's the children I feel sorry for in all this. Their whole lifestyle is built around fakeness - fake responses to constant surprises and trips thrown on them by their parents all for the sake of views on Youtube. Give it 10 years and those girls will be in therapy for sure.

southnownorth · 12/09/2018 13:15

Agree, Sarah is just as bad as him. Using miscarriages as click bait for titles.

She uses her children as cash cows.

Clarabella8 · 12/09/2018 14:45

That’s it running you keep stamping out the fires 🔥 shhhh hush now all , bet the Clammy one loves you , one might say you were his little angel eh 👼 😉 ha!

SeriousAlligator · 12/09/2018 14:46

Syko Sam (murderer) still has his youtube or last time I noted. I doubt youtube will do anything.

AngelsSins · 12/09/2018 14:57

The blokes done nothing wrong! Silly little girls on the internet causing trouble. Grow the hell up

Sounds like an official, patriarchy approved line if ever I heard one. Adult married man = not to blame. 16 year old girls = totally to blame.

You don’t need proof to call girls liars, but you need over whelming proof to call a man a liar it seems.

Conkers18 · 12/09/2018 18:00

It’s women who are defending him though?

The overwhelming majority of men find this behaviour as heinous and abhorrent as anybody else. Chris Ingham is a deviant - he does not represent men.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 12/09/2018 18:06

Never heard of this bloke
He sounds creepy as all fuck.
I very much doubt that the ones who have come forward are all of them
Odds on he has met up with some and fuck only knows what

  • doubt he cared how old they were either >> 16 is YOUNG he likes young girls, so like 13 -18 is probably in his hit range

Dodgy as all fuck
Famous man used fame to contact / try to manipulate too young girls into fucking him
Plus ca change

Blobfishlady · 12/09/2018 18:13

50running I truly hope you are in fact some way involved with this family and protecting this man and that’s why you are saying these things. It’s attitudes like yours that stop girls and young women reporting abuse.

Clarabella8 · 13/09/2018 08:25

I feel so bad for the children , on the surface they seem to have it all .Mounds of gifts day in day out ,treats ,never ending surprises and holidays constantly , but it is all for those elusive views and clicks .Carefully edited and manipulated into one neat package .The kids have zero privacy or down time .It was disturbing BEFORE all this came out about the dad ,but now ,honestly it is like a twisted tale .The parents are so self centred and utterly greed motivated .
It makes me angry that they portray themselves in this perfect amazing family light ,and get their young viewers falling for it ,almost living through them .Fake AF.
YouTube do not seem to be taking action to remove them as the girls he has contacted are all 16+, the youngest only just .All fans of his channel ,idolised them .And obviously he used that to full effect .
How can that be ?
Anyone can make videos and creates a fan base on YouTube, and the rest is history .The late night chats , private messages ,let’s meet up ?
When you think about it ,it’s chilling ,because if you were aware of your daughter watching their vids , even messaging the family , you would have no problem as the videos are all sunshine and unicorns .
YouTube need to get this Channel binned because these 2 braisen bastards upload regardless.They are shameless .Sadly for the Inghams they have now commanded the attention of a different audience, adults who watch them with eyes wide open .Advertisers are dropping them like sacks of shit as soon as they are made aware ,and shops services and businesses do NOT want people vlogging within their premises,so this is encouraging 😉
Makes me sick the way he has used these fans ,and the lack of action from YouTube who could end this in a heartbeat .

Jayhova · 13/09/2018 08:44

They sit and monitor and delete all comments on YouTube and Instagram that question their behaviour in any way - they must be working overtime trying to keep on top of them these days!

The scary thing is that there are so many parents out there who continue to allow their kids to watch this farce family and are still completely oblivious to the reality of it all.

Clarabella8 · 13/09/2018 08:56

They can edit and control comments on insta and YouTube , but not on Twitter , that is why they deactivated Twitter . They have now started sending solicitors letters via email to twitter accounts , desperate to silence people and hush their stories. Honestly they are the lowest form. Momentum is building and word is spreading , more you tubers need to get involved to raise awareness, because the young fans are simply too young to see the full picture and yes many parents unaware themselves .

southnownorth · 13/09/2018 09:23

I have noticed on their Facebook a lot of comments of support come from young adults who appear to have learning difficulties and are unable to judge the situation correctly.

The channel needs removing to protect children and vulnerable young adults who don't know right from wrong.

Their young army of ifam are scary and almost cult like. One even threatened death to one of the victims.

The whole shit show needs ending for the sake of their lovely children and give them chance to live a normal life.

AlwaysFuckingTired · 13/09/2018 09:42

What a creep. His recent upload addressing the situation is shameful. Doesn't deny that he sent the messages but portrays himself as a hard done by victim. His poor children, I just hope nothing untoward has happened to them. The fact the eldest isn't his biologically worries me.

AlwaysFuckingTired · 13/09/2018 09:52

Also surprised this isn't being talked about more. If some of the girls had been a couple of months younger they would be underage and this would have exploded into a complete scandal.

southnownorth · 13/09/2018 09:56

I think unfortunately a lot of people have attitudes like running50 above where just because she is 16 it is ok.

Also a lot of people don't know or care about them.

I think the best thing to do is to try and get the law changed to protect school age children against youtubers.

She was a school girl, fact!!, and that alone is despicable.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 13/09/2018 09:58

Lots of people view all girls past puberty like this TBH - any girl from about 11 / 12 up who says a man has done somethign wrong around sex tends to get called a slag & it's her own fault & it's lies for revenge / fame / money etc.

We've not progressed as a society as much as we like to think.

AlwaysFuckingTired · 13/09/2018 10:15

Yes, YouTube needs to become properly regulated in order to safeguard children. The influence these people have over the kids who watch them is immense.

Clarabella8 · 13/09/2018 11:15

50running50 😳🤢🤮 Jog on ...

Devonishome1 · 15/09/2018 00:24

Such a fake family

southnownorth · 16/09/2018 12:16

They are back on Facebook, and deleting any negative comments virtually instantly.

Scary the amount of young children commenting.

AlwaysFuckingTired · 17/09/2018 20:15

How do they have the time to stay on top of so many comments all day long?

southnownorth · 17/09/2018 20:38

Take it in turns I guess. Don't forget Granny Jane is roped in as well.

What a way to live your life?
