It&#8217;s not too hard to set your children up with this kind of joke since they are so trusting and naive.  Something tells me this kid isn&#8217;t going to fall for too many more, the way he sat there silently crying you just know he was storing up resentment and bitterness toward his family. Good going, parents you just created the perfect environment for your future teenager to block you out and ignore your advice and guidance.  Why trust these people who violated your trust when you were a child?  I certainly wouldn&#8217;t believe anything they said after they lied to me and filmed it for their own amusement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you guys seen this video of the worst parents in the word teasing their son about thinking he got an Xbox and then opening it up to discover clothes and then laughing at him as he sat there crying?
