History

Reputation

Before the channel was closed, the channel had received nearly 300,000 subscribers and 39 million views. The most popular upload, "Mom Teaching Baby Wash Clothes in the Bathroom," received more than 4 million views before removal.^[1]

Criticism

The Susu Family page claimed to make educational videos for parents. These videos tended to feature Nguyet performing a variety of daily tasks, such as making the bed or washing the car. However, these videos also frequently showcased her exposing her underwear and breasts in ways that some believed to be sexualized. Additionally, each video began with a warning that read, "This video is graphic and may disturbing to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised."

On December 16th, 2018, YouTuber PaymoneyWubby posted a video entitled "Creepy Mom Videos Need To Stop." In the video, the YouTuber explores some of the videos, pointing out these criticisms, focusing on the age of the children being breastfed and the frequent exposing of Nguyet's underwear. The video received more than 1.1 million views in two days (shown below). The video was also posted in the /r/videos subreddit, where it received more than 54,000 views (76% upvoted) and 5,500 comments in 24 hours.^[2]

The following day, Redditor HaC3rPr0 posted that the page had been removed. They sited YouTube's expulsion notification, which reads, "This account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, deceptive practices, and misleading content or other Terms of Service violations."^[3] However, another Redditor in the thread noted that the channel's creator has begun posting videos on other YouTube channels.
