ABC: "Our other big story this morning is President Trump's continued attacks on John McCain"

"The seven children on “Fantastic Adventures,” a popular family YouTube channel, appeared gleeful as they did everything from solve puzzles to cast spells. But when they weren’t on camera, Arizona police say their adoptive mother starved them, locked them in closets for up to a week, and forced them to take ice baths.

On March 15, Machelle Hackney, 48, was arrested at her Maricopa home, where she had been operating the Youtube channel “Fantastic Adventures” since 2012. While the nearly 800,000 subscribers tuned into the channel to see Hackney’s adopted children going on innocuous “adventures” and playing games like “cookie capture mission,” what viewers didn’t know was that Hackney was strictly judging their performances. And, according to Arizona authorities, when the children forgot their lines or didn’t meet Hackney’s standards, she would allegedly abuse them."
