A Madden Twitch streamer deleted all of his social media accounts after a disturbing clip, which showed him screaming in a child’s face, went viral online.
On January 21, the streamer’s clip – which has since been identified as ‘buckkerz’ – appeared online and quickly spread across the Internet.
The short 28-second clip begins with the streamer playing Madden while a child sits on his lap. Within moments, he is seen hitting his controller on his desk and shouting.
“Damn it!” he screams, which seems to bother the child. “Three hundred dollar controller!”

At that point, the child starts to cry, causing Buckkerz to put him on the floor. “Can I press pause ?! he asks, referring to his defective controller.
“Sit right here,” he says to the child. “I have to go. I’m about to go crazy.”
It is not clear who he was talking to on the other end of the phone, but right after that, the video gets worse when the boy cries loudly.
The streamer changed their video titles to “imsorry”.
The clip ends with buckkerz turning around and shouting, “Shut up,” right in the boy’s face.
As soon as the video started to spread, screengrabs appeared online from buckkerz renaming their Twitch videos to “imsorry1234556”.
According to the images on the now deleted Twitch account, the streamer is a “father and husband”, but it is unclear whether the child in the video is his.
Some claim that this is the person seen screaming at the baby in the video. He apparently disabled all social networks. pic.twitter.com/cPasqRCmwG

In addition to deleting Twitch, it appears that the user has cleared his Twitter and Facebook accounts as well.
It will be interesting to see how Twitch handles the clip, and whether they implement a ban on the account, even if it has already been deleted.
Users also gave credit to the Twitter account ‘KBoomhauer’ for drawing attention to the clip. It was originally posted with the caption “Zoomer parenting” and has since been reloaded on many other sites.
In any case, parents or streamers with young children should know better than to literally yell at them over a video game controller.
