"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
Im telling you ladies I couldn't even watch all of it, I was in tears when he started crying. I wouldn't be surprised if CPS does end up paying him a house call.
The video has been removed and yes 17 is still a minor. His bullshit of he is almost at the age... That Dad is going to jail and let's see if he learns a lesson.
The kid is 17? I've reported abuse of someone who's 17 and CPS was basically like "welp, they're almost an adult, they can get themselves out/endure just a little longer." It was awful. I think it's in part because of a lack of services for transitional-aged youth. I also think it's bullshit. This poor kid.
If I knew the person I'd call the police because that's battery and assault if it's against an adult, so even more so if it's someone who is under-age.

WTF? Our system does not allow for 17-year-olds to be on their own by default; ergo, we are obliged to protectthem.
Yet another example of where we fail children after they are born.

Yes it is. I was pretty much advised to give the kid info on shelters for runaways. Granted, that situation was different from this one (the one in OP), but I now have little faith they'll intervene with older kids.
