Cleo From Taina Licciardo-Toivola Tells Unreal Story Of Her KIDNAPPING? Laughs About it? MIND BLOWN 

One of the creepiest things was Taina promoting this video by telling her subscribers to get their popcorn ready. Who does that if their daughter is going to talk about an abusive marriage? It should not be click bait.

I 100% believe Tania set up this "arranged" marriage. JJ (the father of Cleopatra's baby) lied about his status (job, family, etc) and wasn't able to provide the $$ he had promised the family. As soon as they realized he had lied....they brought her back home. Tania is CRAZY and I can't watch their videos ....my heart breaks for her children.

Cleopatra it’s ok to have boyfriends, that doesn’t mean you’re not a “good girl”. In case your mum hasn’t told you being SA isn’t your fault. It’s ok to get therapy too, therapy may really help you. Don’t let your mum gaslight you out of therapy.

Some people laugh through trauma… it’s weird but true. I feel for this girl and I don’t think she realises to this day the gravity of the situation she was in

As a nervous laugher, I don't think it's extremely weird that she's laughing. She's probably uncomfortable and by being chipper she can distance herself from the experience. That being said, she should be in therapy, not reciting all these events to the internet just so her mother can get content

I'm so glad you're covering this family, I can't figure this family out. They are so strange and nobody says anything.. When Cleopatra dissapeared and came back with this bazaar story, it was just crazy..

One of the weirdest things I thought was: the moment they picked her up from her rescue flight they called the dad in the car and “pranked” him with telling she wasn’t picked up. THAT IS CRAZY!

I used to admire her family as the kids ate healthy food and stuff but these days all I can see is a 5 year old walking around in a diaper because his mom is obsessed with breastfeeding and being a mom to a baby. And teenaged boys sitting at home, watching after the little siblings with sadness in their eyes. No friends, girls, or hobbies outside of the home, no skills for coping outside of the family life. It's very sad.

I also think it’s extremely strange how her mom told cleo’s siblings that she’s “never coming back.” And they carried on making happy videos while she was gone.

The more she states that my mom had nothing to do with this. It was my own choice. Tells me her mom definitely had something to do with it. So sad. you know she went through some trauma.

Is anyone else suspicious that this girl was growing up and ready to move on so the mom set up this kidnapping to show her how scary the world is and make sure she never leaves? I had never heard of these people before, but that is the vibe I got watching this one video.

This was the most unorganized, confusing story ever. She wasn’t even going in order of how these events happened, she’s just rambling about random things he did.

I used to watch these guys years ago. Being Australian and with a large family I thought it would be nice to follow a like minded family. I WAS WRONG 😳 they freaked me out and I unsubscribed pretty quickly.

Nice to hear you are covering this family, over this past year things have started to become very Weird

I used to like the family, but boy chalk this one up to I was wrong. This family is messed up. The mom told her siblings she was NEVER coming back, that they would never see her again. Every word out of their mouths is a lie. The mom lies about her childrens ages, lied about being vegan, now claims she never said she was despite all the videos and instagram posts claiming otherwise. The houses they lived in did not belong to them. Literally nothing is as this family claims

It sounds to me like her mother trafficked her. If her mother is as over-protective as she sounds, it doesn’t make sense that she would allow her to marry a guy she just met off the internet!

I hope you talk about how Cleopatra claimed the baby dad isn’t actually the father because he “only produces sons” and she had a daughter. Like what? Lol

A little bit of a smile or some nervous laughter is one thing, but having this huge frozen smile and glassy eyes while her mom monitors her every word?!!! Woah!!!

That video is so worrying. This Woman ( who acts more like a child) is talking about such awful things that happened to her and doing so with a huge smile on her face? The things that seem to worry her most is the guys height and age, not the fact he threatened her life, tried to traffic her, held her captive? What???

It’s time Taina is held accountable for the trail of devastation she has caused. Everything may have appeared white and lovely when her kids were little but now she has apathetic young adults with no understanding of the real world and young ones who are years behind in maturity. She teaches them sarcasm and lies to her audiences after reading comments about herself in other forums. She deletes any comments on her videos that aren’t positive. Her attempts to fly under the radar have landed her here. Good. I look forward to your videos and hope that 2 episodes will be enough - I think maybe not though, there’s a lot amiss with this family.

I think you really need to do serious homework on this one Josh and not just react to one video. There’s more there and you need to go carefully. Sure she films her kids and puts them on RU-vid, something I don’t think anybody should do. But the Cleopatra story is not part of that really, and may be the subject of a police investigation, so go carefully

she sounds like she's enjoying talking about it, like she is spilling tea instead of retelling something terrifying. she also has that same look as scientologists when they're defending scientology

This family has always freaked me tf out!! I am so glad you're covering them!

Whether her story is believable or not, the danger of posting a child's life online so that later someone can lure or catfish then into a terrible situation is a real danger. 10 years from now if some rando meets my daughter he won't know her religious background, favorite things, dream guy, hobbies, ...... He will have to stumble around making a fool of himself (and my daughter as well) trying to figure each other out like people have done for centuries. I know guys who are slimy and quick on their feet, but the ability to study someone online really takes it to the next level.

I’m glad you’re finally doing this family. Taina is crazy.

She talks about how she “found him.” Mentions it a few times. So... basically it sounds like she had never met him before: didn’t know his actual age, didn’t realize he was supposedly short, didn’t even know what job he actually had, etc. Obviously there were ulterior motives for meeting a stranger and marrying them right away without even knowing anything about them. From things I’ve read, her family thought the guy was wealthy and wanted him to buy land and a home for her family back in Australia. 200% believe her mother was a driving force behind the entire thing.

I feel bad for her. She seems very detached from the situation it reminded me of my older sister, she married her high school sweetheart “ the perfect man” & we knew him we liked him. But in reality he was an abusive monster that almost k-d my sister because he was so violently attacking her.. I only found out when I moved into her house & saw the abuse first hand & called the cops. But my sister was so used to it like she would come in the room & talk to me privately & say I’m so mad at him for taking “my phone or breaking my necklace “ & I was like um WHAT! After I watched him choke her, & I tried to grab him off her & ended up calling the cops but I told she wasn’t fazed by the abuse it became so normal to her. Thankfully she was able to safely leave that situation she , they are divorced, she was able to heal & move on w/ her life.

One of the most bizzare parts of this family, with not having to watch too many videos, is the almost invisability of the father, Paul. When he is filmed, he is just standing as an outsider looking in.......the older boys ( still children) seem to ursurp him.

Josh - you're missing the point here. This young beautiful girl is a victim and she has been traumatized by her CooCoo for Coconuts Mom and the man she married. Her mom forces her to tell everyone that she is her best friend. Very sad, hopefully, she gets help. The crazy mom who has made a fortune off her kids has made the entire family live in a RV. Looks like they now have a house - that has been painted entirely white ( by the kids )

Her vlogs were kinda cute when they were about handling 4 little babies and a couple bigger kids in Finland, with their white nights and snowy winters. It was very picturesque. Then little by little things started to feel off as we learned more and more about this family. Cleo's story is just the tip of the iceberg, I'm afraid. The kids are completely isolated from the world, have no friends besides each other. They also probably have no control over their lives, the mom decides it all.

The age thing was weird considering her parents have a 20 year age gap. When her dad was 20 her mom was just being born...

Everything about this family screams child exploitation and I believe Cleo’s story is the sad result of being brought up sexualized in front of the camera.

Josh, they put out a statement saying her baby girl was the result of her being drugged and trafficked, Her baby looks exactly like him as he is Filipino. And yes she moved to LA with him.

That girls eyes are so odd. You can see the programming in her face and reactions. And the mom in the background, just fucking creepy. Yes, there is something really really wrong with that family dynamics.

Im so glad you’re finally getting around to covering this family. I loved their cool content & then once they started “traveling Europe” it got really sus.

Ahhh yes so glad you’re finally covering this story it’s so nuts! Family went completely crazy honestly I used to enjoy watching them but it’s so awkward now!

Omg the white shirts family mom - wins. In other words- Josh this mom is everything you hate about family RU-vid bloggers x’s 10 CONTROLLING crazy and cringy.

you should dig into the videos where she's talking about how she plans each childs whole life out even before they are born... in one of the videos one of the little ones gets a little drum set, the other one goes and plays with it and she says "Paul i think we chose the wrong child for the drums" and laughs it off... continues to make what she wants of the child completely ignoring the childs needs and wishes... also in the latest video you can hear "you start barbies at 10" even the fucking toys she has planned out and controling when they are playing with what

Taina is developmentally holding back the kids as well at least the younger ones. In a recent video she had them tell their ages a year younger than they actually are. Her reasoning is that she couldn’t celebrate birthday parties while Cleopatra was missing. As if you don’t age if you don’t have a birthday party that’s just so f’d up. Also in her most recent video she said that her 7 almost 8 year old daughter Nefertiti (who seems to think she’s 6…) is not allowed to play with Barbie dolls until she is 10, for now she is supposed to stick with baby dolls. Her 11 almost 12 year old son isn’t supposed to have scissors… Her 4 and a half year old still wears diapers and is breastfed. All the younger kids from Shakespeare(11 almost 12) down are very small for their age, seem malnourished and underdeveloped. Especially her 5 and a half year old daughter Aphrodite is smaller than her younger brother, has tiny skinny arms and legs and a swollen stomach, very pale skin and frail hair. Just visually she seems in the worst physical condition. When she went shopping with her kids a couple of months ago she bought size 7y/o for the 11 year old and also much smaller sizes for the girls than their actual age is. (I tried to find the video for the girls’s clothing sizes but I couldn’t find it any more)

You’re not going to get the whole story from this video. Most of it is lies to make Taina look innocent. The man involved is a liar as well. He pretends to be a wealthy screenwriter and movie producer on instagram, but I believe him when he says Taina found him. She fell for his grift and told him about her “beautiful daughter who God made for him.” They hide how truly out there their doomsday Christianity beliefs are from their viewers because she knows it would tank her channel. Taina wanted JJJ (Cleo’s husband) to buy her property in California big enough so that all her children and their families could live together according to the prophecy Taina had. The RU-vid channel shrekdut has interviews with JJJ. There is so much more to this story.

The keep confirmation of "my mom did nothing" is just confirming that she did have somthing to do with it.She also looks like she's in and out of dissociation a lot, like when she goes blank and stops talking.

Josh, to be fair, I’d laugh whenever I told someone that my dad passed away. I wasn’t happy about it, it’s just how I handled trauma at the time

I’ve been waiting for you to cover their channel!! Stumbled upon them a few years ago when watching day in the life vlogs. I was shocked when I saw she wakes up at 3 or 4am to start her morning routine. I was also shocked what appeared to be blanket training . Their family is a very interesting enigma

the most disturbing part is that the children are not in school nor are they home schooled. The older son doesn't have a job they basically work for the mother doing all she asks of them. Then there is the Cleopatra's story that is absolutely sickening. She married some sort of abusive man who got her pregnant the story is very confusing as the girl is making all kinds of very serious criminal allegation against this man. Yet there doesn't seem to be any charges.Weird weird weird

I’ve been watching this family for quite a while and when I first watched I was impressed but as time went on I thought ok sumpm stinks here. These kids act brainwashed and like they can’t think for themselves and the white shirts 🤷🏼‍♀️. I’ve even heard the oldest kids say we don’t even want colored clothes 😮. Who knows any kid especially girls that don’t enjoy pretty colors ? The oldest boy that got married struggles with depression and has made comments about staying away from the madness. I’ve wondered for a while why isn’t someone 👀 looking into this !

been waiting for what seems like FOREVER for you to cover this family!!!

hi Josh, thanks for covering this family especially her "marriage" story... there are so many question marks about this family. about Taina.. you hardly see her husband in the vidoes, all her teenage boys are like a toddler in her videos.. they do whatever she tells them do to..

Haven’t watched yet but thanks for covering this!! I used to watch this family years ago and checked in recently and saw this whole this. I was shocked how much mom seemed to be exploited her daughters trauma.

When she disappeared / married nothing was said and 2 weeks later they all left Finland and left her there and moved back to Australia xx

Soooooooo glad you're covering this!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear your prospective!!

The conversation of child exploitation is so important. Glad you covered this family. I hope to see more videos in the future of families with a social media presence that you have not yet discussed.

Josh, should read the description of the original video... craaaazy updates, if this is true, then makes me wonder why we're not hearing about the investigation anywhere... claims being sold and that the father of the baby is who paid to use her, and that there are already other victims... Thanks for covering so many cases. I have a passion for child protection, and regardless of what some people on the internet say, you are one of the few who stays consistent with your goal in all your content. Also, been watching you since before Myka!

The answer to all this lies with the son who had the strength to leave. Who is now dealing with his trauma the best way he knows how. There is always one who makes it out, but not without serious things to deal with. Kudos to him. He is very strong.

Ive always wanted to know what this family's deal is. They are so incredibly bizarre. I've skimmed though their channel, very cultish vibes....

By the way Taina married her husband when she was around 20 and her husband is around the same age gap older as Cleopatra and her ex. So does Cleopatra think her Dad is gross for marrying her much younger Mum?

Oh yay! cant wait to hear what you say about Taini. After following her for a few years I recently had to stop watching the videos because the content she has started to present to nearly 1 million subscribers, just doesn't add up and is confusing, contradictory , boring and the click bate is unfair and infuriating. Taina herself is arrogant, a lier, controlling and narcissistic.

I'm so happy you're doing this! This family, Mother in particular, are completely cooked!

Naming these kids should be considered child abuse. This girl is off her rocker! This was def a setup or a straight lie. I have no idea which one.

The teenage kids mental development is so stunted they are all submissive to the mother ,it's so sickening to watch ,notice they don't interact with other kids and learn those social skills with others

I used to watch this family a few years ago and I’m sure they were all vegans who ate unprocessed foods. I also remember a video where they were showing how they produce next to no waste by not buying packaged foods. Flash forward to their recent video (I only watch because of your story) where they are being cleopatra home from the airport, but stopping on the way home for pizza, kfc and soft drinks… what?

I have watched this family for quite a few years now. Since they lived in Finland although, the story of her kidnapping and everything that followed after it left me with a lot of questions… so I’m very interested to see what you have to say and your point of view.

The ONLY thing you have to understand is her “smiling” is an Anxiety trigger !! She probably still can’t believe this happened to her. It was probably too soon for her to talk about also. I’ve watched this family for awhile and this video really got me. I was to shocked and after watching that video I stopped watching the channel.

Ive seen one of her videos years ago. I was like i couldnt live like that. No meat, no color, no life, no privacy, no time.

The fact that she is smiling and staring into the camera, while also getting validation from her mom? This is so disturbing 😳

Honestly this family is soo weird but I think Cleo's behavior in this video and about this whole situation for me may have something to do with this family not being very fond of mental health care and she is probably just trying to "fake until you make it" her way back to happiness.

When the lived in Finland they really had a all duped! I knew early on about the Dads religion and crazy videos about end times, but I still thought they were ‘normal’ enough. Then they left the borrowed big house in Finland and hit Europe and everything unraveled and the truth revealed. Now we see it was all lies and smoke and mirrors. I worry for those kids.

And by the way, all the remaining 9 children and a supposedly 1 month old baby have been sleeping on the floor in sleeping sacks since they moved back to Australia which is for me the worst thing that mom have done to them

His name is John James Jose. In the updated description of that video you are watching it says that he trafficked her and that her baby girl isn’t his because he can only produce males. The older son Leonardo left and married his Mom’s cousin named Jenna. Her newborn baby was filmed sleeping in stairs on the bare floor. She is also still breast feeding her 5 year old son Omega. We would love an interview with JJJ to get the other side of this story. If I was trafficked and abused I wouldn’t sit in front of a camera laughing whilst I tell my story just for views 🤦‍♀️

Thank u for cobering this!!! I was so creeped out when I saw it I immediately inbox you the link.. On insta I think? I hope people finally see the awful all this is.. I feel so sorry for this kids :/ Edit: Also, I think her laughing it's her way to deal with trauma.. When she feels uncomfortable she laughs, I saw that in other of her videos :/ (i don't give them views btw.. I download them as you taught us hahaha)

Holy shit what was that?? She needs HELP and I don't mean that jokingly. I mean it very seriously!!❤️💔❤️

Had not taina sheltered this girl so much she would not have gone trought that but she is probably happy now cause the chances of her leaving from under her wings now are almost zero

OMGosh! I used to watch this family (forever ago, actually forgot about them) and stopped cuz it started to wig me out. I’m stoked that you’re covering them!!!!! You’re channel is incredible. Keep doin’ you, it’s fantastic 👏

i dont beleive how tania who will cash in on any move the kids make at all from the moment they are born or who can draw out and make a whole video on how to get 10 kids to eat porridge oats just to make content would actually miss out on clicks and money on a whole massive wedding drama.???.i dont beleive a word of it !

I used to watch this family years ago when they first started. I don’t actually get any Christian vibes from them at all. They are sooooo odd but not in a traditional religious way. I’m glad you are finally covering them because they 100% exploit their kids. I had to stop watching because the videos became about literally nothing. I’ve watched so many of your videos and some of the families are crazy but this family really takes the cake!

This is not okay. The way she is looking at the camera is not natural, nor her smile. She can't even talk in the sense that she sounds so shell-shocked. The fact that her mother is there basically forcing her to tell this vague, traumatic experience to the public for "funsies" is disgusting.

Taina is one of the creepiest persons I have ever seen on the internet. The way she speaks is kind of psycho - it gives me chills. Something is really really off with her. What Cleopatra says in this video is SO incoherent, random and weird...it almost seems like she took drugs. It is just unbelievable how so many followers don't notice it.

I wish I could give this video a hundred likes, your reactions are priceless. I can’t WAIT for part two

The first video I watched of this family had all the littlest babies and a morning routine. They were all laying side by side on a carpet. Looked like none of them dared to move. And they didn’t! Just laid there doing NOTHING. Normal babies would have been moving around and checking things out. Cult training called “blanket training”.

And she had the baby way back in February - Taina is deliberately muddying the timeline to try to save her a$$

I was waiting for you to cover this! Creepy familly

Thank you for talking about this, this story is insane

Did you do anymore videos on this? I looked but im bad at searching i miss everything. I literally just found this video a year later lol.

Cleopatras father is called Paul originally from UK, and his surname was Smith until adopted by cult leader in Australia called Marie Liccardo. Hes partially sighted, registered blind. Does nothing with family. Jerusalem has taken responsibility instead. Older children have a designated younger child that they are bringing up! Taina blanket trained them as babies too! She's a complete narcissist. Please interview Jon (John) Jorge Jose. Father of Cleopatras baby girl. Cleopatra says hes not the father, but unnamed baby is his double! Loved your video!😁

I had watched one of their videos, probably 18 months ago when it came up as a recommendation on my RU-vid page. One was enough thank you. Their names to start with made me think the mother was out to lunch. Is it possible they’ve made this story up to cover the fact that the daughter got pregnant (who knows by which guy?) so they purposely kept her pregnancy out of the videos until they could think up a story? It’s definitely created drama and lots of new views for them. It doesn’t make one bit of sense that some guy did all this to her and they’ve never reported him. I’m feeling more like a view-counter story than a true one.

Her best friend Mum believed she was dead after only a few months with no contact and told her younger siblings they would never see her again........so they could move on with their lives (Taina's words). This is in the video.

I feel like she is so traumatized and brain washed from this experience and her family that she thinks it's okay.

This girl was so clickbaited with this story ,and what i find most unsettling is ,she`d never been out on her own (don`t think she`d dated) ,before ,so ,WHY would you entrust your innocent daughter with a stranger.Answer ,all for content.Oh ,the names ,i was waiting for your reaction Josh:):)

You have to show ID to get a marriage license.... You wouldn’t look? The guy looks super creepy and there are a few bizarre videos online about him/ this (I looked last night). This is seriously the oddest story you have covered yet and there is such a lack of info out there. For how close the family is, I don’t understand if she ran off? Her affect is very odd in this video....

Another one of their videos, the mom was explaining to Cleopatra that when she was gone. She told the little ones she was dead. Cuz she didn't know what else to tell them. Are you fricking kidding me.

Thank you for looking into this! I think they only moved around alot because they're running from something. Really hoping there will be a welfare check on the children

This looks like stockholm syndrome, I can’t imagine how much her mother has sheltered her to the point she seems intellectually not her age, and I don’t mean that in a cruel way. She keeps looking off camera to her mother. It’s so culty…incredibly creepy

This is quite possibly the most bizzare story I have ever heard! I can't imagine just going and marrying someone and then saying you have a problem with all of the issues she says she did. The whole thing just does not sound right to me. IDK. The fact that their family is a cult just the icing on the cake.

i dont blame her at all, she is so shelters and has no street smarts. this is all on her mother. i feel for this kid

From everything I’ve seen from their channel I believe absolutely everything they do and say is coached from their parents. 🚩🚩🚩🚩

This family isn't the best, everything is just....nope so happy you are going to do this video :D

this is such a serious situation but the way she’s delivering it and josh’s reaction to all of it is so funny 😭😭 i feel so bad for laughing

Finally!!!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

Eh, it's the "keep sweet" smile that tells you everything you need to know about this family.

Yup!!! I said it before well before this happened u could see she used the older kids to raise the little ones. she even said she was always having to take care of the babies. Mostly the ones not breast fed lol now y’all will let me have it about this but the woman is still breastfeeding the last four kids lol she had a child with his plate in front of him lol arching her breast feed one and said can I have some? She will breastfeed any of them lol they move around an awful lot and under the most weird circumstances and the oldest left amd got married and now has severe depression etc and talks about it lol well I bet u do

Absolutely that guy is a monster and he must have to be jailed , I agree with u , feeling soooo pitty for this poor clopet
