Predators are everywhere on social media, YouTube and various other platforms. It's extremely difficult to report these types of people since they're never removed from said medias or even reported to the police. They always have an excuse and a defense mechanism to avoid the police at all costs to repeat it all over again. It's exactly what happened with ToonKriticY2K but were not talking about him today. For today's post we have Mini Ladd, a well-liked YouTuber back in the day suddenly took a huge turn for the worst as of the year 2020. We all know about this guy and his actions, but it pays tribute to another YouTuber that I talked about named Cryatoic along with Charem the Shadox, Entity Mays and Khord Kitty.
Mini Ladd (also known as Craig Thompson) started his account on May 12, 2011, but didn't upload anything until 4 months later (on September 13, 2011), with the first video titled "How To: Be Russian." The video itself is him talking like he's Russian while playing Call of Duty: Black Ops. Shortly after he made a couple of update videos: Update 1 on September 23 and Update 2 on September 29. These videos were mostly updates regarding the state of his channel. He would also give shoutouts to YouTuber's like Utorak007 as an example (there are a number of YouTuber's he mentions but most of them don't have accounts anymore). Over the years he would continue to expand his content around and play a variety of games like Minecraft, Uno, CSGO, Garry's Mod, GTA, Happy Wheels, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and so on. In the later years of his channel constantly growing, he would livestream on Twitch but post a thing called Meme Streams where he basically reacts to memes that people send to him.

I'm not going to talk about the situation between Craig (Mini Ladd) and Brian (Terrorizer) because it's a whole other story in itself. For now, I want to cover this topic because it's so damn baffling. Two girls by the names of Ash and Halley came out on Twitter to talk about their experience with Craig a.k.a. Mini Ladd. Craig had been sending messages back and forth to both Ash and Halley when they were underage. Most of these messages were sent as wayback as 2017. The craziest thing is that he'll send messages that are complete out of control, like the message on the right where he talks about his dick size. I mean what the fuck. Anyways this led to him realizing and yet responding to Halley saying that he knew Ash or someone else was 17 and also claiming that it was a darker time in his life and was suicidal. On June 24, he made a statement explaining the situation (shown above) and that he was going to therapy, which is never going to work.
Hi there, just wanted to make some stuff clear and also apologise for what you experienced. Sorry this happened to you. pic.twitter.com/BTh3ec8ghK

Nothing happened between the time he was getting "therapy" and with him returning to YouTube in August of 2020. Unfortunately, most of the videos around the middle/end of 2020 were all deleted except for a couple. On September 4, 2020, Craig uploaded a video (shown above, since deleted but reuploaded) titled "Clearing The Air" to which he explains the situation in his own words and basically leaving the people who were manipulated out of the video. This caused a huge amount of negative feedback towards him. This also caused a bunch of YouTuber's to make videos on Craig including diesel patches, Halley2364, JDhillon, Prison Mate Luke, Alphaseries and many others. Before the upload of Mini Ladd's supposed "Apology" video, Brian makes a tweet on September 3, apologizing to the people about the situation they had to go through with Mini. Craig would continue uploading videos (met with a huge number of dislikes per video) until December 28, 2020, when his last video titled "My Apology" was released on his channel (shown above, since deleted but reuploaded). This video is just him openly admitting on what he did was wrong, but once again this is just another fake apology just by looking at the body language. This also got the attention of several YouTuber's like Optimus, Enigma, Kavos, TJV, The Hot Box, Dr. Demonic and many others.

After the fake apology in December, he suddenly disappeared and was inactive. He was actually met up with The Hollywood Fix on February 22, 2021, at a BOA Steakhouse, explaining his absence and eventually returning to YouTube. Unfortunately, he did return to YouTube in the worst way possible but will talk about that in a moment. On June 22, 2021, he returned to YouTube under his second channel Craig Thompson. The first video he uploaded since his absence was titled "I Survived 24 Hours On The Edge Of A Cliff." Now with him being back, many people in the comment section had mixed feelings for him being back. The majority of people like him being back (which is fucked up) while the others want him terminated and gone. On October 16, 2021, he returned to his main channel with the video titled "It's Good To See You (Meme Stream)." This was his pathetic return to YouTube and it's no exception. By now his viewership went down the drain between 84% to 96% which he'll never get that back. He has been filtering negative comments so it's not surprising. A great way to start the month of December.
Way back 6 months ago (on June 18, 2022), Craig uploaded a video titled "Why Losing Everything Was The Best Thing To Happen To Me" to which he explains why it was the "best" move for him. Of course, this was just another coverup to his existed fake apology videos in the past and another way of scapegoating. At the time I'm making this post, the video has 8,925 likes to 34,160 dislikes (probably jumped since then). Goes to show that he's pretty much dead at this point and is constantly losing subs. Anyways, the reason for this was because after that video, one of the 'so be called' members of the Vanoss Crew Ohmwrecker (known for constantly lying to people and making up shit a lot, might talk about him) left a comment on that video before it was flagged. If you want to see the comment, you can read it here or check out Ohmwrecker's tweet.
UPDATE: December 21, 2022:
Well, it has been exactly 10 days since I had a premade post regarding to the Mini Ladd situation. This is actually the first update on Craig Thompson because he had basically disappeared off the platform. The last upload from his channel was on August 7, 2022. It's ironic because after 10 days of this post being posted, a YouTuber by the name of Jaded made a video on December 10 titled "Where Did Mini Ladd Go After Being Exposed? (2 Years Later)" in which he talks about a recap on what exactly happened to him when Craig was exposed. As a result, the two YouTuber's Terrorizer and Nogla would poke fun at the situation. It was essentially reacting to memes based on Craig Thompson.
Aside from poking fun at Craig, he did make a small comeback again but this time in the form of an Instagram post (shown above). It was essentially talking about his body transformation in the last 2 years, but still trying to avoid going to jail for what he has done. Maybe that's the reason why he disappeared again? I don't know, what are your thoughts?
