A large body camera production YouTube channel released footage yesterday showing the arrest of a Maricopa mom accused of “disciplining” her son with baseball bat beatings and threatening him with a knife after he didn’t do the dishes.

The July arrest of Homestead resident Gloria Cobbs, 56, was an interesting choice of video to post on Mother’s Day. Regardless, it was a crime that made it onto InMaricopa’s list of the top 7 most insane reasons to threaten murder last year.

The YouTube parent company, Explore With Us, has 9.8 million subscribers across its three channels and last night posted a video titled “Mom Calls Cops on Teen Son, Instantly Regrets It” on its EWU Bodycam channel. After one day, the video had accumulated more than half a million views.

Maricopa Police Department officers responded to a Thornberry Lane home after Cobbs told police dispatchers that she would kill her son if he was not removed from her home.

She told Sgt. Michael Straub over the phone that her son deserved to die because he didn’t want to do chores. When Straub said not to hurt her child, she said, “Thank you for your input,” and hung up. 

The footage shows Cobbs’ 17-year-old son calling police and telling dispatchers his mom was chasing him with a knife, followed by officers interviewing Cobbs and her son.  

Cobbs was arrested and eventually found guilty of disorderly conduct. She was sentenced to 18 months of supervised probation. 

Explore With Us previously released another video covering MPD’s most famous case, YouTube Mom, who abused her seven adopted children for her YouTube channel. “Cops Rescue 7 Kids Trapped in YouTuber’s House of Horrors” has been viewed 5.3 times the EWU Bodycam channel.

MPD has found its way onto other YouTube body camera channels in recent months. Donut Operator posted a video reacting to February’s officer-involved shooting at Circle K, while other popular channels have picked up body-camera footage from a war over “chicken nuggies” at a Maricopa Burger King and a Rolex ruse at McDonald’s.
