Machelle Hackney Hobson's YouTube channel, Fantastic Adventures, was created on June 17, 2012, and ultimately gained 800,726 subscribers. The Fantastic Adventures scandal was a 2019 scandal involving the YouTube channel Fantastic Adventures, run by Machelle Hackney Hobson of Maricopa, Arizona, United States. The scandal began when one of Hobson's biological children contacted the police after witnessing her adopted siblings (Felipe, Summer, Elijah, Hailey, Jacob, Grayson and one unidentified child) being systematically abused by her mother. Fantastic Adventures gained worldwide media attention because of Hobson's motive of abuse towards the adopted children.  Hobson died in a Scottsdale hospital on November 12, 2019, having been released from jail in June and declared not competent to stand trial in August.
