The creator behind the now-defunct YouTube channel Fantastic Adventures, who was accused of abusing her seven adopted children when they did not perform well for videos, has died at a medical facility in the United States.

The Washington Post reported that Machelle Hobson, 48, was in poor health due to a brain injury she sustained in county jail back in June.
