It’s very brave of you to contact us as we know it’s not always easy for young people to talk about things going on at home.  

You are wondering why skibidi toilet is getting beaten by your mom’s boyfriend. We understand that skibidi toilet is a series on YouTube and are wondering do you mean your mom’s boyfriend is playing one of the games, and winning?
