Apex Legends, DOA, BYB tiny peen and [S.]’s Mom / May 30, 2024 / YouTube / xiqy5D0zn4s
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, spent a May 30, 2024 YouTube livestream targeting a minor identified as [S.], [S.]’s family members, and a rotating cast of named individuals he accused of grooming and predatory behavior. The stream included an implied ammunition advisory directed at the live audience, a solicitation of private identifying information on [S.]’s parents, graphic sexual commentary about [S.]’s mother and grandmother, and stated threats to file reports with family protective services in multiple states.
“Give me everything you can find on [S.]’s parents”
D’Amato opened the [S.] segment by framing himself as uniquely capable of confronting the people he claimed had been “terrorizing everybody.” Within that framing, he issued a direct advisory to his audience. The statement was not attributed to any hypothetical or third party: it was addressed to viewers he characterized as being in situations similar to his own.
D’Amato then pivoted to calling [S.] a “little fucking piglet,” accusing the minor of being willing to lie to police, and announcing he planned to “peel” him “like a fucking banana.” He claimed to hold recorded evidence of [S.] suggesting a false report be made that a minor was injured and stated he would play that clip later in the stream. He also solicited clips from his audience showing [S.] riding in a van with another named target, DOA, directing his chat to locate and send the footage to him.
Later in the stream, D’Amato solicited private identifying information on [S.]’s parents from his audience directly. He also told a chatter identified as “flat cat” that her name would be included in reports he claimed to be filing with family protective services in Texas, Oregon, and Florida, calling her “a fucking parasite” and “a predator.”
Exhibit A
D’Amato tells his audience that anyone dealing with a person threatening their family has only one piece of advice worth following: “all I got to say is load up on ammunition… load up on ammunition that’s all I could say.” The statement is made in the context of discussing [S.] and DOA, with no hypothetical framing attached.
Timestamps: 00:11:13 – 00:14:32 | Watch with a free accountThe segment runs from a discussion of DOA’s prior behavior around minors, something it appears D’Amato has no proof of, into the ammunition advisory, then immediately into D’Amato polling his audience on whether [S.] had been inside DOA’s van. The advisory is sandwiched between claims about the minor’s proximity to a named adult, giving it a target-specific context.
Exhibit B
D’Amato accuses named viewers William and Jessica, along with Lara, of being “grooming predators,” stating: “No, you let him take a train home and a scooter after curfew and he’s a minor. Curfew’s there for a reason.” He applies the accusation broadly to anyone in [S.]’s audience who “were encouraging him and not telling him to go home.”
Timestamps: 00:16:36 – 00:18:27 | Watch with a free accountD’Amato refers to Jessica and William as predators during this segment. He also states that Lara “just has this kid around her all the time,” connecting the grooming claim to in-person proximity.
Exhibit C
After warning that anyone who publicly accuses him of being a “convicted pedo” will receive “the full scope of my wrath,” D’Amato pivots to graphic commentary about [S.]’s mother and grandmother, stating on stream: “I mean I can sit here and talk about cracking her cheeks open and splitting it like wood and all that stuff, but she’s probably not my type. But your grandma though, hey… have you seen Mindy’s mom did you see Mindy’s mom?”
Timestamps: 00:23:10 – 00:24:59 | Watch with a free accountThe sexual commentary about [S.]’s relatives is directed at the minor by name. D’Amato also announces in this segment that he will post “threesome iPhone videos with hot girls” to his OnlyFans, tying the sexual content to his stated retaliation framing.
Exhibit D
D’Amato addresses a woman named Mindy, saying: “I can’t imagine what your fucking mom is like,” before delivering graphic sexual commentary about Mindy’s mother by name. He closes the segment with the phrase “I think all roads lead to unaliving,” spoken without elaboration.
Timestamps: 00:55:15 – 00:57:01 | Watch with a free accountThe “Unaliving” reference is made in the first person and attached to no qualifying language. It appears immediately after graphic sexual commentary directed at Mindy and her mom.
Exhibit E
D’Amato claims a detective from the major crimes division interviewed DOA without DOA knowing her rank, and that DOA subsequently spoke negatively about her. D’Amato claims to be cooperating with the investigation, saying “I am helping them.”
Timestamps: 00:59:34 – 01:01:21 | Watch with a free accountD’Amato states on stream that DOA going “in front of a judge” on May 30 could result in custody, framing that outcome as likely given the number of prior appearances. These claims about the investigation and court proceedings are D’Amato’s own characterizations, made on stream without supporting documentation shown to viewers.
Exhibit F
D’Amato tells a chatter identified as “flat cat” that her name will be included in reports he claims to be filing with family protective services in Texas, Oregon, and Florida, and calls her “a fucking parasite,” adding: “She was all scared about being doxxed and all this fucking shit and shit like that.”
He also addresses Ivor, one of his mods, telling him to go ahead and post a “dick pic” of a rival named Derek in their Discord channel. “Awesome Ivor… Oh, yeah, and now we have the version that we could post.
Go ahead and post the um Derek’s little peen on discord.”
D’Amato names TJ and Lemmy alongside Flat Cat as subjects of the reported complaints. The segment establishes a pattern in which D’Amato uses the threat of regulatory reporting as a direct response to chat pushback from named individuals.
Exhibit G
D’Amato directs sustained graphic sexual commentary at [S.], stating: “You’re sensitive. You’re a sensitive little boy that argues with his chat about his mommy,” and continuing with explicit remarks about [S.]’s mother. He also announces that a pixelated image described as belonging to a named target has been posted to Discord.
Timestamps: 01:38:32 – 01:40:16 | Watch with a free accountThe image distribution is presented as either a reward or having come from a viewer identified as “Ali Mac,” who D’Amato thanks by name. D’Amato simultaneously describes a pay-to-redirect model in which viewers can pay $100 via Venmo, Cash App, or superchat to change the direction of the stream.
Exhibit H
D’Amato solicits private information on [S.]’s parents from his live audience, stating: “if you guys could give me everything you could find on [S.]’s parents That’s what we’re looking forward to.” He states the information is intended for reporting purposes.
Timestamps: 01:52:11 – 01:53:56 | Watch with a free accountThe solicitation is directed at the parents of a named minor and framed as intelligence gathering for a reporting campaign D’Amato described earlier in the stream.
Exhibit I
D’Amato states he has already contacted YouTube to flag [S.] as an unsupervised minor, saying: “I suggested to YouTube that you know a minor cannot be outside by himself unsupervised. Please look into it.” He then tells [S.] directly: “You little fucking parrot monkey.”

D’Amato frames the YouTube report and the recorded evidence claim as steps in the case he says he is building against [S.]. Both claims are D’Amato’s own characterizations, made on stream without documentation shown to viewers.
The nine exhibits document over two hours of a single livestream targeting a named minor, his family, and members of D’Amato’s audience.
