Ethan Klein says human skulls were mailed during CPS visit and FBI launched investigation

Ethan Klein, host of the H3 Podcast, revealed that he received two human skulls in the mail around the same time Child Protective Services (CPS) visited his home in March 2025, following a false report. He discussed the incident during the 119th episode of the H3 Show and later elaborated in an April 21 video on his h3h3Productions YouTube channel.

Klein said the situation began in early March, when CPS arrived after an anonymous tip claimed his child was “crawling around and eating dog feces.” He noted that the CPS officer suggested the report may have come from someone familiar with the family. Klein responded that it’s easy to impersonate someone online, making false reports difficult to trace.

Around that time, the family received two unidentified human skulls by mail, prompting an FBI investigation. “We had a very pleasant interview with the FBI,” Klein stated, adding that the situation had escalated beyond the usual bounds of online trolling and harassment.

Alongside the CPS and FBI developments, Klein also addressed criticism from YouTuber Ian “iDubbbz” Carter, whose recent Content Cop video targeted Klein. In his response titled My Response to iDubbbz, Klein called the hour-long feature “poorly researched” and “desperate,” questioning why he was singled out more harshly than others and accusing iDubbbz of compromising his values for relevance.

As of now, iDubbbz has not publicly responded to Klein’s video.

Klein said the experience highlights how internet conflicts can spiral into real-world threats, moving “well past the point” of typical online drama.
