Comments on social media sparked ridicule as some claim the video, which has been viewed 12 million times on YouTube, was a hoax.

“This whole thing is a scam!" read one comment.

“I'm calling it now seems like hoax!” was another.

The Shoff family appeared on Good Morning America Thursday to answer to skeptics.

“So they would get into the drawers, pull all the clothes that we had in the drawers and put them out and just throw them all over their room during nap time," the boys’ father, Ricky Shoff, said:  So we just decided the easiest thing was to empty the drawers and put all their clothes in the closet."

Noting that Ricky works for a company that makes surveillance cameras, skeptics asked why the camera appears to be trained on the dresser.
