The crying child's name has been found.

That's right, we finally have an answer for a question that has stumped this community for a literal decade.

And the craziest part of all of it, it was solved by a channel with only one video.

Matt must be rolling in his retirement grave.

We'll just see about that. I'm going to Hello internet.

Welcome to Game Theory, the show that's happy to let someone else solve FNAF for a change.

Since the release of security breach, it feels like there's been a massive new wave of

FNAF theorizing on YouTube.

We've seen the rise of people like John FNAF, Ry toast, Id's fantasy, and dozens more, all joining us in the good fight to try and

solve the infuriating law of this franchise.

And just over a month ago, a new challenger, or should I say challengers, entered the ring.

The channel dual process theory, and they went big for their first outing, making the claim

that they'd solved the entirety of Knaf in their very first video.

And not only were they laying down a timeline for the whole series, they also claimed to have solved a particular mystery that has been bugging us theorists for a long time.

What is the name of the crying child?

After nearly 10 years, we still just call him the crying child,

despite the fact that every other character in this franchise seems to get a name,

Mike, Elizabeth, Charlie, even the missing children got names.

So why is this kid's name left blank?

Well, according to dual process theory, it's not that he doesn't have a name.

It's that we just missed it.

We've had the name all along. We've just been giving it to someone else.
