Famous YouTuber gives up adopted autistic son, causing outrage across the world

[lancefraudd]

Curious what the misc think of this, and are you furious at them?

"A couple who documented on a popular YouTube channel their life with an autistic toddler adopted from China are facing a backlash after they revealed he had been placed with another family.

Myka Stauffer and her husband James, based in Ohio, produced videos about Huxley's adoption and his challenges.

Since 2017 the couple received sponsorship deals and video revenue.

While some understood the decision, critics accused the pair of exploiting Huxley to build their YouTube career.

The news that Huxley is living permanently with another family was revealed on Tuesday after followers noticed he had not been seen in a video for some time.

The couple said unspecified behavioural issues from Huxley had made life too difficult for the family, which includes four other children."

Spent several years working for a company that specifically works with people with Disabilities and while I had a lot of fun it was also infuriating alot of the time.

Couldnt imagine dealing with that 24/7

Guess who was right?

[Jaydawg08]

My sister has 2 adopted kids.. my nephew has brittle bone disease, and niece was thought to have tumors that would impact her development (so far it hasn't at all and she is incredibly smart)... it's challenging dealing with special needs kids. But the whole point of accepting that challenge is not giving up on them.

They sound to me like a couple of people who liked the idea of doing it, but not necessarily the true aspect of dealing with special needs children.

[LooksMaximus]

If they knew the kid had autism when they were adopting him then it's really fukked up, especially considering how they used it for personal gain.

Otherwise not so much.

More likely they'd harvest their organs and then throw them off a cliff. China apparently has a flourishing organ harvesting industry. Goes well with their discrimination, concentration camps, and general authoritarianism.

[8pieces]

loll imagine even trying to continue having a social media presence online after that. should delete everything, true scumbag attention whores

[ThaGreat1]

YouTube should delete their Channel...srs

[mcdojo]

Lol their most watched video 5m+ views is of their adoption. Made bank off him.

Also someone posted a comment the wife made. They were aaking for what disability do people think is hard to manage but is actually easy.

They legit wanted a disabled kid so they could be filled with praise, but wanted it to be secretly easy.

[ErnieMccracken]

They made at least a few million off this kid. They had channel sponsors and everything. Strong scumbagmaxxing.

Theres a petition to cancel her YouTube account with 11k signatures so far

They already turned off the likes to dislikes bar, and they are also deleting hate comments on YouTube, and highlighting positive posts to show at the top

[lancefraudd]

Did they know?

this is what I hate about mainstream media... instead of doing some research, they believe everything what they see on tv...

[SpeedMan1]

what a cunt

[drvillain]

after their cute foreign pet was too hard to train they just gave him up. SMH


I hope the kid is able to overcome everything

She used the boy to sell detergent!

“One thing I did to help our bond was decide to use Dreft baby detergent … It was really nice because Dreft baby detergent has this scent just like a newborn, so when I’m cuddling a 3-year-old baby boy I can still feel like I’m snuggling that brand-new baby,” shills Stauffer between explaining her initial struggles with rejection from her son. “I get that baby scent that I never got with my son.”

She backs up her tip with eyebrow-raising stats: “If you’re not familiar with Dreft detergent, Dreft actually recently did a survey that said 8 out of 10 parents feel more bonded with their children just by using Dreft.”

it's pretty well known that China has Uighur Muslims detained in camps and are harvesting their organs

These are weak people. They see the "out" and take it. Weren't prepared, didn't give it their all, and decided to give up. Decided. I don't blame them, it's fecking hard. That's what they specifically signed up for tho.

[A-GAME]

People should do whatever makes them happy. Obviously they felt they couldn't deal with the situation and God knows it must've been very difficult. They didn't throw the kid in a river, he was taken in by someone who could better deal with the child's issues.

[umop3pisdn]

I am outraged.
