A lot of moms complain when they have difficult babies....

A lot of moms don’t give their kids away....

He was not a baby. Most moms complain, but you don't complain on video/online where the child and your other kids and their friends and families can hear it all. Imagine what that would do to a child. This kid will go online one day and read all about this. Imagine how that will impact him after all the trauma he's had.

I’m sorry but no, he won’t go online one day and read all this. He has severe special needs and can’t even talk. He will never go and read about himself online.

He may be more there than people realize.

Ehhh, I don’t think so unfortunately. Never heard him talk in any videos on YouTube or IG. He’s four but seems to have the mindset of a 1 year old. I just don’t ever see him being a “normal kid”.

I know several kids including mine who did not talk till after four.

Did they have strokes in the womb and neuro specialists looking at their brain scans advising they would never take this on themselves and that issues would likely be lifelong? Because this child had that. Doesn't justify the parent's actions, but when you have specialists looking at neurological activity and saying, "I wouldn't..." that doesn't bode well normally.

What doctor is going to blab out to the parent of a child that they should give the child away rather than treat the child? It's not even a believable statement, it sounds like an excuse to support their choice to giving him away.

Not giving away a child, but that this was well known prior to adoption and the adoptive parents accepted this risk, against medical advice. And here they are...

They are giving him away. What else do you want to call it? You want to make it sound nice... we're putting him up for adoption? They aren't even doing a legal adoption.

How do you know that? I thought I heard that they used their adoption agency for the placement in the new home, which almost certainly means that it is a legal adoption.

I hope that their legal fees are astronomical and that these two awful people will be forced to spend as much of their waking life as possible working 3 jobs. May caring, nice people surround their children and guide them through life.

The new adoptive family pays the legal fees. They walk away, new family pays everything and its a 5 minute court hearing and done.

They have a lawyer threatening people on social media. Who knows how long they’ll retain him to clean up their mess.

That's not a surprise as it is hurting their livelihood. They may also have child welfare involved as well.

What’s that even going to matter? They don’t abuse their kids. People who think their kids should be taken away are disgusting.

We don't know what goes on behind closed doors as they don't video that. And, some of those videos with that little boy were abusive, like taping his finger. You get him into OT and get chewy and fidget toys.

JFC. This was covered PAGES AGO. They were advised to do this by doctors. All they have to do is pull records of that up and boom, no issue. Plus that was not even remotely close to being abusive. Stop the dramatics.

They doctor shopped to find the advice they wanted. Even if a doctor advises it, it is still abusive. How can you even think that is not abusive? Would you do that to your child? They make all kind of chew sensory toys for kids with ASD that are much better substitutes and choices. Anyone who puts tape like that on a child is abusive even if a doctor told them to.

The point is that they gave him away after specifically "hand selecting" him to join their family.

They used that kid like a circus animal.

The adoption agency should sue them for every dime they made off him in sponsored posts.

Everyone should sign the petition to demonitize their channel. Never let them do this to a child again.

Petition to remove their monetized videos of Huxley from YouTube:

This is the most sickening thing I’ve seen in recent memory.

There’s no way someone as stupid as she appears to be was correctly paying taxes on multiple internet income streams. I hope IRS audits them into bankruptcy and prison. But nothing can make this right. What a complete and total tragedy.

[Anonymous]

I hope they are sued for every cent they made monetizing him on YT and IG and it goes into a trust for his care. Poor kid.

They probably did not have a lot of choice in families as most doing private/agency adoption are not prepared to take on a 5 year old in that situation. They are trying to make what they did sound nice and they are the last people who should be selecting a family for him.

If they could afford a vacation, they could have afforded to hire help for him, even a nanny. Adoption agency cannot sue them. However child welfare can investigate them.

You don't adopt a child and give them away as they don't fit into your lifestyle. If they keep having biological kids, one is bound to turn up with issues or SN. Would they give that child away too?

Taping a hand and preventing use of it is ABUSE. It doesn't matter if doctors told them to. That is abusive behavior.

Wait you can be an abuser merely for adopting the recommendations of a qualified physician? TIL

What kind of doctor was this? Not all doctors are good doctors and can be misguided. It is absolutely abusive. If you didn't like what your child was doing with their hands would you duct tape them?
