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

He’s not in the foster care system so why the hell are you re posting sh*t like this? Makes you look dumb.

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.

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?

If I had a child with RAD I would try a lot of things.

Yup. This. I would trust what multiple drs told me to do.

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.

I think this sort of thing should be included in future adoption codicies. This woman went looking for this child like a predator. They didn't come to her.

I also think all children being used for financial gain on social media should be protected by federal law. Any profits the legal guardians make by using their images or faces should be split 50/50 and that half goes into a trust that's sealed for them to use for college or private school education and/or until they're 21 years of age.

Just like the Hollywood child star laws post-Shirley Temple.

Yes. There are absolutely doctors who promote quack treatments for autism that can be very dangerous. I am sure that there were doctors involved in the Judge Rotenberg Center during all those years when they used electric shock.

Having said that, in the video I saw, they blamed the thumb thing on the dentist.

This child from postings here was affectionate. This child didn't have rad. This child has complex medical issues that caused SN. This child grew up in China speaking a different language, was never put in school with minimal therapies. He is not to blame. If you can give up a child easily, as the adult you have RAD.

Lmao do you know how many child actors and actresses there are out there? Far more.

Youtube also controls the majority of their revenue stream - easy to click a button and cut off their monetization if ordered to by CPS.

Or they can divert the funds into 529 accounts instead of bank accounts.

LOLLLLLL child cruelty? REALLY? How do you even figure? Not one person out there commented on her care of Huxley while he was living with them. No one claimed abuse or cruelty or neglect or anything....UNTIL they gave him up to another family. Why? Because there was no cruelty. Putting tape on his thumb isn’t abuse. That’s all that’s “out there”. You all are starting to sound stupid now.

[Anonymous]

Who cares? She made money off him, got some content for your channel, and now it is "bye-bye". At least she did not kill him and harvest his organs. She could have easily done that. KMyka.

There are pages and pages on influencer gossips sites about her exploiting and being cruel to her kids, usually Hux, before any of this. There are entire reddit threads with hi dreads of post about how she treated him— and her annoying fake voice.

It is really sad if you do know her and you did nothing.

“Rehomed”? What is he, a dog?

And you are trusting that these are people that ACTUALLY knew her and not just random people making it up? Really?? Don’t you think if someone who knew her knew she was “abusing him” would have reported it? It’s easy to do anonymously. This whole thing is just stupid. Thousands of people making sh*t up, claiming they know her or their family or the “truth”.

[Anonymous]

It is abusive to duct tape a child's hand as punishment for thumb sucking and far better ways to deal with it. We don't know how he was treated behind closed doors. Only the family does. She clearly never bonded or loved him and it was all for show. People like her are why many countries shut down to the US because kids were being abused after their adoption. How do you think China will react? Do you think they will be happy about what happened to this child? You don't think it will impact future adoptions, especially given how public it is?
