| I watched it. I was vaguely familiar with the story. So they knew he was autistic when they adopted him, right? So why did they give him up? He was too autistic for them? |

Yea they did. I guess they felt they got all the content they needed. |

They were ill equipped for handling a special needs child. They were advised before the adoption that they were ill equipped. They were denied on previous occasions because they were ill equipped. But they were arrogant and posted about how they could handle any condition thrown at them. They couldn’t. They were wrong to adopt him in the first place and wrong to exploit him on social media and wrong to try and cover it up when they sent him away, but they did the right thing by having a competent family adopt him. I thought the documentary struck the right balance of showcasing how awful and selfish the Stauffers were while also showcasing how obsessively scary the internet can be. Influencing is high risk/high reward and easily fleeting. |

Hopefully more cases lead to serious rules about putting your kids in front of the camera. I feel there should be a law that something like only 10% of any video time on any channel can include children under a certain age.
I am completely against any channels or pages that post their kids lives for money. It is so exploitative. |

| Not that familiar wiith this story but isn't a large factor that they in fact had another biological kid within 2 years, when they thought they couldn't. So they moved on.... |

| Are the Stauffers getting money from the documentary? |
