    The one and only good thing about Myka...she opened the floodgates for snark!

  • @sobeit19
    @sobeit19 3 ปีที่แล้ว +185

    The many things I could list that pissed me off is 1. She denied him food when he wanted it. 2. James hated that H stared at him when he ate. Chinas orphanages are grossly underfunded and it’s not hard to see why he would obsess about food. 3. H couldn’t speak English but did they try to learn Mandarin to communicate with him? Nope. 4. When they got sick of him they locked him in a room with nothing to keep him occupied. 5. Her snarky comments when discussing his behaviors.. which she shared constantly with her viewers. 7. I believe she verbally and physically mistreated him.. 8 the fucking duct tape... 9. Money 10. Money 11. The trip to Bali immediately after kicking him to the curb. 12. They were heartbroken until he was placed in that car to leave his home. They dusted their hands of him, turned their backs and walked back inside their fab house H helped them buy

      Good comment. 👌
      With the Mandarin, why is that not something the orphanages help a little with (the responsibility is completely on Myka and James) but how can you not be expected to learn basic words, or at least be told how they did communicate with H at the orphanage to make the transition at least a tiny bit easier 🤔 they never mentioned anything about what they were doing in any regard for transition that I recall which is unacceptable.
      They can claim all they want that they did everything they could, we all saw it unfold and what's worse is they only showed what they wanted us to see.. which means they thought that was good ... Imagine what was not seen 😔

      Imagine that moment when Myka & James dumped poor little H for the last time. Actually I cannot imagine it. I wonder what they were feeling in that moment. It is so gut wrenching to think about. I wonder how their other children are doing. I'm sure those poor kids are going to have issues over losing their brother in the manner they did. I wouldn't be surprised if the kids disown their parents when they're older after realising mum & dad are psychopaths.

      Yep i honestly think they thought he was a terminal case. But when they found out he was going to live, they thought to themselves we cant control him now that hes little imagine when he becomes bigger and stronger what will we do with him then? And thats when their fake asses decided to rehome him

    Straight up admit I was one who was like “why are you so hateful towards these family vloggers? You’re jealous!” I even wanted to believe Myka had a legitimate reason for doing what they did. BUT then I really started paying attention and realized your point. Now, I’m not against all of them (mostly 98% of them lol) bc I don’t believe they all are exploiting their children, but 100% see the LeBrant family and many others. So I apologize for any rude comments I may have left on past videos. I now understand your point and you’re right.

    "there is not a minute that I didn't try my hardest" bullshit. almost daily, I think to myself, "I could be better. I should have done more with my kids. Do they watch too much TV? I shouldn't have lost my temper. I shouldn't have said this or that. I should read more. I should do more with them." I doubt myself as a mom, all. The. Time. My husband says it's the curse of a good mom. (I hope he's right.) But I literally do not know one mom out there that is 100% confident in how they're raising their kids. Except Myka.

      @ElishaSkater 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Matt Jones There's been many cases that shows otherwise. Have you heard of daddyofive? 7 passengers? Both shown that the kids don't want to be on camera. Many cases of kids being coerced to act certain ways in videos, the ace family and the latest family channel (forgot her name) got exposed for that. I'm not saying family channels should never be allowed but there needs to be laws in place that protect these children like they do with child actors. For example they shouldn't have a camera shoved in their faces all day, there should be limits on what you can share about them online, another example, one kid had her first period broadcasted everywhere and another's first bra shopping was online. Both kids were highly upset about that. Especially the money aspect, these family channels wouldn't be where they are today without the kids, do you think these parents that have 100% control of the money are saving any of that for the kids in the future? Do you think these parents are taking them to therapy for their mental health for them? I'm willing to bet they're not.

    Huxley’s empty room and being put to bed early while the bio kids stayed up and watched movies is what made me the most angry. that says everything about how much they loved and wanted him... Jack nothing. They likely did want a terminal kid so they could cash in on his death.

    They thought he had a brain tumor and that he was going to die. When they found out he wasn’t going to die they panicked. In that interview she did she straight up said they were freaked out when they found out her wasn’t terminal. I despise the Stauffers.

I didn't like to hear Josh say they're "flitting" with the idea of putting him online. I truly pray this family doesn't see how the Stauffers benefited from H then turn around and do the exact same thing for their own selfish reasons. This is a CHILD, a person, not an object to just be tossed around and used to make people money. It's disgusting I hope someone does something soon because it's very clear that this is happening and why their aren't laws against it already blows my mind!

    I’ve known people who have taken on second, third, even fourth jobs to make ends meet for their children. It is EVIDENT they were not willing to do everything they could for him.

      I gave birth to a son, who sadly died after one month, but he had a syndrome that would have meant he was severely affected. I would have paid anything to keep him alive and with me. I cannot fathom someone begrudging a $500 appointment with a professional, whilst wearing a $AUD7,050 Cartier bracelet. That little piece of metal on the wrist of Myka would have paid for 14 appointments! Is vanity really worth the wellbeing of a child? I wonder, had one of their bio kids needed special help if they would offer that child up for adoption too?

    Hey Josh, I didn't realise your channel was so young. I've been watching from Australia, from the beginning. Your videos have kept me sane (ironically given the subject matter) through COVID lockdowns, a split from an abusive partner, mental health issues with my family, spinal surgery (a year ago), a knee replacement (2 weeks ago), my daughter going to University and moving out of home. One of the reasons I was inspired to go back to University myself to do my Masters, to delve further into digital marketing, especially in the ethics area.I want to explore the ethical considerations of paying family bloggers to document their lives for public consumption. It's not the main reason, which was to do something more meaningful with my skills as a web designer, but it was a contributing factor. Thank you for all you have done for protecting kids and bringing awareness to the very real exploitation of children on youtube, often unwittingly, by parents. And mostly for making a dark subject have light with your humour, authenticity and unique skill set.

Like getting a dog who already knows his name and changing it to suit yourself even though it confuses the dog. Everything about what they did was liken to them adopting a pet, they treated him as though he was a prop. They could've at least tried to ease him into American culture by keeping his name and instead of changing him try to include yourself into his world, what he knows. Gross and I feel as though this constitutes a crime punishable by prison because they exclusively exploited him and also the money they extracted from gullible and naive viewers who genuinely cared for the child and their cause. Fraud. It was all for profits and gain.

    The first time I heard this story and saw the video from them, your comments and some other opinions my gut always told me they gave him away, because he had not such a bad desease that he will die from "soon". I always had the feeling like they will get a kid with a bad condition, will take care of it 2 or 3 years, the kid will die and they are glorified as the awesome parents that took care of the poor kid that died so quick.
    It is so selfish to take the good things, like the money that came with the adoption, and after that get rid of the kid, because he is not "working" like the other kids.
    This fake, forced crying (you can not even see the tears 🙄) makes me so angry. There is almost no emotion in their faces. I hope so much, that H is now in a home where he is loved and has parents that take care of him and his needs.
