I’ve always watched family vloggers (my escape, i’m from a very dysfunctional family - seeing their highlights was like “ahh nice families do exist”) and I didn’t see the exploitation side of family vlogging until your videos. I totally value your content, it’s so eye opening and you really do only advocate for the children. It’s too bad not everyone is willing to see the family vlogs/content for what it is, as well as being more careful. There are soooo many (too many unfortunately) predators and creeps. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Yeah..i fell for them at first too, because of abbey, ❤ then i found out from ppl posts, asa got a girl pregnant..before percilla came along. The story goes us, he dosent speak of it, i read that he didnt...dosent help the child n mom in anyway, i texted him, brought this shit up to him...all he gloated about was..like...I BUY HOUSES..I TAKE CARE OF M Y FAMILY..I BUY ABBEY EVERYTHING...BLAH BLAH BLAH,,,STILL WONT ADMIT IT..
A good friend of mine is a single Mom...with stage 4 breast cancer..going through chemo and radiation with a 10 year old nonverbal autistic daughter. She can't work between her illness and caring for her little girl. Watching her makes me so angry at this family. They stress about dealing with their kid...they don't even know the meaning of stress in my opinion.
I’m so sorry about your friend, you sound like an amazing friend and I’m thinking of her 🙏 Living with chronic illnesses and several chronic pain syndromes is hard , that’s with my husband. But Your friend is my hero because I know what it takes to be an autism parent let alone all the stuff she is battling…I honestly can’t imagine. These ppl here make me sick & they have no clue what it’s really like to be that stressed. Your friend is truly in my heart ♥️
That aboutsly horrible what's happened to your friend... but that like say no one around you can be stress because you know someone who's worst off. That toxic in itself.
Malignant narcissists who are making choices leading to systematic increasing obesity of their seriously cognitively impaired daughter. Their daughter also has an eating compulsion, and is a behavioral handful a lot of the time.
albussnape2, The eating compulsion is the result of ABA, autistic adults kept warning them one of the after effects of ABA is reward obsession. They kept rewarding Abbie food with ABA and she’s now obsessed with food.
As a foster mother in the states I agree with using caution when calling CPS. We can barely get basic resources for our foster kiddos. Therapeutic and special needs foster homes are completely maxed out in capacity in my state, where kids are being placed in hotels. Of course resources and homes are state dependent, and unfortunately, our state is small and low on resources. Kiddos coming into our home are severely traumatized, in which being moved into a foster home adds more trauma. They've placed kids back with parents failing drug tests because they deemed the parent still able to care for their child under the influence. There's such a shortage of resources and homes in our state that they have lowered the bar for children's care. I also see a lot of people assuming Asa was lying about CPS having a more dire case. While he could be lying, unfortunately we've had a caseworker break case confidentiality before. One of our monthly visits was delayed because the caseworker said she had to focus on a runaway before she could get to us. It happens. The system is not perfect at all. I really hope one of these days Josh could do a video on CPS/foster system in general. It has a lot of issues that really needs to be addressed.
@@lowkib3201 it’s not making them into villains he’s telling the truth. They are exploiting their daughter to make money they have no jobs they’re not a normal family. All they do is buy stuff for themselves, and Abby gets donuts and an iPad …if your child cannot give consent to be filmed its wrong.
What I don’t understand is why don’t they just quit being on camera. Live a normal life. I believe you love the attention for yourselves. You could survive without 75 different wreaths, and holiday decor! You just flaunt everything that you have. Maybe everyday people are struggling and get sick of seeing it! Concentrate on a normal off camera life with Abbie! I don’t think you can put her first, you love the money and the attention too much!!!!
They go on about how there is no way either of them want the job of teaching Abby full time then saying that it would be an easy job only having one student. If they think it's that easy why don't they do it themselves or realise that a lot of teachers like myself would prefer many students over being in the child's home having everything you do judged by the parents.
As a mom of a severely autistic son, I can assure you that CPS in my state has to make a visit even if the report is anonymous. I had it happen to me when my son is taken care of in every way, more than normal developing children whose parents drop them off at a park for hours without supervision.
The CPS and importance should be made by looking at differences in their parent's and parents' behavior and mental state, not the children's state! Period!
Today (5-29) a new video was posted called Sick Sucks and it is really rough. Please watch the first 10-15 seconds of the video where Abbie is dosing off on the patio and Asa leaves her there ALONE and walks into the house, closes the door behind him and continues to film. After all the complaining about CPS last week, they should see this video. Why would a sick child be left alone outside beside a swimming pool? She had been awake for a couple of nights and could have wandered right into the pool!!! She could have had a seizure or any number of things.
I am a parent of a son with special/extra needs, and I have been accused of exploiting him on social media. I have a small following on FB and TT, and have shared our lives for years for many reasons, so when someone said this to me I initially got really offended and assumed the person just didnt 'get it'. SO MUCH of my life is my son, so it made sense that most of my videos included my son. After really thinking about it I have changed some things about my content, and I think any loving parent would do the same. My son is almost 27 and he actually can consent now, (and may have a female fan or two at his day program) but I definitely went back through and watched everything through a different lens. We have created some huge monsters by paying these people so much money, I hope this is the turning point and things will continue to change.
I am so very happy to read your story and although it is a bit bad that people gave you so much backlash but sometimes it is needed to make people see what they are doing to us. Abby is actually not giving consent in many diffrent ways. From shaking her head “no” to pushing away the camera. There are kids(some are now adult) that now speak up when their family has exploited them by living in a van and filming every day. Or non speaking kids that type and tell that way that it was a hell with parents that put everything online. I was pushed to speak and not have my own pace which actually cut into my ability to speak now. Im 32 and i am thankfull to live in the netherlands and there is (nearly) no access to ABA. That would have crushed me as it has crushed many others. Thank you for being mindfull about what you put online and what you dont. We are just humans with a different need of support then others. :)
For your son sake please delete. I know you probably think you are so amazing and that everyone needs to know what an amazing job you’re doing but please stop. It’s the most heartbreaking thing my mom has ever done to us. Is post my struggles online for everyone and colleagues and neighbors to see. You know he holds guilt but your son cannot help it. Please stop sharing his every struggle.”he can give consent now” no. And as an autistic person I would never want to disappoint my caregiver/mother by telling her to delete all her memories. You have to do the right thing now.
These people are so disillusioned that they are somehow going to teach Abby how to live an independent life. They feel as though the schools were not giving her enough life skills and they can do it better. It’s unrealistic and Abby is the one who has to suffer.
I agree completely. Abbie's parents need a MAJOR reality check, especially if they still think there's ANY realistic chance of Abbie living independently someday. That is clearly NEVER going to happen. Abbie seems like a great kid, don't get me wrong, but her intellectual disabilities are EXTREMELY profound. She has to be constantly prompted to do anything & everything, or else she gets distracted & wanders off. This is clearly a child that will need full-time 24-7 care for her entire life. Asa & Priscilla make so much money off their TH-cam channel, they could easily afford to hire some of the best professionals in the field to come teach Abbie & give her a truly world-class education -- but they don't. Instead, they spend all that money on things for themselves -- cars, real estate, fancy electronics, vacations, an RV, etc., etc. Abbie's needs always, ALWAYS come last for these people. And that's what bothers me the most about the Fathering Autism channel. They should honestly be ashamed of themselves.
Abbie does not know how to use the bathroom. She knows how to ASK for the bathroom. It’s one of her very limited vocabulary. She wears pull ups. I think she just goes into the bathroom because it’s a small, safe, and comforting place but she just stands there.
She can use the bathroom on her own during the day. The reason she has to wake her parents up is because she's locked in her room at night via baby gate and other locks that she can't figure out. And as u said, she wears pull ups at night with her backwards pajamas. I do just want to call out, to Josh's entire family vlogger point, is something that I shouldn't know.... But do. 🤷🏻♀️😳 And THAT is why people shouldn't exploit their kids online!!!🙀🤔🙀🤔 I know way too much about their family!
I followed this family for awhile and I started getting a bad feeling about them. It makes me so sad for Abbie. Asa is so freaking cocky. I can’t stand hearing him talk.
I know , i know . Abbeys so, so sweet n innocent. He does claim...abbey will be well taken care of, if something should ever happen to the parents, thats great, the son will be helping her through the years, himself .
We plan on homeschooling our kids BUT if I have a special need where they can get the services they need in a public school I’ll put them in the best place for them in a heartbeat.
It never occurred to me, but maybe they took her out of school because Isiah went off to college and Abby was at school all day, so where is the daily content? I now think was so they could have consistent content. All the people left…Isiah, Becky, Summer, Crazy Nanny. Always wondered what would happen after Isiah was gone. How would they fill the void? Having Abby home all helps with content.
What type of "life skills" do you people think Abbie will learn exactly? She's 18-24 months old mentally. How many toddlers do any of you know that has life skills and holds a job? None.
I think she can learn some self care skills and such but she’ll likely always need assistance. She can still learn things though it’ll just take more repetition. I think it’s hard to say she’s mentally however many months because she still has the extra years of life experience plus it’s hard to know what she might understand but not be able to communicate.
@@c.swinford8283 nope. You're wrong. She's profoundly ID and has no ability to reason. Her parents are lazy af and at age 17 she hasn't been taught to even use the bathroom. Her father stated her mental age a few times but they are in such denial that it's not really discussed at length. She understands as much as any young toddler under the age of 2. That will never change.
I agree with a lot of what you say, but I have to say something here. My husband and I took care of our son for 28 years. He passed away on April 4th. We didn't have a normal life. Special needs parents DONT have normal lives. I would ask that you please don't judge what is normal for you and normal for us...
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your son was very fortunate to have two parents that loved and took care of him. And I’m sure he brought you much joy. You and your family are in my 🙏🏻❤️
I’m so so sorry for your loss. Praying for you & your family. It sounds like your son had the best of the best for parents. My heart goes out to you both 🤍
Yes, this. We have two kids with additional needs (one severely medically fragile and one on the Spectrum). Our life is far from normal and will never be normal. People who don’t live this life do not get it. I don’t agree with the way this family exploits Abigail. There are a lot of things that they do that I don’t agree with. However we don’t know all of what goes on in their home, and I can tell you from experience parenting a child with needs like Abigail’s is exhausting.
You are so right Josh CPS does not have to show up. My grandchildren are in foster care today because the father died and the mother ran away. I called CPS I went personally to the office they never did make a call to the home. The first time they went to the home was one of my little three-year-old grandson climbed out on the roof of a three-story home and the police were called. That's when they got involved. He is doing everything you explained in your video. They need to watch what they're filming. And I agree Abby doesn't need to be taken away from them.
Why are you assuming that the reporting parties are from YT and not from neighbors or former teachers? Just curious. You’re assuming that he’s being honest about what the call was about or did they show some proof from CPS as to what the investigation is about?
That's not true. I called on my own sister over my nieces and they told her it was me and that I live in Hawaii. (She lives in Tennessee and I'm the only one she knows here so...)
I had some make false allegations to Cps after I fired them. I knew who it was the whole time because I told Cps I recently fired ____ because they were hitting my child and my child was crying that they were scared. When I said that cps worker looked at me and said “looks like it was filed out of retaliation”
@@littlekitsune1 You’re allowed to say “I have another case I need to get to” or things like that - but you cannot give details or say anything that can IDENTIFY a person/case.
Nahhh. CPS cases are triaged by level of urgency. Can 100% guarantee she did not decide to stop at their house first then proceed to wait around for Abbie before going to a more “dire” case. Nice try though.
Here’s the thing he made a video saying Abby didn’t know how to get off that float by herself. If she decided to - cement is dangerous. When she did surfing for autism she would just get off in the middle of a surf. If not for someone catching her - I don’t know what would happen. He’s so arrogant and hypocritical.
I know for a fact that the CPS worker shouldn’t have said anything about any other case period! My cousin is a social worker and this is something they’re not allowed to say. 🤦🏻♀️
My son went to JSA and we would see them all the time. Constantly with a camera in their hand and never living in the moment with their kids. It was bizarre. They were treated like major celebrities at that school. The school is also so money crazy it was ridiculous, that’s why we left.
@nelson wells do you still have contacts at J$A that are trustworthy? It would be nice to know why they pulled Abbie. Also do you know of anything else that would shed some light on these horrible people?
@@MrsEyes512 so you're fishing for confidential info on a child while watching a channel talk about exploitation while they exploit someone else's child negatively for money... makes sense
@@MrsEyes512pulled Abbie because the wanted one on one attention on her that the teachers weren't able to provide. And Assa wasn't getting enough screen time of Abbie, and let see what else.... ooo the drive to the school was too far away and they had to get their lazy asses out of bed early. So 2024 they can stay up all night, wake up in late in the morning 1030 or later. Sit on the couch and let Abbie shred her paper. What a life.
About the washroom debacle. I don't know if they still do this, cause they've not shown it in ages, and I haven't really watched anything recently, but they used to put her pjs on backwards, like zip up ones, so she couldn't take them off at night cause I guess she was smearing feces or something would be my guess. So she would probably need help to go to the bathroom in that case, if they are still putting her in the zip up pajamas on backwards. Again, though, that was years ago I saw a video about that. So she may not wear those to bed nowadays.
I think they said she pulled the pad apart. I live in the UK and because safeguarding would not allow the kind of putting on pyjamas back to front to stop the picking, purchasing washable pads was the answer . Seems to me they don’t want her to have any independence.
I am not a big fan of theirs in anyway, but I need to add that it is not unusual for severely autistic people to not be able to toilet themselves. My son who is 25 still cannot wipe after a BM. I also have to bathe him, shave him, cut his hair, etc. I wish everyone had to spend some time with a severely autistic child and the family, especially doctors. As far as supported living goes, it is not a walk in the park. The people who these agencies hire have no experience, just like respite workers. You, as the parent, have to spend weeks and months training and then they leave. Respite workers are not easy to find, depending on the needs of your child.
I get that, but as someone who has done this, can you see that In Abby? Honestly. I feel like they don't want to work with her to give her the freedoms... they are lazy it cannot be denied.
@@thedcp imagine If she had the ability to say no to being filmed and they didn't listen they might lose their channel and they don't want to miss out on the extra money by not having the channel.
If they were willing to invest - emotionally and financially, Abby would definitely be thriving. Autistic people aren't broken, they just need more help. I refuse to believe that people with their fame and budget can't find a good respite worker.
@@littlekitsune1 they are just lazy and don't want to take the time to find a respite worker so they just use TH-cam to find one aa its less work for them.
Josh. I just wanted to say....you have a way of covering even really gross material without making me feel massively depressed. I really appreciate that. The world is non stop bad news right now and I’m already going through a depressive episode. I can barely watch anything I normally watch right now. So thanks 😊
Josh is teaching us a lesson about exploiting kids because it’s gross and disgusting what I like about Josh is that he’s the only one that looks out for everyone on here including his fans on her because he’s teaching us a valuable lesson because these TH-camrs don’t give a dam they love exploiting kids online for content which is gross and disgusting when I have my first child I will never ever do that ever
My 9yo is non verbal autistic. He do uses the bathroom in his own, but he dont clean his self. I have to clean him, tell him to wash his hands and help him with his clothes. BUT he does loves swimming and he is able to do it on his own since he was 6yo. Still I Watch him, but he do love swimming, its how we calm him when he’s angry
As a parent of a little boy who has nonverbal autism… this video has me have so many different feelings. I feel like all of this is forced. None of this is relatable to me. We empty our bank account every month to get my son extra speech therapy outside of school.. while I watch this dude complain that he may have to be a teacher for his child, meanwhile his bank account is overflowing from the exploitation of his own kid… none of which goes back to that kid’s education. We spent our ENTIRE savings to move to a state with more resources for our son. We make “too much” to get government help, so everything is on us. It makes me SICK to see someone profit from their child with special needs, and then not give that child everything they deserve.
CPS can screen out but I think that if the family has multiple contacts before the paper trail needs to happen. Something in the report met the guidelines for a visit
Mondays? Ok Maass’…Let’s get our kid up at 5am…get them ready and yourself put together and ready…off to bus stop 645am then clock in to work for rounds by 7am! Stay until the job is done. 330, 430, 5 or 6……give report to on coming shift, then get home and make dinner! Sleep and the repeat. Massives are FOS!
Ya right? These people don't even get up early in the morning. I've seen many many vlogs where they comment that Abbie sleeps until like 10or 11 most mornings and Asa always says it's bcuz Abbie stays up so late. But Abbie depends on them to go to sleep at night she doesn't put herself to sleep. This family is the epitome of lazy and now she's starting to really gain weight. Not surprised since it seems she always wants to eat and they stuff her full of it. All processed and junk food and sweets. I get it's ok sometimes but everyday? They clearly don't care about her being healthy and always pass it off that she's just a typical teenager. No sorry Asa she's not. They are 100% responsible for the way she eats since they are the ones feeding it to her. She doesn't go and buy this crap herself. Yes teenagers like junk food and will often buy themselves treats, but Abbie isn't going out buying the junk, they stuff her full of it. Sadly by the time she is 18 she will most likely be pretty overweight if this continues. And it's not just that they feed her a lot, it's how much and what they feed her. I swear every vlog I see if them there is always a clip of them eating or going through the drive thru for donuts or getting ice cream or chick filet or Chipotle. It's never eating something healthy.
@@christinarodriguez7843 agree! And typical teen? BS...most teens are pretty cognizant of their diet especially if they are serious dancers(as mine) and/or athletes. Yes they like junk food but I think they like to have a say in healthy stuff they eat. I'm frequently running to grocery store for yogurts and different fruits that she wants packed in her lunch. I understand not all teens are health conscience but when they are 100% responsible for her diet, they should be ashamed. She eats like shit. Processed foods, take out several times a week. Sugary dunkin drinks etc..they are lazy. He always says he shows us what he wants. Then show us what a happy healthy family does. For God sake, why don't you walk your dogs daily...show that!!! My 12 lb Chihuahua walks with me daily...lives for that walk. I can't imagine Mav and Sandy NOT wanting daily walks. Ugh, they are Lazy Humans!
All her mom talks about is that junk she sales on the back of Abigail. Her mom doesn't care about Abigail Asa is the only the only person who helps Abigail with her personal care. She needs to get off her high horse.
I suspected Asa and Priscilla were taking Abbie out of school, and put her in the camper, to prop up the Travel Maass channel. As if they weren't making enough money with their Selfie World business. Shameful. I have a disabled child, and the State didn't allow my son to leave the public school system until he was 22 years old. After he aged out-- got too old to be in the public school system, he went right into a day hab. Abbie should be allowed to have that; not be shoved into a camper all summer.
She has going to a private school, though. It s an excellent one for those with autism. Possibly the best in Florida. They are doing her ANOTHER huge disservice by pulling her out early!
Why was the state even involved with your child - it's none of their business if you choose to not use institutional "education" or not. My kids have never set foot in a school and never will - traveling is very educational, it can provide real life experiences that schools can only dream of providing.
Most of it Is Assumptions And Speculation. These Videos Even Drive People to Call CPS to their home For no Reason. Little Stuff Like She Was Ledt by the pool In The Video but they Did See Cilla There So They Assumed She Was Being Neglected. It's Weird and Kinda Scary To See People So Invested on separating a mute Disabled child From Her Parents For ASSUMPTIONS. 😳
I’m a teacher with nine years of experience and a Masters degree. I make about $54,000 a year. Abbie probably has multiple respite workers. Some of those may be students that are studying behavioral science. Usually someone with Abbie’s diagnosis would get respite 2-3 times a week. She would also have in home therapy 2-3 times a week. I imagine what they are trying to do is find a new “Wednesday” person and they probably want someone that is studying ABA therapy… I’ll also say - I agree with you about doing the best for your kid. I am a public school teacher - but my child attended a local private school. It was expensive and we whe t without vacations and new cars, and all the good stuff in order to pay for our daughter to have a strong foundation of education. I feel that I give a good quality education to my students and I think public schools are often filled with great teachers. Still - my daughters largest class was 15. My largest class is 36. I paid for her small class size because I truly believe smaller class sizes will improve this country’s academics. (Sorry I ranted…)
She is not bragging. Coming from a mom of seven, I worked nights and my husband days just to afford private education. We sacrificed to achieve what we thought was best for them. They always had what they needed, not always what they wanted. They are now grown to all be productive adults i am proud to call my children.
I work for a program that works closely with CPS. Our CPS program has to follow up, in person, with every call. Even the calls that are obviously made out of spite. I'm not a CPS agent so obviously I don't know if they actually do go to every call but that is the state guideline.
Perhaps their “case” that they “won” with the school district ended at the end of elementary? They’ve been planning on pulling her out since the last IEP meeting. Not a good educational solution for Abbie.
I remember them saying the lawsuit only paid for a certain amount of time and that time was coming soon…uggghhh, they need to pay for her to go to school!
I watched the latest video that Asa uploaded just today. I noticed there seems to be a big disconnect between Cilla and Abby. Abby is not feeling well, and Cilla just seems to be uninterested with taking care of her daughter!! They cajoled Abby into getting in the pool with them. The child was SICK!! She needs to be in bed and taken care of by her parents, not bullied into getting in the swimming pool!! Update - to all the comments below, please point out where I said they were bad parents or bad people! Go ahead…I’ll wait. I was commenting on ONE video that I had seen that day! No where in my comment can you find that I said what you all are accusing me of! I was “judging” the situation, not their character or their parenting!
You mean every parent doesn't leave their vomiting child out in the hot Florida sun by the pool so they can hose off the vomit? I mean why keep her inside in the air conditioning with trashcans to barf in? Oh...she might vomit on Priscillas precious couches and "decor". We know she would not allow that. They kept Abbie out there ALL day! Feeding her watermelon and not one of them had a clue how to care for a vomiting child. Priscilla can not be bothered with Abbie when she's well. She sure doesn't want anything to do with her sick. The scene with her in the pool with Abbie was staged for the fake mothering could be seen by the leg humpers. The truth is, if Abbie vomited it would be easy to clean off everyone in the pool. They are deplorable sacks of shit.
As a parent of am adult child with a disability. Parenting a child who never grows up fully, is hard and sometimes we want or need someone else to step in. I haven't seen anything in dad's vlog that concerns me.
Asa has admitted that they are those people that had little growing up but now that they can afford things, they don’t deprive themselves. I forgot to say in my earlier today comment that people that you used to see all the time, you haven’t seen in years or rarely hear about like the Nrazees, Wee family amd Kaitlynn - supposedly Cilla’s NFF.
Don’t let Asa fool you. It is highly unlikely the vlog Asa claims prompted a CPS call is actually the one that did it. Instead, check out the “Mother’s Day” vlog, from 2 wks ago, titled, “You Got This Under Control?” In the Mother’s Day video Asa leaves Abbie alone in the pool floating on the dock, while he goes inside to clean the kitchen. There was no camera pointed at the pool to watch her. And, the door leading to the backyard is not only closed, but we see later that it was locked as well. So Abbie was alone and out of earshot for a time. It is more likely than not this video irked a lot of viewers.
Seriously I don't think it's the video of Abby being outside in the pool by herself. I think it's more of when Priscilla left Abby in the 🚗 while she made such a production of retrieving the laptop that Abby threw out the window. That was the most dangerous thing that has happened
They had 16 years to learn from her therapist to know what to do my son is 5 I watch and learn therapy don’t stop when the therapist leaves it’s life for us parents of nonverbal autism children they are her parents parents of normal kids are teachers to that what you do as a parent you teach it just different with our special kiddos
I think it has something to do with the scholarship, they were using the McKay. This year FES-UA scholarship has merged with McKay, it would pay for her current school but also supports homeschool. They get to have a ton more control of the funds. It will pay for an amazing number of things and services and last until graduation or 22.
Interesting. I’m not from FL so I didn’t know of these changes. If they could really use the McKay money to provide home schooling that would worry me immensely! They don’t have a plan or a teacher with specialized training. This is not good.
Dunkin’ Donuts is only good if you like your coffee super sweet (which i used to so it was my favorite place) I’ll still go from time to time but moreso when I’m in the mood for really sweet coffee
If you watch Priscilla I honestly don't think she's very smart .I'm not being mean. She doesn't ever have the words to carry on a conversation about her own daughter but put her in front of a mirror and camera and she's all chatty as can be. She knows how to peddle make up and cook and that's about it. I think that along with just plain laziness are the reasons she says she can't teach Abbie. As far as taking Abbie out of school that could be that it takes time away from them going to Dunkin and going out to eat if they have to drive her back and forth to school. Sadly her and Asa seem to keep gaining weight and now all the junk food they show Abbie eating is packing the pounds on her also. Abbie loves to eat so naturally she's going to keep eating whatever they serve her healthy or not.
The birth person resents Abbie. She never bonded with her and she herself has admitted to "not being a nurturer" and has zero patience with sick people and the vulnerable. She's deplorable.
Josh , to this day I talk about the video you did about Abby and her creepy fans. As a mom & a mom of a son on the spectrum, what you uncovered scared the s**t out of me for Abby…That was just so so scary. If I was them I would’ve had her off social media as soon as I knew. Ugh they make me so mad 😡
@@Emily-ld8sk I actually ended up putting my grandson’s pictures on private because they’re 2 and 2 months on my Facebook and IG. My son on the spectrum is 23 so more can see his pictures, but mostly friends and family. I have few on my Instagram of him and my other 2 adult children. Josh , really opened my eyes when it comes to just posting pictures bc of all the nasty pedo’s!! I agree, how can they be okay with putting Abby in danger!? I know Asia seen Josh’s videos or know’s how creepy those fans are!? I’m sorry but no money will ever be more important than my family’s safety!! I remember when we finally got good internet ( not dial up anymore lol ) and I had my 1st laptop, I was finally able to do my own research on autism. My son was born in 98 and we had to be his advocate to get his diagnosis which finally happened when he was around 11yrs old. We didn’t have hardly any resources in my area att and we didn’t know other parents with kid’s on the spectrum , so I might of looked for a channel like fathering autism back then. Fortunately they had forum’s and Facebook groups to talk to other parents about it. So I think fathering autism still could have the channel and do well without Abby ( but Abby brings in the $). Not that I’d watch him,but I know my son looks up channels about autism or looks up others on the spectrum. They know they can make it as a channel without Abby , but they’re selfish and it brings them so much more money than they’d make without her. It makes me sick!!
Abby’s parents are putting a big target on her it’s makes me nervous for her they don’t think about her safety just how much money they can make off of her if they are doing this for her Future all the money should go in the bank for her not on house cars and trip for them it’s abbys money
They’ve become about $$$$ and arrogant narcissism. They can’t handle doing the full-time care, irrespective of their income-generating commitments or fun adventures. Honestly, their daughter’s needs and behaviors would wear down any one person trying to do even half-time care.
Seriously! I agree 10,000%. The worst part, in my opinion, is that Asa & Priscilla constantly drag Abbie to Dunkin Donuts meet-&-greets with her "fans," & they force her to take pictures with these people & even hug them -- all the while knowing that she cannot consent to any of it. She literally cannot speak. Her communication skills are extremely, EXTREMELY limited. There is no way for her to tell her parents "I really don't feel like doing a meet-&-greet today" or "Hey, these people are making me extremely uncomfortable, please don't make me hug these strangers anymore." The way Asa & Priscilla exploit her is absolutely heartbreaking to me. They parade her around like she's a goddamn show pony & not a human being. Is that not the freaking textbook definition of child exploitation? I mean, come on now -- what else would you call that?! Considering how gross & creepy some of her "fans" are, I'm honestly shocked & disgusted that her parents still make her do these meet-&-greets. It's vile.
Isn’t structure and routine VERY important with autistic people? I’m not seeing any type of structure or routine at all in Abby’s life. My heart breaks for her. I have a feeling she understands way more than they give her credit for.
I’m sure it’s even more important for kids with autism. Children thrive on routine even if they don’t understand why you’re making them do certain things when they are young. I can only imagine how upside down Abbie must feel without being able to know what her days should look like.
@@MrsEyes512 people with autism are really smart actually. However, I also know Abby has another disorder of some sort as well. Also, being more severe, that's questionable..
Calling/involving cps in situations like this is such a double edged sword…yes, it’s good someone knows what’s going on in regards to exploitati*n in homes like this and Danielle Cohn, but, if they were taken away by cps, they could very likely be placed in a much, MUCH worse home. SA, for example runs rampant within this system and Abbie and Danielle would be the “perfect victim” for that kind of thing considering what they’ve already been through. As idiotic as Asa is, he is right about a worker maybe having a bad day or paperwork could slip through the cracks, many kids have been taken away for much less and never given back due to cps negligence. The system here is beyond f’ed.
My ex use to call cps so much on me because he was mad I left him to the point cps began to see his name they would still drop by but that was it in and out
As an ex DCS worker. In my state, DCS has to show up within 24 hours for special needs kids, especially nonverbal ones because they are so vulnerable... It's considered priority 1. Yes you can put a chipotle button on the talker. My kid has McDonald's on hers. She didn't get it every time she asks though (in my family).
What I do not understand is with all the money they make why do they need a scholarship for money to pay for a teacher for home school when there are other families out there who do not have the money to pay out of pocket for this. I took my son out of school but I had to have it signed off on by the school and a plan in place before I could so I just do not get it.
Complaining about Mondays while living everyday like it's Sunday, everyday is basically their off day 😒 And all off the back of their disabled child, that's pretty gross.
Sales are not profit Josh. I sell on Amazon and have sold almost $250,000 in 12 months, but my take home after expenses is on average 20% of my sales. I then have to pay taxes on the take home number.
@The Dad Challenge Podcast at one point you said that CPS (or DCPS/DCF) doesn't unjustifiably take children away... but they do because I too am disabled and was taken from my home for 11 days. My social worker took a personal vendetta against my parents, lying to the judge, falsifying evidence &/or cherry picking medical facts (recommendations). Yes, I would say that DCF does do good work in some cases BUT there are situations where physically abled people have a preconceived notion as to how "easy" it is to live a challenged life. Often times we tow the line of how closely we follow a doctors orders because sometimes their recommendations can negatively effect the rest of my body. For example, if I drink 8 cups of water a day my kidneys will hurt and water will collect at my feet. So I have to drink about 4 to balance between 'dehydrated' and 'drowning". It's just a fact that non medical people (DCF social workers) just DONT understand.
My parents had CPS called on me, for riding my bike in a dead end street…it wasn’t even me! But my parents had to take off work and take me out of school. And they didn’t even have correct kid! Do I look like I have blonde hair? Nope! Not even the correct age, but they had to come out for that.
I don’t like to make judgment on a family I don’t truly know, but if they are on the one hand posting that they’ve just passed a million in sales, and they are really making a lot of money from YT, they should be able to afford a good quality, proper education solution. Can they just sell the motorbike and the RV to fund the solution for a year. They talk about taking care of their daughter’s future, but they seem to forget that the present moment is just as important as tomorrow.
Except that unfortunately CPS will stop at your house first. Unless it is a case of serious neglect and abuse, cps schedules appointments to meet with you. So they will keep that appointment and then follow up with the family of kids who are truly in danger. It’s sick. Cps is a seriously flawed and broken system
I follow Isaiah because his photography is actually pretty good for an amateur... I am now seeing that they are posting that Abbie has graduated high school. That is not the case at all! They took her out of school because her school schedule did not fit their lifestyle anymore. I really hope that they get some specialists in there that can really help Abbie because she is capable of much more than they give her the opportunity to show.
I always thought it was because the school frock legal action to stop them from filming at the school which I suspect affect’s their revenue stream. They barely talk about school events like a prom or the flounder pounder. From what I know about Asa that makes sense because he doesn’t like being told no.
@@PostcardCathy I think Josh said that they sued the school and it might have been because they were filming so much at her school, which is a special school, but the school might have also spoken up about their concerns, especially when Priscilla dropped off Abbie with her face covered in blood from a bloody nose and then just left because she was "in a hurry."
@@AliAngelpie haven’t watched this video yet and haven’t really been keeping up with the masses but I thought the school they sued was a public school before the current school that is specifically for special needs children and stuff. Did they also sue this “new” school?
@@AliAngelpie they sued the public school district when Abbie was like 5 or 6 because they basically were warehousing her. I’m talking about JSA doing something like getting a restraining order to stop them from filming or other parents pressuring them because there is always a chance that they or their kids might get a second or two of scewwntime because for example the kid might walk through the frame as they film.
22:35 this is an incredibly uniformed perspective. i used to work at a swimming centre where we facilitated classes for children with special needs and many could swim - and swim well - but could not go to the bathroom by themselves. the thing is that even if a given individual with additional needs technically CAN go to the bathroom by themselves, it doesn't necessarily mean that they can clean themselves to the degree that is needed. hygiene is not something you can slack on for the sake of "independence" and doing so can result in legitimate health concerns. also swimming is something that many children with additional needs absolutely love - especially those with sensory processing disorders (which are common with autism). but yes, i agree that showing all of this is very unnecessary
Absolutely agree! My son is not verbal and would spend all day in the pool and would have accidents here in there going to the bathroom. He CAN go to the bathroom by himself, but needs help to wipe. I never gravitated to Fathering autism, because he is exploiting Abby. 😒
I get your point. I also wanted to add that she is locked in her room at night so that's why Asa said she woke him up. She has a pull up but probably didn't want to use it or wanted the attention since she doesn't sleep much.
I GUARANTEE that Asa and Priscilla have a BAD REPUTATION amongst the local PROFESSIONAL community and NOONE will deal with them... THAT is why they are "advertising" out of the professional "pool"... *GUARANTEE* 🇺🇸
Good point. I would love to know how true this is. I also know that they are very 'frugal' even though they have to keep up with the joneses.... I also think that they are having a very hard time because their #1 criteria is most likely agreeing to be vlogged.
I can tell you as someone who lives in their community, and can't speak on the "professional level" of how things are. I can speak on the type of people, which is something that will push the community away. I myself was looking for some resources for my daughter that I knew they could probably provide due to their knowledge and platform. Cilla read it and totally ignored me. I did let her know days later I thought they were more caring than that... Oh believe me she THEN responded (still with no help) but to basically tell me her family was too busy to answer things like this. Hahaha They have no problem taking "time" to reply to all the negative comments. They aren't too tired for that!
It's word hotter he barely looks at the camera while he's addressing his watchers. People who can't give eye to eye contact while speaking, I do not trust. They know how they are going about it is wrong.
I can't stand them but to judge based off eye contact is ableism 🤢 considering their daughter is profoundly autistic and it's hereditary he could very likely be on the spectrum.
There is No way the CPS official said anything about another Case. They are sworn to confidentiality or they could get fired..He is saying that for sympathy!!! Gross
Well, I am right now having fun and enjoying my more or less free time.. because I know next week I will have a translation project for 2 months nonstop! The rest time I try to build my blog and stress when affiliate sales do not go so good. So nope- I do not relate to their Mondays when they go for coffee and breakfast!
You know what I think? I think jsa cut ties with them due to no progress from abbie and instead of them admitting that abbie will not progress they are forcing the homeschooling thing. They also spend all of their money on everything but abbie. Lauren brazee always says she would love to move but her daughter's schools us amazing and its paid tuition
These people's priorities are WAY off. A trip for themselves ,in their extremely expensive RV, is more important than finding education for Abbie?? They are trying to find a person to be what Summer was which is not what a professional teacher would do. STOP spending money on expensive materialistic shit and pay for your daughter's education!!! Uuuuggghhh
All you have to say to me is "MLM" and your lack of character is revealed! He is such a liar! Unfortunately, my husband and I had to deal with CPS when our daughter fell and got a hairline fracture as a toddler. This guy is so dramatic and attention seeking. CPS officers barely speak....let alone speaking on other cases.
I feel like these people are big liars they say they’re trying to teach everyone about autism but they can’t teach their own daughter they put themselves in the situation wtf
They don't even know about autism, they know basically stereotypes. I teach parents why their children think and behave in such ways, I share with them the biological and neurological differences, like how the variation of the development of the amygdala is why autistic people have a heightened sense of anxiety.
Looking back at old DCP videos are the best!!!!
Why would people get upset over saying 'special needs,' they need to learn that they need special needs that most people don't need.
jamieerickson,
Because claiming they’re ‘special needs’ is ableist language, describing them as inferior people.
I’ve always watched family vloggers (my escape, i’m from a very dysfunctional family - seeing their highlights was like “ahh nice families do exist”) and I didn’t see the exploitation side of family vlogging until your videos.
I totally value your content, it’s so eye opening and you really do only advocate for the children. It’s too bad not everyone is willing to see the family vlogs/content for what it is, as well as being more careful. There are soooo many (too many unfortunately) predators and creeps.
Keep doing what you’re doing!
Same here. I watched for the same reasons. He has definitely opened my eyes to child exploitation!
Yeah..i fell for them at first too, because of abbey, ❤ then i found out from ppl posts, asa got a girl pregnant..before percilla came along.
The story goes us, he dosent speak of it, i read that he didnt...dosent help the child n mom in anyway, i texted him, brought this shit up to him...all he gloated about was..like...I BUY HOUSES..I TAKE CARE OF M Y FAMILY..I BUY ABBEY EVERYTHING...BLAH BLAH BLAH,,,STILL WONT ADMIT IT..
A good friend of mine is a single Mom...with stage 4 breast cancer..going through chemo and radiation with a 10 year old nonverbal autistic daughter. She can't work between her illness and caring for her little girl. Watching her makes me so angry at this family. They stress about dealing with their kid...they don't even know the meaning of stress in my opinion.
They don’t know how lucky they all and should be appreciative to what they have got.
Is there anyway to donate to her?
I’m so sorry about your friend, you sound like an amazing friend and I’m thinking of her 🙏 Living with chronic illnesses and several chronic pain syndromes is hard , that’s with my husband. But Your friend is my hero because I know what it takes to be an autism parent let alone all the stuff she is battling…I honestly can’t imagine. These ppl here make me sick & they have no clue what it’s really like to be that stressed. Your friend is truly in my heart ♥️
@@amandaford864 that’s so sweet 🥹
That aboutsly horrible what's happened to your friend... but that like say no one around you can be stress because you know someone who's worst off. That toxic in itself.
Selling 1 million dollars in makeup for an MLM means that she made approximately $1.67. 😂
Malignant narcissists who are making choices leading to systematic increasing obesity of their seriously cognitively impaired daughter. Their daughter also has an eating compulsion, and is a behavioral handful a lot of the time.
albussnape2,
The eating compulsion is the result of ABA, autistic adults kept warning them one of the after effects of ABA is reward obsession. They kept rewarding Abbie food with ABA and she’s now obsessed with food.
As a foster mother in the states I agree with using caution when calling CPS. We can barely get basic resources for our foster kiddos. Therapeutic and special needs foster homes are completely maxed out in capacity in my state, where kids are being placed in hotels. Of course resources and homes are state dependent, and unfortunately, our state is small and low on resources. Kiddos coming into our home are severely traumatized, in which being moved into a foster home adds more trauma. They've placed kids back with parents failing drug tests because they deemed the parent still able to care for their child under the influence. There's such a shortage of resources and homes in our state that they have lowered the bar for children's care.
I also see a lot of people assuming Asa was lying about CPS having a more dire case. While he could be lying, unfortunately we've had a caseworker break case confidentiality before. One of our monthly visits was delayed because the caseworker said she had to focus on a runaway before she could get to us. It happens. The system is not perfect at all.
I really hope one of these days Josh could do a video on CPS/foster system in general. It has a lot of issues that really needs to be addressed.
Unfortunately that Doesn't bring in views Like making parents into villains and getting people to call CPS on them more. 😕
@@lowkib3201 it’s not making them into villains he’s telling the truth. They are exploiting their daughter to make money they have no jobs they’re not a normal family. All they do is buy stuff for themselves, and Abby gets donuts and an iPad …if your child cannot give consent to be filmed its wrong.
When I used to call out Pigcilla on Facebook about building the MLM off of Abi back, she would get so freaking mad. It was hilarious.
Horrible person her name is Priscilla not Pigcilla. People are horrible on this horrible dcp channel. He's a bully 😤
@@JennyGrausamActually, she has all kinds of names. Pigcilla, Percillerpotamus, The Beast, Twatty the Tubberson. Big P, Mama Sow. Take your pick.
@@bigpbullwinklejr.6285crying
@user-cz8kz1dh9i 😅😅😅. No he's not.
What I don’t understand is why don’t they just quit being on camera. Live a normal life. I believe you love the attention for yourselves. You could survive without 75 different wreaths, and holiday decor! You just flaunt everything that you have. Maybe everyday people are struggling and get sick of seeing it! Concentrate on a normal off camera life with Abbie! I don’t think you can put her first, you love the money and the attention too much!!!!
They go on about how there is no way either of them want the job of teaching Abby full time then saying that it would be an easy job only having one student. If they think it's that easy why don't they do it themselves or realise that a lot of teachers like myself would prefer many students over being in the child's home having everything you do judged by the parents.
I agree a hundred percent everytime someone comes to work with Abby Asa has to be right there enterfering with what the worker I trying to help Abby.
As a mom of a severely autistic son, I can assure you that CPS in my state has to make a visit even if the report is anonymous.
I had it happen to me when my son is taken care of in every way, more than normal developing children whose parents drop them off at a park for hours without supervision.
They suck in the US, period, and definitely don't go to every call. Disabled kids get bumped up the priority list, though.
@@littlekitsune1 they make kids with special needs a priority because they make more for the system.
The CPS and importance should be made by looking at differences in their parent's and parents' behavior and mental state, not the children's state! Period!
In America a lot of CPS & CYS cases get ignored.
Today (5-29) a new video was posted called Sick Sucks and it is really rough. Please watch the first 10-15 seconds of the video where Abbie is dosing off on the patio and Asa leaves her there ALONE and walks into the house, closes the door behind him and continues to film. After all the complaining about CPS last week, they should see this video. Why would a sick child be left alone outside beside a swimming pool? She had been awake for a couple of nights and could have wandered right into the pool!!! She could have had a seizure or any number of things.
“All they do is cook and eat…” oh Josh, you are giving them WAY too much credit 😅you have got to cover Isaiah’s new video, it is SO rich
Good to see you going strong Josh!!!
I am a parent of a son with special/extra needs, and I have been accused of exploiting him on social media. I have a small following on FB and TT, and have shared our lives for years for many reasons, so when someone said this to me I initially got really offended and assumed the person just didnt 'get it'. SO MUCH of my life is my son, so it made sense that most of my videos included my son. After really thinking about it I have changed some things about my content, and I think any loving parent would do the same.
My son is almost 27 and he actually can consent now, (and may have a female fan or two at his day program) but I definitely went back through and watched everything through a different lens. We have created some huge monsters by paying these people so much money, I hope this is the turning point and things will continue to change.
I am so very happy to read your story and although it is a bit bad that people gave you so much backlash but sometimes it is needed to make people see what they are doing to us.
Abby is actually not giving consent in many diffrent ways. From shaking her head “no” to pushing away the camera.
There are kids(some are now adult) that now speak up when their family has exploited them by living in a van and filming every day. Or non speaking kids that type and tell that way that it was a hell with parents that put everything online.
I was pushed to speak and not have my own pace which actually cut into my ability to speak now. Im 32 and i am thankfull to live in the netherlands and there is (nearly) no access to ABA. That would have crushed me as it has crushed many others.
Thank you for being mindfull about what you put online and what you dont.
We are just humans with a different need of support then others. :)
For your son sake please delete. I know you probably think you are so amazing and that everyone needs to know what an amazing job you’re doing but please stop. It’s the most heartbreaking thing my mom has ever done to us. Is post my struggles online for everyone and colleagues and neighbors to see. You know he holds guilt but your son cannot help it. Please stop sharing his every struggle.”he can give consent now” no. And as an autistic person I would never want to disappoint my caregiver/mother by telling her to delete all her memories. You have to do the right thing now.
These people are so disillusioned that they are somehow going to teach Abby how to live an independent life. They feel as though the schools were not giving her enough life skills and they can do it better. It’s unrealistic and Abby is the one who has to suffer.
I agree completely. Abbie's parents need a MAJOR reality check, especially if they still think there's ANY realistic chance of Abbie living independently someday. That is clearly NEVER going to happen. Abbie seems like a great kid, don't get me wrong, but her intellectual disabilities are EXTREMELY profound. She has to be constantly prompted to do anything & everything, or else she gets distracted & wanders off. This is clearly a child that will need full-time 24-7 care for her entire life.
Asa & Priscilla make so much money off their TH-cam channel, they could easily afford to hire some of the best professionals in the field to come teach Abbie & give her a truly world-class education -- but they don't. Instead, they spend all that money on things for themselves -- cars, real estate, fancy electronics, vacations, an RV, etc., etc. Abbie's needs always, ALWAYS come last for these people. And that's what bothers me the most about the Fathering Autism channel. They should honestly be ashamed of themselves.
Having basic life skills is very important. Having some ability to contribute to home activities is also obviously important.
What does "having some ability to contribute to home activities" mean?
Abbie does not know how to use the bathroom. She knows how to ASK for the bathroom. It’s one of her very limited vocabulary. She wears pull ups. I think she just goes into the bathroom because it’s a small, safe, and comforting place but she just stands there.
She can use the bathroom on her own during the day. The reason she has to wake her parents up is because she's locked in her room at night via baby gate and other locks that she can't figure out. And as u said, she wears pull ups at night with her backwards pajamas.
I do just want to call out, to Josh's entire family vlogger point, is something that I shouldn't know.... But do. 🤷🏻♀️😳 And THAT is why people shouldn't exploit their kids online!!!🙀🤔🙀🤔 I know way too much about their family!
I despise them. 100% CPS has been called hundreds of times - there’s a reason why they showed up this time.
I followed this family for awhile and I started getting a bad feeling about them. It makes me so sad for Abbie. Asa is so freaking cocky. I can’t stand hearing him talk.
I hate the sound of Asa's voice too Asa I very cocky he thinks he is KIng S^^t so annoying totally agree with that about him 😂
Same here
I know , i know . Abbeys so, so sweet n innocent.
He does claim...abbey will be well taken care of, if something should ever happen to the parents, thats great, the son will be helping her through the years, himself .
Same here
Oooh wow I was wondering how you felt about them. I am a new subscriber. Great job!
Hahaha about the chipotle button, yes she does. There’s an entire page of fast food on her iPad
We plan on homeschooling our kids BUT if I have a special need where they can get the services they need in a public school I’ll put them in the best place for them in a heartbeat.
It never occurred to me, but maybe they took her out of school because Isiah went off to college and Abby was at school all day, so where is the daily content? I now think was so they could have consistent content. All the people left…Isiah, Becky, Summer, Crazy Nanny. Always wondered what would happen after Isiah was gone. How would they fill the void? Having Abby home all helps with content.
What type of "life skills" do you people think Abbie will learn exactly?
She's 18-24 months old mentally.
How many toddlers do any of you know that has life skills and holds a job?
None.
How do you know how old she is mentally?
@@rachaelreynolds6975 Asa has said it and I have had children. It's easy to watch Abbies behaviors and see this.
I think she can learn some self care skills and such but she’ll likely always need assistance. She can still learn things though it’ll just take more repetition. I think it’s hard to say she’s mentally however many months because she still has the extra years of life experience plus it’s hard to know what she might understand but not be able to communicate.
@@c.swinford8283 nope. You're wrong. She's profoundly ID and has no ability to reason. Her parents are lazy af and at age 17 she hasn't been taught to even use the bathroom. Her father stated her mental age a few times but they are in such denial that it's not really discussed at length. She understands as much as any young toddler under the age of 2. That will never change.
How do you know she is 18-24 months old mentally?
I agree with a lot of what you say, but I have to say something here. My husband and I took care of our son for 28 years. He passed away on April 4th. We didn't have a normal life. Special needs parents DONT have normal lives. I would ask that you please don't judge what is normal for you and normal for us...
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your son was very fortunate to have two parents that loved and took care of him. And I’m sure he brought you much joy. You and your family are in my 🙏🏻❤️
I’m so so sorry for your loss. Praying for you & your family. It sounds like your son had the best of the best for parents. My heart goes out to you both 🤍
Yes, this. We have two kids with additional needs (one severely medically fragile and one on the Spectrum). Our life is far from normal and will never be normal. People who don’t live this life do not get it. I don’t agree with the way this family exploits Abigail. There are a lot of things that they do that I don’t agree with. However we don’t know all of what goes on in their home, and I can tell you from experience parenting a child with needs like Abigail’s is exhausting.
Asa sounds drunk in this video. He seems like he is slurring and rambling.
You are so right Josh CPS does not have to show up. My grandchildren are in foster care today because the father died and the mother ran away. I called CPS I went personally to the office they never did make a call to the home. The first time they went to the home was one of my little three-year-old grandson climbed out on the roof of a three-story home and the police were called. That's when they got involved. He is doing everything you explained in your video. They need to watch what they're filming. And I agree Abby doesn't need to be taken away from them.
Why are you assuming that the reporting parties are from YT and not from neighbors or former teachers? Just curious.
You’re assuming that he’s being honest about what the call was about or did they show some proof from CPS as to what the investigation is about?
Children services CAN NOT BY LAW tell you who and why they were called! He's straight up lying!!
That's not true. I called on my own sister over my nieces and they told her it was me and that I live in Hawaii. (She lives in Tennessee and I'm the only one she knows here so...)

@@eighthdoctor why are you so bothered about it.
This is such a shock because they speak so good about that school.
Nahhh. CPS cases are triaged by level of urgency. Can 100% guarantee she did not decide to stop at their house first then proceed to wait around for Abbie before going to a more “dire” case. Nice try though.
Here’s the thing he made a video saying Abby didn’t know how to get off that float by herself. If she decided to - cement is dangerous. When she did surfing for autism she would just get off in the middle of a surf. If not for someone catching her - I don’t know what would happen. He’s so arrogant and hypocritical.
They're lightweight alcoholics so how do you think that that helps Abby at all when her parents are drinking a lot of the time.
I just saw a video of their bar, dang!!! All kinds of bottles
Lightweight? 😅😅😅 nothing Lightweight about them.
My cousin’s child has autism and is nonverbal. It is A LOT OF WORK. She is also a single mom and has NEVER used respite.
I’d like to know how often people come in and clean their house and cut their grass.
I know for a fact that the CPS worker shouldn’t have said anything about any other case period! My cousin is a social worker and this is something they’re not allowed to say. 🤦🏻♀️
I don’t think she said it in the context he said. He would have said I’m sure your busy with more pressing cases and she probably just agreed.
My son went to JSA and we would see them all the time. Constantly with a camera in their hand and never living in the moment with their kids. It was bizarre. They were treated like major celebrities at that school. The school is also so money crazy it was ridiculous, that’s why we left.

I don't know if they still do this, cause they've not shown it in ages, and I haven't really watched anything recently, but they used to put her pjs on backwards, like zip up ones, so she couldn't take them off at night cause I guess she was smearing feces or something would be my guess. So she would probably need help to go to the bathroom in that case, if they are still putting her in the zip up pajamas on backwards. Again, though, that was years ago I saw a video about that. So she may not wear those to bed nowadays.
I think they said she pulled the pad apart.
I live in the UK and because safeguarding would not allow the kind of putting on pyjamas back to front to stop the picking, purchasing washable pads was the answer . Seems to me they don’t want her to have any independence.
Yes lol there actually is a chipotle button. I have seen her press it many times in past videos.
First parent: it’s the easiest job. Who wants that job?
Second parent: clearly not us.
LOL.
Here in the state of Pennsylvania in a little town called Hermitage Pa if CYS gets a call they have to show up to every call
I am not a big fan of theirs in anyway, but I need to add that it is not unusual for severely autistic people to not be able to toilet themselves. My son who is 25 still cannot wipe after a BM. I also have to bathe him, shave him, cut his hair, etc. I wish everyone had to spend some time with a severely autistic child and the family, especially doctors. As far as supported living goes, it is not a walk in the park. The people who these agencies hire have no experience, just like respite workers. You, as the parent, have to spend weeks and months training and then they leave. Respite workers are not easy to find, depending on the needs of your child.
I get that, but as someone who has done this, can you see that In Abby? Honestly. I feel like they don't want to work with her to give her the freedoms... they are lazy it cannot be denied.
@@thedcp imagine If she had the ability to say no to being filmed and they didn't listen they might lose their channel and they don't want to miss out on the extra money by not having the channel.
If they were willing to invest - emotionally and financially, Abby would definitely be thriving. Autistic people aren't broken, they just need more help. I refuse to believe that people with their fame and budget can't find a good respite worker.
@@littlekitsune1 they are just lazy and don't want to take the time to find a respite worker so they just use TH-cam to find one aa its less work for them.
@@sethmishne Yep.
Josh. I just wanted to say....you have a way of covering even really gross material without making me feel massively depressed. I really appreciate that. The world is non stop bad news right now and I’m already going through a depressive episode. I can barely watch anything I normally watch right now. So thanks 😊
Josh is teaching us a lesson about exploiting kids because it’s gross and disgusting what I like about Josh is that he’s the only one that looks out for everyone on here including his fans on her because he’s teaching us a valuable lesson because these TH-camrs don’t give a dam they love exploiting kids online for content which is gross and disgusting when I have my first child I will never ever do that ever
My 9yo is non verbal autistic. He do uses the bathroom in his own, but he dont clean his self. I have to clean him, tell him to wash his hands and help him with his clothes.
BUT he does loves swimming and he is able to do it on his own since he was 6yo. Still I Watch him, but he do love swimming, its how we calm him when he’s angry
As a parent of a little boy who has nonverbal autism… this video has me have so many different feelings. I feel like all of this is forced. None of this is relatable to me. We empty our bank account every month to get my son extra speech therapy outside of school.. while I watch this dude complain that he may have to be a teacher for his child, meanwhile his bank account is overflowing from the exploitation of his own kid… none of which goes back to that kid’s education. We spent our ENTIRE savings to move to a state with more resources for our son. We make “too much” to get government help, so everything is on us. It makes me SICK to see someone profit from their child with special needs, and then not give that child everything they deserve.
as someone with autism fathering autism disgusts me and I refuse to watch them take advantage of abbie so they can profit off of her.
CPS can screen out but I think that if the family has multiple contacts before the paper trail needs to happen. Something in the report met the guidelines for a visit
Would never buy makeup or skincare from a woman who’s never heard of sunscreen.
Mondays? Ok Maass’…Let’s get our kid up at 5am…get them ready and yourself put together and ready…off to bus stop 645am then clock in to work for rounds by 7am! Stay until the job is done. 330, 430, 5 or 6……give report to on coming shift, then get home and make dinner! Sleep and the repeat. Massives are FOS!
Ya right? These people don't even get up early in the morning. I've seen many many vlogs where they comment that Abbie sleeps until like 10or 11 most mornings and Asa always says it's bcuz Abbie stays up so late. But Abbie depends on them to go to sleep at night she doesn't put herself to sleep. This family is the epitome of lazy and now she's starting to really gain weight. Not surprised since it seems she always wants to eat and they stuff her full of it. All processed and junk food and sweets. I get it's ok sometimes but everyday? They clearly don't care about her being healthy and always pass it off that she's just a typical teenager. No sorry Asa she's not. They are 100% responsible for the way she eats since they are the ones feeding it to her. She doesn't go and buy this crap herself. Yes teenagers like junk food and will often buy themselves treats, but Abbie isn't going out buying the junk, they stuff her full of it. Sadly by the time she is 18 she will most likely be pretty overweight if this continues. And it's not just that they feed her a lot, it's how much and what they feed her. I swear every vlog I see if them there is always a clip of them eating or going through the drive thru for donuts or getting ice cream or chick filet or Chipotle. It's never eating something healthy.
@@christinarodriguez7843 agree! And typical teen? BS...most teens are pretty cognizant of their diet especially if they are serious dancers(as mine) and/or athletes. Yes they like junk food but I think they like to have a say in healthy stuff they eat. I'm frequently running to grocery store for yogurts and different fruits that she wants packed in her lunch. I understand not all teens are health conscience but when they are 100% responsible for her diet, they should be ashamed. She eats like shit. Processed foods, take out several times a week. Sugary dunkin drinks etc..they are lazy. He always says he shows us what he wants. Then show us what a happy healthy family does. For God sake, why don't you walk your dogs daily...show that!!! My 12 lb Chihuahua walks with me daily...lives for that walk. I can't imagine Mav and Sandy NOT wanting daily walks. Ugh, they are Lazy Humans!
The day Priscilla doesn’t have the phone in her hand will be a cold day in fucking hell.
All her mom talks about is that junk she sales on the back of Abigail. Her mom doesn't care about Abigail Asa is the only the only person who helps Abigail with her personal care. She needs to get off her high horse.
I suspected Asa and Priscilla were taking Abbie out of school, and put her in the camper, to prop up the Travel Maass channel. As if they weren't making enough money with their Selfie World business. Shameful. I have a disabled child, and the State didn't allow my son to leave the public school system until he was 22 years old. After he aged out-- got too old to be in the public school system, he went right into a day hab. Abbie should be allowed to have that; not be shoved into a camper all summer.
Depends on respite care and which state
I have a disability and I got to do a post secondary program from my local high school housed at my local college until I turned 22.
That is exactly right!
She has going to a private school, though. It s an excellent one for those with autism. Possibly the best in Florida. They are doing her ANOTHER huge disservice by pulling her out early!
Why was the state even involved with your child - it's none of their business if you choose to not use institutional "education" or not.
My kids have never set foot in a school and never will - traveling is very educational, it can provide real life experiences that schools can only dream of providing.
Never heard of this family but sure hope they see this video!
Most of it Is Assumptions And Speculation. These Videos Even Drive People to Call CPS to their home For no Reason. Little Stuff Like She Was Ledt by the pool In The Video but they Did See Cilla There So They Assumed She Was Being Neglected. It's Weird and Kinda Scary To See People So Invested on separating a mute Disabled child From Her Parents For ASSUMPTIONS. 😳
If a report is made to CPS they have to investigate they are actually supposed to come
I’m a teacher with nine years of experience and a Masters degree. I make about $54,000 a year.
Abbie probably has multiple respite workers. Some of those may be students that are studying behavioral science. Usually someone with Abbie’s diagnosis would get respite 2-3 times a week. She would also have in home therapy 2-3 times a week. I imagine what they are trying to do is find a new “Wednesday” person and they probably want someone that is studying ABA therapy…
I’ll also say - I agree with you about doing the best for your kid. I am a public school teacher - but my child attended a local private school. It was expensive and we whe t without vacations and new cars, and all the good stuff in order to pay for our daughter to have a strong foundation of education. I feel that I give a good quality education to my students and I think public schools are often filled with great teachers. Still - my daughters largest class was 15. My largest class is 36. I paid for her small class size because I truly believe smaller class sizes will improve this country’s academics.
(Sorry I ranted…)
Hey Gina, try to brag a little harder.
Florida has scholarships
She is not bragging. Coming from a mom of seven, I worked nights and my husband days just to afford private education. We sacrificed to achieve what we thought was best for them. They always had what they needed, not always what they wanted. They are now grown to all be productive adults i am proud to call my children.
@@maddietrafford1225 LMAO that's kinda harsh
.. here Is a theory..
What if he just pointed at a random car saying it was CPS?! ALL for Content?!..
I work for a program that works closely with CPS. Our CPS program has to follow up, in person, with every call. Even the calls that are obviously made out of spite. I'm not a CPS agent so obviously I don't know if they actually do go to every call but that is the state guideline.
Perhaps their “case” that they “won” with the school district ended at the end of elementary? They’ve been planning on pulling her out since the last IEP meeting. Not a good educational solution for Abbie.
I remember them saying the lawsuit only paid for a certain amount of time and that time was coming soon…uggghhh, they need to pay for her to go to school!
I honestly think they took her out of school because they got too lazy to drive her there and pick her up every day!!!!
considerable
I watched the latest video that Asa uploaded just today. I noticed there seems to be a big disconnect between Cilla and Abby. Abby is not feeling well, and Cilla just seems to be uninterested with taking care of her daughter!! They cajoled Abby into getting in the pool with them. The child was SICK!! She needs to be in bed and taken care of by her parents, not bullied into getting in the swimming pool!!
Update - to all the comments below, please point out where I said they were bad parents or bad people! Go ahead…I’ll wait. I was commenting on ONE video that I had seen that day! No where in my comment can you find that I said what you all are accusing me of! I was “judging” the situation, not their character or their parenting!
You mean every parent doesn't leave their vomiting child out in the hot Florida sun by the pool so they can hose off the vomit?
I mean why keep her inside in the air conditioning with trashcans to barf in? Oh...she might vomit on Priscillas precious couches and "decor". We know she would not allow that.
They kept Abbie out there ALL day!
Feeding her watermelon and not one of them had a clue how to care for a vomiting child. Priscilla can not be bothered with Abbie when she's well. She sure doesn't want anything to do with her sick.
The scene with her in the pool with Abbie was staged for the fake mothering could be seen by the leg humpers.
The truth is, if Abbie vomited it would be easy to clean off everyone in the pool.
They are deplorable sacks of shit.
As a parent of am adult child with a disability. Parenting a child who never grows up fully, is hard and sometimes we want or need someone else to step in. I haven't seen anything in dad's vlog that concerns me.
You need to just to keep your nose out of their business they are great parents
@@ally3harkins you obviously have no idea what great parents are. 🙄
They're amazing people. Find a better hobby than judging others.
Asa has admitted that they are those people that had little growing up but now that they can afford things, they don’t deprive themselves.
I forgot to say in my earlier today comment that people that you used to see all the time, you haven’t seen in years or rarely hear about like the Nrazees, Wee family amd Kaitlynn - supposedly Cilla’s NFF.
Here’s another idea.Find respite now and take them on the trip now so there is continuity in Abby’s education
Don’t let Asa fool you. It is highly unlikely the vlog Asa claims prompted a CPS call is actually the one that did it. Instead, check out the “Mother’s Day” vlog, from 2 wks ago, titled, “You Got This Under Control?”
In the Mother’s Day video Asa leaves Abbie alone in the pool floating on the dock, while he goes inside to clean the kitchen. There was no camera pointed at the pool to watch her. And, the door leading to the backyard is not only closed, but we see later that it was locked as well. So Abbie was alone and out of earshot for a time.
It is more likely than not this video irked a lot of viewers.
I hope they loose money I want to watch them suffer 👺👺👺
Seriously I don't think it's the video of Abby being outside in the pool by herself. I think it's more of when Priscilla left Abby in the 🚗 while she made such a production of retrieving the laptop that Abby threw out the window. That was the most dangerous thing that has happened
They had 16 years to learn from her therapist to know what to do my son is 5 I watch and learn therapy don’t stop when the therapist leaves it’s life for us parents of nonverbal autism children they are her parents parents of normal kids are teachers to that what you do as a parent you teach it just different with our special kiddos
I think it has something to do with the scholarship, they were using the McKay. This year FES-UA scholarship has merged with McKay, it would pay for her current school but also supports homeschool. They get to have a ton more control of the funds. It will pay for an amazing number of things and services and last until graduation or 22.
Interesting. I’m not from FL so I didn’t know of these changes. If they could really use the McKay money to provide home schooling that would worry me immensely! They don’t have a plan or a teacher with specialized training. This is not good.
@The Girl That Could they don't need a scholarship they are loaded.
Dunkin’ Donuts is only good if you like your coffee super sweet (which i used to so it was my favorite place) I’ll still go from time to time but moreso when I’m in the mood for really sweet coffee
If you watch Priscilla I honestly don't think she's very smart .I'm not being mean. She doesn't ever have the words to carry on a conversation about her own daughter but put her in front of a mirror and camera and she's all chatty as can be. She knows how to peddle make up and cook and that's about it. I think that along with just plain laziness are the reasons she says she can't teach Abbie. As far as taking Abbie out of school that could be that it takes time away from them going to Dunkin and going out to eat if they have to drive her back and forth to school. Sadly her and Asa seem to keep gaining weight and now all the junk food they show Abbie eating is packing the pounds on her also. Abbie loves to eat so naturally she's going to keep eating whatever they serve her healthy or not.
The birth person resents Abbie. She never bonded with her and she herself has admitted to "not being a nurturer" and has zero patience with sick people and the vulnerable.
She's deplorable.
Yes, there's a section on her iPad with restaurants.
*her favorite restaurants
Josh , to this day I talk about the video you did about Abby and her creepy fans. As a mom & a mom of a son on the spectrum, what you uncovered scared the s**t out of me for Abby…That was just so so scary. If I was them I would’ve had her off social media as soon as I knew. Ugh they make me so mad 😡
as someone with autism I'm disgusted with fathering autism and I hope that they lose their channel.
@@Emily-ld8sk I actually ended up putting my grandson’s pictures on private because they’re 2 and 2 months on my Facebook and IG. My son on the spectrum is 23 so more can see his pictures, but mostly friends and family. I have few on my Instagram of him and my other 2 adult children. Josh , really opened my eyes when it comes to just posting pictures bc of all the nasty pedo’s!!
I agree, how can they be okay with putting Abby in danger!? I know Asia seen Josh’s videos or know’s how creepy those fans are!? I’m sorry but no money will ever be more important than my family’s safety!! I remember when we finally got good internet ( not dial up anymore lol ) and I had my 1st laptop, I was finally able to do my own research on autism. My son was born in 98 and we had to be his advocate to get his diagnosis which finally happened when he was around 11yrs old. We didn’t have hardly any resources in my area att and we didn’t know other parents with kid’s on the spectrum , so I might of looked for a channel like fathering autism back then. Fortunately they had forum’s and Facebook groups to talk to other parents about it. So I think fathering autism still could have the channel and do well without Abby ( but Abby brings in the $). Not that I’d watch him,but I know my son looks up channels about autism or looks up others on the spectrum. They know they can make it as a channel without Abby , but they’re selfish and it brings them so much more money than they’d make without her. It makes me sick!!
Abby’s parents are putting a big target on her it’s makes me nervous for her they don’t think about her safety just how much money they can make off of her if they are doing this for her Future all the money should go in the bank for her not on house cars and trip for them it’s abbys money
They’ve become about $$$$ and arrogant narcissism. They can’t handle doing the full-time care, irrespective of their income-generating commitments or fun adventures.
Honestly, their daughter’s needs and behaviors would wear down any one person trying to do even half-time care.
Seriously! I agree 10,000%. The worst part, in my opinion, is that Asa & Priscilla constantly drag Abbie to Dunkin Donuts meet-&-greets with her "fans," & they force her to take pictures with these people & even hug them -- all the while knowing that she cannot consent to any of it. She literally cannot speak. Her communication skills are extremely, EXTREMELY limited. There is no way for her to tell her parents "I really don't feel like doing a meet-&-greet today" or "Hey, these people are making me extremely uncomfortable, please don't make me hug these strangers anymore." The way Asa & Priscilla exploit her is absolutely heartbreaking to me. They parade her around like she's a goddamn show pony & not a human being. Is that not the freaking textbook definition of child exploitation? I mean, come on now -- what else would you call that?!
Considering how gross & creepy some of her "fans" are, I'm honestly shocked & disgusted that her parents still make her do these meet-&-greets. It's vile.
Isn’t structure and routine VERY important with autistic people?
I’m not seeing any type of structure or routine at all in Abby’s life. My heart breaks for her. I have a feeling she understands way more than they give her credit for.
I’m sure it’s even more important for kids with autism. Children thrive on routine even if they don’t understand why you’re making them do certain things when they are young. I can only imagine how upside down Abbie must feel without being able to know what her days should look like.
Abbie has about as much understanding as an 18-24 month old toddler.
@@MrsEyes512 lol educate yourself before going around saying that
@@Catman18 I heard Asa say it. I'm far more educated than you leghumpers.
@@MrsEyes512 people with autism are really smart actually. However, I also know Abby has another disorder of some sort as well. Also, being more severe, that's questionable..
He only cares about Asa. He don’t care about his other child much less Abbie. Abbie is their food ticket.
What is their explanation for taking her out of school? Now she is going to be even less well-socialized.
Calling/involving cps in situations like this is such a double edged sword…yes, it’s good someone knows what’s going on in regards to exploitati*n in homes like this and Danielle Cohn, but, if they were taken away by cps, they could very likely be placed in a much, MUCH worse home. SA, for example runs rampant within this system and Abbie and Danielle would be the “perfect victim” for that kind of thing considering what they’ve already been through. As idiotic as Asa is, he is right about a worker maybe having a bad day or paperwork could slip through the cracks, many kids have been taken away for much less and never given back due to cps negligence. The system here is beyond f’ed.
My ex use to call cps so much on me because he was mad I left him to the point cps began to see his name they would still drop by but that was it in and out
As an ex DCS worker. In my state, DCS has to show up within 24 hours for special needs kids, especially nonverbal ones because they are so vulnerable... It's considered priority 1.
Yes you can put a chipotle button on the talker. My kid has McDonald's on hers. She didn't get it every time she asks though (in my family).
What I do not understand is with all the money they make why do they need a scholarship for money to pay for a teacher for home school when there are other families out there who do not have the money to pay out of pocket for this. I took my son out of school but I had to have it signed off on by the school and a plan in place before I could so I just do not get it.
They are SO cheap!!!!!!! Almost every video they talk about getting discounts, etc. Cillas page is all sponsored ads. It's pretty gross.
Complaining about Mondays while living everyday like it's Sunday, everyday is basically their off day 😒
And all off the back of their disabled child, that's pretty gross.
I will agree as a mother of a child on the spectrum the system is not build for a child with special needs
Sales are not profit Josh. I sell on Amazon and have sold almost $250,000 in 12 months, but my take home after expenses is on average 20% of my sales. I then have to pay taxes on the take home number.
Josh please speak on the shooting. Your words have power to create change.
@The Dad Challenge Podcast at one point you said that CPS (or DCPS/DCF) doesn't unjustifiably take children away... but they do because I too am disabled and was taken from my home for 11 days. My social worker took a personal vendetta against my parents, lying to the judge, falsifying evidence &/or cherry picking medical facts (recommendations). Yes, I would say that DCF does do good work in some cases BUT there are situations where physically abled people have a preconceived notion as to how "easy" it is to live a challenged life. Often times we tow the line of how closely we follow a doctors orders because sometimes their recommendations can negatively effect the rest of my body. For example, if I drink 8 cups of water a day my kidneys will hurt and water will collect at my feet. So I have to drink about 4 to balance between 'dehydrated' and 'drowning". It's just a fact that non medical people (DCF social workers) just DONT understand.
Yay another FA video. Wait they did a video on someone calling Dss on them and someone blamed Josh
My parents had CPS called on me, for riding my bike in a dead end street…it wasn’t even me! But my parents had to take off work and take me out of school. And they didn’t even have correct kid! Do I look like I have blonde hair? Nope! Not even the correct age, but they had to come out for that.
I don’t like to make judgment on a family I don’t truly know, but if they are on the one hand posting that they’ve just passed a million in sales, and they are really making a lot of money from YT, they should be able to afford a good quality, proper education solution. Can they just sell the motorbike and the RV to fund the solution for a year. They talk about taking care of their daughter’s future, but they seem to forget that the present moment is just as important as tomorrow.
Not Asa guilt tripping, manipulating and intimidating his viewers. 😶
I live right down the street from selfie world. I never see anyone in there.
🤣🤣 I wouldn’t think a place like that would get good business.
It’s a short term business. Interest will change and drop all together.
I guarantee money is walking out the door. If the owner is not there everyday, money is walking out the door.
Except that unfortunately CPS will stop at your house first. Unless it is a case of serious neglect and abuse, cps schedules appointments to meet with you. So they will keep that appointment and then follow up with the family of kids who are truly in danger. It’s sick. Cps is a seriously flawed and broken system
I follow Isaiah because his photography is actually pretty good for an amateur... I am now seeing that they are posting that Abbie has graduated high school. That is not the case at all! They took her out of school because her school schedule did not fit their lifestyle anymore. I really hope that they get some specialists in there that can really help Abbie because she is capable of much more than they give her the opportunity to show.
Why are they saying she graduated isn't she 16?
I always thought it was because the school frock legal action to stop them from filming at the school which I suspect affect’s their revenue stream. They barely talk about school events like a prom or the flounder pounder. From what I know about Asa that makes sense because he doesn’t like being told no.
@@PostcardCathy I think Josh said that they sued the school and it might have been because they were filming so much at her school, which is a special school, but the school might have also spoken up about their concerns, especially when Priscilla dropped off Abbie with her face covered in blood from a bloody nose and then just left because she was "in a hurry."
@@AliAngelpie haven’t watched this video yet and haven’t really been keeping up with the masses but I thought the school they sued was a public school before the current school that is specifically for special needs children and stuff. Did they also sue this “new” school?
@@AliAngelpie they sued the public school district when Abbie was like 5 or 6 because they basically were warehousing her. I’m talking about JSA doing something like getting a restraining order to stop them from filming or other parents pressuring them because there is always a chance that they or their kids might get a second or two of scewwntime because for example the kid might walk through the frame as they film.
22:35 this is an incredibly uniformed perspective. i used to work at a swimming centre where we facilitated classes for children with special needs and many could swim - and swim well - but could not go to the bathroom by themselves. the thing is that even if a given individual with additional needs technically CAN go to the bathroom by themselves, it doesn't necessarily mean that they can clean themselves to the degree that is needed. hygiene is not something you can slack on for the sake of "independence" and doing so can result in legitimate health concerns. also swimming is something that many children with additional needs absolutely love - especially those with sensory processing disorders (which are common with autism). but yes, i agree that showing all of this is very unnecessary
Absolutely agree! My son is not verbal and would spend all day in the pool and would have accidents here in there going to the bathroom. He CAN go to the bathroom by himself, but needs help to wipe.
I never gravitated to Fathering autism, because he is exploiting Abby. 😒
I get your point. I also wanted to add that she is locked in her room at night so that's why Asa said she woke him up. She has a pull up but probably didn't want to use it or wanted the attention since she doesn't sleep much.
I GUARANTEE that Asa and Priscilla have a BAD REPUTATION amongst the local PROFESSIONAL community and NOONE will deal with them... THAT is why they are "advertising" out of the professional "pool"... *GUARANTEE* 🇺🇸
Interesting
What do you mean?
Evidence or hearsay!
Good point. I would love to know how true this is. I also know that they are very 'frugal' even though they have to keep up with the joneses.... I also think that they are having a very hard time because their #1 criteria is most likely agreeing to be vlogged.
I can tell you as someone who lives in their community, and can't speak on the "professional level" of how things are. I can speak on the type of people, which is something that will push the community away. I myself was looking for some resources for my daughter that I knew they could probably provide due to their knowledge and platform. Cilla read it and totally ignored me. I did let her know days later I thought they were more caring than that... Oh believe me she THEN responded (still with no help) but to basically tell me her family was too busy to answer things like this. Hahaha They have no problem taking "time" to reply to all the negative comments. They aren't too tired for that!
It's word hotter he barely looks at the camera while he's addressing his watchers. People who can't give eye to eye contact while speaking, I do not trust. They know how they are going about it is wrong.
I can't stand them but to judge based off eye contact is ableism 🤢 considering their daughter is profoundly autistic and it's hereditary he could very likely be on the spectrum.
There is No way the CPS official said anything about another Case. They are sworn to confidentiality or they could get fired..He is saying that for sympathy!!! Gross
Well, I am right now having fun and enjoying my more or less free time.. because I know next week I will have a translation project for 2 months nonstop! The rest time I try to build my blog and stress when affiliate sales do not go so good. So nope- I do not relate to their Mondays when they go for coffee and breakfast!
Hi Josh @TheDadChallengePodcast Great video and everything you said was spot on and so agreed with. See you on your next video.
You know what I think? I think jsa cut ties with them due to no progress from abbie and instead of them admitting that abbie will not progress they are forcing the homeschooling thing. They also spend all of their money on everything but abbie. Lauren brazee always says she would love to move but her daughter's schools us amazing and its paid tuition
They are beyond horrifying.
Yeah they definitely don't lack food 😄
These people's priorities are WAY off. A trip for themselves ,in their extremely expensive RV, is more important than finding education for Abbie?? They are trying to find a person to be what Summer was which is not what a professional teacher would do. STOP spending money on expensive materialistic shit and pay for your daughter's education!!! Uuuuggghhh
All you have to say to me is "MLM" and your lack of character is revealed!
He is such a liar! Unfortunately, my husband and I had to deal with CPS when our daughter fell and got a hairline fracture as a toddler. This guy is so dramatic and attention seeking. CPS officers barely speak....let alone speaking on other cases.
Exactly that. MLM = snake oil, do not and will not trust you. Ever.
I feel like these people are big liars they say they’re trying to teach everyone about autism but they can’t teach their own daughter they put themselves in the situation wtf
They don't even know about autism, they know basically stereotypes.
I teach parents why their children think and behave in such ways, I share with them the biological and neurological differences, like how the variation of the development of the amygdala is why autistic people have a heightened sense of anxiety.
