Jani and bodhi were poisoned for years. Given horrendous amounts of adult medication that has caused both horrific brain damage. Jani is not thought to have schizophrenia now she is in the care of the state.
I loved the Maas's at first. I bought merch, became a patreon etc. I actually reached out to them for help with Jani and Bohdi and to help raise awareness of their case but Priscilla told me I couldn't say they were being abused.at that time Bohdi was being filmed on the toilet and so drugged out of his mind he couldn't speak or even feed himself. It was horrific. I started to feel differently after Bohdi and Jani were so horrifically abused.
I got really cross about the pressure they were putting on Abbie to perform how they want her too and way above what I feel is her development age. I have begged them to let Abbie be abbie. She still mouths everything, she still cannot do tasks that they have been drill training her to do for years........that should tell you something. If Abbie is a baby developmentally then let her be that. Her room should look like a nursery if that is the case. That flat they have could be made into a safe space for Abbie to express who she is. Made safe and into a place where she can explore a sensory interactive environment.
I used to think they were raising awareness but they aren't realistic and I hate the training they put Abbie through. And then they wonder why she so angry, frustrated and confused. You should reach for the stars with all children and push them to reach their full potential but this is cruel. If you been trying to get Abbie to do something for years and she never has why doesnt that tell them something. I congratulated them once on getting a two year old to unload the dishwasher. She was so upset doing it. It means nothing to her. I doubt it ever will.
I'm no longer comfortable with any kid or adult with a learning disability being exploited on YouTube. As far as I'm concerned every individual should be able to give informed consent and if they don't have the capacity to do so then they shouldn't be on there. Doubt I will ever comment again but felt I had to this time. Enjoy reading here though folks. Kinda keeps you sane at times
