Amazes me why people still support and award them seeing how slimy the whole mess has become. Until people start boycotting their sponsors and affiliates and complain to You Tube they will be successful. And where does that leave Abby? Oh if only one could hear what she is thinking. Something is amiss the way she shrinks back and doesn't want affection given or demanded of her. Some times her eyes look so sad and inhibited. As if she is saying, "Please stop with the camera. I don't want to do this. I'm Abby..I'm your daughter..I'm a kid. You're hurting my feelings. I don't want strangers looking at me..please." I wonder if at night, alone in her room silent tears stream down her cheeks and rest upon her pillow. I wonder if in the darkness she feels like the lonliest girl in the world. I wonder if, as the tears flow she calls out in her silence, "I just want to be me."
I agree. I have noticed her eyes too. It is heartbreaking. The demands (this is the perfect word) put on her to perform for the vlog are equal or more to someone training a dog.
I have been watching old vlogs and there was a time she got into Pigcillas icy hot and put it in her mouth!! The time he put her in a swimming pool with shaving cream!! Who does that
tit in real life?? I know I never did it. I'm sure it burns when it gets in the eyes!! And as much as she had on and around her and her developmental delay is probably toddler to age 2 - no doubt she got it allll over her. Nevermind the fact she did not seem to enjoy it. Then i wondered if he hosed her off with cold water before he took her back inside. We will never know.
The old vlogs give you a better insight to how they routinely deprive Abbie of food...justify them weighing 500lbs and 400lbs and withholding food from a 115lb child. They justify it by blaming autism. Stating autistic people eat all the time. Surely a few carrots or some crackers would not pack pounds on her!!! Seeing her beg for food from two hambeasts just makes me physically ill.
I would love to know the results of the Department of Child whatever were. I have a feeling that because they are white, rich and "YouTube stars" not one damn thing happened.
That social worker should watch old vlogs and see the pattern that emerges. Exploitation of a non verbal child for money should be against some law on some level somewhere!!!
I hope they revisit them.
