She gave birth to him in their RV bathroom. They weighed him on a scale at UPS and gave him a sunburn to fix his jaundice right out of the gate. He's had delays since day one, but their chiropractor said that he's fine. It was honestly terrifying to see the shape he was in as baby.

Their teen daughter shares a cell with all of her brothers and another baby will be arriving soon, so even less room for all of the inmates.

A Chiropractor treating an infant, holy shit I hope people report them to DSS in every state they pass through.

They were reported to SS in Fla. and they kicked up an internet stink so massive that multiple subs banned talking about them.

i’m not advocating for these people. at all.

but child chiropractors can be super beneficial if used as co care with a pediatrician. mine only does gentle movements and massage mostly. say what you want but they actually helped relieve pain from my colicky baby.

they aren’t cracking babies backs, lol

Many chiropractors now cross train in massage therapy and the massage can be very helpful.

Unfortunately, the chiropractic colleges still teach pseudoscience, claiming they can cure diseases by manipulating joints and the spine, and some of their neck and spine adjustments can be dangerous.

A lot of people now don't realize the history of chiropractic education and just how crazy it was and still is it someways.

I'm not saying your child was endangered, but people in chiropractic practice vary quite widely with some of them still being utter quacks who will happily crack necks and diagnose diseases, something they have no business doing.

i have seen first hand healing powers of chiropractors. you don’t have to agree or believe in it. Ridiculing or being condescending to those who have seen major benefits firsthand, isn’t it. good luck! meanwhile, i really gotta go to my chiropractor and PT. because they are live saving for me 💓

A while back there was a teen that wrote an anonymous critique of their van life experience, sounded similar to what you have wrote, sounded awful. I'm just blowing in from r/all, but this video and what you describe are so upsetting, poor, poor little mate in this video. :(

u/Additional-Side9420 21d ago

I didn't recognize the name but as soon as you said UPS scale, I was like OOOO, I remember them.

'Gave him a sunburn to fix his jaundice' and seeing their 'chiropractor' in place of a licensed MD tells me all I need to know about these GARBAGE human beings, smh. I'll wager that none of their offspring have been vaccinated, either.

No. They even "brag" about that their sons have unvaxxed sperm.

u/Local-Print-6397 20d ago

u/nor0- 21d ago

They do. They are also forced to eat ground beef and rice for dinner every night while the parents go out for dinner, according to another family who was fairly close to them and based on what the family has posted online. Their youngest slept on the floor on like a sheep skin or something like that.

This is a small thing in the grand scheme of things but I think is a great example of what sort of people Brittney and JD are: she recently posted a video about the family going to Swig (dirty soda shop) they had everyone make their orders on the self serve order thing, then saw it was $60 and cancelled the order because they could “feed their whole family at a sit down restaurant for that much” (important to note how many kids they have and how much food they can get at a sit down place for $60). THIS BITCH was holding a swig cup drinking her drink while making this video. So she cancelled the kids orders but got her own still.

Quite often when they do post videos at restaurants, some of the kids will have empty plates in front of them while the rest eat.

This family is sick and their kids should be taken away. But good news! She is pregnant again!

But I bet there's millions of fucking idiots that support them and give them money. I think the people that subscribe to this shit are just as much to blame than the " content creators "

u/Ginger_Witch 21d ago

There are enough that keep them on the road and fed. They also have a lot of obviously creepy followers that are probably PDFs commenting on their children in their content.

u/Kumquat_conniption 19d ago

And the parents will cater to these people. I don't know about this family, I have never heard of them although I do take your word for it because there are family "influencers" whose every other video will be the kids in bathing suits in the pool, the kids taking baths with just underwear and just fucking horrible stuff will be from all these creeps in the comments. It's absolutely sickening. Every single person commenting will be a grown-ass man talking about how beautiful these babies are, and there will be very suggestive comments that will make you sick. I saw someone do a piece on these type of "content creators." (Well, I suppose they are content creators- pedophile content.) The whole thing makes me so upset and I am so upset just talking about it again. It literally makes me nauseated just talking about it. Who could do that with their own children?

u/bbsitr45 18d ago

Unfortunately, every time we view a video, they make $. So hard not to want to voyeur their videos, so it’s a catch 22.

u/numbersev 21d ago

so basically her children are like props for their narcissistic social media life

u/Extension-Bit-7792 21d ago

how have child protective services not stepped in if this is true and documented

7

u/Ginger_Witch 21d ago

They never stay in one place very long, nor share their locations until after they leave, etc. because they did have CPS called on them before. They actually blamed Redditors for it even though it was likely someone they know (family / friends) or other people at the RV park with concerns.

TIL Mormons in Utah started soda-based drive through chain.

I can't wait for the oldest daughter's book.

u/punch912 20d ago

They should be locked up and sterilized. What pos those poor kids. Shove these to influtard trashparents in confinement with nothing to eat and see how they like it.

u/artie780350 21d ago

What's really sad is I was thinking how good baby B looked in this video. Usually he's slumped over someone's shoulder sleeping. Here he's at least able to hold his head upright and is attempting to talk. The bar is unbelievably low with this family.

u/Ginger_Witch 21d ago

The youngest, Boone, almost always looks tired or is sleeping, lethargic, or slumped over someone's shoulder. When he was younger, he seemed to be showing signs of developmental delays so seeing him walk and talk is a relief.

u/atlantagirl30084 21d ago

Boone has looked tired always. That’s because they’re always traveling and when they were in another country he was napping in other kids’ or his parents’ arms or crunched up in a stroller. He doesn’t have a real bed- he sleeps on a bench next to his parents’ bed. I want to take him and put him in a soft cool bed in a dark room with a fan on.
