Family Returns Their Adopted Son

I’m sure we have all come across what seems to be a social media “influencer” trying a little too…

Family channels on YouTube have been growing over the last few years with immense popularity. Personally I think these kids of channels, where parents exploit their children on the internet, is absolutely terrible. The Stauffer’s are no exception to this. Even before Huxley was adopted, they made videos…

The story of Huxley is appalling at the least.

The Huxley Story

So I read the article and even watched a video on this situation to better understand what was going on. Personally from the start I don’t like “YouTube” families who document everything and exploit their children or family for money or fame. When I heard the family adopted the child from China…

I think the whole Huxley story is just absurd. I remember seeing tons of posts on my own Instagram from other influencers that I…

Family vlogers are problematic

Social media allows for many people to create a brand and career out of their typical everyday lifestyles. There is an entire community on youtube of family vlog channels. On these channels, parents will share not only their highlights and daily routines but also those of…

Huxley

Reading this story was very weird for me. I have recently encountered political conversations with people for the first real time as an adult. I think for so long, especially because being able to vote is not allowed until he age of 18, politics didn’t seem important. I have recently delved into the idea that I…

It is always a tragedy when parents are unable to properly take care of their children, especially when they happen to be a child with…

JMS 215 Weekly Post 6

The story about the adoption of Huxley from China by semi-famous YouTubers Myka and James is an intriguing one because of how much controversy they managed to stir up with how they handled the situation. I feel like Huxley was used for clickbait purposes. I feel this way because they let…

Huxley’s life with the Stauffer’s seems to be nothing less than a public media stunt. I had seen some of the couple’s videos in the past, but honestly had no idea this whole ordeal had happened. After reading the article I am shocked to say that the ethical decisions in what they did are not right…

Huxley

I am 21, I grew up in the generation where youtube and social media was solidifying its grip on society. through the many different stages and changes, it has gone through, one thing that has stayed consistent is its ability to give the everyday person a chance at fame. because of this aspect of the internet, the…

After watching the video, I personally thought it was clear Myka and James Stauffer did have good intentions when they adopted Huxley from China, but doing something like “rehoming” your child when you realize you cannot take care of an autistic child due to his behavior, then making a clickbait video…

Like many stories there are always two sides. On one hand you have this picture perfect family that constantly post about their daily activities. The Stauffers are relatively known on Youtube for their family vlogs. Trouble ensued in 2016, when the couple decided to post a video containing plans to…

The Huxley story was one that I had never heard of until now. To me, it makes sense why so many people are mad.

Huxley’s adoptive family essentially treated him as a pet. From afar, they look like the stereotypical American dream family. But deep down, the family had a lot of narcissism and trauma affecting the household. The couple had a few narcissistic tendencies going to China. They entirely ignored Huxley’s conditions and started using him as a clickbait.

These complex situations are hard to understand. As a third party, It is hard to know the deeply rooted dynamics of this family. As an…

My Opinion on Huxley Story

I have so many concerns about Huxley’s life because that is not how a child should be treated. It is good of the family that once they found out what he had that they tried to get the help that he deserved but ultimately was too much with how big their family is. As a little kid…

I think people’s cynical opinions on Huxley’s life with the Stauffer’s are valid. At times while looking into Stauffer family it did seem like they gave Huxley away once caring for him was to difficult for them. At the same time, even though they did document a majority of their life we don’t know what…
