{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|Daniel has never been officially confirmed to have been abused as a child, much less sexually. News articles, videos, and posts often state that he has without a source; however, when these posts do have sources, they are almost always from Daniel, who is known to habitually lie/be extremely untrustworthy. In fact, it is very likely that Daniel himself was the abuser. While it is likely he may have been abused, please take any claims made by him with a grain of salt until further confirmation.}} | |||

Daniel Robert Larson was born on November 15, 1998 in [[wikipedia:Lancaster,_California|Lancaster, California,]] to parents [[Elisabeth Shimer|Elisabeth Lee Shimer]] and [[Travis Larson|James Travis Larson]]. His parents were fairly young when they gave birth to him. While Elisabeth's age is not known, Travis was only 20 (and 19 at the start of his Elisabeth's pregnancy) at the time of his son's birth. Daniel's genesis could have been spurred by claims of his father being "obsessed with sex", <ref>[[:File:Elisabeths post about Travis.png]]</ref> however, this cannot be confirmed.

Due to this, Daniel claims that he bounced between 10-15 foster homes. This is also evidenced by leaked documents the DDRC sent to potential fosters families/host homes. These documents warns families that Daniel, "has a history of [[7/11 incident|property damage]], [[Dog Arc|kicking animals]], [[August 29th Meltdown|self-injurious]] behaviour, and verbally threatening or [[December 10th Incident|hitting providers]] when he's upset" which corroborates claims of Daniel being extremely violent, even in childhood. | ||

Because of her disability, Elisabeth went into assisted living in 2015 when Daniel was 17. | ||

Despite her kinder treatment of Daniel, Nancy was known to be enabling of his bad habits, according to both of Daniel's parents,<ref name=":4" /> who claimed she rewarded him with M&M's after he painted on her house's walls rather than punishing him.{{Citation Needed}} Due to this enabling, Elisabeth and Travis attempted to gain respective custody of Daniel, before ultimately failing as Daniel was placed under Nancy's care. When Travis attempted to file for custody of Daniel, Nancy refuted it by saying that Daniel, "didn't even know his father", which heavily calls into question what their relationship was like. Because of this, Travis grew to have an extreme dislike of Nancy, calling her a bitch and claiming the only reason she had obtained custody of Daniel was due to her greater financial situation.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> Though, unlike his father, Elisabeth was eventually given access to see Daniel once more. | ||

When in school, Daniel claimed that children would tease him by calling him "[[wikipedia:Danny_Phantom|Danny Phantom]]", a nickname derived from the fictional character of the same name.

We all knew we had our own issues, and for the most part, nobody meant any harm towards him. Whenever he was called Danny phantom, there was no malicious intent. He didn't even really react to it. I guess that's more something that came after he graduated. But no, not really anybody bullied him. This particular school was quite small, so when I say that, not really, anybody bullied him, I mean, there were about 18 of us in the high school.

On May 31, Daniel created a Cameo account, initially charging $30 for custom videos. Over the following month, he adjusted the prices, at times reaching over $1000. Daniel eventually realized the need for lower prices to boost accessibility and increase sales, settling on $10. However, the prices continued to fluctuate, occasionally going back up to $100. Despite the high prices, Daniel failed to consistently fulfill the actual requests made by paying customers, sometimes outright ignoring them while thanking them for their money. This led to a decline in his review score, ultimately resulting in his ban from Cameo on August 16. | On May 31, Daniel created a Cameo account, initially charging $30 for custom videos.

Daniel had untreated scabies while in Los Angeles, while wearing the same clothes, not taking showers, and sleeping in porta-potties at night. What really made this controversial was the fact that he did not seek treatment for the scabies, and even went to Disneyland with this highly spreadable disease. The symptoms would eventually reach a point to where Daniel was forced to seek medical attention, and the symptoms would die down. | Daniel had untreated scabies while in Los Angeles, while wearing the same clothes, not taking showers, and sleeping in porta-potties at night.

Although there are people genuinely willing to help improve Daniel's quality of life, he consistently rejects help or takes advantage of it. This is possibly because these people, or organizations, have conditions which would prevent Daniel from continuing his social media career. In many cases, he chooses to spend money from supporters on extravagant hotel rooms, indulgences at Dave and Busters (which he doesn't even eat most of the time) and other non-essentials. As such, Daniel remains homeless and financially unstable. | Although there are people genuinely willing to help improve Daniel's quality of life, he consistently rejects help or takes advantage of it.
