The person who claimed to be Daniel's caretaker has yet to be identified, as no name or identifying information about him can be found during this point in time. What should also be noted is that this person could be a potential troll or someone pretending to be one of his caretakers, so please take any statements made by them with a grain of salt until further confirmation is available | The '''Caretaker Call''' was a phone conversation that took place on July 27, 2023, between one of Daniel's former caretakers and the [https://www.youtube.com/@DanielLarsonCurator Daniel Larson Curator] whom he had stayed with from Fall 2019, until being kicked out in Spring 2020. After receiving a few comments from someone who claimed to be Daniel's old care providers, the Curator set up a call between the two to discuss what caring, and living, with Daniel was like. The call contained details such as Daniel's behavior around the house, and more information about the elusive [[Ryan]], who was thought to be one of Daniel's delusions up until that point. The caretakers' opinions on the widely popular take that the system had 'failed' Daniel, and how he had allegedly almost sexually assaulted their physically-disabled cat. | ||

'''Caretaker''': He did smell absolutely terrible. He would, never shower, ever. Um, and when he lived with me, uh, he was really big into running. He would run 10 miles a day, uh, he used to like 5K races and other stuff like that.

Some agencies, they're hands off. I don't know how that would ever work with Daniel. | ||
'''Caretaker''': Um, but I mean, there were some weeks where I was restraining him multiple times a day, and I'd restrain him because he was hurting himself. He would bash his head into the wall so much. Yeah, just bleeding from his face.

'''Caretaker''': I try not to call the cops in my home. Some providers they basically have 911 on speed dial. Um.. I only call, like, when it's truly out of my control. Um.. I think I only called the cops on him twice. Um.. most of the time it was truly like, uh, like for example he was obsessed with mac n' cheese. If we no longer had mac n' cheese and I had to make him something else, it'd become extremely escalated and just start like, kicking over and over and over again, holes in all the walls, um, that's kind of the farthest extent it came. | '''Caretaker''': I try not to call the cops in my home.

Then the next day we wake up and everything seemed like, you know, he'd act like nothing happened. | ||
'''Caretaker''': And then later that night, it'd happen again, um, and I guess one time he went ballistic, uh.. hit his head on the wall. He took one of my kitchen chairs, threw it across the room at a, uh, another roommate.

'''Caretaker''': it's like, there's issues in the system, but like Colorado specifically, as I- I would say it's the leading state as far of taking care of individuals disabilities, the services offered in Colorado are far better than any other state.

'''Caretaker''': Um.. so when he saw that, he freaked out, ran in my room, got me, I went in there, Daniel was like, putting on his clothes and like, the cat was there.
