Daniel Robert Larson was born on November 15, 1998, in Lancaster, California, to his parents [[Elisabeth Shimer|Elisabeth Lee Shimer]] and [[Travis Larson|James Travis Larson]], and with a half-sister named Aurora from his father's side of the family. After his birth, his mother would give birth to two twins, who were his sisters, who passed away shortly after birth for from what was potentially Rh incompatibility.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdannybob98%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0MnyaEcaQ2RWSmKDwvt26jKSZw7xEZRMYiBkFQAV3EENY8vvYHxxfFuLFWcn8FYual</ref> He was then moved to Colorado by his mother for unknown reasons,<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/16juf15/discussing_his_childhood/</ref> it possibly relating to Daniel's violent tendencies, with Daniel claiming he even killed a neighbor's dog.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1130cgr/daniel_is_an_animal_murderer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf</ref>^{''[Lost Media?]''}

There is scant information regarding Daniel's early childhood, but we do know that it was wrought with neglect and [[Pedophilia#Daniel's Sexual Deviance and Possible Sexual Trauma|tenuous claims of sexual abuse]], which may have left him with childhood trauma which exacerbated his already chaotic behavior. Daniel, at about age 11, was taken away from Elisabeth by the State of Colorado due to being neglected, which Daniel<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAGVvnzbms&t=1298s</ref> and a later news report affirms.<ref>https://youtube.com/watch?v=jyCZEd11Hdo</ref> He was then put in various foster homes<ref name=":1" /> before his grandmother, [[Nancy Shimer]], took legal guardianship of him. Despite her kinder treatment of Daniel, Nancy was known to be enabling of his bad habits, such as her giving him M&M's after painting on her walls rather than punishing him, according to Daniel's father.  

Nancy would enroll Daniel in the [[Tennyson Center|Tennyson Center for Children]], a center for rehabilitating and assisting children with intellectual disabilities due to Daniel facing troubles from his previous neglect. A [https://youtube.com/watch?v=jyCZEd11Hdo 2012 news report on KWGN] regarding Daniel's time at the [[Tennyson Center|Tennyson Center for Children]] states that he grew up in an extremely neglectful home.  

At the Tennyson Center, Daniel met [[Bob Proctor]] and was [[Daniel Larson's health|diagnosed with ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, and was seen as intellectually disabled]]. There is speculation that Daniel has more mental disabilities, as Daniel has displayed signs of disabilities like schizophrenia. Looking at Daniel Larson's facial features, such as a thin and flat upper lip and a small eye opening, which are signs of FASD,<ref>https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15677-fetal-alcohol-syndrome</ref> it is possible he has fetal alcohol syndrome, meaning his mother likely consumed alcohol during her pregnancy.  

In July 2019, Nancy passed away from cancer when Daniel was 19. Before her death, she sent Daniel to a state-run group home program for the disabled, where he remained for about two years before alternating between living with other individuals and [[Homeless Arc|living on the streets]]. Daniel's mental health began to deteriorate significantly due to a confluence of challenging circumstances. These circumstances include living on the streets, geographical isolation from family/friends, and limited access to mental healthcare.
