Daniel Larson: Difference between revisions

{{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, often citing Daniel, who is known to be an unreliable narrator. On the other hand, 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, his father was only 20 at the time of his son's birth. Daniel's genesis could have been spurred by the albeit claims of his father being "[[:File:Elisabeths post about Travis.png|obsessed with sex]]", however this is most likely false. In 2001, Daniel's mother would also give birth to his late siblings, [[Family|Joyetta and Olivia]], who would pass away due to RH incompatibility not long after birth.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdannybob98%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0MnyaEcaQ2RWSmKDwvt26jKSZw7xEZRMYiBkFQAV3EENY8vvYHxxfFuLFWcn8FYual</ref>  

When Daniel was a toddler, he was said to have been playmates with his neighbors [[Dog Arc|dog]]. In one of his TikToks, Daniel indicates that he murdered this dog whilst playing with it. As he chased the dog around, it jumped over a spiked fence to which it impaled itself due to not being able to jump over in time.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@averagelarsonian/video/7196410748418018606</ref> While Daniel obviously was not the one who killed the animal, this small anecdote was most likely the starting point of his violent tendencies.  <gallery>

In 2010, Daniel was relocated to Colorado at the age of 11 by his mother following her separation from his father who viewed Daniel as a “lost cause”.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj419qs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> The decision to move was also influenced by Colorado's reputedly better mental and physical health support opposed to California's.<ref name=":3">[[:File:Elisabeth Comment 1.png|File:Elisabeth Comment 1.png]]</ref> This was due to Daniel's severe mental health problems, which were greatly developing as the years passed. This was also due to Elisabeth becoming wheelchair-bound after years of fighting lupus, which she'd been fighting since she was 20 years old.

As confirmed by his mother, Daniel, even from a young age, displayed severe signs of disabilities such as autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.<ref name=":4">[[:File:Elisabeth Final Comment.png|File:Elisabeth Final Comment.png]]</ref> This may be because his mother, and possibly his father, may be mentally challenged to some extent. It is unclear what conditions they suffer from.{{Quote|I'm Danny's mom and yes we have moved here for the services. He doesn't just have autism he has severe bi polar and shizophrenic. He has beaten me and my mom... he has lied and has fantasies about so many things. He does not want to listen to authority...he is not famous but wants to beleive he is.he does what he wants and if you dont let him he gets violent..if you want more information contact me}}

Even given the questionable validity of him being abused by his parents, claims of Daniel being neglected is confirmed by multiple people, even by his own [[Katie Elise|classmates]].  

This is evidenced by the fact that, at about age 11, Daniel was taken away from his mother by the State of Colorado due to being neglected and facing alleged abuse,<ref name=":0">[[Rooftop Interview]]</ref><ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAGVvnzbms&t=1298s</ref> which Daniel and a later news report reaffirm. Due to this, Daniel claims that he bounced between 10 to 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]] behavior, and verbally threatening or [[December 10th Incident|hitting providers]] when he's upset" which corroborates claims of him being extremely violent, even in childhood.   

Elisabeth, Daniel's mother, has claimed that Nancy, her adopted mother, as well as Daniel's grandmother, spread lies about her abusing her son, but the validity of these claims has yet to be substantiated.<ref name=":4" /> However, It is ''extremely'' likely that Elisabeth was unable to take care of Daniel due to being disabled and functioning solely in a wheelchair, difficulty only added by the separation of her and his father, as well as difficulty from Daniel. Because of her disability, Elisabeth went into assisted living in 2015 when Daniel was around 16-17.   

Daniel was placed into several foster homes before his grandmother, [[Nancy Shimer]], eventually took legal guardianship of him after a long custody battle.<ref name=":1" />    

Despite her kinder treatment of Daniel, Nancy was known to be enabling of his bad habits, according to both of Daniel's parents. It is claimed that at the tender age of 3, Nancy rewarded Daniel with M&M's after he painted on her house's walls, opposed to punishing him.{{Citation Needed}} Due to this enabling, Elisabeth and Travis attempted to gain respective custody of their son, before ultimately failing. 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, allegedly calling her a bitch as well as 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 visitation rights to see Daniel once more. Considering how his father never made an effort to visit him, it can be assumed that their relationship fell apart long before Daniel was even an adult, let alone a teenager. 

|container=frame}}In many of the photos from his time in musical theater, Daniel is visibly smaller than almost all of his classmates, only exacerbated by his odd bowl cut hairstyle. It can be assumed that Daniel has some sort of physical disability that causes him to look like this, but this cannot be substantiated.  

 

{{Quote|He seemed pretty normal. He really had some issues with academic retention and he was very reserved. He often times would have an escort, and his escorts would call him Danny... ...post-graduation it was like night and day. He went from robotic to the way he is today. It was a rapid turnaround.}}[[File:Openingschool.png|left|thumb|302x302px|Daniel, at the opening of Sobesky Academy. ]]Despite being reserved, he would occasionally [[Self Harm|hit himself]] and have [[meltdowns]], which would result in him being put in "close and lock", much akin to the Punishment Room. The reasons why he is so much worse now compared to his time in school could be due to Daniel being heavily medicated when he attended Sobesky and Tennyson, opposed to nowadays where he almost always refuses to be put on antipsychotics. He was often described as someone who was quiet, a "[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA|total wallflower]]", and "pretty normal".
