His parents were fairly young at the time of his birth, his mother being 22, and his father only 20. Daniel's genesis could have been spurred by claims of his father being "[[:File:Elisabeths post about Travis.png|obsessed with sex]]," though this is difficult to verify. In 2001, Daniel's mother gave birth to his late siblings, [[Family#Joyetta and Olivia Larson|Joyetta and Olivia]], who sadly passed away due to blood type incompatibility between the girls and their mother.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdannybob98%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0MnyaEcaQ2RWSmKDwvt26jKSZw7xEZRMYiBkFQAV3EENY8vvYHxxfFuLFWcn8FYual</ref> | ||
Observing Daniel’s facial features, including a thin, flat upper lip and small eye openings, it has been speculated that Daniel may suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome.<ref>https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15677-fetal-alcohol-syndrome</ref> However, this can’t be proven, and furthermore, Elisabeth's impaired state adds complexity to the situation. | Observing Daniel’s facial features, including a thin, flat upper lip and small eye openings, it has been speculated that Daniel may suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome.<ref>https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15677-fetal-alcohol-syndrome</ref> However, this can’t be proven, and furthermore, Elisabeth's impaired state adds complexity to the situation. | ||

Multiple people, | Multiple people, notably [[Katie Elise|classmates]] of Daniel, have verified the claims of neglect. | ||

At about age 11, Daniel was taken away from his mother by the State of Colorado due to neglect, which Daniel and a later news report reaffirm.<ref name=":0">[[Rooftop Interview]]</ref><ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAGVvnzbms&t=1298s</ref> Given the state's actions, it is likely that Daniel was being truthful regarding his later claims of neglect. Daniel claims that he bounced between 10 to 15 foster homes in the years following the state's intervention. This is evidenced by leaked documents that the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center (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. | At about age 11, Daniel was taken away from his mother by the State of Colorado due to neglect, which Daniel and a later news report reaffirm.<ref name=":0">[[Rooftop Interview]]</ref><ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAGVvnzbms&t=1298s</ref> Given the state's actions, it is likely that Daniel was being truthful regarding his later claims of neglect.

Due to her disability, Elisabeth went into assisted living in 2015 when Daniel was around 16-17 years old. | ||

He was even called this in his high school yearbook and in the news report he was featured in. According to his classmates, Daniel was a very violent person, even in class. One of his classmates refers to a time in which Daniel threw a chair at a window which resulted in a light fixture being knocked down.<ref>[[Canned Legs Leaks]]</ref> | ||

According to this same classmate, Daniel had a habit of running in the hallways in an attempt to evade staff. Due to his troubled behavior, Daniel was assigned a guardian who followed him throughout the school day.<ref>[[Katie Elise]]</ref> When questioned, he asserted that it wasn't due to his lack of trustworthiness, but rather because of the positive relationship he had with his teachers.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> | According to this same classmate, Daniel had a habit of running in the hallways in an attempt to evade staff.

Just like his childhood, his time in school was wrought with alleged claims of mistreatment and bullying. Daniel claimed that the Tennyson Center was a, "...very violent place."<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> According to Daniel, the Tennyson Center had a brick room only lit up by a single window, dubbed the 'Timeout Room.' Daniel claimed to have been placed in this room on several occasions for behavior such as excessive crying and not cooperating with teachers. Other students would be physically restrained due to violent behavior, however, this seems to have never happened to Daniel. | Just like his childhood, his time in school was wrought with alleged claims of mistreatment and bullying.

According to a classmate, this seemed to have very little effect on him.<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref> These claims of being bullied only seemed to arise in adulthood. {{Quote|Contrary to what he may say, people were actually quite respectful towards him. 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. Even the biggest bully in the school didn't really pay much mind to him. He was just that reserved.}} | ||
