There has truly been no internet personality such as Daniel Larson, due to the unique and incredibly disturbing circumstances that caused his genesis, and so on. Even after years of people trying to help him, Daniel shows no signs of stopping his incredibly dangerous behaviour. In short, Daniel's story is one that is most likely fated not to have a happy ending, leaving his life as a tale of bad parenting, the effects of untreated mental illness, guilibility, narcissism, sexual deviancy, criminal activity, and, most importantly, a tale of the world slowly (or fastly, depending on how you see it) watching a man deteriorate through each and every day. | There has truly been no internet personality such as Daniel Larson, due to the unique and incredibly disturbing circumstances that caused his genesis, and so on.

According to Daniel, his parents were very young when they gave birth to him.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> Daniel's birth could have been spurred by alleged claims of his father being "obsessed with sex", however, this cannot be confirmed.<ref>[[:File:Elisabeths post about Travis.png]]</ref> Shortly after his birth, his mother would also give birth to his late siblings, [[Family|Joyetta and Olivia]], who, not long after birth, would pass away due to RH incompatibility.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdannybob98%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0MnyaEcaQ2RWSmKDwvt26jKSZw7xEZRMYiBkFQAV3EENY8vvYHxxfFuLFWcn8FYual</ref> | ||

However, these claims remain unproven, and furthermore, Elisabeth's impaired state adds complexity to the situation. | ||

In 2009 (Possibly 2010), Daniel was relocated to Colorado at the age of 11 by his mother following her separation from his father, who, according to his mother, 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> and the decision to move was influenced by Colorado's reputedly better mental and physical health support opposed to Californias.<ref name=":3">[[:File:Elisabeth Comment 1.png|File:Elisabeth Comment 1.png]]</ref> This move was driven by Daniel's severe mental health problems, as well as Elisabeth being wheelchair-bound. As confirmed by claims from his mom,<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4">[[:File:Elisabeth Final Comment.png|File:Elisabeth Final Comment.png]]</ref> Daniel, even from a young age, displayed severe signs of disabilities such as autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. This may be because his mother (and possibly, his father), [[Elisabeth Shimer|Elisabeth]], was mentally challenged to some extent, although it is unclear what condition she suffers 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}} | |||
Daniel was | Daniel's childhood was wrought with tenuous claims of neglect and ''alleged'' [[Pedophilia#Daniel's Sexual Deviance and Possible Sexual Trauma|sexual abuse]] which, if true, may have left him with childhood trauma which exacerbated his already chaotic behavior, and may have contributed to his later [[Pedophilia|pedophilic tendencies]]. A worker who has claimed ''but is unconfirmed'' to have helped him during childhood went on to say Daniel had a "history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him)"<ref>[[:File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png|File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png]]</ref> although what this means is unknown. | ||
{{Quote|I worked with this person when he was a child/teen in a severe treatment center in Denver.... he's had a horrible upbringing and does suffer from multiple behavior and personality issues. This is a man with deep rooted mental health problems! It's very sad and I hope that the dog and himself finds help. There's a history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him) as well. How he acts ISNT A GAME or him faking.... It's truly how his brain thinks and it's severely debilitated! Very sad story to see this from working with him as a teen....}} | |||
However, claims of Daniel being neglected is confirmed by multiple people, even by his own classmates.<ref>[[Katie Elise]]</ref> | |||
This is damningly evidenced by the fact that, at about age 13 to 14 (or presumably at a younger age), Daniel was taken away from his mother by the State of Colorado due to allegedly being neglected and facing abuse,<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/16juf15/discussing_his_childhood/</ref><ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAGVvnzbms&t=1298s</ref> which Daniel and a later news report affirm. Due to this, Daniel claims that he bounced between 10-15 foster homes of families of many races. This is also evidenced by leaked documents the DDRC sent to potential fosters families/host homes.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14vyoho/thought_this_would_be_a_good_time_to_post_daniel/</ref> What is interesting about these documents is that it 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 also corroborates claims of Daniel being extreemly violent, even in childhood. | |||
Elisabeth has claimed that Nancy, her adopted mother and Daniel's grandmother, spread lies about her abusing her son,<ref name=":4" /> but the validity of these claims has yet to be substantiated, as Nancy died in 2018 and Elisabeth seeks to have no interactions with Daniel or people surrounding Daniel. However, It is, in fact, ''extremely'' likely that Elisabeth was unable to take care of Daniel due to being disabled and functioning solely in a wheelchair, which resulted in him being taken away. | |||
Elisabeth went into assisted living in 2015 when Daniel was 17, and according to [[Flexburger]], a person who would later make contact with him: | Elisabeth went into assisted living in 2015 when Daniel was 17, and according to [[Flexburger]], a person who would later make contact with him: | ||

{{Quote|Daniel moved to Hugo, Colorado with his mom after she split with Travis. She couldn’t take care of him anymore because she was paralyzed. And Daniel was an asshole. I asked him about her getting paralyzed. He told me she was stuck on the kitchen floor for a couple months straight by herself and couldn’t get up. I knew that was a lie so I asked “so she shit and pissed herself on the floor for a couple months straight?” to with daniel responded “yes”.|Flexburger}} | {{Quote|Daniel moved to Hugo, Colorado with his mom after she split with Travis.

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, according to his mother,<ref name=":4" /> as well as his father, who | 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, according to his mother,<ref name=":4" /> as well as his father, 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 alleged enabling, Elisabeth and Travis attempted to gain respective custody of Daniel, however, failing. According to Daniel, 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. Even so, Elisabeth was eventually given access to see Daniel once more. | ||
Nancy would enroll Daniel in the [[Tennyson Center|Tennyson Center for Children]], an assisted living facility for schooling, rehabilitating, and assisting children with intellectual disabilities, due to Daniel facing troubles. There he met his mentor [[Bob Proctor]], through a reading buddy program wherein they played board games and read together.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> Even after the program concluded, Daniel and Bob still remained close. | |||
Daniel even made it on the news, evidenced by a [https://youtube.com/watch?v=jyCZEd11Hdo 2012 news report on KWGN]. While not entirely focused on Daniel, it would would document his time at the [[Tennyson Center]], as well as a small interview with his grandmother. | |||

At school, Daniel was referred to almost exclusively as "Danny", even being called that in the his schools yearbook. Even so, according to claims from his classmates, Daniel has violent, even in class. One of his classmates remarks at a time wherein Daniel threw a chair at a window, and knocking down a light fixture.<ref>[[Canned Legs Leaks]]</ref> | |||
{{Quote|i also remember he threw a chair at the window in the computer lab that overlooked the library and knocked down one of the light fixtures. but yeah that sums it up lol}} | |||
And according to this same classmate, Daniel had a habit of running in the hallway in an attempt to evade staff. Because of this behaviour, Daniel was given a gaurdian that followed him around through the whole school day due to him no longer being trusted alone.<ref>[[Katie Elise]]</ref> Despite this, Daniel claims that this was not due to him being unable to be trusted, but because he had a very good relationship with his teachers.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> Considering Daniel's penchant of twisting details to make himself look more favorable, this is most likely a lie. | |||
Daniel | Daniel would start attending Sobesky Academy in 2016, the year it opened. It should be noted that Sobesky, while having a large population of children with special needs and behavioral issues, was not a special-needs only school. Daniel's time in Sobesky is mostly unknown, as Daniel seemingly hasn't talked much about his high-school years. According to [[FlyingFoxandwings AMA|someone who attended his high-school]], | ||
{{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.}} | {{Quote|He seemed pretty normal. He really had some issues with academic retention and he was very reserved.

Daniel would “graduate” from Sobesky Academy at the age of 19 in 2017. Sobesky Academy is a school which specializes in aiding children who have severe emotional issues. Daniel's age at the time of graduation was a bit higher when compared to his peers, and there are questions surrounding the validity of his high school diploma. The fact that he's around 19 at the point his graduation photo was taken but looks ~14 really shows how likely it is that he might have been born with fetal alcohol syndrome as it's known to cause slower childhood development.{{Citation Needed}} <gallery> | Daniel would “graduate” from Sobesky Academy at the age of 19 in 2017.
