Caretaker: Daniel um.. he moved in fall of 2019, and he was kicked out spring of 2020 | |||
Caretaker: Uh.. I didn't even know that he was like, TikTok quote-unquote "famous" until last night uh.. I saw a random TikTok video with him in it, and I was like, "what the hell?" | |||
Caretaker: He came to my house, because from what I understand, the last host home kicked him out because of just, mass amounts of property damage. Uh, just like headbutting the walls, kicking the walls, um.. I was told that he just doesn't do well with females, and that with a male provider he would be much better | |||
Caretaker: Uh.. I probably had a good month and a half, two months, and then just hell broke loose. It's that the first couple months, we call that a [[Grace VanderWaal|grace]] period, when they kind of get settled in, they're like excited to stay with the new family, whatever. Um- but yeah I mean it was absolutely terrible. *laughter* | |||
Caretaker: Um, kind of just putting a background first here before we get into the, the good shit, um.. so what else? Also, it's considered person centered services, it's different when they're an adult, um, you do not have the ability to, like, take their human rights away. So if he does not wanna take his meds, doesn't have to take them. If he's his own guardian, which he was. | |||
Caretaker: Um.. if he wants therapy, he has the right to have it, you can refuse employment, you can refuse it's.. it's difficult, so like when you're working with an individual like Daniel who kind of has this delusional mindset of that, you know, he's gonna be famous, all these people love him, he's a movie star, a singer, he's more focused on that and just throws away all of the opportunities that are presented to him to help his mental health. | |||
Caretaker: Um, and [[Bob Proctor|Bob]], yeah, and Bob, he enabled that. | |||
Curator: Oh, so did you get to meet Bob? | |||
Caretaker: Yeah, he came over to the house multiple times. Honestly, like, as a person Bob's great, at least when I worked with him, um.. he's very pleasant, and obviously he cared about Daniel's safety, um.. but he had absolutely no idea how to work with someone with a disability. | |||
Caretaker: I'm still trying to get, like I said, I just discovered this last night, so I'm still kind of watching all the videos and the [[YouTube Documentaries|documentaries]] and updates on Daniel, which has been extremely interesting to see, um.. but I mean, yeah, like, in the home, I- I advocated for him to get SOB(?) therapy, which is uh, therapy for individuals who engage in, like, grooming. Potential, like, pedophiles or people that have, like, really bad sexual boundaries. | |||
Caretaker: Um, I can tell you just with living with me, uh.. he was trying to groom all of my other individuals, who are much less functioning than him. He kept, um, trying- grooming is just, sorry, grooming is like uh, you know, manipulating them into, like, favors. Like, giving them things to get things in return. Um.. he was doing that a lot, um, like sexually grooming people. Um.. bribing them. | |||
Caretaker: Um, so this- I was able to get cameras installed in the home, which is a very, VERY difficult restriction to get in the state, but because of Daniel's behaviours, I- you know, I was able to get it through. | |||
Caretaker: I also saw there was an incident, with like, [[The Toothbrush Incident|a toothbrush]]? Um, that honestly doesn't suprise me, so uh, when he got kicked out of my house, uh, he basically was arrested at my house, um.. for assaulting his roommate. Um.. I'd like, restrain him and hold him, hold him down on my front porch until the police got there, cause he kept trying to bite me. | |||
Caretaker: Yeah I have like, a massive scar on my, uh, left forearm from him *laughter* But as far as like, the toothbrush thing goes, uh when I had to clean his room out, um, I had found one of my used drumsticks, that was all splintered, and it was covered in shit. Um.. there were mutliple phone cords that were also covered in shit, um.. he had a Barbie doll that was covered in shit. So that- yeah, i mean, he- he's a very sexualized individual *laughter* | |||
Caretaker: I've taken care of so many individuals, like physical- like physically aggresive individuals, extremely, like, emotionally damaged individuals, low functioning, high functioning, um, they all to some extent have some motivation to, like, do better for themselves. Daniel is the only one that didn't. Like, everyone was a liar, everyone was against him. | |||
Curator: Do you know about one of Daniel's old roommates, [[Ryan]]? Daniel claims he was sexually assaulted by him. | |||
Caretaker: I- I know him very well, um.. do you know.. so Ryan lives with me still. Yes, I've had Ryan from the start. Ryan has some.. similar sexual behaviors to Daniel. Ryan isn't quite as high functioning and he doesn't understand his actions as much. Typically, Ryan will groom people, but Daniel kind of being more alpha in the sense that he is a little, you know, his IQ is a bit higher, he knows, you know- Daniel would groom HIM instead, and yeah. | |||
Caretaker: That was one of the- that was one of the individuals that I was talking about earlier, you know, that he kept grooming in the household. | |||
Caretaker: Um.. I mean there are multiple times where I would wake up in the middle of the night cause my cameras would go off and Daniel would try to sneak into Ryans room | |||
Caretaker: Yeah I-It went back and forth but with no doubt in my mind, Daniel kind of controlled that situation. | |||
Curator: So was he delusional about his fame when he lived with you? | |||
Caretaker: Yeah! Yeah, I mean, he always used the term "his fans", like oh, "my fans need to know what I'm doing", or "my fans are waiting for me", um.. thats why he refused to go in, like, day programs. They're kind of like a day rehabilitation center. Um, he- he didn't wanna engage in any of that, because he was too devoted to, you know, his fans. | |||
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. He would, he would run like 10 miles and then just refuse to take a shower and all I could smell was, just, sweat throughout my house. | |||
Caretaker: Yeah, I think when he lived with me he maybe had taken three or four showers? And that was over the course of like I said, maybe eight months. | |||
