The article discusses the case of YouTubers James and Myka Stauffer, who adopted a boy named Huxley and later decided to place him in a new home. Following their announcement in 2020, authorities conducted a well-being check after receiving concerned tips from viewers. An HBO documentary revisits this story, showcasing deleted content from the family's YouTube channel. A report from Detective Susanna Leonard revealed that Huxley appeared happy and well cared for in his new environment, though public reaction to the Stauffers' decision was mixed, with both supportive and angry responses from followers.
After receiving at least three phone tips from concerned viewers of the Stauffer's YouTube videos, authorities investigated.
Detective Susanna Leonard of the Delaware County Sheriff's Office wrote that Huxley seemed very active and showed no signs of any abuse from what I could visually see.
Leonard concluded that Huxley seemed very happy and well taken care of, able to communicate through spoken words and sign language.
Some viewers responded kindly to the Stauffers' news of Huxley finding a new home, while others reacted with anger and threats.
