This. Absolutely this. I love when couples have a kid they refuse to show them besides a "here's a baby shaped thing I'm holding but you won't get to see their face or actual body"
Peet is great i feel like it's his brother who's the issue I actually changed my mind the way peet talks ab wanting to be little is disturbing I just watched one of his videos in the comments he was asking y he couldn't be little for just one day
I don’t see the problem with posting pictures/videos of your kid if you aren’t famous, and even if you are famous as long as you aren’t turning your children into “content”
Nah. Your opinion is very correct. Posting is innocent, the fact the comments are left on.. it’s sick. She’s young, she’s a baby. There’s no reason to let that mob destroy her.
You’re so right tho like he can fully turn the comments off and doesn’t? Seems like he doesn’t care what kind of attention he gets just as long as people are interacting with the content
I don’t think he’s doing it on purpose. It’s just unsettling when his initial conversation about people bullying his daughter’s condition absolutely no one gave a crap and it never stopped. If this family feels like turning shit around just to stir the pot let them. There’s shows like Little Women and they’ve been ruining the stigma of how they’re viewed. Shiit y’all don’t have this condition so leave it be
@ idk, if I saw hate about my son online I would 100% delete it all. Or at least stop posting my child. It’s like they think any attention is good attention and that is NOT true.
@@karma_in_affect right, like I understand hate happens but he did NOTHING about it. That’s what was wrong. Not the posting in general. The fact he saw it all happen, and just continued because he’s ‘viral’
Pete and his brother have this weird sibling rivalry going on where Pete feels left out of the family for not being born a dwarf, and his brother feels resentment towards Pete for not being born tall (especially because he always wanted to be a successful athlete), I have always felt that Peet's brother created a social media account to compete with Peet. And I think his brother is willing to sacrifice his dignity and the dignity of his children to surpass Peet's fame.
I've watched a couple of Pete's videos and he's mentioned him and his brother having tea with each other but I never realized it was this severe. It's very weird and disturbing and I agree with you that there's probably a lot of resentment between them. Pete is envious of his brother because he feels left out/like the black sheep and his brother is jealous that he's not got Dwarfism etc.
@@Nopee906 yes and that is bad but Pete's brother is their FATHER. It should be his first priority to protect his girls, and still he not only lets Pete post them online but does it himself way more than Pete does
I once recieved a reply that said "Well, i was SA'd when i was 9 and it didn't bother me at all. you guys are just soft." and its like????? um no SA is never ok. glad you don't feel victimized, but SA is not 'nothing'
What I find so wild about people who leave comments like "I experienced XYZ type of abuse and I turned out fine so you're all just too soft" is that they have zero self awareness about how their comment is exhibit A in regards to how they in fact did not turn out fine. I really wish they would just take a moment to genuinely reflect on why hearing someone else talking openly about the abuse they went through and how it's negatively affected them makes them so upset/angry instead of making a fellow abuse survivor feel like shit for having the bravery to be vulnerable.
@@marmalade8915Pedophiles also like to larp as CSA victims online to discount the pain of what real victims went through. It's their weird way of trying to justify what they do to children to themselves and others. I also believe they get off to it somewhat. Just keep that in mind as a possibility.
Damn. Was it the same person who has replied on my comments ?! 😅 i don't know why there are so many people I don't know why some people want to spread their misery and just be contradictory.
@@marmalade8915 Yes they could be in denial, totally possible. But, if they are like the people who were my SA’ers “sympathizers”, unfortunately they were once victims, but they allowed this person to hurt more people. These types of Perpetual victims can be dangerous, and they sometimes do have a mindset that is toxic due to their experiences. However, some perpetual victims who turn into abusers present themselves a more vulnerable way to lure others in. As I don’t personally know this commenter, this is all based off my personal experiences and classes ive taken.
I really like Peet but I avoid his brothers content because those poor baby's have no idea the world of hate waiting for them when they finally get online themselves and that's not fair to them.
@@Anne10-k4u yeah but I get the sense that he wants to be a father or have a family of his own... I just don't understand why adoption was out of the question if he knew his child might have complications, or that why he felt the need to post his children online? No one should be posting their kids online :(
Hell once they get to middle school. Like sure Peet’s more popular than his brother is, but it’s not like his brothers unknown. Even if they’re not given internet access until they’re 18 imagine going to school with kids who have read those comments about you!
@@notsorry3631 You'd be surprised. Many times I've seen someone say some dumb shit and I'm like, "they're probably 12" but then I click on their profile and it's a 45 year old man.

As a parent that has two kids who have two non-binary parents. We both go by Dad, I just don't understand why people need to comment anything about anything. I think being able to comment anything other than something nice or a compliment shouldn't be around.
No it’s anonymity, if we were anonymous irl, (and that includes prevention from getting punched 😅) we’d be equally as cruel. Comments don’t shield you it’s the fact that no one knows you.
@@lixxx_kip "We'd be equally as cruel" speak for yourself. I think if you're only nice when you won't get in trouble then you just aren't a nice person to begin with.
Shouldn’t we try to engage with bad people with our good intentions? If good people can be influenced by bad people can’t bad people be influenced by good?
I was getting more and more pissed off at the people that kept calling his child " it " and " thing " like wtf is wrong with people? That is a PERSON, a CHILD, a BABY at that, with fucking feelings! She/he ( I forget I am so mad ) can't help how they ( again, forgot ) was born. These people need to take a step back about how they themselves would feel if they went on social media and saw THOUSANDS of comments saying that they shouldn't exist, being called " it " and " thing " basically not being considered a human being with feelings, and basically betting on and praying for their downfall and to have a rough life. They sure as hell wouldn't like it so why is it okay in their eyes for them to do it about a BABY?!
@@erinmefford8041 usually people will call young children “baby” even if they’re not actually a baby. They say that to prove how young the child is, that it’s basically still a baby in their eyes. Even if they’re 4 years old
I think ik what he means about "dating family". I can't date guys who look like my dad and brother. The height, race, etc. I can't get past the whole "you could pass for my brother/relative" thing.
I’m like that with names, I have too many siblings and can’t date someone with a relative’s name… like my dad and uncle are both named “Mark” and I refuse to date someone named that, it’s gross to me.
@silasprice8593 take it from me had a 6 yr long relationship with a guy with the same name as my brother. It was annoying, cringe, you name it 😆 just started telling my brother if he isn't adressed as bubba/bubby it ain't him I'm referring to.
As a disabled person (autistic and unspecified physical issues) I do find it kinda weird for ppl to wish they were born with a disability. You don’t need to be disabled to understand what we go through - you just need to listen to us when we speak about it.
I’m autistic too! I do not struggle with physical disability however I have a perspective on disability since autism is a disability although mostly invisible. I get mad when I see autistic kids get filmed. Same with other disabled kids because of that. If it pisses me off, I can only imagine how much it pisses off other disabled people, especially those who are physically disabled.
to be fair to him, i dont think the desire from him is to be disabled or to want that for his kids. he probably just wants to be normal the way his family is normal.
Exactly. I’m disabled. I have several medical conditions, one in particular that has caused physical abnormalities, just like dwarfism. I would find it strange if someone wanted kids with me specifically because I’m disabled. It’s just as bad a people telling me that they don’t want to have kids with me specifically because I’m disabled, which has happened. It’s the same thing to me. It’s just delivered differently. It’s creepy. It’s cruel. And it makes me feel like I’m their little inspirational p0rn or if they don’t want to have kids with me, I’m their little reject. Either way, fuk you.

My heart breaks for those kids because like you said, we KNOW they are going to eventually stumble upon those comments if they haven’t yet. I could not handle that
Reminder: A lot of people with dwarfism prefer to be called little people, not everyone is okay with being called a dwarf. Just ask the person what they're okay with being called.
I was going to say the same thing. Aubrey Smalls has some excellent content on this subject. The term ‘dwarf’ is outdated and many consider it to be a slur. ‘Little person’, or ‘person with dwarfism’ are generally preferred terms. Aubrey finds the term ‘dwarf’ offensive, but he acknowledges that some little people refer to themselves as ‘dwarves’ and that’s totally their prerogative, but that people without dwarfism shouldn’t be using the term unless a person with dwarfism has expressed that they want to be referred to that way. Aubrey was a child entertainer who learned juggling and magic tricks at a young age. He was spotted by a talent scout and joined a circus, and he was treated like a sideshow freak. He loved performing in the circus, but he realised he wasn’t there because he was a talented magician, he was there because he was a little person, and people thought his mere existence was funny. He was constantly referred to as a “dwarf”, and I understand why he hates the term.
@@Ekiwixowhy would calling them what they are be offenzive? They have dwarftism, therefore they are a dwarf I have autisum and and therefore am austitc... Like should people call me a person with autisum instead of saying "they are autistc"? Like.. That sounds stupid and is longer to type/say Also not that you waid this but not wanting to have dwarf kids isnt ableist, people want HEALTHY babies, its not ableist to want the best Outcome for your potential offspring. And the best outcome would be a 100% healthy child imo My dad was a diabetic, my mom asked the doctor if it was genetic becuase she didnt want us to have a life long health problem if she could prevent it that is a GOOD parent.

Just looked more into double dwarfism. It sounds like the younger girl is 4, and does indeed have a type of double dwarfism, but hers may not be as fatal because she inherited two different versions of dwarfism from her parents. Usually, children with “traditional” double dwarfism don’t live past 12 months.
@@froggy5748I'm sorry but doing a documentary on a disabled person/child is ok if your doing it correctly and doing it to spread awareness about their condition to warn others about how serious the condition is and if there's any curses for it or to spread more CORRECT and INFORMATIVE information
@ none of what is shown in this video is even close to a documentary. additionally, a story time video is also not a documentary. idk why that’s your argument to me???
He's one of many parents on social media like this.. not that it makes ANY of it okay. It's also incredibly common for these disgusting excuses of caregivers to simply turn off the ability to comment when they see the shameless (they rarely hide!!) predators in the comment section. These people care more about money and popularity than their children's safety.
I don’t follow Peet super closely but watch is stuff every now and a while back there was a very where he was super relived he wouldn’t be able to pass on achondroplasia because of the health issues and and pain associated with it. If I’m not mistaken people in that comment section were like “why are you so happy about this? You don’t want a little person as a child?” Anyways so I am a little confused. But I also understand that people can have mixed emotions on things. And like I said I don’t follow super closely so I could be missing something.
I think it's understandable to want your hypothetical child to belong (his entire family except him has achondroplasia) while not wanting them to suffer because the condition is painful and comes with discrimination outside of the family.
It also comes with health risks and complications and I believe his mother had been having some trouble when her health around the time he found out. There's nothing wrong with not wanting your child to face pain or health risks. I think it's very normal to be relieved by the fact your child won't have the risk of having more health risks. You can love your family and their differences and still be torn apart by the pain they face.
I think he has been mostly honest with the general tone of his feelings and has gone through stages as he processes. He felt relieved over the physical nature of the discovery, and perhaps here is working through the social considerations. I don't watch Peet regularly, but I really like everything I have seen. I haven't seen his brother unless they are on Peet's channel.
It’s kinda weird to see a comment section that’s okay with children being put online. Children shouldn’t be online. Anyone who’s studied child development will tell you children shouldn’t be online at the very least before 13. They can talk about disability and combat stigma as grown adults with the same disability, we don’t have to take advantage of our children. Cause that’s what it is, no matter the good intention you turned your child into money. Privacy is dead.
i'm interested to hear how you feel about him calling people "dwarfs"? idk to me it feels weird like he could've said people with dwarfism or little people. saying dwarf feels dehumanizing to me, but i'm interested to hear what a person who experiences it thinks.
@@arsonfrog69__97 Me personally, i have no problem with the term ‘dwarf’ because it clarifies that i have a type of dwarfism the only term that i have a problem with is the M word, which is often used as an insult :)
@ollieno971 It was a few months ago I think. He made a few posts talking about how his mother was in the hospital, showed some clips of her at the hospital with her face blurred, and was talking about how his mother didn't want people to know why she was there. I think he also posted a video of when she first got back home but I may be wrong about that
I see eugenics being used to get rid of crippling disabilities to be a good thing, actually. Source: I'm neurodivergent/disabled (autistic) and I fucking hate being like that.
Telling other people not to reproduce is literally eugenics. It's more than ableism. It's the definition of eugenics. There's a reason we don't do that.
Well….a lot of people shouldn’t. Having kids on purpose, knowing they will suffer painfully and/or die very young is a selfish and bad decision. You are willfully and knowingly forcing another human to come into the world even though they’re guaranteed to have a debilitating genetic condition - and if they get to adulthood, they’ll have to deal with the same emotional and ethical dilemma around kids too: There are a multitude of already alive kids who need families. Plenty of whom are also disabled and would greatly benefit from being taken into a family who really understands them and their life.
yeah, but also having kids knowing that they'll suffer because of you is even more cruel. for example if two people got together and they both carry the gene for sickle cell anemia that's fine but if they choose to have a kid or do nothing to prevent having a kid is absolutely not okay because that poor kid will suffer, same with other debilitating conditions, but if they have a kid with a partner who isn't a carrier like them or have the condition then it's fine because it'll just make them carriers or even might not even have that gene. It's about wanting what's best for your kid even if it means not having them. Having a kid out of selfishness and ignoring the condition you're living with or other family member live with is a terrible thing and those people should definitely face some consequences for letting their kid suffer. At the end of the day people will be people and do the selfish thing then claim they're doing their best as parents and that's something no one can change.
It's so sad to see but as a disabled person it's just so commonplace if you're visibly disabled on social media, especially if you're posting positive content like they are. Whether or not they should post their kids is kind of separate from the fact that you can't share your life at all without dodging bullies and it sucks to have to self-adjust for that.
4:41 Tbf I get where peet is coming from, I'm autistic and while I understand that having a child who's also autistic would be very challenging for them (I've had a lot of struggles in my life and it's not always fun) theres also that little bit in me that's like well the child would be like me, I know how to deal with myself, autism is what i'm used to.
Perfect take on this situation. Well done. Also, people are disgusting. We shouldn’t have to filter out bullying. We also shouldn’t be allowed to make money off of our kids.
If he loves his kids and he trusts doctors and science to help his children, then what is wrong about it :( He didn’t choose dwarfism. I would not take away giving birth just because of “poor genetics” that’s eugenics at its finest. He should disable comments, or certain words at least.
Agreed, like honestly there's only one way to take away a stigma and I think he's doing a good job of it but just showing daily life with the disability how it affects his kids but also showing that they have a great quality of life at the same time because of science and doctors, but yeah, he should disable comments or limit them, or hire someone to handle that part
Not about this particular case but in general I don't think that if you have a very serious, lifelong disability that causes harm and pain passing it down to a child is a good idea. It just seems selfish to me. "Yeah, I know that there's a huge chance the kid is going to suffer and probably have terrible quality of life but I still want to conceive because I want to have a biological kid"
So, I am chronically sick and I do make jokes on my illnesses because it is a coping mechanism but, I also agree kids should be taken offline and should not be subjected to the harms of the internet.
I was born prematurely, and I had a brain bleed at 2 weeks. Because of this, I spent a long-ass time in the NICU, and I’ve had many brain surgeries. If my mom had posted pictures and videos of me when I was a baby in the hospital, I’d hate her ass so much.
Yes! I was born with a rare disability, and mine was noticeable at birth - which is almost unheard of, it usually isn't noticeable until walking age, but mine was VERY severe. I've had countless surgeries, spent almost every summer until I was 12 in a hip spica (waist down body) cast. Most people with my condition get one surgery and it is done, but I still suffer from it. I would be humiliated if my mom had been like an influencer and shared every bit of my journey. I won't lie, I can understand seeking help or even wanting to have online support. I could even understand wanting to give hope to others, especially other parents in a similar situation. But some people take it way too far.
Yea I left a reply but I want to comment this to make it clear: It is eugenics to try and tell someone ELSE whether or not they should pass on THEIR genes. If you are a little person and don't want to pass on your genes, that is not eugenics. If you judge and cast blame on people for simply having kids that could possibly have certain genes, that is eugenics. Okay? Okay. Edit: To be extra clear, this dad shouldn't post his kids at all. But it's cruel what people say and they don't even realize the implications.
People who believe disabled people shouldn't "pass on their genes" tend to have the misconception that all disabled lives are filled with constant misery. There are definitely hardships in my life, but there are also times I cherish life and am thankful to be alive. Our lives are just as nuanced as anyone else's.
@@Raven74408 People who don’t believe it is okay for people to side eye people who have a high chance of passing on genetic defects to their children also seem to ignore the fact that many disabled people, independent of discrimination, still would’ve preferred to have not experienced the suffering caused by their disorder.
I like Peet. I think some of his weird takes are really just click bait but he does a really good job normalizing his families challenges. His brother on the other hand…..
I will never understand why people ever make fun of disabled people for their disabilities. Sorry our lives are hell. Why does that bother you? Also when did eugenics become an acceptable thing to encourage? It is no one's business whether someone exists or not
The father should be held very very highly accountable for posting his kids, and when he “addresses” comments it’s just saying how it won’t bring HIM down and doesn’t take in account of his daughters. Pretty selfish and neglectful to me
It's bloody sick all those negative comments. Olivia is a very happy child. Yeah she has a lot of health problems but she is a beautiful human child that deserves respect
I can understand trying to continue posting as to not let these people win because the outcome they want is for the posts to stop and trying not to engage can sometimes work. But it’s gone too far and at the end of the day, they need to be safe and protected.
This world is not child friendly. You'd think grown ass adults would know that. This is a good example of how deluded and easily manipulated we are....to idolize people like this.
Been experiencing medical abuse for going on 3 years; I have absolutely no recourse. I've been battling the Canadian Healthcare system for 20 years: since I was 15 years old 😒
i think the reason he said he wouldnt want to fuck a dwarf is really simple- say someone has a white dog whos missing an eye who theyre very close to and they love very much, but that dog dies. then, they get the opportunity to get another white dog whos missing an eye. the problem is, they cant stop seeing the new dog as their old dog and it makes them cry everytime they see the new dog. i think its the same thing with pete.
It's honestly so sad and sickening seeing people comment these things on the videos but there has to be some blame on the dad if he's not doing anything to prevent this problem he's letting it happen yes it's not his fault people are making horrible comments like those but he has to have some level of accountability for this problem if this father haven't tried to stop the issue in any way
I believe that if you're going to post videos of your children, you should either disable comments or filter them thoroughly. No amount of money, whether or not he earns from TikTok, should persuade him to allow his kids to be degraded.
I’m physically disabled, and reproduction is a topic where people have a lot of varied opinions and priorities. Personally, with the amount of genetic fuckery I have, I don’t want to make offspring. If I ever have kids, I will adopt. This is a position my partner shares, as she also suspects she might pass on genetic/physical problems. I also understand that there are people out there who do want to biological children, and other people have different opinions on that. I think it all comes down to the fact that it’s each person’s choice, and the amount of comments shaming these parents for reproduction is unwarranted. It’s a conversation that they are not a part of, and you can’t demand that a stranger follows your exact opinion.
5:38 I can fully understand living in pain I have chronic pain so I have pain everyday, I can’t speak for people with achondroplasia but I wouldn’t wish a life of pain on anyone because it s so miserable.
i found the dad and kids account a while back and man they are super cute, it makes me forget about those gross comments.. you're completely right tho, those comments are disgusting. it's not just the dads fault but the social media as a whole. of course, there's nothing we can do about that tho :/
@@SkippysMisadventures yea. its just really fucking sad and frustrating that its normal for people to make jokes about sexualizing kids. it lets real predators hide in those jokes :/
Personally one of the main reasons I don't want to have biological children is that I was born with rheumatoid arthritis and it could give it to my child and I would never want my kid to suffer how I have, i wouldn't be able to live with myself
My dad’s mom had rheumatoid arthritis. She passed it down to him. And when he had me I had psoriasis. Obviously psoriasis isn’t the best, but I don’t resent him for having children at all. His life is amazing as well, he loved his mom with all of his heart, and never once resented her. Obviously, it’s your decision, but don’t let that be the only thing that holds you back from following your dreams of having a family.
If i was a short person and married a short person... God forgive me, i would not have children 🙏🏻 the things they go through most are born with difficulties, mentally and physically
Have you not seen Little People Big World? The parents are both dwarfs but only one of their children is a dwarf. They have 4 kids total. A set of twins, a daughter and a son. One of the twins is a dwarf.
For the first guy, truely I believe it’s a case of his entire family are little people, so he was raised around people making certain jokes which are okay for them to say as they are in that minority group it is aimed at, he believes it’s okay for him to say those jokes as he was raised around those type of jokes. And his family doesn’t tell him not stop because they probably believe it’s fine for him to do ableist jokes as he’s family and they taught him to do it without ill intent It’s more of an unfortunate case of people being raised in an environment that doesn’t carry well into any other environment, one of which that didn’t have bad intent as it was the minority group as the environment
I used to watch peet when he had like 1k subscribers! I didn't know he had gotten so big! I was fascinated with the cecil hotel and he lived across the street from it lol.
I don't necessarily think having kids is wrong, it can be great! But when you're thinking about having a kid you can't be selfish and just have a kid because you want to, you have to think about EVERYTHING. You need to think about your financial situation, poor genetics, and how all of this will affect your child. His kids are adorable! It's horrible that so many people are saying these poor little girls shouldn't be alive, I know what it's like to be dehumanized as a disabled person and I wouldn't even wish it on my worst enemy. :(
My sister was born very premature, and she’s in her late teens now. She’s almost an adult, and I’m a few years younger. I’m taller than her by a foot. She has been absolutely tortured at school for her height. She doesn’t have a lot of friends, and we’ve been recommended by the school to get her an emotional support dog (she has severe anxiety) that’s big to keep her kids away from her. If I was personally in their shoes, I’d never think of reproducing. It’s a hard decision to make, but knowing what these people go through, I would never want my child to go through that.
You think RUclips automatically disabling comments on videos with minors is a bad thing? Watch this video, and you’ll change your mind to say it’s a redeeming quality.
1:12 he also says that its genetic. He literally cant have one. Its really really unlikely. (Bc hes “normal” and has a regular chance as the rest of us of having dwarf kid) and he wont have one with a dwarf because they are like family to him.
I think the family is beautiful. But putting kids on the internet is a dangerous game. But people are being gross saying they shouldn't reproduce (i'm sure they know full well what the kid might deal with and will help her along the way). This is why I don't like most of humanity because people are just nasty to one another.
I dispise Andrew Montzingo. his whole social social media is "positive vibes only!" and yet he keeps his comments open. unmoderated. he disguists me. How could you even let your own children be bullied on the internet, while they're still young and have a disability?!
Thank you for this fundraiser. I just submitted it. Hopefully, I can get my medical equipment and supplies that I need that my insurance doesn’t pay for thank you.
I think it comes down to intention. When ppl are born with a disability, we understand it happens and we want to be supportive and accepting. When ppl know the risks are high and/ or INTENTIONALLY seek to have a disabled child, it seems cruel to the child, and selfish on the parents behalf. The suffering is real, and it feels like intentional infliction of distress.
I feel so bad for the kids they are normal people they have a disability that doesn’t make them less of a human don’t involve your kids with the Internet The Internet might be nice sometimes but the Internet can also be toxic
Asking for a dwarf baby is like asking for a albino baby, they're going to have hundreds of issues and be in constant pain. Plus it's going to be super expensive for meds and doctor visits AND there's always a chance of them having SUPER weak immune system's and dying young.
i think the thing at the beginning of the video with peet talking abt not having a dwarf kid was a joke. he’s probably not sincerely sad abt not having a child with horribly painful disabilities he’s kinda bringing light to a topic that can get heavy.
I don’t like some of the comments even in here, like blaming the parents for even having children, knowing they’d most likely have medical issues. It’s their choice. Saying disabled people shouldn’t reproduce because they’ll have disabled kids is cruel to both the parents and the kids. I think it’s rather ableist and borders on eugenics. I don’t think you’re advocating for the children like you think you are. All kids should be kept off the Internet, or at least the comments off, but saying these girls’ very existence as bad and wrong is wild to me.
Thank you for sharing and supporting. Unfortunately. You can't stop people from posting natives thoughts. It is important things don't get the best out of you. I love that you are supportive. Thank you for understanding

I don't care if peopke just post their kids online if they're not going extreme with it like a lot of vloggers do. I enjoy watching people with their kids cuz I can't have them myself. But when someone sees they constantly get comments like this I don't get why people wouldn't stop putting them online. You should protect you child. Like I don't know why they would post their kids online anyway because surely they knew with them being visibly disabled they would get extremely bullied. It's unfortunate fact that many people with disabilities especially visible ones they WILL get bullied online. Once they're older teens or adults that's one thing but don't post kids online knowing what will happen. Yes it's a shame you can't share your family with people but toxic ass bullies WILL find your posts and post disgusting comments on them just because they don't have a life and are bored.
My man, Jake, Little People Big World featured two dwarf parents that had a couple average height kids. It definitely happens. Love the video btw, and glad you’re talking about this because I get realllll sucked into this family’s videos sometimes and haven’t been able to put into words about the brothers videos hahahah
I know this is a bit off topic but you’re one of my favorite guys ever just because you use your platform for actual fucking good. As a mentally and physically disabled person it means so much to see you using your experience to help other people. Hope you have a lovely day/night Jake :)!!!
Yeah, the first time I heard of this was on the show big people little world. That couple only has one dwarf son their other two kids are regular size.
We should all agree on two things here: You should NEVER post yours or other children on the Internet, period. Two, the people commenting on these things about children are extremely terrible people and should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
Just from watching the Little Women series, I know they have back, hip, spine, ear, knee, and digestive issues, as well as fluid on the brain. They talk about having upwards of 30 plus surgeries.
I like Peet Monzingo but I am firm that NO ONE should post their children on the internet.
That’s a bad take. And stupid too
This. Absolutely this. I love when couples have a kid they refuse to show them besides a "here's a baby shaped thing I'm holding but you won't get to see their face or actual body"
Peet is great i feel like it's his brother who's the issue I actually changed my mind the way peet talks ab wanting to be little is disturbing I just watched one of his videos in the comments he was asking y he couldn't be little for just one day
@@peaceandlove9750yea I completely agree
I don’t see the problem with posting pictures/videos of your kid if you aren’t famous, and even if you are famous as long as you aren’t turning your children into “content”
Nah. Your opinion is very correct. Posting is innocent, the fact the comments are left on.. it’s sick. She’s young, she’s a baby. There’s no reason to let that mob destroy her.
You’re so right tho like he can fully turn the comments off and doesn’t? Seems like he doesn’t care what kind of attention he gets just as long as people are interacting with the content
I don’t think he’s doing it on purpose. It’s just unsettling when his initial conversation about people bullying his daughter’s condition absolutely no one gave a crap and it never stopped. If this family feels like turning shit around just to stir the pot let them. There’s shows like Little Women and they’ve been ruining the stigma of how they’re viewed. Shiit y’all don’t have this condition so leave it be
@ idk, if I saw hate about my son online I would 100% delete it all. Or at least stop posting my child. It’s like they think any attention is good attention and that is NOT true.
@@karma_in_affect right, like I understand hate happens but he did NOTHING about it. That’s what was wrong. Not the posting in general. The fact he saw it all happen, and just continued because he’s ‘viral’
in his recent content his wife seems absolutely over the camera, i assume it’s because she only knows what is to behold in the comments
Pete and his brother have this weird sibling rivalry going on where Pete feels left out of the family for not being born a dwarf, and his brother feels resentment towards Pete for not being born tall (especially because he always wanted to be a successful athlete), I have always felt that Peet's brother created a social media account to compete with Peet. And I think his brother is willing to sacrifice his dignity and the dignity of his children to surpass Peet's fame.
Im so glad I wasnt the only one who got this feeling
Yeah, I picked on that when watching both of them. I don’t follow Peet’s brother because I don’t think he’s as genuine as Peet.
Peet also posts these children online.
I've watched a couple of Pete's videos and he's mentioned him and his brother having tea with each other but I never realized it was this severe. It's very weird and disturbing and I agree with you that there's probably a lot of resentment between them. Pete is envious of his brother because he feels left out/like the black sheep and his brother is jealous that he's not got Dwarfism etc.
@@Nopee906 yes and that is bad but Pete's brother is their FATHER. It should be his first priority to protect his girls, and still he not only lets Pete post them online but does it himself way more than Pete does
I once recieved a reply that said "Well, i was SA'd when i was 9 and it didn't bother me at all. you guys are just soft." and its like????? um no SA is never ok. glad you don't feel victimized, but SA is not 'nothing'
What I find so wild about people who leave comments like "I experienced XYZ type of abuse and I turned out fine so you're all just too soft" is that they have zero self awareness about how their comment is exhibit A in regards to how they in fact did not turn out fine. I really wish they would just take a moment to genuinely reflect on why hearing someone else talking openly about the abuse they went through and how it's negatively affected them makes them so upset/angry instead of making a fellow abuse survivor feel like shit for having the bravery to be vulnerable.
I HIGHLY doubt that it doesn't affect them at all, you can suppress it, but that just makes you feel worse in other ways, sounds like hard denial
@@marmalade8915Pedophiles also like to larp as CSA victims online to discount the pain of what real victims went through. It's their weird way of trying to justify what they do to children to themselves and others. I also believe they get off to it somewhat. Just keep that in mind as a possibility.
Damn. Was it the same person who has replied on my comments ?! 😅 i don't know why there are so many people I don't know why some people want to spread their misery and just be contradictory.
@@marmalade8915 Yes they could be in denial, totally possible. But, if they are like the people who were my SA’ers “sympathizers”, unfortunately they were once victims, but they allowed this person to hurt more people. These types of Perpetual victims can be dangerous, and they sometimes do have a mindset that is toxic due to their experiences. However, some perpetual victims who turn into abusers present themselves a more vulnerable way to lure others in. As I don’t personally know this commenter, this is all based off my personal experiences and classes ive taken.
I really like Peet but I avoid his brothers content because those poor baby's have no idea the world of hate waiting for them when they finally get online themselves and that's not fair to them.
yea na same. i love peet but his brother i dont
His brother chose to have another child knowing that there might be complications or serious health problems
@@Anne10-k4u yeah but I get the sense that he wants to be a father or have a family of his own... I just don't understand why adoption was out of the question if he knew his child might have complications, or that why he felt the need to post his children online? No one should be posting their kids online :(
Hell once they get to middle school. Like sure Peet’s more popular than his brother is, but it’s not like his brothers unknown. Even if they’re not given internet access until they’re 18 imagine going to school with kids who have read those comments about you!

As a disabled person (autistic and unspecified physical issues) I do find it kinda weird for ppl to wish they were born with a disability. You don’t need to be disabled to understand what we go through - you just need to listen to us when we speak about it.
I’m autistic too! I do not struggle with physical disability however I have a perspective on disability since autism is a disability although mostly invisible. I get mad when I see autistic kids get filmed. Same with other disabled kids because of that. If it pisses me off, I can only imagine how much it pisses off other disabled people, especially those who are physically disabled.
to be fair to him, i dont think the desire from him is to be disabled or to want that for his kids. he probably just wants to be normal the way his family is normal.
Exactly. I’m disabled. I have several medical conditions, one in particular that has caused physical abnormalities, just like dwarfism. I would find it strange if someone wanted kids with me specifically because I’m disabled. It’s just as bad a people telling me that they don’t want to have kids with me specifically because I’m disabled, which has happened. It’s the same thing to me. It’s just delivered differently. It’s creepy. It’s cruel. And it makes me feel like I’m their little inspirational p0rn or if they don’t want to have kids with me, I’m their little reject.
Either way, fuk you.

My heart breaks for those kids because like you said, we KNOW they are going to eventually stumble upon those comments if they haven’t yet. I could not handle that
Reminder: A lot of people with dwarfism prefer to be called little people, not everyone is okay with being called a dwarf. Just ask the person what they're okay with being called.
to be fair, the family seems to use the term for themselves online, fron what I've seen
I was going to say the same thing. Aubrey Smalls has some excellent content on this subject. The term ‘dwarf’ is outdated and many consider it to be a slur. ‘Little person’, or ‘person with dwarfism’ are generally preferred terms. Aubrey finds the term ‘dwarf’ offensive, but he acknowledges that some little people refer to themselves as ‘dwarves’ and that’s totally their prerogative, but that people without dwarfism shouldn’t be using the term unless a person with dwarfism has expressed that they want to be referred to that way.
Aubrey was a child entertainer who learned juggling and magic tricks at a young age. He was spotted by a talent scout and joined a circus, and he was treated like a sideshow freak. He loved performing in the circus, but he realised he wasn’t there because he was a talented magician, he was there because he was a little person, and people thought his mere existence was funny. He was constantly referred to as a “dwarf”, and I understand why he hates the term.
It definitely comes down to the individual as I know some people HATE being labeled as a “little person” and prefer dwarf.
@@Ekiwixowhy would calling them what they are be offenzive?

Just looked more into double dwarfism. It sounds like the younger girl is 4, and does indeed have a type of double dwarfism, but hers may not be as fatal because she inherited two different versions of dwarfism from her parents. Usually, children with “traditional” double dwarfism don’t live past 12 months.

He's one of many parents on social media like this.. not that it makes ANY of it okay. It's also incredibly common for these disgusting excuses of caregivers to simply turn off the ability to comment when they see the shameless (they rarely hide!!) predators in the comment section. These people care more about money and popularity than their children's safety.
I don’t follow Peet super closely but watch is stuff every now and a while back there was a very where he was super relived he wouldn’t be able to pass on achondroplasia because of the health issues and and pain associated with it. If I’m not mistaken people in that comment section were like “why are you so happy about this? You don’t want a little person as a child?”
Anyways so I am a little confused. But I also understand that people can have mixed emotions on things. And like I said I don’t follow super closely so I could be missing something.
I think it's understandable to want your hypothetical child to belong (his entire family except him has achondroplasia) while not wanting them to suffer because the condition is painful and comes with discrimination outside of the family.
It also comes with health risks and complications and I believe his mother had been having some trouble when her health around the time he found out. There's nothing wrong with not wanting your child to face pain or health risks. I think it's very normal to be relieved by the fact your child won't have the risk of having more health risks. You can love your family and their differences and still be torn apart by the pain they face.
I think he has been mostly honest with the general tone of his feelings and has gone through stages as he processes. He felt relieved over the physical nature of the discovery, and perhaps here is working through the social considerations. I don't watch Peet regularly, but I really like everything I have seen. I haven't seen his brother unless they are on Peet's channel.

It’s kinda weird to see a comment section that’s okay with children being put online. Children shouldn’t be online. Anyone who’s studied child development will tell you children shouldn’t be online at the very least before 13. They can talk about disability and combat stigma as grown adults with the same disability, we don’t have to take advantage of our children. Cause that’s what it is, no matter the good intention you turned your child into money. Privacy is dead.
hi Jake I have Achondroplasia which i think is the same condition as Peets brother, I’m free to chat if you have any questions
i'm interested to hear how you feel about him calling people "dwarfs"?

Telling other people not to reproduce is literally eugenics. It's more than ableism. It's the definition of eugenics. There's a reason we don't do that.
Well….a lot of people shouldn’t. Having kids on purpose, knowing they will suffer painfully and/or die very young is a selfish and bad decision. You are willfully and knowingly forcing another human to come into the world even though they’re guaranteed to have a debilitating genetic condition - and if they get to adulthood, they’ll have to deal with the same emotional and ethical dilemma around kids too: There are a multitude of already alive kids who need families. Plenty of whom are also disabled and would greatly benefit from being taken into a family who really understands them and their life.
@@zbcrazyJust understand you’re a eugenicist
Its kind of a stupid reason, though.
yeah, but also having kids knowing that they'll suffer because of you is even more cruel. for example if two people got together and they both carry the gene for sickle cell anemia that's fine but if they choose to have a kid or do nothing to prevent having a kid is absolutely not okay because that poor kid will suffer, same with other debilitating conditions, but if they have a kid with a partner who isn't a carrier like them or have the condition then it's fine because it'll just make them carriers or even might not even have that gene.
It's about wanting what's best for your kid even if it means not having them. Having a kid out of selfishness and ignoring the condition you're living with or other family member live with is a terrible thing and those people should definitely face some consequences for letting their kid suffer.
At the end of the day people will be people and do the selfish thing then claim they're doing their best as parents and that's something no one can change.
@@Kiwiiismama I need y’all to understand this is still eugenics
It's so sad to see but as a disabled person it's just so commonplace if you're visibly disabled on social media, especially if you're posting positive content like they are. Whether or not they should post their kids is kind of separate from the fact that you can't share your life at all without dodging bullies and it sucks to have to self-adjust for that.

He didn’t choose dwarfism. I would not take away giving birth just because of “poor genetics” that’s eugenics at its finest.
He should disable comments, or certain words at least.
Agreed, like honestly there's only one way to take away a stigma and I think he's doing a good job of it but just showing daily life with the disability how it affects his kids but also showing that they have a great quality of life at the same time because of science and doctors, but yeah, he should disable comments or limit them, or hire someone to handle that part
yes
Not about this particular case but in general I don't think that if you have a very serious, lifelong disability that causes harm and pain passing it down to a child is a good idea. It just seems selfish to me. "Yeah, I know that there's a huge chance the kid is going to suffer and probably have terrible quality of life but I still want to conceive because I want to have a biological kid"

So, I am chronically sick and I do make jokes on my illnesses because it is a coping mechanism but, I also agree kids should be taken offline and should not be subjected to the harms of the internet.
I was born prematurely, and I had a brain bleed at 2 weeks. Because of this, I spent a long-ass time in the NICU, and I’ve had many brain surgeries. If my mom had posted pictures and videos of me when I was a baby in the hospital, I’d hate her ass so much.
Yes! I was born with a rare disability, and mine was noticeable at birth - which is almost unheard of, it usually isn't noticeable until walking age, but mine was VERY severe. I've had countless surgeries, spent almost every summer until I was 12 in a hip spica (waist down body) cast. Most people with my condition get one surgery and it is done, but I still suffer from it. I would be humiliated if my mom had been like an influencer and shared every bit of my journey.
I won't lie, I can understand seeking help or even wanting to have online support. I could even understand wanting to give hope to others, especially other parents in a similar situation. But some people take it way too far.

Like cmon, disabling comments and blurring faces isnt that hard. my heart aches for them
Like this guy should blur faces...he's exploiting as well
Yea I left a reply but I want to comment this to make it clear: It is eugenics to try and tell someone ELSE whether or not they should pass on THEIR genes. If you are a little person and don't want to pass on your genes, that is not eugenics. If you judge and cast blame on people for simply having kids that could possibly have certain genes, that is eugenics. Okay? Okay.
Edit: To be extra clear, this dad shouldn't post his kids at all. But it's cruel what people say and they don't even realize the implications.
People who believe disabled people shouldn't "pass on their genes" tend to have the misconception that all disabled lives are filled with constant misery. There are definitely hardships in my life, but there are also times I cherish life and am thankful to be alive. Our lives are just as nuanced as anyone else's.

It's bloody sick all those negative comments. Olivia is a very happy child. Yeah she has a lot of health problems but she is a beautiful human child that deserves respect
I can understand trying to continue posting as to not let these people win because the outcome they want is for the posts to stop and trying not to engage can sometimes work. But it’s gone too far and at the end of the day, they need to be safe and protected.
3:21 that is his actual baby photo
Oh
This world is not child friendly. You'd think grown ass adults would know that. This is a good example of how deluded and easily manipulated we are....to idolize people like this.
Been experiencing medical abuse for going on 3 years; I have absolutely no recourse.
I've been battling the Canadian Healthcare system for 20 years: since I was 15 years old 😒
This world has just grown too comfortable with being cruel. It's very disheartening. Sensitivity is seen as weakness, rather than comfortable.
i think the reason he said he wouldnt want to fuck a dwarf is really simple- say someone has a white dog whos missing an eye who theyre very close to and they love very much, but that dog dies. then, they get the opportunity to get another white dog whos missing an eye. the problem is, they cant stop seeing the new dog as their old dog and it makes them cry everytime they see the new dog. i think its the same thing with pete.
I’ve seen this and felt like the hate was such a big problem. Glad you’re addressing it
It's honestly so sad and sickening seeing people comment these things on the videos but there has to be some blame on the dad if he's not doing anything to prevent this problem he's letting it happen yes it's not his fault people are making horrible comments like those but he has to have some level of accountability for this problem if this father haven't tried to stop the issue in any way
I believe that if you're going to post videos of your children, you should either disable comments or filter them thoroughly. No amount of money, whether or not he earns from TikTok, should persuade him to allow his kids to be degraded.
Or how about people not be jerks and comment awful stuff to them why should Andrew disable comments he has a ton of positive ones from his fans
@erinmefford8041 I really wish that was possible, But its the internet and there will always be more jerks than nice people.
@@erinmefford8041 yeah, WHO WOULD SAY THAT STUFF?? its not even his fault its the commenters that are being idiots, why??
I’m physically disabled, and reproduction is a topic where people have a lot of varied opinions and priorities. Personally, with the amount of genetic fuckery I have, I don’t want to make offspring. If I ever have kids, I will adopt. This is a position my partner shares, as she also suspects she might pass on genetic/physical problems.
I also understand that there are people out there who do want to biological children, and other people have different opinions on that. I think it all comes down to the fact that it’s each person’s choice, and the amount of comments shaming these parents for reproduction is unwarranted. It’s a conversation that they are not a part of, and you can’t demand that a stranger follows your exact opinion.
It is truly terrible that people are
now bullying innocent babies
5:38 I can fully understand living in pain I have chronic pain so I have pain everyday, I can’t speak for people with achondroplasia but I wouldn’t wish a life of pain on anyone because it s so miserable.
I think everything he said is fine and makes sense. The rule that you can only joke about it if it is personal to you applies here.
i found the dad and kids account a while back and man they are super cute, it makes me forget about those gross comments.. you're completely right tho, those comments are disgusting. it's not just the dads fault but the social media as a whole. of course, there's nothing we can do about that tho :/
That’s why the best thing to do is to not show your child. It pretty much eliminates the potentiality of a weirdo seeing him.
@@SkippysMisadventures yea. its just really fucking sad and frustrating that its normal for people to make jokes about sexualizing kids. it lets real predators hide in those jokes :/
@@JuliusDExactly, in the allegedly leaked Mr. Beast group chat Kris uses a pedophelia meme. Disgusting disgusting people
Personally one of the main reasons I don't want to have biological children is that I was born with rheumatoid arthritis and it could give it to my child and I would never want my kid to suffer how I have, i wouldn't be able to live with myself
My dad’s mom had rheumatoid arthritis. She passed it down to him. And when he had me I had psoriasis. Obviously psoriasis isn’t the best, but I don’t resent him for having children at all. His life is amazing as well, he loved his mom with all of his heart, and never once resented her. Obviously, it’s your decision, but don’t let that be the only thing that holds you back from following your dreams of having a family.
this does not compare to peet’s situation in the slightest. dwarfism is NOT a chronic disease. it’s a deformity.
@@quinndelin69 it still dose relate somewhat, they are both something that can cause suffering that can be passed down genetically
@@Just-MACCHEESE yeah, i'm also a lesbian so thats like the second main reason i wont have biological kids. most likely i'll adopt
@@flower-qu8oc ayyyy me to 😎😎🙏
If i was a short person and married a short person... God forgive me, i would not have children 🙏🏻 the things they go through most are born with difficulties, mentally and physically
Have you not seen Little People Big World? The parents are both dwarfs but only one of their children is a dwarf. They have 4 kids total. A set of twins, a daughter and a son. One of the twins is a dwarf.
For the first guy, truely I believe it’s a case of his entire family are little people, so he was raised around people making certain jokes which are okay for them to say as they are in that minority group it is aimed at, he believes it’s okay for him to say those jokes as he was raised around those type of jokes. And his family doesn’t tell him not stop because they probably believe it’s fine for him to do ableist jokes as he’s family and they taught him to do it without ill intent
It’s more of an unfortunate case of people being raised in an environment that doesn’t carry well into any other environment, one of which that didn’t have bad intent as it was the minority group as the environment
I used to watch peet when he had like 1k subscribers! I didn't know he had gotten so big! I was fascinated with the cecil hotel and he lived across the street from it lol.
I don't necessarily think having kids is wrong, it can be great! But when you're thinking about having a kid you can't be selfish and just have a kid because you want to, you have to think about EVERYTHING. You need to think about your financial situation, poor genetics, and how all of this will affect your child. His kids are adorable! It's horrible that so many people are saying these poor little girls shouldn't be alive, I know what it's like to be dehumanized as a disabled person and I wouldn't even wish it on my worst enemy. :(
Wonder if he'd be open to adopting dwarf children, they are sometimes abandoned due to their condition.
That last comment….how can anyone look at that and just leave it there my god
My sister was born very premature, and she’s in her late teens now. She’s almost an adult, and I’m a few years younger. I’m taller than her by a foot. She has been absolutely tortured at school for her height. She doesn’t have a lot of friends, and we’ve been recommended by the school to get her an emotional support dog (she has severe anxiety) that’s big to keep her kids away from her. If I was personally in their shoes, I’d never think of reproducing. It’s a hard decision to make, but knowing what these people go through, I would never want my child to go through that.
You think RUclips automatically disabling comments on videos with minors is a bad thing? Watch this video, and you’ll change your mind to say it’s a redeeming quality.
1:12 he also says that its genetic. He literally cant have one. Its really really unlikely. (Bc hes “normal” and has a regular chance as the rest of us of having dwarf kid) and he wont have one with a dwarf because they are like family to him.
I think the family is beautiful. But putting kids on the internet is a dangerous game. But people are being gross saying they shouldn't reproduce (i'm sure they know full well what the kid might deal with and will help her along the way). This is why I don't like most of humanity because people are just nasty to one another.
@@ROYALRAT123honestly, mind your own business. Not your family not your choice.
I dispise Andrew Montzingo. his whole social social media is "positive vibes only!" and yet he keeps his comments open. unmoderated. he disguists me.
How could you even let your own children be bullied on the internet, while they're still young and have a disability?!
I’ve always thought this but felt too uncomfortable to see if anyone felt similarly
Thank you for this fundraiser. I just submitted it. Hopefully, I can get my medical equipment and supplies that I need that my insurance doesn’t pay for thank you.
He’s kind to his family but he has a perfect life.
Nobody's kids should be online, the internet is so cruel.
I think it comes down to intention. When ppl are born with a disability, we understand it happens and we want to be supportive and accepting. When ppl know the risks are high and/ or INTENTIONALLY seek to have a disabled child, it seems cruel to the child, and selfish on the parents behalf. The suffering is real, and it feels like intentional infliction of distress.
Please stop saying Dwarf the correct term is little person
as soon as i get a job and can have extra money, i will be donating to never stop!!!
I feel so bad for the kids they are normal people they have a disability that doesn’t make them less of a human don’t involve your kids with the Internet The Internet might be nice sometimes but the Internet can also be toxic
Asking for a dwarf baby is like asking for a albino baby, they're going to have hundreds of issues and be in constant pain. Plus it's going to be super expensive for meds and doctor visits AND there's always a chance of them having SUPER weak immune system's and dying young.
The Shane and James Charles posters 💀💀
i think the thing at the beginning of the video with peet talking abt not having a dwarf kid was a joke. he’s probably not sincerely sad abt not having a child with horribly painful disabilities he’s kinda bringing light to a topic that can get heavy.
I don’t like some of the comments even in here, like blaming the parents for even having children, knowing they’d most likely have medical issues. It’s their choice. Saying disabled people shouldn’t reproduce because they’ll have disabled kids is cruel to both the parents and the kids. I think it’s rather ableist and borders on eugenics. I don’t think you’re advocating for the children like you think you are.
All kids should be kept off the Internet, or at least the comments off, but saying these girls’ very existence as bad and wrong is wild to me.
I agree with you! But it is not "on the border of", it literally is the definition of eugenics. /gen
Hot take: Eugenics is a good thing depending on how it's used.
(source: I'm disabled and I fucking hate being like that.)
Thank you for sharing and supporting. Unfortunately. You can't stop people from posting natives thoughts. It is important things don't get the best out of you. I love that you are supportive. Thank you for understanding
I filled out an application to your program....that's so beautiful you care like that, gives me some hope.facjng stage 4 cancer as a young mom of young kids is really reallying HARD. and ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't care if peopke just post their kids online if they're not going extreme with it like a lot of vloggers do. I enjoy watching people with their kids cuz I can't have them myself. But when someone sees they constantly get comments like this I don't get why people wouldn't stop putting them online. You should protect you child. Like I don't know why they would post their kids online anyway because surely they knew with them being visibly disabled they would get extremely bullied. It's unfortunate fact that many people with disabilities especially visible ones they WILL get bullied online. Once they're older teens or adults that's one thing but don't post kids online knowing what will happen. Yes it's a shame you can't share your family with people but toxic ass bullies WILL find your posts and post disgusting comments on them just because they don't have a life and are bored.
Thank you so much for speaking about this, I've seen this family before and it put such a bad taste in my mouth
My man, Jake, Little People Big World featured two dwarf parents that had a couple average height kids. It definitely happens.
Love the video btw, and glad you’re talking about this because I get realllll sucked into this family’s videos sometimes and haven’t been able to put into words about the brothers videos hahahah
I know this is a bit off topic but you’re one of my favorite guys ever just because you use your platform for actual fucking good. As a mentally and physically disabled person it means so much to see you using your experience to help other people. Hope you have a lovely day/night Jake :)!!!
THE LAST COMMENT SHOULD BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED GOOD GOD
He’s not his half brother they all have the same mum n dad
Jake, your non profit work is very admirable and inspirational. Thank you.
Yeah, the first time I heard of this was on the show big people little world. That couple only has one dwarf son their other two kids are regular size.
We should all agree on two things here: You should NEVER post yours or other children on the Internet, period. Two, the people commenting on these things about children are extremely terrible people and should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE POSTED IT I HATE THIS FAMILY HE IS LITERALLY EXPLOITING HIS KIDS
My twin brother has it and works a full time job living his best life
Just from watching the Little Women series, I know they have back, hip, spine, ear, knee, and digestive issues, as well as fluid on the brain. They talk about having upwards of 30 plus surgeries.
