He is alive but he isnt at the same time, this is kinda sad. Blind, deaf, cant feel a thing not even pain, he cant learn...
He says " I love you"at 4.55.

I understand if you don't want to share.
Thank you for the info if it is correct/ real
Rip jank boteko ❤️
5 tortured years
Im glad this little baby got so much love before his passing 😢
Well.. yes and no.
Yes because everyone deserves life, and deserve to be united with children.
No because no one deserves to live as an empty mind.
i dont even think he was sentient
It wasnt aware of it though, not even in the most basal possible definition of the term
Mom and baby got to experience love. Hope mom is doing okay. She is an angel.
@@skippy8294 It's not even "living" if we're going to be honest.
He may be surviving, but ultimately he isn’t ‘living’
UntoldParadox I noticed he said "I love you" at 4:55. Maybe he is living but just can't express it to others.
I am sorry .... But he's living and the miraculous kid...
Spooked Shaggy or sister...
According to who? You?
little did they know this boy grew up to be scientific genius... stephen hawking
This is cruel. I’m a medical student and I just learned about this condition. The child only has a brain stem which makes it only possible to live in a vegetative state and nothing beyond.
Amber Black Agreed. What a sick world we live in.
WAFFEN COLLIDER You are absolutely correct. Not only merciful but completely logical. Why would one intentionally bring a person into the world who cannot even perform the basic functions of self care AND is not capable of contributing to society in any way, shape or form. Just why...
But is his brain still plastic tho? During infancy, the brain experiences a rapid growth in the number of synaptic connections it has, peaking at approximately 15,000 at the age of 2-3 (Gopnik et al. 1999). So would it be too soon to give him a conclusion? Also as EB'S case have shown us our brain is plastic, functions can be taken over by other parts of our brain. So will this kid have a chance if he undergo intense rehabilitation?
@WeeStrom CO Guy Oh, Hitler and Nazis! If anyone suggests that they feel bad that a baby so severely disabled and having continuous seizures gets exploited by his narcissistic parents they automatically become Nazis, right? Great defense!
J. H. they didnt "intentionally" do it. like wtf do you think they wanted this?
A parent doesn't only love their child when they're healthy and strong. These parents are amazing.
Baby died and mom and dad are divorced.

The specialist answered perfectly. What a graceful, empathetic, diplomatic professional.
This couple are great parents too, selfless, loving, and he brings them joy, you can see that.
The doctor seems pissed at the parents.
I wonder why...
Internet Police why? I would maybe say this to parents of criminals and corrupted, violent persons, not to parents of a disabled baby. Actually, I would not say this to any parent at all. It is their choice, you are judging their choice and I don't think you\we have the right to judge.
@@francescaf.5916 wym you would say that to parents of criminals?
Francesca F. stfu woman
Vinnie Gonzalez Actually no. Not even to parents of criminals because it might not even be their fault or responsibility if a person grows up and becomes a criminal. Education is important, but I don't think we should blame parents all the time. A criminal often has a personal responsibility. So, I would never say to any parent that she should have aborted. Not even to Hitler's mother. Abortion is a choice, keeping a baby and love her the way she is, is also a choice, so why do we have to morally judge other people all the time?!
To be honest, I'd rather die than live a life this painful.
THE END IS NEAR this wasn’t even a life. Blind, deaf, can’t see or feel pain. He’s just...moving. Like a twitching mosquito after you step on it. Maybe a bit morbid. Sorry about that. Just thinking about everything But the lad passed away.
It’s sad that you would say that because there are people that would love to live a painful life then rather die, think before you speak bro

Unlawful Sexual Relations
Leviticus chapter 18:1-30
The Lord said to Moses, speak to the Israelites and say to them. I am the Lord your God. You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God. Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord.
No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the Lord. Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother, do not have relations with her. Do not have sexual relations with your father’s wife, that would dishonor your father. Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.
Do not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, that would dishonor you. Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father, she is your sister. Do not have sexual relations with your father’s sister, she is your father’s close relative. Do not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s close relative.
Do not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations, she is your aunt. Do not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife, do not have relations with her. Do not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife, that would dishonor your brother. Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. Do not have sexual relations with either her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, they are her close relatives. That is wickedness.
Do not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living. Do not approach a woman to have sexual relations during the uncleanness of her monthly period. Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor’s wife and defile yourself with her. Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.
Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, that is detestable. Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it, that is a perversion. Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. Even the land was defiled, so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its
inhabitants.
But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. And if you define the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you. Everyone who does any of these detestable things-such persons must be cut off from their people.
Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the Lord your God.
Are you sure he supports rape? And same sex? God in the Old Testament, commanded rapist to be stoned to death, as an example of what’s good and what’s bad. Thankful in the New Testament, you can be forgiven for such horrible sins.

@@amoeba_in_glasses Can you prove your claim please.
The burden of proof is on you.
In case you don't know:
Burden of proof- the obligation to prove one's assertion.
@@Carpaintry_of_God
Just google the “Jaxon strong foundation”. They used this child as a cash cow. They got hundreds of thousands in donations. They quit their jobs, bought a new house, vehicles, vacations….why are you asking someone to prove this to you? If someone doesn’t put everything written about these parents you’re going to refuse to believe it? Once they were found out, they separated and out him in a nursing home which is where he died. He was lucky if they visited him once a month. They got divorced and Brittany got pregnant pretty quick by another man and “addy” Brandon has had 4 or more DUIs since he dropped his son off at the nursing home. Awesome Christian’s, right?
@@Carpaintry_of_God A "financial crisis" becomes a cash windfall
Their initial campaign - intended to cover urgent medical expenses and to allow Brittany to quit her job and remain at home with Jaxon - reached its modest $35K goal almost immediately. They then doubled the goal to $70K and continued to solicit donations. Again the target was met within months, but the Buells refused to shut down the GoFundMe page, citing ongoing financial need...and eventually, when pressured by the public, promising to donate the excess funds to charity. (It was during this time, in March 2015, that they purchased their new-construction home in Tavares.) The final total on the Buells' GoFundMe page the day they closed was more than $176,000. To this day there is no concrete evidence that they have ever donated any money to charity at all, ever.
Shortly after the GFM fundraiser ended, news began to circulate that Brandon - who had previously been employed as the assistant manager of a local bank - had also quit his job. Also around this time the Buells started dropping hints on their Facebook page, which by now had accumulated a rabid following of around 378,500, about an upcoming "exciting development!!" On April 27, 2016 the Buells officially announced the creation of the Jaxon Strong Foundation: a so-called charity which they described as "a not-for-profit organization that is ready to receive donations" (their website was initially entirely blank aside from a link to their online donations form). Many people raised questions regarding the Buells' plans for the donated funds, and the legality of the organization itself: there was no sign of a Jaxon Strong Foundation anywhere on the IRS or Florida Department of Consumer Services websites.
There were people who judged Jaxon’s parents saying they were irresponsible and cruel for letting the child live with such a serious illness.
Instead of clarifying - as one would expect of a legitimate charity - Brandon and Brittany began systematically deleting not only all questions on their Facebook page, but banning the commenters altogether. In light of their increasingly deceptive conduct and realizing that a large-scale scam was potentially in the works, I organized several other individuals into a private, vetted G+ taskforce (since the Buells' followers have a history of harassing and even stalking any outspoken critics). We began investigating the statutory approval of the Foundation and found that the Buells were NOT authorized to solicit charitable donations well past May 16th, and in fact had never even bothered to file the application in the first place until April 28th - the day AFTER they announced that the Foundation was "ready to receive donations" and the day that they (and many of their fans) berated us for questioning the legality of their organization.
“For our family, it’s also normal to feed our baby by feeding tube. It’s normal to embrace him as he goes through his startle seizures multiple times a day. It’s normal to look at Jaxon and see a perfectly created boy and other babies truly do look weird and oversized to us,” Brandon said.

nayr I feel she did the best she could, not wanting to hurt Jaxon’s parents and crush them irreparably. They’ve chosen to bring this baby into the world not knowing his actual quality of life, virtually brainless. Truly, I feel she weighed her words carefully knowing the import others would glean from them.
@Scort some people were expecting a % I found humor i the comment knowing im not the only one thinking tht.
TaunTaun's Mr.President no misdiagnosis here. Jaxon has no brain. There’s your diagnosis. They are lying and should be held accountable
@TaunTaun's Mr.President You're either really dumb, just uneducated or ignorant to the fact that Jaxon has a brain stem. This controls breathing, heartbeat, swallowing & a few other functions. The brainstem controls messages back & forth to different parts of the 2 hemispheres where
THINKING, LEARNING, sight, hearing are supposed to go Jaxon does NOT have these parts of his brain. So who's stupid TaunTaun. I really hate stupid people who put false info on to the internet where dummies like you believe it. Go back to school & when U have MY education & experience you can tell me why Im wrong.
"How's his quality of life?"

"Ask the parents."
This child is suffering. He's not living, he's just existing. I wouldn't have done that with my son.
Annisiah Gaitan I'm sorry but I would have put him to sleep. It's not fair seeing him suffer like this because his parents want him to make themselves famous on social media.
@@moadama5084 so you just admitted to choosing to murder your child. You put animals to sleep not people. Youre sick.
Buffy Summers it’s different imagine the kid. He felt pain since he was born and will feel that pain forever.
@@buffysummers74 Yet other animal's are cannibals so much animals are, and that's technically murder. Were still animals, but humans are advanced, ending ones life if in pain and hardly living may be sinful, but most likely the, better choice

@@thuggwaffle8825 A big part of being a doctor by profession is being faced with moral decisions like this one. This child can't see, hear, move, talk, feel and is most likely not even capable of having any sort of thought process at all and on top of that is constantly having seizures. This kid's parents exploited his disability for their own profit, then proceeded to get divorced and leave him at a care facility where he will remain for the rest of his days constantly drugged and being taken care of by strangers.

Dreadful existence. He seized from birth til death. His brain couldnt interpret the stimuli his body was experiencing. Probably sensory overload and EXTREMELY painful. Notice how he panics when in water or receiving alot of touching or hearing loud sounds or bright lights. That's his body saying "my nerves are cranked up to 11 and reality is encumbered by incredible amounts of pain." It was most likely a feedback loop like a bad dream of sensations puzzled and mashed together in a brain randonly firing off like fireworks or a psychic hedgemaze of delirum for 5 long HORRIBLE years. If he could talk he would probably curse his mother for not aborting him. I'm not cruel. His parents are. On top of the pain he seizes every 10 min or so. Like a computer constantly rebooting itself.

No parent wants to have to make the choice to terminate a pregnancy. If they even thought he had a small chance of survival I understand why they decided not to terminate. Seeing him have a seizure was heartbreaking, but he looks comfortable and loved. He has loving parents, who understand that he may not be here long. They are showing him love, and I hope he continues to thrive pain free.
These parents did the best they could, and shared pure love and joy with him every moment.
They were selfish

@@muntaha681 Jaxon died. He was right.
I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the interviewer who seemed genuinely sympathetic and didn't ask the typical questions. Rare.
What beautiful and inspiring parents! This video continues to prove to the world that every life is perfect and sacred. Both of you have set the gold-standard for what "parenting" should look like. God bless you both, from a doctor in Australia.
Crying.....RIP Jaxson
Watching that poor little guy have a seizure broke my heart. Emptiness in his eyes. I know its gotta be hard for the parents also but it's all around just so sad.
bless that baby 🙏🙏
He doesn’t know what the hell is going on, he doesn’t even know he exists. It’s a bunch of involuntary movements that they call their child. It’s awful. Never bring a child into the world like that. They’re better off not living.
My niece has seizures.. poor girl eh? Maybe we should have ended her pathetic life.
@@Crazygurl867 How is it you know what he does or doesnt know? Shocking narcissistic comment
@@LorettaLaz You took the point out of context. He meant while he was in the womb not while he was out of it living and breathing.
Just imagine living with no ego or consciousness not even knowing your alive while having constant seizures and living a painful life which doesn't exist in your eyes that is what I've collected from these comments
I can't imagine how it would be living without a consciousness. Can you?
It's not even painfull cause he can't feel that.its rlly weirdly sad.he is like plant
Not just RUclips comments , sad reality );
If you're not conscious then there's no pain. Pain is one of the most basic experiences of consciousness.
Abortion. A quick solution.
A fine line between unconditional love and delusion.
Why is it considered merciful when one put asleep an animal which has no chance of a healthy life...but it is allowed for such innocent babies? It is not mercy, he was suffering((... It's too big a price for us to learn to be kind and sympathetic...
Because humans cannot play the role of God.
@@MyNomDePlume so you mean that we cannot take away pain . why not just stop using anaesthetic, why have medical technology to cure people of illness, you can say we should accept whatever illness we have as God wanted it so(also you are assuming there is a God). If a low quality of life for a human can be prevented, it should. Would you yourself want to live if there is no hope for life with quality? It's called mercy killing.
Because humans are not animals.
@@verabolton Humans are literally, LITERALLY, animals. If you mean to posit a sort of philosophical difference rather than a biological difference, sure. I don’t think that distinction is big enough at all to make a difference in this case. In general, other animals deserve love, respect, dignity, and mercy just like this human child.
@@germanshepherd2701 You might be an animal, but I'm not. Not biologically, nor philosophically.
Not to be intentionally mean but why would you want to keep him alive? Life is going to be one big struggle full of misery for him. People should think about the kids not themselves
There's always a chance of a breakthrough miracle, never give up.
He's cute, but in the end, I wouldn't want him to have to live in this world. There would be too many hardships for him, and he would suffer more than he would live.
Isaiah Dinkel no quality fo life whatsoever.
thats not for you to decide is it?
i dont think hes suffering but hes just barely alive
Isaiah Dinkel he passed away :(
Life is suffering
They are in denial. It's really sad. I hope he doesn't feel pain or suffering. He is a cute little fella:(.
He can't feel anything..
He can feel but his condition doesn't cause pain per say...didn't you notice him crying in the tub? And he gets cranky when cutting teeth and gassy...He does feel! And he has human emotion as well, he laughs and cries just like everyone else.
@@EnderalRocks But he cries.
@@krystaldaniels7940
Emotion wise, i think the crying is simply a human reaction of X bad so i should Y
I'm pretty sure they meant emotional pain, not physical pain
you are the perfect parents, you made him feel loved, thank you.
He looks like a sweet little guy. He is bringing a lot of love to all the people who meet him. These parents are brave knowing that he is not likely to live long. More power to them. I admire their courage.
Thriving and severely disabled don't work in the same sentence.
You're wrong
@@krisrhood2127 Explain.
Many people with multiple and severe disabilities can have really great lives. Often their main disability is in people's minds
With literally one word apart too
@@krisrhood2127 the kid has no damn brain
“Sometimes... he’ll go into a slight seizure.” For real...?
he looks like he is constantly seizing.
A slight fucking seizure, good god.
All kinds of people have seizures of varying degrees.. what's your point?
@Ryan Schob - Good info processors need few words!
@@therofthew gotcha. You didn't have a point.
This is so cruel and disgusting. This baby suffered pain until it died just so the parents could feel good about themselves
He seizured from birth til death. His brain couldnt interpret the stimuli his body was experiencing. Probably sensory overload and EXTREMELY painful. Notice how he panics when in water or receiving alot of touching or hearing loud sounds. That's his body saying "my nerves are cranked up to 11 and reality is encumbered by incredible amounts of pain. If he could talk he would probably curse his mother for not aborting him. I'm not cruel. His parents are. On top of the pain he seizes every 10 min or so. Like a computer constantly rebooting itself. We all need to rethink these "miracles" it is most likely that he was in a TON OF PAIN.
bro he didnt even know it was in pain bruh@@trteeerryfse-wy2ww
i feel bad but still bro like imagine a 2 day old baby losing his parents and then adopted and 11 years later doesnt know.
and then imagine an 11 year old who loses his parents and suffers for the rest of his life
its that same in this case and also he is born without a brain so i dont think he really knew what was going on so atleast it didnt have somewhat of a consciousness
also when did he die??
@@trteeerryfse-wy2ww You certainly know better than any doctors or specialists who were involved with the child!
The baby is a he. Not an "it."
breh the image of the thumbnail looks funny tbh lol also dude its an it cos it doesnt know anything thats happening so it probs didnt even feel any pain (may did) and wont even remember it
do u remember any pain when u were a baby? exactly u dont@@flamu9183
He's literally trapped in darkness. I'd never be able to live like that.
Gentle Stick Man well he probably has the intelligence of a mouse so he is not conscious nor can he see or hear or feel or learn or virtually anything.
Ah, reprobate, but you already do.
No. There is no he. I don't think there's a mind in there
But he didn’t know though. It’s like being blind and deaf but he has thos things
@@goawayplease6456 Jaxon's soul is alive as how could he harm it as you have? your soul is clearly d*ad, and you are clearly just seeing a demonic reflection of the state of your own soul in this poor, innocent boy. your fight is with yourself, not him.

These parents are some of the best people out there. I love how the dad mentions his faith but also acknowledges that others might not share it (near the end of the video) - both the mom and the dad are just coming from a place of love/humanity

@@mr_danyl1114 well said
It’s sad yet almost inspiring they life this boy lived. His brain never fully developed, but it was clear he was able to recognize faces and have enough of his Frontal Cortex to express happiness and wonder.
Condolences to the family, and may his too short time be cherished.
You have no way to confirm that at all. These parents should’ve made the responsible decision, that poor child suffered needlessly in his last moments if he even comprehended a moment at all.
Hmm mm tough call......is it selfish to do this.....
That child had no clue what was going on if we were looking at it realistically…
lets be real, the baby didn't suffer@@geigercourtier
Poor baby. The parents did this to make themselves feel better. It wasn't for the child.
The Parents seem like nice people but c’mon,This Isn’t A Life For Anyone...
I hate to say it but agreeable, thing is I don't know what its like to have my own child, but I can say for myself I wouldn't want that for me id embrace my parents with love if I could and let them know this isn't a life I want to continue. Its a very touchy subject but let me tell you something yall already know, this world isnt fair.
He has improved a lot, its amazing, he can hear and see and even say momma and addy and I love you now and he knows his fave toys from the other ones and he is more aware. Many times doctors will say, this child will never speak or see or talk or anything and kids to, some kids with this disorder their brains even grow 80%
Who the hell are you to decide that?
He is a gift from God. Just because he has disabilities is no reason to say he had no life, no purpose or meaning. He has all that. Aborting babies because they are deemed a burden is so cruel. Life comes with crosses we must carry.
Beth Lipscomb I disagree, sometimes babies should be aborted before they gain self awareness. They may come out with some kind of deformation that will make them suffer until they die.
We had a child like yours, he only lived ONE day. We will see him
some day. Condolences to Jaxon's family.We named our baby Angelito
Amen! You WILL see each other again! I believe this with every atom of my being!
Teresa I also had a baby with the same thing. She only lived for an hour. I had to have an emergency c section and I was put under. I never got to see her while she was alive. But my friend was there with me and he held her the whole time. That gave me a lot of comfort. We will for sure see out beautiful angels when the time comes. God bless you 🙏. Her name is Amber Rose
@Teresa Garcia. I am so sorry for your loss.

He can’t feel, see, do, smell, love nothing, all his movements are instinctive and reflexes
Poor baby will have no quality of life. The lights are on but no one is home…you can tell by looking at him. Cry😢
This is an old video. He passed away awhile back unfortunately.
@@jojomakes better then letting him live a meaningless life hust giving the parents false hope
@@thin8884 It's "than," and what's a "hust," Oh Smart One? 🙄
I mean, I can understand wanting to have your child. loving your child unconditionally...etc etc etc. but what kind of life is this child going to have? this child is going to grow up into an adult and need full time care around the clock. it's almost selfish on their part. not trying to be negative toward the situation. good for them. but what kind of life can this child hope to live?
It would be selfish for them to kill him. No he won't have the "American Dream" of a life but happiness is subjective. Maybe he'll be happier than most of us since he won't have many problems or stress.
Yeah, he's not going to be as "cute" as he is now, when or if he's an adult...
I hate when people act as if paying someone to murder your child is the "right" thing to do.... When a person aborts a child they are sparring themselves hardships, not the child.....
Heather Miller that's completely subjective. All of our opinions are. Don't act like you know what's best for some child. This child doesn't even have the capability to make this decision for himself. Couldn't even protest if he wants to. It's like keeping a person alive on life support. No one knows if that person wants to die or sit there and lay around lifeless for the rest of their life.
JstallGFU Have you read his scans? Do you have access to his ECG's? Do you know what parts of his brain are void & what parts are functioning? To use the word "capability" is ignorant because you have no clue what he's "capable" of..... Yet you want to act as if his murder would be humane.... That's utter insanity.... No, I'm not the parent but I have a heart & I see that these parents love their child & don't deserve to have judgmental & ignorant people tell them they should've paid to have him murdered! If you don't see the insanity & hypocrisy in your statement I'm sorry..... Btw, the Dr. Even said she doesn't know, but you somehow think you do.... That's laughable & shows the inhumanity in our society today.... As a medic I've dealt with many amazing & happy children & adults people think had no right to life, I'm very happy their parents weren't among those who thought that way....
2:22 “This is Jaxon today: severely disabled; thriving.”
Austin L The ability to thrive is a term used to indicate whether or not a being can sustain its bodily functions like maintain a functioning respiratory system. It doesnt actually mean what it does mean in colloquial american english.

The replies here are very cruel
@Donnell Okafor how so
@@tom115 yikes😬
I stand by my comment. He is perfect. His parents love him and only they know him. Anyone else especially the people with negative comments have no frame of reference. He is a baby that belongs a family who love him very very much. Try putting yourself in their shoes for one minute. Try putting yourself in that precious babies shoes for just one minute. He deserves love and kindness just like everyone else. To be so cruel to an innocent little baby and his parents who have no control over their situation and are doing everything they can to help him is unfair and just plain mean. You have no idea what he feels and what he is thinking. You’re not a parent who is holding him in your arms. He deserves just as much love as any other baby and in his parents eyes he is perfect. The comments of people that don’t understand that just don’t matter.

This is awesome, you two are awesome parents. Don’t listen to anyone that’s negative
He is only 'alive' because his 'parents' refused to accept that he isn't even living
These parents are sweet, but delusional and in denial of their child's cognitive abilities.
Allen what if they are just willing to look past his challenges and see him as a person rather than a burden.

So what do you think? They should do go take him out in the backyard and stone him. ! You really need to learn about the real purpose of life.
@@tiffany3294 Yea you are definitely being dramatic for brownie points. We arent going to play on emotions Im speaking on truth. He is alive but he isnt living his quality of life is diminished that is the truth. Nowhere in my statement did I say he should be mistreated or killed now that he is here. They didnt consider the quality of HIS life only the emotional impact loosing him would have on theirs. Now you can get mad if you want but thats not going to change my view.

Bruh that kid ain’t grinning he doesn’t know he has a body
Other babies do?
dev They feel don’t they?
@@dev-sc7ud i think other babies would have enough brain capacity for basic self awareness, such as knowing they have hands and know their reflection. But because this poor baby dosent have much of a brain he cannot comprehend himself, his surroundings, or anything. He cannot remember anything after about a minute and is only living off his brain stem (which controlls the most basic muscle contractions, such as breathing and heartbeat) as well as special feeding tubes. I dont want to be a pessimist, but he may see his end sometime soon, if he hasnt already.
When I was a baby I didn't know I had a body either. I was just "somewhere" close to my mom.
@@Agent1W Yeah right... as if you could remember back when you were a fetus.
My heart breaks for this boy and his parents. Most of us dont realize how lucky we are to have healthy children. I couldn't imagine having to deal with this or any other major illness with my kids🙏
Jackson is such a beautiful little boy God bless you guys for being his parents
I saw another comment of someone giving an update in 2019. The parents have put him in a care facility. He hasn’t improved. This is so sad.
Wow really? Unbelievable 🤦♀️😪🤬
“We didn’t think about termination. We’re Christians.” Yeah, the delusional kind who ignore medical advice.
Don’t get me wrong, I feel genuinely sorry for them and their son and I do support religion and faith. I have worked in a facility for people with disabilities. Yes, many can live a satisfying live with some support - I am glad that they exist and I got to meet them. But they are conscious and can express themselves to an extend, communicate, state when they feel pain or need something. However, this little guy here only has enough brain to move really; will likely never walk, talk or eat on his own. It’s even unclear how much of his environment he can feel/ make sense of; if he’ll ever have memories or feel joy. And now the good Christians gave him into care. Surely they loved him, I don’t doubt that. But it was also arrogance and a severe lack of education that led to this. When it got hard, faith wasn’t enough anymore, I guess.
Alexa, play despacito.
@@ntk8787 Why on Earth do you "support religion and faith" when you literally explained why you shouldn't.

They got divorced so i doubt that
