They did this for themselves, not for that child.
Can you not fathom the love that parents have for their children unconditionally?
I think that if they were self focused they would have taken steps to either end or shorten their childs life.
Not many of us are perfect but what stands out is the love they have for this little human being - their son.
So just because the parent love him so, he should suffer and his quality of life should be really poor?
No, take your pro life speech somewhere else... or even better, nowhere else.
Jennifer Ann Thomas because it's quite clear they did, they could've terminated the pregnancy when they found out for the sake of their unborn child... but they did not.
He has zero quality of life, why force him to live?
@Jennifer Ann Thomas The last time I saw such bullshit was when I opened trump's twitter
No it is not murder seeing as an embryo/fetus is not yet a baby, therefore it's not seen as a proper life form.
Abortion is NOT murder and your god does NOT exist and if he did, how could he let this child be born that way?
The poor child is not loved, he is being used for profit by the parents, at least he was. Now he is left in a care facility, do you call that love?
The Lord? I have no damn Lord, neither do you. What you have is a delusion, nothing else.
This is so disturbing. He doesn't have the brain capacity to live a happy life, and his parents are delusional. It's just cruel.
I worked as a pediatric nurse for many years. You are mostly right in your outrage. "Happiness" in a severely disabled child is a relative term. Having someone that agrees to provide love and nurturing, even with out the milestones enjoyed by neurotypical children, is a gift that these kids are lucky to have. There was an era when this child would have been taken to a warehouse orphanage and relegated to a cage like crib until death. There are still similar facilities, but nothing like the numbers that existed before diagnosis and the parents ability to end the pregnancy. Unrealistic expectations and wholehearted delusional adherence to the potential for an impossible capacity make the enthusiasm of this couple disturbing. Mostly, because many children suffer through the misery of money seeking foster care and poorly diagnosed learning disabilities that truly COULD have a happy life if someone actually gave a damn. This situation might seem like a waste of scarce medical services to many (including me), but every child is entitled. It's the parental fantasy that makes me shake my head. Really, it just bugs me that it's shown as something heroic here.
Is your brain not a muscle and grows the more you use it?
Brains are not made of the same cells as muscles. Micro cephalic conditions limit the capacity for growth of the cerebral cortex.
Justine Kinealy as TMIDiva said, brain cells are not the same as muscle cells.
How it about a kid who was strong and was staying alive they still love him
Parents: he's saying I love you!!
Jaxon: *SCREAMS OF PAIN AND AGONY*
Oh my God. Can you be more immature
@@chriswright7278 "mature"
Bro you're an idiot
@@naturesfinest4871 no it isn't
@@UZIWAVES2000 no I mean immature. His comment was in no way mature.
When he “walks” i worry for his neck
Me too, poor baby!! 😢😭😭😭😭
Don't worry, it ain't gonna happen, unfortunately.
My neck hurts :/
Wthell.. ugh
This is sad, I just searched this family, and the parents are under investigation, they have raised so much money, but not spending it on the child, they have brought a house, vacations, etc! This poor child can do nothing, they are reaping from his illness!
I'd like to see them get in trouble because of their actions but I don't think that will happen. Just look at them flaunting their lifestyles on Facebook now that they've split up. I can't believe they have the audacity to do that but if they had a reason to worry you'd think they'd be more discreet about
Omg I hope this isn't true. How awful
It's all for the money now a days no matter how and what you use to get it/there.. sad
Ms Maree in a way though wouldn’t it be considered still for the child? I couldn’t and don’t want to imagine the amount of doctor bills and how much of their own money they spent out of pocket before people knew about them and their and donated to them.
Yeah I've heard they are trying to scam people.
He’s not attempting to walk that’s a reflex. My gosh this is tragic
Agreed Rachel
They have learned where his pressure points are. Just look at some of his other videos. It's as plain as day! He presses on his ears & shoulder & neck. Just go watch them. He tried on this one but he was having a seizure so it didn't work. He's not doing anything they say he is! It's not possible with the parts of his brain missing. It's all for money & its bullshit!
Rachel Sanchez.....I agree to 100%...this is the border reflex.....he has no head control.. he hasn’t a swallowing reflex...and he is crying very often. I think he is completely overwhelmed. But the parents don’t want to see that. It is a very difficult situation and I am very sorry for them.
I was going to say the exact same thing! That’s a reflex! Newborn babies will do that. He wasn’t trying to walk
1 thousandth like!
He died earlier this year (2020).
His suffering is finally over.
pro tip: watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Stephen Kamryn definitely, have been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :)
@Stephen Kamryn yea, I've been using flixzone} for years myself :)
Delusional. The father said he cannot hear, so there is no way he is saying I love you.
Just because someone is deaf doesn't mean they can't feel sound. Ever heard of beethoven? One of the greatest musicians of all time? He was deaf and he could talk. Gtfo ur cardboard box
Ur name ur a tool
Shea Roberts the child is blind and deaf the only way he’d be able to learn speech would be the same way Hellen Keller did and she didn’t even learn that until much later in her life. I doubt this baby who can’t even hold its head up and is missing 80% of its brain had the capacity to learn anything much less speech at the age of 2.
@@Sheahova You realise there is a difference between being born deaf and never having been able to hear sounds and thus learn language, and slowly turning deaf towards the end of your life as was the case with Beethoven?
The doctors said he wouldn’t hear, OBVIOUSLY they were WRONG
I gave birth to a son who's brain had stopped growing at the brain stem a condition known as Anencephaly. We found out at our 20 week ultrasound. I chose to deliver at 25 weeks rather than carry the baby to term he died peacefully in my arms surrounded by people who loved him. we had so many people pass judgement on us that it was hard for us to heal after. Sometimes loving your child means making the hard gut wrenching decisions to spare them pain and suffering. I am very happy that they are so peaceful with their decision but in most cases children with this disorder and others like it the babies only live minutes and it is a devastating for the families. It is also dangerous for the mothers to carry to term. I hope people understand that this child is not the norm but the exception and there should not be any judgement on the families who decide to let their babies go peacefully.
So sorry for your loss sweetie. You made a loving, compassionate choice for your little guy, that’s what real parents do.
KBAHR 😿😿✋
You did the right thing, and I’m so sorry for your loss.
You made the most difficult, the most compassionate, and the most loving decision that any parents could make. I hope that you're blessed with a healthy baby in the future.
I think You made a good decision. I'm sorry You had to go threw this.
Okay - one last time - Jaxon was not speaking. No 3 month old child could even begin to say ' I love you' and understand what is meant by it. The concepts of 'I' and 'you' are still trying to form in a brain that is 100 percent there. Jaxon is screaming. The 'walking' he did was another reflex reaction, giverned by the hypothalamus, which is probably the 20 percent of his brain that survived. And the fact that his head is flopping back at a 90 degree angle is clear proof that he doesn't have the wherrewithal to protect his body from further pain.
There are incredible stories of people who have over come huge problems or who continue to live with extremely difficult situations. Try looking at videos about them...at least you'll be learning something. Try Special Books by Special Kids and you'll be bowled over at what the human mind and body CAN do, even when faced with unimaginable hurdles.
Let this poor little person go.
*Jaxon lives in a long term nursing facility now. This couple is no longer together..*
Gayle Cunningham He was two and a half there in that clip but I still don't think he said that.
james robbins wow you drive a hard bargain to change opinions don’t you?
Not to mention, he started crying with what seemed like anger right after saying it.
He is almost 3 in that clip. Stop acting like you so high mighty because you know medical jargon. Yes he may not live an extremely long life but the people in his life sure can make it a hell of a ride while he is with us.
Why make him suffer and live a life like that?When you all are dead what will he do?It is very sad and I know it is hard.
MONEY!
It won't live that long fortunately
This child also wants to live, even as you want it.
God forbid we value human life... 🙄. No matter the circumstances life must be protected and we must have hope. There is no telling what miraculous thing could happen or the hope his story will give for others struggling. This is what is wrong with our world. We think death is better than life because we detest any form of suffering or challenge. It's insane.
Ryleigh Green it won’t live that long your disgusting
These parents are deluding themselves into believing that their child is aware of them and his surroundings. Which i totally understand and my heart is with them. What i dont get is other people holding them up as something to aspire to or admire.
You are a piece of shit.
@@Demowan This is a tragic manifestation of parental love. Their child has all the intelligence and self-awareness of a doll. Everything you see him doing in those incredibly brief video clips comes from the brainstem.

FuzzyKitty Kat Yes...But there IS NO ONE IN THERE. IT'S JUST A BRAIN STEM. A new born baby has awareness...This person does not. He needs to be put down. He is not brain dead but he is close enough.
@@JohnMorris-ge6hq we use less than 20% of our whole brain, so be quiet about brain dead shit.
yoda coolis that’s not true. Please look into it. That’s just some stupid wives tale. Even if that was true, who’s to say he had any of the 20 working percent of his brain? What if it was all the useless part? Theoretically if we use 20% and he only has 20% of a full brain, he would only be able to use 2% of his brain. There is absolutely no quality of life there, and I’m sure he would be much much much more peaceful if he was laid to rest.
"No we're going to keep the baby so we get attention and fame."
I also like how the "I love you" was just him screaming his head off.
And him "eating a cookie" was just her forcing it in his mouth over and over
I don't think they kept him for attention and fame. Maybe it was because they didn't want to kill their unborn child. Idk though

@Just Me
*Thank you for posting this,...THE TRUTH. I've tried locating the posts I've read from a few of their neighbors, etc., BUT, I'm unable to locate them now. The parents were able to get a half million dollar home, nice cars, and even a very expensive boat. From everything I've read from people who know them, & SEE what's happening in their lives, they separated OR divorced about 7 months ago. Apparently the mom was even selling Jaxons food, formula on her FB page. After people could NOT understand why she'd do that, that post was deleted by her. The dad added a few months ago that they were going to have to place Jaxon in the LTC facility, people were pissed. So, he deleted his entire, newest FB page. Seems there were far too many photos that wee not planned out well enough, & showed far too many of just he & his wife having great times together on vacations, etc.
Many people could see right through their real intentions on HOW they'd spend almost every cent that was FOR JAXON ONLY.
Their was a photo showing their half million dollar home, & their new vehicles, too. Sad state of affairs.
Maybe people will wake up now.*
Attempting to walk? Any newborn will do the same thing. Its a reflex.
So you consider all newborns brain dead? And worthy of murder. Sounds right for baby killers.
@@mimimcmi7948 Yeah but do you see a newborn with the stepping reflex and try to convince people he's trying to walk?

"It's not our choice"
If that's the case, then why would you rely on modern medicine to artificially keep him alive?
Agreed. What triggered me also is 3:10 the dad said his child won't be able to hear, see, walk or talk. HE IS AWARE OF THAT and he is fine with it because of his religion? His son has strokes and can't keep his head straight and the parents think it's fine....tf
IT was their choise. They had a choise from the very beginning.
Good point
You are so right! And those, who say, that the poor baby is alive with all these conditions and in that horrible state, because "God" wanted him that way, are delusional. Take away all the medical support, and rely only on what "God" wants. The result would be quite obvious. This story is nothing but the parents's selfish choice.
apparently the parents are making money from his condition.....there were comments about it and when I googled it the information was there. Wow
I’m pro life and this is one of the few scenarios I’d support abortion. This is absolutely sick to make a child suffer like this. He has no quality of life, barely any brain activity, he has spinal fluid where his brain should be, and he has no sense of existence. It’s like keeping someone on life support because you’re too selfish to let go.
Clorpy then you are a pro-choice
you know you've severely fucked up when another prolifer temporarily changes their views.
If Jackson enjoys spending time with his parents then his life is worth living.

This is cruel! How would you feel if your child had a struggling life.
What kind of quality of life are you forcing your child to endure to suit your moral code?
Edit : Wow, I'm shocked at the feedback! Yes, everyone has their own opinions. I'm no feminine Nazi and what not, and I'm sorry for whomever is so sick of others opinions. However, I am pro choice. I believe in those who decide to not abort, and those who for their own reasons have to. But in this case, there is no hope of salvation, surgery, or anything at all. And yet, it is being paraded by pro-life activists as being what they stand for, despite the unseen suffering. Are you also aware of the money that was sent to these parents that they used on themselves? No child should be forced this upon themselves. I respect everyone's opinions, despite the dissenting ones.
Detective Katherine....the real question is...what kind of life are they forcing him to have while they live it up on his donations and keep him in a taxpayer-paid facility?????
@@naturesfinest4871 Absolutely correct. Only some of the lowest scum are capable of this, and they use his illness and them forcing him to live through it by praising themselves. Absolutely disgusting
This is my thought. There is no quality...;(
I personally can't judge for someone else, but if it was me, I wouldn't want my parents to allow me to live that way. A moral code is a personal tool, nobody can define how it should work. But I'm having a hard time with that poor child's "life", as I'm not sure Jaxon is even aware he has one. On another note, can't count the number of times people told other's they "made them sick" here on this thread!? Why the assault for a perspective outside of your own? Don't you all know that this has been an ongoing agenda to keep us intolerant and bickering and fighting to keep us from learning and growing? It's meant for us to hate each other, it's what "they" want us to do, it keeps us separated from each other and then it's a downhill slide to a life without empathy or compassion! People talk about a "moral code" and everyone has to show they don't own one. Chill, learn to throw sugar instead of salt, to stand in the shade as to casting it! Life would be so much more peaceful in places such as these threads and maybe that peace would bleed out into the world and we could just get along. I mean how hard is it to just listen and then agree to disagree and then move the ef on? Whatever, talking to brick walls, that's why I've turned off the bell, it's either frustrating or dangerous but NEVER productive. People just like to sling shit. I'm sixty plus and can honestly say, things are getting worse, not better and it's OUR fault!
Debbie Prokop well thank goodness he’s not you because he’s a living human and wether you comprehend murder or not (cause you clearly believe in justifiable man slaughter) taking an INNOCENT life IS NOT IN YOUR PLACE. NO ONE HAS THAT RIGHT AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE THAT RIGHT
I apologise. .. to me it is not " yes to life".... it is "yes to infinite suffering " for all involved
Marina Ostrov an act of selfish parents
Marina Ostrov evrey life deserves a chance
God gave them that child for a reason
He and any other child deserves to live
Nationalcitysycho d not an act of selfishness.
yeah so if every life deserves a chance then they could have had another child instead of this, who would also deserve a chance to live. Just following your reasoning.
Mara Ram that's contradictory.
I get it. The fact that he's breathing and existing is enough to make the parents happy and feel like they're doing something good. He gives them hope and he's a miracle to them. However, I don't think this would be the right choice for everyone. I think some parents would consider the quality of life, or lack of life, this child would have and decide to spare him. Some would take into account that there is no room for mental growth, just bare existence. Terminating the pregnancy would have been an okay choice too.
Pro-choice doesn't mean people get to terminate pregnancies on a whim. It means that when couples face difficult situations like this, they have a choice to do what they believe is best. These parents chose to let him live a highly limited life. Okay. It would've been okay to choose otherwise too.
I think any reasonable person can see *some* merit in your analysis. But as this case shows, even well-meaning doctors don't know exactly how situations will turn out as they are rare and no two cases are identical.
Nevertheless, the biggest flaw in your analysis is the conclusion "Pro-choice doesn't mean people get to terminate pregnancies on a whim." That's EXACTLY what "pro-choice" means in 99.99% of cases. Argue from the corner-case, the outlier, and try to normalize from there.
Any honest person will admit that's exactly what "pro-choice" was trying to do - allow abortion on demand. The law *already* had exceptions for life-threatening medical situations - but ideologues wanted the convenience of abortion on demand and to sweep the destructive psychological and physical outcomes under the rug..and they got exactly that.
Warren Kinny, perhaps the treatment of abortions differs regionally. I'm in northern California and abortions are not convenient. Clinics take care to avoid physical and psychological destruction. No woman *wants* to go through that traumatic experience. Thus, women typically have to go through something like councelling and a psychological assessment before the abortions. Plus, a lot of "Pro-Choicers" and clinics are also highly involved with sex education to completely avoid unwanted pregnancies. That way, abortions are a *last* resort, handled with care, and not on a whim. At least where I am, it can be different other places.
Adelina.Rose Agreed. With insurance having the freedom to cut off coverage, and republicans joyously shredding our safety net, it’s a choice I’d have to make. And hurt for the rest of my life.
If you’re Pro-life, you absolutely must be in favor of insurance that covers every penny of this child’s care, no exceptions, no deductible, no premium increases.
Also, we have to be certain that nobody loses their job, ever.
Everybody on board with that?
No?!
Then choice is the only answer.
Personally, I feel that it’s inhumanly cruel to bring such a child into the world.
A horrible birth defect is a miracle????????!!!!
This. Right here. Nice job with this Adelina :)

Here i am feeling sorry for myself. 52 years old with a great family and without any major problems. Time to count my blessings. Good luck little fella.Thanks for setting me straight. May God bless you.
I just seen this video for first time over an hour ago and I still cannot stop crying. He looks, sounds, and moves just like my little brother Jacob. We went through the same exact thing with doctors. I was only 11 years old when he was born. I loved him so much. So did my mom and his dad. I believe with all my heart that it was the love that kept him alive. He lived to be 15 years old. He was legally blind, seeing only lights and shadows, he knew when I would walk into the room, no matter how quiet I was, he knew it was me and his face would light up and he would smile and start to laugh. He has been gone now for 15 years and I still miss him so much. God how I loved him and he loved too, he was happy. He didn't know any differance and I know he loved life, loved me, loved. I was given the greatest gift I ever could have been given when God gave me my brother Jacob.
Jacob sounds like a great brother. I’m sorry you haven’t gotten to see him in a long time, but you will be able to be with him for eternity in just a bit!!!
😁😊🙏
RIP Jacob 😢
They said they want him to experience as much as possible but you know... With 80% of his brain missing i don't think he can even experience anything, let alone happiness. These experiences are meaningless, he can't understand it. He gets his nutrition through a tube, for god's sake. It pains me to see him like this, his parents look like they're carrying a limp body.
Hot Chilli God's name is presented THIS way. Also, the affection he shows and those attempts at walking are indeed meaningful; there's spiritual hope there, and believe you me-- his alertness and energy when in the presence of his loving parents, amounts to a great deal! Perhaps if you could distinguish between false gods, and the one and true divinely Almighty God, you'd present as optimistic and faithful.
yes ikrr this is so sad
Lisa T-Wright lol. Those are not attempts at walking. Those are primitive step reflexes
MsFlamingFlamer Alright; It's lol😂-primitive-step-reflexes. The report declared those as walking attempts, so save aside another millinneal acronym.
I remain doubtful after watching, that the child is simply a limp body (asserted by the commenter I responded to). I'm not rearing the angel; if his parents have assessed him--via empirical data--as "smart, strong, and learning," I defer to them humbly and happily!
God's continued favor to this family as the little one continues to beat early odds placed against him. 🙏 💙 💙
Lisa T-Wright yesh, it was declared "walking attempts" by his parents who are proven scammers and were sued by the state of Florida. The reason there have been no updates is that he is now a toddler so he doesn't do any primitive reflexes anymore. Please study science. His parents also said he said "hi Germany" as an infant 😂😂😂 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_reflexes

Soooooo his life is less than yours?
Pretty sure no one said that (especially me, but hey I'm not the idiot pro-lifer here), also even stated in there I would much rather be dead if I was him.
I would beg to die.
If you actually watch the video and put your idiotic views aside for five minutes, you'd realize this human isn't having a good life.
At all.
Will never learn to walk, will never hear, will never see, will never speak, has only 20% of a brain and those parts of his brain that are there are literally just the 'breathe, physical feel, and blink' processors. He does not have emotion, he does not have a mental state, he LITERALLY cannot think or emotionally feel.
He has no cognitive thought, no emotions, and can ONLY feel pain/touch, breathe, and make noises.
That's not quality of life.
And it sure as hell isn't, "Thinking about his life."
No one deserves to be condemned to infinite pain and misery.
They are shit parents and I pray to god they never reproduce again.
WickedPastel AJ Okay, we don't need to be calling anybody idiodic, I don't agree with you at all but you are not an idiot. I'm a Christian and I believe that everything happens for a reason, this baby was not an accident. He was put on this earth to touch the lives of many many people. I don't know what your views on religion or if you are a Christian or not. But my beliefs are that this is not an accident.
Flowerboy3008 That's not murder, dumbass. It's a fetus, a fetus isn't a child. Allowing an extremely unhealthy fetus to become a baby which will clearly have no quality of life and will only end up in pain after birth...all for your own selfish reasons..now that's a crime.

@@roxanneblack6077 Absolutely. Simply sick!
This was painful to watch.
Knowing too well that their child will be severely disabled; Why on earth would you be selfish enough to bring that poor child onto earth to live a life of misery and solitary for being so different? They’ve obviously kept poor Jackson for themselves and haven’t thought about what kind of life he’ll live in the future. I know nearly every parent wants to experience what it’s like to have your own child, but seriously, I would much rather adopt a healthy child that isn’t mine than have my own baby which unfortunately would be severely disabled.
I watched this video and thought do they really know how he feels on the inside? He might feel trapped, angry, frustrated and he can't show it. A claustrophobic life.
brian b There is no God. Grow up.
Yeah, to be honest, I can't even disagree on this one. I don't ever want kids personally, but if I were to want one, I wouldn't want them to live like Jaxon. This video doesn't uplift me in the slightest, it just keeps reminding me that he won't ever get to experience life's luxuries and properly enjoy them the way he _deserves_ to (he deserves to see, hear, talk, and not have a chance of dying at a young age). If you ask me, I'd rather abortion than have my child live like this. I feel abortion would have been a mercy for unfortunate souls like Jaxon, and I mean that with no ill will towards him or his parents.
I mean, I commend them for choosing to take care of him, but I wouldn't be able to emotionally handle knowing my hypothetical child wasn't going to be able to live a functional life he would be able to actually enjoy.
I would have to disagree with you that being “severely disabled” means a life of misery and solitary. No one knew for sure what his circumstances would be at birth. With this in mind some people will not give up the life of their child without knowing for sure. If anything these parents or parents like them are anything but selfish. They knowingly have given up their own freedom to raise this child and try to give him the most experiences in life, what ever that might mean for him for the rest of his life.

I'm sorry but I could not let my son or daughter be born like this, this is no life to live, will never see, hear, be independent, will be completely disabled in every aspect of life for however long that is........it is one thing to be in the womb like this it is another to have a tragic accident like this. No life to live - my personal opinion but hats off to them for enduring the struggle if they so choose
Joshua Bower True
Right
Agreed. I would love my child too much to have to watch them struggle their entire lives with such a severe disability. I can understand a bum arm or leg, or being deaf etc, in which case I wouldnt dare terminate. But 80% of your brain being GONE?! God bless the parents for their devotion but jeez...
Also I dont think Jaxon was saying "I love you" (its a nice thought though I'll admit). I think he was literally just making instinctual baby sounds. Everything seems like absolute basic motor functions barely working when youre on 20% brain functionality. I hate to sound so cruel and pessimistic but I wont lie to myself either to make myself feel better about seeing this. No amount of godly words can change how messed up this is. Its like preaching about how pain is a miracle from god for empowering you to be stronger...as youre set on fire and rolling off a cliff.
Joshua Bower I agree
Also I would worry too much about the childs life and wellbeing if myself or husband became ill or passed away. You never know what life will throw at you and leaving behind a very vulnerable disabled child would weigh heavy ob my mind
I'm sorry, there's just nothing heartwarming about a living child without a brain. It's more chilling than adorable.
Connie Cook - it's ghastly
That's why we call it a Creature.
Aren't we all creatures, you cheap fuck?
Ur comment is chilling
FreeRealEstate - speak for yourself jackass.
He's precious. ☺
In what universe can a 3 month old infant say, "I love you"?
That poor boy. He was a husk.
Its sad because he definately feels pain. Makes me think of all the babies born back in the day when abortion really wasn't an option.
Annie497 I did not say abortion was not a choice. Just makes me think about how things were say back in the 18th century when abortion just really wasn't an option. Back when it was not legal, widespread, or acceptable. I do not necessarily support abortion, only in few cases.
well, the babies were left in a forest. like literally the exact same that wild animals do
He isn’t living. He’s just a limp body that these people are carrying around to fulfil their own lives at the suffering of their son.
casprr having worked with children with life limiting conditions and many of them have some quality of life so don’t judge his life unless you have spent time with him
Stop being mean he should keep going
He is a very sadly
Parents are fulfilling their lives through there children. No backlashing today but I may add you are so wrong. "Study up" before you speak, Dont just flap your gums because you can talk. PROLIFE
Kevin Wilson There are more kids in adoption than there are being aborted. Being pro life while there are children with no parents who would love to have a family just adds to the problem. Also learn how to use the right “their” before talking to me and flapping your gums about your bs. Thanks babe. 😘😘
He might have a life threatening illness but it doesn’t make him less than a person. I am very glad that the parents didn’t terminate the pregnancy. Yes he’s going to have a challenges and obstacles through his life, but that’s what makes him unique. So to the people commenting saying the parents made a mistake not terminating the pregnancy that is very rude he is still a human he is just uniquely different.
I was deeply disturbed by this video.. And that chick's smile at the end..
This makes my heart hurt. Why anyone would do this to someone on purpose perplexes me.
You think the parents did this to him on purpose? are we watching the sam you-tube? YOur comment is mean. It perplexes me that you believe this was done on purpose. You are so quick to point the finger . You give all us Christians a bad name. God is the judge not you. They love their son and how dare you write an egregious comment.
No one hurt this baby on purpose. Have you've hurt a child where they became disabled because you touramented that poor baby. Guilty conscience much? What are you even talking about. The baby was born severely disabled. It perplexes me on how stupid and ignorant you sound.
i think georgiana is talking about their descicion to NOT terminate their pregnancy and essentially raise a child that will never be able to function normally and constantly has seizures as well as a plethora of other ..."conditions". just think about it, what is more humane, to simply terminate the pregnancy or to go through with it and maintain this poor human being that is suffering every waking second of his miserable existence. I honestly feel so bad for this poor kid and can totally understand why someone would choose to terminate their pregnancy. You think Georgina gives christians a bad name, but you nicki give humans a bad name because of your selfish ignorance and blind idealism. people like you hold the entire human race back with that 18th century mindset and are the reason a lot of issues dont get resolved. please re- evaluate your life.
Maybe they had hope and hope is important. Maybe they believed that a miracle would happen because they do everyday. Abortion or giving a life. No one wins in this. I just do not like how she wrote the comment. The parents are doing what they can to help and create a beautiful life for this baby. Do people really believe they wanted this? Support the parents so they can make the baby's life better. Do not judge them and be mean. Support them so they can support their baby.
they're too afraid to let him go.
or maybe it has something to do with religion.
Its all a little selfish.
I just don't see what quality of life this child has. I have lost 2 children after finding out how bad off they were developing I was relieved when they passed away. Yes it is sad losing a child but sometimes it's better than watching them suffer.
During pregnancy?
I'm sorry. Hugs
I am sorry to ask but was that lost, stillborn or aborted? Again who is anyone to say what they would have been like had they lived? I used to take a bus to work when I lived in London and a Downs Syndrome girl used to take the same bus to work, a coffee shop in Ilkestone employed a Downs Syndrome girl, ok she did the washing up, clearing tables etc she was more employable than some people. My youngest daughter's friend has a Downs sister aged 50 and she is delightful. Nobody has the right to play God where an unborn child is concerned.
You are right seeing your child suffering is the worst
Patricia Smith you are disgusting and downright evil! How could you POSSIBLY say that you were “relieved” when your precious babies DIED! Listen here woman, I’d call you a lady but it’s VERY clear you aren’t one(!), I was raped at 18, gave birth at 19, spent the next 11 years trying to figure out what was wrong with my little girl and, now, have spent the last 3 years getting new diagnoses tacked on! She has over 20 diagnostic codes on her file and she is one of the HAPPIEST, HEALTHIEST, MOST WELL ADJUSTED teenagers you will NEVER have the privilege of meeting because you are a MONSTER! My daughter has more genetic issues than children who’s deaths you celebrated and she’s still a perfectly normal, snarky, cellphone loving, friend seeking, God fearing, beautiful, makeup loving, all night pulling, choir singing, Instagram using teenager!
You make me SICK you disgusting excuse for a human!!
I’m pro life, but most importantly I’m pro choice. I don’t agree with these parents choice but hey - it’s not up to me. They can do whatever they want to do, but that freedom must encompass everyone.
While I can’t decide what they can do, they shouldn’t be able to decide what I can do.
It's good that you clarify that you don't have to like abortion to value the decision making of parents. A lot of pro lifers don't seem to understand that you can be pro life for you and pro choice for everyone else who you don't know the situation of. You don't have to be pro abortion to be pro choice!! I'm pro choice and would never have an abortion unless medically necessary.
By stating you don't agree you are already trying to decide for others. It's interesting how no one gets that.
Daniel C That’s not how it works ...
Acher they are perpetrating fraud on everyone that donates to their foundation. Jaxon died in 2016, I believe. They spend all that tax-free money. Where is Jaxon, who would be 5 years old now. Let’s see a new video. They always show this one, trying to hook new people into donating. They don’t tell you he was born in August of 2014. Where’s a new picture? The Feds are investigating them but apparently they’re very smart, bc there’s no public birthdate or date of death for their child. They hide it all but pretend he’s still living.
0z, Ltd. wtf? Jaxon isn’t dead dude. He’s 5 years old, bloated, fat with long hair & looking like a dead fish.
He’s living in a care facility where his mother pick him up from time to time. She remarried & got a healthy little girl 4 months ago with her new husband.
Brandon live on a house near the beach & party, he’s at his second DUI, never visit his son but keep doing those hypocritical fake ass pro life speeches speaking of how miraculous his son is when the guy never visit him ahaha
As for the scam, it’s true indeed. They received about a million dollars of donations since Jaxon’s birth. And Brittany’s own brother in law confessed that they decided to not abort him because of the money they could make out of his condition.
But things has changed & now people know about the scam & talk openly. But the parents keep hiding like rats, blocking every people asking them “sensitive questions” whereas those people are the same who gave them this money in the first place....
2:55 he’s not saying I love you I can literally hear him scream in pain I can’t believe how cruel his parents are RIP little guy
@@alfredeinstein1742 And money. Can't forget those sweet, sweet pity bucks.
Sadly i do not think he can comprehend pain. Fly high Jaxon.
@@jamesr5436the spinal cord feels sensation. In all honesty it was probably stimuli that he had no brain to "process" to the water was probably an extremely overwhelming sensation that was a negative feedback loop. In fact most stimuli probably was excruciatingly painful or overwhelming
@@trteeerryfse-wy2ww Damn thats sad, RIP Jaxon
I’m fascinated by your ability to convince yourself their is quality to his life. This honestly seems cruel and unnecessary.
He has some of his brain and the brain is an amazing thing. When one part is missing, other parts can take over the functions of the missing part
Jean Diehl Bullshit
Yeah, It does to a certain extent, provided there was actually a brain in the first place.
Yeah mate. He only has a brain stem. He can’t just grow a brain. If you remove a hemisphere, the brain can reroute nerves and compensate because there are regions in the other hemisphere that do all the necessary functions. If you lose your entire visual cortex (at the back of the brain) your brain can’t just learn to see with the amygdala. And if you don’t have a prefrontal cortex (personality) you can’t create one in the cerebellum.
But to be fair-bc he doesn’t feel pain nor have any sense of self-keeping him isn’t cruel, it’s wasteful and manipulative.
Just because it's not "quality life to you" doesnt mean it's not quality for the the parents and the child born. The child was born knowing nothing of this world he knows nothing more than what he has, he feels normal. I think you need to re listen to what the dad said at the end again he made a very good point.
Appearantly, it only takes 20% of your brain to say I LOVE YOU
Awe
It's what we were created to do.
😢tears of happiness be like
Yes
Nope. Ya know that only person like human are taking 5% of humans brain
Everyone in the comments saying how beautiful Jaxon is, how precious it is that he said "I love you", and what a loving family the Buells are. I get where you're coming from, but no. Jaxon was, indeed, a cute, chubby, blue-eyed baby. However, he wasn't a normal baby, or even a disabled baby; he was a baby born without 80% of his brain. Jaxon couldn't form thoughts or feel emotions, and had only the most rudimentary of reflexes. He was incapable of saying, thinking or feeling words, let alone anything related to love, because he lacked the parts of the brain necessary for higher thinking. He cannot be compared to a person with a brain injury who miraculously regains lost functions, because those people had the parts of the brain necessary to do those things in the first place, whereas Jaxon NEVER had them.
As saddening as it may be to accept, the Buells were grifters. They jumped through legal loopholes to create a charity without any accountability, then used their earnings as a personal slush fund. The money donated to help Jaxon was used to buy a McMansion and go on exotic vacations, without their son. (And without each other: they were separated, and downplayed it to maintain the image of being loving Christian parents, because they didn't want their target audience to desert them.) When the charity was uncovered as a fraud and shut down, they divorced. Brittney dumped Jaxon in a care facility, remarried, had a neurotypical child, and now pretends like Jaxon never existed. Meanwhile, Jaxon's father keeps working the pro-life circuit, peddling the same fantasies you see presented in this video (while dodging all questions about his personal life).
Are you absolutely sure? These are serious allegations and if you're right, the only thing more horrifying than having to go through all this with a poor baby sick as Jaxon is capitalising on his sickness.
It's all true, unfortunately. There was a Facebook page a while back that exposed their fraud, I'm not sure if it's still up. But yes, Brittney dumped Jaxon in a care facility and got remarried, and another child and just moved on with her life. He had been in the care facility for a few years before he died.
What's a McMansion?
I wanted children so much, It took me 4 years to concieve the first time, And when I found out I was pregnant I was so excited! I dont know what I would have done if they told me my child had a serious problem?? But but there was no way of knowing? Back in 1971 when my son was born we didnt know if it was a girl or a boy until it was born! Thank God he was born healthy! I really dont know what I would of done in their case?? But my heart tells me I wouldnt have aborted the baby, I would of put it in Gods hands! Everything is for a reason" Lets pray that Their son enjoys what happiness he can while on this earth! Hes certainly loved regardless of his problems! I pray for the parents, That when the time comes that Jaxon leaves this world his life wont be in vain.
The mum is in complete disillusion and she thinks she has a sentient son that is learning when she is literally carrying around an empty body, its a sad horrible thing but the doctors were right steering her towards termination, all the councilling was for her, because there was never going to be a future when a child has this condition. I just hope that his existence will help further the research and prevention of this, all together.
WizZz FizZz I agree. I know they felt excited about having a child but she is just tube feeding and puppeteering this lifeless cavity
Why make him live in this world, he won’t ever even understand, he has half a brain for the UNIVERSE’s sake. His mind will never function properly. I understand bringing a crippled child into the world because they still have a mind. The poor thing can’t even this properly and they made him live.
Barrier Boy who the fuck is an "abortionist"? You prolifers don't understand that just because someone is pro-life does not mean they are pro-abortion. They just believe in the right to choose to have an abortion or not. I know many people who are pro-choice that would never get an abortion.
I dunno I think with extreme cases like this even if you are anti-abortion, it's not quite the same thing and you can't argue like it is the same.
Also, anyone, who thinks this kid has any quality of life I'm sorry, its heart wrenching but he doesn't have a brain, by "a miracle" and extreme chance the parts that were left is what makes his heart beat and his lungs work other than that there is nothing else.
No it came that it was some sort of plan, they he won't ever be able to live himself and becuase of that they get idea for easy money. Maybe they did love him somehow but real parent would not ever let their child live like that if it was known during pregnancy that he probably will be like that.
This is incredibly sad. He isn’t living, he’s just there. I believe these parents only want money for their own luxuries, not the babies’ needs. Jaxon isn’t living a life, he’s just there. No feelings, emotions, anything.
Also, the baby didn’t say I love you. It wouldn’t add up. Any baby, let alone one with half a brain wouldn’t be to say “I love you” to their parents.
Severus Snape u sound like you have half a Brain ... congrats
Severus Snape And how would you know? Professor Snape, You need to put yr witchcraft books away and pick up the Bible and learn about hope and love incarnate, Jesus Christ, the Way the Truth and the Life.

If you look them up, you will see how they have exploited their child. They've received over a $176,000 for his care and for charity. at this date, they have only given $7, 500 towards charity. The rest were spent on a car, designer clothes, you name it.
I am not a parent so
i can't really speak for these folks, but, being in their shoes and knowing what sort of quality of life he/she would have, would leave me with no other choice but to abort. That in my opinion would be greatest testament of love for your child, not allowing it to suffer unnecessarily the rest of his or her short life.
They said in the video they’re a Christian, and Christianity says that abortion is a sin.
Before you do anything rash I would call the straw man in OZ and see if he has an extra cerebellum.
@@lowcamper1209 Where did you get your brain? From a Cracker Jack box?

This is awful. He has no quality of life. He wasn't trying to walk, that is just a reflex.
But atleast he has had a great life he may suffer but all the parents wanted was him to live and not just say "just put him down" if he dies he dies at least he had a chance

@@Taelyr Thank you for the link! Very enlightening and informative.
I'm pro life but this .. idk I couldn't watch my baby suffer daily in pain . I'd feel like a terrible mom. Idk what I'd do in this situation.
Kayla Flowers I think it's fair to say "I don't know what I would do." As a Christian mother, neither do I. All these idiots who can easily say to end the life of a child have clearly never been in this situation. And likely don't have children. It's so silly for people to pass judgement and say THEY know the right thing to do, when it hasn't even happened to them and they've never had to decide to kill their own child or not
I agree. I believe Jaxon would've gone to heaven without being born. In cases of extreme genetic and developmental disorders I would support humane termination.
Tara 907 It's not easily said, but easily decided as people who actually use their thinking "skills" acknowledges the inhumane way, is to let this child live such a life. He isn't capable of thought nor emotion, the child is nothing more than a barely functioning vessel.
You know, being pro-choice doesn’t mean you have to be pro-abortion. Im pro-choice, and I absolutely think people have the right to live full/happy/heathy lives..and don’t just use abortion as a birth control (that’s what birth control, and the morning after pill is for. Preventing pregnancy before it becomes an issue). But these people are only using medical technology to extend this poor kids existence and suffering. And really that’s all he’s doing, is existing and suffering for their own selfishness. Literally the only thing giving him any kind of reflexes (and they are only reflexes, not learned behaviors, because he is not neurologically capable of learning anything) is the stem of what small portion of the brain he even has. Sure He has the right to live...but when the only things keeping his body from naturally ending his own suffering, is medical devices, that’s not living, that’s forced existing.
Hes not in any pain
Anyone on here with negative comments should be ashamed I mean that so strongly! I’ll pray for you just as I pray for Him! You a have A LOT OF GROWING UP TO DO! I serve a awesome God! And he loves ALL!
That dad looks like elon musks brother
This child has little to zero concept of anything, and lives a life solely consisting of raw impulses and constant seizures. His life, in short, is nothing but suffering. His parents are monsters who have exploited his condition for social currency and monetary benefit, and anyone who doesn't recognize this has less of a brain Jaxon does.
absolutely agree. I am glad to see I am not the only one who immediately thought this was a horrible thing to do to a child when you KNOW it is going to be that way. Actually they thought it was going to be WORSE, yet proceeded..... what the heck is behind that kind of decision making? my utmost instinct is to protect my child from pain and suffering and fear, if I knew my child was going to be born with so much wrong I would terminate out of mercy no matter how much it broke my heart and even if I thought id go to hell for it. you dont purposely bring a child into that hell.if I had a child born with a disability that I didn't know was coming or wouldn't be so utterly and completely profound then yes you deal with what comes, no legs? sure, blind or deaf? sure but no brain? what is wrong with these people? they disgust me.
I go to a Catholic School. They force us to believe in Life, not abortion. (I’m pro choice so don’t go after me, ha!) but we were just forced to go on ‘March For Life’. It’s a peaceful protest where we go march with signs saying things like “Don’t kill” “God wouldn’t want this” it upsets me (as a FRESHMAN in highschool) that they force us to believe this. I completely agree with what you are saying.

He is not saying "I love you", he is probably trying to tell her to end his suffering and stop being so selfish to keep him alive. He is not aware of anything going on, he is not sentient. He's just there. Out to lunch. They are very selfish in the way theyre keeping him alive.
Seminole Gamer He/she doesn’t mean literally.
Scream77541 bitch
You can insult me all you want. You know he is in constant pain.
Agreed 100 percent...They're selfish...
If they were truly selfish they would have murdered their baby for their own convienence. Instead they are taking care of their baby and probably have late nights watching over him. Selfishness would be to murder your baby so you can have a better quality of life. Children are an inheritance of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
When any human baby is born, it is born with the reflex to root and around searching for a nipple to latch onto and then around 1 or 2 months of age they will also show the instinct to "walk" that is to draw the legs upward one after the other when you hold it over the floor and allow it's feet to touch the ground--the infant appears to walk. All infants do this.
The reflexes we are all born with disappear as the upper brain develops. The fact that these reflexes are still present indicates the upper brain is not developed and the infant is relying solely on basic reflexes found only in the lower brain at the time of birth. The child is stuck only in the most basic state of lower brain reflexes.
If this child was born with a human soul then the soul is stuck in this body unable to develop--imagine a computer whose interface with the world is damaged beyond repair. He can not interact in any meaningful way (on his part anyway), he can not learn or understand, he can not store memories. He can not grow or develop as a human being.
I can not become angry with the parents, people grieve and cope in different ways--I am sure they grieve the loss of a healthy child--What I don't understand is why medical doctors are compelled to intervene and "save" any and every life simply because they can. This child CAN NOT EAT. Only a few years ago, as sad as it is to consider the death of an infant, the child would have passed not long after birth and I believe it would be a mercy.
Have the medical doctors or parents considered that this poor child could still be alive at 40 or 30 or 70 years old? His parents would be dead or too old to care for him. No longer cute. No longer small and easy to move around; completely reliant on paid strangers to care for him. If his poor body is able to hang on to a human soul, I feel very sorry that it is stuck here in this hellish limbo.
It is almost like being stuck for entire life in a matchbox.
MoonTeller I totally agree with everything you have written!!! And the tact and class you used if far beyond anything I could have written. This stuff makes me emotional too because society makes me feel like I should feel quilty or less than for thinking this is wrong!! When I think it's wrong to bring a child into this world just to suffer and become a burden on so many. To me it some most severe cases it's needless suffering and needless resources and time being wasted. For a human being that has no quality of life, other than to be a disabled doll for their parents, and if they live longer going be a burden on us and others. Overwhelming state funding and other government resources. That could be better spent to help healthy/healthier children and adults.
gaara sama It's said on the video he can't eat.. he receives nutrition through a tube ... 1:50 ... It's mentioned in the same sentence that he gets regular seizures.
So yes, I agree with MoonTeller... I'm not saying that at this point he should just be killed, but to forcefully keep him alive as they have done doesn't seem like a very benevolent thing to do for the child himself.
Babies born like this generally only live up to a year, two at the most.
Souls does not exist.
Keeping yall in thoughts in prayers. Awesome family, awesome son.
yeah thank the bastard who made him like this 🤣
This comment section is killing me, why is everyone so hateful? Commenters say he must be miserable because he can't experience happiness, but then he also can't experience misery. These parents are trying to make the best out of an awful situation, and are doing so admirably.
You need to be honest; the child is not "eating on its own"; if you look at the entire video, you will see that the child is not able to control his head movements and with the grandmother (not a homeless woman) sticking a cookie almost down its throat, he is merely moving his open mouth over it and "mouthing" it. He could have choked on it. Here is the entire 1:39 min video: czcams.com/video/5WyHYxNjeGw/video.html None of cookie is eaten, and the only thing he "eats" is a few crumbs that come off on his lips from the continuous saliva. There are several parts where he even pulls his head back and away and she sticks the cookie in his mouth again. Just be honest.
2:30 they want him to "experience everything"? He's not experiencing anything at all. Most of his brain is gone. They're practically playing around with a doll.
y yg ru is 3
Sad but accurate.
Grace Carrera , the doll remark was a little insensitive, but those are reflexes dude. We know what different parts of the brain are responsible for and that baby lacks the parts of the brain that create consciousness, volitional action, personality, executive function, and memory. That's just science and not up for debate.
Mike Rothwell yeah I'm sorry it's just that the claim of practically playing with a doll was very insensitive and just got me a little mad and upset, I'm no genius or anything I'm just a twelve year old using my mom's tablet, I know the facts are there but I just can't take the reality of the world sometimes. Let me tell you it hurts.

I don’t care how he came into this world, I only care that he came. My son died when he was 13. He never learned to walk or talk, but was constantly smiling and laughing. Stop and think before something like that comes out of your mouth.
Stephanie Epley I never opened my mouth- it’s a comment on the internet. And what are you trying to insinuate by saying “you’d find out exactly how sad yours would be”? Is that a threat?
Get a tougher skin it’s the Internet and I can believe it’s cruel to bring a crippled child into the world with no quality of life simply because someone believes AlL lIfE iS pReCiOuS even if that life will suffer. If your son didn’t suffer and you believe he had quality in his life cool- but I for sure wouldn’t want to allow someone I loved live like that.
Jessica Ryan just because this child isn’t “perfect” to you, doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve life
Jessica Ryan not sad but different!
Jessica Ryan How do you know it's a sad life ,what's sad in his life he's got a lot of love around him I'm sure he's a happy baby God bless him.
There's No Way In Hell He's Surviving. I Think Those Parents Are Selfish
Venom Lace ikr
He's beautiful. A beautiful child with loving, devoted parents. It's that simple.
Nope... the parents divorced and he’s now living in a home. They also received donation money that didn’t even go to the child but to vacations and material items.
@@Immagiraffe101 Do you know what home he was put it?
The Lord does not fail anybody. Just trust.
That family is so so so beautiful. ❤️
(R.I.P. Jaxon 😭❤️ For sure he's watching from above smiling.)
Oh hell no! What kind of quality of life is this poor guy going to have?? He was not eating that cookie, he was reacting to the stimuli in his mouth but eating, he was not. I couldnt watch my kid go through that, I already have spoken to my family that if something were to befall me, and I'm disabled to the point where I can't eat or perform daily bodily functions on my own, let me go. Pull the plug and let me go...thats not a life at that point, and I woukdnt want to be kept going for somoeone else's comfort.
Recklesss 1990 - they jam food into its mouth for photo and video ops.
agreed
I’m severely disabled and tube fed would you like to kill me to? Just remember you could have a disabled child one day..
☀️ Ｓｕｎｎｙ Ｄａｙｓ ☀️ - no one wants to kill anybody Ms. "Sunny Triggered." More importantly, I note you have somewhat of a brain. The creature exists for entertainment value only. Just like the buells intended when they saturated social media with their videos and pictures of the little gremlin.
Insensitive fucks. You would rather kill your own child if disabled rather than allowing the baby to grow and have potential
Jackson: AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Mom: OMG! He's saying he loves us! He's sooooooo smart and strong!!! Like, next Einstein!
Jacksons thoughts: I'm in pain woman!
cate queso..Correct, or worse yet "kill me"!
Even that notion isnt reality because he doesnt have thoughts. The poor thing has about the capability of a mold or fungus. His life as an air plant isnt making a difference....except for every rising health insurance costs. Parents are in a kind of denial, no bad on their part. But listen to the doctors, 9 out of 10, the decision will be a solid one.
The poor child’s brain is probably smaller than that of my beta fish.
Doctors say he's not in pain
alienstarguest so that means Jackson can’t even think or walk by his own will?
He probably doesn’t even know he’s alive
All the pro-lifers here saying it's God's decision to create this child and modern medicine shouldn't interfere - then why is it ok to use modern medicine to keep him artificially alive after birth? If everything is in God's hands, then it would also be His will for that boy to die very soon after birth without artificial help (he'd probably die of dehydration and starvation without that feeding tube). Pretty hypocritical.
שרלילה? חחח מה זה השם הזה
Jaxon is getting more love from his mother than I did.
.... Maybe, next time.
my brother has down syndrome. when he was born, he couldn't breathe and fought to live. he is now turning twelve. the difference? he is capable of most things this poor child will never be able to do. as long as the child, special needs or not, is capable of living a somewhat normal, independent life, it is your choice to keep the baby. if the child is not capable of even being able to eat a cookie and doesn't have most of it's brain, i believe they would prefer to be aborted. there should be no "but what if..." if you know the child will be like this before birth. endless, uncontrollable suffering isn't a life. don't be selfish. do what is right.
jaxon is a strong little boy, but he is NOT happy. it pains me to see him suffer.
if i missed any other points, please add on. or have a FRIENDLY DEBATE about being pro choice or pro life. FRIENDLY!
💕
Agreed 100%
People with special needs that can live normally(Not like this little boy in the video) should live life,because they can do many things in life.Like your brother,that can do many amazing things in life.But people like this little boy,that has only 20% of his brain and can't do anything in his life and is suffering should have already died when he was born.It may seem rude but he's just suffering.I'm glad your brother survived,and I know he will be able to do many sucessfull things in life ❤
Very nice response. Your brother no doubt is special. Correct this is just a pitiful situation made worse every day it goes on. Perhaps a package deal of Jaxson and his greedy parents to be express sent to heaven (euthanized ) can be made. Calling Dr Kevorkian right now.
mikayla Your are arguing from analogy which is a logical fallacy. You are comparing profound Down Syndrome to being born without a brain. Don't be stupid.
Chicken is not Kris Wu's style Ooh, ooh, oooh walking the razors edge there. Just a bit to clarify your explanation; "live normally" like, are we killing all nonverbal, mentally disabled and paralyzed kids or...? I'm curious if we're on the same page here.
John Morris, you clearly missed the point. She wasn't comparing, she was CONTRASTING her brother's Down Syndrome to Jaxon's condition. And there's nothing even approaching an "analogy" in her post.
You know, I've noticed that people who actually think well don't have to stoop to calling other people "stupid." But the bright side is, if you work at it you can improve your own thinking (though you may have to give up some of your rage and hostility to accomplish this).
He's not really alive. He never will be fully alive. It's cruel to keep him alive, you're torturing him
right he's not even really a human being
You're right he has to suffer everyday for the rest of his life
what do you know??
what gives you you the idea that he suffers?...yes he reacts and lives in a different world, but you cannot decide for him that he is suffering, just because you couldn't imagine to live like that. so news for you: even heavily disabled people can be happy and have a right to live...o.O
They literally said he wasnt in pain were u watching the video
A man a while back had a disease that cut off 90% of his brain. 90% was not functioning at all. He had 1/8 of an inch of gray matter. Even with that, he maintained at the time an average IQ. The brain is an amazing thing. It seems likely that he will be severely disabled his whole life, but really there is no way to really know for sure even. It is possible someday for him to be living independently and functioning on his own. He is obviously developing much much slower than normal, but it is not impossible for things to pick up.
This is terrible, that poor baby is literally living a life of pain and agony, his parents are so delusional... "Look at him walk!".... as his neck is snapping backwards and they are forcing his feet forward... I know they are trying to have hope but if he can't hear or see, he doesn't know what's going on and it must be terrifying.
This made made me cry. God Bless this child
If God was going to bless this child he wouldn't have allowed it to turn out this way in the first place
i wouldn’t have put him through this
baby jessie tv So you would have sucked his brains out?
Cotto On im pro life but this is cruel and so much worse than abortion
There are no brains to suck out. This meat puppet, was brainless.
Any life is better than none. He isn't suffering.
@@Lopez-my1bo The you aren't pro life
Update: I read that Jaxson is in an institution, the parents divorced and the authorities are looking into this.
Grateful where did you read it?? Update.. Sources like Fake news
Grateful
Link?
whaaaaaat???? No way but they are good christians. That is impossible. Yeah right. Bet they will say the devil made them do it. How absolutely disgusting this whole story has turned out. I tell you, those good christians are going to make America great again.
mike, I notice you're already screaming "fake news" before you even know the source - which proves your opinions are worthless, since they're not based in evidence.
@@bobf5711 They were not Christians until the pro-life made donations.
Happiness is a decision, not a situation. That baby can be happier than a lot of people with a whole brain. People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. And seeing how this baby doesn't have a "mind", he's off to a good start because his parents are happy just to be with him
Remind You of Who? It’s honestly so much better for that creature, his life is seizures and he doesn’t know what’s doing on, i say put him out of his misery
Remind You of Who? Imagine being a kid without parents and needing to be adopted and seeing not only parents wasting time but forcing a creature to live in pain it’s not right prolife sucks
@@vamprae7966 You're rediculous. Pro-life sucks? Wish they could have done the same for you because your life seems like a complete misery with that kind of mindset 😂 Good luck
You parents are very brave for taking care of this child in this world.
Why these Jackson’s clips are so painful to watch...
because he's not just a normal kid, he's disabled, i feel bad for him.
j a n g m i a h - painful? I think it's hilarious.
Me Grimlock - The creature wants to be interviewed on this very subject!
Because he is seizing essentially non stop.
Liberty Huntington - flailing and jerking. Great entertainment!
Do a little research on the parents and you will find that they were begging for donations and using them to go on extravagant vacations while leaving Jaxon behind. They are only in it for the money, sadly.
Harlii That really breaks my heart so they kept him just for the money. I hate people!!!
I feel bad for the baby,on it just for the money :(
It takes a strong and patient parent to deal with a child with any disability ..even though some may not agree but I applaud them.. God will not put anything on you that you cannot bare.. some people out here with healthy kids still don't know how to be a parent..I believe everyone has a purpose..and should have a chance at life..so God bless them.
What beautiful blue eyes! He's so cute. He may not have the complete awareness that we have, but he is full of life and joy.
He died in 2020.
he wasn’t full of anything but pain
Life is a gift but that baby will never have one. He's missing 80% of his brain! Sometimes the kindest thing is to let them go.
Its selfish to keep a baby alive that is suffering. Letting go would be the hardest decision. I would never want my child to suffer through daily seizures because I selfishly want a baby
jack lock Yes it is
There delusional
jack lock Yet I'm here 🤣
sally smith his life is still hanging in the balance. Chances are he won’t get much older. He’s not in pain. How is he any diff then people who care for their babies with Downs, cerebral palsy, Treacher Collins syndrome, missing limbs, spina bifida. People with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) juvenile Diabetes causes severe damage to kids leading to dialysis, blindness, vascular disease.
that isn't really even a baby, it is parts of what should have been a baby being kept alive artificially. We wouldn't even allow an dog to live that way. This is horrifying.
Yes well said. There is literally no point in him being alive.
Cheryl Ferry wow, as the adoptive mom of an angel named Jasmine, I am horrified and saddened at your comment. There is something seriously wrong with your soul, my dear. Let me tell you about my little Jasmine, who I adopted knowing she was special needs. Like Jaxon, she had a major brain malformation: Jasmine was born missing the entire left half of her brain. She had many many seizures per day, and her caregivers in the orphanage in Hong Kong told us she would never walk, never speak...never do much of anything. HOW WRONG THEY WERE!!! She only lived a little less than 6 years, but she learned to walk with the aid of a walker. She said many words, and she also used sign language. She had an impish sense of humor and loved to hide my car keys, and her favorite people to watch on TV were Weird Al and Emeril Lagassee. And you want to call Jaxon and my Jasmine, “dogs”??? You have a lot of nerve. They are angels. THINK next time you post.
@@lindabowers2616 you didn't exploit her in order to raise money for yourself. These awful parents have had about $750k in donations. They got a new house, new cars and lots of nice holidays. There are many videos of him having multiple seizures and they pass it off that he's excited. They wildly exaggerate what Jaxon is capable of and Brittney even puts make up on him. Have you watched any of the other videos of him? They are truly horrific and very sad.
Only thing this bundle of cells are good for, is harvesting organs. He's suffering in a state facility now, neither parent sees him except on a holiday to post a video and get more donations. I hope he falls asleep peacefully and stops living in perpetual seizures.
Linda Bowers do not connect your daughter to this child and misconstrue this commenters worlds. Your child had half of her brain, Jackson basically only has the brain stem this child was born basically brain dead he was born lobotomized. These parents are in denial everything he does is a reflex, his eyes hold no person he is just a body. He has no frontal lobe he has no personality, he will never feel emotion he will never see or hear or enjoy life. He lives in a black void of consciousness if he even is there at all, his brain stem keeps his body alive and that is all. This isn’t a child that could experience life like your daughter at least this is a child that will never live beyond basic survival. She was right when she described him as just parts of a baby because that’s what he is a human body with no body inside, it’s heartbreaking but it’s fucking true. These parents are delusional and selfish and I feel sorry for them because this is terrible but they should’ve terminated the pregnancy when the doctor told them to. They should’ve terminated the pregnancy before they could birth him just to suffer. It’s true we don’t even treat dogs like this, when your pet stops walking and being able to function you euthanize him because the quality of life doesn’t justify their suffering. We euthanize pets because we are living and merciful and don’t want them to suffer, yet people would let human children be born to suffer for the entirety of a miserable experience? Jaxon doesn’t exist inside of those eyes, nobody is home nobody is there.
What a amazingly strong family, we do not know what there child can feel , I really hope he is a happy little boy despite his tragic deformities. My he always be blessed with pure love .
He looks so much like his dad 💕 he’s a beautiful baby 💕
He has no brain what are you talking about
This was a light jab at the dad, huh?
jimmy fallon he has no brain like his dad
and yeah, looks like his 'dad'!
