Former Nickelodeon child star Tylor Chase who is known for his role "Martin" in the show Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide was spotted appearing unrecognizable and homeless in California.
Supposedly Tyler Chase has been located and has been talking to his friends and family about accepting help. Let’s show this man some moral support! ❤️
OMG one of my friend’s dad met him in person earlier. Lemme give you guys an update on him.
Shawn Weiss from the Mighty Ducks is currently working on getting him to stay at a Rehab center. He’s currently staying at a hotel room tonight to give him time to make his own decision on whether he wants to go through with it or not.
Additional info: The Tyler Chase story happened back around September, so this vid isn’t new. He knows and has been participating in vids when people have run into him IRL. He’s not being shamed.
He's a child star.. seems like they have a higher incident of sexual abuse too, which is a perfect catalyst for mind breaking. We should seriously fund mental health. No matter what the cause.
I believe that any child star develops anxiety from the environment that they are placed in. Their parents rely on them for income, and push them. So do agents, and managers. Then they have problems becoming a real person because they are always playing other characters, and they are always 'acting' to either the press, or anyone in the outside world who expects them to be something in particular, or someone that they are supposed to be. Then they are always reading about themselves in the media, for absolutely everything that they do: going to the store, going to the park, having a girl or boyfriend.... Life is a goldfish bowl. What is the escape? Medication. Who gives it? Parents, agents, managers...actors producers, dealers...But you are an actor, so you can hide your dependency, until, you can't, and then...you are no longer an asset. So you become a dude on the street.
The same thing has happened to numerous child actors for close to a hundred years now. Do you remember Judy Garland? Elizabeth Taylor? They weren't sexually abused, just used up by an industry that doesn't care and caters to fame.
Unlike many other professions, people in the film/movie industry do not to pass a CORI check or background check before working with children. Casting directors often have an attitude of 'once you're older than 7 you need to be representing yourself and not always have mom or dad with you"
And "dont worry, its a cast party so parents dont need to be present" because its normal for adults and children to party together /s
Letting people just fester in the streets doesnt seem like a great moral or societal choice either.
Edit: "You do realize you are advocating for the state to have the ability to force treatment against ones will right?"
Yep.
Because letting people wander the streets in diseased conditions, being preyed on by drug pushers, tent cities literally clogged with filth, std coated needles, and littered with garbage going into storm drains, yeah.
No one said it's a good choice. Doing absolutely nothing and calling it good is mind boggling.
I agree. The heroin, meth and cocaine addicts who end up on the streets do need society to step in. Incarceration and a permanent record is not the way, but forcing them into 2 year rehabs strikes me as more ethical than leaving them to die in agony in a meth hole.
I don't think you all realize just how much work and money that would cost. These people need more than just rehab. Rehab stops when they walk out the door. They need support basically 24/7 after if the rehabilitation is going to be effective.
And his family shut down efforts on Go Fund me, saying "he needs medical care, not money", but like how exactly does she think that medical care would be paid for? Sure, don't hand the dude a check and let him go, but???
Apparently, the family has money and has supported him in multiple rehabs and sober living homes. He just keeps leaving. The medical care they’re referring to I believe is medication for a comorbid psychological disorder with his addiction.
There was a gofundme that raised over $1000. His family had it taken down. They said money won’t help his situation, he needs medical/psychological help. Sad situation
What do you think he's going to do with the money. He's a homeless, rock bottom drug addict from the look of his twitchie demeanor. If he gets that money next week we will be seeing posts on Reddit saying rip, after he's found on the side of the street next month, overdosed by the meth this fundraiser basically supplied him with. People will only get help if they want it. Good luck trying to convince him to get said help
Yeah, it looks like there is already one set-up based on the last frame of the video too. This is the definitely the type of thing we should be taking advantage of the mob-mentality of social media for. Everything else that comes from social media is a huge net negative, so might as well do some good with it when the opportunity arises.
His mother has allegedly stated that Taylor (Tylor) Chase has schizophrenia and requires medical treatment, which he is reportedly refusing. She emphasized that he does not need money, and asked influencers and fans to stop raising funds or giving him free marijuana, because it can trigger psychotic episodes or worsen his mental health. He can’t manage money or keep track of his phone. She’s given him multiple phones but he loses them.
People don’t get how devastating disorders like this can be. They just creep up on someone and take every single thing from their life, all while they often refuse to acknowledge what is actually going on, they are incapable of seeing it.
Glad his parents know his condition... but damn they need to put him in a psych ward (a good one). I don't know if they've tried, got him released, and he stopped his medications (because of side-effects)... got in trouble/schizo-loop again (seen a lot of patients like this).
At some point... if the schizophrenia is too heavy, there's almost nothing you can do and it's horrible to witness especially for parents. Not like the movies... with milds like Josh Nash/a beautiful mind.
Ok this needs to be said. Lots of people think it's easy to put these people in a psych ward for help but it's simply not that easy. I'm sure his parents have done all they can. Ultimately in North America at least, the affected person has to give consent and want to get help, which most times they will deny ever having a problem to begin with. Same thing with drug users or alcoholics. If they themselves don't consent to getting help, the parents can't do anything because over here you can't force them to attend.
I have a family friend who's son recently died of schizophrenia, much older than Tylor Chase is. His primary caregivers died. He should also be in a place for help, but didn't want to get admitted because he can't admit he has a problem...got diabetes, got blind in both eyes, got gangrene...Ultimately died. Tough to help people with Schizophrenia or those who can't admit or see they have a real problem. Truly terrible affliction to have. Not many real places to help around. Not only does the person suffer, their family suffers too. Sad sad stuff.
I was in a psych ward twice at two different locations and there were people at both in for “long term care” who just got shuffled from short term facility to short term facility. We do have a new facility nearby now with wings for children, adults, and the elderly, but it doesn’t meet the massive need.
One way you can override the need for patient's consent is to file a petition for involuntary mental health treatment. I think the determining factor is that the patient has to be considered to be a danger to themselves or others.
When I was 17 I was forcibly put into treatment for anorexia and it literally saved my life and I am very aware of that…
But despite knowing it saved my life I have never been able to forgive my parents entirely even though I want to. Every time I see them I just remember begging them not to leave me while being held down by paramedics(which was fair, I was attached to ivs lol). I remember being isolated because it was separated by age and I was the only 16-17 year old all the other girls were 18+ or 15 and lower so I wasn’t allowed to talk to anyone but the staff
People act like helping people in this desperate of a situation is the as simple as catching and releasing a stray cat. Grab em, fix em, let em go… if only it were that easy
I have a ex-brother-in-law with paranoid schizophrenia. He goes off his meds, spirals, gets treated, goes to an assisted living facility, does well, is transitioned to living on his own after a year, and the whole cycle repeats. If he had access to full time assisted living, he’d do phenomenally well. But those don’t exist.
Not arguing, just wondering, do those really exist in America? I know theres assisted livings for those with extreme autism and down syndrome, but I've never heard of long term facilities for people with conditions like schizophrenia
Assisted livings exist and they're every where, you likely just mistake them for nursing homes when you see them. The issue is that people don't have the money for it and the facilities are understaffed. I know because I used to work in one.
Outside of the elderly, we had a resident with an intellectual disability, a 40 year old with alcohol induced dementia, and multiple schizophrenic residents. A single studio room at the place I worked at started at 4,000$ a month, so typically only Medicare for the elderly covers it.
the only way to get in a full time mental health place is to commit a crime and be taken into a state mental health asylum (many of which are underfunded and takes forever to get an open bed). i watched a couple people finally leave the last rehab i was in after they were there for like almost 2 yrs when a bed at a florida ste mental hospital open up. but beyond that you would have to have tons of money and basically get them into some sort of old folks home, which sounds like hell for someone who becomes properly medicated and is 30 to be stuck around 80 yr olds for the rest of your life.
Unless he is an immediate threat to himself or others, their is next to nothing that can be done long term.
As I have heard a DR say "it's not illegal to think different" even though what they think is objectively false and even though they are not an immediate threat to themselves they are a threat to their own well being by becoming homeless and then having to deal with what comes with that.
The US has no long term mental health system, and it's a shame.
I watched this happen to a guy. Id known him for like a year before we started dating. In the beginning, I noticed his eyes were always shaky - idk if thats related, but it was something weird I picked up on, and he would get only fixated on things like group chats he wasnt part of or parties he wasnt invited to, or celebrities whos popularity he didnt understand - like ariana grande. Eventually, for unrelated reasons, it became clear he didnt really like me (calling me fat, dumb, etc.) so I broke up with him, expecting us to just go our separate ways. Every day he would ask to hang out. In the beginning, id throw him some bones, but over time it was just weird how much he wanted to hang out so I started coming up with excuses - this is when I really noticed something was wrong and it wasnt just a quirk. He started calling the people I said I was out with, checking to see if my car was I the parking lot, coming over and waiting outside my door, sitting in the lobby of buildings he thought I may have classes in. One night he sat outside my door for hours, and when I left thinking he'd gone, he pushed me back into the apartment and tried to come in and wouldnt leave until I decked him. I called the cops and that was the last time I saw him. His friends said he still talked about me all the time and that he was fixated on the fact that I'd broken up with him even though he was "better." I moved back home across the country and he followed but never reached out. He ended up getting fired because he thought the work he was doing was going to enable him to start a colony on the moon and he thought he was meant to repopulate it with Ariana grande. He wrote her dozens of letters and decoded every post on her Instagram to determine she was truly in love with him - he put the whole thing here on reddit. Then he stopped posting anywhere online. I googled him, because I was used to seeing his crazy posts, and it turns out he was arrested for planning to commit a mass shooting at an elementary school. Idk how serious his planning could have been, given his mental state, but it was wild to stop and look back at the slow descent. Obviously, I dont know the details of how the people in his life reacted to him after I called the cops, but to me they just seemed to chalk it up to a bad break up. No one really seemed that concerned that he was hung up on me almost longer than we dated and to a concerning degree. I doubt based on the way they talked about it and kept reaching out to me on his behalf that they pushed him to get help before he moved. I can't believe no one in his life stopped him from doing that.
Its a difficult thing to do in any country especially when they refuse treatment. Add on the socail stigma attached to mental illness that persists in developed countries, even more so in America, and it is a continuously shit system all round.
Hard to blame them when their meds strip them of any good feeling. They're stuck between psychosis, being unable to care for themselves, and meds that turn them into incredibly depressed zombies with a tremor. It really sucks to watch someone go through it, can only imagine how much suffering they go through in their lifetime. Wouldn't wish that illness on my worst enemy.
Yes, so much this. So many of the folks I work with are so intelligent but the meds that keep them from psychosis kill their cognitive abilities as well as creativity, and numb them out.
This is what the general public doesn't understand about these medications. I know multiple people suffering from schizophrenia in my life and personally take care of someone who suffers from psychosis, and these medications are sent directly from hell to our world.
What many people don't realize is that some of the worst psychotic breaks you'll see on the news are from when people who are suffering from the chemical lobotomizing effects of these medications go off of them cold-turkey, they get their worst episodes of psychosis.
People with psychosis/schizophrenia need tons and tons and tons of rehabilitation, intensive and frequent therapy (CBTp), good nutrition/supplementation, tons of SLEEP, and to slowly be eased back into society. But of course, this is a very slow process and very expensive, so we don't do it.
We take a psychotic person, throw them into a white room, forcibly drug them with powerful mind-altering antipsychotics that their bodies quickly become absolutely dependent on (even one dose missed can equal an episode), and then dump them back on the streets.
It is incredibly short-sighted how America approaches mental health. This is currently costing the country billions, and it will reach trillions if something doesn't change in our lifetime.
Yes. This should be emphasized a lot more. In the push to legalize weed (which is good imho, I’m literally high right now) the message that it’s not as dangerous as alcohol or nicotine, may have overshadowed this fact. If you or anyone you know has schizophrenia they really need to know that they have to abstain from any psychedelics. Even a history of it in the family should be enough to make you stop
He will go on meds while locked up, he will get better, he’ll get released, he will then go off his meds, he will be homeless until he does something worth being hospitalized for.
Yeah, most of the money from his work probably went to his family members or the agency that represented him. I’ve heard some pretty awful things about talent agencies that represent child actors or performers. It’s a predatory industry
What is "interesting" is that even someone like him who had national audiences and whom we can reasonably assume made quite a lot of money as a child, could end up completely homeless with no support system at all. That's what's really "interesting" about the United States!
People vastly overestimate how much this tier of actors are making. He was not a main character on a wildly successful show with lots of merch and tie in events. He was a little above a background extra in a huge ensemble of kids.
Yeah people see the huge salaries that big stars and directors make and assume that everyone in entertainment is making bank. But even a lot of people who work on big shows really aren’t making that much money.
The money goes to the parents, and it sits in like a holding account until they turn of age. The parents can choose to spend it though. That's what honey boo boos mom did to her. She spent all of it. These parents just use these kids .
I would classify the fact that he was on declassified and your asking why this i s in interesting, the same question i had when i saw the sub. He was right to post this here because the context is indeed. Interesting.
Side note, family and friends have asked why i am so vocal about my hate of hollywood and american media and beyond the millions of other reasons at this point, because stuff like this surfaces and it messes my head up so bad for a few days at a time when it gets deep enough. This is thriving america in 2025. This is a son, a friend, a loved one. Drugs and the evil thats put on these poor people is just so heartbreaking. I hope if this starts a movement because its really popular right now, if it does i hope it doesnt get muddled down with this idea of a blame game. Just help the ones in need and leave it at that. Punishment for others involving these cases should be separated that way the focus stays strictly on the help. If there needs to be justice there should be but just seperate
This is a horrible thing to see, and worse yet, experience (on his end) it drives home that all unhoused adults were once children, and it’s sad that they are at rock bottom and suffering.
50% of unhoused people are foster care survivors. While they were still children they were told they were unwanted and grew up into a society that still didn’t want them.
I worked in a shelter with an education/ housing program . About half the people who came in for our services were kids who just got kicked out of their foster placements.
Jesus. Just when I thought our country couldn't be anymore dark. That's a level of depravity I hadn't even considered. Good lord there are some real serious systemic issues going on and we've all been complicit in its reproduction for all our lives; it's deeply depressing.
ESPECIALLY our foster/adoption centers. It’s often one of the most neglected institutions for many countries. System is abused to hell and back and probably one of the saddest failures most folks don’t talk/think about
What else is sad is when you look up statistics of what percentage of children in the US that are found right have been trafficked or used in sex trafficking had ties to the welfare and foster care system. It's 19 to like 86 percent, depending on the state and the studies. I'm sure with making abortion illegal and cutting funds to already depleted programs that are supposed to monitor and protect at risk children, those numbers will only go down surely. I mean, now that we've made America great again and all.
This is very common and well known by ex-foster youth but unfortunately not common knowledge among the general population. A good chunk of foster children's only birthday present when they turn 18 is homelessness. Some states have programs to prevent this that allow foster kids to remain in foster care until they're a bit older (usually 21) so that they can start being unhoused at an age society considers more acceptable to ignore.
As someone that has been in this situation I’m not sure what can be done. At 21 everyone was given opportunities for jobs, housing and at times paid for college. A fair bit left as soon as they were legally able 18-19 usually, and many had zero interest in any jobs or actual solutions. We have discord groups, but it’s still very difficult for many and no idea what could be done to change it.
I believe that someday in the future we will look back in horror at the foster system in the United States and hang our heads and shame for what we have done to those children.
Ive known several kids that were in foster care and some foster parents. There are some that are in it strictly for the money they get from the government. Some truly are trying to give the children a stable life.
Yeah and that’s the problem with foster care. They aren’t enough people who truly want to help kids. Or they did once upon a time, had a few bad experiences and burned out and become bad. If you offer more money you’ll just wind up with more people doing it for the money.
And sometimes the family are great to some demographics of kids, and awful to others. One foster family I knew treated the white kids like family who didn’t have to do anything, but forced the native kids to work and hand over most of their money so the family could afford their vacation home that was just for the parents and bio kids. And as is still sadly common here, they usually change the native kids’ names to “whiter” ones. Racism and cultural erasure can be still be that embedded in a system in 2025
It can't happen soon enough. Foster care family court is the only legal process in America where the standard procedure is having the one party all sides agree is innocent be the one(s) who are punished. But ruining one child's life or one group of siblings' lives isn't enough. 50% of foster care survivors with kids end up having their children kidnapped and put into foster care as well. It's a real life generational curse. When you accept the fact that your life will always be terrible (because foster care survivors have worse life outcomes in virtually every metric from education and employment to crime victimization and housing as well as everything in between) you cannot find solace in even the hope that your children or grandchildren will have a better life. You and your descendants are condemned eternally due to your unforgivable crime of being an abused child.
My sister is homeless; likely has mental health issues and is addicted to meth. I’m fostering her almost 1 year old. It’s been eye-opening seeing how awful the foster care system is. And it’s heartbreaking knowing this statistic. I really hope this doesn’t happen to him.
Money he earned but didn't receive still could've determined his life path. It's one thing if he spent it all himself, but if the parents are involved, it matters exponentially more. Either way, sad to see someone like this.
"In a now-deleted set of posts, Wilson shared that Chase's mother explained to her via direct message, "Tyler needs medical attention, not money. But he refuses it. I appreciate your effort. But money would not be a benefit to him. I have gotten him several phones, but he loses them within a day or two. He can't manage money for his meds by himself.""
Also with Coogan laws, he would have gotten at least 15% locked away in a trust his parents couldn't have touched, most likely with compounding interest.
According to the internet, his mom contacted the person who set up the gofundme and told her that he needs medical intervention that he refuses and that money won't help and the gofundme was taken down.
I dont know what to think other than being incredible sad for him and that I hope he receives the help he deserves.
Edit: Because I see a lot of discussion in the comments below mine: The internet also said that she had given him multiple phones and material support only for him to lose it all shortly after.
I'm a gardener by trade so I won't pretend to know what is best or who is doing their best but I truly hope he gets help and, because I'm just a gardener, I am not sure if they can force him to get help.
Which people will try to self medicate with drugs.
I had a geriatric patient that the family described as switching between cocaine and alcohol abuse. Which is just such a clear indication of bipolar disorder
Kind of both. The switching is because they are trying to medicate each end of that spectrum. When they're massively down, they use the coke to pull them up. When they're manic, they use alcohol to level out.
The really, really bad part about this is: It works. At least, it works for a while until it very, very much does not. That's the big reason self-medication is dangerous. You become addicted and dependent, because your "medicine" makes you better for a second.
Yes and no, those are the two "danger substances" for bi-polar as they heighten your highs and lower your lows; it's playing a dangerous game already. Beyond that bi-polar usually comes with susceptibility to addiction; making it a really, really dangerous loop.
I've known people with bipolar who have done the same. Their complaint is that the medication makes them feel nothing.
"Does it make you feel bad?" I ask.
"No. I doesn't make me feel bad.... It doesn't make me feel good either. It just doesn't feel like anything." they say.
"So why don't you just take it?" - they just repeat what they said about feeling nothing as if that's a bad thing.
It makes me suspect that people who are Bipolar are so used to the highs and lows they get almost a sort of high from it. So when they're not subject to those highs and lows anymore they equivicate that to feeling "nothing" which most of us would just call basically feeling normal. I don't have Bipolar so I feel nothing most of my boring day and I'm a-ok with that. Most people are.
The other possibility is that they are simply poorly describing what they are feeling. People who are not bipolar for the most part don't see a problem with feeling nothing. Feeling nothing is normal day to day life. Occasionally something great happens and you feel fantastic and occasionally something bad happens and you feel awful... but most days it's just going with the flow and not feeling anything in particular.
Im borderline and you're absolutely right. Imagine the emptiness of feeling nothing after getting out of an all-life rollercoaster. It's fucking scary as fuck.
the sad thing is that a lot of those who refuse to take the prescribed medicine tend to think of it like it is taking away who they are or feel like it makes things worse. I have a brother with ADHD who refuses meds because he hates how it makes him feel. I have my own set of issues but I take my meds because if I don't I will spiral into anxiety and depression and can't get out of my own ADHD headspace enough to even eat. It's like a lose lose situation for people who have conditions that require meds, need it to function, hate it because many of your quirks are from your conditions and you feel like they make you, well you. As well as how some really hate the side effects and think the conditions are better than the medicines side effects. not saying this is what this guy is going through exactly but it is a possibility.
As someone also with ADHD, the right meds don't change your personality or how you feel, they just make things easier. I think most people don't know that (including people who have never taken meds before), and don't know there are so many options out there today that also include non-stims.
That and also allowing time for your body to get used to it. Things like taking it consistently at the same time everyday or journaling even what you eat and drink to track what’s going on. Stopping drugs like this and then trying to start over or switch it suddenly will start your corrective process all over again. Or even mess with the cycle your body already has.
I used to work at the Taco Bell across from the coliseum in Oakland. We were constantly held at gun point and my managers were assaulted several times by Raiders fans…. 0/10 would not recommend
That'll do it to you. I heard once they built allegiant stadium in Las Vegas for the raiders. That homelessness increased 10,000% because of all the new raiders fans.
I hope there was only 1 homeless guy there before because I can’t imagine any more than 10,000 raiders fans freely roaming and living on the streets all in one place.
It’s a video of him intoxicated outside of a liquor store, and it ends with a gofundme asking for money to help him get on his feet. This isn’t for popularity, it’s to show people what they’re paying for.
Too be honest, I’m kind of glad she filmed him. If she never did this then we would have never known about this situation. This story has been taking social media by storm and I hope this can lead to some meaningful changes for his life.
However, I still hope that she got permission from him before filming
I hope that if people happen to see this man on the street, they will treat him (and others suffering similar situations) with the dignity of a human being.
He has mental health issues and is refusing to take his medication. There is nothing that can be achieved from this. It's not like he is lacking money or anything.
I don’t understand how memes and captions are almost always grammatically incorrect. Like on this one. “Formal” child star? Do you mean former child star? You have seven words to get right, yet you still fail.
I would have guessed.. yep definitely abusive unless a downright militant agent/manager is shielding them from all the worst of it. Even then, fame would be an insane thing to grow up with. I barely survived being anonymous
This lady is genuinely kind. Tyler's mother contacted her and explained that he's unable to manage money in his state. The creator turned the funds over to his mother and was very transparent in follow-up content about Tyler's situation.
Help is on the way!
Supposedly Tyler Chase has been located and has been talking to his friends and family about accepting help. Let’s show this man some moral support! ❤️

Additional info: The Tyler Chase story happened back around September, so this vid isn’t new. He knows and has been participating in vids when people have run into him IRL. He’s not being shamed.
That’s so sad.
Yea idk why this was posted in a "Interesting" subreddit
Just because it's sad doesn't mean it isn't interesting
Right? Why can't it be both?
It’s because it’s a major subreddit, so there are no standards for what gets posted
Really. Poor guy. Leave him alone
How about DON'T leave him alone lol.
We should get him some help instead.
Addicts need to want the help. Doesn’t help much if you impose it on them.
You don’t know if it’s addiction, according to his family he has bipolar disorder, this could be more mental health crisis
He's a child star.. seems like they have a higher incident of sexual abuse too, which is a perfect catalyst for mind breaking. We should seriously fund mental health. No matter what the cause.
I believe that any child star develops anxiety from the environment that they are placed in. Their parents rely on them for income, and push them. So do agents, and managers. Then they have problems becoming a real person because they are always playing other characters, and they are always 'acting' to either the press, or anyone in the outside world who expects them to be something in particular, or someone that they are supposed to be. Then they are always reading about themselves in the media, for absolutely everything that they do: going to the store, going to the park, having a girl or boyfriend.... Life is a goldfish bowl. What is the escape? Medication. Who gives it? Parents, agents, managers...actors producers, dealers...But you are an actor, so you can hide your dependency, until, you can't, and then...you are no longer an asset. So you become a dude on the street.
The same thing has happened to numerous child actors for close to a hundred years now. Do you remember Judy Garland? Elizabeth Taylor? They weren't sexually abused, just used up by an industry that doesn't care and caters to fame.
Er... Judy Garland was basically passed around by MGM as an object, and MGM owned Taylor's entire life, including determining who she could date.
Same with Shirley Temple and the other young chikdren from Baby Burlesque series ☹️
Unlike many other professions, people in the film/movie industry do not to pass a CORI check or background check before working with children. Casting directors often have an attitude of 'once you're older than 7 you need to be representing yourself and not always have mom or dad with you" And "dont worry, its a cast party so parents dont need to be present" because its normal for adults and children to party together /s
Figures an Adams fan would have the most based take on any matter.
Letting people just fester in the streets doesnt seem like a great moral or societal choice either.
Edit: "You do realize you are advocating for the state to have the ability to force treatment against ones will right?"
Yep.
Because letting people wander the streets in diseased conditions, being preyed on by drug pushers, tent cities literally clogged with filth, std coated needles, and littered with garbage going into storm drains, yeah.
No one said it's a good choice. Doing absolutely nothing and calling it good is mind boggling.
I agree. The heroin, meth and cocaine addicts who end up on the streets do need society to step in. Incarceration and a permanent record is not the way, but forcing them into 2 year rehabs strikes me as more ethical than leaving them to die in agony in a meth hole.
I don't think you all realize just how much work and money that would cost. These people need more than just rehab. Rehab stops when they walk out the door. They need support basically 24/7 after if the rehabilitation is going to be effective.
Maybe move a little money away from the prison industrial complex?
The money/labor you're referring to exists, it's just being used in all the wrong places.
Real shit people don't want to hear but should. Well said🤝
And his family shut down efforts on Go Fund me, saying "he needs medical care, not money", but like how exactly does she think that medical care would be paid for? Sure, don't hand the dude a check and let him go, but???
Apparently, the family has money and has supported him in multiple rehabs and sober living homes. He just keeps leaving. The medical care they’re referring to I believe is medication for a comorbid psychological disorder with his addiction.
Probably because they have the money to help him. He needs to take the help tho.
they mean don't film the poor guy
Why would you want to leave him alone. These videos are bringing awareness to his situation and could potentially help him.
Right? A gofundme for him would blow up like crazy if this clip went viral
There was a gofundme that raised over $1000. His family had it taken down. They said money won’t help his situation, he needs medical/psychological help. Sad situation
Medical/psychological help costs...money. Lots of money.
He has to want to get that help first. His mom asked to stop donations bc he refuses medical intervention. She knows the money will just go to drugs
Giving me more access to drugs when my bipolar was at its worst would have likely killed me tbh
His parents have money. The guy has drugs/psychological issues. Giving him a lot of money would just kill him.
A gofundme would kill him actually
She did a Go Fund Me for him, but his mom reached out to her and asked her to delete it.
100%
What do you think he's going to do with the money. He's a homeless, rock bottom drug addict from the look of his twitchie demeanor. If he gets that money next week we will be seeing posts on Reddit saying rip, after he's found on the side of the street next month, overdosed by the meth this fundraiser basically supplied him with. People will only get help if they want it. Good luck trying to convince him to get said help
The article specifically states that a GoFundMe was started, but his mother canceled it, stating access to money is not what he needs.
Yeah, it looks like there is already one set-up based on the last frame of the video too. This is the definitely the type of thing we should be taking advantage of the mob-mentality of social media for. Everything else that comes from social media is a huge net negative, so might as well do some good with it when the opportunity arises.
Leaving him alone is part of the problem. Everyone need help, including this guy.
What if they/he don’t want it
It's very sad because he seems proud yet to look at him you know the man is in need of some serious help.
His mother has allegedly stated that Taylor (Tylor) Chase has schizophrenia and requires medical treatment, which he is reportedly refusing. She emphasized that he does not need money, and asked influencers and fans to stop raising funds or giving him free marijuana, because it can trigger psychotic episodes or worsen his mental health. He can’t manage money or keep track of his phone. She’s given him multiple phones but he loses them.
People don’t get how devastating disorders like this can be. They just creep up on someone and take every single thing from their life, all while they often refuse to acknowledge what is actually going on, they are incapable of seeing it.
Glad his parents know his condition... but damn they need to put him in a psych ward (a good one). I don't know if they've tried, got him released, and he stopped his medications (because of side-effects)... got in trouble/schizo-loop again (seen a lot of patients like this).
At some point... if the schizophrenia is too heavy, there's almost nothing you can do and it's horrible to witness especially for parents. Not like the movies... with milds like Josh Nash/a beautiful mind.
Ok this needs to be said. Lots of people think it's easy to put these people in a psych ward for help but it's simply not that easy. I'm sure his parents have done all they can. Ultimately in North America at least, the affected person has to give consent and want to get help, which most times they will deny ever having a problem to begin with. Same thing with drug users or alcoholics. If they themselves don't consent to getting help, the parents can't do anything because over here you can't force them to attend.
I have a family friend who's son recently died of schizophrenia, much older than Tylor Chase is. His primary caregivers died. He should also be in a place for help, but didn't want to get admitted because he can't admit he has a problem...got diabetes, got blind in both eyes, got gangrene...Ultimately died. Tough to help people with Schizophrenia or those who can't admit or see they have a real problem. Truly terrible affliction to have. Not many real places to help around. Not only does the person suffer, their family suffers too. Sad sad stuff.
I was in a psych ward twice at two different locations and there were people at both in for “long term care” who just got shuffled from short term facility to short term facility. We do have a new facility nearby now with wings for children, adults, and the elderly, but it doesn’t meet the massive need.
One way you can override the need for patient's consent is to file a petition for involuntary mental health treatment. I think the determining factor is that the patient has to be considered to be a danger to themselves or others.
Taking away someone’s autonomy isn’t something to be taken lightly. It’s a very grey area.
It can cause a lot of resentment from the person you are "helping" too. Which is counter productive.
When I was 17 I was forcibly put into treatment for anorexia and it literally saved my life and I am very aware of that…
But despite knowing it saved my life I have never been able to forgive my parents entirely even though I want to. Every time I see them I just remember begging them not to leave me while being held down by paramedics(which was fair, I was attached to ivs lol). I remember being isolated because it was separated by age and I was the only 16-17 year old all the other girls were 18+ or 15 and lower so I wasn’t allowed to talk to anyone but the staff
And they’ll only do that if the person is completely mentally incoherent or if they commit a crime.
It’s trash but it is what it is.
People act like helping people in this desperate of a situation is the as simple as catching and releasing a stray cat. Grab em, fix em, let em go… if only it were that easy
Well, those are temp facilities.
We got rid of those inhumane “insane asylums” in the 70s. And replaced them with…nothing.
I have a ex-brother-in-law with paranoid schizophrenia. He goes off his meds, spirals, gets treated, goes to an assisted living facility, does well, is transitioned to living on his own after a year, and the whole cycle repeats. If he had access to full time assisted living, he’d do phenomenally well. But those don’t exist.
Welllllllll see they do exist, for the extremely wealthy
Us poors just get to suffer
Not arguing, just wondering, do those really exist in America? I know theres assisted livings for those with extreme autism and down syndrome, but I've never heard of long term facilities for people with conditions like schizophrenia
Assisted livings exist and they're every where, you likely just mistake them for nursing homes when you see them. The issue is that people don't have the money for it and the facilities are understaffed. I know because I used to work in one.
Outside of the elderly, we had a resident with an intellectual disability, a 40 year old with alcohol induced dementia, and multiple schizophrenic residents. A single studio room at the place I worked at started at 4,000$ a month, so typically only Medicare for the elderly covers it.

Hopefully Reagan is rotting in a hell like the one this guy is living in.
the only way to get in a full time mental health place is to commit a crime and be taken into a state mental health asylum (many of which are underfunded and takes forever to get an open bed). i watched a couple people finally leave the last rehab i was in after they were there for like almost 2 yrs when a bed at a florida ste mental hospital open up. but beyond that you would have to have tons of money and basically get them into some sort of old folks home, which sounds like hell for someone who becomes properly medicated and is 30 to be stuck around 80 yr olds for the rest of your life.
Actually we replaced them with more prisons
Unless he is an immediate threat to himself or others, their is next to nothing that can be done long term. As I have heard a DR say "it's not illegal to think different" even though what they think is objectively false and even though they are not an immediate threat to themselves they are a threat to their own well being by becoming homeless and then having to deal with what comes with that.
The US has no long term mental health system, and it's a shame.
I watched this happen to a guy. Id known him for like a year before we started dating. In the beginning, I noticed his eyes were always shaky - idk if thats related, but it was something weird I picked up on, and he would get only fixated on things like group chats he wasnt part of or parties he wasnt invited to, or celebrities whos popularity he didnt understand - like ariana grande. Eventually, for unrelated reasons, it became clear he didnt really like me (calling me fat, dumb, etc.) so I broke up with him, expecting us to just go our separate ways. Every day he would ask to hang out. In the beginning, id throw him some bones, but over time it was just weird how much he wanted to hang out so I started coming up with excuses - this is when I really noticed something was wrong and it wasnt just a quirk. He started calling the people I said I was out with, checking to see if my car was I the parking lot, coming over and waiting outside my door, sitting in the lobby of buildings he thought I may have classes in. One night he sat outside my door for hours, and when I left thinking he'd gone, he pushed me back into the apartment and tried to come in and wouldnt leave until I decked him. I called the cops and that was the last time I saw him. His friends said he still talked about me all the time and that he was fixated on the fact that I'd broken up with him even though he was "better." I moved back home across the country and he followed but never reached out. He ended up getting fired because he thought the work he was doing was going to enable him to start a colony on the moon and he thought he was meant to repopulate it with Ariana grande. He wrote her dozens of letters and decoded every post on her Instagram to determine she was truly in love with him - he put the whole thing here on reddit. Then he stopped posting anywhere online. I googled him, because I was used to seeing his crazy posts, and it turns out he was arrested for planning to commit a mass shooting at an elementary school. Idk how serious his planning could have been, given his mental state, but it was wild to stop and look back at the slow descent. Obviously, I dont know the details of how the people in his life reacted to him after I called the cops, but to me they just seemed to chalk it up to a bad break up. No one really seemed that concerned that he was hung up on me almost longer than we dated and to a concerning degree. I doubt based on the way they talked about it and kept reaching out to me on his behalf that they pushed him to get help before he moved. I can't believe no one in his life stopped him from doing that.
He needs to be hospitalized. Which is a very difficult thing to do in this country.
Its a difficult thing to do in any country especially when they refuse treatment. Add on the socail stigma attached to mental illness that persists in developed countries, even more so in America, and it is a continuously shit system all round.
Hard to blame them when their meds strip them of any good feeling. They're stuck between psychosis, being unable to care for themselves, and meds that turn them into incredibly depressed zombies with a tremor. It really sucks to watch someone go through it, can only imagine how much suffering they go through in their lifetime. Wouldn't wish that illness on my worst enemy.
Yes, so much this. So many of the folks I work with are so intelligent but the meds that keep them from psychosis kill their cognitive abilities as well as creativity, and numb them out.
I wouldn't want to be on medication either.
This is what the general public doesn't understand about these medications. I know multiple people suffering from schizophrenia in my life and personally take care of someone who suffers from psychosis, and these medications are sent directly from hell to our world.
What many people don't realize is that some of the worst psychotic breaks you'll see on the news are from when people who are suffering from the chemical lobotomizing effects of these medications go off of them cold-turkey, they get their worst episodes of psychosis.
People with psychosis/schizophrenia need tons and tons and tons of rehabilitation, intensive and frequent therapy (CBTp), good nutrition/supplementation, tons of SLEEP, and to slowly be eased back into society. But of course, this is a very slow process and very expensive, so we don't do it.
We take a psychotic person, throw them into a white room, forcibly drug them with powerful mind-altering antipsychotics that their bodies quickly become absolutely dependent on (even one dose missed can equal an episode), and then dump them back on the streets.
It is incredibly short-sighted how America approaches mental health. This is currently costing the country billions, and it will reach trillions if something doesn't change in our lifetime.
Wow i feel for the mom. She must feel so hopeless
who keeps giving him marijuana. Drugs are the last things he needs.
Le tiktokters (since he goes viral, they track Chase down), random L.A. strangers probably
ESPECIALLY with schizophrenia! It’s a known trigger! No pot and no psychedelics, ever.
I have a friend with schizophrenia who took mushrooms in college and the Oakland PD found him naked attempting to run up an on-ramp onto the highway.
Yes. This should be emphasized a lot more. In the push to legalize weed (which is good imho, I’m literally high right now) the message that it’s not as dangerous as alcohol or nicotine, may have overshadowed this fact. If you or anyone you know has schizophrenia they really need to know that they have to abstain from any psychedelics. Even a history of it in the family should be enough to make you stop
In my state, you can get people who are clearly a danger to themselves committed against their will.
He will go on meds while locked up, he will get better, he’ll get released, he will then go off his meds, he will be homeless until he does something worth being hospitalized for.

I think we’ve all definitively learned at this point that being a child star on Nickelodeon is pretty damn far from being a “kid who has it all”.
Yeah, most of the money from his work probably went to his family members or the agency that represented him. I’ve heard some pretty awful things about talent agencies that represent child actors or performers. It’s a predatory industry
Predatory in more than one way, from what I hear.
Ya there is a damn good reason so many child actors turn into drug addicts, and Hollywood keeps covering it up.
you do NOT want to get your foot in the door, at Nickelodeon
Just shows dude was probably abused, or went through some shit.
What is "interesting" is that even someone like him who had national audiences and whom we can reasonably assume made quite a lot of money as a child, could end up completely homeless with no support system at all. That's what's really "interesting" about the United States!
People vastly overestimate how much this tier of actors are making. He was not a main character on a wildly successful show with lots of merch and tie in events. He was a little above a background extra in a huge ensemble of kids.
Yeah people see the huge salaries that big stars and directors make and assume that everyone in entertainment is making bank. But even a lot of people who work on big shows really aren’t making that much money.
Plus purchasing treatment be it for anything is expensive in America, few can afford such services.
The money goes to the parents, and it sits in like a holding account until they turn of age. The parents can choose to spend it though. That's what honey boo boos mom did to her. She spent all of it. These parents just use these kids .
What she did wasn't against the Coogan law but she did take almost all of it and that betrayal itself has got to be the most painful
America is either very rich or very poor/sleeping rough.
I would classify the fact that he was on declassified and your asking why this i s in interesting, the same question i had when i saw the sub. He was right to post this here because the context is indeed. Interesting.
Side note, family and friends have asked why i am so vocal about my hate of hollywood and american media and beyond the millions of other reasons at this point, because stuff like this surfaces and it messes my head up so bad for a few days at a time when it gets deep enough. This is thriving america in 2025. This is a son, a friend, a loved one. Drugs and the evil thats put on these poor people is just so heartbreaking. I hope if this starts a movement because its really popular right now, if it does i hope it doesnt get muddled down with this idea of a blame game. Just help the ones in need and leave it at that. Punishment for others involving these cases should be separated that way the focus stays strictly on the help. If there needs to be justice there should be but just seperate
Sponge from Salute your shorts didn’t fare so well either.
Fare.
This is a horrible thing to see, and worse yet, experience (on his end) it drives home that all unhoused adults were once children, and it’s sad that they are at rock bottom and suffering.
50% of unhoused people are foster care survivors. While they were still children they were told they were unwanted and grew up into a society that still didn’t want them.
Source: "Nationwide, 50% of the homeless population spent time in foster care." Courtesy of the National Foster Youth Institute
I worked in a shelter with an education/ housing program . About half the people who came in for our services were kids who just got kicked out of their foster placements.
Jesus. Just when I thought our country couldn't be anymore dark. That's a level of depravity I hadn't even considered. Good lord there are some real serious systemic issues going on and we've all been complicit in its reproduction for all our lives; it's deeply depressing.
ESPECIALLY our foster/adoption centers. It’s often one of the most neglected institutions for many countries. System is abused to hell and back and probably one of the saddest failures most folks don’t talk/think about
As long as we let politicians continue to get away with scamming the public while collecting their paychecks, this will continue.
What else is sad is when you look up statistics of what percentage of children in the US that are found right have been trafficked or used in sex trafficking had ties to the welfare and foster care system. It's 19 to like 86 percent, depending on the state and the studies. I'm sure with making abortion illegal and cutting funds to already depleted programs that are supposed to monitor and protect at risk children, those numbers will only go down surely. I mean, now that we've made America great again and all.
If it helps, I’m in Ireland and was also in homeless shelters after 16 and leaving care lol
This is very common and well known by ex-foster youth but unfortunately not common knowledge among the general population. A good chunk of foster children's only birthday present when they turn 18 is homelessness. Some states have programs to prevent this that allow foster kids to remain in foster care until they're a bit older (usually 21) so that they can start being unhoused at an age society considers more acceptable to ignore.
As someone that has been in this situation I’m not sure what can be done. At 21 everyone was given opportunities for jobs, housing and at times paid for college. A fair bit left as soon as they were legally able 18-19 usually, and many had zero interest in any jobs or actual solutions. We have discord groups, but it’s still very difficult for many and no idea what could be done to change it.
Wow it seems like we need to tackle this root issue but the question is how
I believe that someday in the future we will look back in horror at the foster system in the United States and hang our heads and shame for what we have done to those children.
Ive known several kids that were in foster care and some foster parents. There are some that are in it strictly for the money they get from the government. Some truly are trying to give the children a stable life.
Yeah and that’s the problem with foster care. They aren’t enough people who truly want to help kids. Or they did once upon a time, had a few bad experiences and burned out and become bad. If you offer more money you’ll just wind up with more people doing it for the money.
And sometimes the family are great to some demographics of kids, and awful to others. One foster family I knew treated the white kids like family who didn’t have to do anything, but forced the native kids to work and hand over most of their money so the family could afford their vacation home that was just for the parents and bio kids. And as is still sadly common here, they usually change the native kids’ names to “whiter” ones. Racism and cultural erasure can be still be that embedded in a system in 2025
It can't happen soon enough. Foster care family court is the only legal process in America where the standard procedure is having the one party all sides agree is innocent be the one(s) who are punished. But ruining one child's life or one group of siblings' lives isn't enough. 50% of foster care survivors with kids end up having their children kidnapped and put into foster care as well. It's a real life generational curse. When you accept the fact that your life will always be terrible (because foster care survivors have worse life outcomes in virtually every metric from education and employment to crime victimization and housing as well as everything in between) you cannot find solace in even the hope that your children or grandchildren will have a better life. You and your descendants are condemned eternally due to your unforgivable crime of being an abused child.
do you have sources for that? not doubting you i just want to learn more. kind of eye opening if it is 50%
I have two: one from Foster Focus and another from the National Foster Youth Institute.
My sister is homeless; likely has mental health issues and is addicted to meth. I’m fostering her almost 1 year old. It’s been eye-opening seeing how awful the foster care system is. And it’s heartbreaking knowing this statistic. I really hope this doesn’t happen to him.
This is why pro life is just pro birth. They don't give a fuck what happens after that kid is born.
That would seem to be huge evidence that the current system is not fit for purpose, or even close to it
Can we just say homeless?
yeah seriously i feel like “unhoused” takes all the humanity out of it and sounds overly clinical.
they don’t have a place to call home, and that’s really sad

Hollywood used him up and tossed him aside.
Does it even suprise you ?
Reddit soapbox comment
Yeah apparently he has schizophrenia. Don't know what the fuck Hollywood was supposed to do to prevent his mental disorder from existing.
Hollywood should have developed a cure for schizophrenia when they signed him
Redditors and their bullshit goody two shoes comments. What was “Hollywood “ supposed to do
they probably paid him a lot of money and his parents used him and fucked him over
Or maybe none of that’s true and you’re assuming things based on nothing?
Unreal number of upvotes to comment above you for such speculative BS.
It's actually shocking how much upvoted content on Reddit is completely made the fuck up.
Why are you making baseless assumptions? You guys okay?
I doubt it. He wasn’t even the main character.
Child star money is child star money. Doesn't matter if he was the main character, side characters can have shitty parents too.
It absolutely matters. Tyler Chase appeared in 33 episodes. In 2004 the minimum pay for a side actor would have been 825$ per episode.
That means, Tyler could have netted as little as 27,225$ for his appearances on that show.
I wouldn't call that child star money.
You forgot taxes, agent fee, screen quilders union fee, etc. His take home was likely more like $1,105.76.... annually.
Money he earned but didn't receive still could've determined his life path. It's one thing if he spent it all himself, but if the parents are involved, it matters exponentially more. Either way, sad to see someone like this.
He's very ill.
"In a now-deleted set of posts, Wilson shared that Chase's mother explained to her via direct message, "Tyler needs medical attention, not money. But he refuses it. I appreciate your effort. But money would not be a benefit to him. I have gotten him several phones, but he loses them within a day or two. He can't manage money for his meds by himself.""
https://ew.com/mighty-ducks-star-offers-help-homeless-former-nickelodeon-actor-11874728
Also with Coogan laws, he would have gotten at least 15% locked away in a trust his parents couldn't have touched, most likely with compounding interest.
27k is not a lot of money. That isn’t even a years worth of rent in most places.
Pretty sure previous poster was talking about the pay. I agree see what you’re saying tho.
he’s actually had several gofundmes set up for him, to which his mom says not to donate to. she says he won’t take his meds or the help they offer.
No, his mom said he is bipolar but he doesn't want to be medicated. There is no easy answer here.
Her voice is so condescending
She set up a Gofundme for him. I hope the money really goes to him.
According to the internet, his mom contacted the person who set up the gofundme and told her that he needs medical intervention that he refuses and that money won't help and the gofundme was taken down.
I dont know what to think other than being incredible sad for him and that I hope he receives the help he deserves.
Edit: Because I see a lot of discussion in the comments below mine: The internet also said that she had given him multiple phones and material support only for him to lose it all shortly after.
I'm a gardener by trade so I won't pretend to know what is best or who is doing their best but I truly hope he gets help and, because I'm just a gardener, I am not sure if they can force him to get help.
That’s just what people from Los Angeles sound like unfortunately. Kind of like smell your own farts humble brag personality.
Human brains are weird cause I hear literally zero condescension in her voice.
Mods have pinned a comment by u/NoDoOversInLife:
[What is Spotlight?](https://developers.reddit.com/apps/spotlight-app)
Drugs? Or bad luck? Or both?
Wikipedia says bipolar depression.
Which people will try to self medicate with drugs.
I had a geriatric patient that the family described as switching between cocaine and alcohol abuse. Which is just such a clear indication of bipolar disorder
Is it switching between substances or those two substances in particular that is a clear indication?
Kind of both. The switching is because they are trying to medicate each end of that spectrum. When they're massively down, they use the coke to pull them up. When they're manic, they use alcohol to level out.
The really, really bad part about this is: It works. At least, it works for a while until it very, very much does not. That's the big reason self-medication is dangerous. You become addicted and dependent, because your "medicine" makes you better for a second.
Yes and no, those are the two "danger substances" for bi-polar as they heighten your highs and lower your lows; it's playing a dangerous game already. Beyond that bi-polar usually comes with susceptibility to addiction; making it a really, really dangerous loop.
Poor lad!
His mom has also said that he has access to medication but refuses to take it
I've known people with bipolar who have done the same. Their complaint is that the medication makes them feel nothing.
"Does it make you feel bad?" I ask.
"No. I doesn't make me feel bad.... It doesn't make me feel good either. It just doesn't feel like anything." they say.
"So why don't you just take it?" - they just repeat what they said about feeling nothing as if that's a bad thing.
It makes me suspect that people who are Bipolar are so used to the highs and lows they get almost a sort of high from it. So when they're not subject to those highs and lows anymore they equivicate that to feeling "nothing" which most of us would just call basically feeling normal. I don't have Bipolar so I feel nothing most of my boring day and I'm a-ok with that. Most people are.
The other possibility is that they are simply poorly describing what they are feeling. People who are not bipolar for the most part don't see a problem with feeling nothing. Feeling nothing is normal day to day life. Occasionally something great happens and you feel fantastic and occasionally something bad happens and you feel awful... but most days it's just going with the flow and not feeling anything in particular.
Im borderline and you're absolutely right. Imagine the emptiness of feeling nothing after getting out of an all-life rollercoaster. It's fucking scary as fuck.
I mean feeling noting is almost worse than feeling bad. It’s like living life with no colors.
Sounds like the medication actually makes them depressed.
the sad thing is that a lot of those who refuse to take the prescribed medicine tend to think of it like it is taking away who they are or feel like it makes things worse. I have a brother with ADHD who refuses meds because he hates how it makes him feel. I have my own set of issues but I take my meds because if I don't I will spiral into anxiety and depression and can't get out of my own ADHD headspace enough to even eat. It's like a lose lose situation for people who have conditions that require meds, need it to function, hate it because many of your quirks are from your conditions and you feel like they make you, well you. As well as how some really hate the side effects and think the conditions are better than the medicines side effects. not saying this is what this guy is going through exactly but it is a possibility.
As someone also with ADHD, the right meds don't change your personality or how you feel, they just make things easier. I think most people don't know that (including people who have never taken meds before), and don't know there are so many options out there today that also include non-stims.
That and also allowing time for your body to get used to it. Things like taking it consistently at the same time everyday or journaling even what you eat and drink to track what’s going on. Stopping drugs like this and then trying to start over or switch it suddenly will start your corrective process all over again. Or even mess with the cycle your body already has.
Just a raiders fan.
I used to work at the Taco Bell across from the coliseum in Oakland. We were constantly held at gun point and my managers were assaulted several times by Raiders fans…. 0/10 would not recommend
That'll do it to you. I heard once they built allegiant stadium in Las Vegas for the raiders. That homelessness increased 10,000% because of all the new raiders fans.
I hope there was only 1 homeless guy there before because I can’t imagine any more than 10,000 raiders fans freely roaming and living on the streets all in one place.
He’s standing by a sign that says LIQUOR
Didn't see that
This is heart breaking!
Damn that’s sad. Shitty to video someone like this for your own popularity.
It’s a video of him intoxicated outside of a liquor store, and it ends with a gofundme asking for money to help him get on his feet. This isn’t for popularity, it’s to show people what they’re paying for.

He’s struggling with bipolar disorder according to his parents smh
The post is for click and views. Don't be ignorant.
Exactly…
At least get him some string to hold the pants up
Yeah, let's just film the person at their lowest and share it online for a clip. Lady is trashy.
Too be honest, I’m kind of glad she filmed him. If she never did this then we would have never known about this situation. This story has been taking social media by storm and I hope this can lead to some meaningful changes for his life.
However, I still hope that she got permission from him before filming
I hope that if people happen to see this man on the street, they will treat him (and others suffering similar situations) with the dignity of a human being.
He has mental health issues and is refusing to take his medication. There is nothing that can be achieved from this. It's not like he is lacking money or anything.
Dark industry
I don’t understand how memes and captions are almost always grammatically incorrect. Like on this one. “Formal” child star? Do you mean former child star? You have seven words to get right, yet you still fail.
Why are you exploiting his suffering?
Fame is a spotlight that rarely comes with a safety net.
Child stardom is not healthy. I'd say I'd borderline abusive.
I would have guessed.. yep definitely abusive unless a downright militant agent/manager is shielding them from all the worst of it. Even then, fame would be an insane thing to grow up with. I barely survived being anonymous
Way to film and mock him. Despicable!
Poor guy
OP, define 'interesting'
This lady is genuinely kind. Tyler's mother contacted her and explained that he's unable to manage money in his state. The creator turned the funds over to his mother and was very transparent in follow-up content about Tyler's situation.
Take a peek at all the kids who were on those Nicolodeon shows. Geeeeesh
Hollywood rips people apart!
The way his face lit up 😭
Former*
Drug or alcohol addiction 9.9 times out of 10. Hope he eventually realizes he needs help and is able to find the help he needs.
based as a response to trauma. Children in Hollywood yet again…
So sad and so common with child stars. Goes way back to the “perfect family” shows of the 50s and 60s!
Well, this is incredibly depressing.
Holy shit that's rough.
Was that his only big role?
Fuck this obnoxious woman
The video is quite literally for a go fund me start up.
