I have had my niece since she was 12 In kinship care, I am her legal guardian, she is turning 18 this year, her father was killed in a car accident when she was 7, then her mum just struggled with life after loosing her soulmate 😢 she eventually became addicted to drugs and dhs stepped in, there was no way our babies were going in to foster care, at the time we were going through an ivf program because my husband and I couldn’t have our own children but that all stopped when we got her, she was so traumatised she needed our full attention love and care so we gave up our chance to have our own children but it was worth it for her! She needed us! ❤❤❤ she’s doing so well now, and we are very proud of the person she is becoming 🥰🥰🥰
I’m an adoptive momma of 10 in the US. I want to clarify something. I’m not sure about the state of NY where Lush resides, but in my state, you CAN post your foster kiddos on socials. What you CANNOT do, is identify them as wards of the state unless you’ve adopted them. So Josh is hitting the nail on the head when he says she’s calculated. She has absolutely planned this around their adoptions and is using them for clout. If you pay attention she never referred to D and N as foster placements. They were kinship placements to avoid being entered as wards of the state. She found the loophole. I look for Lush to serve jail time in the next 10 years.
@@kat0726I couldn’t imagine purposely making my children feel the way she makes hers feel on a daily basis. Those children are never going to forgive her.
@@rebeccaradbourne5651 Those children are not her children until they’re adopted. She has no rights to them. Her only job was to care for them and she failed. There is no way she had them placed with her under a foster license. They would have been removed for breach of contract and failure to follow foster care protocol.
If she was a thrifty woman, she and her family should be living in a much better home with lots of room… on a horse ranch. But NO… so much money spent on junk n crap. Omg
Our adopted sibling was a sleepwalker and they were never tied down. Affective methods used, A *baby gate in their door* way to block/startle and Top of the *front door* locks
My son was a sleepwalker when he was little, he'd try to open the front door...my husband had to put a lock at the top of the front door so he couldn't unlock it...and a baby gate to block the kitchen Really no need to tie him down either... can't lie...I lost a lot of sleep during that time, but it all worked out
“I will not leave you, I will come to you” UNLESS you refuse to be filmed, then I don’t give a sh*t where you end up. Oh, and, YOU WILL leave the gifts I bought you for your Birthday and Christmas. I’d be willing to bet that N left that house exactly the way she came to it, with nothing. If that doesn’t convince people that every gift she gave N was purely for content, then nothing will. Lush is disgusting!
Can you imagine being a foster child and finding out you were coming into a new home , but when you get there, you are recorded for a youtube channel? This seems like it would be a traumatic moment where you would even need privacy from your new guardians? This seems just completely horrifying. I know for me, I never liked being recorded by my own parents, if I came into a home and they started recording me, it would be a nightmare.
It's so disgusting how she deleted N from everything in her life except the videos of her that she left online for clicks and money. Despite everything, N was part of the family. I couldn't delete or forget any of the children, or even make stupid tik toks against them.
Its disgusting how she just cut that poor child out of her life as though she never existed. So sad…N has been through enough, I’m sure, without this witch taunting her…SMH!!!!!
I think Josh speaks so much about this family because he knows some insane and disgusting insider information. I don’t think that he has enough concrete evidence to expose it. I hope what Josh knows will come to light. The bed constraints and the security that follows them is very suspicious, and probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Do u happen to know which video talks abt the bed restraints ? I'm sorry I missed that one ,I just started watching last week. It's so sad what she's doing for money & fame when she could just be a great mom & has plenty to take care of them without the excessive everything. Thanks.
@@kellynh9303I have been binging these uploads here and it is in a few videos Josh talks about it, but unfortunately I can’t tell you exactly which one but if you go through and watch this series on here you will find it. I am going to look through my history and see if I can find the title of one of the videos for you
This last week with the death of Garrison Brown, should make us all concerned about the family vloggers, and the reality shows that feature children. I’m sad that I ever watched or pretend that they were safe being filmed. God bless you Josh, your wading into territory that angels fear to tread. You keep being the warrior and we’ll be praying for your safety and integrity
Wow I just found your channel and learning about that mom blogger. Please keep doing this very important thing. Thank you!!!! God bless you I can tell you really do care 🙏❤️👍
This particular video needsa b re-uploaded every few months if not monthly, since Josh's channel is steadily growing n EVERYONE needsa see this, to b reminded of exactly who this woman is, & y she doesn't deserve ur social media currency, even for a hate watch r laugh. Never give this woman r ppl like her a view, just get ur laugh from this channel n support someone thats worthy of support😉💞
How callous do you have to be to take in an already traumatized child ,"lavish" material items on them but neglect what they most need ,security love and time with you.That`s how you bond Alicia not by throwing junk at a child/children! Then ,when said child is distressed enough to want to leave ,imply they were an issue (not yourself) ,and remove their name/photo from all family pictures etc.She is disgusting! I thank God for the wonderfully loving devoted parents who adopted myself ,and later on my brother.They gave us what was important ,as did all their extended families.Alicia needs investigating ,asap.
Josh- Oh Lordy It’s Jordy was just hit with a copyright strike from Alicia! He literally JUST started uploading about her and BOOM! she hits him with that strike! Every newer creator coming out speaking on her she is trying to stop in their tracks. The people who follow him directed him to reach out to you to maybe help him navigate this with her because he is worried! Please bump this comment so Josh sees it! ❤
I wonder why she always lied about going to church? She has done it in several videos. She will say she is going to church then be at Walmart doing grocery hauls at 10:30 am til 1pm. Weird. Why lie??
I saw that in her recent day in a life Sunday video. I called her out in the comments but I'm beginning to think she keeps up that sort of comment as people argue back. Some of the blunt comments I've left on her videos would have me kicked out.
She does it because she thinks that people to go to church are good, upstanding, productive members of society. She wants people to think that she is that. I am often endeared to other people that attend church because I know how much dedication it takes to drag yourself there every week even when you don't feel like it. She wants people to believe she is a good person basically, but we've all seen too much to the contary😂 and even the people she once fooled are starting to see it.
December's and she lied about donating cans to a food bank and bringing lunch to the fire station. She just wants to present herself as something she's not. She's full of crap.
.. I’m waiting for Lush to face some kind of charges for how she violated her kids and foster kids privacy and safety , I’m waiting for “N”s tell all … Lush and Josh’s divorce announcement and Josh’s tell all….
Same here and I get that chasing after a ton of kids will stress age you, because it has me as well.....but WOAH lady😂 She films those kids more than she parents them. If she would put the camera down and post 50% less than she does now, she could actually give those kids the time they deserve AND she could take a nap. AND she would still be posting 4 times a week! What a shameful life.
Yk what I think is the funniest & saddest part of all of this? In families like dough dozen & 8 passengers NONE of their kids have social media until they are over the age of 18. They are subjected to being on the internet their WHOLE lives yet they cannot have their own platform until they’re 18? For safety? Really? I think it’s because they don’t the time to make sure their kids aren’t exposing them.
I agree about TikTok - it needs to go. When it first came out I had someone close to me (high up in military) say DO NOT DOWNLOAD that ap. They couldn't share all the reasons why but I knew by the way it was expressed that it was really important to listen. And also to find out that in China it is not used as it is in America, crazy but not surprising. Thank you for sharing.
Let's not forget that our friend India burned signs with the tik Tok logo on it because they found out they were stealing Indian citizens information! 😤 our family said to themselves why isn't American doing that? Oh yeah because most of Americans that use social media are really dumb'
@@sleepymoo6130 I discovered it’s real close or maybe similar smell to Burberry. I know they have different ones, but it’s the light pink cap. If you haven’t tried it. I now need to buy a full bottle of D&G. I foresee me going through it quickly. lol Those two, are really good everyday scents.
It my just be my pregnancy hormones going nuts...but I'm crying for these kids. They never deserved this kind of treatment at all. With the very possible tying up of the kids, it reminds me of Ruby Franke and Jodi. Why the hell do this to innocent kids that have already gone through enough trauma?
I’m offended! Please don’t say that Alicia is from NY City! Please. She’s from UPSTATE NY!!! It’s a different world up there! She’s from the middle of nowhere. People from Upstate are strange! Please don’t offend us NY’ers. Alicia is an upstate NYer. Thanks Josh, love your channel!
Imagine being a teenager and being uprooted whether it was necessary or not, and the first house you go to, you’re trying to take in your surroundings and go through emotions just to have a camera in your face and being told to wave. Sick
She's probably absolutely terrified everyday about her deep dark secrets coming to light. Which is why she tries to come for you and anyone who exposes her! Her crash and burn is inevitable.
JOSH!! Fathering Autism’s YT got hacked and as a result, their entire channel is gone!! Now they’re starting a new channel and asking people to subscribe to it. PLZZZZ cover that!!
Apparently their RU-vid was hacked and sold, that's what Asa is saying anyway. They're still trying to get the account recovered because the videos haven't been deleted yet
Asa probably hacked it himself...or his sketchy son, and they will try and sue YT for lost revenue lmao. Or they are getting lots of haters contacting them and afraid people are downloading all their pathetic videos and they are going to come back to haunt them...child abuse. These people are disgusting and will stop at nothing to make a dollar. Poor Abby. Pricilla the pig in lipstick, she's no loving mother or she wouldn't allow her slob husband to record their child
Josh, please Alicia/Alushes Dougherty does not nor never has lived in NYC she's from Rochester area of New York State which is totally different. I'm a native of The Bronx, NY which is actually in NYC. Not saying people from the city aren't narcissistic, clueless like her. There's so much to do and learn in NYC than possibly in upstate New York. I went to Syracuse NY in 1971 OMG it's so country. Stayed a week and begged my dad to send for me. Was elated to be home and back to normalcy. Please, quit saying she's from NYC it's totally untrue. Thank you!!
I'm trying to find the best place to comment so you see this but there's a new family on RU-vid that NEEDS to be talked about. The dad or whatever he is "pranked" the kids that their mom was kidnapped and never coming back and that whoever took her was after them now. The poor little girl was crying and screaming that she didn't want to d!e. It was so sad. A short just popped up while I was scrolling and I went and checked out the video hoping it wasn't what it said it was but of course it was worse. Young Moo and Jez is the channel name and the video I'm talking about was posted yesterday. I have it downloaded if you need it. Please talk about this!
People all over the parenting pages I’m a member of keep advocating for life 360. I knew there was something not right about it. Now I know. Thank you. I’m lucky I’m not at the stage with my son to think of needing something like this but I don’t think I ever want to get it now
wow thank you for opening my eyes to this. I am so sorry I ever defended her. It's a shame what she is doing to those beautiful innocent children. I will admit I didn't like you at first cause I genuinely liked Alicia and her family I defended her...well I can see that you seem very nice and your funny and you tell the truth and I have respect for you,.
I haven't had tik tok in a year and I don't regret that decision at all. After seeing women posting their kids, showing borderline nudity, I was done. Disgusting.
My 8 year old wouldnt take a lunch box with her name on it! 😂 those HS kids would never take a lunch box with a comic sans name printed on it. What about the kiddo with "Gastroparesis"?? Thats a serious stomach dx. That poor kid must be so sick from that food...unless that is also untrue.
Can you also make a video about not enough nelsons new morning routine that was posted recently, there are ALOT of things in there that need to be covered.
The oldest video posted on RU-vid for the DD is so cringy, especially knowing what we know now. And there is some random teenage girl in it who was probably a foster…
Did you know that the Dougherty Dozen has a second channel on RU-vid called “Dougherty Dozen HQ” where they post never seen before content of them. It’s even worse than the main channel
I could be wrong but those children are under age ,,so how could the contract she signed be applied to the children once they are adults ,,she is a sociopath,,,🤢🤮🤬
Hi Josh just want to apologize for forgetting to thublmbs up this video when I watched it live... so now I am watching it again to give you another view and a thumbs up ... again sorry I forgot today...
@@sarahweld4533I've sometimes read comments on DD's videos, and have seen you leave supportive comments there and defend her here. After all you've come to know about the ongoing exploitation and other things she's done, I don't understand why you'd continue to support her. No matter how anyone tries to spin things to defend her, there's an abundance of evidence in her videos. It's bewildering how anyone can be aware of all this and continue to support her in any way. I truly hope you and others reconcile the situation.
Thought she was calculated when I watched her first easter basket video. How can each kid want the same thing? Big age difference and almost every bit is for a toddler.
It’s starting to give Franke vibes with the restraints! All the money this lady has and this is the house she has? I’m in from Scotland so I know property etc is a lot different here, but my image of American homes is that they are huge and lavish, especially if you have the funds (which she has). If she was really looking after those kids she’d buy a plot of land and build a house with a big kitchen, living room, games room ( with ONE of each console) , and plenty of bedrooms so the kids aren’t on top of each other. Where are the bikes, where are the garden toys, trampolines, garden houses? She really could have it all!
For starters you keep saying she lives in NYC but she def does not lol. She lives upstate New York, totally different … I know you’re from Canada so just wanna inform you 😂
Well, damn. I need to up my game and start making money off my dogs! They're freeloaders and could help pay for their home-cooked food and treats. Sadly, I have morals. lol.
I just found your channel. I have been watching the Dougherty Dozen for a few months now. Not so much because I like watching her exploit her children, but because it makes me angry. The crap she feeds them, the sugar, the processed foods, etc, makes me want to watch, just as you do. I was thinking the same things that you are saying. I will say that my mother, her dad, and her sister, all had the same thumbs, so, at first, it upset me that you make fun of her for that, BUT, I get why you do it. The way she goes about things, makes everything she does seem cringy. Her thumbs are so different than my mom’s. My mom was a petite dainty woman and her thumbs were endearing. She didn’t have the joints that were so big and odd. She passed away two and a half years ago and I miss her so much!! Anyway, my mom and I laughed so much when we were together. Honestly, I haven’t laughed so hard since she died, til I started watching you and the Dougherty dozen, so Thank you for that!!!!!
This is gonna sound snarky, but what does she do with all of her money because her house is not that great her car is not that high end I would just be curious what she does with all that money other than spending at the grocery store and throw it out 😁
I LOVE this! Call her out! She'll get what's coming and probably end up living in a van down by the river with her husband and chickens and those children will want nothing to do with her. I LOVE it!
