Terrible Adversary Hearing - Judge Mabray 

“Bear” seems to be a real winner. For Mr Tautfest to state he can’t afford his child yet has a child in his home is gross, go get a job dude and take care of your son before he gets sucked in to the foster care system. Also, I continue to be confused when these parents get upset or are confused why they have to pay support. They are YOUR children therefore YOU need to support them 🙄

These people are a HOT MESS. Those poor kids :(

PTSD disability - me and my wife. Yeah, okay.

I have never seen so many professional victims in my life. And I work in LE.

Not one of these parents puts the children first.

Oh good lord these parents! Lets hope the extended family can do right by the kids if possible. Could mom be anymore selfish either?? She's ridiculous

The one smoking didn’t even care that she was seen smoking or that the judge said something to her except she did look irritated. I don’t get people….they’re seen on Zoom while lying in bed…in the bathroom…in the shower…driving….eating. It’s ridiculous behavior….immature. And the way that guy with the one smoking is not dressed appropriately. I don’t know what’s wrong with this woman…she doesn’t have a clue. She’s full of excuses.

Very sad both of these children don’t seem to be the #1 priority for any of these parents…including Bear. I don’t understand how Mr Tautfest & his significant other care for a 2yo? Both, are too mentally & physically disabled to work, too broke to financially help support Mr Tautfests’ 1st child, & too lazy to be concerned about the child’s living conditions with bio mom.

Omg the dad Tautfest should be ashamed. He’s on disability and hasn’t paid anything for his child! It doesn’t look like he’s missed a meal but his child has…. He had another child so he can obviously take care of his first born. Both have PTSD. Scammers and can buy weed. WOW. If your son is sharing with you he’s not eating you should have stepped in. Disgraceful

She HAD a court appt atty! What I suspect is that the atty told her to get her shit together and she didn't like that. It's ur kids ma'am, do what the judge tells u to do!

“Both Dads” are pieces of 💩 for not protecting their children 😡 they both knew their children were being abused physical,mentally and emotionally!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Sickening just sickening

So he has money to have a home, another child, purchase marijuana, etc but not to care for his child whom he claims he fears for the safety of. What an actual trash bag of a “father.”

Mr. Tautfest could get welfare for his child. Sad he doesn't want him in his house. Edit: Mr. Tautfest didn't care enough about his child to look into the child's claim of food deprivation and overall neglect

Alexander should be getting Social Security benefits under his fathers disability. Who is getting that money is the child getting that money?

I'm so pleased that something like this informs law enforcement about a deeper problem of neglect. Everything happens for a reason. So glad they saved these two. ❤

Lol, Deputy Fain’s camera angle and light makes it look like a giant head on a cartoon body!😂 Also…classy bunch of bums those poor kids have as family. Thank you OnTropolis, cheers!❤️🇨🇦

Judge Judy would’ve asked Tautfest how disable could he be if he still making babies 😂

I’m sorry but PTSD??!!! Wtf?!! From what??!! I know people like my dad who worked since he was 12 years old who has debilitating arthritis who is having the hardest time getting okayed for Social Security disability and this clown and his girlfriend got it easy peasy. And he can’t bother to take care of his son yet he goes and has another child!! He sees his child come to visit with old tattered clothes and he couldn’t bother to take him to Walmart and get him a couple of pairs of jeans and shirts but he can travel to Washington to buy and smoke weed. Uuugh all of these so called parents are disgusting!!

4 grown adults should not buy any alcohol or weed until their child support is fully paid, their kids have a full fridge freezer and larder. Their kids are fully dressed in new clothing . And they don’t have money to do anything else while their child’s health or well being is at risk . I have ptsd and own 3 businesses and went and got two jobs when I got a big tax bill. Grow up you humans. These are your flesh and blood . And mum please get to and addiction program asap you need to be well for yourself. 😢just horrified that all four parents aren’t aware of how their kids have been doing fully. 😮

Uh so mr tautfest why didn’t you step in?!!!!? Way to parent! Oh you let your 13 y old wear your clothes give me a break. This poor boy😢

What is wrong with these people? Absolutely none of them are behaving like adults with children in thier care. Every one of them needs all kinds of counseling.

This is heartbreaking!

Another case of no good options. Let’s move on to door number 3.

😠 "Other than David paying child support I've always purchased everything for the kids." YES! That is your job, you are their Mother! "Me being ordered to pay child support is overwhelming, I just don't understand." Who should pay for your children if not their parents? Especially while other people are caring for them? How does this confuse you? "I've been the only one supporting both kids." Wrong, David has been sending child support, as you just said. "My phone is going to be shut off for nonpayment." If your children are no longer there to require food, clothing, utilities, gas to drive them around etc... yet you have no $$ it shows you gave them little to nothing to them when they were with you. Your b.s. dramatics have robbed enough from your children's lives.

I can't even imagine knowing that a child in my family, (grandson, nephew, niece, cousin, ect), was being mistreated & not stepping up and forcing the parents to either do better or make them give me the kids. I could never just sit by & watch kids suffering. I don't care what it took, those kids would be with me. 💔

Why are people allowed to smoke on these hearings?! That is just insane & disrespectful.

Why can’t people straighten up at least when children are involved? Why do they find it necessary to behave in such a manner? And it still goes if they’re are no kids involved….people can have arguments but it doesn’t have to escalate into this. Why do people feel the need to drink until they get to the point to where they act like this? Don’t put your kids through this.

Neither parent should have the kids. They have been growing up in a very toxic environment and deserve so much better. Mr. Tautfest said the son needed clothing so he gave him his hand me downs (they must of been way too big for the kid) WTF Go to a thrift store, good-will etc and get him clothes that fit if he needs them. I feel bad for the children I hope they find a home that can care for them and give them some stability in their young lives.

These “fathers” seem to be parents when it’s convenient to them. The one had the nerve to bash the mom saying how the son said she drinks too much and they don’t have food but yet he did nothing?! Used excuse of not having money to get an attorney but he could have called the cops and asked for a wellness check or called CPS. Now he has a two year old with another person and both get paid by the State. Awesome. Mandatory sterilization should be a thing…just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️

2 people with such bad PTSD that cannot work raising a baby…: terrifying

Is there a follow up to this? Poor kids. I think Bears daughter needs to be rescued too.

Smoking and sitting outside speaks volumes about who she is

Getting a birth certificate copy for either Texas, Oregon, Idaho, or Arizona is very easy. Either parent w/ID can walk in to any County clerk in the state get a copy within 15min. If out of state you can order online, mail, or over phone.

24:35 Burrows gives less than zero f*cks. Unbelievable.

Whoa mamma is a gem, in closing statement it's me, myself and I, nothing about the children and what she'll do to get them back.

The mother is more upset about having to pay child support. Then she has been about losing her kids and / or the fact that her kids want nothing to do with her. This is exactly why she loster kids. Selfish, selfish person. They all are. Every adult in these kids lives. These poor kids had no adult in their corner Until they were removed and put into placement. These kids not wanting anything to do with their mother right now say a whole lot about what must have been going on prior to removal. I've seen removal cases with kids where the parents were outright abusive, but the kids wanted their mom mom to visit or they wanted to go back. Home with their mom even though they were abused. So, for these kids. To want nothing to? Do. With hor really makes you wonder all that was going on in that house. The fact that the girl is uncomfortable around this bear character is very telling. I think maybe somebody needs to look into his daughter and make sure she's okay, especially because she's around the mother of the kids in this case all the time. So that means she's been subjected to this woman's abuse and neglect, most likely

Did she not hear, they don't want to talk to you!!!!

The Deputy is giving me 'Yellowstone' vibes.

Mom trying to hide the smoke. Ha! No decorum at all.

Those poor kids..all those ppl and they are terrible..not one of them are adult enough to care for those children..

Ms Cummings is a good attorney. Melissa, stop blaming CPS and take responsibility for your actions.

Psalm 91 is the all powerful Word of God my Father, Yahweh, giving us His decree of Love, protection, and His intervention on our behalf- in my covenant through the Blood of Yeshua, Christ Jesus, I send forth and declare Father God’s promises in Psalms 91 over all these children in CPS care, Amen. To God be all the Glory; my thanksgiving to the LORD for His Living Word that prospers where it is sent (Isaiah 55:17) PLEASE pray for all children in CPS

Talk about a loophole Too intoxicated to legally agree to taking a drug test.🙄

How do people get away with scamming social security by saying they have PTSD a disability

Jesus that dad is so dull. So first his lack of enthusiasm would be a non starter for me. Second as retired military I get really ticked off with all these slackers claiming PTSD when they havent served. Its very rare for someone to have PTSD without serving in war but they all want to claim the same. Further the last thing he needs is to smoke marijana - he is already so slow he's almost going in reverse. Give the child to bright interested individuals.

These parents scare me so apathetic

1:05:27 Bear the slob kindly stood holding a towel and some papers in front of his waist for his court appearance. He is wholly inappropriate and I am not surprised that the kids do not want to be around him.

A mother being told to pay child support freaks out about having to pay child support………Imagine that. 🙄🤦‍♀️

I have PTSD and that is not what has ever stopped me from working smh now when the Dr looks at you and tells you you cannot pick up more than 10 lbs and if you stand to long you get stuck because swelling around your spine and still don't get disability because you decide I can still work my art and craft so I can still make my own money come talk to someone. Smh I am a mom of 3 and to this day the hard days and the good days I always am glad theya re safe in my home

The state should look else where for placement

Your honor, I don't understand why you want me to financially support my kids..... 🙄🤬

She is smoking in court! Jesus fix it!

This case is something, Brook C is laughing & talking, think she’s the one texting judge snitching on Burrows smoking the entire hearing, CASA is falling asleep & trying heard to keep her head up straight, Michelle Cummings at one point looked like she was stuck in awe with her mouth open, the two CPS ladies look like they are teenagers themselves….😂😂😂😂😊😮😮😮😅😅😅😅 And she is living with her husband, and boyfriend is across the street, kids fathers are in two different states, yet CPS removed the kids. It seems out of 4 men that one of them would have kids and not an aunt. That’s sad😢

Omg! These parents should be sterilized and not allowed to be anywhere near these children. Please step in , sever the parents rights and put these children in loving homes. Please do not send them to any family members!! Tautfest can barely stay coherent.. he is pathetic! He doesn’t want his child… please don’t send Alexander out there!!

Egads. What a messed up "family."

CPS does have reported hx of misinformation, falsifying documents and being harsh unnecessarily. Male attorney is magnificent advocating for his clients (very impressive).

I really think they aught do a deeper dive on these lameo disability-for-life folks. Everyone can get a job if they want to. There are all sorts of jobs and all sorts of hours. I can’t believe the government enables so much lazinesses.

How do these people have ALL these kids … yet the moment cps becomes involved it’s the same excuses with EVERY case. “I don’t have the money for this. I don’t have the money for that.” Then HOW did you support them prior to or plan to support them if you get them back?! Some America. Where the rest of the world will support you!!

That one dad makes me mad. If I heard my child was hungry and neglected by a drunk I'd find a way to get my child. He doesn't seem to care or want to be bothered. I have PTSD, chronic pain and 2 back surgeries from it and still work 🙄.

Holy flip.......Is she seriously smoking a daggone ciggarette?!!?!?!?!!?! It's COURT! Be Respectful to her Honor!!!!!!

So she’s going in about the child support Mr Harper couldn’t pay due to having no job, but ONLY began crying when she was told she must pay child support 🤨 She had more to say about the C.S than anything else, and cried over not being able to make those payments but expected it from their dad, working or not, struggling if not! Dads behind slightly but got himself together for his child, but she’s now in his position and is asking WHY? Why should she be made to pay support when she’s got no job and is overwhelmed? Is she serious 🙄 welp now she knows how dad felt!!!! Those poor babies! The brother who adopted might be the best option. If not then possibly Mr Harper who seems he would be good fit. He may not have known much ( and his child made one outcry and he was onto mum tbh ) but if he was in control he may be on top of his child’s care and appointments, schooling and activities etc 🤷🏼‍♀️ The other dad is a hard NO! Your child made many outcries to you and you did nothing?!?! Nope nope nope nope!!!! I hope those kiddos get the best out of life and never see this live! 🤦🏼‍♀️ bless um!

O give it up. That certificate shouldn’t have stopped enrollment.

I thank God im not a judge..they must have met at the PTSD prom for fuck ups..please don't give these poor excuses for humans this child and take the one they have..

Hey! Judge Mabrey! That has a nice ring to it!

Now, I don't wanna sound harsh or judgemental but there's less.chaos on an episode of Jerry Springer than in this group of (questionable) humans. I was halfway expecting Mr. Burrows to show up and a good chair tossing, hair pulling name calling smack down to happen right there in the doorway.

No smoking in COURT!!!!

Please don't send Alex to Idaho. He will not have a stable homebase. I picture him walking up and down the dirt road, being told to stay at x house tonight, not here. Idaho has a horrible school system. His Dad talks so slow; I think he makes a lot of drives to Washington to support his habit. It seems that no one is excited or even interested to welcome this young boy. 😭😢😤

why has mom not given a hair sample for testing?

Sooo, Mr. Tautfest and his partner are disabled under PTSD. Convenient for pot smokers!!! He has been told by his son there are worries about food and he shrugs off holy clothing, but it is not a worry for dad???????

Both dads need to step up for their children. They all need to do better because they never protected their children. Disgusting.

PTSD from being asked to get a job

I hate the way they treat this man honestly. Talk to him like he's a human. Jesus not everyone has a great life, upbringing, people get dealt with a lot of junk that not everyone can handle the way society thinks they should. But he showed up, and he's doing what he can. Stop talking to him like he's less than human. You all are supposed to be "professionals".

Why the h*ll didn't Alex's dad contact authorities regarding the neglect of his son? 😡😡

So let me get this straight, father of Alexander does not want to put him in a bad place, so leaves him with an alcoholic mother that neglects him, thats a better alternative. His own stepfather is passing away, I doubt grandma is rolling in dough, yet he thinks she is a healthy alternative? I think this guy has been visiting Washington a little too much! If the father is being truthful about what Hayley is saying, the fact she doesn't want to be around the mom's boyfriend, is a big 🚩 for me. Why is she so uncomfortable around him? Sounds like dating and drinking are bigger priorities than Hayley is. These three individuals are pathetic as far as parents go!!

Sing "Agata Vana" (lawyer) to the tune of "I got the power"

Ok Mrs Potts eye are staring into my soul... lol.

There are so many people with PTSD diagnosis, and they get on with life, Mr T is a pathetic I can't provide for my child. 😡😡😡

I think it takes a lot to admit you wouldn't be the best parent to take the child in. Even though people are bashing him, he's making the best decision for the kids. He knows he's not suitable to give him the life he deserves to have.

Bear is completely stubborn about being forthright, looks like he's preparing for jail already wearing the orange shirt.

Ptsd for both, how convenient. Smh

The glare on Mrs. Potts' glasses is driving me crazy. It makes her look like she has big crazy eyes going on. 😂

Old 'Bear' is the creepy dude sitting in the background. smoking in court. She's a prize

Not interested in visitations with mom??? Yeah and the dad's never seen a problem

I feel like there has been a conversation

Has David Harper been in another case? I remember the outside metal roof and bird noises.

Wow, im seriously concerned about the wellbeing of these kids.. honestly, it seems theyd be better off in a foster home with an option to adopt, together..find a family that will put them first.. be able to provide stability to these kids... this is awful.

She can't work because she has no car. But she sure found a way to buy cigarettes. And PTSD for both those other ones? But there are people who truly have disabilities yet they don't get help. Hot mess here!

Wait a minute….wasn’t there a support hearing or something recently with this Tautfest guy??? I’m almost positive we have seen him before!

Ok cop hat o. And vaping in court

Not all parents know the rights they have. Especially if they were not married.

PTSD should not keep you from working.

I think I just got PTSD listening to this trash parenting

He legally buys it here and illegally transports it back home. happens all the time.

Can I ask a question with a triple negative? AHHHHHH

Wow this is a mess Alex’s dad seems like there some other issues like cognitive

The deputy seems like a very nice guy but that hat is throwing off that "Boy" vibe. "You know how fast you were goin boy" "you heard what I said boy"

deputy remove hat

ssi is $914 a month. he lies. I receive ssi
