My biological father also SAd me as a kid, I never talked about it until after his suicide. He was going to jail for SA against my older sister, our step mom found out and turned him in. We’ll never get justice and I never want a girl to feel powerless like I did. So I’m here, and I care.
I've been assaulted by a family member hardly that much older than me as a child, and was told it was simply curiosity when I broke down admitting it happened several years later due to the guilt I didn't stop it. I felt dramatic, and overly emotional about something miniscule. It is not miniscule, all voices deserve to be heard and all offenders should face punishment. Keep this man behind bars. All of my love and hope to every victim out there.
I was molested when i was 4 years old. Authorities didn’t believe me. They questioned me for hours on end. I told them the same thing over and over again. They said that it could be possible for me (a four year old) to be lying or overreacting. At the end of the day he walked away free. I’m now almost a full on adult and still remember all of it. He had daughters who would yell and beg for him to stop but when my mom would ask abt what was going on he would say they were playing around. it didn’t make sense until I got older. I remember seeing him in my room and I still get nightmares of him hiding in my closet till this day. I still can’t watch movies that have SA topics without having a full meltdown. I can’t even hug my little brothers and I can’t even let my brothers get near me too much. It sucks seeing my brothers wanting to show me love and they can’t because I still get scared. No one should ever have to go through anything like that
Chrisean jr challenges are not “he’ll grow out of it.”
They are textbook medical red flags:
bilateral inguinal hernias
clubbed feet on both sides
inability to swallow solids
visual concerns
seizures
no speech
no engagement
extremely limited mobility
inability to sit up, hold weight, or stand independently
stiff, molded legs that stay in the exact position he’s held in
constant thousand-yard stare
no reactions, no preferences, no emotional expressions
hypotonia (his voice sounding “Elmo-like” isn’t cute — it’s a sign)
This is not normal. This is not being “behind.” This is not “he’s strong.”
This is a toddler who has survived in spite of his environment, not because of it.
Junior deserves a real medical team. A full neurological workup. A developmental evaluation. A safe, stable environment. And a mother who is also given the mental health support she clearly needed long before this moment.
This is a call for protection, not punishment.
A call for truth, not shade.
A call for help, because Junior cannot speak for himself.
I care about this issue because the same day Chrisean posted her pregnancy test results was the exact same day I found out I was pregnant and me and her were due around the same time, however, I lost my baby due to domestic violence in a situation I couldn't control or escape in time. (The father quit his job when he found out and held me hostage for 2 months while plotting to have me murdered and I lost my baby during the attempt). I have been grieving for 3 years now and to see this baby not get the proper care he needs, to see his health decline and him not being able to develop the way a normal 2 year old would meanwhile constantly around people that smoke and drink in his presence at all hours of the night, his stroller seat being used as a car seat, it's just heart breaking to watch because I wanted my baby I quit drinking and smoking as soon as I found out I was pregnant, and here Chrisean gets to have her child and he is being treated like this??? #SaveJunior
I am signing this petition out of genuine concern for the well-being of a disabled child who appears to need consistent and proper care.
I have followed Chrisean publicly for many years and, like many others, once rooted for her growth. Despite past concerning behavior, I hoped that motherhood would bring positive change. While she continued to engage in risky behavior during pregnancy—documented publicly—I still held hope that she would step into a healthier season once her child was born.
When she shared her labor and delivery publicly, many people developed immediate care and concern for Baby Chrisean Jr. Unfortunately, as time went on, the content shared did not reflect consistent prioritization of his medical, developmental, or environmental needs.
There have been multiple documented instances that raised concern, including delays in seeking medical attention for a hernia, public dismissal of developmental delays, and exposure of the child to unstable and inappropriate environments. The child has appeared without basic necessities, such as proper footwear to support visible physical conditions, while frequently being present in late-night settings with numerous unrelated adults.
Additionally, the child has been moved between hotel rooms and various locations rather than a stable home environment. While Chrisean earns substantial income through television and online platforms, there is little publicly shared evidence that these resources are being used to support the specialized medical and developmental care her child appears to need.
I understand that motherhood is a learning process, and I do not claim perfection. I am a mother myself and know firsthand how challenging it can be, especially without a strong support system. However, a child’s basic medical care, safety, and developmental needs must always come first.
This petition is not about punishment, harassment, or wishing harm. It is about intervention, accountability, and support. There is a mother who appears overwhelmed and a child with special needs who deserves consistent care, stability, and advocacy.
I am signing because it is deeply troubling to witness what feels like a slow-moving crisis involving a vulnerable child. Sometimes caring means speaking up—not out of judgment, but out of responsibility and hope for better outcomes for both mother and child.
As someone who struggled with childhood asthma, I cannot imagine living with a parent who wouldn’t have advocated for me and helped me properly. Being unable to breathe is terrifying. No child should have to battle asthma without the proper support.
I’m 31 years old, have a kid on the way and am looking to sell my house. Property tax increases over the last 5 years have made owning a home unaffordable. Adding a kid on top of that, my hands were forced. Getting rid of fraud and abuse is the only way to lower costs for Minnesotans. Adding money to an affordability issue only creates more unaffordability issues. Something needs to be done.
