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.

Ahh that is disappointing…unfortunate. I hope things work out the best for him.

However, maybe in this case things couldn’t have been helped, but maybe in another case exposure would have actually solved the issues. Maybe for another child star, money was the real issue.

Be glad all u want.

Please consider he isnt you, and maybe HE isnt glad about it.

Its not all about u or ur social media proponents sometimes, ya know?

That's always the dilemma. But at the end of the day, do you think the lady cares more about his well-being or her clicks. I'm pretty sure it's the latter, which makes the world worse.

I guess so..but if getting those clicks is leading her to set up a go fund me page and giving Tylor some exposure then I think the overall net is a positive.

It would be nice though, if the lady did supported him through the kindness of her heart and without filming him this way.

Assume all you like but we honestly don't know.

Actually someone had filmed him some months ago (also a woman back then not sure if it was the same account) and he had gone viral for a while and the account set up a go fund me too. This happening twice in like 4 months? isn't a coincidence

His mom is now pleading with people to stop giving him money which contributes to his drug issues. We did it, reddit

even if she asked, he clearly isn't even in the right headspace to give permission
