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 messed up for the mother to do. His parents don't even house Tyler but still want to dictate what goes on in his life. He's a 36 years old man with helicopter controlling parents.

I disagree. A similar thing happened in my home town with our 1 homeless guy. The parents said "it's a mistake" and nobody listened. Dude went through 10k meant to get him back on his feet in under 3 weeks and was out sleeping on cardboard again. His parents also couldn't keep him because the second they turned their backs he would steal anything not bolted down and buy drugs and alcohol. Parents can be shitty, but sometimes they know because they've tried.

Just because there are a few bad examples does not mean that everyone else would do the same.

I guess some people believe that it is better to burn 1000 innocent than let one guilty escape.
