On December 11, 2012, Daniel Larson was featured in a KWGN report that documented his time at the Tennyson Center, an institution for children with special needs and behavioral issues. The report highlighted Daniel’s experiences and the challenges he faced, providing a glimpse into his life and the support he received during this period. This feature brought some attention to his struggles and the efforts being made to help him. This is arguably the healthiest point (mentally) in Daniel’s life.
Daniel had to live at the facility for approximately 1.5 years and participated in their programs for 3 years due to alleged neglect by his mother. He was able to leave Tennyson and attend are regular school when his grandmother caught wind his situation and moved from California to Denver to become his fulltime legal guardian.
It isn’t known when exactly this report was aired, but it’s undoubtedly featuring Daniel himself.
In a 2023 AMA, Flexburger said that he found the Tennyson Center video after “lots and lots of digging”, following Daniel revealing to him that he was on the news as a child. However, it was not found (or “leaked”) by the community for a while.
