Local authorities are investigating YouTubers Myka and James Stauffer after receiving "several inquiries regarding the welfare" of their adopted son, whom they recently announced they had placed with another family.

"Our primary concern is for the well-being of this child, as well as the other children in the household," a spokesperson for The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office wrote in statement. "Our investigation is ongoing, and will include contact with all children to ensure their safety."

The Stauffers faced backlash last week after they announced they were permanently placing their son, Huxley, with another family. The couple adopted Huxley from China in 2017 and said they were not aware the extent of his special needs when they brought him home. According to Myka Stauffer, Huxley was diagnosed with a stroke in utero, has level 3 autism and sensory processing disorder.

As tough as it is, I think the adopted parents made the right decision. If the kid isn't working out, you have to re-home the child before the situation gets worse. As tough as it is, they made the right decision for their family and the child.

Yes. Just as with people who get a dog or cat without being committed to the responsibilities that come with caring for another life, that child is better off being with people who care.

A child is somewhat different from a cat or dog.
