Creepy DISTURBING man is STILL trying to Adopt Young Women and its SCARY. (What Happened to Ileana?)

[@siennafleegal848]

Are you aware that A&E quite literally destroyed evidence of police murdering someone for their old Live PD show they had to cancel? I say this only to inform, I'm trained to work in these types of shows and it was and is required practice to archive footage multiple times for this network. They also edited weekly recaps and posted shorts to KZbin every week. Their post production team literally went into every archive and backup of this footage and it's stream, and deleted it all to destroy the evidence in order to not present it in court. They were sued by the family. This is speculation, but I have zero confidence the production team/producers did not witness a crime, or did not attempt hide a crime to cover themselves legally. They have a precedent of destroying criminal evidence. I dearly hope this girl is alive. I also have zero confidence A&E knows that, and their speed to remove it has me even more suspicious. Their desperation to create content destroys lives to the point of death, a fact that has been proven and is not at all defamatory. Feel free to include any of this information in any updates, you do not have to credit me. This is a widely known controversy that ended all "Live ___" programs on the A&E channel for months, and ended Live PD indefinitely.

Adult adoption is generally used when someone wants a non-family member to inherit their estate after they pass. It’s a way to keep family from contesting the will.

My massive red flag (like blaring red flag) is the pregnancy. People will target pregnant people for the child, and toss the birthing person to the side once they gain the infant. There's so many things wrong with this situation and so many red flags, and all i can hope for is AE paid for Illeana to have access to housing, medical care, etc for using her. Like it's not just Danny that is the issue here. This is a vulnerable person who was used by a network for views, that's manipulation and abuse too.

Someone needs to arrest this man when Danny will eventually go even younger and groom them because that’s a big fear at the moment. It’s already creepy on what he’s doing but this will be like that one episode on Law & Order where Will Arnet was a special guest and acted as a sex trafficker with minors- And for Danny to say that she needs to reimburse for all the things that was provided to her leaves a awful nasty taste in my mouth and I really hope she’s okay and got out I forgot to mention how Danny said “I want someone to continue my legacy” hint on why he maybe “adopting” pregnant adults or adults with children

@@wolfmenot I know, I’m just putting out information relevant to the topic at hand.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

Yeah, they adopt a man. I had a rich ex partner of my mother ask me if I would be willing to carry on his legacy by accepting his conditions. It creeped me out a bit, he wanted me to live and study on the same european boarding schools and university as him. Basically do what he did and what he couldn't. I refused, he moved on and eventually had a child of his own. In my case, even as a teen, I realized that I would be leaving everything behind to live in another continent. I would be relying on being the son the man wanted. Any failures to live up to his expectations would mean becoming a failed investment, would he still treat me as a son in that case? It's already an unhealthy relationship, specially since I would be essentially swapping my father for him. It would also give him legal power over me, so I couldn't travel out of the country without his authorization. I say this to point out that it has some issues even when the intention seems pure enough and all cards are in the open. Danny is looking for women in severe need of money and shelter. That is abusive behaviour. Worse, predator behaviour, looking for a profile of victim that will end up in his property and under his control for life. He wants them away from support structures and under his complete control.

[@patsysolatzzo2962]

It’s scaring and upsetting me that there’s no update on this girl and her baby. I don’t need to know details but just want her to be safe. I don’t like that we have more information on his gross behavior but nothing on her. I pray she’s ok. Nobody deserves what illiana went through.

@@Movemee387 That is good to know I'm not the only one thinking like that. When someone like Danny pops up, shows no regard beyond his own agenda, and makes horribly racist comments they should not be given a pass on anything. If anything I believe that guy is so deranged and cocky that he believes he can get away with doing most anything. The very moment we stop paying attention to him even for a minute will be when he really crosses the line and someone gets seriously hurt. I'm not advocating harm or harassment to come to him. I am saying he should be aware that he is being watched and moment he steps out of line will be the end of his freedom and life as he knows it. Every girl is someone's daughter. The comments Danny has made have been way more than disrespectful. We see how bad he behaves in front of the camera. I don't want to know how he behaves when there isn't a camera on him.

What makes me sick seeing this whole thing are the amount of actual children that are placed into abusive foster care homes. Imagine if Danny wanted to adopt young kids and not an adult?. Just look at those two young boys Orson and Orrin West that were killed by their “adoptive parents”. Ileana is a grown woman and thankfully was able to get herself out of that situation. I hope she’s doing alright and thriving with her baby.

I truly don’t think meeting and interacting with Danny would be easily forgettable just from what we’ve seen on the show and from things uncovered since. He’s just a bit too out there for seemingly anyone’s comfort. Part of me wishes they would air the other episodes because this whole thing is just weird, airing 3 episodes and then acting like none of it happened just somehow makes this weird situation somehow weirder. I think they really messed up picking him for the show, didn’t fully look into him or did and saw his behavior and just figured it would be fine. I saw one video claiming that she went to someone that knew the family and they want the money they spent on her back, I don’t remember where I saw this besides KZbin, but it made me more uncomfortable because I don’t see that being out of his character.

[@shewho333]

I got so curious about this that I went ahead and purchased the six part investigative series about serial killings in Danny’s same town.

It’s unheard of, unless something serious is happening. I am SERIOUSLY concerned for her and A&E owes it to this girl to at LEAST make sure she’s ok and in a safe place, after trying to profit off of her difficult situation and encouraging her to put her well-being in the hands of a perverted stranger. She is a young woman alone in a foreign country. She’s is extremely vulnerable and in a position that would make it very easy for a predator to make her disappear. I hope to god we find out soon that she’s at least alive and safe. If she isn’t, A&E will have blood on their hands.

Adult adoption in general is risky, and that's coming from someone who was looking into being adopted as an adult. I feel like it should not be a common thing, and I feel like much like normal adoption, there should be many many practices put in place to protect that person. Because whether they are an adult or not, you have a power over them. I feel like there are plenty of people who have been adopted as adults by loving people and have happy healthy lives. But much like people who meet their husband online, it is just such a risk. It needs to be addressed with eyes wide open
