After watching the video of you confronting BJ about the money there was a point where Betty retreated to the back of the porch looking scared of BJ and I think it was Larry that said something to the effect that BJ threatens Betty and there home if she doesn't do what she wants her to. I don't know the look that came over Betty's face when she retreated back was very concerning to the point I was worried what was going to happen after you left. Remember Mark Betty and family are seniors and BJ has already exploited them financially who's to say she isn't abusing them physically and mentally. People on drugs will do desperate things to anyone even there loved ones to get there next fix you of all people know this. I myself only picked up the signs cause I work in the health field and adult abuse ( of ALL kinds) is drilled into us on a regular basis so we can see the signs of those under our care and take the appropriate action if needed.

That requires a bunch of legal protections for mark to do targetted payments like that. It's probably better if he sets up a conservatorship that pays rents or whatever.

@@ginger-witchdo you mean a trust? A conservatorship is having control of someone’s money and life like Britney Spears.

They are not capable of being neat and tidy. They have lived this way their whole lives. None of them would know how to keep house in a clean and sanitary way. Also IMO Betty is a lot smarter then what everyone gives her credit for. I believe she is taken advantage of Mark and well aware of what she is doing to him. I wish the best for this family but they will never change no matter how much money you give them. They are not mentally capable of handling finances or establishing a clean way of living.

I have one critical comment for Mark. While your intentions were good, why weren’t safe guards set up from the beginning. While Betty might be the smartest of the bunch (and no ill intentions meant) but she’s still ignorant and dumb as a a box of rocks. Easily influenced by anyone. They didn’t take advantage of you. People took advantage of them through you. Betty doesn’t grasp the money or what was taken from her or her kinfolk. It’s incredibly sad. Timmy Loves you and it’s shown on all your visits. To just give them money without oversight was irresponsible on your part.

I've truly grown to realize that many people need some level of either intermittent or constant intervention to live in the modern world - whether it's financial help, or physical help, or medical help. The sorts of institutions that would previously house such people have been shut down decades ago owing to abuse within the facilities, but what's left is people who are abused on the street and in even worse condition. As a society we need to take more social care of all our citizens.

You are such a kind and caring person. HOWEVER, according to your previous interviews. I thought you were going to stop helping the Whittakers and Rebecca. After watching your interviews with the Whittakers it was obvious to someone with half a brain what was going on. Even Betty's attitude changed towards you. You could tell the greed that was building in Betty and the two brothers. They might be uneducated, but they are slick. Betty says one thing and does another. It was obvious they were involved in this last fiasco with saying the brother passed. Amazing how many of the relatives came out of the wood work. The purchase of vehicles for the brother or brothers, and an ATV. The children, and grandchildren obviously all looking for a hand out. All that money you gave them just PISSED AWAY in plain English. Their current house is even in more distress. The living conditions are unhealthy and deplorable. You can get donations for another house and with their mindset it will get to the same point as their current home. I am sure they all get state aid or are entitled to it. I would not donate a penny to them. They hung them selves with your help sorry to say. (you have too good of a HEART) You are just enabling them. Just like COSMO said about Rebecca. Rebecca is shrewd even through all his mental health and drug issues. He just is using you to get his surgery and somewhere to stay. He is.a con. I love your show Mark, but I cannot condone this enabling. I think your channel is losing its way in the direction it is going with everyone taking advantage of you. Be kind, but be stronger.

Good job, you found my point: NONE of us know “zippo”. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be mad at Mark for not being clear where the money was going and what it was actually being spent on. I’m saying that there are a lot of people telling Mark what he SHOULD be doing and telling him HOW he should move forward with this family as if they know more about the Whittaker family, their needs, their lives, and whatever other challenges they face off-camera. Sucks that you lost a bunch of money, you guys must have really big hearts. But the complete mismanagement of these funds does not erase the fact that these people are still a vulnerable family living in destitution and squalor. These are people that obviously need serious help both financially and in getting away from the leeches that want to waste the money on drugs.

Hi Mark, I know you mean well but the extended family is stealing from them. A lot of money has been collected for this family and they still live in swallow, and house needs maintaining & up grades. Have you looked into a conservatorship for them to protect them and the money since you are the one raising the money for them? Peace ☮️

The smartest thing to do for the Whitakers is have a general contractor build them a open concept post frame house on a slab with polished floors with separate bedrooms around the perimeter. It would be alot cheaper than purchasing a house and would be easy to maintain and cheaper on taxes. Purchase a wood fired boiler to heat the concrete floor. The only problem with buying them a house or building something easy to maintain is the taxes every year because if there not being payed there going to loose it eventually unfortunately. I think the post frame house is the easiest and cheapest alternative for them. Please check into it before purchasing a house for them. It's not gonna cost anybody to get estimates from contractors. I'd be willing to help you with information. I've been in construction industry for 30yrs plus and I have alot of connections in that area and could probably work something out with the interior package as far as the drywall and painting part of it. We have a certified apprenticeship training program that might possibly donate the labor for training purposes. Let me know if you have any questions
