“So many devoted Yeet Baby followers have expressed genuine concern for our beloved ‘Uncle Chris‘, it is for those we share this update. As many of you know, his life the last 6 months have been nothing short of difficult. What you all witnessed leading up to his disappearance was all of his emotions coming to a head,” the statement read.
They shared, “Prior to his disappearance he had seen the movie Sound of Freedom, and like many others, he was sick to his core over it. This prompted him to post links to raise money for the cause of ending child sex trafficking. To many of you this may have seemed odd, but he genuinely wanted and still wants to help this cause. Unfortunately, it was posted at a time that he was also visibly not in his right mind and not acting like the Chris we know and love.”
The statement continued, “He was presumed missing the following day. We, as his family and friends, were afraid for his life. We posted immediately on social media to look out for him to aid police in looking for him. After several hours of not knowing if he was alive or dead, we got word that he had checked himself into a mental health facility.”
It added, “We are sure you all still have a lot of questions, but those are for Uncle Chris to answer once he is healthy and ready to share his experiences. He is currently being treated at a mental health facility. Your thoughts and prayers have been so appreciated by him and his family during this time. If you are or know someone struggling coping with anything, please talk to someone. You are not alone. We are on this earth for such short time and it’s not meant to be spent in despair.”
The statement then shifted to a message from Chris, “A message from Chris to his followers: The amount of love and prayers I have received not just now but over the years, truly has brought me out of some very low times. Unfortunately, there was nothing anyone could do to help me. It is something that I have to work on and am going to make it my life’s mission to not only get myself healthy but also others. If there is one thing I have learned during this time, there are a lot of hurting people in this world and I am going to do everything I can to help them.”
