He should sue his mom. TLC should be sued out of existence. TLC is toxic.

[amberkeller]

She’s still abusing him by posting that . She’s disgusting .

[canmima]

He should sue both his abusive mother and tlc. A child deserves so much better.

[BassetGirl]

Kate should be in jail for child abuse and neglect

[Polani]

This is not ok. TLC and Kate should be held accountable for child abuse.

[lindanevin]

She is an abusive evil Mother. You caused so much emotional harm to this young man. I wish you all the best, Colin. Live your life and enjoy all it has to offer.

[SaysWho]

No, you don’t have to defend yourself son. We believe you and we believe in you. You’ve got this young man. Thank you for your service.

Kate was verbally abusive to her children and husband on that TLC show. Poor Collin, I hope he gets to live a happy, fulfilling life.

[felineoverlordservant]

I believe you sweetheart. You did nothing wrong. You were the victim of your mom’s narcissistic abuse. I am so sorry no one protected you. You deserved so much better and you are so brave. ❤

[grubhubguy]

Kate absolutely put out that Instagram post to get him kicked out of the Marine Corps. What a disgusting human.

[rosierambo]

She didn’t abuse him. She CONTINUES to abuse him. It’s not just past tense. It’s continuous and chronic. Something is wrong with her.🌹

[Alex-bblc]

This is what happens to the scapegoat child of a narcissist. She will never stop trying to destroy him until she passes or he dies.

[noreenbalfe]

Bashing your child on social media is ruthless.

[cathyconklin]

Collin should sue TLC and Kate in every level.

[FP]

Such a handsome young man. He’s well spoken and his words are heartfelt. I hope he goes on to have a beautiful life in spite of his mom.

[Booktok]

The pictures of all 8 siblings and Collin always off to the side and sad is absolutely heartbreaking 💔

[Ellie-qfqb]

I think he should sue his mom for defamation.

[sallychristeon]

Sounds like a cover up, that child has a right to be a soldier, and his mother in jail. Shameful for doing that to any child.

[kathleenferguson]

The photos of his younger days show a unhappy child, he looks isolated from his siblings with a very unhappy expression.

[lynda]

Kate would never admit to what she did to Collin. If she admitted it, she would be put in jail. Kate is a horrible mother. Collin, we all are on your side.
