A 15-year-old Utah boy has become TikTok famous after barricading with his sister inside a room at their mother’s house in order to avoid a judge’s order to reunite with their allegedly abusive father, according to a report.
Ty Larson has been using the video-sharing app for the last month to raise awareness about his and 12-year-old Brynlee’s ordeal after a state judge ruled the sibling need to be returned to their dad’s custody, according to a ProPublica report. Some of his videos, livestreamed from inside the bedroom, have hit more than 380,000 views.
Judge Derek Pullan gave police the green light to use “reasonable force” that includes getting into locked rooms to carry out the order.
In one TikTok clip last month, Ty said he was abused sexually and emotionally by his father until the age of 11, when he disclosed the allegations. He said his sister, now 12, also faced abuse when she was younger.
“My own word does not matter and they do not believe my truth,” Ty told his more than 50,000 followers.
Cops tried to get the siblings from the house in December, but decided against breaking down the door — seeking further clarity from the court over what they found could be a “potentially combustible situation,” according to police reports seen by ProPublica.
An investigation by the state’s Division of Child and Family Services in 2018 deemed credible allegations that dad Brent Joel Larson was sexually and emotionally abusing the kids, the outlet reported.
