Two years ago, Alicia Dougherty was a mother of 10 who worked as a housekeeper and had never heard of TikTok.
Then one day she realized her children are so goddamn profitable it's not even funny.
Jesus Christ, is that not about the most heartwarming thing you've seen all day? This woman must be a saint. I mean, look at all the kids she's adopted! And some of them are even disabled, which we all know for sure because Alicia helpfully posted their medical records.
I think the highlights of this video include:
Saying that her son P has "ROPTSD", which stands for Rule Out PTSD
Including his diagnosis of a bruise
"Low IQ Genetics"
But I digress. Most of her videos were simple vlogs of her (kids) daily lives.
Cute. Kind of reminds me of Jon and Kate + 8. That family is doing fine now by the way - right?
Question: When your son sees his biological mom for the first time in years, is it rude to make a TikTok?
Oh yeah, she drinks a TON of White Claw. Keep an eye out for it! It's a game.
All this unfettered information naturally lead to handsome returns. Hey, let's look at her views!
Whoa,
Viral hits from this time include
Now this video was interesting because Alicia disabled the comments on this one due to racist discussions about how her black twins didn't want to share their food with her. I guess when you really think about it, asking kids who were adopted from foster care and know food insecurity to give them a bite of the food they're eating right now isn't a fun experiment to do for TikTok.
What pulled more consistant views than anything were staples of family channels - her morning routines and grocery hauls.
Alicia does cut every kind of sandwich with the same knife, making them "ketchup peanut butter tuna" sandwiches. You can pretty much call it whatever combination of sandwich ingredients you want, she uses all of them and they all go on the knife.
The views get better the more she hauls. And at the end of the year, it's all a tax write off. She did recently have a falling out with Wegman's and no longer shops there because, "I just don't feel very welcome," which is a strange thing to say about the grocery store. Speculation includes any combination of being asked to stop filming, purchasing so much with such frequency, and to stop walking in through their employee entrance which she did every single morning like it was super cool.
Let's check back in with the kids. There's two more of them now by the way, and here's a quick recap
"But wait!" I hear you saying, "You can't post your foster kids online!" N and D are with Alicia through a kinship placement. She knew their mother growing up, and when the kids hit the system she asked Alicia to take them in. This exempts them from many foster care regulations - New York considers the children to have been placed within the family. Now we don't know what kind of money might have changed hands, but their mother is fine with their videos. This introduces an apparent conflict between the interests of the children and the financial gain of their guardians. N and D are breakout stars on the channel and they're old enough to interact with the audience and they have an emotional attachment to the kids. There's huge financial incentive to have them on the channel. When the kids came to Alicia in April of 2022 she said they would be returning to their mother in August. As of the last day of August, N and D are preparing to start school in the Dougherty's school district. There has been no discussion of returning them to their biological mother in recent past.
In fact Alicia likes to speak with the national news as a mother of 12.
In August 2020 the family was featured in People Magazine
Today in April 2022
And the New York Post in May 2022
The cool thing about not caring about trolls is that anything can be considered trolling, so if you disregard everything that doesn't make you feel good inside you never have to be wrong.
Let's zoom in on something she talks about in the articles - her security camera system.
Alicia says they have security cameras in every room of their house to hold the children accountable if they lie or steal and to capture evidence if one of them molests another. Since that might happen.
She appears to hold 0 amount of concern for the way her internet usage can endanger the children in real life. To emphasis this, let's look back at the beach vacation the family went on earlier in August 2022.
On the way there she doxxed her phone number while paying for $3,100 of groceries plus $350 in alcohol
The first thing Alicia did upon arrival at their rental was post a video of the full exterior with the address number visable.
She later posted a video showing the viewers exactly where each of her children would be sleeping and how far away the adults would be at night. In the beginning of this video she also films her 14 year old foster daughter wearing a shirt that says "I love hot moms" and underwear.
She also let everyone know when she, her husband, and parents were going out at night and would be leaving the children under the supervision of one babysitter
One morning a random man came and started taking pictures with the children
Fans commented about seeing the kids on the beach and how "they didn't really want to talk" and wouldn't take a selfie
Their oldest son went to a party on the boardwalk
And was brought back by the police
To which Alicia posted this
The children are constantly doxxed in real time. Alicia has made public information of where they go to school, their schedule, and every morning she vlogs about what everyone is going to be doing that day while she makes five loaves of pumpkin chocolate chip bread.
She not only reveals their physical location, but humiliating information as well
And shit talks them for laughs
As before mentioned, she talks openly about the children's medical conditions and treatments. Everything from the results of a sleep test, a phone call for a third opinion on a hurt finger, and medication and treatment plans will all be posted on Tiktok.
And now I must confessed that I have saved the worst for last
Some of Alicia's children carry diagnosis of attachment disorders, which she treats in this way
Alicia describes regression therapy as "repetitive motion to teach the brain how to be happy"
Regression therapy does not allow the child to say no to their parent under any circumstances. Holding and bottle feeding are mandatory, and if the child resists they'll be restrained and held harder. They must ask permission for everything - including standing, sitting, or going to the bathroom. Parents are supposed to randomly deny these base level requests to more or less fuck with them. This practice has killed children, holds no scientific merit, and is universally used on children who were unable to please their adoptive parents. It is inherently abusive.
I strongly encourage further reading as she puts out content at a tremendous rate.

Let's check back in with the kids. There's two more of them now by the way, and here's a quick recap
A (16 m) adopted (Plays football, just got a jeep, Alicia was psyched to adopt him because lots of other families were interested.)
J (15 m) adopted (One time Alicia spent an entire live stream complaining about how he put out too big a spoon for the pizza sauce)
P (14 m) adopted (One of the kids Alicia has called "unadoptable")
N (14 f) foster (Alicia might be letting her sip Claws)
D (12 m) foster (Has a girlfriend and they're getting serious, Alicia fully supports)
B (12 f) adopted (The other kid Alicia has called "unadoptable")
Z (10 f) biological (One of the favorites, looks exactly like Alicia)
D (8 m) biological (wears the goggle glasses)
J twins (8 m) (Alicia likes to call them and bio son D the Oreo Triplets. Get it, because they're black and D's the creamy filling. She usually lines them up in oreo order for pictures.)
Little B (5 m) biological ("Our 5 Year Old With Autism!")
H (4 f) biological (The other favorite, Alicia wants her to be a star)
J (15 m) adopted (One time Alicia spent an entire live stream complaining about how he put out too big a spoon for the pizza sauce)
P (14 m) adopted (One of the kids Alicia has called "unadoptable")
N (14 f) foster (Alicia might be letting her sip Claws)
