HorrorcowSusan Schofield Cabana, Cory Cabana, & Michael Schofield / Schofield Productions / @bipolarnation - A Tragicomic Tale of Psychiatric Munchausen's by Proxy
Been lurking this thread and watching the last 48 hours with anticipation but a fair dose of apprehension too. These poor kids have been through the ringer and Susan able to get away with her abuse for so long, I've been hesitant to be optimistic because so often, life just doesn't work out for the best even with opportunities like this new Dr. Phil thing.
And even now, after hearing that what we'd all pretty much hoped would happen did seemingly come to pass, I'm still very apprehensive. Susan and Cory are loose cannons, and I fear for the immediate future of the kids. I can see Susan having an absolute manic fit and doing something horrible, unless DCFS or Michael actively step in to make sure the kids are safe. That might be paranoia talking, but I wouldn't put anything past Susan now that she's been humiliated to such a degree.
Hope I'm wrong. These kids deserve some peace and normalcy for a change.
By whom? And if not by a judge, why would she do it?
Edit: Where I am going with this is, if a judge didn't order her to take it down, and she is complying for... reasons, what is preventing her from putting it back up?
1) Dr. Phil made taking down the YouTube channel a condition of any free after-show evaluations and care he provided.
2) Dr. Sophy (I believe he's the medical director for DCFS in LA at least?) put in a word with the DCFS people handling the Schofield case and had them tell the witch to take it down.
3) DCFS finally got around to enforcing the recommendation of the last psych who evaluated Bodhi--the one who told Susan to stop filming--and it's just a happy coincidence that them commanding her to shut the channel down happened to fall on the same day as the Dr. Phil taping.
If DCFS or some other law enforcement/judicial authority didn't make her take it down, it's quite likely she'll put the channel back up at some point in the near future. Especially after the episode airs, when she'll want to try to do damage control and spin her own narrative. Susan can't STAND not being the center of attention, after all. Hell, even if DCFS or a judge made her shut down the channel, she might end up putting it back up at some point 'in protest' or some other made up manic shit.
Edit: This is the song that started running through my head after I read the news about Susan being humiliated on stage. She's still alive, but her facade as a loving mom fighting for her kids will absolutely be dead as soon as that episode airs.

Have you or anyone else archived the various Facebook videos? If they're not already down, they might be removed next--especially after that episode hits the airwaves and lots of new people will start googling the witch and her flying monkeys.
Fucking Yes!!!!!! The bitch gets laughed off staged and Big man Cory goes running after Dr. Phil. I never been so excited to see a Dr. Phil episode in my God forsaken life.
- Dr. Phil has swooped in at Michael's behest and is currently filming the family with an eye to Bodhi having been severely overmedicated
- Cory's only biological child, Kelli Cabana, joins the farms to tell us a harrowing personal story of her own physical abuse and deep neglect at Cory's hands. She disavows her father's actions and is no longer interested in maintaining a relationship with him. She has forwarded her personal story to Dr. Phil to counter Cory's inevitable "super dad" act, for act it is.
Let's timeline this bitch.
September 2018
As Cory begins using the channel account more, he begins to mess up Susan's careful messaging with his temper and hubris.
After 6+ months of being obviously unwell (staggering, dystonia, slurring, pale, distended stomach, etc etc), Bodhi's health takes an even more severe turn for the worst.
After trying to hide Bodhi's condition from the public periodically throughout 2018, Susan began releasing multiple videos starting in September, "proving" Bodhi can talk. All they prove is that rather than "just" severe dystonia, Bodhi is having absence seizures. Oh, and he can't talk at all anymore, not beyond single slurred words.
9/14/18 Bodhi is desperately trying to speak the right answers to get the cookies he normally doesn't need to perform for, but he simply cannot do it. People suspect Susan, and possible Jani, are mouthing the answers or holding up their fingers to coach him behind camera. He seizes at 0:06.
[INSERT VIDEO: 2018-09-14 Cookies (Susan tries to force him to talk)]
The video description shows the start of Cory's deep irritation with Bodhi; people keep asking why they no longer allow B to self feed, why does Cory always do it, B will never learn if he can't practice, etc. Cory, instead of simply bringing extra clothing for Bodhi, helping him with a napkin, or any other technique, indicates that Bodhi's eating annoys him and so Cory does it for him.

October 2018
November 2018
The second half of 2018 saw Cory increasingly taking over the Schofield Productions official account, to the point where Susan no longer used it at all, only her own unofficial "Susan Schofield" account to comment. Supporters refused to believe it was Susan saying terrible things using this account, though as the year wore on that became a more and more indefensible position.
In addition to having his hands on Bodhi constantly, and posturing as the Best Father Ever Who Knows Everything About Psychiatric Medicine, Cory finally achieved a takeover of the YouTube channel when Susan awkwardly shoehorned in a pitch for their newly named "Schofield Cabana Productions" channel.
[INSERT VIDEO: 2018-11-23 Thanksgiving (Boshi unresponsive)]
People have commented for years that Susan is incredibly manic, shouting in each video, obsessive compulsively screaming the date at the start of videos since she and Michael eloped to Vegas circa 1997. Around October 2018, Susan begins agreeing with people in the comments that she is indeed loud, shrill and incredibly unpleasant to listen to - a woman who worked in radio says she hates her own voice. In the Thanksgiving video, while telling everyone that their "production company" is now a joint effort, she also slows down and quiets herself for once, and explains, slowly, why she does the dates in each video (she's gonna make yet another imaginary documentary), and how manic she usually sounds. This is said at Cory's behest.
Cory seems to be the driver behind the (brief, very sporadic) efforts to change her voice. It seems that after hitting their two year anniversary in October, Cory's temper has been increasingly on display in the comments, and nothing short of his irritation could get Susan to attempt to reign in her voice. We'll see his temper begin to seep into the videos shortly.
Bodhi disappears from the channel for 2 months, despite Susan posting videos of Jani every few days. He reappears in November. On 11/8/18, Susan makes this video of herself shouting at Bodhi to say the phrase "forced lucidity" while shouting at him to stay in the present. At 0:09 he has a seizure. He has another at 0:26, and falls backwards while Susan shouts at him for not "staying in reality". By this point, B can't be filmed for more than 10 seconds without either seizing or becoming dystonic.
[INSERT VIDEO: 2018-11-08 Forced Lucidity (strong evidence of seizure as Susan shouts at B)]
11/29/18. In this video, Susan shouts at Bodhi, over and over again "DO YOU LIKE THE RAIIIIIN, BODHI??" Despite being offered yet another sugary snack as a pre-diabetic child - this has worked for single word answers in the past, with Susan barking at him - he cannot respond, though he tries. He is swaying and stumbling. Susan calls him annoying for not being able to answer her at 0:55, just as he starts seizing. She makes Jani call him annoying as well.
Seizes 0:18-0:30, 1:20-1:30 (when Susan shuts the camera off, and doesn't turn it on again until the seizing has stopped).

A new KiwiLeak, @JanusJupiter , joins the Farms. This Leak has a strong direct link to Michael, and fills us in on things like:
- Michael has joint physical custody of the kids; Susan is abusing a clause in the custody agreement that allows for emergency medical treatment, in order to do whatever she wants with the kids' meds without informing him
- Bodhi's current med list: 350 mg clozapine; 150 mg thorazine plus daily unknown PRN; depakote, amount unknown; benadryl 25 mg PRN, total daily amount unknown.
- Jani's current med list (increased since Susan last filled us in June '17): 350 mg clozapine; 900 mg lithium; unknown amount of thorazine PRN daily.
- Michael does not concur with Susan that without medication, both children would turn into killers.
December reveals that not only have Bodhi and Jani been medically abused - the abuse has re-escalated to physical (not since Jani's infancy have we heard of physical abuse.)
The month begins with Bodhi chipping his tooth. Michael only learned of this because Jani speaks of it on one of their nightly calls. Jani is punished for revealing this to her father.
On December 4th, one of our KiwiLeaks reveals that Bodhi chipped his front tooth. Michael only learned of this during a call with Jani; she told her father that Bodhi chipped his tooth walking into a glass door. However, after Jani tells this to Mike, her phone "privileges" with Michael reduced to 10 minutes. This violates the custody agreement - Michael's communication with his children isn't to be restricted in any way.
Cory and Susan claiming the Bodhi chipped the tooth on an outing to the mall while running into a door with one of their many volunteers. Uh, the "s/he ran into the door!" excuse is a little old fashioned, but okay.
On December 10th, Susan tells Michael the chipped tooth was bonded. We don't hear any more about this, but the fact that Jani was punished for even mentioning the tooth is extremely suspicious. Michael thinks so, too.
In another call, Jani reveals to Michael in a call that Bodhi was held in a freezing shower as punishment for not being able to control his bowels.
Jani did not realize she was not supposed to say something like this to Michael. As punishment, her phone was taken away, and her calls with her father stopped. This violates the child custody agreement, which stipulates that the parents have joint custody and no restrictions on either parents' access to the children. Michael had no idea why he was suddenly unable to reach his daughter. Once Jani gets her phone back, she reveals to Michael that her phone was taken as punishment for revealing Bodhi's shower punishment.
This leads to a shower punishment of Jani's own, one which leads to injuries over both her legs and one arm at a minimum (and probably the majority of her body). While this isn't revealed right away, the Schofield-Cabana's don't cease to film during this period of time, so we are able to see Jani injured in the videos. Cory and Susan give some really, absolutely, mind boggling excuses as to why Jani is not injured and who you gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes, girl?
On Sunday, December 2nd, we get a video where Jani is visibly limping, and audibly saying "ow", while trying to walk to her mother's car after church.
[INSERT VIDEO: 2018-12-02 Jani limping and injured]
People notice Jani's pain and strange gait, and ask what's wrong. We get both Susan and Cory chiming in (unusual) to tell us that that Jani is definitely "running" in this video and not limping slowly, that Michael also runs like he's just been pushed off a cliff so this is an inherited condition, she just runs all stupid! And CPS is definitely not onto them, nope, no way! Don't you bothering calling, either! View attachment 662976View attachment 662977View attachment 662978
After that, they decided not to send Jani to school for a few days. The injuries are too noticeable. And they need an alibi.
By Wednesday, December 5th, Jani is still being kept home from school. Susan films another video, ostensibly another "homeless" interview with Gary. Jani tells Gary she's home because she's sick. Susan shrieks at her to tell Gary exactly why she's staying home ("Sick with WHAT?") and Jani is then coached to tell a homeless man, on camera, that she has cramps.
[INSERT VIDEO: 2018-12-05 Jani kept home from school after injury]
At the time, people are appalled just because of the awful boundary violations. Cory assures us that Jani is incapable of experiencing the emotion of embarrassment. View attachment 662981
Cory brags that the children have no boundaries whatsoever. Abusive parents love to break down any boundary a child might try to erect to save themselves from harm. Cory thinks it's a point in his and Susan's favor that their children don't have any. They don't allow Jani to keep one even if she tries to set it - like, say, by telling someone she's sick instead of embarrassing herself by telling a man who isn't her father or a close family member that she has cramps. View attachment 663046
Little did we know where this was headed.
Anyway, 2 week after the first video of Jani limping and her parents saying she's just running, they made a video on 12/11/18 of her. She's perfectly capable of running normally if she isn't severely injured.
[INSERT VIDEO: 2018-12-11 Jani can run fine if uninjured]
On 12/14/18, more evidence of Jani's physical injuries from abuse were published by the Schofield-Cabanas, while pretending normalcy.
By December 14th, Jani was back at school. Susan even filmed her doing her homework, and in this video the injuries to her left arm are visible, thought Jani dutifully tries to keep it hidden under the table until the very end. At 0:25, you can see the arm fully.
[INSERT VIDEO: 2018-12-14 Jani's burned left arm still visible]
This wasn't noticed by sharp eyed viewers until the abuse was revealed; Susan and Cory must have thought they'd get away with it at this point.
But as soon as Jani returned to school, her very visible injuries were noticed by a teacher or aide on December 14th, the same day Susan filmed the video where Jani's arm is visibly injured. When asked by this person about the injuries, Jani said that she had been held in a scalding hot shower by her mother - as punishment for telling Michael why her phone "privileges" had been taken (recall: phone was initially taken for telling Mike about Bodhi's abuse.)
The pictures of Jani's injuries, taken by DCFS, show Jani's outer left leg, from mid-thigh to ankle, as solidly bright red. Her left forearm is less red, more splotchy. From what our Leak heard, it looked like a scald. Jani was probably burned on her body as well, though the teacher could not see. This is why Jani was limping in the earlier video - she was so injured, walking was difficult.
But Cory and Susan had planned for this. Susan had dragged Jani to Urgent Care shortly before DCFS arrived to tell a doctor that Jani had urine burns and got a cream for her, to give herself an alibi. In fact, Susan even scored an extra 30 days of thorazine from this urgent care doctor - because she could't trust Jani not to keep her mouth shut, Jani's extra punishment was to be put back on thorazine until she could be more compliant. From this post by one of our KiwiLeaks.
From this post: At a second interview with DCFS away from her parents, Jani still denied her original story of being burned in the shower. This was after extra thorazine and coaching, obviously. The Urgent Care doctor said Susan reported Jani had been wetting the bed a lot lately, and he agreed the injuries were consistent with urine burns. DCFS does not close the care at this point, but it looks like they will.
And while all this is happening, Bodhi's general condition continues to deteriorate.
January 2019
By December 18, 2018, Bodhi is in bad shape. Michael and DCFS are one in wanting to see Bodhi's doctor to talk about his medication: DCFS agrees with Mike that Bodhi appears to be overmedicated. Susan agrees, but then the dance begins: she will totally cooperate! Or will she?
Michael wants Bodhi's meds to be re-evaluated; he arranges with the DCFS case worker for himself, the case worker, and Susan (and Cory) to go to an appointment with a new psychiatrist, because Dr. Syed Tahir Rizvi of Kaiser Permanente is too busy to see the small child he place on large doses of clozaril. They get an appointment on 1/2/19, right after the holidays, because this is an urgent issue.
But when the day of the appointment approaches, Susan cancels it, and reschedules for 1/14/19. This just so happens to be when the DCFS agent said she'd be on vacation. Oh, and now it's only an appointment via Skype. Michael books a ticket to fly out there anyway; this is urgent.
Oh, you say you scheduled a flight, Michael? That's too bad, Susan JUST rebooked the appointment again for 1/28/19! Susan cancelled and rescheduled the appointment twice in one day, trying to shake DCFS and Michael from attending. Unfortunately for her, the DCFS case worker is available that day, and Michael changes his flight once more. This appointment stands.
Remember all of Susan's appointment changes with this doctor. She's perfectly capable of both calling, and using the online scheduler. This will be relevant later.
But before the re-evaluation appointment can take place, Bodhi's white blood cell count and neutrophils plummet; this means he cannot take any more clozapine. The clozapine is stopped 1/22/19.
Susan pretends this is exactly what she wants: Bodhi off clozapine. However, she proceeded to completely ignore the fact that her son was in a painful and confusing withdrawal from a powerful anitpsychotic, AND the fact that he was severely immunocompromised. She takes him to a loud party:
After the meds are taken from her, Susan claims she never wanted all those dirty meds, it was the mean ol' doctors who made her get them! Now she was always concerned about overmedication, but only listened to her doctors
Now, there's ample proof of Susan wanting Bodhi on clozapine for years, all the way back through the night in 2013 where she called the White House at 2 am to demand to speak to Michelle Obama, whom Susan thought could force UCLA to give her the meds she wanted (the video of Susan doing this is already posted in the OP).
Here are the more recent shills by both Cory and Susan for clozapine, and more medication in general, to counter Susan's very recent backtrack.
Cory, September 2018: "because of the medication, Bodhi is most present than he has been in several years". He tells people they're totally wrong that B looks very unwell and overmedicated. View attachment 662932
Cory, 9/15, on how clozaril is super great, and that Bodhi is better all the time on it, and that without it, Bodhi would attack and kill at will. View attachment 662936
11/13/18 Bodhi didn't sleep one night despite his huge dosages of meds, so instead of keeping him calm at home, Susan takes him out for a full breakfast at Denny's at midnight, where it's guaranteed he won't sleep. Susan uses this video to prove he's "impulsive" and needs lithium in addition to his current med list.
[INSERT VIDEO: 2018-09-30 Susan coaches Jani to request more meds for bodhi]
Even after Bodhi is taken to hospital 1/25/19, Susan bewails that he wasn't given lithiumwith his clozaril to artificially raise his white blood cell count and mask the damage clozaril was doing. But then says Bodhi was overmedicated and it's all the doctors' fault. View attachment 663080
IN PROGRESS WILL UPDATE TOMORROW WITH NEW VIDEO LINKS AND ALSO THE STUFF THIS MONTH. I have them all, they're being uploaded to Mega.
EDIT 2: shit all the images got messed up. I'll figure it out.
Yep, Cory took down the post. Dr. Phil probably ordered them not to post ANYTHING about the show or the kid's treatment, and his people probably threatened to sue him to take it down.
Cory must be having second thoughts about all of this now. Dr. Phil show did not turn out to be such a gold mine after all and now they have to parent an active non medicated autistic boy for real. The marriage will soon be on the edge.
The bitch gets laughed off staged and Big man Cory goes running after Dr. Phil. I never been so excited to see a Dr. Phil episode in my God forsaken life.
