Horrorcow Susan Schofield Cabana, Cory Cabana, & Michael Schofield / Schofield Productions / @bipolarnation - A Tragicomic Tale of Psychiatric Munchausen's by Proxy

[Syo]

That point was made hardcore on the show. She's not qualified and her harassing Bodhi to tell her if he needed meds was brilliantly illuminated as to her crazy. Phil rammed that home.

Edited to avoid double posting: Based on Susan's text about giving Bodhi Thorazine a few hours after the show and "logging" it with the ABA Therapists, is she being actively monitored about what she gives Bodhi now? It doesn't seem to make much sense that she'd log it with the ABA they don't prescribe(but she probably feels more simpatico with them thus attempting to give her Thorazine dosing some credibility). She informed DCFS tho which makes me wonder if she was given specific drug parameters. She's never asked "permission" before that we've seen.

I find her logging things with "ABA" hilarious. ABA has nothing to do with meds, ABA is behavioral therapy based on operant conditioning, its why it can work so well regardless of intellectual ability.

The worst part about the Jani-being-totally-oblivious-to-any-and-all-social-cues-thing is that it could've been so easy to avoid it - even if she actually was schizophrenic (which she isn't) or had Asperger's. I mean, I've never met one single person with either of the diagnoses that scratch their privates in public, for example. Sure, maybe low functioning autists do, but Jani is not that. Not in a billion years. All it takes is some proper parenting. Hell, it doesn't even have to be great parenting - as long as it's parenting.

On a brighter note... Even at 16 I genuinely don't believe it's too late for Jani to learn not to touch her ass in public and some social norms such as that you're supposed to be sitting still and not act disturbing while going to a wedding. Too bad nobody's ever gonna teach her.

Most of the severely autistic people and people with down syndrome I've met can follow basic social rules, and they do, rigidly, because it's a skill they were taught. Sure, it doesn't come naturally, but that's why you teach them.

It's frustrating and sad seeing 14-year-old Jani with her hand in her ass cheeks and Bodhi picking his mouth apart because it was so preventable. These kids should have been so average.

Susan could have happened to any of us.

It was totally avoidable. With the exception of kids severely developmentally delayed children any child can learn to be social. Social intelligence is different from regular intelligence, it's unique. Even kids with down syndrome or very low IQs can be charming and get along with others. It's one of the reasons it's important to have kids to socialize outside of their family unit from 2-5 before they start school.

Of course Susan had ensured Jani was such a terribly behaved, tantrum throwing brat that they refused to discipline or correct when behaving badly that even if they had wanted to have her around other kids other parents would have probably not tolerated it. Parents understand kids act up and throw fits sometimes, what they don't tolerate is the parents of those children doing nothing to correct the behavior. The fact that Susan did nothing to discipline Jani and simply whipped out a camera to start filming her acting out and screaming about psychosis ensured no normal parents would let Susan 100 feet near their playgroups. It's tragic because Jani was bright and liked to please people. In non-susan controlled environments around others I think a young Jani would have picked up on the rules of social behavior and done well. But instead whenever she did get around other kids she had Susan egging on bad behaviors. The only time Susan seemed interesting having other kids for Jani to play with is if they were also "mentally ill." Susan didn't want to risk Jani learning any appropriate social behaviors and her not performing like the worlds youngest schizo.

It says a lot that Jani LOVED staying in psychiatric hospitals. Unfortunately she didn't really learn any good social lessons there because all she got was being the center of attention of many adults. If she acted up she got MORE attention. It reinforced some bad lessons she had already learned.

All the personality traits Jani has shown indicate she would have been very socially adept had she been away from her insane mother or even just provided some regular social interactions away from Susan. She was bright, enjoyed talking, likes to please people, seems to have a caring nature, etc... the entire reason we are discussing her is she had enough charm and charisma to have several TV shows focus on her so she had load of potential for being very socially adept but Susan would have never tolerated that. Jani was born to be Susan's performing monkey to provide her more attention and drama, the only flaw in Susan's plan was there was no off switch so she turned to drugs to give her a chemical off switch for her children.

She informed DCFS tho which makes me wonder if she was given specific drug parameters. She's never asked "permission" before that we've seen.

She wasn't asking permission - just like she did the first time Susan slipped Bodhi Jani's thorazine, she was asking forgiveness after the fact.

"Logging" things with ABA is Susan's attempt at covering her ass, because technically they are mandated reporters. But they have no idea what Bodhi is prescribed, and have no medical knowledge. They are there to practice skills with B, that's it. So Susan acting like "well ABA said it was fine, so obviously this is all above board!" is complete bullshit.

She thinks by telling on herself, she will gain credit with DCFS. Instead she's doing their job for them of logging her abuse.

Susan has admitted - nay, bragged - that she had absolutely no idea how a calculator worked, and once hired a tutor to teach Jani this mysterious skill. You see, using calculators falls under "science" for her, and she's adamant that she doesn't understaaaaand science.

Which makes her insistence that she knows exactly what psychiatric medications her children need to cure them (of moving and looking at things) extra baffling.

Exactly. I have read all 8 gazillion pages of this thread, and this has never been mentioned: she wrote in her book, and it was also said in Michael's book that she thought her prenatal urine was getting tested for iron. She is beyond stupid, and has no business pretending that she has any medical knowledge. I don't think she is smart enough to be MBP. She is just a manic, loony harpy. Oh, and a terrible parent. She gets ideas in her head and they become fixations, like Jesus coming out of the closet.

I find her logging things with "ABA" hilarious. ABA has nothing to do with meds, ABA is behavioral therapy based on operant conditioning, its why it can work so well regardless of intellectual ability.

Any staff like respite or ABA must keep logs of all the meds given (and usually food and fluid intake too). I'm sure a daily log book is kept in Susan's apartment that they all fill out. Susan's mental illness seems to make her think as long as someone is there "agreeing" with her (even if they aren't agreeing with her but just don't stop her or say anything) then it's fine to do whatever. I think her tiny brain then she's got someone "on her side" if there is drama about it.

Think how many times we've seen her ask Jani or babysitters if they think Bodhi needs more meds or is schizophrenic. Objective reality means nothing to Susan, it's all about people taking her side to make it okay or right. She spends a lot of time ensuring the few people in her world are on "her side." I think she picked up some of it from the mindless talk radio she listened to her at her old job. Dr. Phil would have been rough for her but it's just a shame Cory was there. Even just his dumb creepy ass "on her side" was enough to tolerate an audience full of disagreement and hostility but I think him going along with Dr. Phil was the reason Susan crumbled to pressures.

Once the show airs she will have already gone back to drugging the kids and probably have her YT channel back up if the show. The only reason I think that wouldn't happen is if the show threatens not to air the episode if she has her YT channel up, but that's probably wishful thinking. But the internet hate mobs will descend with speed and fury once it airs and it will be interesting to see Susan try to play the victim. I don't think she will have any vocal supporters after the show airs, because they won't want to mobs descending on them. It will be hard for her to resist the temptation of responding to it with videos because it would certainly pull in views and ad money for her channel. I'll be curious to see if she can withstand it (either by defending herself or more likely by trying to play the innocent victim) or just goes radio silent for a long spell.

Whoa, nice catch. That person must be someone that actually knows Cory IRL given the tone of the comment and the fact that Cory even responded. Maybe family? Seems like the Dr. Phil taping shit show fiasco has made it's way on the grapevine. More comments from Cory and that commenter below. They do not know Cory IRL but certainly let him have it.

Does anyone know when the Texas trip is supposed to take place?

She is there now I think

It was her unique and sacred connection with God that told her which drugs were necessary. For Susan is holier than thou.

At this point i don't even think Susan is interested in proving her kids are doing fine, she's interested in shit-flinging for drama's sake and nothing more.

There's more now, and they don't know Cory. Screen shot is in that link and this one, for some reason KF image uploads crapped out on me several months ago . Kyria certainly unloaded on Cory and put his BS in it's proper place.

 

[large_farva]

lmao... watching that "...someone is typing"

lol and that he keeps editing the comment. i've got screenshots of the edited bits, too.

 

[lameandgay2]

The Cabana Man is most definitely mad on the internet right now.

 

[Graphene]

That's me posting btw. I'll continue to engage him like this for as long as I can. He'll either block me, or will give up. I refuse to believe that Cory is incapable of seeing this for what it is, and instead of shitting on him, I'll use as much compassion as I can muster. Because that's how I roll.

Please be sure to mention that in older videos posted by Susan, Bodhi was so much more vocal and aware. Maybe he was more violent then too but he was also younger and many autistic kids do exhibit those bouts of violence. Other parents handle it in a much more different way. The measure of sanity shouldn't just be avoiding self-harm but also the capabilities of the person. Bodhi was much more capable in many regards (speech, movement, self-feeding) before Susan put him on Clorazil.

If I were you, I'd also harp on his liberal/progressive views. How can he as a liberal, "intelligent," and progressive person be party to such a clear violation of someone's privacy and dignity? Here not just with Jani and Bodhi but even the homeless people on the streets who Susan imposes a schizophrenia diagnosis on though they say otherwise. You can even say just as men should not be in control of women's fertility, who is Susan to be in control of random people's mental diagnoses? Where does the person's own autonomy come in? Does he as a liberal not believe in the basic ethos for human rights?

" he wasn't actively involved in using the toilet, he was just sitting"
-um but he was sitting on the toilet, that's the point. you filmed him on the toilet. doesn't matter if at that moment a log wasn't falling out, cory. sick fuck.

Weren't his pants down in the video too?

Probably, since the lid was up. They didn't show, though.

 

[lameandgay2]

I'd say the kids got significantly worse since the Cabana Man appeared on the scene now. I've been wondering what the triggering event was for a while.
I thought it was just during the YouTube hiatus originally but there's definitely a correlation between Cory moving in and the kids ending up more drugged.

This proves that Susan had gotten to a point with the drugging that the kids were quiet enough for her alone, but not yet quiet enough for her and her Sexy Cabana Man to fuck on mattresses (which is scummy to begin with) while watching Netflix.

Cory isn't just ignorant or slightly complicit here anymore, there has now come a point where he is directly involved and is just as bad as Susan.
Michael was NEVER this bad - I think he actually enjoys spending time with his children and children he cares about. Susan and Cory hate kids.

 

[Graphene]

If he couldn't stand why would they seat him on a toilet and not in a CHAIR?

 

[large_farva]

*Why would they be up with the lid up? there is just absolutely no context other than my best guess is susan heard him laugh and saw him look at the fan and that he was hallucinating, then got the camera out to prove it.


You can tell sometimes that Bodhi says something and she's hot to get the camera out, starting the video off with asking him to repeat what he just said.


Cory being mad on the internet is amusing, but remember Jani's there alone with him. He's already been shown to be an abuser.

ETA - im not participating in this fb convo, just taking screenshots of it. not even sharing those yet.

 

[Jd1]

“He wasn’t actively involved in using it” and a further excuse of he couldn’t stand...

That’s another lie because in the background of that very video, Cory can be heard saying:
“Shall we try him in the bath?”, Bodhi was
actively, if not struggling.. to use the toilet!

Yet again, utter fucking bullshit from Creepster.. the man is a habitual liar!

I hope to God Bodhi didn't poop in the bath again. The thought of him enduring a freezing cold shower as punishment makes me want to cry. A normal child would get angry/upset but Bodhi would just be terrified.
