I see your point but there's a difference between talking and asking questions. Doesn't make sense to keep asking questions when you know you'll never get answers. Interviewer should've talked to Ray by complimenting him or telling him a story.

​@@blindthief I don't know. Ray was the one who went to the most effort to answer Mark's question about Freddy. a lot of non verbal disabled people are like people who can understand a language but not speak it. I wonder how much Ray would be able to say if he knew ASL (a lot of non deaf people use it).

Many of Ray’s mannerisms, and his apparent echolalia of the dogs around him, reminds me of my mostly nonverbal, autistic nephew. My nephew benefits immensely from going to school and working with speech pathologists who teach him how to communicate meaningfully, whether it’s through symbols / pictures, gestures, or some speech. It’s tragic to see his elderly man with so many similarities to my nephew and to wonder what stories he might be able to tell if he had access to the tools and support my nephew has.

And the fact he can communicate in his own way and shows intelligence when people show him attention proves alone he has some smarts there. If anyone called him stupid. I think they'd be very far off track. Just because he can't speak like the rest of us DOSENT mean he's dumb. And he clearly knows how to make himself understood. That shows decent intelligence.

Yes, I believe that he's aware. He seems happy, so there's no reason to feel sorry. He can't talk, that's perhaps frustrating at times, but he got his brothers and a neighbor by his side. What I try to figure out is if it's good to make a film about them. Yes, I was watching it to satisfy my curiosity, but they were clearly not seeking attention and that's why I feel sympathy. In this crazy media world where people have their lives downloaded and some go to the extreme to be seen and heard, the brothers feel fresh despite the junkyard that's their home. That's why I hope that they don't become a zoo.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Chris says he makes the videos to give the people he interview an opportunity to tell their stories. He's always nice and knows how to approach them. This guy here clearly doesn't know how to communicate with the Whitakers, and in all honesty I didn't understand the purpose of this video. I won't assume this was his intention, but it felt like he was trying to explore this family imo. Maybe because he doesn't know how to aproach them? Anyway, I hope their community treat this family with respect and that whatever social services they have in the area can help the Whitakers which whatever they may need to live the best they can.

To ANYONE leaving comments from Tyler's channel; please watch Mark's newest video regarding the situation!!! This family has taken OVER $100,000 from their donations AND they have also taken $25,000 from Mark personally. Mark ALSO paid the 37% taxes that were due on the donations. He could have just dumped the full amount in their laps and let them all get in trouble with the IRS at the end of the year... At the end of the day; Mark did all the paperwork for them and got the taxes done for the donations, sent them thousands of dollars every time they asked, AND sent them his own money when they used up all their donations. If you DON'T believe Mark; then you MIGHT believe the family in the center of this entire thing. Mark called the family at the end of his video and had them confirm that he sent them all the money. It came straight from the horses mouth.

(BTW he showed pictures of his bank account with proof of him sending money to the Whittakers; providing dates, exact $$ amounts, and the name of the account he sent the money to (which was the Whittakers). Regarding the chick lying; theres only a few logical reasons someone in her position would lie like that... Either she knows what is going on with the $$ and is just trying to con Tyler (and fans) into feeling bad for them and giving even more money (since they spent ALL of Mark's funds already)... OR, she really doesn't know what she's talking about and stuck her nose in the middle of the situation and ASSUMED that Mark just stopped giving them money and wouldn't send any more (which was NOT the case). I would LIKE to believe she is clueless and just thought Mark was to blame; BUT I have been on this earth for longer than a week and the fact that the fund began to stagnate with donations AND the Whittakers wasted ALL the money; she probably thought she could be slick and take advantage of Tyler by spinning the story that the Whittakers were these poor things that were cut-off by big bad Mark and he was dangling a house in their faces with no progress... The main woman in that household that was handling the money, Betty, took OVER 100k from the donations that were SUPPOSED TO go to the house(AND another 25k from Mark)... If you watch the multiple videos that Mark has made on them; you will see that he brings up the house quite often and asks Betty what the situation is on it and she just doesn't care... He's tried asking basic questions about the house ALOT and she would just shrug and say "i dunno" or "why are you asking?"... In later videos, he would mention the house was 220k and a really nice house with a fresh start. Betty would literally just ignore him and even act annoyed that he would bring it up in the later videos... He would mention to them that they need to start saving money up to get that house and Betty would look at him like he was annoying her... She doesn't want that house if she has to save that money to get it. She wants it to magically appear with a snap of the finger, no work. Since the GoFundMe was setup; she's been milking that fund dry and she knows it (mark called and asked her about all the money and she got frustrated he was asking her about it).

Yes, you are touching on something broader, also. Many people see communication as part of intelligence, but it is merely a correlation. There are many highly intelligent non-verbal autistic people and others as well. There are also more men, in general, that have communication issues.

You could tell Ray was a gentle guy. He was very patient about being asked the same questions over and over. He seems to love the dogs soo much he almost mimics their audible responses which makes sense if he prefers them to people. Im sure they know when someone is being invasive and don't like snoppers much. I can't blame them, people can be really shitty.

Ray kinda fascinates me. I would love to know, from a professional, how a human can be exposed to spoken language every day - he obviously understands everything - yet cannot form words. I don't understand. Some people have mentioned in the comments that he might have been abused, i.e. locked up with dogs, etc. Even if that was true, wouldn't he still be able to speak? I keep going back to the fact that he understands when spoken to. Fascinating, and so sad.

@@lilyflower9093 understanding language and being able to form words comes from the same area of the brain but is a different process. It's not unusual for developmentally delayed people to understand even multi step instructions, retain the info and perform the task but still not capable of communicating verbally without intensive speech therapy. It's entirely possible that he saw the dogs got what they needed with barking and physical cues that were easier for him to mimic than language.

When asked over and over about his brother, Freddy, he points outside, everytime!! His brother is buried under the flowers! He was trying to show/tell where his bro was, numerous times! Clearly he's intelligent enough to get frustrated! Feel for the man..not his fault he's on this earth, in this state of existence. Hope the best for this family.

@@Naomi.H.85 The journalist didn't say that. He said, "Oh, is that Freddy's grave?" It was just a bare patch of ground. Grave. No flowers. There was another bare patch of ground a little farther away, maybe another grave. It could be the family graveyard. I don't think Ray is more intelligent than anyone is assuming, no one said how intelligent he is but he's clearly severely handicapped. The journalist is asking him questions so he probably knows or thinks Ray can understand those questions, or maybe he is only reacting to one word he is familiar with, the name "Freddy." Say it enough times and he can lead you to the grave and point to it. He pointed to himself in answer to "Ray." And he knows only one syllable, more of a grunt, it's either a ha or ya. Very sad state. I wonder who that man looking at the paper was? Another brother, but more normal and ignored by the journalist. I wonder if the nephew's, Timmy, parents were any of the people in the video? That would mean his father and mother are also his uncle and aunt, just like the way it is with his uncles and aunts.

The community is ashamed. They are kept swept under a rug rather than getting help from the state, like special education for Ray, who may have learned how to speak with intervention. I cant imagine the other health problems these people must have. I dont doubt that individuals within their community have helped them in small ways, but the community as a whole (and by that I could mean the state of WV) seems okay to just.. host their pets.
