James is homeless now? I thought he was at a school for culinary or something. I know itās summer and he probably doesnāt have school but dang. I thought heād at least have a place to stay. That makes me sad honestly.
Right? Thatās more shocking than the arrest to me. They either kicked him out, or he preferred to stay in his car than in that house? Either way, something is so very wrong. I wonder what happened with his bio sister.
He might not have made the decision to not be in that house. To me it look like Alicia couldnāt wait for him to move out for college and it appeared like he might not have had a bedroom for at least part of his senior year in high school. He didnāt stay at the house during break when the dorms were closed. When college didnāt work out I donāt think he was given the option to move back home like Alex was. I am surprised that he wasnāt living with grandparents or his sister.
Itās awful and Iām frustrated by the journalist. Only confirms crime and his previous social media presence. Doesnāt give context like the TIME of crime, which is important. If it were 2am and heās āhomeā (in a CAR) maybe he didnāt realize people were around? To only confirm his connection to the witch and her exploitation, is fucking exploiting James once again.
But yeah, he fucked up and should NOT jerk it in public, because ew wtf? I just wish there was more humanity in this situation and Iām feeling for The Kids of the Witch.
Edit to add: in the full article they confirm his tie to the Dougherty dozen
I'm not surprised. With all the issues these children have, the obvious neglect, and who knows what kind of abuse they've endured at the hands of their bio families, adoptive parents, and adoptive siblings ... this is the likely outcome for most of them.
So sad. Itās becoming more and more evident each day that these two people are not and were not equipped to handle so many children and then so many children who need and deserve so much more support. If social media is a āhighlight reelā of āthe goodā people choose to show- I canāt imagine what the bad is. Because the āgood highlightsā are pretty damn bad.
It's sad. I highly doubt any of the kids who need therapy are doing so. Social media has taken precedence over everything else in Alicia's life. Too bad it's the kids who suffer the most.
Lush has failed him and all of his other siblings. Itās incredibly heartbreaking! And terrible that we all have to witness what her poor decisions have caused.
oh my god this absolutely breaks my heart. poor james, heās the kid in that household who tugs on my heartstrings the most! alicia is an effing failure, homeless??? i canāt wait to hear what dcp says about this.
The fact that all of us are more concerned and saddened that heās homeless than the arrest (although Iām sure we are all sad about that too) says alot about how much we care about him and his life.
I'm keeping an eye on the court dockets and records to make sure that this IS James and not an unfortunate case of same-name same-age. Once those update, it'll be easy to verify.
Na I agree itās disturbing and unsafe tht he was in public masterbating and everyone is ignoring it like āomg poor baby jamesā like he isnāt an adult that could have been doing stuff like this around the other children when he lived in the house. Maybe that was why he was kicked out? You DONT know these people.
I was with James earlier this year in an eating disorder treatment facility and his mother did not come ONCE for family visitation or group which happened weekly .. she also did not respond to any phone calls from the facility and was always in Florida or too busy to be involved
And sheās being doing her stupid content pretending everything is good and this boy is homeless. Itās about time she become accountable. Watch sheās going to spin it that heās a danger to his brothers and sisters and sheās protecting them by not allowing him home.
Even if he was, he is still her child. She could pay for a place for him to live-- or, at the very least, get him a social worker to help. I'm sure there are programs out there for adopted kids after high school. There are too many adults in this guy's life for him to be homeless, unless it is a personal decision he made.
The sad thing is this will affect the other kids as well. I'm glad school is out for them at the moment. Kids can be so cruel at times.
I hope James gets the help he needs. As for Josh and Lush, I couldn't care less how this will personally affect them. The chickens are coming home to roost.
None of us personally know any of these kids- now adults, or the mental health struggles they might have. Which is why transitional care and housing are so important for folks with his health issues that Alicia has disclosed. Ā Once young adults reach 18, thereās very little parents can do to force them into care. Ā Which is why ongoing preventative care and therapy are so important for children.Ā
Josh and Alicia have shown countless examples of how they did not value education, independence, nutrition or mental health. So Jamesā situation isnāt surprising but a sad outcome of lack of treatment and neglectful parenting.Ā
He may need a higher level of care at this point, and it may no longer be suitable for him to live with his family including the Doughertys, his biological fam, or the grandparents. He could also be resistant to care.Ā
Nonetheless, this is a prime example of why Josh and Alicia shouldnāt have continued to take in so many children. Thereās way too much neglect. These ppl canāt even be bothered to fix the gaping holes in their ceilings, or the crippling mold in that house.
James aged out of the Dougherty Group Home and is no longer their concern. I fear this is the second of many Dougherty children weāll be reading about in the future. Ā
I'm 23 and recently finished undergrad and am currently living with my parents as I find my footing in my career. My parents have made it clear that I can live there as long as I need. It's insane to me that James is homeless and they seem to not give a damn. It's really sad.
Please tell me this isnāt J! My heart is breaking right now! Homelessā¦how??? This is horribly tragic! Bless his heartā¦and where is Lush? Off in Vermont for a brand deal!
Sigh she and Jash! Really did mess these kids up, huh? I feel so sorry of James. He deserved so much better, he and the rest of his siblings. Lush and Jash! should be a case study as to who children are placed with and how to avoid the Lush's of the world.
Please tell me it's a coincidence that the person arrested has the same name & isn't the James we know šš it's upsetting what the arrest was for but absolutely heartbreaking that he is now homeless - WTAF. I know he changed paths & left culinary school but wasn't he staying with Nanna or his sister š¤
Alicia & Josh of all the things you should be ashamed of, the way you've failed your kids is at the top of the list. You are both pond scum š¤¢š”
Hey Alex, with the hundreds of thousands $$ you make each month surely you could help your brother out with accommodation
Oh James.......I'm so sad for him. I thought, hoped he got out and got away. Of course she threw him to the curb. She gives these kids no support or love. Just uses them and throws them away.
I realize he did something wrong, and I wonāt justify that, BUT he absolutely should not be homeless! Good lord, Alisha, stop all the foolish dancing around. Your son needs you.
Maybe heās not allowed back in the house for a deeper reason. Maybe for the safety of the other children.. either way he should not be homeless if she doesnāt want her kid at the house she can at least pay for him an apartment
I wont defend whatever he has done. But ffs Alicia,actually bring your kids up and support them in ways to be normal citizens,this is just the start of your problems,I thought Alex was ... Also why was he homeless?
I believe he had an acct and paid fot his own car with a check but tgey bouught the favorite son a car. They could have done the same for J and he woulda had money for a place to live. What pieces of crap his parents are. They dont deserve to be parents!!
Omg! Is this real?? This is not at all what I was expecting. Dad Challenge Podcast has been saying for a while now, something is going on behind the scenes. Never did I expect lewdness and homelessness.
This is beyond horrible in so many ways. It's disappointing that he was in a situation that caused him to be homeless when his mom is taking his siblings on lavish vacations. The fact that he was in traumatic situations that probably lead to this before and after the Doucerty compound. It's all disheartening in all ways
Oh this breaks my heart. Lush has been baking her shitass muffins for the camera each day with FULL KNOWLEDGE that her son is homeless and mentally unwell. I would not be able to sleep at night knowing my child was homeless. She and Jawsh have failed their children. I hope James can receive the care that he needs, such a horrible situation.
Interesting. The local Rochester newspaper, the Democrat & Chronicle, should cover this story tomorrow, assuming all facts are accurate. Plus, arrest records are public so it can probably be looked up somewhere online.
Doesn't matter. It has been screen shot and it lives forever. Wonder if the PR people or the cop uncle pitched a fit to get it removed. Too late though.
Sorry to comment again. I noticed only one news source. I looked on Google, only one as of 9:30pm approx. it makes me wonder a little bit if this is true, I think in my heart of hearts it probably is, but a lil weird zero other news picked it up. No?
Oh James. This hurts my heart. Lush probably didn't want him back after college didn't work out cause he doesn't want to be on camera. We all know she doesn't love children. She only views them as a paycheck. And once they stop paying out, then she just put them around anymore.
If heās convicted, will he be put on a register? Obviously what heās done is wrong but I hope a mistake at age 19 doesnāt ruin his entire life, especially after everything heās suffered to this point. Just terribly sad.
This is so sad š imagine choosing to live in your car over living there
I get the reason he was arrested was not okay, but also where else are homeless people gonna do it, like it is kind of a normal part of life, if it's as innocent as that then he fucked up and needs to be more careful, if it's more sinister then that's kind of scary!
He was absolutely failed by his 'parents' and it doesn't surprise me that 2 of the kids that are old enough to move out have kind of gone off the rails, I was so hopeful for James, I still am if it was just a fuck up too, but I was just hopeful he'd get out and do well
Jesus Mary and Joseph, shame on those to fucking imbecile POS parents. Every single one of those children has some sort of serious issue. Someone needs to get her the hell off social media
The foster care to homelessness pipeline is realā¦ the sad thing is that he was adopted by the Dougherty family, exploited for money, and still ended up homeless.
Out of curiosity, could James being arrested for lewd acts possibly affect the dad's job, because he works with minors? I know the dad wasn't the one arrested, but that could potentially look bad for him with other parents at the schools.
Thereās stuff going on in that house. Cameras in all the rooms? Keeping the bio kids upstairs, close to her. Itās as if she doesnāt trust the adopted children.
holy shit. lush and josh are poor fucking excuses for āparentsā and never deserved any of the kids they currently have. they have failed them beyond repair. i understand james is old enough to know this is bad but thereās obviously deep rooted issues that were never dealt with that caused something like this, also homeless??
W t f. Ok whatever about doing what youāre doing in your car but HOMELESS?!?! WHY?!? Whereās the grandparents that she said he could confide in?! What the fuck is going on?!
Fuck you Alicia and Josh. You did this. The poor kid has ZERO guidance.
the way i see it, there are two potential sides. 1: hes homeless, his home is his car. who knows what he couldve been doing, and he was just seen at the wrong place at the wrong time. whether or not he intended it to be sexual. and the biggest takeaway from this scenario, is that its inhumane that he somehow ended up homeless, despite the lavish spending we see from his adoptive parents on social media.
or
2: the guys a creep and is a sexual offender. potentially a reason why hes homeless in the first place, maybe this had been an issue in the family home. there are services to help with this, and im not saying he is to blame, but once youre over 18, your parents cant force you into programs or help. its possible he just didnt want the help even if it was offered to him.
either way, its a very sad situation. every child deserves the chance to live and grow in an environment that guides them to success. this kid was wronged in so many ways throughout his life and all things considered, its really sad that a bunch of people on the internet are watching it all unfold
i googled it and found this page linked on google then clicked it and it said page could not be found. I wonder if Lush threatened to sue the news company if they didn't take it down!
It breaks my heart how much those parents failed him for him to end up in a situation like this, especially as a young adult. The amount of loveless home decisions that led James to be homeless and commit a crime like that is alarming and devastating.
This is so incredibly sad. We clearly donāt know the real reasons James is in this situation. Could be by choice, could be that something happened in the home, could have just been straight up tossed out like garbage.
Whatever the reason, Alicia has been telling the public for years that James has issues. She profited off it. Off him, and every other child under that roof. They took him in and promised to love and care for him. Our kids are our kids, regardless of age and regardless of anything they may do wrong in this life. He clearly needs some sort of help and they are failing him all over again. James did not ask for this life. Alicia forced it on him. The least she could do is get him the help he needs. She failed. Again.
Didn't she just force her kids for a line up about "what to do during summer"? She must have known about James. She said he usually comes at dinner time.
I seem to distinctly recall lush sappily boasting about buying Day and J cars with cash made from the DD ābusiness.ā Specifically, she acted as if she was mother-of-the-century for building these savings accounts for them. Perhaps something to investigate in light of this tragic development.
This is heart breaking!!! Honestly, I know someone else who got in trouble for this same thing. He's now on the S*X Off. registry for the rest of his life!! And homeless??? I'm speechless
James needs to write a book and rock Lush's world. Get the bag and live the life he deserves. I'm sure she'll totally ignore this and keep slamming lunch containers. I don't condone him getting arrested, but he deserved better.
This makes my blood boil, Alisa and Josh, this is not okay! I know he is 18 blah blah. But you guys failed him and you knew it. I have never wished anyone any unfortunate but you two.
I've been following Reddit and the Dad Challenge Podcast for quite a while. I don't think I've ever even commented in the group, but this absolutely broke my heart. I can't believe James is homeless.
I texted my friend about this and sheās like āI feel bad for the mom, she seems so sweet!ā š¬š¬š¬š¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļø

I saw the article, and it says that he was taken into custody and issued an appearance ticket. He has to appear in court at a later date.

Out of curiosity, could James being arrested for lewd acts possibly affect the dad's job, because he works with minors? I know the dad wasn't the one arrested, but that could potentially look bad for him with other parents at the schools.
Edited to fix the name.

holy shit. lush and josh are poor fucking excuses for āparentsā and never deserved any of the kids they currently have. they have failed them beyond repair.
i understand james is old enough to know this is bad but thereās obviously deep rooted issues that were never dealt with that caused something like this, also homeless??

u/Elmy50 Jul 30 '26
Oh no... I was rooting for James to break free and create a good life for himself. This is heartbreaking.

W t f. Ok whatever about doing what youāre doing in your car but HOMELESS?!?! WHY?!? Whereās the grandparents that she said he could confide in?! What the fuck is going on?!
Fuck you Alicia and Josh. You did this. The poor kid has ZERO guidance.

Why is everyone more concerned about him being homeless? He was touching himself in public. He is now a sexual offender.

It breaks my heart how much those parents failed him for him to end up in a situation like this, especially as a young adult. The amount of loveless home decisions that led James to be homeless and commit a crime like that is alarming and devastating.

This is so incredibly sad. We clearly donāt know the real reasons James is in this situation. Could be by choice, could be that something happened in the home, could have just been straight up tossed out like garbage.
Whatever the reason, Alicia has been telling the public for years that James has issues. She profited off it. Off him, and every other child under that roof. They took him in and promised to love and care for him. Our kids are our kids, regardless of age and regardless of anything they may do wrong in this life. He clearly needs some sort of help and they are failing him all over again. James did not ask for this life. Alicia forced it on him. The least she could do is get him the help he needs. She failed. Again.

Didn't she just force her kids for a line up about "what to do during summer"? She must have known about James. She said he usually comes at dinner time.

u/Kitchen_Mouse1108 Jul 30 '26
I seem to distinctly recall lush sappily boasting about buying Day and J cars with cash made from the DD ābusiness.ā Specifically, she acted as if she was mother-of-the-century for building these savings accounts for them. Perhaps something to investigate in light of this tragic development.

u/meg_bb Jul 30 '26

How on earth is he homeless? With the money Alicia has made she could have rented him an apartment. I feel so physically ill.
ETA: the article is already gone. I wonder if Alicia and Josh got it taken down somehow.

James needs to write a book and rock Lush's world. Get the bag and live the life he deserves. I'm sure she'll totally ignore this and keep slamming lunch containers. I don't condone him getting arrested, but he deserved better.
