Local authorities are investigating the "well-being" of Huxley Stauffer, the adopted son of YouTubers, Myka and James Stauffer.

The Stauffers faced backlash last week after they announced they were permanently placing their son, Huxley, with another family

The couple adopted Huxley from China in 2017 and said they were not aware the extent of his special needs when they brought him home

According to Myka Stauffer, Huxley was diagnosed with a stroke in utero, has level 3 autism and sensory processing disorder

The couple has been posting videos since at least 2014, both on Myka's individual channel and their joint account, The Stauffer Life, and Myka built her following by posting parenting YouTube videos detailing the process of adopting a child from China
