Utah teen becomes TikTok famous after barricading in room to avoid court order

A 15-year-old Utah boy has become TikTok famous after barricading with his sister inside a room at their mother’s house in order to avoid a judge’s order to reunite with their allegedly abusive father, according to a report.

In one TikTok clip last month, Ty said he was abused sexually and emotionally by his father until the age of 11, when he disclosed the allegations. He said his sister, now 12, also faced abuse when she was younger. He was slapped with restrictions related to his kids following those findings, though he did not face criminal charges.

Instead, Larson claims his ex-spouse and the children’s mother, Jessica Zhart, sabotaged his relationship with the kids through “parental alienation,” which is a disputed theory when one parent tries to brainwash their children to dislike the other parent. But the judge agreed with the claim and ruled Zhart’s conduct has caused the children’s “abuse narrative” leading to the “reunification therapy,” ProPublica reported. He wants the children and father to undergo a reunification process at a facility out of state.However, Pullan won’t allow Brent Joel Larson to spend unsupervised or overnight time with the children, and the kids must stay at their paternal relatives’ homes pending more court orders during time at the reunification camp.

He also said his dad threatened to kill his mother and sister if he told anyone about the abuse, ProPublica reported.
