 | Daniel Larson has been deemed to be an unreliable narrator. Reason given: "Daniel is known to lie about many things, his parents included. It's highly debated if he was truly abused or not, but according to what is available, it is most likely he himself was the abuser and not his mother, given the fact she was paralyzed for the majority of his life." Bear this in mind and think before taking their statements at face value. |
| “ | Papa Gut I'm his mother.he lies he went to jail cause he hit me and his grandmother and his grandmother was dying | ” |
| “ | So, she actually deserved that one thing for what she did. | ” |
On the 6th of November 2017, a date which will forever live in infamy, Elisabeth Shimer, then paralyzed and in a wheelchair, was suddenly and deliberately struck by Daniel after she supposedly cornered him, resulting in Daniel Larson's first ever arrest. Due to this altercation, Daniel was placed under police custody, and after court, was sentenced to 44 to 45 days in jail for assaulting his mother.
This arrest substantiates claims of Daniel's violent behavior, even before his online activity, and more importantly, claims of Daniel frequently physically abusing his mother (and to a lesser extent, his grandmother). although, after this, it seems as though Daniel was placed under Nancy's care once more.
The Incident
| “ | After, basically, 15 years of my parents hitting me with belts, my dad asking me to smoke cigars as a child, I... um.. decided to push my mother out of the way one time when she cornered me, when I was 18, and they called that assault. | ” |
Daniel, in an interview conducted on July 8, 2021, elaborated on his side of the situation. [2]
At the beginning, Daniel claims that his time with his parents was a "traumatizing experience", elaborating on his state by stating his parents hit him with belts for 15 years, and even more, his father, Travis Larson, made him smoke cigars as a child. This is most likely not true, given Travis and Elisabeth's splitting in 2010, and Travis wanting absolutely nothing to do with Daniel. It's even more unlikely for his mother, given that she was in a wheelchair, and physically incapable of hitting him with belts, especially given that Daniel was taken away by the state of Colorado for being neglected due to her disability making it hard for her to care for him.
However, Daniel used his anger from these tenuous claims of abused as a justification for pushing his mother, which happened after she "cornered" him. After this, the authorities ended up being called, and 3rd degree assault charges were promptly pressed on Daniel. However, it's called into question if the only thing Daniel truly did was shove Elisabeth, as his charges say otherwise. According to his criminal record[3] and claims from Elisabeth,[4] Daniel did not only shove her, but also struck his wheelchair-bound mother.
3rd degree assault is defined as, "Assault in the third degree is the lowest tier of assault charges. It occurs when someone inflicts physical injury – a bodily impairment or substantial pain – on another person. The injury can be intentionally inflicted, but it can also result from recklessness or criminal negligence."[5] meaning that if the authorities were called, it means that Elisabeth endured physical abuse from Daniel to the point where she had injuries, justifying Daniel's sentencing to 45 days in jail. Despite this, Daniel adamantly claimed, quote, "she deserved that one thing for what she did".
After this, Daniel then claims that his charges were dropped and they "lifted the case" after he took the situation to court, though this is obviously untrue, given the nature of the assault, his sentencing, and that this incident was never expunged from his criminal record. Daniel, ironically, says that he wants to stop abuse against people with disabilities, which is ironic given his mother's deteriorating physical health.
