- Jon and Kate divorced in 2009 and Kate was granted full custody of her kids. Collin claims that following Jon's departure, Kate began to be physically aggressive and verbally abusive towards him.
- "When my mother would put me in that room multiple times, she had zip-tied my hands and feet together and bolt locked the door, turned the lights off and had cameras there just watching me," he claimed.
- Collin was eventually sent to an "inpatient behavioral health center" in 2016 by Kate for "violent behavior" without Jon's knowledge (he was told that Collin didn't want to see him). Allegedly, Kate never once came to visit him. Collin was eventually able to smuggle a note out to his dad about where he was and what was going on. Jon removed Collin from the center after about 2 years and sued Kate for full custody. Kate didn't show up to the custody hearing, so Jon received full custody of Collin. Jon also gained full custody of Collin's sister, Hannah. The twins and the other four sextuplets remained with Kate.
- Kate has not seen Collin since she dropped him off at the facility when he was in sixth grade. He is now 20.

I loved this show back in high school and I have been sick to my stomach since I read this earlier. TLC continues to produce the worst people.
