we’re going to Rogersville, Tennessee—more specifically, the Beach Creek community, which nestles between the towns of Rogersville and Kingsport in Hawkins County. We’re going to talk about the case of a little girl who was then five years old, called Summer Moon Utah Wells.

Many of you will know her very well. She has been missing for over four years. On June 15th, 2021, sometime in the afternoon, she went out playing—and she’s never been seen again.

There is a Facebook group that is the official Wells family page. In recent months, this Facebook group has not been about Summer at all. Summer is lost. They try to make it about Summer, they try to include Summer, but really it’s gripes and snipes at the DCS—Child Protection Services in Tennessee.

They’re talking about Summer’s brothers. Her brothers were taken into CPS custody just over a month after Summer disappeared. Don Wells, Summer’s dad, would have you believe that it’s because of YouTubers. They wanted the boys to be taken to a safe place because of all the nonsense that was going on online. That’s their story.

What really happened? We don’t know—because CPS cases, quite rightly, are private. But the boys never returned home. Apparently, according to the Wells family, they had a bunch of stuff they needed to do—like tidy up their house, make it safe, do parenting classes, and get their addictions under control.

They didn’t. They didn’t do those things. And they lost the boys. The two younger boys have been adopted now. But the elder boy, who is 16, is up for adoption. In fact, there is a video of him and some information about him on an adoption website.

He is up for adoption.

I don’t like it. I honestly don’t like it. It’s like a rescue puppy. But then again, how do adoption services get the message across that there are children needing permanent new homes—if they don’t advertise?

But in terms of the Wells, this is what I want to talk about in this video. Not Summer directly, but her family—because what has gone down recently does impact Summer. I’ve done a video about this already, but it’s been brought up again on the “Find Summer Wells” Facebook group, so we’re going to discuss it further.

This, in my opinion, is nothing but emotional blackmail.

Let’s go.

All right, so there are a couple of posts I want to draw your attention to. The first one—the longer one—is from June 28th, just a couple of days ago. These posts are clearly written by Tim Mullen.

Who’s Tim Mullen?

Tim Mullen is the “media manager.” He befriended Don Wells. He’s a self-styled media manager, and he runs this page. There’s also a website that he runs. This is clearly, in my opinion, written by Tim Mullen. It’s certainly not written by Don or Candace—I don’t think.

Here’s part of what was posted:

“Our church friends were on the property helping our boys. DCS never talked to them, our church, or our pastor after Summer disappeared.”

Well, why would they need to? That’s the question.

“Do they hate the 7th Day Adventist? Or were they just so hungry to intervene in Summer’s case? Were they judging us with their lust to get our boys? Score! We got all three. Rather, they got all three.”

This is the line they’ve been going down for months—if not years—that DCS kidnapped their children. They’ve even implied that they may have taken Summer, because according to Don Wells, DCS visited the home on June 14th, 2021—just one day before Summer disappeared.

It was a complaint made against the family. DCS came, talked to them, and cleared them. No action was taken. Then, just 24 hours later, Summer went missing.

So, there’s been this theory that DCS stole Summer and then engineered a situation where they could also steal the boys. I think that’s a bit wild.

“DCS absolutely distracted and hindered us from law enforcement to focus on what happened to Summer.”

That sentence doesn’t make sense.

“They then took three of the five witnesses away.”

Look—just because three of the five witnesses who were there the day Summer disappeared (the three boys, Candace, and Grandma) were taken off the property to live elsewhere, doesn’t mean they’re no longer witnesses.

They would have been questioned—likely multiple times—by forensic psychologists who are experts in interviewing children.

“We needed our sons. They needed us. Together, we needed to work at finding Summer. DCS was a cancer of distraction. They left us raw, shattered, suicidal—to an empty house, stripped of any outlet for our emotions.”

They “kidnapped” fatherhood and motherhood from us when we needed it most. They left us with the death sentence of silence in our home.

Yeah, but Don—you said yourself at the time that the environment wasn’t safe for children. If you wanted your boys back, then a level of compliance was needed. You didn’t do that.

So, there’s that.

This is emotional blackmail—directed at the boys. Excuse after excuse, in my humble opinion.

“100 helpful resources in this area to help our sons, but DCS’s judgmental, untrained addiction for children-first stomped on every one of those resources as they knew better on how to handle an Amber Alert family.”

There’s no such thing as an “Amber Alert family.” Get that in your head, Tim.

“By legally trafficking our children from all they knew—how dare they distract us from Summer for four years.”

You distracted yourselves. If you wanted to go out and help find Summer, you could have done so, with or without the “distraction” of raising three boys.

“You could argue the path was clear—with no other responsibilities—so go find Summer. But you didn’t.”

No.

Then there’s the more recent post—just 10 hours ago as I record this. This one is direct emotional blackmail, in my opinion. It’s focused on the eldest boy—Summer’s older brother.

This, to me, is wrong. When they direct their words to the boys, I find it disconcerting—at the very least.

Why are you trying to communicate with your sons via Facebook?

Is it because you know they’ve got access to social media and are reading this stuff? Probably.

They wrote:

“Boys, in our grief and panic and fears, we were ignorant to ever allow this to happen to you. We died that day. They took you into their forever office.”

They’re apologizing for letting DCS take the boys.

“Jay, we’re so sorry they took you from your brothers. WMW, we’re sorry we couldn’t be there when you were in sorrow and frustration. They told us false things about each other. They played our fear and panic and grief against us.”

Very strong wording.

“We love you. We are proud of you. We never gave up on you. Don’t yield to wrong solutions. Grab God. You’re special. Summer knows how awesome you are.”

They then say they’ve found a high school willing to teach him biology or whatever he wants. They believe he should be returned.

But—he’s 16. Does he want to be returned?

That’s the question. And frankly, it’s none of my business. It’s none of your business either. It’s his choice.

In a couple of years, he’ll be an adult. Make those years count. Give him a future, a safe path. But is that going to be 110 Ben Hill Road? You’ve got to ask that question honestly.
