Candy Waters is a 16-year-old girl with autism. She is nonverbal. For years, she has been hailed for her unique, colorful art in various forums and sites dedicated to parents of children with autism.
Her mother, Sandy (pictured) sells her art on Zazzle where you have the choice of buying "Candy's artwork" on shoes, shirts, yoga pants, canvases -- Sandy even created a book that they are now selling on Amazon.
Recently, people started suggesting that maybe Candy wasn't creating the art at all. Maybe her mother Sandy was the actual artist. Of course, Sandy denies it, but whenever anyone questions anything on her page, she deletes and blocks that person.
There are sites dedicated to exposing Sandy of exploiting her daughter, but as long as she keeps deleting the comments that question the art's authenticity, she'll keep making money hand over fist off the back of her child.
For this scammer to accuse us that we are picking on her daughter is a laugh but yet Sandy don't hesitate to make vicious lying attacks on us where many of us are disabled or is Autistic. What a hypocrite! We have only told the truth of this scam and how Sandy is ripping people off by exploiting her daughter. This woman is a bigger liar than Donald Trump and can't seem to get past the lies so she can continue to exploit her daughter.
My feelings. Sandy is a lunatic with a serious mental disorder slowly destroying her severely Autistic daughter. You can see how Sandy treats her daughter because she is in dirty clothes and have to deal with sensory issues. God, I wish there is something I can do to bring Candy's misery and Sandy's Scamming and lying to an end. But this lunatic mother is undeterred. So it's going to take a stronger force than us to stop this crazy woman.
They are now going have my nonprofit of 14 years by name and my name along with links, sharing the same posts over and over, similarly to a poster above.
In February 2016, the mom and dad proceeded to research me via google. They paid for my personal unpublished address and posted it to their own wordpress blog where they falsely labeled me as a "pedophile" cyberbullying their "child who is a minor with autism". I am an activist and established artist with a large exhibition history. They took it upon themselves to research and contact every gallery I have shown with, every employer I have worked/currently work for, and demanded my termination. They claimed, again, that I am a "pedophile" "cyberbullying" their "child who is a minor with autism". They even contacted my town's mayor. They published multiple webpages, directing my coworkers to them, where they continually made such false claims. They threatened to orchestrate a boycott of each company they contacted regarding me, if they did not immediately "stop using my services". They actually went after an art therapy documentary I supported through kickstarter and orchestrated a boycott campaign against it and its director. My only involvement in the film was that I made a financial contribution and they gave me an honorary title as a kickstarter "reward". I had no creative involvement in the film and when the director explained that, he too was attacked and harassed.
This went on for nearly a year. I filed multiple reports with my local precinct. They were ordered to cease all defamatory posts using my name. They then proceeded to go after my relatives and their own separate businesses. They have also attacked numerous autistic artists in an effort to disguise their own scandal by publishing blogs falsely attributed to me that used my first name and initials.
