TikTok video shows a stepfather helping stepson feel safe
Josue, an internet-famous stepfather popular for his moving parenting moments, helped his autistic stepson feel safe in a viral TikTok video. The clip, documented by his wife, showed the stepdad comforting his autistic stepson by joining him under the table. At first, he appeared to be sitting next to the chair with his plate while his stepson sat under the stool with a similar plate. Shortly after, he offered to hug his stepson while moving close to him and the two embraced in what looked like a comforting moment.
The text featured in the video introduces the context behind the clip. It reads, “How many aura points did my husband gain when he joined his autistic stepson under the table to help him feel safe.” Then, in the caption, she further describes the stepfather’s empathetic move to join their son “so he could feel safe and understood.” The post generated heavy engagement on the platform.
The comments in the video praised the stepfather for showing ideal parenting standards for his stepson. One commenter wrote, “That’s a FATHER” while another urged Tanya to “marry him again.” Another user commented, “That’s not his stepson, that’s his boy” and another pointed out that he won an infinite number of aura points.
Later, Josue and Tanya shared a follow-up video, responding to the comments left on the first video. Josue thanked viewers and commenters for making his year by “saying the most beautiful things,” claiming the positive remarks made him feel like a “great father.” Meanwhile, Tanya specifically mentioned a remark that called Josue her son’s “security blanket” which she thought was the “cutest comment ever.”
