TikTok Yeet Baby 'Uncle Chris' In Mental Health Facility After Going Missing
TikTok star “Uncle Chris” — famous for the Yeet Baby videos — is getting treatment in a mental health facility after a difficult several months … which all led up to his alleged disappearance.
As we reported, Chris Rooney‘s family went to the cops last week after they couldn’t get in touch and feared the worst. A short time later, officers told us Chris had been located safe, but it was unclear what led up to his family’s report.
Now, Rooney’s family is explaining what happened behind the scenes, saying, “As many of you know, his life the last 6 months has been nothing short of difficult. What you all witnessed leading up to his disappearance was all of his emotions coming to a head.”
Those following along with Chris’ life likely knew he had recently separated from his wife — at times talking about it on social media.
What’s more, his family says, “Prior to his disappearance he had seen the movie “Sound of Freedom,” and like many others, he was sick to his core over it. This prompted him to post links to raise money for the cause of ending child sex trafficking. To many of you this may have seemed odd, but he genuinely wanted and still wants to help this cause.”
Chris’s family says he wasn’t acting like himself, and when they couldn’t get in touch with him, they feared the worst … calling the police to make a missing person’s report.

Thankfully, they learned he was in the mental health facility several hours later — where he remains — and is getting the treatment he needs.
Chris also released a statement, saying, “Unfortunately, there was nothing anyone could do to help me. It is something that I have to work on and am going to make it my life’s mission to not only get myself healthy but also others. If there is one thing I have learned during this time, there are a lot of hurting people in this world and I am going to do everything I can to help them.”
