A Resurfaced Video of Tylor Chase Sparks Heartbreak and a Hard Mental Health Conversation
A resurfaced video of former Nickelodeon child star Tylor Chase has been making the rounds online, and it’s one of those moments that stops people mid-scroll. In the clip, which was filmed in Riverside, California, Chase is seen living on the streets, looking disheveled, holding up his jeans as he talks to a passerby. When asked if he used to be on the Disney Channel, he calmly corrects them and says “Nickelodeon,” then explains that he played Martin Qwerly on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide. That simple exchange has left fans stunned, heartbroken, and asking how someone so familiar from childhood could end up in such a vulnerable place.
The video first surfaced on TikTok months ago but recently went viral again, prompting emotional reactions across social media. Many viewers described it as painful to watch, while others questioned whether it was right to film someone clearly struggling. As the clip spread, a GoFundMe was started to help Chase with basic needs like food and clothing. Just over a thousand dollars was raised before the fundraiser was shut down at the request of his mother. Her message was clear and sobering: her son, who lives with bipolar disorder, doesn’t need cash as much as he needs medical care, and money alone would not keep him safe or compliant with treatment.

Chase’s former co-stars also weighed in. On the Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide, they spoke openly about their reactions, with frustration being expressed over how powerless the situation feels. It was acknowledged that while there is a desire to help, public attention or a podcast appearance isn’t what Chase needs right now. What he needs, as his family has said, is consistent medical and mental health support, something he has reportedly resisted.
For many people, this story feels familiar. It echoes other high-profile cases where families, even those with resources, have been unable to force adult loved ones into treatment unless strict legal criteria are met. Once someone is an adult, help can be offered, appointments can be made, and money can be raised, yet treatment can still be refused. That reality has been reflected in Chase’s situation and is part of why this story has struck such a nerve.
Beyond one individual, the video has reopened a broader conversation about child stardom, the pressures of growing up in the public eye, and how poorly mental health struggles are still handled. It has also highlighted ongoing stigma, long waitlists, high costs, and gaps in care that make getting help incredibly difficult. In the end, the grief and anger surrounding Tylor Chase’s story aren’t just about what happened to him, but about a system that continues to fail people long after the cameras stop rolling.
