(CP) – The mother of an “androgynous” gay drag kid who was videoed dancing in a gay bar before a crowd of men throwing dollar bills at him says she has been cleared of wrongdoing by child services. Wendy Napoles, the mother of 11-year-old Desmond Napoles (known by his stage name “Desmond is Amazing”), went on her son’s Instagram page this week to inform followers that she is no longer under investigation by the state of New York for child abuse. She and Desmond’s father, Andrew, were the

subjects of over 150 complaints to authorities after their son was seen in a viral video dancing in a gay bar in New York City last December while dressed in girl’s makeup, a blonde wig, high heels and a crop top. On Sunday, the mother posted a picture to social media showing a letter from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. In her post, she explained that she had been accused of child abuse, “exploitation, and maltreatment.” “The report was determined to be ‘unfounded,'” a letter from Sheila McBain, director of the statewide central register of the New York Office of Children and Family Services reads.
