(Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office)WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - A Wichita woman posted a video on social media showing a non-verbal special needs student in the shower, according to a court affidavit.The affidavit says Taylor Flowers was an employee at Heartspring, a residential school for children with disabilities in northeast Wichita, on Nov. 17, 2020 when she took a video of a 17-year-old girl as she was in the shower. The video was posted on Flower's Snapchat story. Another Heartspring employee saw the video and alerted authorities, according to the affidavit. Flowers was interviewed last December and admitted to filming the girl, but said she did so only after she had received a picture of a different student on the toilet from another Heartspring employee. Flowers told detectives she "knew it wasn't right" and intended to tell supervisors of the photo the other employee took of the student, but instead filmed her own video.

But creators who have worked with the company on sponsored content deals told BuzzFeed News they have spent weeks or months chasing down payments from the brand, with some saying they were only paid after threatening legal action. Some have still never been paid in full.They also accused the company of using strange evasion tactics to delay compensating them, including having them speak to several different “employees,” who the influencers believe are both real and fake.Their suspicions were backed up by two former employees at the company. One of whom, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed to BuzzFeed News that the company’s founder, a man named Ethan Ban, regularly communicated with influencers by pretending to be fake employees, in an attempt to avoid their complaints. BuzzFeed News verified names of several real employees among names used in dozens of emails and DMs…
