The Grift of Kevin Tuttle: Unveiling the Undercover Dad’s Charitable Deception
There are many charitable deceptions out there. Prior to rebranding himself as “The Undercover Dad,” Kevin Tuttle operated a charity called AERIC, raising funds through a fraudulent documentary project and accepting donations from unsuspecting individuals, including a 12-year-old boy.
Prior to Tuttle’s attempt to re-label his persona from “Dr. Kosher” to “The Undercover Dad”, Kevin Tuttle operated a go-between charity named the ADVERSE EVENTS RECOVERY AND INFORMATION CORPORATION (AERIC).
The grift went something like this.
TUTTLE would raise capital for his charity by riding his bike with a blow-up doll across the United States while tailed by a camera crew to create a “documentary.”
Much like a traveling circus act, TUTTLE RATIONALIZED the non-attributed donations through coordinated stops where vulnerable mothers and city mayors waited to hear him speak.
And take donations in the name of AERIC he did. In a Facebook post, TUTTLE chortled he accepted $250 dollars from a 12-year-old boy.
Talk about taking Candy from Strangers!
Little Johnny will never know what his money really funded…But Kevin does.
Where is AERIC’s IRS Form 990?

Sick. All those stollen dollars – that Mr. Tuttle took – could’ve been used to fund ASD therapy appointments, especially for ASD adults whose parents are aging. Just one ASD therapy appointment – be it SLP, OT, PT, etc – can cost over two hundred dollars now.
