Betsy Castro is Threatening Teenagers

Jason Castro's mom, Betsy, has now stepped up to an even more shameful platform that hurts kids. The Castro family was already mooching free flights off of the fans and tricking them into sending pictures of Jason so the family could profit by designing merchandise. Now Betsy is sending out a cease and desist to anyone who sells anything with Jason's likeness on it. If some big manufacturer was producing Castro crap, sure, it might be understandable. But Betsy is attacking little kids who are making things like charm bracelets for themselves and friends, most of which don't even have Jason's name on them. Also, a teenager designed a shirt for the Castrotards to wear to show their fan support (left), and Betsy is requiring her to stop making them for friends as well. You don't see the other Idols attacking teenagers for making low-grade fan items. This is just shameful, but it seems Jason's family are low-life, classless, greedy people, so it's not a shock. Betsy's message:

You guys need to support Jason by buying his official merchandise. It is illegal to make any type of profit on Jason’s likeness and image. Hope you can understand and respect that it is his hard work and dedication that needs your support. It’s like asking Jason to go work so he can pay for your tuition or rent? That just doesn’t make sense to me. Out of respect for Jason and his music, I am personally askin y’all to cease and desist any further sale of merchandise with his name, image or likeness. Thanks… Betsy Castro

Betsy Castro your a real piece of shit. Your so lucky people actually give two shits about your ugly, boring, stoner son to make such things. Haven't you been milking these people long enough?

Tour is now over and Jason will go off into oblivion and never be heard from again like 99% of most Idol contestants.

What is this "career" people are talking about?

The only thing I know is the "Cashtro" name and the money grubbing ways of his fucked up family. And that is the way it should be known.

There is NO doubt about him and his family blatantly begging for gifts,and carting off loads of them as documented on this site and Idletard.com.

MOST DISGUSTING IDOL CONTESTANT EVER

I actually liked Jason...

but he's not gonna make it into the industry-especially with this "I don't care attitude" and even worse his "treat fans like shit and use them" attitude which he and his family have.

Fuck, this is disgusting...especially picking on a 13 year old. That logo is really good, Mama is hell bent on stealing her creativity to get all the money. Can't wait until this blows up in her fucking face.

The logo is simple yet creative. It reminds me of those logos on the "Life is Good" shirts. It's not Picasso but it works very well.

I find it sad that people at VFTW and Idletard are supporting this girl and her rights more than her "friends" at DDB. DDB mods and posters are still mostly concerned with no making Dragon Mama Castro angry than they are with standing up for Blaker.

What an effin douchebag family. Bongboi is going nowhere and I hope their ill-gotten money brings them nothing but aggravation. Unbelievable. Smarten up dread heads or whatever the heck your particular fan name is. Betsy and her money mongering have got to be stopped.

What a fucking disgusting family. First Jesus Cashtro mooching computers and whatnot, then Mama Beasty Cashtro attacking teenagers. Go to hell, you two. The world has enough embezzlers than it already has.

It's not just something she said, our designs were actually flagged on CafePress and Zazzle so that we can't sell items with them. We've been given the contact info for the Castro's lawyer, but who wants to argue with a lawyer?

Ugh. Well, no more playing Devil's advocate. Looks like the mom really is a douchette. If you do a search on CafePress.com for Jason Castro, you'll find nothing. I also wanted to see some of the posts that the crazy broad left on that Daydreaming Boy website, but it won't load. Maybe the fan who spent all of her time setting that shit up finally wised up and closed it down.

By the way, Hippie:

Well, that's exactly what they're banking on. Kind of like how insurance companies just deny everything to see who will bother to fight with them and inconvenience themselves. You're clearly not infringing on anyone's rights.

And if you don't want to contact a lawyer, if you or any other fans involved in this are from Jason's hometown, call someone from a local TV station. Get one of those consumer advocate reporters like Arnold Diaz (Shame, Shame Shame!! - love that bit) to go confront the Castros on TV and then see what they have to say.
