Let me guess- the more kids she had, the more sweet, sweet taxpayer dollars they could rip off the American people. My adopted brother and sister came from a family just like this.
I was neglected as a kid but I was loved. We did feel loved. But it was still very hard. (My mom had a developmental disability along with depression and my dad just didn’t bother to hang around.)
This is why you shouldn't become an addict. They spend all their money on themselves and leave their kids to starve as the adults crave their addiction
I know someone not as bad as this but she’s going to have (pregnant) 4 kids and would rather spend money on nails and hair, clothes than buy them food and the house is disgusting and under sec.8 should I report? And to who?
If you feel the children are in danger or suffering, then yes you should report them. You could call your local child welfare office or ask police to do a wellness check on the children.
I can't imagine the passion these poor babies went through! My childs friends are allowed to eat anything they want in my house, without asking if they are hungry! My house is theirs. I don't understand treating your children this way. 💔
Why weren’t the “parents” sentenced to 16 yrs PER CHILD?!?! And at the very least lose ALL parental rights. I hope these sad excuse for humans get the same treatment in prison as they gave to their kids (although I know that won’t be the case). We need harsher punishment for child abuse, especially this level of child abuse!
This is sickening. Those children will have long term psychological consequences from this. Horrendous, especially with the treatment of the lizard in comparison.
Just because this was their “normal” doesn’t mean it wasn’t horribly traumatic and debilitating. I guarantee that they were both physically and mentally traumatized.
They look like they are blood related. I really hope we do not have incest as well 😩 What about their extended family? No one wondered or checked on these 7 babies? No family members on either side?
@@ronnie8984 It is still odd for me.. I know some family members that would search and break down doors to get to their family members especially children. No school plays. No sports events, holidays.. 7 babies? Someone should’ve been raising all he** to get to the babies 😞
With the continual emergence of these stories, I'm not seeing any conversations on improvements in our services for children or concerned adults reporting these kinds of things. Where is the overhaul of the system? Why aren't we talking about the actual problems, and instead just feeding morbid curiosity by rabidly consuming every new sad story that hits the news? When is something going to actually change for these kids, and for kids in the future?
I would like to know if they had babies who didn't survive those conditions. They already attempted to lie about the number of children in the home to the authorities. If I was investigating this case, I'd look for human remains under and around that trailer. 😩
I absolutely hate the phrase "children are resilient". They will be seriously messed up adults because as children they did all they could to cope which looks like resilience to adults who don't understand long term damage.
We were poor. My Dad worked as hard as he could with a limited education to support us. Don’t even ask me what our Mom did. I’m still working on myself okay. Dad used to say that even if a person or family was poor, soap and water went a long way to keeping yourself clean. That there was NO excuse for a filthy house. Even if the houses we lived in weren’t pretty, we scrubbed floor, bathroom, cleaned windows, etc, etc.

This is why you shouldn't become an addict. They spend all their money on themselves and leave their kids to starve as the adults crave their addiction
They CHOOSE to spend their money on everything but the kids. "Addict", my foot.
Wow Sherlock Holmes. You don’t choose to be an addict…🙄
@gypsya1915 you 100% make that choice
I know someone not as bad as this but she’s going to have (pregnant) 4 kids and would rather spend money on nails and hair, clothes than buy them food and the house is disgusting and under sec.8 should I report? And to who?
If you feel the children are in danger or suffering, then yes you should report them. You could call your local child welfare office or ask police to do a wellness check on the children.
Please report
Yes do report it, check out how on line or to the police for welfare check ✅
The parents look like siblings
Not all parents deserve a children.....
Do not say children are resillient. Their starvation will impact their lives as long as they live!
Exactly. It sounds like she is making excuses for someone not doing their damn job with helping these kids. Just saying.🤷🏻♀️
@@peachyrider9987I mean in this case no one would have known. They weren’t in school and even family didn’t know
Especially when the kids’ teeth are probably ruined for life, teeth affect your health, & obviously how you eat, HOW SAD
Stop allowing these people to homeschool their children without any kind of monitoring.
😢😢😢 poor children
I can't imagine the passion these poor babies went through! My childs friends are allowed to eat anything they want in my house, without asking if they are hungry! My house is theirs. I don't understand treating your children this way. 💔
Why do the parents look like siblings
Right? got the exact same nose…
You might think you know someone, but you NEVER know what is going through another person's mind
Why weren’t the “parents” sentenced to 16 yrs PER CHILD?!?! And at the very least lose ALL parental rights. I hope these sad excuse for humans get the same treatment in prison as they gave to their kids (although I know that won’t be the case). We need harsher punishment for child abuse, especially this level of child abuse!
What the actual f*ck?!
This is sickening. Those children will have long term psychological consequences from this. Horrendous, especially with the treatment of the lizard in comparison.
Pennsylvania? I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!
This was in Bucks County though, that IS surprising
And they lived in Bucks county.😔
I’m 40, and have hoarded food since I was a teen due to food insecurity related to growing up hungry.
❤️💔
I’m starting to not trust parents anymore
Parents have always been trash.
There is absolutely NO excuse. None.
I wonder if the parents had an addiction and/or mental health issues. How could you do this??
They look like brother and sister.
Just because this was their “normal” doesn’t mean it wasn’t horribly traumatic and debilitating. I guarantee that they were both physically and mentally traumatized.
I noticed that the only clean part of the house was the stovetop.
Just tragic. They both should never be out of prison for at least 20 years
They look like they are blood related. I really hope we do not have incest as well 😩
What about their extended family? No one wondered or checked on these 7 babies? No family members on either side?
The children were isolated from extended family
Makes you wonder if that's why they were hiding them.
@@ronnie8984 It is still odd for me.. I know some family members that would search and break down doors to get to their family members especially children. No school plays. No sports events, holidays.. 7 babies? Someone should’ve been raising all he** to get to the babies 😞
@@HEMI-MOMMA You make a great point!!!!
@@queenep I come from a family that only sees each other during the holidays. A lot of families aren’t close
I know how these kids felt. I was in the hospital twice at the age of 3 bc of malnutrition. No child should have to go hungry. So sad.🙏❤️🙏
With the continual emergence of these stories, I'm not seeing any conversations on improvements in our services for children or concerned adults reporting these kinds of things. Where is the overhaul of the system? Why aren't we talking about the actual problems, and instead just feeding morbid curiosity by rabidly consuming every new sad story that hits the news? When is something going to actually change for these kids, and for kids in the future?
Where's the $$$ for the overhaul?
I hate it when people say “ children stole food” they are not stealing they are getting food !!
I would like to know if they had babies who didn't survive those conditions. They already attempted to lie about the number of children in the home to the authorities. If I was investigating this case, I'd look for human remains under and around that trailer. 😩
I absolutely hate the phrase "children are resilient".
They will be seriously messed up adults because as children they did all they could to cope which looks like resilience to adults who don't understand long term damage.
They certainly made sure to feed themselves…..and the pet lizard ಠ_ಠ.
The parents look related. Id do a dna test
Haha def look related
Yeah, they really do! Hello Whitakers. 😰
Makes you wonder if that's why they were hiding the children.
The parents look alike or is it just me
Nope. It's absolutely not just you.
We were poor. My Dad worked as hard as he could with a limited education to support us. Don’t even ask me what our Mom did. I’m still working on myself okay. Dad used to say that even if a person or family was poor, soap and water went a long way to keeping yourself clean. That there was NO excuse for a filthy house. Even if the houses we lived in weren’t pretty, we scrubbed floor, bathroom, cleaned windows, etc, etc.
The kids are scarred for life. Therefore, the parents should get life in prison.
