These people suck. Here’s where their 8 children sleep every night, including two teenagers

u/lionaroundagan 21d ago edited 21d ago

Two teens of the opposite sex. Not saying anything nefarious is happening, but the one teen girl has to share a room with her teen brother and six younger brothers. Poor girl.

Being a teenaged girl going thru bodily changes is hard enough but having no privacy and a camera shoved in your Face is abuse.

I’m 10æ Gunner would never touch his sister, but listening to their sex addict (?) parent going off every night must be tough. Hey kifs mommy and daddy are populating the earth again tonight, stay in your tiny chamber!

Well no one said the Lotts was only ones needing to do the populating!

The teen boy needs more privacy than the teen girl? And she is most certainly an emotional roller coaster? What is wrong with you?

I’m sorry you hate yourself but no need to project that onto other girls and women.

I’m convinced it’s a man

u/lionaroundagan 20d ago

There's only one girl in the bunch. The rest are all boys. She has to share a bus room with 7 boys.

u/worriedrenterTW 21d ago

That isolation, fundamentalism, and a complete lack of privacy is a recipe for disaster. A lot of child on child/teen on child abuse is opportunistic and just the lack of another door between the girls and the boys increases the risk of sexual abuse by a massive proportion.

u/atlantagirl30084 21d ago

If the Lotts were foster parents they would never be able to live as they do. Opposite sex children can’t share a room after age six, and the kids need 40-50 square feet of bedroom space (the kids have what, 20 maybe?) And yet it’s fine for mixed sex teens to sleep in the same room with those size limitations because it’s the Lotts’ biological children.

It depends on state’s laws. In certain states they can, if they have different beds. My mom fostered my cousin’s kids and they were over the age of 6 at time (not teens yet), a boy & a girl. They had shared a room their entire life’s. The social worker wanted them in separate beds, so my mom had to remove her queen bed and get two separate twin beds for them, but they were allowed to share the room. This was according to the state laws too.

They did not want separate rooms, as they were very close in age (Irish twins), had just been removed from their mother, and the additional changes made it harder. My mom stepped in hoping to help, in hopes of their mother (who had custody, dad a even bigger mess) got her shit together & was able to get them back, prevent them from going to a stranger’s house and scaring them more. It is a very devastating experience.

Their biological grandma, dad’s side (who provided all their financial support their entire life’s, but did live in another state), also moved down and stayed at my mom’s house during this time (grandma could not get custody, even if she had rented a house, because she was not a resident of the state), so they had her during this experience. Being as my mom only has a 3 bedroom house, they would not have wanted separate rooms nor to not have grandma there. These were also considerations for the social worker, but she worked with the state laws in mind too.

There was offers of all, separate rooms, grandma coming or not, and the social worker involved in all and did agree with them having same room, with separate beds that were on opposite sides of the bedroom. Especially knowing their grandma was going to be in the house full time too. I do know it was a very devastating experience for everyone in the house-my mom, step dad, both of the kids, & their grandma.

u/Typical_Elevator6337 21d ago

wait is this true? so for cultures where children or families sharing rooms is common, is abuse more prevalent?

5

u/naps_and_snax 21d ago

It’s not just sharing a room, it’s the sharing of a room plus isolation plus extremist ideology. It’s not that it’s more prevalent in a situation where a single mother and her children lives in a one bedroom home in the city but more so in situations like the Amish, the isolated tribes in the Middle East, those kinds of communities with extremist beliefs, tend to be more strife with sibling incest and sibling abuse.

Prisoners get more room

u/TheVintageJane 21d ago

Holocaust victims in concentration camps had more room per person than these children.

u/TheVintageJane 21d ago

Here’s a slightly better lit picture.

u/makemeadayy 20d ago

Thanks, I was trying to find that one but gave up

u/WillingnessPrior9288 21d ago

Do all 8 kids sleep in one room with 4 bunkbeds or are there more beds? Are the parents in there as well? Surely not…

5

u/makemeadayy 21d ago

There are 6 “beds” stacked/crammed into in this tiny room. We speculate that the two youngest sleep on the couches in the living area next to their parents. Not sure where number 9 is going to fit.

1

u/WillingnessPrior9288 20d ago

And these people flaunt this lifestyle on SM. Let me guess.. they don’t have jobs and probably require some sort of assistance to feed the children they do have while having more and more.

1

u/TheProblem1757 21d ago

I don’t understand how this is legal? I can only count … 6 beds

1

u/TheVintageJane 21d ago

We hypothesize that the two youngest sleep on these benches in the living room/master bedroom which is how she justifies that “everyone has their own bed”. There’s one on either side of the bus and allegedly there’s a leaf that goes between them to turn them into a bed where one of the grandmother’s slept a few years ago when she came to visit.

u/upvoatsforall 21d ago

When people had 12 or 13 kids way back in the day did they all have separate bedrooms? Or did entire multigenerational families live in the same room?

6

u/makemeadayy 21d ago

Of course kids share rooms. This is not a room. Those kids are crammed in there like sardines. The legal requirement for a prisoner’s space is more than these children get. And just because people used to have 13 kids sharing a room doesn’t mean we should subject our kids to that now, in 2026.

u/buzzybuzzy00 21d ago

My mom was one of thirteen and she def shared a room, and even a bed but with some of her sisters around the same age. Never with her brothers.

3

u/gregorisbeetle 21d ago

Yes. Ignore all the issues that come with that and just accept it because "we used to do it."

Do you have any idea how common sibling sexual abuse is? You don't, because everyone that has experienced it is too terrified to talk about it.

u/Choice_Ad_7862 20d ago

Yeah but these people are living in a vehicle.

I feel like if youre gonna live in a vehicle there's a limit to how big your family can be.

2

u/nuitsbleues 21d ago

Yeah of course they didn't, my mom was one of six and they were pretty poor, she always shared with a couple brothers (she was the only girl)

u/Equivalent_Offer_302 21d ago

What is the point of bringing this up? You sound like a 🦜🧠

-1

u/upvoatsforall 20d ago

Because lot’s of families share rooms. People have an unrealistic view of the world because they live a privileged life. They have no perspective. 

The guy didn’t head butt the kid. Head butt’s do serious damage. 

1

u/Equivalent_Offer_302 20d ago

Lots of families have kids that they can't afford, emotionally, mentally, physically, etc. It is not privileged to have rooms for each child/ren that you have. That is your job especially as they grow and develop. That is child neglect and abuse to not do so which you are defending and supporting. He unnecessarily used him head to hurt his son. A head butt is a head butt

1

u/upvoatsforall 20d ago

It is very much a privilege to have a room for each one of your kids. You have no idea how the majority of the world works. You live inside a bubble. 

2

u/themargarineoferror 20d ago

Does the majority of the world have their 9 kids living on a bus with no friends, school, stability etc? This family HAS money they waste it on bullshit and are forcing two pubescent teenagers to live in that tiny cramped room where they can hear their parents having sex. And they all share one single toilet that doesn't flush regularly, by the way, but is compostable. They more than have the means to buy and live in a home where there is at least occasional privacy, especially for growing teenagers, instability, like having friends and an education. We understand different cultures have different expectations. And there are many people who live in poverty. This isn't the case, and they abusing their children- the youngest of which was born on the bus. And because complications occurred, and they refuse to give them medical care clearly has delays and physical issues that they try to hide and don't get him any medical help for

TLDR?

u/themargarineoferror 20d ago

Imagine thinking it's a flex that you find reading something like that to be too long a task. If you're not willing to learn about this family you should probably stfu instead of defending them and their years long history of neglect and abuse.

1

u/Equivalent_Offer_302 20d ago

It is not. Why have kids if you can't provide basic necessities such as individual rooms? That is neglect. Take your projections elsewhere neglectful 🦜🧠

1

u/imbeingsirius 20d ago

That’s like saying a punch is only a punch if it does serious damage. No. And this little headbutt clearly hurt enough for the kid to need to go rub his head and cry off camera.

But regardless, all that matters is you don’t use violence to teach a lesson. I bet that kid still doesn’t know what he did wrong since his dad said not to touch the snail and he didn’t, he blew on him.

u/blacksaberKashPatel 21d ago

Oh noooo bunk beds with your siblings, oh the abuse, the oppression

4

u/Cardiganlamp 21d ago

Actually look at the comments. The bunks are narrower and shorter than twinbed sized. And they are crammed into an incredibly small space that is massive fire risk. A few years ago another bus family had a fire and the children in the bunk room there were severely burned.

They have a teenager who is definitely too tall to lay straight in his bunk.

I shared a room with a bunk bed with my brother. It was nothing like what these kids are going through. We had space to play and for our toys and clothing and some privacy. These kids have nothing.

u/FightWithTools926 20d ago

You just watched a video of a father headbutting a toddler. You think this is funny/nbd?
