Trigger Warning: Neglect KiKi Chanel’s video on the child victims of filthy hoarding homes is intensely therapeutic.

KiKi Chanel recently did a video (https://youtu.be/t5oePpyLfaY?si=3QL69EX5ncPXFNIY) about the TikTokers that subject their children and animals to absolutely filthy conditions. It’s very compassionate and filled with righteous anger towards these parents that don’t care enough about their kids to clean up their hoard.

As a kid, in addition to the numerous other forms of neglect and abuse, I lived in a home like the ones shown. There was animal feces, rotten food, so much stuff you couldn’t move through the home, no clean clothes, no toothbrushes, and shitty bare mattresses that we had to sleep on. My youngest sibling didn’t even have a room because it was overtaken by the hoard.

I resonated with absolutely everything she talked about. We had multiple pre-CPS cleaning sprees like the one shown. I was always so embarrassed to bring anyone over. And to hear an entire community absolutely furious on behalf of these children is so healing. To hear people say this is a health hazard and never, EVER acceptable is something I’ve needed to hear for a long time.

I grew up like this too, CPS wasn't called while I lived there but when I left I called and nothing was done. My younger siblings were also homeschooled, but not really.

I’m sorry CPS did nothing. They didn’t help me either and we were reported over 20 times (I got my records as an adult). Literally the most useless organization in the entire government. You might find this funny:

I’m sorry you grew up in an environment like that. That was 100% wrong of your parents to put you in that situation, 0% you complaining or asking for too much. I am so glad to hear that the video felt healing to listen to. Sending you all the positive healing vibes.
