Mobile Home Fire at the Whittakers

[@ArseMoriendi]

I’m just glad to see Larry has fully recovered from being dead. (BJ called Mark, claiming her father Larry had died. Not being the brightest bulb, she was busted when Mark showed up to pay his respects- so she tried to hide out in the very trailer that burned down. Mark calling her a “sneaky one” is the understatement of the century.) Also, someone take poor Ray to a doctor already!

Please contact a social worker, advocate in the area. Timmy, Lorraine and Ray deserve a better life. Clean, safe living conditions to start. They can thrive with more activity and interaction with others. Because they can’t communicate well doesn’t mean they aren’t afraid, confused, threatened or worse. If this were children this would not be acceptable. Thank you for shining a light on them.

All that would do is put them in a group home and I’m sure their area doesn’t have any decent options. At their age, they’re fine where they are.

I've known people like this in real life. It's hard to explain. Their thinking is very simple - just survive. They don't show emotion, no hugs, no gifts to each other. Never is love spoken of. They just don't think the same way we regular Americas do. They still live in the 1930s depression era. They didn't think they were taking advantage of you. They just take and use what they can get to survive. Again, it's such a different mind set that I can't even explain. I've seen it, first hand. Life is so hard, they don't have the emotions or morals we do. No matter how much money you give them, they will live the same way as right now. A nice house means nothing to them, it would be in the same shape as this one. Buying food and paying bills is the only concern. You can't change them even if you made them millionaires.

[@virginiawilliams7282]

Poor chickens? No, they are not in a fancy coop. They should be in a better coop. As for the dog going after the chicken, it happens. I grew up raising goats, chickens & dogs. They were all well fed & cared for, but theres always that 1 dog that wants to go rogue & get the chicken or even baby goat. You stop them & try to reprogram, but its difficult. These people live the way they live.

[@lurree1904]

So shady. BJ’s behavior could not be anymore suspicious. Not acknowledging Mark when she came in, whispering to Larry, will not look Mark in the eye, it’s all shady. It’s very sad. The wallet thing is super suspicious. Larry trying to imply John had something to do with it. Makes me wonder if BJ put that in his head or he’s lying for her.

[@RainCityForever]

I'm not 100% sure I understood Betty correctly, but at 2:50 it sounds like she said they didn't have power hooked up to the trailer. If that's the case, possibility of propane/other fuels used inside is my guess of the cause. Used for heaters, cooking, lighting and whatnot. Edit : 17:05 confirmed propane used for utilities, but said main tank outside was empty at the time of the fire.

They would probably die from being lonely and heartbroken without their family

They have been on my mind lately. I went to your page a few days ago and checked to see if you had posted about them lately. When I saw the post this morning I thought it was Betty’s home that burned. Glad they’re all ok, but they look worst off than they did the last time. I don’t think a few of them are long for this world. So sad. Sending prayers.
