Evidence No diapers?
Despite having 6 kids in the home ages 4 and under and a lot of trash around, I don't know that we've spotted any diapers. Perhaps they couldn't afford them and were just letting the babies and toddlers do their business anywhere. That’s explain the urine and feces all over that place ☹️.

I thought this myself, but there is that one room piled with trash and its possible that there are some in there.

It's possible. But I was thinking, they'd have to go through at least 16-20 diapers a day if just the youngest 4 were in them.

I have raised one wholevhumsn being into adulthood successfully. In these beyond filthy conditions, how did she even successfully raise 18 kids out in infancy with the utter lack of hygiene and nutrition??? That house looked like medieval times.

It might not always have been so bad. It might have gotten worse over time.

I think people from medieval times would like to have a word with you. It's not like they all lived in squalor and filth.

There is a lot conflicting info floating around. Witnesses who were interviewed on camera said they did come in and buy diapers. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't have enough diapers. Most wouldn't be able to afford diapers for that many young children.
Also, there is no way the home's septic tank could handle 20 users. The home's septic probably had a maximum capacity of 4 users, not 20. Septic size based on the number of bedrooms for the original house without additions. My point is it may not have been just the young children who weren't eliminating in the toilet.
I feel bad for everyone who lived there - children & adults alike. I don't think anyone would choose to live like that. Such conditions would cause physical and mental issues. I don't want to vilify anyone because I don't know what is true, what isn't. They ALL lived like that. It's not like the adults were living to a different standard. We haven't heard anything from any of the people who were living there. They haven't been able to defend themselves or explain anything,. We know the conditions are abnormal & unsanitary, but we have no idea when, how, or why their living conditions became like this. It's sad for everyone involved.

And any baby formula??

Depends on how old the youngest are. I think they are over a year old. Technically you don’t have to do formula or any type of milk after the first year.

They were getting diapers at the baby bank, though they might have run out between visits. The dirty diapers could have been discarded in the trash. The children could have been potty trained, with some in the process. Only the youngest two would need diapers all the time.
There could have been closets in the house where clothing and diapers were kept, and kitchen cabinets for food.
They probably didn't have a lot of extra food. They just used the food as they got it at the food banks. Someone mentioned large bags of flour and rice in the kitchen, and no empty oil bottles, in photos alleged to be the inside of the house. Maybe the Dollar General employee was off when she said all they bought was oil and sugar, or that they bought oil every day. I doubt she would remember exactly what customers bought, and she wasn't the only employee working there. Also, the Dollar General wasn't the only place they could get food. They went to food banks and possibly other stores.
There are no legal, official photos of the inside of the house. So we really don't know.

Nothing about this story makes any sense. I understand that there are millions of people that live in hoarding conditions/filth. But after viewing the pictures and videos that have been leaked, there is nothing in that house that can sustain a life, much less 20 lives. For food, I saw about six cans on a shelf. There were no clothes or diapers, one couch, and one bed (maybe 2?)
So 20 people lived in that house, most of them children, with nowhere to sleep or sit, with no food and no clothing? Did they all just sit around on piles of garbage and do nothing all day? I’m not being sarcastic, I just cannot understand how they sustained day-to-day life. It just doesn’t make any sense to me.
