Looks like also possibly a cat): Can’t tell if that’s a litter box on 7 or if it’s a box with something rotting in it

That's definitely a litter box.

Poor kitty :(( I really hope it doesn’t live there anymore

Yes 100% a cat, can see the litter box full of shit. But those bunk beds look like kids bedding, I hope kids were nit living there. I had a friend growing up who's house was like the original pictures. I felt so bad for him.

I had a friend who always smelled bad in high school. I noticed but never said anything. I'm the kind of person that is sort of attracted to ppl that "need friends" you know?

I later learned as an adult what that smell was... She lived in a house like this. Poor thing it very likely wasn't her fault at all. But because of shitty parents (literally) she went through school stinking.

I think it gets into the clothes and it's a pet odor kind of smell. Hard to describe but I can smell it in these photos.

I had a friend like that named shane in like 6 th grade. Dude always wore dirty, BO smelling clothes and didn't seem like he showered often. We became good friend he was a awesome dude. But he never wanted to hang out or do sleep over at his place. I was super poor and also shy about my crappy house. But we always hung out at my place. After a year or so his mom invited me to sleep over against his wishes kinda. And I found out why. The house was a mess piles of junk of clothes. Washer and drier not even hooked up, kitchen full of rotted food and more junk. The only room in the whole house somewhat clean was his. He told Me that night all about his home life his depressed mom, his cop dad that's never home and checked out completely, how he has to clean his own clothes but they don't even have soap for clothes he would take hand soap from school and wash his clothes once a month in the tub. Kid was just being neglected. I told my dad about it and my dad basically took him in, would send me to school with extra food for shane. Would have him bring his a trash bag of clothes to school so we could wash them at our house, my dad was always awesome like that, even tho we were dirt poor he did what he could to help this kid out. Sadly he moved to another state when were like 13 and I didn't hear from again till he was an adult and reached out to me on Facebook. He is doing great now.

Aw nice to hear he is doing good. My mom was a teacher and she would take her kids shopping for clothes AND they had a laundry on site for this situation. It's tough though because that's still an adult intervening, they are children!

Breaks my heart, I have a 4 year old boy and not a single atom in my body would allow me to neglect him.

I have a mother just like that. We didn’t always have much but there was always an extra plate at the table for anyone who needed it. Bless you and your dad and I’m so glad to hear Shane is doing well.

This broke my heart. Thank you first of all for looking past what other people would not of. And thank you to your dad for being such a beautiful soul x

My dad is my hero I'm 35 and still look up to him as my hero. He saved me from my abusive mom when I was 6. I had all kinds of behavior and violence problems from the abuse I was getting from mom and step dad. Somehow my dad took that all on by himself, and calmed my ass down. Taught me how to be a proper man, have empathy and to only use violence as self defense. He got remarried about 10 years ago and moved to the east coast, so I don't get to see hin often now. I want my son to know what a awesome dude his grandpa is, but sadly being 3000 miles away and hin retired means not many chances to vist.

Not only does your son know his awesome granddad but now the internet does ( him from the UK) ❤️ thank you yet again for sharing your story and most of all for being the compassion that boy needed when you were both younger.

Thank you for being her friend x
