Christian Family Harrased by CPS After Anti-Christian Reddit Group Reports Them for Abuse

Redditors are effectively a terrorist organization.

It’s like a branch of the Mossad or something.

The Post Millennial:

The Christian parents of eight children said they were threatened with having their children taken away by Florida’s Department of Children and Families (DCF) after anti-Christian trolls weaponized child protective services against them. J.D. and Britney Lott have spent the past three years traveling the county, homeschooling their eight children, and documenting their faith-centered journey on Instagram under the username AmericanFamilyRoadTrip, which has more than 607,000 followers.

J.D. Lott told Reason that DCF launched a nationwide manhunt after a Reddit troll contacted the local Florida DCF agency alleging child abuse allegations. Mr. Lott said his family has repeatedly been targeted by a group on Reddit called “FundiSnarkUncencorsed” which makes fun of evangelical Christians.


That subreddit seems to be targeting almost exclusively white Christians, which I’m sure is just a coincidence and not indicative of the tribal affiliation of most of its members

The Lotts were staying at a campground in Florida and were on their way to Georgia when they received a text message from DCF. The message read: “Please respond we need to follow up and verify the children are safe. If we cannot complete this we will have to see an Order To Take Into Custody which is enforceable nationwide. Please work with us so we do not have to do that. Thank you.”

A DCF agent had visited the Florida campground but the family had already departed. Britney Lott just had her eighth child a few months earlier and Redditors in the anti-Christian group claimed that their infant looked “jaundiced, “lethargic,” and “severely sunburned” in photos. The unidentified caller told the DCF agency the same accusations that the trolls claimed on Reddit, Lott said.

In a phone call with a county caseworker, J.D. Lott explained: “We have a group of people on Reddit that we’ve discovered are dedicated to defaming us.” The caseworker took Mr. Lott’s explanation into account, but later in the day, a DCF supervisor called the family after deciding the case was critical and threatened a nationwide manhunt if they did not turn themselves in for evaluation.

“We have you in our system, and you have to report by the close of the day,” the supervisor said, according to J.D. Lott. “And if you don’t tell me when you are going to meet with me, we’re going to consider you on the run.”

Frankly, while I like the idea of promoting good Christian values on the internet, it really does not make sense to post pictures of your family online.

I don’t really think people should do it at all.

Andrew Anglin was kicked off of Twitter for masturbating to a half-naked picture some guy posted of his wife. So that is one category that is obviously very strange. But just as a general matter, even if you have the best intentions, do you really want any photographs of your family online at all?

Probably not.

Could’ve been worse
