Parents Threatened With Taking Their Children Away After False Claims of Child Abuse on Reddit
Listen now
Description
An investigation is underway involving an anti-Christian group that targeted a family of ten and almost succeeded in having the couple's children taken away from them. But the details of what led to the scare should shock everyone. JD and Britney Lott are both veterans. The couple in their 30's are the proud parents of eight children ranging in age from a newborn to young teens. They have a following of some 600,000 on social media as they travel the globe posting their events, praising God and homeschooling their children. But an anti-Christian group on Reddit began targeting them, claiming their children were abused and also making false claims to the Florida Department of Families. On the basis of those false claims, a social worker contacted them demanding that they submit their newborn to inspection or risk having all their children taken away. The Lott's contacted an attorney and The Family Freedom project. They were eventually cleared of any wrongdoing, but the fact remains that people who pedal in hate can weaponize a government agency to do their bidding. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith, the Lotts tell their story. It's a cautionary tale of social media's dark side, and also how what happened to the Lotts can easily happen to anyone.
