I’m sure it totally wasn’t Nick doing the hiring, and that there wasn’t a single chubby, older lady who could do the job.

It speaks to how little Rekietas taught their kids if the kid didn't have the initiative to call his grand parents and ask to visit. They all have internet and somekind of device to access it.
When I was 16, me and a friend would cycle to parks 20 miles away. We don't go that far often but its the furthest we went on bicycles. A teenager with some idea on what to do can and will do things to solve problems. Rekieta kids reflects their parents level of personal responsibility.

If Nick is having cash flow problems due to his views and superchats being way down, maybe their junky brains didn't want to ditch the drugs because they would have cost so much to replace.

It’s pretty damn obvious to me that some of the trust fund money was going directly to things like dance class and the nanny and word got back the nanny bounced. I suspect the amholes were part of a plan to have a “nanny” again so the money could flow. It’s starting to sound like the grandparents were keeping some tabs and restricting the purse strings and the rekitas were trying to reallocate funds in various ways.
Heck I remember swapping cash for gas gift card fillups for my car with similar setups back in high school - parents gave the kids unlimited gas money but limited cash to avoid other fuckups.
More respect for the pastor and congregation that they got the cops involved before it got too bad - the reports don’t indicate that the kids were dying or needing immediate medical attention.
Is the Coompound in dominos delivery range?

This was the nanny that he threatened when Dick was on, right? Jokingly about showing her his guns. Because she was spending so much money on his children’s food. Maybe she saw that and bolted. She probably told someone in the community who then took a closer look at the Rekietas after that and saw the unsavory shit and reported it…

Could also have been cocaine, people with access to large quantities sometimes shoot it up. The practice used to be called "lowballing"(if mixed with an opioid like heroin) or "bell ringers"(cocaine on its own). The term "bell ringer" refers to the high - apparently it feels like the clapper of a large bell is hitting the inside of the user's skull right after he injected the drug.
This is a very efficient way of killing yourself, as your blood pressure shoots up after the injection, predisposing you to strokes and myocardial infarctions. It's also an surefire way of using up a lot of cocaine fast - users keep chasing the first hit's effects until either all their cocaine or their injection sites are used up.
BTW, owning a chemist's scale and a large amount of cocaine in small packs(I think that's what the cop wrote, his handwriting is dogshit enough to get him an honorary medical degree) can get you charged with dealing instead of just possession where I live - Is this the case in the US too?

The sores were just regular old sores that some junkies can develop. Police would have mentioned if there were specifically track marks, and they definitely didn't take any needles etc into evidence.

Yes - it’s mainly the quantity and they’ll probably argue it down, but scales alone aren’t a trigger (the cops aren’t stupid, they know druggies don’t trust dealers).
It’s unlikely they go for a dealer charge actually and instead pile it on to try to encourage a plea. If it goes to trial they may drop it if there’s not additional evidence.

If you come out of a house ruled by denial and lies, then asking for help outside is not something kids do, it would draw the wrath of the parents. Whatever initiative is learned is how to do things behind your parents' backs.

The kids are blameless here. I grew up rough, too, but what being an adult has taught me is that I shouldn’t have had to start prepping dinner for my whole family as a preteen or done all the laundry or cleaning up alone. There’s a lot of shame associated with parents that are addicts, drunks, or mentally unstable, and the older kids might not have wanted to talk about it. But the younger ones were not receiving any kind of education at all and at least one of the kids was glad to see the police, as the officer recounted that she held onto them as she was being led out of the house.
There’s a lot of reasons why the Rekeita kids were going hungry — as others have said, their home is in an isolated area and food shopping or deliveries likely weren’t happening on a regular basis. Aaron Imholte said that he saw that the kids ate fast food mostly. They were left alone, they couldn’t do laundry because the laundry room is only accessible through the master suite that the Rekeitas had turned into their crack den, and their mom and dad were having violent arguments while strung out on drugs. This kind of shit is traumatizing to witness, especially as a child.

Regarding bail. "They" refers to Nick and his wife:

Fascinating. $50k buys a lot of coke and I'm sure Rickety Rekieta would love nothing more than to go out violating his bail conditions with a blow and a bang.

That little girl must be a pro at sleeping through Nick and Kayla's knock-down-drag-out fights if she can slumber right through a police raid where they breach the front door.

confirmation now that if he is hitting his secret stash or boozing up then he's violating his bail conditions. so now we have three possibilities:
- nick's brain is drying/will dry out in the coming days and he will appreciate the gravity of the situation, keep clean, smarten up, and realize that either he fights the warrant the smart way by keeping his mouth shut or goes immediately to plea the charges down.
- nick is boozing/using as we speak and will ride the line and do literally whatever it takes to maintain his addiction regardless of the circumstances.
- nick's brain is drying out and he's not actually using, but he's also fuming and high out of his mind on copium, so all the mental clarity will go towards fighting his case tooth and nail and in the dumbest, loudest, and most self-destructive way possible. thus, it's only a matter of time before he violates the release conditions.
This isn't going to strangers, there's aunts and uncles and grandparents they could have asked for help. People they know and see on weekly basis (church, home school group). Think about that, what are the Rekietas teaching their kids if the kids think like that.

I think it's ridiculous amounts of speculation to comment let alone pass judgement on the household situation with regard to the kids. The situation is entirely opaque to us and, while it is fair to discuss what might have been reasonable for them to have done, it's at best in poor taste to pass any blame on the kids, especially to use it to further vilify the parents.
For all we know, they could have been in touch/stayed over at their relatives, etc. And the poor hygiene and lack of food might have been problems that got worse incrementally, making it especially difficult for somebody to decide that it's time to react and stop delegating to the parents.
As @Mayhem and @Biden's Chosen already pointed out, children are not fully grown and developed adults, and it's wrong to expect them to handle a situation that is, even to adults, bizarre at best. While I'm by no means in favor of the Rekieta's lifestyle, there's far too little known about their household at this time to make any useful comments on it without dragging the names of their children through the mud just for a handful of stickers.

Do you even remember being a kid? You barely have agency or the self esteem to stand up for yourself. Adults dictate your whole fucking life and you just do what they say. They probably don’t even realise how bad things actually are because they’re living in it and don’t have any life experience to know any better.
It might sound like "putting blame on the kids for not standing up to their parents" but I'm "use it to... vilify the parents" using the lack of the 16 year old action to blame the parents. Sure blaming kids is bad but at the very least at 16 I would have rode out on my bicycle and buy chocolate or something. What I've been saying is I don't like how the Rekietas are raising their kids to rely on people like their nanny to provide for them. This is more about Rekietas not having the personal responsibity to pass on to their kids.
