On this particular episode a man named Floyd was living in absolute filth and large amounts of mold in northern California. That's fine, do what you will with your life. But then it was revealed that Floyd's 2-year-old son, Charlie, lived with him. Every time this child was shown on the screen he had a deep cough, presumably from the mold infested house.

To get a better feel for this episode, feel free to watch this quick clip.
Every morning Charlie and Floyd would wake up, brush their teeth and eat breakfast like any normal father and son. Except that in this household there was really nowhere to sit, there were loaded firearms haphazardly secured to the ceiling with zip ties and there was broken glass scattered about.
Then came the kicker.
Floyd explained very calmly that this was just the country way of life, that in the country things didn't have to be spic and span, that a little dirt never hurt a child.
You're right Floyd, dirt doesn't hurt children, but loaded firearms and mold do.
Living in a hoard does not constitute the country way of life, but I certainly appreciate that Floyd is furthering the rest of the country's perception of country life. Awesome.
Sure, where I'm from there is no shortage of broken down cars, electronics and large-scale appliances sitting on front lawns. But there are equal amounts of well cared for homes and farms.
Last time I checked, country folk were some of the most prideful in the world and that includes taking pride in their land and their homes.
The only heart to bless in this post is California CPS. Although just to give an update, they did return his children (there was also a 1-year-old) after he cleaned it all up. Awesome.
The worst part of these hoarding shows is that they bring in very judgmental people that should be helping these folks work out their issues that created the mess, instead of bringing in a doushebag like the older son Dallas in this episode. It was very obvious Dallas was one of those that robbed the guy blind while he was in the hospital and ruined his life and the younger kids lives. and Dallas showed multiple times how happy he was seeing the guy fail. These situations, the hoarder is almost always depressed and bringing in a loser doushcebag like Dallas doesn't help the situation in any way..
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree!! Dallas was a rude crude little pos!!! I wanted to reach through the tv and slap the sh*t out of him! How dare he be a disrespectful, heartless little douchebag. Floyd needs to keep him out of his life. Theres never going to be a day that Floyd can do anything right to Dallas no matter w how hard he tries. The ugly disrespectful little twit. Right or wrong that is his Dad. Learn some respect Dallas. Put yourself in Floyds shoes. One day someonewill make you feel as badly as you made Floyd feel. My heart goes out to Floyd, keep your head and I hope you make it through all your struggles.
DeleteRespectfully, are you seriously kidding?? Dallas grew up in that pigsty of a home with his Dad and his opinion is completely valid - his father is endangering his children. Dallas is bitter because of the lack of care he and his sister received from Floyd growing up and he can see what Charlie is going to go through along with his little sister in the future and feels something should be done about it. Floyd older daughter had to take his 1 year old and look after her because of the filth and his oldest daughter has become essentially a Mom to her little sister at 18!!! If anyone should be called a douchebag it should be Floyd NOT Dallas at least he's trying to get his father to take responsibility for his kids and the environment they live in. I would be bitter too if my father made me live like that. I realize Floyd went through some trouble in the past but we don't know what caused his family to do what they did BUT it still doesn't make it okay to live in filth with innocent children.
ReplyDeleteYes, Floyd needs to clean up his home...BUT,unless little Charlie can sprout wings & fly, those EVIL guns are NOT goin to hurt anyone...I grew up on a farm -my dad had guns around the house...we were taught NOT to touch them or you'd get a belt to your butt. But, we knew they could KILL you or someone else...when we got older, we were taught how to handle guns responsibly & NO ONE in my family was ever hurt or worse by ANY firearm. I would worry about the mold/filth MORE than the guns hurting Charlie...because, Charlie can't get his hands on them.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I grew up and my own children grew up with firearms in the home, we are all still alive, imagine that. My 3 adult children have their guns in their home with my grand children. If one teaches children not to touch the guns, you will have no "accidents. All of our guns are not within the children's reach and they all have trigger locks on them. Floyd had zip ties on his guns, I see no problem with that. I myself can not rip a zip tie off something and I am 47. I'm sureally Charlie doesn't have super human strentgh, nor wings to get to the guns and fire them. Anti gun people have their opinion, gun owners have their opinion, that's all fine and dandy, doesn't make one right or wrong. Floyds way of living was atrocious, filthy and not habitable...but he loves his kids and did do the right thing for those kids. Hell I see father's that have no interest at all in their children, but floyd loves his kids, and that should speak volumes. He did what was necessary to clean his home and property up to get his kids back, congrats! Nobody is perfect and not everybody is a clean freak. The love he has for his children is so refreshing! I know of a few very upper class, wealthy families that hardly ever see their kids even tho they live in the same home. The families I know of have nannies and both parents are away on business more times than they are home. This, in my opinion, is a form of neglect. But since there is wealth involved and a very capable nanny, nothing is done. One teenage daughter is constantly drinking and driving, doing alot of drugs. I told the mother what was going on and she just pretty much told me to go f myself that her daughter is none of my concern, true, but when my teen age daughter is with her, then it becomes my concern. Side note: my daughter is forbidden to go any where with her. She is allowed to come to the house and visit. Anyway, floyd loves his children and has taken amazing steps to keep his children. As for dallas, he is very bitter, and he needs to sit down with his dad and let it all out. Their relationship is toxic and they either need to confront each other or stay away from each other.
DeleteThis has nothing to do with being "anti-gun" people. That was a nice try though. I grew up with many guns in our home, and so have my kids. The difference is, we keep our guns in a gun safe, where they should be kept. It is the law in a lot of states to do so. It is also better for the firearms as well. It is a controlled environment, keeping them away from moisture. You will also be protecting yourself from having your guns stolen from you. When a firearm is stolen, you need to call the police to file a report, and your homeowners insurance to file a claim. The first thing you will be asked by both parties on the other end of those calls will ask you is, Was your gun kept inside a locked gun safe? Now, if you're in a state where the law requires you to keep guns in a safe, you will most likely end up with charges pressed against you, which carry hefty fines, and all of your other guns confiscated until you see a judge. You might get them back you might not. You will most likely be dropped by your homeowners insurance as well, which makes it nearly impossible to find another company that will insure your home. If you do find a different company that is willing to insure your home, it is guaranteed that you will be paying 10 times more than you were before. Most importantly, a gun safe will keep your children safe. I don't give a shit how many generations of your family has grown up with guns, or how many you have. Any responsible firearm owner knows that the only place for a gun,that is not being used, is unloaded and in a gun safe! I've never understood why people get on the internet and brag about having loaded guns randomly placed all over their houses. Telling everyone that their kids won't hurt anyone, or themselves, because they have been taught gun safety. I don't care if your child is a god damn genius! You cannot trust children to not become curious! Especially, teenagers who think they are indestructible! Kids are not capable of foreseeing possible danger. That part of their brain has not developed yet. It does not make you a more cool, tough, or theatening man to leave your firearms anywhere other than a safe! It actually makes you an incredibly negligent, irresponsible, complacent parent and firearm owner, who should not be allowed anywhere near a gun, or able to have any children in your custody! Stop thinking people read your comments and perceive to be some sort of hardass! Trust me, they don't! Anyone with half of a brain who read your comment learned that you're an overconfident blowhard who shouldn't be allowed lay a finger on any sort of firearm, or be allowed to raise children. Stop being a douche and put your guns in a safe!
DeleteAmen!
DeleteDallas was a jerk....I just wonder what the "judgmentaly family members" closet problems are in all of these Hoarding shows!
ReplyDeleteDallas was a jerk....I just wonder what the "judgmentaly family members" closet problems are in all of these Hoarding shows!
ReplyDeleteYeah dallas was a jerk and seems like a dooshebag but its not hard to see why. its one thing if a hoarder admits to the problem and apolagizes for what they did to others lives, but his dad didnt do that, he acted like he didnt do anything wrong and was smug about it if you held in your anger for 20 years and then watched as someone started all over on ruining someone elses lives id say he is justified to say and act how he did. sometimes you need to call it like it is and call someone a dirty, lazy pos to get them to wake up and see what their doing is wrong.
ReplyDeleteChelsea is smoking hot
ReplyDeletethis was such a conflicting episode for me. i wanted to hate Dallas and floyd but then i felt bad for both. but i still agree that those littles should still be with cps foster care
ReplyDeletealso same with the kids on 600 pound life, one lady fully admitted she adopted kids to care for her because she was too big to do it herself. wtf how did the system let that fly
I dont understand why the show didnt buy Floyd a new mobilehome, if they really cared about those kids they would have done that.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing.
DeleteDoes anyone know their address. I would like to send the kids clothes and toys.
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew how to mail him a gift for the kids. I saw he had an Army Airborne patch on, same one as my dad. This man deserves better for his babies.
ReplyDeleteWe only have self-pitying Floyd's word for the whole "my family stole the ranch I was entitled to inherit" story. Jeez, what a self pitying whiner. I was raised by a depressed, self-centered self-pitying mother and I recognize someone with a very out of balance sense of priorities when I see one.
ReplyDeleteAs his adult kids said, they would leave him to his personal choices if it were just him, but there are tiny toddlers in this environment, one of them full time (why floyd rather than their mom has custody maybe means she is even worse than he is - I cant imagine hooking up with a guy like floyd once, let alone twice at least...) It is not a matter of a mere difference in cleanliness/tidiness or hoity-toity high class standards of living. I grew up poor, am just a working class schmoe factory worker all my life, so I don't have any high falutin' standards. But jeez, this is out of control filth and crash down on your head hoarding. And floyd lied multiple times about how much of all this Charlie is exposed to - footage SHOWED him playing outside though floyd stated he never let's him be out there in the junk yard.
As for the guns, as others have also said here, I grew up with guns too and so did my kids - they're country boys too. But we didn't have them hanging from a drop ceiling for quick home defense with mere sitting up in bed - which means Charlie can easily climb up on that bed and maybe can't quite reach them at 2 or 3, but the curiosity and wiles of a young boy will have him figuring out how to reach such a tempting target soon. And if they're for quick, startled in the middle of the night, somebody breaking in to steal your gemstones moments, then they're loaded. And floyd isnt teaching little Charlie appropriate age potty training let alone gun safety, so stfu about that bs.
If floyd truly loves his kids - which he genuinely seems to, he is truly loving in his interactions with them - then he needs to man up, yes MAN UP, and face his own issues with true courage. He needs to actually change how he lives and perceives himself in the world and in their lives. I've heard dozens of people I know personally state that they would give their life for their kids - yet these same people, day after day year after year, refuse to change how they live for those very kids - even though their own addictions etc of various types are actively causing harm to those very kids. Actual, real life physical and emotional harm, while they imagine themselves to be heroes against some imaginary foe who is unlikely to ever materialize in real life.
Does anyone know how he is doing now?
ReplyDeleteWent on hoarding
DeleteFloyd Hoisington look him up his place is worse than before
DeleteI just seen the episode on tv today and my heart goes out to those little kids! I don't agree on CPS allowing the kids to go back to that place, it seemed like the mold was a lot worse than they could clean up. That poor boys cough, and them saying that the girl got spinal meningitis most likely from the mold! I pray that CPS had stuck around and stayed in their life to make sure things didn't go south again and that floyed got the help that he needed considering he believed that his children were living find. I could see that he is a loving father and is doing what he can but the conditions he was making them both live in shows now mentally ill he has become. That episode came out 10 years ago I'm so curious how things have turned out for them. That is why I found this page when looking to see if anyone has any idea of Where They Are Now?!
ReplyDeleteWent on hoarding..saw the update on Hoarding Buried Alive feed..city is suing him to clean it up...now says he is a Reverend for a Christian school on premises
ReplyDeleteOH! yes, you can do any kind of SH*TTERY as long as you pull the Christian card out of your A*SS. They think their big sky god is going to protect them no matter WHAT they do.
ReplyDeleteLassie, since your real reason for being here was to denigrate Christians and not to stay on topic, why don't you take your vulgar language and bigotry to some atheist website where people actually care? Or maybe just get off your mommy's computer and go take a nap-you seem to need one.
ReplyDeleteHe is a pedophile. Everyone is in denial except Dallas who cannot call out his father Due to the trauma that was inflicted on him.
ReplyDeleteSuxie do you have proof? Do you know them personally? I get it he has problems but it genuinely looked like he loved his children! Why are you making these accusations?
ReplyDeleteI saw part of this episode yesterday (1 September 2021) on UK television.
ReplyDeleteIn a house that made Dr Beaton gag, Floyd Hoisington put on a breathing mask to change the baby's nappy. Talk about delusional. I wasn't able to watch to the end, but apparently the place was cleaned up enough for the child(ren) to return. Ten or so years' later Hoisington is back to his old ways and wonder what ultimately happened to Charlie.
I am the mother to Charles Hoisington. I am also the mother to the one year old little girl that was barely filmed on this video let me tell you it was all staged and a bunch of bull crap Dallas and Chelsea have issues with their father Chelsea is now a heroin addict and Dallas well he's Dallas mentally mentally deranged and needs help as for the two small children they are doing great they have grown up a lot CWS is no longer in the lives and Floyd yeah he has his issues he currently has a lot of health issues and the city it tries every day to screw him one way or another so please if you have a heart think before you speak
ReplyDeleteNot a single word of that is true. Stop talking out your @$$.
