Imagine stepping into a home so chaotic and unkempt that it leaves viewers staring in disbelief. That’s the reality for Alyssa, a California teen whose entire house has gone viral on TikTok under the account pomnii24, leaving viewers both horrified and sick to their stomachs.
The California teen has been sharing clips of her home, specifically a kitchen where cockroaches scurry across the sink and counters as she attempts to prepare food. The bugs aren’t shy either, showing up in all life stages, from tiny crawlers to full-grown roaches. According to Alyssa, the state of the home stems from neglectful parents who refuse to clean, leaving her to fend for herself in what viewers have called a “house of horrors.”
“No child deserves this. I’m praying for you,” one viewer comments.
“You have to get out of that house. Please tell someone you trust or call cps or smth,” another suggests.
“Baby you need to run and never look back!”
The conditions go far beyond a messy kitchen. Alyssa says she can’t even use the home’s dishes or utensils, as they’ve become a haven for roaches. Instead, her meals often come from processed baby food packs and microwave rice. She insists she cleans daily, but the infestation is so bad that nothing she does makes the slightest difference.
California Teen Goes Viral And Begs For Help
Her entire TikTok seems dedicated to documenting both the infestation and her struggles. In addition to showcasing multiple rooms in the house that are also crawling with pests, Alyssa has been open about her fear of soon becoming homeless. The California teen has launched a GoFundMe, claiming the donations will help her and her brother leave.
But the story hasn’t been without skepticism. Some viewers question why she doesn’t contact Child Protective Services, while others have pointed out inconsistencies in her posts, such as a Cash App account with a male name and contradictory statements about her father. Alyssa says the Cash App belongs to her brother and that they’re trying to escape together.
Despite the doubts, many commenters have expressed genuine concern. Offers of shelter have poured in, along with donations. Others have shared blunt advice, urging her to contact authorities or abandon the home entirely.
Whether every detail checks out or not, the videos have put a spotlight on truly disturbing living conditions that no one, especially children, should have to endure. Roach infestations, neglect, and unhealthy diets create a dangerous environment, and Alyssa’s situation serves as a grim reminder that sometimes the most viral moments online are also cries for help.
