According to arrest records, a Florida couple, Keisha Epps, 51, and her fiancé, Tamra Marshon Stewart, 37, are facing child neglect charges for allegedly confining four children in the cab of a tractor-trailer for nearly seven years. The children were reportedly denied basic necessities such as regular showers, restroom access, and opportunities for outdoor exercise. They were also prevented from attending school for approximately five years, as stated in an arrest report based on interviews conducted at a child advocacy center.

The children described living in extremely confined conditions within the small cab, sharing a bunk bed where they had to lie curled up side by side due to space constraints. They reported being fed poorly, receiving no medical or dental care, and witnessing or experiencing physical and sexual abuse. One child recounted a severe burn from cooked noodles that went untreated, resulting in a permanent scar. Another child was found to have an untreated sexually transmitted infection. Epps and Stewart were arrested on August 6, 2026, with Epps charged with four counts of child neglect and Stewart facing additional capital sexual battery charges, which could result in the death penalty or life imprisonment without parole if convicted. Both are currently held in Duval County Jail, with bond set at $400,012 for Epps and Stewart being held without bond. Source
