Apparently the Eversmann's children did not have beds of their own. The complaint indicates the "house contained excessive amounts of personal property which is a safety concern. It was difficult to move throughout the home due to the amount of items piled up."

The complaint says also within reach of the children were "two very large survival-type kniceds and one small survival-type knife in sheaths.
