Mother defends photo of Chicago preacher taking a bath with her 4yr old daughter

Days after popular Chicago preacher, Bishop Larry Trotter was criticized online for taking a bubble bath with his 4 year old grand daughter, the little girl's mother, Javon Trotter, has come out to defend her father. Read what she said below...
“I’m upset, I’m hurt I can’t believe that people would re-post the picture of my innocent baby and say bad things about my father who loves my baby and all kids. He would never do anything to harm them. It’s hurtful for my whole family. I don’t understand this. It doesn’t look bad. I don’t know why people would think this way. I know my father and he would never do anything to his kids. I would have not posted the photo online…We never wanted anyone else to see it. My father is hurt as well, we’re his family. He doesn’t want people to be posting his picture all over the world.”
She also said her father and daughter had on swimming trunks and that the little girl was in the water for about three to five minutes, and she was present during the entire situation.

  3. I don’t know why people would think
    this way, for me there was nothing wrong with the pix, the only bad thing was putting it online. What if the man was in a pool with the lil gal and he uploaded the pix online would people have complained? No i dont think so. Whatever the case mey be this family has bin hurt by comments of people, and i can imagine the pain the mst be going through.

  23. Why is she wasting her breath?? We live in such a sick and depraved world. The things we considered innocent back then have become so evil. We need to cleanse our mindset. Yes, I know firsthand the importance of being cautious with kids and grown-ups but for people to react the way they did only shows the sick thoughts that some of us harbor. Now, such people are the ones we need to avoid...with their poisonous mindframe.

  47. THIS WOMAN IS A LIAR AND A BIG ONE INDEED. SHE CAN FOOL SOME PEOPLE BUT NOT EVERYBODY.

    WHEN THE WHOLE THING BECAME PUBLIC AND PEOPLE ASKED THIS PASTOR WHY HE WAS IN A BATH TUB WITH HIS GRANDDAUGHTER.
    THE PASTOR IN HIS OWN WORDS SAID HE WAS HAVING HIS BATH WHEN HIS DAUGHTER WALKED IN WITH HIS GRAND DAUGHTER AND HIS DAUGHTER REQUESTED THAT THE LITTLE GIRL[ HIS GRAND DAUGHTER] SHOULD JOIN HIM IN THE BATH TUB AND HE AGREED. HE THEN WENT ON TO SAY HIS DAUGHTER WAS THERE THROUGH OUT THE TIME HE WAS IN THE BATH TUB WITH HIS GRAND DAUGHTER. HE ALSO REAFFIRMED THAT HE WAS THE ONE THAT PUT THE PICTURE ON THE WEB AND THAT HE MEANT NO HARM.

    SO THIS PASTOR GOES BATHING WITH HIS UNDER WEAR ON ALL THE TIME? RIGHT? THE PASTOR DID NOT MENTIONED THAT TIME HE WAS IN HIS UNDER WEAR QUIETLY TAKING HIS BATH WHEN HIS DAUGHTER WALKED IN. HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN ANYONE WHO GOES BATHING WITH HIS OR HER UNDER WEAR ON. MAYBE YOU GUYS HAVE BUT ME, I HAVE NEVER.

    THESE PEOPLE ARE IN DAMAGE CONTROL MODE.

    WELL, WHETHER YOU ARE ARE FULLY CLOTHED OR PARTIALLY CLOTHED, IT IS MORALLY WRONG FOR A GROWN ASS MAN TO BE HAVING BATH IN A TUB WITH A LITTLE GIRL.WHAT MESSAGE DO THEY THINK THEY ARE SENDING TO THE LITTLE GIRL? THAT IT IS FINE TO BE HAVING BATH WITH GROWN MEN? RIGHT?

    I BEG, THEY SHOULD LOOK FOR ANOTHER LIE. THE ONE THAT WILL STICK. THIS ONE CANNOT AND WILL NEVER STICK.
    AND WHY WOULD A WOMAN HOLDING ON TO A LITTLE GIRL WALKED INTO A BATH ROOM WHERE SHE KNEW HER FATHER WAS UNDRESSED AND HAVING A BATH? WHY?

  48. There is a difference between a swimming trunk and underwear. Does the little girl in the picture look like someone with a swimming trunk on?
    Maybe i need glasses. I will bet my last kobo, this 'pastor' is freaking butt-naked inside the bubble bath. And his 'kokoro'[if it is long enough] is probably robbing on the little girl. Madness in its entirety.
    If the little girl has her underwear on, so why not say so. Why claiming she has swimming trunk on. These are all lies just to justify their foolishness.

    They are indeed in a damage control mode.

    Sickening sight.

  49. I'm sure she hasn't seen that picture that was circulated and went viral about a guy who had his penis in a little girl's mouth. Linda abeg try and send it to her cos that child is about the same age with hers. It takes one day to start in case she is oblivious to how threatened children are nowadays. Innocent my bloody ass!I don't know how many families their children enter the bathroom, shower, bath tub or jacuzzi when granpa is using it! Your father as a pastor should know better. I'm sure one of the members of his congregation has confided in him before about being molested by his/her grandparents at a young age.So he should know how that particular picture can be misrepresnted as most negative comments you may have read are from people who might have had similar experiences as children. I still maintain..THAT PICTURE IS SOOOOOO,TOTALLY AND SERIOUSLY WRONG! Madam abeg you should be lucky Child Proctective Services have not taken your daughter and an investigation into your father's background is open to public. Jimmy Savile case is still making news try and listen.

  58. Its quite sad how we have run out of innocence in this world.Good thing is, your rubbish opinions don't count.

    There are still good fathers out there. Those who know what a child is. Those who have control over their libido because they have the fear of God and know what is right.

    Its a damn shame that we cant trust our men, and hold them all with such little regard with respect to innocence.

    I have an amazing father who bathed us us everyday till I left primary school.

    Think what you like and say what you like. My childhood was perfect. If my toddler is with my dad, she is fine.

  66. As far as I am concerned, this is damage control. There are discrepanies between the preacher's account and his daughter's. No one takes swimming lessons in a hubble bath and the fact that the mother of the child was there doesnt make it right; some mothers have been known to sanction sexual abuse of their children. They are just shocked that the world isnt stupid as they thout and was quick to ctach on! Mscheeeeeeeeew!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. It is shocking reading all the comments of those are not seeing anything wrong with what the mother of the little girl did. No wonder so many children are being ABUSED every day. It is too shocking. Since this woman claims that it fine and alright for her to go into the bath room and see her father naked, does the father also comes into the bath room whenever she is naked and having her bath? If she is married ( which I doubt) , is her husband okay with this idea of her father walking into a bath room to see her naked?
    I would be happy to know this woman' response to these questions.
    It is amazing what this world is turning to.
