Cantonment Residents Facing Felony Child Neglect Charges For Kids Allegedly Living In Filth
August 25, 2025
Two Cantonment residents are facing multiple child neglect charges. Deputies maintain they failed “to provide the care, supervision, and services necessary to maintain the children’s physical health, and living in an unsanitary household with dirty diapers, food, feces, and urine on the floor.”
Hannah Marie Nichols, 24, and Matthew Daniel Glover, 25, were each charged six felony counts of child neglect.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office went to the home last week to arrest Glover on an outstanding Santa Rosa County warrant for violation of probation in a previous child neglect charge. They found him hiding in the attic of the home.
“I observed the residence to be in complete disarray and filthy. There were many used diapers, with visible urine and feces in them, scattered on the floor with some piled in a bedroom containing a pack and play. The bedroom containing the pile of used diapers had papers on top, which were molded,” a responding deputy wrote in an arrest report. “I further observed urine and feces covering the bathroom floor and scraps of old, discarded food on the floors throughout the residence. The bathtub contained discarded empty drink containers, with many large flies in the bathroom, indicating that the bathtub had not been used recently.”
“The kids appeared to have not bathed and had full diapers, with one child appearing to have old, flaking paint on their arm,” the ECSO report continues. “The mattress on the top bunk of the bunk beds did not have support slats beneath it, leaving a child susceptible to falling through it, should they climb to the top,.” I observed insect activity within the home, to include flies, gnats, and cockroaches.”
According to the ECSO, Glover and Nichols were the only two adults in the home. The ages of the children involved were redacted from the arrest report.
Nichols remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $30,000, while Glover’s bond was set at $18,000 with a hold on the outstanding Santa Rosa County warrant.

This crime should be a life sentence for both. After all, they destroyed every one of those precious children’s lives. Bless those children. Hopefully, and I pray these two are not allowed around any children ever again.
His child neglect has become child abuse !
Why make bond available to someone who is arrested for an outstanding warrant for violation of probation for a PREVIOUS child neglect charge? I’m confused as to our judicial system. People that live like this and subject children to this should not be allowed to keep them. Give these kids a chance at life.
We’re deporting the wrong people.
We send away hard workers, keep people who do this, and let them out to do it all over again.
DO NOT give those children back to them they are disgusting and no kids deserve to go through something like this I’m a mother of 3 and this disgusts me how people could do this to there own children.
@Evy
Not many know the truth of your statement.
DO NOT give the kids back—and INVESTIGATE the family instead of just giving them to memaw and papaw because they will give them back to their worthless druggy family— Give the kids a break–put them in a home with a clean family OUT of the area so the kids stand a chance in life
They failed them children the first time by returning them after the parent had already been charged before!!! They take the ones that dont need to be taken and lea e the ones that do need to be taken
System is screwed up bad!!!
Why do people do what they do !! These people obviously don’t care anything at all about these children period !! The health and well being don’t exist !!! These two don’t need want or deserve children !!! Make a prime example out of these two hopefully the court will end the abuse and put these two where they can do better in life without endangering the innocent children it’s call jail and maybe prison !!!!!
Maybe turn their house into their jail cells. Seeing they like filth. But divide house up into two cells,dont need them having anymore kids!!!!
A couple of dregs on society .
