Answer:

Miss Lottie has a low social standing within the community and the children do not fear her.

Explanation:

The narrator of this story is a child, and she refers to Miss Lottie, her house and her son in very disrespectful and demeaning ways. This shows that the children of the community do not respect or fear Miss Lottie. Moreover, this is most likely a consequence of the fact that Miss Lottie has a low social standing within the community. This also explains the subsequent actions of the children, as they attack Miss Lottie without thinking about their actions.
