Early life
[edit]Aaron Charles Carter was born on December 7, 1987,<ref name="Biography Today Page 15" /> in Tampa, Florida. His parents, Jane Eleonora Schneck (née Spaulding, previously Carter) and Robert Gene Carter (1952–2017),<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> ran a retirement home. He had an older brother, Nick, a member of the Backstreet Boys, and three sisters: his twin, Angel, a model; Bobbie Jean (BJ) (1982–2023);<ref>Bobbie Jean Carter, Sister to Aaron and Nick Carter, Dead at 41</ref> and Leslie (1986–2012). In addition to his full siblings, he also had an older half-sister, Ginger Lee Carter (1972–2023),<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and a younger half-brother, Kaden Carter. The family was originally from Jamestown, New York.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Carter attended Frank D. Miles Elementary School and the Ruskin School in Florida.<ref name="Carters2">Template:Cite book</ref>
Carter's parents divorced in 2004;<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> he was told about the divorce one hour before filming his MTV Cribs episode.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In accordance with the California Child Actor's Bill, Carter's parents were supposed to put 15% of his earnings into a Coogan account.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite web</ref> As per Carter, "I gotTemplate:Spaces[...] $2 million when I turned 18 years old. I should have had at least $20 million in my account."<ref name=":0" /> After he turned 18 in 2005, Carter learned that he owed $4 million in back taxes.<ref name=":0" /> Carter claimed that his earnings had helped his parents purchase 30 cars and 15 houses; however, he did not receive any portion of the profits when they sold the properties.<ref name=":1">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=":0" /> He also claimed that his father fired a .44 Magnum near his ear to coerce him into signing a $256,000 check.<ref name=":1" /> This left Carter with 70% deafness in one ear.
Carter also had a tumultuous relationship with his siblings, with many of their feuds playing out on social media in later years. In September 2019, Carter leveled allegations of sexual abuse against his sister Leslie, who died of a drug overdose in 2012. Carter reported that the abuse began when he was ten years old, ended when he was 13, and occurred when Leslie would fail to take prescribed medication for her bipolar disorder. He also accused his brother Nick of life-long abuse, and implied that Nick also abused a female family member.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Nick's legal team denied the allegations, which surfaced after Nick and their sister Angel sought restraining orders against Aaron, who reportedly confessed to thoughts of killing Nick's then-pregnant wife, Lauren.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
