It’s called karma or what goes around comes around; I am always fearful of that. Which is why I absolutely hate when we steal, bomb, sanction, invade or sponsor insurrection in 3rd World countries …. We are in for a world of pain.
As a adopted kid living in the USA, my mom was a single-parent and took care of me and my sister. We went from trailer parks to a women’s homeless shelter and then finally moved back in with my grandma. We were really poor and I grew up thinking it was normal to struggle so much and it was just apart of growing up. My mom passed away in April 2018 when I was 15 years old and I’m 20 now. Been on my own ever since and when the pandemic started I became homeless and stayed on the streets for two years. I’m doing a lot better now and have my own place! It’s not perfect but hey it’s mine. What I learned was that, in America it’s easier to turn a blind eye towards others suffering than it is to see yourself in their place one day. In reality though, we’re all closer to homelessness than most of us care to admit.
Your mum was amazing! She could adopt you while she herself struggled. And she left you at 15 broke my heart. I wonder how could you afford a place of your own now? Do you mind sharing me a small details? I wish you best luck because you're still so young xx
@@HappyLife-nf7wb god bless your heart, my mother was a passionate soul and she always brought people together. I can say with confidence that I got where I am because of the pure kindness and selflessness of others! Someone gave me $5 dollars for gas and there was one time where a complete stranger walked up to me while I was playing guitar in the park and offered me his two chicken sandwiches that he decided to give to me instead. I would not be where I am if it wasn’t for the kindness of a complete stranger.
That little boy who said he felt like he was the man of the house when his Dad was gone, broke my heart. Even more when he said he has nightmares about being taken away from from family, again. Stay strong little man. 💙💚
I was homeless less than a year ago. Sleeping in a car is difficult, I relied on Benadryl to get me to sleep. Back on my feet now, thank the good lord ❤
This explains very well why I left the US. Back then my family of three (husband and I are scientists with PhD degree) could just barely survive on our income. now I'm back in Germany as a single mother. Here, I easily support my child and I on a 50% job (19.25 hours a week). My child is in the daycare that my employer provides. If I were to lose my job, social security will provide for us, including apartment, daycare etc. The US is a dystopian nightmare
The US is a cut-throat environment. It’s literally the jungle, economically. A few on top getting more and more and more, giving some scraps to maintain hope in the miserable masses. 🤷♂️
And yet those systems from Germany are considered anti-freedom and communist in the US. Sure, we have to pay a lot for taxes, insurance and healthcare, but if we get sick here in Germany, have an accident or lose our jobs, we will never land on the street without a roof over the head. Everything is safe.
I have respect for the people who decided to share their stories on camera, because it can't be easy talking about being poor and struggling especially when you once had a home and a career, this is truly heartbreaking.
Been this way 2 times with children hubby got injured Another.....hubby and I old only 56 60 we I have multiple sclerosis and epilepsy finally after 3 YRS homeless . Got low income apartment with just 2 CAMP CHAIRS and bed. No fun. Rich need to see and help
Really these careers are not lost, just a bump they need help to overcome. They should be provided with assistance to overcome these issues and get back on track.
I was almost homeless so I joined the military. It’s been 12 years and I’ll never forget what it feels like to go hungry. It hurts my soul to see people suffer like this.
That’s a terrible reason to join. People who enlist in the military should do it because of pride in country and the desire to serve not as a last resort
I am in Scotland, visited Disney on holiday several times, last time I lost my purse which had keys, a fairly large sum of money and passports, a worker chased us down to who found it and refused to accept a reward, I do not believe that would happen anywhere else in the world. These staff are so hardworking, honest and courteous, they deserve fair pay and conditions.
It was the person not the company one person does not make a company. Glad you got your cash back? Dumb ass statement for this video…my opinion onl of course
It happened with my mom too at anaheim disneyland nearly 20 years ago. Her purse found and the employee initially refused the reward. Nothing wrong with disney employees the problem is with its management
@@repubug1365 Yes. That odd corporation should really increase their employees' wages to livable amounts- given those high admission fees, we all know they can afford it !!
@@rogerlemans636 People have never wanted to work. I use to live in my car at Walmart getting paid minimum wage. I own my house and have no debt/Hard work gets blessings
Yes she took in a lady who was homeless .. not 1 person would help me ehen my father threw me out as I had virus in London.. even my ex best friend wouldnt take just 2 suitcases in her garden... I hate Uk now and dread hsving to go back when my money the last of my life savings runs out no cheap hostrl there. So stay in Turkey eat a cheap sandwich everyday and live in a dorm.. who also keep putting their rate up but still cheaper ..Ill have to leave sooner than later and still dont sleep easy at 61 am drained..
@@gailsmith5231 Thanks a lot of online people are kind but 10 months on there is no solution.. noone will help I asked a church who had given me money to eat at start..but noone was there to take me in or get me a job.. my life is a nightmare.. so cant help spiralling down
@@lbunnygordon1133 Or take a £10 flight from UK to Denmark with Ryan air and get free accomodation, they have laws against homelessness so they must take in anyone that asks for shelter
This made me realize how reckless I am with money and how a lot of material things we think are important aren’t. A lot of people are blessed and don’t even realize it. I feel so small for not being thankful !
People have short memories.. it was not one man supporting a family it was often one man and his wife working day and night on the farm or in the bakery to make ends meet to support too many children that they unwisely conceived
When that little boy said he missed being social, having friends to play with, and the expression on his face showed what he was feeling inside, my already broken heart crumbled😭💔. And for the kids that are called the Disney motel kids, something tells me that they're being made fun of at school, it's so sad because it's through no fault of their own or their parents, they're doing the best that they can, they just need some help & a break.
Such a well spoken, mature, polite, thoughtful elder brother (Ryan, 13) who looks out for his siblings. May he (and his family) find peace, safety, stability and joy.
I feel sad when I see this. :( I know you mean well but I feel like complementing his maturity is kind of wrong. It’s not like he had a choice. That is emotional trauma right there. He shouldn’t have to be that mature and his age. But that is just my opinion. I wish them peace safety stability and joy too! I wonder how they are doing now. Assuming this documentary is a few years old..
@@curlyenneIn an ideal world no child would deal with trauma. We know this isn't the case in the real world. In Ryan's case, in the face of all he has to deal with, better that he be an example to his siblings to give them some semblance of peace, rather than having him lash out and be destructive to his family and society as a whole. He made a wise choice and credit must be given to him. You heard him say he has a lot of time to think.
That's right. He understand the problem his family is facing and what responsibility is, at early age. He's a good boy, great son & brother. Hope they all doing okay. It's sad to see how the most developed country can even have this problem. And they all kind & decent people
@@breezluize3282 Him being mature for his age is no guarantee he or others like him won't be destructive, unfortunately. Our adult minds can only take so much without developing issues, let alone a child's who isn't fully developed. Even he doesn't get in trouble with the law or lash out, this kind of childhood can produce a inwardly destructive person. Most of these children will need serious therapy that the US won't even offer them 😕
When the little boy said “when they all play together it just fills me up” it made me realize how much he truly loves his family and how vital it is that family stays together.
That broke my heart, poor kid should not have that kind of emotional stress. It’s different if you have nothing to compare it to, but him remembering the good times and being happier when they’re all together 💔
repent TODAY, forsake your sinful way of life, and believe in the Gospel. salvation is found only in the LORD JESUS CHRIST alone, Who took upon the sin of the world on that cross, bearing the pain and punishment we deserve(d), that our sins may be atoned for, and He is risen [in glory] for our justification, that we may be made right with GOD, that we may know Him, be adopted by Him and reconciled to Him -- forgiven, set free from the curse of sin and death, and made as new creatures in CHRIST alone.
I chose not to have children out of fear of raising them in this world. After seeing this it was a wise decision, but the love and joy children can bring is priceless.
I made the SAME decision years ago for similiar reasons & have NO regrets. In my opinion, bringing kids into this COLD & CRUEL world is a form of child abuse.
Children bring love and joy AND, broken hearts and disappointments, If I was 18 NOW, I may not have children in this sick and dilapidated world, not because the heartaches and disappointments, because this world is becoming less and less sustainable by the second, is full of dirty governments and their puppets, and the climate is changing... etc, etc. etc.
Truly I have 1 child now He"s 12 and yes he is a Blessing for me but honestly I really dont want to add another one because now a days the world is getting worse and evil.. its really a wise decision not to have imagined all the heartache suffering or any distraction discomfort trouble they will experience mental issues emotional issue trauma abuse etch they have to experience in this called game of life.. wise decisions not to have
Did that little boy just say that when he watches his sisters and brothers play, it just fills him up? What an extraordinary child. He is so admirably mature, yet it is so sad that he has lived a life which forced him to become so mature so soon.
This administration is putting many families in difficult situations. A lot of people are financially struggling to live, put a roof over their head and put food on the table. Things are getting worse these days, if you don't find means of multiplying your money you might wake up a day to realize you didn't plan well for yourself and family.
You're right everyone needs to have different streams of income, as well as a good profitable investment future. Investing part of the monthly salary in a detailed diversified investment portfolio in the financial markets is needed to survive.
I'm surprised someone mentioned here, a friend told me of her good works toward investment last month, l decided to start with $4000, l'm glad my profits hit $16,300 in few weeks, seeking for coin's investment is indeed profitable. All thanks to Margaret Johnson Arndt
This is really helpful to my situation!! Thanks, I will search her immediately with the provided name, I'll give her a head start of $3,500, to start building my retirement savings account.
As a child, I watched my mother work three different jobs to support me, her only child. She has no insurance, no retirement, and less than a thousand to her name to this day even though she went to college. As an adult I've worked at hotels and at any given time there were at least five homeless people or families living there. The people that run this country, the corporations... they are monsters.
I would like you to kindly remove yourself from all social media, cancel all your subscription services, boycott all restaurants and markets, stop driving your car if you have one, stop using utilities unless they're government entities, and stop throwing your trash away...if you hate them then stop supporting them.
The first motel owner lady is very kind and considerate. And the 13 year old big brother- my heart goes out to him. I live in India- we are middle class, but I've always had a home. I'm grateful for it and have learnt kindness.
At least they have a car. I'm dying from Stage IV cancer. My disabled adult child and I share 1 bed apt in KS and cannot afford a car. We make too much for food stamps or Medicaid without paying spend down so med bills and collection always hounding us. Don't forget student loans, Joe Biden! Thx a lot 4 nothin' POTUS.
I totally agree with you , do you think in our country this amount of unemploynent and homelessness exists ,although we re considered a developing country and our opposition parties keep complaining about various issues ,i dont think we re facing this mamoth crisis ,we re also middle class but always had a roof over our head ,education and good jobs for our kids ,comfortable living and i think our government also is leaving no stone unturned for creating cheap accomodation and all the basic necessities for the extreme poor .
@@kathyclark8274 It's amazing how many GOP voters vote against their interests simply to 'own the libs' :( How many social programs have been gutted by rich republicans who aim to give tax breaks to big corporations. So sad.
I am one of them sadly. I work hard, I am college educated, I have a child and a Father that refused to help and disappeared. What can a mother do but work and try their best? I know there are lots like me...
From South Australia and would like to thank those for sharing their story, I was homeless in Melbourne Australia between 2017 - early 2020 and am "housed" atm and doing ok. Just really sad watching this and makes me feel depressed thinking there's no help pretty much and people are left to fend for themselves pretty much.. Being homeless is one thing but having kids to go through it is just unreal.. I can't imagine it. I keep praying to God for these people and myself and family but I'm not sure he will answer my prayers. I'm not sure if one of my prayers have ever been answered. It's not fair people should go through life homeless and hungry etc. Anyway, I'll keep praying, Amen.
Family should rally around to help. Unless there are problems in the family relations. If Daniel or Amber were my kid, I would've taken in my grandkids, no question. So the young couple could be free to work. And the kids would have stability and a secure childhood. My own parents were selfish and narcissistic and would never do this for me unless I paid them.
Crazy thing is, I grew up just like that, motel to shelter, to overstaying our welcome with family and back to shelter and do it all over again. I had 40 different addresses coming up. I say that to say this, I definitely feel their struggle, may better days be ahead really soon for this family 💯👍. After I got married, I have had only 2 residences an apt and now a home I bought and built. Almost cried seeing my license address match we’re I actually lived 🙏🏽
This breaks my heart too hear life stories like yours, I’ve never been rich but thank goodness I’ve never been homeless yet. I say yet because none of us know what the future wholes. But I know what poor is and if not coming up on the farm only God knows how my life would’ve turned out, so I wish blessings to all and that we find away to get people into a home.
This documentary made me appreciate more the things that I currently have. Hoping that these people were able to turn their lives around, for the better.
Yes it was so sad I almost had to stop watching but I wanted to learn as much about this experience as I could. I am so appreciative of what I have in my life. I wish I could help these families in some way.
So much for America,it’s only since the Internet that we have been shown the truth about this nation of bullshit.My guess is that before we actually had the chance to see it for real ITS ALWAYS BEEN A COUNTRY FULL IF HOPELESS,USELESS INDIVIDUALS
....Jessicalynn, That happens when you are a reasonably intelligent child and have to take on so much responsibility, you really never get to be a "kid"; speaking from experience, but sometimes life turns out OK, despite the tremendous challenges, it turned out kind of OK for me.....wish it will turn out OK for every single one of these poor children dealt such Sh*&tty cards, they deserve some good things in life, they have to pre-pay from the day they enter this world and still often never get anything good anyway, so very sad and unfair.
Be nice to everyone because you never know what they could be going through. So depressed watching those poor kids, really hope all these families get back on their feet.
How much welfare are these families given per week? I don’t understand how the system works in the USA. I live in England. I know that benefits don’t cover much but it’s enough for a home, utilities & food. In Britain it’s usually previous dept (credit & store card minimum payments) that make life really hard for the long term unemployed. Obviously drugs are part of the ‘real’ homeless problem in Britain. I say “real” because homeless statistics include those in temporary housing, ie people living in hotels, paid for with welfare payments… I assumed that the families in this film were like the British equivalent but it seems like they have to come-up with the rent themselves, without any financial aid!?! ** Do unemployed people need to rely on charity? Why can’t these families get welfare/benefits from a government department? Things are so different in Britain. I complain about UK poverty in “one of the richest countries in the world” but it seems so very much worse in the USA!! 😢 I’m shocked (if it’s true that they aren’t given welfare cheques to pay for rent & living expenses) What happens if they can’t find any work? Are they just thrown out to live on the streets??? It seems crazy to me!! * The government took 3 of their children away because they were so poor. THEN the government pays for those children to be cared for by others??!? WHY not give the family the money? Or at least, more money to buy food, clothes etc??
@@suzimonkey345 ik from experience, welfare isnt just given to anyone (i think people pay for it with taxs idk). I remember when my parents hade to get benefits for awhile when the pandemic started and alot of the time they came in late. Either we didnt get them or they sent them all at once like 2 months later. Finding a jobs also hard because you dont just walk into a place and they give it to you- so you have to wait at least a week or somthing Idk about charity though. Aside from shelters theres not much people can do :/
Absolutely, often when a person becomes homeless, the aren’t employed and their credit rating suffers. Then it becomes quite difficult to secure housing as landlords often require potential tenants to have good credit, a huge deposit, first and last months rents and a good job history. It’s a horrible, difficult cycle that’s virtually impossible to break. Sad situation
Lol literally I've seen grown ass men acting like children at Disneyland more than the actual children. We have made a generation of weak men and double standards that don't make sense.
The young mom with the 2 small children doesn't look as if she is missing any meals AND I am certain her family became burdened BEFORE she became pregnant with her 1 yo. Sometimes we have to make hard choices in life, not be irresponsible.
@@bamilekewoman373 Poor people tend to be overweight because they eat a lot of junk food. Junk food is cheap. Healthy food is expensive unless you cook it yourself which is not an option for poor people most of the time since poor people either don't have time to cook because they are working multiple jobs, or they don't have access to a kitchen. and rich families have kids out of wedlock to. Rich people actually make all the same mistakes poor people make. Rich people are just able to recover more easily from those mistakes because they have money.
As someone who used to work for Disney I can attest to how awful it was trying to make ends meet. When I worked on the Disney College Program in 2000 I was payed $5.85/hour because it was considered an "internship". I also had to live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 5 other people and each of us was charged $265 a month for rent. I lived on cheap ramen for 5-6 months while working there. I then worked full time in entertainment at the Magic Kingdom for 3 years and left making only $8.50/hour, and that was with a 50 cent show bonus. That place is glorified slave labor.
That's. the reality of big corporations, they need this expensive high education especially in the US. Many of ppl struggling to pay off an education loan for years and then don't forget about the taxes except the loan...Its only officially on papers slavery was abolished, in reality the have the same slavery but modernised and maybe less hunger...
I did the same thing for Six Flags over Texas in an internship. Four people to an apartment and $400 each. When one got a better job, our rent went up. I had to work 60 hours or more to save money. And I worked myself out so much I got delirious and lost track of what day it was. We only got $5.50 per hour. Those amusement parks can trick people. We were each supposed to run the entire park for 1 day. It never happened. I ended up having to do a project with the Fool-the-Guesser game. And gave a presentation on it. Ran that the entire summer and worked for other people in the booths with basketball hoops/goals.
Why? These particular families are lazy irresponsible trash. They keep saying anybody can be in this situation, mentioned dental hygienists, etc but where are all these educated people in this episode? Hard working immigrants that come without speaking English do better than this 5 years later. This is irresponsibility, corporations have nothing to do with it
@@mimi_elk.7614, the rich and their bought government are destroying this country! They have $ trillions for military aid for foreign countries, (The money is going to line the pockets of the Military-Industrial Complex and their Shareholders) and there is no help for the people of this country who really need it!
That young boy just broke my heart in two, the fact he wants to spare his siblings any pain, his mum and dad any stress...No kid deserves that. The US is terribley bad at looking after it's disadvantaged families, shockingly bad. Praying for these families tonight, God bless x
This reminds me why I never got married or had children. The constant fear that one day I might not be able to provide food, shelter, or heath care, was too much to live with.
Yeah in this modern economy having kids is just a monumental task even when you think you are financially secure, the problem is globalization has brought so much uncertainty in local economies..nobody is certain of their future.
I just said something similar to my mom and she laughed 😂. Idk 🤷♀️ how my mom does it. She had three of us and still took care of us. In, her honour I am going go university and get at two degrees before she passes away.
bare minimum should be around $300+ a month per child, without any toys and stuff. Adding tuitions, college, and anything their friends have as they grow older and your own time, physical, and mental health. And being a bit OCD I need to study all child raising theories, what age to teach something and child nutrition before they even born. So I rather travel the world a few times over first....
@Jay Leno …these companies don’t pay a living wage so the government supplements worker incomes indirectly through social programs. So at the end tax payers foot the bill when corporations fail to pay living wages despite earning healthy profits…1000’s of Walmart employees nationwide are in similar circumstances. It’s corporate welfare for their lack of paying their workers a fair wage…so we all pay while big business take advantage of cheap labor
I know some people really want children but in this day and age I would think people would start thinking about how their children's lives are going to be instead of just popping them out one after the other.
Yeah i would seriously blow my brains out if i was that mom with the two little kids trying to fill out my job apps. Barf. My chest was tightening up watching that. She needs a break !!!
Larry having to live in a hotel symbolizes every wrong with our country. I’m in awe that he keeps going back to work every day to support his family and teaches his kids to do the same. If any of his children are watching this, you have an amazing dad!!
The fact that he has 5 kids and working as a greeter in any company at 52 years old… things must’ve gone terribly wrong along with some not so great decisions including financial ones. Living in a motel room is the worst in terms of finance and also living space is terrible. Financial education is key, but also education. Lots of individuals need to be grabbed by the hand to make sound decisions.
@spirals 73 that's not it....You're missing the big picture....having kids is not a right like we think it is...It's a privelege....well thought out with the money to back it up....Hell, you gotta have a license to fish.....why not a licens to have kids??
What the general public doesn't realize unless they've been there, that once people are caught in the "poverty loop", life becomes more expensive than somebody that has their life together. Food is more expensive because you're buying it meal by meal with no way to cook, they're burning gas looking for a place to sleep, most likely any bills include late fees, your credit is likely bad which can exclude you from jobs and definitely exclude you from a place to live as well. The things you're not excluded from you will be charged more due to your credit. The uphill battle gets steeper and steeper once you're at this point.
You can come out of it but most likely it takes much longer than most people can deal with it I know from experience the only way out is to find a place to live that you can afford and save the smallest amount of money I lived in the smallest apartment I could find in a rundown area it cost me $100 a week but that included utilities and I had my own shower and bathroom and it had a refrigerator and a stove top so I could cook stuff and keep stuff cold and I worked a seasonal job where I made about for 500 bucks a week for like seven months a year but in the winter time I didn’t make anything except whatever type of work I could come across and it was during the great recession that I was doing this mostly it was just temporary labor jobs or a car wash I worked at McDonald’s for a little while but it took me about six years to finally get my shit together enough to move into a house and to most people they wouldn’t make it six months but like I said the secret is you have to live in someway to save money if you can save $25 a week and $50 a week after your living expenses then you can multiply that number by how many weeks it will take you to advance yourself and if it’s $25 a week you’re able to save well then maybe it will take you Two years of living like that to get them move somewhere else but it’s very hard it’s very hard and there’s a lot of ways to give up
I am homeless and know of 3 other women who are living in their cars. They pay hundreds to store their belongings in storage units. The worst part is being sleep deprived. Staying clean and organized takes up an exorbitant amount of time. I have SS and drive for food delivery service which results in the car requiring repair and maintenance. Car insurance in Florida is based on credit score and I am paying 382.00 a month for AAA insurance. I had a few minor parking lot accidents as well.
Exactly! I was just thinking about how much more expensive it is to be poor when my bank was going over the 15$ fee that would be applied to my account every month if I don't maintain my minimum balance. Its standard but just one more thing... and I'm sure we could brainstorm even more examples but it certainly seems intentional to me.
The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse is near.
Collapse is generous 1st time in our history with a full generation that wasn't taught financial literacy, civics, Google fixes their problems if their parents don't do it for them. Reckoning for participation trophies is incoming
Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire. Personally I hired ‘’"Nicole Ann Sabin"’’ a financial advisor who sets asset allocation that fits my tolerance and risk capacity, investment horizon, present and future goals.
Im 42.. I raised 4 children on my own, had multiple jobs at one point with no electricity in my apartment sometimes or very little food but always had a roof over out heads. Never was on assistance, but I never took my kids to disney or places like it. I never understood how people could afford it. I educated myself as much as I could. Saved every penny, I could sometimes that meant no Christmas. But eventually I was able to buy my first home. We would go on hikes, outdoor camping or to a lake for family time. My kids are now 26-16 and thankfully are good well-adjusted people. It is difficult but not impossible.
Same here. We put in a 4 foot by 15 above ground pool 20 years ago. Never had a vacation but we've always had fun here. My kids are grown now and own their own homes, have worked since 15 and listened about managing money well. If this nightmare in DC continues, everyone will be homeless 😮
I moved out of the US because I just couldn’t afford it. And I didn’t want to live in a country who prioritizes corporations and spends majority of their money on the military. So thankfully I had amazing parents so I stayed with them while I saved up a lot of money and got a job in another country. I never looked back (my parents left a few months after me). It’s sad how this country is collapsing right before our eyes.
@Janet Pratt allot of times these people start out in a decent posistion. Life happens people lose their jobs, buisnesses shut down, medical bills add up. Super sad that people like you blame the children.
@@faithachildoftheonetruegodI don’t think she was blaming children and many people don’t lay their foundation before having children. Let’s be real here. Many people rely on government assistance to help aide them in taking care of their children. I have family members who have relied on and been on assistance for generations. You don’t continue to have children when your situation is already dire.
This was a really eye opening documentary. It is hard to fathom that this is the reality of being American. I felt bad that it has come down to this. The fact that Disney was paying that man pennies compared to the revenue that is generated literally disgusted me. Have respect for your employees and pay them what they are worth and an amount commensurate with the cost of living. Thank you for sharing this very honest glimpse into what American has become.
Meh. Larry is working a minimum wage job. Minimum skills, minimum wage. Larry has worked for 30 years and is not applying himself. A student can do the exact same work Larry can do. This is not the state of America. This is the state of Larry.
@@wan3416 College students who work at Disney; the Big Disney characters that walk around etc, live on the premises. They are also paid minimum wage, their living quarters no better then dorm rooms, and their rent is deducted from their pay. It's definitely the state of Disney, and of America. When the hurricanes hit in 2007 Disney mandated their employees show up to work even tho 30,000 homes in the area were destroyed, power lines down, no water to be found, no way to.get to Disney because the roads were blocked...show up or get fired. Disney corporation IS the face of corporate America and is NASTY.
He said he started out at $7.40, and he now makes $8.20, which took two and a half years. That's really bad. He seems like a very nice guy as well. Poverty in America seems to only be getting worse. This really hurts me to watch.
I hate that instead of giving assistance so these kids can stay WITH their loving parents, the state puts them in a strangers house! And pay THEM to keep the kids. Such bullsh!t. Look at the eyes of that oldest son.
sorry, but If you can't afford to house and feed kids, you shouldn't have kids...period. These people are living in one of the most expensive places in the US, and this is why they are in that situation. They need to move, and get a job where they can afford to live. Not live in a tourist trap.
@@shannonburke275 Yes I agree for the most part, but I’m a lot of cases financial circumstances change AFTER the kids are already here. As the doc showed, the man used to have a stable job and home. Believe me, I am a huge advocate of birth control and reproductive responsibility.
So many young ones these days use all this elaborate language with the longest possible words to describe what they're saying. I often think a few simple words can say so much more
Harsh Patel, it's really bad news what ended up happening with the mother living in the red Dodge Durango with her two little girls. There wasn't enough evidence to have Daniel go to trial for killing the guy with the hatchet it was a neighbor Bourbon County Kentucky, did have to do about 135 days in jail from resisting arrest and running from the police. I looked it up, these two little girls ended up in the care of Daniel's mother. I don't know what happened to Daniel he did get off but he had killed another man before that when he was 15 he was 25 in this documentary. This documentary was filmed around 2008 and made it to being released around 2012 in recent, about 2021, Amber had given birth two more times and legally arrested because these two babies these two extra more babies, were found to have been born with meth in their system. Pray for all of them. The two little girls would be about 12 years older now.
@@selfesteem3447 That is awful that those poor kids were given to Daniels abusive 'mother'. It was her fault that he was charged as a 15 year old after she set her brother on her own child. By all accounts, she frequently physically abused him & he rebelled & started getting into trouble in school. She told her brother to come over & discipline him, he turned up with rope & multiple weapons, beat him senseless & told him he was going to hogtie him & hang him up in the barn & "set him straight". Their property was very rural & this monster uncle was drunk & had opioids in his system , I can't begin to imagine the what that poor 15 year old child went through :'( Then, when for the 2nd time in his life a drunk armed man burst into his home, having to endure prison too is heartbreaking
@@albagubrath9073 thank you for the updates, Alba and Self esteem, although they’re not happy ones. Makes me SO thankful for what I have and not take it for granted, ya know?!
@Dan Reardon and I have moved to socialist countries. And it’s call beautiful Vietnam 🇻🇳 and beautiful 🇨🇳 hahahahaha lol 😂!!!! I don’t have a big car 🚘 or a big screen TVs, but I sure have a very wonderful and comfortable life and I enjoy every minutes of it . Why? China visually have no homeless and very low crimes . No tents cities like the USA AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD . Super clean no trash and no plastic bottle and paper bags on the streets and super modern like you are living 40 years ahead in the future. Very futuristic city. The streets are brand new no dilapidated and potholes on the streets. The rent and food is cheap and affordable on both countries - Vietnam and China . People are extremely friendly and kind in general , and we have a lot of beautiful paradise beaches. China got the fastest bullet train and meglev trains in the world 🌎!!! So there is not much things for me complain . Life is very good over here hahahahaha lol 😂😂😂😃😃😃👍👍👍👍🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳💕💕💕 and I love 💕 it !!!
I know right??!! How can one apply for a job if you have 2 little kids in tow? Even if you get it, who's going to look after them while you're working? The welfare system should accommodate more families.
@@drunkensailor112 they probably had children and had a good life before it all went to shit. If they decided to have one after getting kicked out though, then that’s on them for being stupid
For those who didn't know: Daniel was found in self-defense and only served charges relating to his arrest--evading it, resisting it etc. etc. which amounted to 135 days. Apparently he had also killed his uncle when he was 15 (about a decade ago at the time of the documentary airing in 2012) but was acquitted on those charges as well on another self-defense plea. I don't know any more updates than that.
I searched for this when I first watched this documentary. It popped up again today and left me wondering what the outcome was - I couldn’t remember, so thank you!
this is what happens when rent and home prices increase 100-400+% over the last 10 years while wages stay the same. it used to be the best man for the job.. now it’s the cheapest man for the job.
"wage increase causes inflation" No greedy fuckers cause it. Owners use to be happy with 20% profit. Now everyone wants to be rich right away so they just keep increasing their profit margins.
I spent 4 years homeless as a child with my Mom and sister. This was back before day care existed. At 12 I got a job working (illegally) in a restaurant and was able to buy school clothes for the 1st time in memory - a single pair of jeans and a shirt each. I was SO HAPPY! You don't realize the trauma you carry into adulthood after that. I feel for these families and they are so relatable. In the wealthiest country.
You my friend exemplify the American Dream in that dipite you're challenging circumstances YOU CHOSE to WORK and pull yourself up by you're boot straps you are living proof the American Dream is alive and well It's just not a point and click affair you have to get after it and stay after it but you already know that
Well it's Disney we're talking about, you know, the same company that filmed the remake of Mulan in china in a uighur concentration camp because it was cost effective?
Yet the state of Florida, which sets the minimum wage, only saw fit to to remove Disney's tax breaks when they said "gay". Talk about misguided priorities.
This is so terrible, imagine as a parent not being able to provide your children a safe place to sleep. 💔😢 We're all just one paycheck away, absolutely terrifying and heartbreaking
@Opal Allen If that's the case why are people on the streets as in the film, and by the looks of it this is getting worse everyday? Why is there no compulsory compensation when people lose their jobs as there is in other civilised countries? Where is the social care these people need? Every country has homeless and issues but for the USA, this is truly shocking. Your country is a mess.
@@abeautifulcountry9353 Pride. That is why. I have noticed that people (mostly white people) don’t know there are welfare or too ashamed to get it. Medical care is actually free for poor people, especially those with many kids like these. All they need is to put their pride away, and ask for help.
@@DH-hz6rv That's true, but there's always an unexpected medical bill, wrongful incarceration, or a natural disaster. Lots of people who lived within their means are homeless after COVID.
he made me cry, my son is same age and this boy is forced to be like adult in this age..children shlould be children, this is heartbroking to see..love from🇨🇿
I hope it does't have affect him too much load for child. The worries he has this heavy load that should belong to the parents poor baby hoping to keep the family together. But I'll tell you somthingthe 2 odder ones are already in foster care. It's not a good sign, i hope they unite ,. Best wishes !
I have had to stay in a hotel room with my family and it was really hard to make ends meet cause even a cheap hotel isn’t cheap and it’s not a place to be with a child or children. Shame on Disney for paying such low wages 🤬
He was only nine and everything he said was heartbreaking. When asked about his dreams he said all he had nightmares. His mother minimizing his desire to return to school was horrible. School would allow him to be a child for a short time at least 😞
He didn't have a choice. Children are forced to mature early and treated like adults with household responsibilities in rough situations like these, regardless of how they feel about it.
The big brother is a CHILD it is not his role. I hope the DCFS people take what he says as the direction that he and his siblings go in. He's put in that role by the abhorrent people that are his parents. If I was a social worker I'd be happy to just create a plan with the older brother what will happen for him and his kids. The brother who's probably not even in high school yet is more of a man than his dad. Biologically his dad's an adult, in every other way absolutely not. I'd make an ironclad case for child neglect and law enforcement would go handle his despicable excuse for parents.
Larry's cheerful attitude is admirable, as is everyone's courage and patience. This must be so hard. The whole situation is sad and disheartening. God bless them.
$149 a week, impossible to find anything less than $100 a night in our state. My husband and I lived in our vehicles for a year, parked at night in an interstate rest area. Rental apartments were beyond our means...we make $17,000 a year. Finally we were blessed with his boss selling his motor home to us and we were able to move to an area with campgrounds. My husband is a Vietnam Vet; sad to see what he has to endure given that he gave his all for his country.
Well, DisneyLand employees are begging for job relocation at DisneyWorld, since they can’t afford to live in California but they would do somewhat better in Florida.
The woman with the 2 girls desperately trying to find work while fighting to keep the kids in check just had me in tears. I've been without a job and home and also a single mom trying to make ends meet, but never both at the same time. I feel so much for her I'd probably take her in without a thought if I saw her struggeling on the street
I don't see why she isn't in the same area as where the husband has a job/connecting. Now she's on her own 24/7 living in a car and no job. She should live with the partner and look for a job for when he's not working. She could work 4-5 h every evening, for instance.
I'm sorry but that's garbage. She has two kids and they didn't probably have the income with their original jobs to properly house and feed them. Who's fault is that? Why is it that people can just keep making bad choices and it's on everybody else to bail them out? She's talking about him moving back to San Diego. Both of them together won't make the median income in the area so they will be giving their kids a dysfunctional future. They won't save or make the hard choices.
Everyone keeps saying "this was 2012 ..." I can promise you it's a lot worse now. I hope these families are doing better as well. I just hope that this past year has opened even more peoples eyes to the fact that you can work hard and still end up homeless. It's the government and big corporations in bed together that's the problem.
@@carolinekanini6342 yes way worse. I'm a certified nursing assistant in MA and if you don't get the vaccine you have no job. Even exemptions are not accepted.
EXACTLY. This was pre-pandemic, pre-Trump, pre-general strike & shortage of goods that came with the pandemic. We're now at a full-blown crisis with homelessness & poverty. 1 in 6 children in America goes to bed hungry at this very moment. Domestic violence is at an all-time high due to pandemic stress, layoffs and distance learning. Not to mention that whole Civil War we almost had in 2020.
Who knows if it's just an act. The father is actually a serial manslaughter. If you google his name Daniel Carter Pensacola you can find records that he's killed before.
@@leapfrog_george I was very curious to know if he was found guilty or not of that crime (the result was not guilty, it was self-defence). And I've learned when he was a teenager he had been found not guilty of killing his uncle (it was self-defence too). He seemed such a devoted father, now I really sorry to know about his many arrests since 2012.
@@leapfrog_george he stabbed him 10 times.. this documentary portrayed him as a good and father🤦♀️I've been researching trying to find out if the kids are ok. Have you found anything? I came across an article written by The educated Housewife on Google..she shared a mugshot of a woman wanted for child abuse..she had 2 different babies that tested for meth and cocaine. The mugshot looks like amber..this documentary was filmed in 2012 so its hard to really tell if that's her or not. In the article is states that the girls may of went into foster care. If you come across something will you lmk? God bless and stay safe♡
a lack of money should NEVER be a reason to place children in foster care. Other than the damaging effect on children and families, the costs for the state are very much higher to place a child in foster care, than to simply support the family economically and avoid them getting seperated.
@@marianliscinsky2789 these people could afford their children when they had them. They lost their jobs. Instead of the government paying money for foster care they can help the working families financially so the children have stability. Don't forget anybody can lose their health and job. Even single, rich people with no kids can become homeless.
Zero-sick days, zero-vacation days, zero health care, zero dental care, zero unemployment insurance, but America has 700+ military bases in 130+ nations, yeah.......sad.....
I pay $150/ticket per person (easily $800 for a family of 4 if food included), and the actual workers who work Disney World barely earn minimum wage. Magical place.
Not using your head. Disneylands total operating costs are over 5 million A DAY. The tickets are not just paying for wages. 2nd, if a guy who is 50 is doing the same job a teenager with less than a weeks training can do, why does he deserve a wage to support a family with 5 kids? Having a more expensive lifestyle doesnt make you more valuable. Its a sad situation, but this is what happens in times of ecanomic downturn. Opportunities dry up. Adapt if you can, ride it out if you cant.
@@jacekicksass why? Because i have a brain? Nice use of your typical socialist catchphrase by the way. How original. You go open a business and pay an unskilled worker with a weeks training the same as an ophthalmologist with 15 years experience and see how much sense that makes.
@@slickstrings in some countries even "unskilled" workers get a living wage, several weeks of paid time off and free healthcare and it works perfectly fine, everybody is happy
@@evgeniisemanov3399 very broad and inaccurate statement. For example, in australia you might be an unskilled worker as say, a machine operator in a factory. If you are full time, you will get annual leave, sick leave and possibly a semi decent hourly rate thanks to uncomfortable conditions or danger. A part time unskilled worker in a supermarket will not get sick leave or annual leave and will probably get min wage, and as their pay rate goes up, the hours they are given to work goes down. That has been shown to happen in germany since the introduction of min wage as well. Also, what is a 'living wage'? Living for whos expenses? In what area? Living costs are different from suburb to suburb let alone city to city. Should a job a high school kid can do pay for a 2 cars, tvs and a mortgage? Who gets to define what exactly a living wage is? The fact is, if you want to earn more, you either upskill or do a job that others dont want or cannot do. If there is 1000s of people just as capable of doing your job, youre not worth much. 'Living wage' is such a stupid term that is vague and meaningless. You live within your means, and work to earn the means to support the way you want to live.
To see this level of poverty, homelessness in a developed country is shocking. I was shocked at the low salaries people earn. Seeing this makes me grateful for what I have and how blessed me and my family are. God Bless them all
The professional white-collar jobs pay better in the US. Doctors, engineers, lawyers, accountants, etc. usually make more than their counterparts in the UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ, but the lower-middle class or working class jobs do not have the same benefits or level of comfort or pay.
I know folks who worked for years for a large, church backed NPO thrift store, a national chain. Only got COLA minimum wage raises while the CEO-CFO-HRD, all ministers, got six-figure incomes AND cherry picked valuable donations to their offices. Sofas, chairs, desks, paintings. This "decor" disappeared when they retired, cleaned out their office and kept their individual (paid) church positions.
Getting evicted as a homeowner takes a long time. Why do these people keep having kids when they already know they are in financial problems? poor kids don't deserve to live like this.
i’m so glad somebody else made this point. these people are extremely irresponsible for having all of these children and subjecting them to such torture. the counter argument “they were stable before” doesn’t apply either. clearly their work ethics were shit and they managed to fuck up home ownership. they are irresponsible and terrible parents
This little boy, that is a "big brother ", and the "men of the house " ,when dad is not at home...just breaks my heart, how intelligent and mature he is. Hope they are doing better now💟
That's the norm and reality for many, particularly those from 3rd world nations and living in poverty. Many children wake up in the morning and head to "work" rather than get ready for a day that consists of "learning in a classroom"
Original Unoriginal ikr? This whole documentary is just privileged western people complaining about privileged western problems. Maybe if all these lardasses cut back on their food bill, they could afford their rent.
There was a time when couples had children because they had something to offer them. Too many these days are having children so they can get a relaxing life of care on somebody else’s dime. They can’t seem to do anything, but they sure know how to pump out those babies.
Agreed, I can't believe why so many people have over 4 kids?! Then again I'm no american, and nothing against religion, but kids cost money. Either these families had it WAY better when they had those kids or they're literally dreaming. Are having a lot of kids nowadays a means to ensure your own retirement? seems like that was the idea.. put everything on your kids' shoulders.
My grandpa taught me a good lesson: he said - do not even think about children until you ALREADY have the means to provide for them all the way through college and some time after.
I agree in principle, but NO ONE would ever have kids then lol But yes having six kids imo is irresponsible nowadays. Unless you're rich. Kids should be able to have a good life, not be fighting for scraps.
We had one child 2 full time incomes. You cannot make chidren just because you are able. Its not fair or kind to them. Having savings to support the children you make in case of an emergency should be paramount not just making babies.
Vasectomy or tubal ligation is a good idea if they do not have homes or income. These procedures should be free for poor people and these procedures can be reversed.
They're not 100% reversible. Vasectomies are more so because you can just take the material out of testicles with a syringe, it's painful and expensive. IUDs and implants like Nexplanon are better for people who still want kids in the future. They last for a few years (around 4, iirc) and don't need constant buying to be effective like BC pills would.
I'm from Canada and it's just as bad, only min wage jobs available, rents crazy high even for a room, and government supports have ended now. People are suffering everywhere. I'm trying to hold onto my apartment but barely make enough to pay rent.
As a EU citizen, it’s hard to imagine this in the richest and most powerful country in the world…if the US spend less on their military budget each year and focus on their citizen and declining infrastructure, everyone could have a better life…it’s hard to imagine that a country has 800 military bases around the world would not rather spend on their own people…so sick to see these kids struggle
The US army is incapable of winning real wars. Therefore the military budget is a scam. It exists because it is the simplest solution for so many people both Uber rich and not so rich to have guaranteed sources of revenue of all kinds. In Afghanistan they have just proved they are good for nothing. The military budget is bloated for the same reason the speculative housing market is bloated : everyone wants to make a living through finance and no one wants to produce real things any more. But however bloated the military is it is incapable and also without intention of winning real wars. They were able to demolish Iraq but nothing there has been really conquered and rebuilt for real Americans : the Americans are now in a worse position there than they were when Saddam was still there. If these military bases worked for real like they did in Europe during the Marshall Plan they would be a factor of prosperity.
americans have enough handouts already. I got 3 degrees for free and have very affordable health insurance. I hate seeing all these lazy people leech of the system and still continue to complain. I'm a social worker so I've seen it all.
Because they are not richest country in the world ... We Europeans are not rich either but we live 10 times better than USA citizens... USA become "rich" after WW2 when they were alowed to print endless money from nothing and use it to buy goods from other countries with worthless pices of paper... Now we do the same with Euro.... When big countries like China Russia etc drop dollar and stop using it, USA will learn what inflation Venezuelan style is .... When Gadaffi announced that he will not accept dollar any more he was assassinated the same js with Saddam.... Question is for how long will this charade last Population is growing so fast that nobody can keep up with it food will be next currency...
You are preaching to the Choir. Wars make the rich, richer. There's no empathy for homelessness here. If you have a minimum wage job and no benefits you are just spinning your wheels. Only the 2% that pay no taxes has it made in the U.S. I've never seen so many unhappy people who have so much...just overflowing with wealth & no heart for those without.
Just finished watching this documentary. As someone that does not live in America. When I was younger I saw America as this amazing place with all its tall buildings, the glitz and glamour. It was a place I wanted to visit and possibly move to. After watching this im not so sure about that.
That mom with her 2 girls...MAN I feel her!! I was homeless for 10 months, with my 3 boys. It feels so hopeless sometimes!! I REALLY hope they're good now.
@@denobarroga degrees are no guarantee of gainful employment. Collage is a business and student loan default is proof of that. It was priviledged white men who decided that only those with money should be able to birth children so that's sick and twisted logic. Always easiest to blame the individual then to critically look at this corrupt capitalist system and how.it creates and guarantees different classes of people.
Could never afford to marry or have kids, so have remained single. Finance is the #1 reason couples divorce. It’s not right to impoverish a spouse, much less children, and risk leaving them minus a full time parent, and all the problems that go with it--poor nutrition, poor physical and mental health, poor school attendance and more than five times as likely to not complete high school, victims of bullying, teen pregnancy, involvement in gangs, drugs, and the penal system, difficulty with relationships, suicide, and shortened life expectancy.
Seems like most who are poor with kids never thought that they should have financial security first. I have 2 on my own but was always working toward greener pastures. Years later, I make 6 figures and can live on next to nothing and spend a lot on my kids if I need to. Too many people just don't know how to manage money, they were never taught. Seeing these kids living like this breaks my heart. I have no doubt their parents love them.
@@danieldoucet9121 when the guy in the video mentioned he knows both sides because in the past he had cars, boat, water skiing, going on holidays etc He was clearly not saving for potential hard times and blew his money on fun stuff and now has to live in a motel with his 5 kids
@@henknagel That's an unfair statement. You have no idea how long they lived off their savings before they ran out. People commonly live according to their income and when that changes drastically they can only maintain it for so long. If anything, most people tend to spend too much of their savings maintaining the life they had instead of liquidating what they can and moving to cheaper accommodations. It's hard to give up the house you worked and saved so hard for when your income changes.
This is so sad. I'm so sad that we live in a society where billionaires have more money than they will ever be able to spend while billions of people around the world struggle with housing, food, and healthcare

I know their situation is not a good one probably for all sorts of reasons, but I did admire Ambers calm and pleasant manner, and how she really tried to protect her kids from the stress of their adult problems, and let them be "kids". I really hope things worked out for them.
I remember being shocked at the number of homeless in LA, while travelling on tour bus hop on-hop off. They were in the parks , at the sides of the road and under bridges. I thought that this is the same as a third world country. Meanwhile, those in gated communities in Beverly Hills were on another planet. It seems the world is now divided by those who have and those who do not.
When a 3-year old child says, I'm not happy anymore just broke my heart. From one mum to another it must be incredibly difficult, to comprehend the challenges that she faces. God bless you from the UK 🇬🇧
Yet President is giving free healthcare housing food to illegals forever That’s why they are coming and none are mandated to get the shot to stop the spread😡 Why would he do that to the American people ?
Absolutely heartbreaking. Governments have encouraged and now change laws to protect the growing wealth gap. Humans are considered externalities. It's shameful how society has lost its way.

@@BruceLee-kl3fp I know this response will generate opprobrium, but here goes anyway; In my experience of teaching young people I have noticed, pretty much without exception, that lavishing parental love upon a child builds lifelong strength and confidence in the recipient. This has little to do with the provision of material "stuff." Children from financially disadvantaged backgrounds who were able to rely unequivocally on parental warmth and emotional reinforcement invariably fared better in school than those deprived of this support. Children seemed to flourish, as long as they were bathed in parental love, regardless of their parents' levels of affluence. That is not, of course, to say that childhood deprivation is not a crippling scourge on our most vulnerable citizens.
@@laurence2824 what are u talking about??? Where is the parental love if kids are being taken away by the gov.? Parental love if u make 6 kids live in one room??

@@BruceLee-kl3fp Families from deprived backgrounds can easily find themselves in situations where they can't cope. There's no point (or indeed practical value) in wishing things weren't the way they are. I came close to being put into care when, as a toddler, my mother had to shoplift in order to feed me and my father had to beg hand-towels from his site manager to use as makeshift diapers for me and my baby sister. It is only the love I received, which I remember from that period. We lived in a bed-sitting-room with my mother cooking on a two-ring heating element for the four of us. Birthday gifts were being allowed to pick whichever box of budget sweeties we liked best. When my baby sister died, while we were playing, my parents took care of the situation, carefully protecting me from the associated trauma. My mother was already pregnant with my brother. It was only in my teens that my parents explained my baby sister had been suffering from kidney cancer (so they'd even had to deal with that under those deplorable circumstances). I went on to become a senior university lecturer. My brother became a successful session musician and care-worker. Please believe me when I say that without my parents' penniless love, my brother and I would never have pulled through. Being put into care would have been the end of everything for us.
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
@@AgendaInMind Wow. Nice comments on the times. People are driving themselves everywhere except reality and truth. The media indeed has much to do with spreading vast amounts of misinformation. Knowledge and skill can help one untangle the mess to find truth imbedded in the various media offered. But most do not possess these skills. They believe whatever seems true and documented (falsely). Most people don't like information that does not pass through their filters. It's too uncomfortable often promoting change. I have the hardest time understanding why enough people supported Trump to put him in office. Trump has been bankrupt too many times to count. He likes 🥥 as he can play the shell game on everyone. He throws people under the bus. He lies about his "friends"(?). He is telling people not to testify against him because he's an immune president(?). He may actually be broke. He had his father bail him out of many of his failed business ventures. Trump was fired from his own shark show. This is over-the-top info to reject him. He went into the presidency as a huge worldwide embarrassment. No proper interactions. Insulting many dignitaries. It's like having beer drinking Billy Carter, the brother of President Carter, in office. Billy did manage to come up with Billy Beer while his brother was in office. I do not want Trump. I do not want Billy. I do not want ignorant fools in my office. I need a Roosevelt or Kennedy or Johnson. I need a well dressed man or woman. One who has decorum to show the people the best way to play. Then I want a new president to lead us; To guide us to a better way of life. We want houses and cars and spouses. We want clean air and freedom without cartoons. Let's welcome new ways and be refreshed in the anewed world our president will help us create.

This idea I understand and can see how it has worked within my life. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I believe my healing will be much better focused.

As a adopted kid living in the USA, my mom was a single-parent and took care of me and my sister. We went from trailer parks to a women’s homeless shelter and then finally moved back in with my grandma. We were really poor and I grew up thinking it was normal to struggle so much and it was just apart of growing up. My mom passed away in April 2018 when I was 15 years old and I’m 20 now. Been on my own ever since and when the pandemic started I became homeless and stayed on the streets for two years. I’m doing a lot better now and have my own place! It’s not perfect but hey it’s mine. What I learned was that, in America it’s easier to turn a blind eye towards others suffering than it is to see yourself in their place one day. In reality though, we’re all closer to homelessness than most of us care to admit.
Don't count me in at all I'm not close to that 😂
I am sorry to hear your struggles and hope it gets better get certified in someone in computers
Your mum was amazing! She could adopt you while she herself struggled. And she left you at 15 broke my heart. I wonder how could you afford a place of your own now? Do you mind sharing me a small details? I wish you best luck because you're still so young xx

@@HappyLife-nf7wb god bless your heart, my mother was a passionate soul and she always brought people together. I can say with confidence that I got where I am because of the pure kindness and selflessness of others! Someone gave me $5 dollars for gas and there was one time where a complete stranger walked up to me while I was playing guitar in the park and offered me his two chicken sandwiches that he decided to give to me instead. I would not be where I am if it wasn’t for the kindness of a complete stranger.

This explains very well why I left the US. Back then my family of three (husband and I are scientists with PhD degree) could just barely survive on our income. now I'm back in Germany as a single mother. Here, I easily support my child and I on a 50% job (19.25 hours a week). My child is in the daycare that my employer provides. If I were to lose my job, social security will provide for us, including apartment, daycare etc. The US is a dystopian nightmare
Das witzige daran ist, dass der americanische Traum in Deutschland WIRKLICH zu erreichen ist....und traurig
The US is a cut-throat environment. It’s literally the jungle, economically. A few on top getting more and more and more, giving some scraps to maintain hope in the miserable masses. 🤷♂️
And yet those systems from Germany are considered anti-freedom and communist in the US. Sure, we have to pay a lot for taxes, insurance and healthcare, but if we get sick here in Germany, have an accident or lose our jobs, we will never land on the street without a roof over the head. Everything is safe.

Girl same here. I literally stop shopping for clothes as of last year.
People have short memories.. it was not one man supporting a family it was often one man and his wife working day and night on the farm or in the bakery to make ends meet to support too many children that they unwisely conceived

When that little boy said he missed being social, having friends to play with, and the expression on his face showed what he was feeling inside, my already broken heart crumbled😭💔. And for the kids that are called the Disney motel kids, something tells me that they're being made fun of at school, it's so sad because it's through no fault of their own or their parents, they're doing the best that they can, they just need some help & a break.
Kids can be cruel beasts.
I know, how very sad. 😢
Such a well spoken, mature, polite, thoughtful elder brother (Ryan, 13) who looks out for his siblings. May he (and his family) find peace, safety, stability and joy.
I feel sad when I see this. :( I know you mean well but I feel like complementing his maturity is kind of wrong. It’s not like he had a choice. That is emotional trauma right there. He shouldn’t have to be that mature and his age. But that is just my opinion. I wish them peace safety stability and joy too! I wonder how they are doing now. Assuming this documentary is a few years old..
@@curlyenneIn an ideal world no child would deal with trauma. We know this isn't the case in the real world. In Ryan's case, in the face of all he has to deal with, better that he be an example to his siblings to give them some semblance of peace, rather than having him lash out and be destructive to his family and society as a whole. He made a wise choice and credit must be given to him. You heard him say he has a lot of time to think.
I wept for him.... He's so brave.
That's right. He understand the problem his family is facing and what responsibility is, at early age. He's a good boy, great son & brother. Hope they all doing okay. It's sad to see how the most developed country can even have this problem. And they all kind & decent people
@@breezluize3282 Him being mature for his age is no guarantee he or others like him won't be destructive, unfortunately. Our adult minds can only take so much without developing issues, let alone a child's who isn't fully developed. Even he doesn't get in trouble with the law or lash out, this kind of childhood can produce a inwardly destructive person. Most of these children will need serious therapy that the US won't even offer them 😕
When the little boy said “when they all play together it just fills me up” it made me realize how much he truly loves his family and how vital it is that family stays together.
That broke my heart, poor kid should not have that kind of emotional stress. It’s different if you have nothing to compare it to, but him remembering the good times and being happier when they’re all together 💔
repent TODAY, forsake your sinful way of life, and believe in the Gospel.
salvation is found only in the LORD JESUS CHRIST alone, Who took upon the sin of the world on that cross, bearing the pain and punishment we deserve(d), that our sins may be atoned for, and He is risen [in glory] for our justification, that we may be made right with GOD, that we may know Him, be adopted by Him and reconciled to Him -- forgiven, set free from the curse of sin and death, and made as new creatures in CHRIST alone.
Hearing this boy say that, brought a tear. I don’t know what the answers are and I know anyone can be in these circumstances in the blink of an eye.
He looks like he's 8 and speaks like a grown man. He had to grow up to take care of his siblings, he lost his childhood. It's heartbreaking.

I chose not to have children out of fear of raising them in this world. After seeing this it was a wise decision, but the love and joy children can bring is priceless.
I made the SAME decision years ago for similiar reasons & have NO regrets. In my opinion, bringing kids into this COLD & CRUEL world is a form of child abuse.
Children bring love and joy AND, broken hearts and disappointments, If I was 18 NOW, I may not have children in this sick and dilapidated world, not because the heartaches and disappointments, because this world is becoming less and less sustainable by the second, is full of dirty governments and their puppets, and the climate is changing... etc, etc. etc.
I hear you. I would have loved to have children and yes at the same time the way the world is - forget it.
I see your point but my children are one of the few beacons of light that keep me from going nuts.
Truly I have 1 child now He"s 12 and yes he is a Blessing for me but honestly I really dont want to add another one because now a days the world is getting worse and evil.. its really a wise decision not to have imagined all the heartache suffering or any distraction discomfort trouble they will experience mental issues emotional issue trauma abuse etch they have to experience in this called game of life.. wise decisions not to have
Hearing that little boy talk about the responsibility he takes at such a young age brought tears to my eyes.
It felt like it sucked the oxygen out of me....what an admirable strong soul for such a little guy.

Kid is amazing, hope he is offered some real opportunities.
Yea he said he has lots of time to think 🤔
If your family is being broken apart then you gain a sense of what is important

Just really sad watching this and makes me feel depressed thinking there's no help pretty much and people are left to fend for themselves pretty much.. Being homeless is one thing but having kids to go through it is just unreal.. I can't imagine it. I keep praying to God for these people and myself and family but I'm not sure he will answer my prayers. I'm not sure if one of my prayers have ever been answered.

Family should rally around to help. Unless there are problems in the family relations. If Daniel or Amber were my kid, I would've taken in my grandkids, no question. So the young couple could be free to work. And the kids would have stability and a secure childhood. My own parents were selfish and narcissistic and would never do this for me unless I paid them.
Crazy thing is, I grew up just like that, motel to shelter, to overstaying our welcome with family and back to shelter and do it all over again. I had 40 different addresses coming up. I say that to say this, I definitely feel their struggle, may better days be ahead really soon for this family 💯👍.

How much welfare are these families given per week? I don’t understand how the system works in the USA. I live in England. I know that benefits don’t cover much but it’s enough for a home, utilities & food. In Britain it’s usually previous dept (credit & store card minimum payments) that make life really hard for the long term unemployed.
Obviously drugs are part of the ‘real’ homeless problem in Britain. I say “real” because homeless statistics include those in temporary housing, ie people living in hotels, paid for with welfare payments… I assumed that the families in this film were like the British equivalent but it seems like they have to come-up with the rent themselves, without any financial aid!?!
** Do unemployed people need to rely on charity? Why can’t these families get welfare/benefits from a government department? Things are so different in Britain. I complain about UK poverty in “one of the richest countries in the world” but it seems so very much worse in the USA!! 😢
I’m shocked (if it’s true that they aren’t given welfare cheques to pay for rent & living expenses) What happens if they can’t find any work? Are they just thrown out to live on the streets???
It seems crazy to me!! * The government took 3 of their children away because they were so poor. THEN the government pays for those children to be cared for by others??!? WHY not give the family the money? Or at least, more money to buy food, clothes etc??
@@suzimonkey345 ik from experience, welfare isnt just given to anyone (i think people pay for it with taxs idk). I remember when my parents hade to get benefits for awhile when the pandemic started and alot of the time they came in late. Either we didnt get them or they sent them all at once like 2 months later. Finding a jobs also hard because you dont just walk into a place and they give it to you- so you have to wait at least a week or somthing
Idk about charity though. Aside from shelters theres not much people can do :/
Zeeshan Dogar you feel depressed but how about all the victims of US war???? They sleep under bombardment, live in hunger and etc for decades.
People don't realize how exausting it is to be homeless. And how difficult it it is to get out of the trap of homelessness.🙏
Absolutely, often when a person becomes homeless, the aren’t employed and their credit rating suffers. Then it becomes quite difficult to secure housing as landlords often require potential tenants to have good credit, a huge deposit, first and last months rents and a good job history. It’s a horrible, difficult cycle that’s virtually impossible to break. Sad situation
Some organizations estimate up to 60% of homeless Americans actually have day jobs, but still cant get back on their feet. That makes me speechless.
Just pull yourself up by your booth strap
No one is homeless, everyone has a home, they're houseless, not homeless
It is very exhausting, mentally and physically
that poor kid is such a sweet boy, grown up before his time. understands the pressures of life already
That kid has better morale than many adults, many more older kids than himself, I can tell you.

This kid is more mature than many men I met. I hope he will find his way in life. He is amazing.
During hardships you see lot of things and do lot of things, which makes maturity a necessity.

@@bamilekewoman373 Poor people tend to be overweight because they eat a lot of junk food. Junk food is cheap. Healthy food is expensive unless you cook it yourself which is not an option for poor people most of the time since poor people either don't have time to cook because they are working multiple jobs, or they don't have access to a kitchen. and rich families have kids out of wedlock to. Rich people actually make all the same mistakes poor people make. Rich people are just able to recover more easily from those mistakes because they have money.
As someone who used to work for Disney I can attest to how awful it was trying to make ends meet. When I worked on the Disney College Program in 2000 I was payed $5.85/hour because it was considered an "internship". I also had to live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 5 other people and each of us was charged $265 a month for rent. I lived on cheap ramen for 5-6 months while working there. I then worked full time in entertainment at the Magic Kingdom for 3 years and left making only $8.50/hour, and that was with a 50 cent show bonus. That place is glorified slave labor.
That's. the reality of big corporations, they need this expensive high education especially in the US. Many of ppl struggling to pay off an education loan for years and then don't forget about the taxes except the loan...Its only officially on papers slavery was abolished, in reality the have the same slavery but modernised and maybe less hunger...
Slavery was not abolished but extended to all races.
i know people who worked in that same internship program and said the same thing!
Damn…. I thought I am poorly paid but you guys really struggle.
I did the same thing for Six Flags over Texas in an internship. Four people to an apartment and $400 each. When one got a better job, our rent went up. I had to work 60 hours or more to save money. And I worked myself out so much I got delirious and lost track of what day it was. We only got $5.50 per hour. Those amusement parks can trick people. We were each supposed to run the entire park for 1 day. It never happened. I ended up having to do a project with the Fool-the-Guesser game. And gave a presentation on it. Ran that the entire summer and worked for other people in the booths with basketball hoops/goals.
I can't complaint about my life after watching this documentary. My heart aches for all these families.
Why? These particular families are lazy irresponsible trash. They keep saying anybody can be in this situation, mentioned dental hygienists, etc but where are all these educated people in this episode? Hard working immigrants that come without speaking English do better than this 5 years later. This is irresponsibility, corporations have nothing to do with it
What scares me is I know I'm headed that way. I still cannot afford a home and will be living paycheck to paycheck until I drop dead.

Yeah in this modern economy having kids is just a monumental task even when you think you are financially secure, the problem is globalization has brought so much uncertainty in local economies..nobody is certain of their future.
This is so true , & if I ever needed to go back home it would be just me that I have to burden my family with letting come back 😕
I just said something similar to my mom and she laughed 😂. Idk 🤷♀️ how my mom does it. She had three of us and still took care of us. In, her honour I am going go university and get at two degrees before she passes away.
bare minimum should be around $300+ a month per child, without any toys and stuff. Adding tuitions, college, and anything their friends have as they grow older and your own time, physical, and mental health.
And being a bit OCD I need to study all child raising theories, what age to teach something and child nutrition before they even born. So I rather travel the world a few times over first....
Same for me. I don't want to see children go hungry. If I am to become poor, I don't want to drag others down with me.
I am in shock at how much Disney charges their guests and the man doesn't even make 300 a week fu Disney I'll never go there.
I know it’s unbelievable. They charge extortionate rates for Customers yet pay their employees poverty wages.
Yeah, f Disney, but for different reasons. You wait in line all day and their woke ESPN BS. I can wait in line at home for free.
Those are Florida wages. California pays at least double that.
@Jay Leno …these companies don’t pay a living wage so the government supplements worker incomes indirectly through social programs. So at the end tax payers foot the bill when corporations fail to pay living wages despite earning healthy profits…1000’s of Walmart employees nationwide are in similar circumstances. It’s corporate welfare for their lack of paying their workers a fair wage…so we all pay while big business take advantage of cheap labor
@@TruthTroubadour-xi9cc …but in Cali the cost of living much higher too.
I know some people really want children but in this day and age I would think people would start thinking about how their children's lives are going to be instead of just popping them out one after the other.

Ending up close to homeless with 5+ kids. This is what can happen when you're starting an early empire for a family
This can happen to anyone when you already have children.
Larry having to live in a hotel symbolizes every wrong with our country. I’m in awe that he keeps going back to work every day to support his family and teaches his kids to do the same. If any of his children are watching this, you have an amazing dad!!
The fact that he works at Disney and can't afford his on home makes me sick a company that makes billions every year should be paying more
The fact that he has 5 kids and working as a greeter in any company at 52 years old… things must’ve gone terribly wrong along with some not so great decisions including financial ones. Living in a motel room is the worst in terms of finance and also living space is terrible.
Financial education is key, but also education. Lots of individuals need to be grabbed by the hand to make sound decisions.
@@gabrielgonzalez6456 and to only have the amount of children they can afford
@spirals 73 that's not it....You're missing the big picture....having kids is not a right like we think it is...It's a privelege....well thought out with the money to back it up....Hell, you gotta have a license to fish.....why not a licens to have kids??
@ghost mall why?
What the general public doesn't realize unless they've been there, that once people are caught in the "poverty loop", life becomes more expensive than somebody that has their life together. Food is more expensive because you're buying it meal by meal with no way to cook, they're burning gas looking for a place to sleep, most likely any bills include late fees, your credit is likely bad which can exclude you from jobs and definitely exclude you from a place to live as well. The things you're not excluded from you will be charged more due to your credit. The uphill battle gets steeper and steeper once you're at this point.
And people still tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps
You can come out of it but most likely it takes much longer than most people can deal with it I know from experience the only way out is to find a place to live that you can afford and save the smallest amount of money I lived in the smallest apartment I could find in a rundown area it cost me $100 a week but that included utilities and I had my own shower and bathroom and it had a refrigerator and a stove top so I could cook stuff and keep stuff cold and I worked a seasonal job where I made about for 500 bucks a week for like seven months a year but in the winter time I didn’t make anything except whatever type of work I could come across and it was during the great recession that I was doing this mostly it was just temporary labor jobs or a car wash I worked at McDonald’s for a little while but it took me about six years to finally get my shit together enough to move into a house and to most people they wouldn’t make it six months but like I said the secret is you have to live in someway to save money if you can save $25 a week and $50 a week after your living expenses then you can multiply that number by how many weeks it will take you to advance yourself and if it’s $25 a week you’re able to save well then maybe it will take you Two years of living like that to get them move somewhere else but it’s very hard it’s very hard and there’s a lot of ways to give up
I am homeless and know of 3 other women who are living in their cars. They pay hundreds to store their belongings in storage units. The worst part is being sleep deprived. Staying clean and organized takes up an exorbitant amount of time. I have SS and drive for food delivery service which results in the car requiring repair and maintenance. Car insurance in Florida is based on credit score and I am paying 382.00 a month for AAA insurance. I had a few minor parking lot accidents as well.
Exactly! I was just thinking about how much more expensive it is to be poor when my bank was going over the 15$ fee that would be applied to my account every month if I don't maintain my minimum balance. Its standard but just one more thing... and I'm sure we could brainstorm even more examples but it certainly seems intentional to me.
Laundry is a tremendous expense.
The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse is near.
Collapse is generous

@@instinctively_awesome8283
Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

Scams^^^^
Im 42.. I raised 4 children on my own, had multiple jobs at one point with no electricity in my apartment sometimes or very little food but always had a roof over out heads. Never was on assistance, but I never took my kids to disney or places like it. I never understood how people could afford it. I educated myself as much as I could. Saved every penny, I could sometimes that meant no Christmas. But eventually I was able to buy my first home. We would go on hikes, outdoor camping or to a lake for family time. My kids are now 26-16 and thankfully are good well-adjusted people. It is difficult but not impossible.
Same here. We put in a 4 foot by 15 above ground pool 20 years ago. Never had a vacation but we've always had fun here. My kids are grown now and own their own homes, have worked since 15 and listened about managing money well. If this nightmare in DC continues, everyone will be homeless 😮
I moved out of the US because I just couldn’t afford it. And I didn’t want to live in a country who prioritizes corporations and spends majority of their money on the military. So thankfully I had amazing parents so I stayed with them while I saved up a lot of money and got a job in another country. I never looked back (my parents left a few months after me). It’s sad how this country is collapsing right before our eyes.

@@faithachildoftheonetruegodI don’t think she was blaming children and many people don’t lay their foundation before having children. Let’s be real here. Many people rely on government assistance to help aide them in taking care of their children. I have family members who have relied on and been on assistance for generations. You don’t continue to have children when your situation is already dire.
This was a really eye opening documentary. It is hard to fathom that this is the reality of being American. I felt bad that it has come down to this. The fact that Disney was paying that man pennies compared to the revenue that is generated literally disgusted me. Have respect for your employees and pay them what they are worth and an amount commensurate with the cost of living. Thank you for sharing this very honest glimpse into what American has become.

sorry, but If you can't afford to house and feed kids, you shouldn't have kids...period. These people are living in one of the most expensive places in the US, and this is why they are in that situation. They need to move, and get a job where they can afford to live. Not live in a tourist trap.
@@shannonburke275 Yes I agree for the most part, but I’m a lot of cases financial circumstances change AFTER the kids are already here. As the doc showed, the man used to have a stable job and home. Believe me, I am a huge advocate of birth control and reproductive responsibility.
When a kid knows limited words yet manages to say "Not happy anymore". It is heartbreaking. Hope they find stability soon.
So many young ones these days use all this elaborate language with the longest possible words to describe what they're saying. I often think a few simple words can say so much more
Harsh Patel, it's really bad news what ended up happening with the mother living in the red Dodge Durango with her two little girls. There wasn't enough evidence to have Daniel go to trial for killing the guy with the hatchet it was a neighbor Bourbon County Kentucky, did have to do about 135 days in jail from resisting arrest and running from the police. I looked it up, these two little girls ended up in the care of Daniel's mother. I don't know what happened to Daniel he did get off but he had killed another man before that when he was 15 he was 25 in this documentary. This documentary was filmed around 2008 and made it to being released around 2012 in recent, about 2021, Amber had given birth two more times and legally arrested because these two babies these two extra more babies, were found to have been born with meth in their system. Pray for all of them. The two little girls would be about 12 years older now.
@@selfesteem3447 That is awful that those poor kids were given to Daniels abusive 'mother'. It was her fault that he was charged as a 15 year old after she set her brother on her own child. By all accounts, she frequently physically abused him & he rebelled & started getting into trouble in school. She told her brother to come over & discipline him, he turned up with rope & multiple weapons, beat him senseless & told him he was going to hogtie him & hang him up in the barn & "set him straight". Their property was very rural & this monster uncle was drunk & had opioids in his system , I can't begin to imagine the what that poor 15 year old child went through :'( Then, when for the 2nd time in his life a drunk armed man burst into his home, having to endure prison too is heartbreaking

For those who didn't know: Daniel was found in self-defense and only served charges relating to his arrest--evading it, resisting it etc. etc. which amounted to 135 days. Apparently he had also killed his uncle when he was 15 (about a decade ago at the time of the documentary airing in 2012) but was acquitted on those charges as well on another self-defense plea. I don't know any more updates than that.
Thanks for the info. I was wondering what they decided on his case. I'm glad they went with self defense.

“Being the big brother makes me feel I’m the man of the house.” He’s probably not even a teenager, yet he shows so much maturity.
He was only nine and everything he said was heartbreaking. When asked about his dreams he said all he had nightmares. His mother minimizing his desire to return to school was horrible. School would allow him to be a child for a short time at least 😞
He didn't have a choice. Children are forced to mature early and treated like adults with household responsibilities in rough situations like these, regardless of how they feel about it.
The big brother is a CHILD it is not his role. I hope the DCFS people take what he says as the direction that he and his siblings go in. He's put in that role by the abhorrent people that are his parents.
If I was a social worker I'd be happy to just create a plan with the older brother what will happen for him and his kids. The brother who's probably not even in high school yet is more of a man than his dad. Biologically his dad's an adult, in every other way absolutely not. I'd make an ironclad case for child neglect and law enforcement would go handle his despicable excuse for parents.
He's about 22 now, I wonder how he is doing.

If you are full time, you will get annual leave, sick leave and possibly a semi decent hourly rate thanks to uncomfortable conditions or danger.
A part time unskilled worker in a supermarket will not get sick leave or annual leave and will probably get min wage, and as their pay rate goes up, the hours they are given to work goes down. That has been shown to happen in germany since the introduction of min wage as well.
Also, what is a 'living wage'? Living for whos expenses? In what area? Living costs are different from suburb to suburb let alone city to city. Should a job a high school kid can do pay for a 2 cars, tvs and a mortgage? Who gets to define what exactly a living wage is?
The fact is, if you want to earn more, you either upskill or do a job that others dont want or cannot do. If there is 1000s of people just as capable of doing your job, youre not worth much.
'Living wage' is such a stupid term that is vague and meaningless. You live within your means, and work to earn the means to support the way you want to live.

It depends on where in the US it is. Also, sometimes it's poor financial decisions or just a serious illness that causes this.

Getting evicted as a homeowner takes a long time. Why do these people keep having kids when they already know they are in financial problems? poor kids don't deserve to live like this.
Cause that's all they know is how to fn breed.
i’m so glad somebody else made this point. these people are extremely irresponsible for having all of these children and subjecting them to such torture. the counter argument “they were stable before” doesn’t apply either. clearly their work ethics were shit and they managed to fuck up home ownership. they are irresponsible and terrible parents

This little boy, that is a "big brother ", and the "men of the house " ,when dad is not at home...just breaks my heart, how intelligent and mature he is. Hope they are doing better now💟
What a sweet little boy. I wish his childhood was more carefree.
That's the norm and reality for many, particularly those from 3rd world nations and living in poverty.
Many children wake up in the morning and head to "work" rather than get ready for a day that consists of "learning in a classroom"

Having children nowadays has become a luxury.
There was a time when couples had children because they had something to offer them. Too many these days are having children so they can get a relaxing life of care on somebody else’s dime. They can’t seem to do anything, but they sure know how to pump out those babies.
@@butterflygirl3359 I take it you don't have kids
@@pollyanna5354 what does that have to do with anything?
Agreed, I can't believe why so many people have over 4 kids?! Then again I'm no american, and nothing against religion, but kids cost money. Either these families had it WAY better when they had those kids or they're literally dreaming. Are having a lot of kids nowadays a means to ensure your own retirement? seems like that was the idea.. put everything on your kids' shoulders.
Or a stressful burden.
My grandpa taught me a good lesson: he said - do not even think about children until you ALREADY have the means to provide for them all the way through college and some time after.
I agree in principle, but NO ONE would ever have kids then lol
But yes having six kids imo is irresponsible nowadays. Unless you're rich. Kids should be able to have a good life, not be fighting for scraps.
We had one child 2 full time incomes. You cannot make chidren just because you are able. Its not fair or kind to them. Having savings to support the children you make in case of an emergency should be paramount not just making babies.
Vasectomy or tubal ligation is a good idea if they do not have homes or income. These procedures should be free for poor people and these procedures can be reversed.
@@alicevtanjoco6244 Totally agree!
They're not 100% reversible. Vasectomies are more so because you can just take the material out of testicles with a syringe, it's painful and expensive. IUDs and implants like Nexplanon are better for people who still want kids in the future. They last for a few years (around 4, iirc) and don't need constant buying to be effective like BC pills would.
Watching this after covid and wondering how many more people have been forced to live this way now more than ever.
I'm from Canada and it's just as bad, only min wage jobs available, rents crazy high even for a room, and government supports have ended now. People are suffering everywhere. I'm trying to hold onto my apartment but barely make enough to pay rent.

As a EU citizen, it’s hard to imagine this in the richest and most powerful country in the world…if the US spend less on their military budget each year and focus on their citizen and declining infrastructure, everyone could have a better life…it’s hard to imagine that a country has 800 military bases around the world would not rather spend on their own people…so sick to see these kids struggle
Very well said my follow European. Greetings from the happiest country in the world
The US army is incapable of winning real wars. Therefore the military budget is a scam. It exists because it is the simplest solution for so many people both Uber rich and not so rich to have guaranteed sources of revenue of all kinds. In Afghanistan they have just proved they are good for nothing. The military budget is bloated for the same reason the speculative housing market is bloated : everyone wants to make a living through finance and no one wants to produce real things any more. But however bloated the military is it is incapable and also without intention of winning real wars. They were able to demolish Iraq but nothing there has been really conquered and rebuilt for real Americans : the Americans are now in a worse position there than they were when Saddam was still there. If these military bases worked for real like they did in Europe during the Marshall Plan they would be a factor of prosperity.
americans have enough handouts already. I got 3 degrees for free and have very affordable health insurance. I hate seeing all these lazy people leech of the system and still continue to complain. I'm a social worker so I've seen it all.
Because they are not richest country in the world ...
We Europeans are not rich either but we live 10 times better than USA citizens...
USA become "rich" after WW2 when they were alowed to print endless money from nothing and use it to buy goods from other countries with worthless pices of paper...
Now we do the same with Euro....
When big countries like China Russia etc drop dollar and stop using it, USA will learn what inflation Venezuelan style is ....
When Gadaffi announced that he will not accept dollar any more he was assassinated the same js with Saddam....
Question is for how long will this charade last
Population is growing so fast that nobody can keep up with it food will be next currency...
You are preaching to the Choir. Wars make the rich, richer. There's no empathy for homelessness here. If you have a minimum wage job and no benefits you are just spinning your wheels. Only the 2% that pay no taxes has it made in the U.S. I've never seen so many unhappy people who have so much...just overflowing with wealth & no heart for those without.
Just finished watching this documentary. As someone that does not live in America. When I was younger I saw America as this amazing place with all its tall buildings, the glitz and glamour. It was a place I wanted to visit and possibly move to. After watching this im not so sure about that.

Yes! I really wish we had an update on where he and others in this video are today.
@@emusaurus I saw your negative comments everywhere. You lack of soul tells everything. Either you are hurt since childhood or bad parenting.
That mom with her 2 girls...MAN I feel her!! I was homeless for 10 months, with my 3 boys. It feels so hopeless sometimes!! I REALLY hope they're good now.
Are u OK now
I hope you dont have anymore kids...
Lady, I feel for you. I hope you are OK now. Where is your family or relative to offer you some support?
If you don’t have a lucrative degree or skills but have children as a single female, you chose that life. Remember that.
@@denobarroga degrees are no guarantee of gainful employment. Collage is a business and student loan default is proof of that. It was priviledged white men who decided that only those with money should be able to birth children so that's sick and twisted logic. Always easiest to blame the individual then to critically look at this corrupt capitalist system and how.it creates and guarantees different classes of people.
Could never afford to marry or have kids, so have remained single. Finance is the #1 reason couples divorce. It’s not right to impoverish a spouse, much less children, and risk leaving them minus a full time parent, and all the problems that go with it--poor nutrition, poor physical and mental health, poor school attendance and more than five times as likely to not complete high school, victims of bullying, teen pregnancy, involvement in gangs, drugs, and the penal system, difficulty with relationships, suicide, and shortened life expectancy.
Seems like most who are poor with kids never thought that they should have financial security first. I have 2 on my own but was always working toward greener pastures. Years later, I make 6 figures and can live on next to nothing and spend a lot on my kids if I need to. Too many people just don't know how to manage money, they were never taught. Seeing these kids living like this breaks my heart. I have no doubt their parents love them.
@@danieldoucet9121 when the guy in the video mentioned he knows both sides because in the past he had cars, boat, water skiing, going on holidays etc He was clearly not saving for potential hard times and blew his money on fun stuff and now has to live in a motel with his 5 kids
@@henknagel well said!
@@henknagel That's an unfair statement. You have no idea how long they lived off their savings before they ran out. People commonly live according to their income and when that changes drastically they can only maintain it for so long. If anything, most people tend to spend too much of their savings maintaining the life they had instead of liquidating what they can and moving to cheaper accommodations. It's hard to give up the house you worked and saved so hard for when your income changes.
@@henknagel also Texas abortion law will help with this
This is so sad. I'm so sad that we live in a society where billionaires have more money than they will ever be able to spend while billions of people around the world struggle with housing, food, and healthcare

To call her a slumlord in anyway seems harsh. She’s in almost just a tough a spot as most the tenants. Just her low paying job is also home. No retirement at 53 is crazy. I hope she gets some sort of break.
Me to she was so nice.
Agreed. That woman was in no way a slumlord. She even let one of the residents live in her home when the woman became homeless.
Thanks for calling it what it is and seeing truth.
It happens: no retirement! Not crazy at all!

Stress. The stress alone will kill you.

I know their situation is not a good one probably for all sorts of reasons, but I did admire Ambers calm and pleasant manner, and how she really tried to protect her kids from the stress of their adult problems, and let them be "kids". I really hope things worked out for them.
I remember being shocked at the number of homeless in LA, while travelling on tour bus hop on-hop off. They were in the parks , at the sides of the road and under bridges. I thought that this is the same as a third world country. Meanwhile, those in gated communities in Beverly Hills were on another planet. It seems the world is now divided by those who have and those who do not.
The little boy saying he is man of the house broke my heart. It isn't his fault.
I cried.
Isn't he like the best kid? I know his mom's heart filled when she saw that.
That had me crying, very upsetting

Absolutely heartbreaking. Governments have encouraged and now change laws to protect the growing wealth gap. Humans are considered externalities. It's shameful how society has lost its way.

If you think the Government will help you, think again. The government work for the big corporations (who give them money, to run for government.) Take care out there.
It can be fixed it starts with getting rid of the corrupt government that does not serve 99 percent of the peopels intrest!!
@@derick3482 Exactly. They pass policies that benefit themselves and promise the masses something for nothing. And those masses are dumb enough to believe it. People did it to themselves with this " get something for nothing" mentality.
plutocracy
It never ceases to amaze me how love from a parent can generate almost inextinguishable strength, loyalty and dignity in a child.
@@BruceLee-kl3fp I know this response will generate opprobrium, but here goes anyway; In my experience of teaching young people I have noticed, pretty much without exception, that lavishing parental love upon a child builds lifelong strength and confidence in the recipient. This has little to do with the provision of material "stuff." Children from financially disadvantaged backgrounds who were able to rely unequivocally on parental warmth and emotional reinforcement invariably fared better in school than those deprived of this support. Children seemed to flourish, as long as they were bathed in parental love, regardless of their parents' levels of affluence. That is not, of course, to say that childhood deprivation is not a crippling scourge on our most vulnerable citizens.
@@laurence2824 what are u talking about??? Where is the parental love if kids are being taken away by the gov.? Parental love if u make 6 kids live in one room?? U can't raise normal,functioning kids that way. These kids will be a mess. This is not about kids wearing hand me downs, this is about unsafe, unstable childhood
@@BruceLee-kl3fp Families from deprived backgrounds can easily find themselves in situations where they can't cope. There's no point (or indeed practical value) in wishing things weren't the way they are. I came close to being put into care when, as a toddler, my mother had to shoplift in order to feed me and my father had to beg hand-towels from his site manager to use as makeshift diapers for me and my baby sister. It is only the love I received, which I remember from that period. We lived in a bed-sitting-room with my mother cooking on a two-ring heating element for the four of us. Birthday gifts were being allowed to pick whichever box of budget sweeties we liked best. When my baby sister died, while we were playing, my parents took care of the situation, carefully protecting me from the associated trauma. My mother was already pregnant with my brother. It was only in my teens that my parents explained my baby sister had been suffering from kidney cancer (so they'd even had to deal with that under those deplorable circumstances). I went on to become a senior university lecturer. My brother became a successful session musician and care-worker. Please believe me when I say that without my parents' penniless love, my brother and I would never have pulled through. Being put into care would have been the end of everything for us.

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
@@AgendaInMind Wow. Nice comments on the times. People are driving themselves everywhere except reality and truth. The media indeed has much to do with spreading vast amounts of misinformation. Knowledge and skill can help one untangle the mess to find truth imbedded in the various media offered. But most do not possess these skills. They believe whatever seems true and documented (falsely). Most people don't like information that does not pass through their filters. It's too uncomfortable often promoting change. I have the hardest time understanding why enough people supported Trump to put him in office. Trump has been bankrupt too many times to count. He likes 🥥 as he can play the shell game on everyone. He throws people under the bus. He lies about his "friends"(?). He is telling people not to testify against him because he's an immune president(?). He may actually be broke. He had his father bail him out of many of his failed business ventures. Trump was fired from his own shark show. This is over-the-top info to reject him. He went into the presidency as a huge worldwide embarrassment. No proper interactions. Insulting many dignitaries. It's like having beer drinking Billy Carter, the brother of President Carter, in office. Billy did manage to come up with Billy Beer while his brother was in office.
I do not want Trump.
I do not want Billy.
I do not want ignorant fools in my office.
I need a Roosevelt or Kennedy or Johnson.
I need a well dressed man or woman.
One who has decorum to show the people the best way to play.
Then I want a new president to lead us;
To guide us to a better way of life.
We want houses and cars and spouses.
We want clean air and freedom without cartoons.
Let's welcome new ways and be refreshed in the anewed world our president will help us create.
@@AgendaInMind Also, your viewpoint on how stress messes with breathing (I hold my breath). I appreciate how you wove together this concept to the healing point. I totally agree that right now we are (hopefully) on the precipice of covid-19 diminishing soon. Many healing and suffering all at once is chaotic.
This idea I understand and can see how it has worked within my life. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I believe my healing will be much better focused.
