The situation with the 12 year old didn’t sit right with me, something was clearly wrong and they weren’t listening. The way they handled it was disgusting and I feel as though they don’t take children seriously.
The cops didn’t take me seriously about the mental abuse until it became physical and even then I couldn’t press charges because I’d get kicked out because she waited until I was an adult still relying on her. Adults don’t want to listen, they think we’re just stupid kids who just hate our parents because they grounded us or whatever, no matter how bad.
I disagree. She lashed out at the cops first. I understand she wanted to be taken away, but verbally abusing the cops who were simply trying to understand what was happening makes her the bad guy rather than her parents, no matter what she says
I get your point, bht i also think some things are wrong. Yes she handled the situation wrong, but what did you expect her to do? She only twelve,and has the mind of a child, plus she clearly has trust issues with the police. And in my opinion she isnt worse than her parents. Her parents allow her to drink with old men and go ojt partying. Its completly their fault she keeps getting out the house. Like if your child sneaks out keep a closer watch on them so it doesn’t happen again,but they didn’t do that.
That poor 12yr old. The amount of lashing out and actually saying abuse... I can't believe the way the cops treated her. Then again, I told my mother her boyfriend was SA ing me at 6yrs old. She told me I have an active imagination and not to tell lies. When adults won't believe you, you lash out.
My heart. You’re so inspiring by surviving and I hope you thrive or continue to thrive. I hope the best for you I’m so sorry that happened to you. But I definitely didn’t agree with kenji’s take (even as a joke). Yeah she’s 12 SHE IS A KID LOL. Kids do act like that and if she was SA’d like she claimed then geez this IS so messed up (it was already pretty messed up from the beginning but even more messed up as it progressed).
As someone who's mom constantly has a boyfriend around, i kinda agree with the first girl's anger, i swear my mom does a flip in personality when he's around, she puts her anger on me all the time when he's here. I get mad too but not a that point 😅
@@R0s3P3t4ls you should blame her. shes a terrible person for being so weak she cant even be appropriate with her kid. it always feels normal when ur in that situation, but it reaaalllly isnt. hope u get help
I get that but lashing out at cops the way the kid did is not how you go about it. All she had to do was follow the cops' orders, they're not who she should be directing her anger at
That first mom was wild you cannot blame the juvenile system for being bad because you want law enforcement to _parent_ YOUR child for you instead of doing it yourself like an actual mother. Your child is acting out less likely due of the juvenile system like you say and more likely because you can't be the one accountable for your own daughter's behavior.
The fact that people in the chat were making fun of the first girl, when it’s CLEAR something isn’t right in her household. This is why kids who go through that stuff don’t get justice or noticed
@@zaikurin3848I’m gonna go cry bc I feel like my reply was easy to understand (maybe bc it’s me and I understand it but what I mean is the kid had a strange feeling about the stepdad or whatever but usually your guts feelings are correct)
Yeah they would. Kids in stable homes still like to act out and do stuff because they know they won’t get in much trouble for it. Kids whose parents gentle parent them get in lots of trouble. It happens more often than you think. And they get away with it because yall always think it’s the parent’s fault or it’s a cry for help. Nah they just like to think they grown and don’t want to listen to their parents and throw tantrums when they don’t get their way.
@@---iz6qt Gentle parenting and passive parenting are different, I think you meant passive lol. Obviously we don't know their family situation from this very video, but from the way the mother was speaking and the way the daughter was talking about the mother, there's most likely something going. Her parents may not be outright (physically) abusive, but there's other types of abuse. Emotional, Verbal etc. As someone who grew up in a stable home with barely strict parents (as I was the youngest, and my parents were tired all the time), I never thought of acting out like this. I've had my ups and downs but not to this extent. I know people who grew up with gentle parents. They didn't end up like that. Not every situation is the same, but hers seems like a cry for help more than a child acting out. It's a shame she was tipsy and couldn't communicate properly.
@@yy_yqI'm honestly with both of you here, mostly in your side tbh but doesn't matter, I just think both of you have valid points as each case can be so different from each other just by the kid's personality itself, without even counting the parents themselves yet, but here is a little reminder of something that you didn't include in your own known experiences because they probably didn't happen or the people you know of didn't fall to: *There were teenagers, and APPARENTLY adults, too, involved in the 12 yo reunion/party or whatever, and even alcohol to top it off, just such a bad and sad combo... The parents might seem potentially abusive from your point of view, and something definitely feels weird about it all for me too, but they could also just be strict or not so good at being strict/parenting on itself, and the girl could have made it a bigger problem than it actually was because of her mother's boyfriend being around and the people that she talks to being a big influence, or... Tbh there are so many possible scenarios that it would be absurd to keep talking about them, just wanted to add the part about the third party that, apparently, was casually giving alcohol to kids and how that could have affected the experiences that you know of too... For how little I know, my best guess would be a combination of all the bad things with variable grades, like a mother with a bad tongue whenever she has her boyfriend with her and a boyfriend that doesn't help OR is the one to start the sparks to begin with, REALLY bad or concerning "friends" (they're around 16 yo while she is 12... They might want to help, but that's a weird way to do so) and most likely weird adults around :(
@@---iz6qt I’m aware that yes, some kids will take advantage of a situation like that if they don’t get their way. But if you pay attention to what the girl says, how the mom and step-dad speak, and how the other teenagers describe the situation, it is obvious that the way she is acting is a cry for help. There is clearly something happening beneath the surface that other people aren’t seeing, including the police. Not to say I’m disagreeing with you on your point, (besides the gentle parenting) because it’s very much true, I just think it doesn’t apply to this situation in particular.
@@yy_yq no. I meant gentle. You guys must forget around the age 12 you have your own personality and you’re usually easily influenced by social media, Tv, or your friends. You think if she were to have a sit down and talk with that 12 year old about how she feels to try to solve the problem that 12 year would’ve listened? Look at who she hangs with. Her friends obviously thinks it’s cool to hang with grown ass adults and drink, so she’s gonna think it too. The whole mom being aggressive and banging on the door. Who wouldn’t do that if they found out their child is around grown adults, GROWN MEN probably drinking and doing lord knows what? Like I said before. Kids can be in the wrong too. But it’s like yall don’t wanna realize that.
I am completely on that 12yr old's side. I've been in a similar situation and you just feel so gaslit by the world when you're trying to explain to adults that your living situation is abusive and they just DON'T LISTEN.
That situation didn’t sit right with me either, the way the restrained her and didn’t listen when she tried to explain multiple times that she was being abused was sickening. I’m so sorry you had to be in a similar situation because seeing that genuinely made my heart break.
Being like if you want to act like an adult your going to be treated like an adult... Sir you're an adult and she isn't. It doesn't matter if she is acting anything. The fact is she's not an adult. Like they have found that the scared straight things doesn't actually work more often than not and actually tend to make things worse. Case in point look how the mom reacted... She clearly isn't a parent just because she put the genetics in. That was definitely not handled well
@@LeadrynMcKrotch Thats not at all what they are saying, she knows shes gonna get sent to the hospital, she know nobody is listening to her, thats also why shes making no sense when kenji asked "is she drunk?" Shes trying to get her frustration out. When she said "youve never been through this" i know thats not what she means because ive been in her shoes and ive probably said that to someone trying to help me, shes in a moment of crisis and yes she probably does need that hospital visit, but there is obviously something more going on
I agree that they should've done it different. It should've been obvious. Its so sad when even the police, the ones who are supposed to protect you from people in the worst case scenario, doesn't trust you. I can't even imagine how that must feel. I hope that changes to be more........skeptical towards the parents just as.much as the kids. On a different note how'd I find an ARMY and a STAY in the same chat on a random video? The odds were loco with that.
Kenji is genuinely js built different 😭 Edit1: Uh- Ik everyone is talking about the people in the video but Kenji genuinely reacts to things differently. Sometimes hes trying to lighten the mood and makes jokes other times hes genuinely serious about the situation at hand which Im happy about :) Kenji can be a sweetheart ❤️
definitely, that girl was crying for help. especially when she kept saying that her parents would argue and she wanted to be taken from them. edit: the cops also went into the situation way too aggressively
Ikr. On one hand, I get it. But in the back of my head, I was like "Okay yea there's something going on at home for sure" because tf you mean she's TWELVE and she's sneaking out to drink with GROWN men?? No twelve year old is lashing out this crazy for NO reason. Aside from all of that, the way she spoke about her mom and stepdad especially was concerning, she'd rather go anywhere else than home... it's really sad.
I struggle trying to make fun of these people because they’re all so young. I cant imagine how their life is at home to cause this much emotional distress in their life
@@KoriHarisanahonestly tho !! I wasnt paying alot of attention, but I think he mentioned something along the lines of 'if i was a little brown boy in this situation, i wouldnt be able to talk back' or something. Im guessing that means kenji believes white children can't go through physical abuse, and that they also can't be ignored by police.. by that, I'm also assuming that means he believes all POC parents are abusive.
OH OK-CLEARLY YALL DON’T FEEL BAD FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE BULLIES HUH?I swear to god this comment section is so depressing.Why are y,all defending kids that are drinking alcohol???ONG the only response y’all have is “it’s the parents fault and they are just kids”.
the 12yr old i feel so sorry for her. She literally said she was being abused. It made me feel sick to my stomach when they decided to "wrap her up". She wasn't even being that aggressive or violent. I'm completely on her side. The cops handled that shitty. Her mother clearly doesn't want to be a mom, and quite frankly she should be looked into ALONG with the boyfriend or whatever.
Exactly what you said. The way they acted was disgusting and 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠. They said a child should be harmed and jailed because their acting out from obvious abuse
I feel bad for the first girl tbh, i feel like there's a reason she doesn't like her step-dad. She kept asking to be taken away from her mother, saying she didn't wanna be with her anymore, there might be something going on at home.
The mom in that first situation clearly doesn't even want to be a mother. She just wants to be alone with her boyfriend. Of course the girl feels neglected. The mom is probably mad the girl hasn't been sent to jail yet so she can be with her bf, and that's why she's complaining to the officer.
8:12 i was actually disappointed in Kenji's response here. abused kids can recognize a similar situation, we are all spectators to this girl's situation but to disregard that she may have legit grievances b/c she is being disruptive is... shallow. and shows a lack of empathy. sometimes Kenji is right for calling out a chatter but this was not that. on the other hand i can understand Kenji being upset that he knows if he was in that situation he would likely be treated rougher/unfairly but... that doesn't make it better. the kid is still in distress.
Agreed I tried to like laugh it off because kenji said before that hes a dickhead, ppl dont see the full situation sometimes but still bro. ive been in a simmilar situation and hearing that response come out of someone i look up to as a content creator, it did hurt a lil bit
the first one was sus asf they def should act diff, step dads being creeps is more common than ppl know. and also she was 12 basically a kid and young at that and they treated her like at least 16yo 🤨🤨
i’m not trying to be mean, im being genuine when i say that i think alex needs actual mental health. clearly he has anger problems and probably some other mental issues that he really needs help with.
Yk the moms bad when she's talking about her own kid like they're societies issue.. Like thats your child, Don't act like you can't do anything about their behavior!
What do you want her and any other parent out there to do? Gentle parenting sure as hell does not work, especially not on no 12 year old. If she yells you all would say it’s verbal abuse, if she hits her it’s physical abuse, if she takes her phone away she’s a horrible mother. YALL on the internet are the reasons why parents are so scared to do anything to their kids so they leave it to the authorities. Anything they do to prevent their child from acting out and doing horrible shit y’all come on the internet calling them abusers and complain. And a lot of the time KIDS LIE😱. What a shocker! Kids lie when they don’t get their way.
@@---iz6qt Verbal abuse isn’t just yelling, it can be language used to hurt, intimidate, or control someone. It’s common sense that if you hit your child that it’s physical abuse. If you’re angry at your child that doesn’t give you any right to harm them. As a parent you’re supposed to guide them away from that. If you’re angry at an adult and you resort to physical violence, that is obviously physical abuse. It isn’t any different for children. Both are physical abuse. Taking away a child’s phone is reasonable, I don’t think anyone’s ever said that taking away a child’s phone makes you a horrible parent unless you have malicious intent. Instead people encourage parents to take electronic devices away from children to allow them to grow and be more in contact with the world around them. Before talking on topics like these educate yourself because it’s infuriating to see someone come up into comments talking about verbal and physical abuse without knowing little to nothing about it.
Definitely seems like there’s a bigger problem going on especially since she said she ran away cause of the stepdad… when ur child has a problem with partner you brought in there’s gotta be a reason
the situation with the 12 yr old. it's bad, like its not js her. In the beginning she was telling the police officer how steven (step-dad) has SA'd her and the police js brushed it over. she's a literal cry for help.
@@cary-pin the way ur wrong abt that like pls 😭 1. kenji acknowledged that the stepdad needs to be investigated more than once, and he even blamed the mom saying "there aren't bad kids there's just bad parents". he was just (reasonably) frustrated bc the 12 y/o was very uncooperative and disrespectful, while the cops are at fault too the 12 y/o was just making it worse for themself by lashing out and yelling. i got frustrated too. 2. while yes, kenji did make jokes about the situation where he pretended to punch the 12 y/o AND the cop, he's doing it because that's how he felt. people pretend to hit things when they're frustrated by the way people handle things (the 12 y/o ACTUALLY hit the car bc they were mad/frustrated), it's a regular human reaction, even if it doesn't make it right. he does make reminders that it's a 12 y/o being arrested, but because of how uncooperative they were being he commented on the cops' patience and how he would've just forced the 12 y/o in the car because he doesn't HAVE that patience and that was what the cops were asking the 12 y/o to do because they were being charged with BATTERY AGAINST A COP. which is a crime. there's a reason kenji isn't a cop but a streamer. the 12 y/o obv has something going on at home that does not excuse them from their actions of attacking someone and being disrespectful. also the jokes are used to lighten the situation, something a LOT of people do to make their stream or conversation not so serious 😐 TLDR: kenji wasn't insensitive, he commented on how the stepdad needed to be investigated and that the mom was to blame, that the 12 y/o was just frustrating him bc they weren't cooperating. the jokes he made were not insensitive, it's just to lighten the mood. he was still serious about the clip throughout the video.
@@cary-pin i get that! im not mad abt it its just a bit frustrating to see how people will call someone insensitive when they haven't done anything of the sort 😭saying that someone deserves abuse is on the insensitive scale
the way everyone treated the first kid's situation is not funny, like anyone with basic empathy would be able to recognise that she needed help. the way the cops handled it was disgusting. she's obviously acting erratic because it's a plea for help. the things she repeats too, "you guys never understand", "cops dont do shit", this is the fifth time and you only need to listen once", "i go to jail but steven doesn't go to jail"? doesn't everyone understand that this is a child, who's trying her hardest to communicate in a space where she's not being allowed to be vulnerable. ofc she would react with hostility given her circumstances. the way the chat acted and kenji acted really disturbed me as well, simply because cultures and brown or asian households are different doesn't mean the way we are treated is right, and doesn't make a kid sensitive because they "make a fuss about it" when given the same treatment
the race thing lowk ticked me off.. like it doesn't even look like she's white. I assume maybe a Hispanic background of some sort. Maybe mixed ...idk. But it's weird to just bring it up like " well as a black person.. I would never do that to MY loving and caring mother because she would beat my ass " well yeah, she is probably being abused (at least verbally) at home and clearly has trust issues with the cops. It's ridiculous tbh. It's like me comparing myself to an abuse victim. Yeah, the abuse victim might've yelled at their mom, but that's because their mom is abusive and manipulative. My mother isn't, so I wouldn't yell at her like that. It's a no brainer...
Ngl the first girl is kinda understandable. I totally understand if her mom and stepdad are like that but she could’ve asked someone to take her or report for child abuse. GOD DAMN DEJA IS CRAZY AF😭
saying "she shouldve done this, she shouldve done that" is so fking insensitive ngl. thats a litteral child, abuse is all she knows. she only came out with that in the heat of the moment, but when she calms down, she wont be able to file a report. because shed be scared. of things, of her life changing, even if its a terrible life kids hate change. its the adults responsibility to recognize her pain. the way they treated her is disgusting, the police and kenji too.
I don't know if you've ever been abused and I don't want to assume but it's never that easy. You're thinking it's a simple solution, but it's nowhere close.
@@Lychiiee I know it’s not that easy and I understand. Now that I have read over my comment again I do in fact realize that it’s not that easy. Thank you for correcting me.
@@cookiegames8464the issue of the whole situation is that she was acting big and bad the whole time and the situation is already twisted and turned on its head. Yeah, the cops handled it poorly, they didn’t need to do half the things they did, but what empathy are they meant to have to a petulant child screaming accusations and fighting them at every step? It’s two sides to everything, the red flags of abuse but also a frequently violent child in another violent situation, acting out of frustration and disrespect. There is more to this that could never be resolved in a simple domestic call.
@@LegiamasC-OnTwitta she was very rude and loud, but if the cops were more lenient and treated her more like a potential victim, she may have calmed down. A lot of kids react with anger, but once they know they might actually be listened to they start to calm down. And they get less aggressive. It's tricky tho so I don't really know how they'd resolve it
With Dajia (dont think i spelled that well) I really think they didnt handle this well, she was having a definite panic attack moment and restraining her probably wasnt a good idea. Tbh i wonder from how she reacted to the cops and having a prior if she had a bad experience with cops or men in general before especially with how she reacted to being manhandled. They really should have put her under mental hospital watch, whoever cleared her didnt mentally check her at all. 4th kid as well, seems like a lot of untreated mental issues. Off topic kinda wished the kids faces and names and such were blurred.
Literally in the juvenile system, the identity of the minors is supposed to be hidden. So idk how these people (the videos) got the information or footage. Even then, it should be against the law to reveal the identity of children when it comes to them getting arrested.
@SamieSleepy I think it might vary on state laws but you can pretty much request the footage of any crime from police stations with a fee and post it as like, "reporting". I don't fully know the legality of it all but that's the basics of it so the poster/reporter dosnt actually have to blur anything except legal documents unfortunately.
@@spiderleamer that's stupid, they are exposing children and ruining their lives. The reason why minors identities are hidden is so they can restart their lives when they get out of juvenile detention. When they turn 18 their records are usually cleared. What's the point of keeping it hidden if people can just buy the footage and expose them.
The twelve year old one is really sad to see. I'm also not surprised to see how shitty the police handled it - that is uncommon with situations like that. I once knew someone who had a bad home life due to many things, but one I heard about a lot was their mother's boyfriend and they were also like this. Turning to drinking, partying, getting in trouble with the police. Obviously a place like that isn't good for kids, you get a shit load of trauma from those scenes, but for that child, those place can feel like an escape for a short while. I also wanna add on that it really sucks to see how Kenji has reacted to that video. I'm happy that some people in these comments are talking about it though. Abuse is serious - yes this also includes verbal abuse.
What are you thanking him for? Im not being mean or anything im just asking. He only said something about the stepdad Potentially being a creep after him and chat made fun of a little girl who was being sexually and vefbally abused. The girl said it multiple times, so it was impossible he “didn’t know“
Kids can absolutely just be assholes without reason, but I think most of the time, parents play a huge role on it. Either by being assholes themselves, ignoring signs of actual issues, or just not parenting and letting the world teach their kids
@@barbararab6390Well its not only the parents. The culture of their school and people they hang around carry influence too. Which is why we teach children to pick friends carefully
This is really sad honestly because all those kids probably just have some really bad parents and never got treated right so This Is How They react to things
The first girl was obviously desperate for help, kenji (+ chat) mocking her and the cops being intolerante made my blood boil, I felt her, hope she's doing better now.
So true. Kenji is so rude and inconsiderate at time but chat is judt extremely annoying. They are such followers who agree with everything the man says
The 12 year old girl was acting that way for a reason. No kid lashes out just because of One parent, there's always a story behind behaviors and actions
I think that was a bit harsh lashing out at chatter for just vocing an opinion based off of their own experience. Cause I would say he was just joking around but it sure as hell didnt sound like it.
fr. i lost alllll my respect for kenji after that whole first kid bit. he so goddam insensitive, and when people try to correct him or tell the truth he lashes out at them as a "joke". really shows his true colours lol tf is his problem
the 12 year old case was so messy, if there wasn't anything else happening in her household. she wouldn't have "ran away" from home, they should've looked more into WHY she did that instead of treating the little girl like that (not justifying her temper but still)
Kids in caring “gentle”holds do that too do yall not know that?? They think they will never get in trouble because of their “gentle” parents giving them so much authority-they think they can do what they want.
Thr fact they were literally putting a 12 year old in handcuffs with 3 agents while the other odult guys who practically broke in are just standing there...some prob left.
Kids rarely turn out this way with that much of a problem with emotional regulation on their own. The guy in the video acts like these people are just forces of nature that showed up out of nowhere and for no reason are doing this.
kenji 😭 idk abt the first one 😭 i kinda wanna know if these cops did anything like investigate her family or sm cause ik how it feels when an adult w authority does jack sht and u feel like every one of em is againt u
I don't like how often Kenji encourage violent cop behavior. I know he is an entertainer. But it's uncomfortable how he talks and knows about cops abusing their powers and then turns around and encourage it.
I love Kenji man, but I just don't think I can watch him after this. I'm actually disgusted, the first girl was crying for help practically, drunk or not, she was begging to get the help she needs. Someone explaining their similar situation then telling him that they think this is what's going on with her, isn't projecting, it's giving an example for what they thought was happening. The way he was just joking about the verbal abuse to, yeah no.
First girl should've been treated differently. If what she was saying is true. My sister went through something like that but with her real dad and that was why she acted like that. Also most these kids should have things checked at home. A lot of kids who get abused or neglected act like this. A lot also don't act like this but you really should check the homes of these kids and teens.
the first girl was actually most definitely not okay. first off yes , her mother should've raised her better but again she should be careful who she lets around her kid. because multiple teens have seen him being violent , she was VERY disrespectful and VERY hard to deal with , but a 12 y/o doesn't deserve to live that way and obviously she's going through something. I hope the officers went through the step dad business because a normal 12 y/o even in the gen z generation wouldn't act that way. (she may have been drunk but she wouldn't say such things if they weren't true.)
Some of this scares me because im autistic and have had autistic meltdowns before that are similar to these, ive mainly grown out of them, like one every few years now but i completely loose control of my body and mind, its horrible for the autistic and the people around em
With the 12-year-old I was in a hospital, there was multiple kids in there with similar experiences as her. One girl was being abused by her stepdad and when she finally fought back, the cops made her choose between jail or a hospital, and then the hospitals are also abusive.
And for the last one, she has a drug addiction problem and her mom has tried everything but to no avail. So now, she's wiping her hands clean of the girl.
I agree that a lot of times parents don’t raise their kids right. But that’s not always the case, I’ve been around kids who had parents that cared for them, loved them, always made sure that they were ok, cared about their mental health and was just overall loved their kids and were amazing parents and those same kids were always getting in trouble and being sent to the principal office , or smoking and drinking even though we were 14-15 at the time. Majority of the time kids can have amazing parents and still act out and do stupid shit. And the parents will discipline them in the safest way and by safe I mean like not physically hitting them or calling them names and making them feel horrible. And tbh parents can get fed up too. We don’t know everyone’s stories so let’s not be so quick to judge the parents in this video, and automatically think they’re just horrible. Some kids just like and want to grow up faster because they think they’re grown and think they’re cool. Children ages 12 and up know what they’re doing, they’re not stupid, let’s recognize that because it seems like people don’t. A lot of times no matter how good you are to your kids, some still will act out and do stupid shit. We can’t always blame the parents. So I don’t fully agree that parents are always the problem, because truly they aren’t.
I agree with ya completely ill admit when I was younger no matter how much my parents were gentle with me I was a pain in the ass and acted entitled (it didn't last long tho my grandparents who normally aren't the type to discipline children and have a lot of patience snapped at me)and honestly that was a turning point for me and yes some kids do act out sometimes due to how their raised but I've also met some people who were raised my crappy parents but they were one of the nicest I've met,but sometimes people shouldn't put all the blame on the parents (also sorry if this makes no sense I'm bad at explaining things)
I get what your saying, a good relationship with a child is a balance you can’t just let them roam free and not discipline them but at the same time you shouldn’t be abusing or being super strict with your child
My brother also lashes out and acts out like this. However my parents are amazing parents. Sometimes it’s not the parent’s fault. My brother has been seen by multiple doctors and such because my parents want to help him. Nothing is wrong with him mentally or physically. They love him and support him and make sure he is punished in a non abusive way. It’s just him and how he is that makes him such a horrible person. I think that the 12 year old is probably lashing out cause of reasons at home however it doesn’t excuse her behavior. It explains it.
All these people either have no parental figures or their parental figures are actually hurting or doing bad things. Many people will act like this to cops because their parents will hurt them bad and others act like this because their parents are not actively there and others do this cause something is actually wrong and no one is taking it seriously wrong.
I love Kenji, and I'll still watch his stuff, but the first clip genuinely aggravated me man. Coming from someone whose still in a toxic amd abusive home, that kid lashing out in the first clip was basically 1-1 with how I felt when I called the cops on my parents, age and all. My mom's boyfriend had literally threatened to kill me because I'm gay, yet when I tried to explain it to the cops, they weren't listening and weren't giving me the space needed to actually talk about the issue, especially because of the pressure of my parents being right there. Kenji talking down to the kid in regards to the situation is genuinely disgusting to me. It's such a spit in the face to my situation. Whenever kids tell you these things are happening, listen to them. They lash out because they're children in dangerous situations. They're not gonna be calm, they're KIDS. And when Kenji told that commenter who was sharing their experience to shut up? Straight up pissed me off. Don't tell someone to shut up because they're trying to empathize with someone, especially when it's a serious topic like potential CA, calling it "projecting." Like Kenji. That's still a real person who went through that. They're not projecting, they're using their experiences to relate to them. So disrespectful for no reason. I understand being extra/dickish is Kenji's schtick, so I can't be too mad, but if there was any moment for him to cut the gimmick and take it seriously, it was there.
I totally agree, i had to pause the video and scroll through the comments cause I was just so grossed out. I was a kid who was driven crazy from abuse, and there are longterm and brain-altering damages from it I have to deal with now. This shit is real, and even if you could call what the chatter did "projecting" it was from a good place and made complete sense. I struggle with tone but it really doesn't feel like Kenji was joking in that moment. It just all felt so gross to me.
Wow, my mom works in mental health and deals with kids like these daily. She was even injured on the job cuz of an outburst like you see in the video. All this to say that it is complicated, sometimes it is behavioral other times it is mental illness. Parenting is also a factor. They let their kids do what they want and then get all shocked pikachu face when they start trouble.
Twelve year old girl wasn’t her fault, its her mom and step dad. she was SA’d by her step dad and police did nothing and pushed it aside as left out crumbs they forgot to pick up. this is ridiculous how kenji reacts to this, he just does it for the entertainment.
If I had kids I’d never call the law on them unless it’s very serious. Id get them help and not ban them from home. That’s crazy. The girl clearly needs help not jail.
The first situation, everyone fucked up in some way. Cop didn’t listen, the parent and bf are assholes, and the kid was being a bitch (understandably imo, but got some points wrong) and didn’t comply with the police. Here’s the thing about kids: Kids scream, kick, and throw tantrums, but this is a 12 year-old, not 5 where a 5 year-old still has yet to understand right and wrong, and just because kids do all that doesn’t mean it’s okay to do that or “supposed” to, especially towards a cop. The mom is a douchebag and didn’t help her situation with abuse. The whole household is fucked up and the kid’s behavior was a cry for help that wasn’t taken seriously. At least that girl had a reason to lash out compared to the third person
I'm not gonna personally blame her for lashing out because abuse can have very interesting effects on the brain and how children develop. It's already very hard to manage emotions at that age, so when you add in her upbringing and a possibly untreated mental illness, it just makes sense to me. I agree that normally developed 12 year olds shouldn't act like this and it's not okay, but she wasn't given a real chance to be normal yk? Abuse can drive you crazy, especially as a child
The trans guy, i dont think the police properly explained why they were there to the kid. Kid is obviously scared, police did not witness the fights and were only told what happened. They didnt explain to the kid why. If they did then the kid would realize the consequences of their actions is grounds for an arrest. But the kid did not like he was not asked what has happened and probably felt wronged and made a huge fit.
a lot of them look like they have undiagnosed shit and lashing out because of the parents so i'm glad kenji said as much. idk i don't like seeing them get manhandled while the cops listening to the parents just because the kids don't know how to deal things in healthy ways. those cops were wrong for telling literal teens to "act like an adult."
My mom’s friend WAS NOT READY for a kid. She had one that throws things at people and at school and has so many problems… She has another kid who is scared of loud noises because of fighting. Please people. Be ready for a kid before you have one.
I had a point in time like that my dad was an abusive schizophrenic drug adict and my mom is bipolar so at the time i wanted to take a walk to calm down about everything and she told me that wasnt aloud outside the only reason cops werent called is because she punched me in the face and told me to go to my room or she'd beat me with a metal pole so i just sat in my room and cried myself to sleep
I like how the cop still respected Alex's pronouns at the end of the bodycam. Buy also i think that Alex needs some therapy and counseling because there are some unresolved issues there.
The first kid, the 12yr old, I’m not saying this is 100% her situation, but I’ve seen it mannyyyy times where the kid just wants their parent, even if they aren’t worth it. And when they can’t have that, or have any contact w the parent they lash out because of the emotional strain of that relationship. Desperate kids will do anything to be with who they think is fit. I have many family members, unfortunately, who have gone thru the same thing and it always has the same pattern of them believing they know who’s best to care for them, it’s just a phase of feeling unwanted.
The third case didn't really go into it, but that girl has some mental health issues after being in the foster care system for a while... Her case worker; that she kept trying to ask for (in the original video), is the closest thing to a mom for her. So yeah, she was ridiculous but I have a bit of sympathy...
Also most of the time kids hate their stepdads because they’re not their real dads. And they think since you’re not my real dad I don’t have to like you and don’t have to respect them. Who knows the stepdad could’ve been doing something, or she could just not like him just because her mom is dating him and it’s not her dad. So once again let’s not assume. Assuming gets you nowhere and a lot of times gets the wrong people in trouble.
"Where there's smoke, there's fire." Gotta look into the adult men in her life. Wouldn't be the first time someone projects an experience onto someone else, unfortunately painting the wrong person as the perpetrator.
I remember when I was grounded from my phone I would just watch so many of these on my school computer 😭 and this video was my favorite so I was super excited to see him reacting to it
When the 12 year old said “ow my nail!” I felt that pain from my core. But also her actions (not hitting the car or underage drinking, even though there was reason for it) may have been justified. I never had a step dad but when my mom started dating a guy, and the first time I met him was why he just showed up at our house. I know meeting at a house sounds normal, but someone’s house is their personal space. Especially to a child. So if someone just came in and was like “guess what I’m part of the family now” I feel like almost anyone would be a bit pissed. That’s what I’m getting happened by the way she described it.
I do have a stepdad and I can confirm that’s what it is like (I’m 12 like the girl so I understand her) my mom made sure I was comfortable with him at first like bringing him to family dinners but after 2 maybe 3 years he’s starting to get comfortable and me and my older brother hate him now at first he was okay we didn’t mind he until he started feeling too at home like he would comment on my body saying things like “when you get older you’ll have breast like (insert random lady on street with big breast) her” and it’s really uncomfortable and by the time I was building up confidence to tell my mom I was uncomfortable he started doing it in front of her and that completely broke the confidence I built On top of the fact that one day I was getting a physical check up and they gave me for the first time one of those papers that ask like how you are and I got to a question on suicide and my mom got all mad and literally not even a month later she got pregnant (miscarriage) so I really am trying to be dependent and distance myself from her and my stepdad now no matter how much I hang out with her
The situation with the 12 year old didn’t sit right with me, something was clearly wrong and they weren’t listening. The way they handled it was disgusting and I feel as though they don’t take children seriously.
The cops didn’t take me seriously about the mental abuse until it became physical and even then I couldn’t press charges because I’d get kicked out because she waited until I was an adult still relying on her. Adults don’t want to listen, they think we’re just stupid kids who just hate our parents because they grounded us or whatever, no matter how bad.
I disagree. She lashed out at the cops first. I understand she wanted to be taken away, but verbally abusing the cops who were simply trying to understand what was happening makes her the bad guy rather than her parents, no matter what she says
I get your point, bht i also think some things are wrong. Yes she handled the situation wrong, but what did you expect her to do? She only twelve,and has the mind of a child, plus she clearly has trust issues with the police. And in my opinion she isnt worse than her parents. Her parents allow her to drink with old men and go ojt partying. Its completly their fault she keeps getting out the house. Like if your child sneaks out keep a closer watch on them so it doesn’t happen again,but they didn’t do that.
That poor 12yr old. The amount of lashing out and actually saying abuse... I can't believe the way the cops treated her.
Then again, I told my mother her boyfriend was SA ing me at 6yrs old. She told me I have an active imagination and not to tell lies.
When adults won't believe you, you lash out.
I’m so sorry. You deserve better

But I definitely didn’t agree with kenji’s take (even as a joke). Yeah she’s 12 SHE IS A KID LOL. Kids do act like that and if she was SA’d like she claimed then geez this IS so messed up (it was already pretty messed up from the beginning but even more messed up as it progressed).
As someone who's mom constantly has a boyfriend around, i kinda agree with the first girl's anger, i swear my mom does a flip in personality when he's around, she puts her anger on me all the time when he's here. I get mad too but not a that point 😅
Felt that. I don't blame my mom, though. I blame it on the stress that comes with it. ❤

@@R0s3P3t4ls you should blame her. shes a terrible person for being so weak she cant even be appropriate with her kid. it always feels normal when ur in that situation, but it reaaalllly isnt. hope u get help
I get that but lashing out at cops the way the kid did is not how you go about it. All she had to do was follow the cops' orders, they're not who she should be directing her anger at
That first mom was wild you cannot blame the juvenile system for being bad because you want law enforcement to _parent_ YOUR child for you instead of doing it yourself like an actual mother. Your child is acting out less likely due of the juvenile system like you say and more likely because you can't be the one accountable for your own daughter's behavior.
The fact that people in the chat were making fun of the first girl, when it’s CLEAR something isn’t right in her household. This is why kids who go through that stuff don’t get justice or noticed
“That’s your kid, you raised her” at this point, she didn’t raise her

@@zaikurin3848 I hate u (it’s the same thing as urs)
First situation is very obviously a cry for help, a child in a stable and safe household wouldn’t act out like that.
Yeah they would. Kids in stable homes still like to act out and do stuff because they know they won’t get in much trouble for it. Kids whose parents gentle parent them get in lots of trouble. It happens more often than you think. And they get away with it because yall always think it’s the parent’s fault or it’s a cry for help. Nah they just like to think they grown and don’t want to listen to their parents and throw tantrums when they don’t get their way.
@@---iz6qt Gentle parenting and passive parenting are different, I think you meant passive lol. Obviously we don't know their family situation from this very video, but from the way the mother was speaking and the way the daughter was talking about the mother, there's most likely something going. Her parents may not be outright (physically) abusive, but there's other types of abuse. Emotional, Verbal etc. As someone who grew up in a stable home with barely strict parents (as I was the youngest, and my parents were tired all the time), I never thought of acting out like this. I've had my ups and downs but not to this extent. I know people who grew up with gentle parents. They didn't end up like that. Not every situation is the same, but hers seems like a cry for help more than a child acting out. It's a shame she was tipsy and couldn't communicate properly.
@@yy_yqI'm honestly with both of you here, mostly in your side tbh but doesn't matter, I just think both of you have valid points as each case can be so different from each other just by the kid's personality itself, without even counting the parents themselves yet, but here is a little reminder of something that you didn't include in your own known experiences because they probably didn't happen or the people you know of didn't fall to:
*There were teenagers, and APPARENTLY adults, too, involved in the 12 yo reunion/party or whatever, and even alcohol to top it off, just such a bad and sad combo...
The parents might seem potentially abusive from your point of view, and something definitely feels weird about it all for me too, but they could also just be strict or not so good at being strict/parenting on itself, and the girl could have made it a bigger problem than it actually was because of her mother's boyfriend being around and the people that she talks to being a big influence, or... Tbh there are so many possible scenarios that it would be absurd to keep talking about them, just wanted to add the part about the third party that, apparently, was casually giving alcohol to kids and how that could have affected the experiences that you know of too...
For how little I know, my best guess would be a combination of all the bad things with variable grades, like a mother with a bad tongue whenever she has her boyfriend with her and a boyfriend that doesn't help OR is the one to start the sparks to begin with, REALLY bad or concerning "friends" (they're around 16 yo while she is 12... They might want to help, but that's a weird way to do so) and most likely weird adults around :(
@@---iz6qt I’m aware that yes, some kids will take advantage of a situation like that if they don’t get their way. But if you pay attention to what the girl says, how the mom and step-dad speak, and how the other teenagers describe the situation, it is obvious that the way she is acting is a cry for help. There is clearly something happening beneath the surface that other people aren’t seeing, including the police. Not to say I’m disagreeing with you on your point, (besides the gentle parenting) because it’s very much true, I just think it doesn’t apply to this situation in particular.
@@yy_yq no. I meant gentle. You guys must forget around the age 12 you have your own personality and you’re usually easily influenced by social media, Tv, or your friends. You think if she were to have a sit down and talk with that 12 year old about how she feels to try to solve the problem that 12 year would’ve listened? Look at who she hangs with. Her friends obviously thinks it’s cool to hang with grown ass adults and drink, so she’s gonna think it too. The whole mom being aggressive and banging on the door. Who wouldn’t do that if they found out their child is around grown adults, GROWN MEN probably drinking and doing lord knows what? Like I said before. Kids can be in the wrong too. But it’s like yall don’t wanna realize that.
I am completely on that 12yr old's side. I've been in a similar situation and you just feel so gaslit by the world when you're trying to explain to adults that your living situation is abusive and they just DON'T LISTEN.
That situation didn’t sit right with me either, the way the restrained her and didn’t listen when she tried to explain multiple times that she was being abused was sickening. I’m so sorry you had to be in a similar situation because seeing that genuinely made my heart break.
Being like if you want to act like an adult your going to be treated like an adult... Sir you're an adult and she isn't. It doesn't matter if she is acting anything. The fact is she's not an adult. Like they have found that the scared straight things doesn't actually work more often than not and actually tend to make things worse.
Case in point look how the mom reacted... She clearly isn't a parent just because she put the genetics in. That was definitely not handled well
@@LeadrynMcKrotch Thats not at all what they are saying, she knows shes gonna get sent to the hospital, she know nobody is listening to her, thats also why shes making no sense when kenji asked "is she drunk?" Shes trying to get her frustration out. When she said "youve never been through this" i know thats not what she means because ive been in her shoes and ive probably said that to someone trying to help me, shes in a moment of crisis and yes she probably does need that hospital visit, but there is obviously something more going on
I agree that they should've done it different. It should've been obvious. Its so sad when even the police, the ones who are supposed to protect you from people in the worst case scenario, doesn't trust you. I can't even imagine how that must feel. I hope that changes to be more........skeptical towards the parents just as.much as the kids.
On a different note how'd I find an ARMY and a STAY in the same chat on a random video? The odds were loco with that.

some of the things she said were such red flags, it’s insane
definitely, that girl was crying for help. especially when she kept saying that her parents would argue and she wanted to be taken from them.
edit: the cops also went into the situation way too aggressively
Worst case scenario, the mom knows that her husband is into her daughter and wants to keep he around to keep her husband.
Ikr. On one hand, I get it. But in the back of my head, I was like "Okay yea there's something going on at home for sure" because tf you mean she's TWELVE and she's sneaking out to drink with GROWN men?? No twelve year old is lashing out this crazy for NO reason.
Aside from all of that, the way she spoke about her mom and stepdad especially was concerning, she'd rather go anywhere else than home... it's really sad.
I struggle trying to make fun of these people because they’re all so young. I cant imagine how their life is at home to cause this much emotional distress in their life

@@KoriHarisanahonestly tho !! I wasnt paying alot of attention, but I think he mentioned something along the lines of 'if i was a little brown boy in this situation, i wouldnt be able to talk back' or something.
Im guessing that means kenji believes white children can't go through physical abuse, and that they also can't be ignored by police.. by that, I'm also assuming that means he believes all POC parents are abusive.
OH OK-CLEARLY YALL DON’T FEEL BAD FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE BULLIES HUH?I swear to god this comment section is so depressing.Why are y,all defending kids that are drinking alcohol???ONG the only response y’all have is “it’s the parents fault and they are just kids”.
the 12yr old i feel so sorry for her. She literally said she was being abused. It made me feel sick to my stomach when they decided to "wrap her up". She wasn't even being that aggressive or violent. I'm completely on her side. The cops handled that shitty. Her mother clearly doesn't want to be a mom, and quite frankly she should be looked into ALONG with the boyfriend or whatever.
And also with kenji not making it better n being insensitive is just stupid and ridiculous
Exactly what you said. The way they acted was disgusting and 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠. They said a child should be harmed and jailed because their acting out from obvious abuse
I feel bad for the first girl tbh, i feel like there's a reason she doesn't like her step-dad. She kept asking to be taken away from her mother, saying she didn't wanna be with her anymore, there might be something going on at home.
there is a reason the 12 year is running away. i can't believe the police aren't trained enough to actually see she's the one who needs help
frrr hate the way kenji joked about it, fk him

@@MashedPOTATO11194It’s actually not that hard. Do you guys not know how to deescalate situations so that everyone is more coherent???
The mom in that first situation clearly doesn't even want to be a mother. She just wants to be alone with her boyfriend. Of course the girl feels neglected. The mom is probably mad the girl hasn't been sent to jail yet so she can be with her bf, and that's why she's complaining to the officer.
8:12 i was actually disappointed in Kenji's response here. abused kids can recognize a similar situation, we are all spectators to this girl's situation but to disregard that she may have legit grievances b/c she is being disruptive is... shallow. and shows a lack of empathy. sometimes Kenji is right for calling out a chatter but this was not that.
on the other hand i can understand Kenji being upset that he knows if he was in that situation he would likely be treated rougher/unfairly but... that doesn't make it better. the kid is still in distress.
frrrrrr thats what im saying, i tried to laugh it off but kenji is so insensitive it bothers me sm
Agreed I tried to like laugh it off because kenji said before that hes a dickhead, ppl dont see the full situation sometimes but still bro. ive been in a simmilar situation and hearing that response come out of someone i look up to as a content creator, it did hurt a lil bit

Yk the moms bad when she's talking about her own kid like they're societies issue.. Like thats your child, Don't act like you can't do anything about their behavior!
What do you want her and any other parent out there to do? Gentle parenting sure as hell does not work, especially not on no 12 year old. If she yells you all would say it’s verbal abuse, if she hits her it’s physical abuse, if she takes her phone away she’s a horrible mother. YALL on the internet are the reasons why parents are so scared to do anything to their kids so they leave it to the authorities. Anything they do to prevent their child from acting out and doing horrible shit y’all come on the internet calling them abusers and complain. And a lot of the time KIDS LIE😱. What a shocker! Kids lie when they don’t get their way.
@@---iz6qt the mom spotted
@@---iz6qt Verbal abuse isn’t just yelling, it can be language used to hurt, intimidate, or control someone. It’s common sense that if you hit your child that it’s physical abuse. If you’re angry at your child that doesn’t give you any right to harm them. As a parent you’re supposed to guide them away from that. If you’re angry at an adult and you resort to physical violence, that is obviously physical abuse. It isn’t any different for children. Both are physical abuse. Taking away a child’s phone is reasonable, I don’t think anyone’s ever said that taking away a child’s phone makes you a horrible parent unless you have malicious intent. Instead people encourage parents to take electronic devices away from children to allow them to grow and be more in contact with the world around them. Before talking on topics like these educate yourself because it’s infuriating to see someone come up into comments talking about verbal and physical abuse without knowing little to nothing about it.
Definitely seems like there’s a bigger problem going on especially since she said she ran away cause of the stepdad… when ur child has a problem with partner you brought in there’s gotta be a reason

Yeah, DUDE kenji is so insensitive ik he does it for entertainment for yt and his chat but seriously?? I mean, kenji show respect. Poor 12 y/o dude.
@@cary-pin exactly
@@cary-pin the way ur wrong abt that like pls 😭
1. kenji acknowledged that the stepdad needs to be investigated more than once, and he even blamed the mom saying "there aren't bad kids there's just bad parents". he was just (reasonably) frustrated bc the 12 y/o was very uncooperative and disrespectful, while the cops are at fault too the 12 y/o was just making it worse for themself by lashing out and yelling. i got frustrated too.
2. while yes, kenji did make jokes about the situation where he pretended to punch the 12 y/o AND the cop, he's doing it because that's how he felt. people pretend to hit things when they're frustrated by the way people handle things (the 12 y/o ACTUALLY hit the car bc they were mad/frustrated), it's a regular human reaction, even if it doesn't make it right. he does make reminders that it's a 12 y/o being arrested, but because of how uncooperative they were being he commented on the cops' patience and how he would've just forced the 12 y/o in the car because he doesn't HAVE that patience and that was what the cops were asking the 12 y/o to do because they were being charged with BATTERY AGAINST A COP. which is a crime. there's a reason kenji isn't a cop but a streamer. the 12 y/o obv has something going on at home that does not excuse them from their actions of attacking someone and being disrespectful. also the jokes are used to lighten the situation, something a LOT of people do to make their stream or conversation not so serious 😐
TLDR: kenji wasn't insensitive, he commented on how the stepdad needed to be investigated and that the mom was to blame, that the 12 y/o was just frustrating him bc they weren't cooperating. the jokes he made were not insensitive, it's just to lighten the mood. he was still serious about the clip throughout the video.

the way everyone treated the first kid's situation is not funny, like anyone with basic empathy would be able to recognise that she needed help. the way the cops handled it was disgusting. she's obviously acting erratic because it's a plea for help. the things she repeats too, "you guys never understand", "cops dont do shit", this is the fifth time and you only need to listen once", "i go to jail but steven doesn't go to jail"? doesn't everyone understand that this is a child, who's trying her hardest to communicate in a space where she's not being allowed to be vulnerable. ofc she would react with hostility given her circumstances. the way the chat acted and kenji acted really disturbed me as well, simply because cultures and brown or asian households are different doesn't mean the way we are treated is right, and doesn't make a kid sensitive because they "make a fuss about it" when given the same treatment
the race thing lowk ticked me off.. like it doesn't even look like she's white. I assume maybe a Hispanic background of some sort. Maybe mixed ...idk. But it's weird to just bring it up like
" well as a black person.. I would never do that to MY loving and caring mother because she would beat my ass "
well yeah, she is probably being abused (at least verbally) at home and clearly has trust issues with the cops. It's ridiculous tbh. It's like me comparing myself to an abuse victim. Yeah, the abuse victim might've yelled at their mom, but that's because their mom is abusive and manipulative. My mother isn't, so I wouldn't yell at her like that. It's a no brainer...

Ngl the first girl is kinda understandable. I totally understand if her mom and stepdad are like that but she could’ve asked someone to take her or report for child abuse.
GOD DAMN DEJA IS CRAZY AF😭
saying "she shouldve done this, she shouldve done that" is so fking insensitive ngl. thats a litteral child, abuse is all she knows. she only came out with that in the heat of the moment, but when she calms down, she wont be able to file a report. because shed be scared. of things, of her life changing, even if its a terrible life kids hate change. its the adults responsibility to recognize her pain. the way they treated her is disgusting, the police and kenji too.

@@cookiegames8464the issue of the whole situation is that she was acting big and bad the whole time and the situation is already twisted and turned on its head. Yeah, the cops handled it poorly, they didn’t need to do half the things they did, but what empathy are they meant to have to a petulant child screaming accusations and fighting them at every step? It’s two sides to everything, the red flags of abuse but also a frequently violent child in another violent situation, acting out of frustration and disrespect. There is more to this that could never be resolved in a simple domestic call.
@@LegiamasC-OnTwitta she was very rude and loud, but if the cops were more lenient and treated her more like a potential victim, she may have calmed down. A lot of kids react with anger, but once they know they might actually be listened to they start to calm down. And they get less aggressive. It's tricky tho so I don't really know how they'd resolve it
With Dajia (dont think i spelled that well) I really think they didnt handle this well, she was having a definite panic attack moment and restraining her probably wasnt a good idea. Tbh i wonder from how she reacted to the cops and having a prior if she had a bad experience with cops or men in general before especially with how she reacted to being manhandled. They really should have put her under mental hospital watch, whoever cleared her didnt mentally check her at all. 4th kid as well, seems like a lot of untreated mental issues.
Off topic kinda wished the kids faces and names and such were blurred.
Literally in the juvenile system, the identity of the minors is supposed to be hidden. So idk how these people (the videos) got the information or footage. Even then, it should be against the law to reveal the identity of children when it comes to them getting arrested.
@SamieSleepy I think it might vary on state laws but you can pretty much request the footage of any crime from police stations with a fee and post it as like, "reporting". I don't fully know the legality of it all but that's the basics of it so the poster/reporter dosnt actually have to blur anything except legal documents unfortunately.
@@spiderleamer that's stupid, they are exposing children and ruining their lives. The reason why minors identities are hidden is so they can restart their lives when they get out of juvenile detention. When they turn 18 their records are usually cleared. What's the point of keeping it hidden if people can just buy the footage and expose them.
The twelve year old one is really sad to see. I'm also not surprised to see how shitty the police handled it - that is uncommon with situations like that. I once knew someone who had a bad home life due to many things, but one I heard about a lot was their mother's boyfriend and they were also like this. Turning to drinking, partying, getting in trouble with the police. Obviously a place like that isn't good for kids, you get a shit load of trauma from those scenes, but for that child, those place can feel like an escape for a short while.
I also wanna add on that it really sucks to see how Kenji has reacted to that video. I'm happy that some people in these comments are talking about it though. Abuse is serious - yes this also includes verbal abuse.
THANK YOU KENJI. Theres probably a reason she does not like the step dad.
What are you thanking him for? Im not being mean or anything im just asking. He only said something about the stepdad Potentially being a creep after him and chat made fun of a little girl who was being sexually and vefbally abused. The girl said it multiple times, so it was impossible he “didn’t know“
“You’re AaAActing like a complete…” 💀 the voice crack got me weak af
Alex looked like Vector from Despicable Me
Dont disrespect my man Vector like that, man stole the pyramid
I dont know about the "no bad kids but bad parents" because an environment also has to do with nurturing
Kids can absolutely just be assholes without reason, but I think most of the time, parents play a huge role on it. Either by being assholes themselves, ignoring signs of actual issues, or just not parenting and letting the world teach their kids
Sometimes kids can pick up on parents behaviors but other times its just the kid bring an asshole to everyone
@@barbararab6390Well its not only the parents. The culture of their school and people they hang around carry influence too. Which is why we teach children to pick friends carefully
@@barbararab6390 kids being assholes with no cause is EXTREMELY rare, most likely cuz theyr phycopaths. but almost always its the parents fault.
I love kenji’s commentary on these vids 😂
I love the "I got you officer!" Bits 😂
Kenji would not be a good cop 😭he is not serious enough lmaooo
This is really sad honestly because all those kids probably just have some really bad parents and never got treated right so This Is How They react to things
The first girl was obviously desperate for help, kenji (+ chat) mocking her and the cops being intolerante made my blood boil, I felt her, hope she's doing better now.
So true. Kenji is so rude and inconsiderate at time but chat is judt extremely annoying. They are such followers who agree with everything the man says
17:54 in the chat says ‘the real crime is the bowl cut’ is FOUL BC ITS TRUEEEE LMAOO 😭🤣🤣
The 12 year old girl was acting that way for a reason. No kid lashes out just because of One parent, there's always a story behind behaviors and actions
I think that was a bit harsh lashing out at chatter for just vocing an opinion based off of their own experience.
Cause I would say he was just joking around but it sure as hell didnt sound like it.
fr. i lost alllll my respect for kenji after that whole first kid bit. he so goddam insensitive, and when people try to correct him or tell the truth he lashes out at them as a "joke". really shows his true colours lol tf is his problem
I like kenji but what was that 😭
me:half asleep. Kenji posts: IM AWAKE :>
So real tbh
E
Me.
the 12 year old case was so messy, if there wasn't anything else happening in her household. she wouldn't have "ran away" from home, they should've looked more into WHY she did that instead of treating the little girl like that (not justifying her temper but still)
And they said she did it daily and that wasn’t the first time
Kids in caring “gentle”holds do that too do yall not know that??
They think they will never get in trouble because of their “gentle” parents giving them so much authority-they think they can do what they want.
@@MashedPOTATO11194What?? genuinely what are you saying here
10:27 "isn't that what kids are suppose to do?!" Damn I mean- no comment
Thr fact they were literally putting a 12 year old in handcuffs with 3 agents while the other odult guys who practically broke in are just standing there...some prob left.
2:42 THANK YOU KENJI HOLY SHIT
NO BC WHEN THEY SAID SHE WAS 12 THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT
A fellow my melody 💗
Kids rarely turn out this way with that much of a problem with emotional regulation on their own. The guy in the video acts like these people are just forces of nature that showed up out of nowhere and for no reason are doing this.
kenji 😭 idk abt the first one 😭 i kinda wanna know if these cops did anything like investigate her family or sm cause ik how it feels when an adult w authority does jack sht and u feel like every one of em is againt u
You can't arrest me, you're giving me anxiety!
The way Kenji said “I need a Starburst” was very funny to me ngl with the last girl🤣
(I think I’m the only one distracted from it😅)
WAKE UP GANG KENJI POSTED !!! 🗣️
I don't like how often Kenji encourage violent cop behavior. I know he is an entertainer. But it's uncomfortable how he talks and knows about cops abusing their powers and then turns around and encourage it.
yeah he just talks out of his ass most of the time and lowk starting to get on my nerves.
Chat is genuinely disgusting at times, talking about tazing the first child because she wanted to get away from her parents
Is it too excessive for me to think Kenji was being unempathic for the 12 y/o? I feel like he should apologize for that :(
No ur right
You’re in the right
That poor first girl she was not a bad kid she was just sick of not being heard
Exactly, in her place I wouldn't have been so patient.
I love Kenji man, but I just don't think I can watch him after this. I'm actually disgusted, the first girl was crying for help practically, drunk or not, she was begging to get the help she needs. Someone explaining their similar situation then telling him that they think this is what's going on with her, isn't projecting, it's giving an example for what they thought was happening. The way he was just joking about the verbal abuse to, yeah no.
Exactly
exactly, i might unsubscribe (after 1 day of subscribing) just cause of this
First girl should've been treated differently. If what she was saying is true. My sister went through something like that but with her real dad and that was why she acted like that.
Also most these kids should have things checked at home. A lot of kids who get abused or neglected act like this. A lot also don't act like this but you really should check the homes of these kids and teens.
Kenji calling out the stepdad as sus because the 12 yo was acting out is SO real
When your real name is Deja.... 😭😭😭😭 "Stop resisting Deja"
Me: IM JUST SITTING HERE WDYM
That's gotta be awkward 😅
the first girl was actually most definitely not okay. first off yes , her mother should've raised her better but again she should be careful who she lets around her kid. because multiple teens have seen him being violent , she was VERY disrespectful and VERY hard to deal with , but a 12 y/o doesn't deserve to live that way and obviously she's going through something. I hope the officers went through the step dad business because a normal 12 y/o even in the gen z generation wouldn't act that way. (she may have been drunk but she wouldn't say such things if they weren't true.)
Some of this scares me because im autistic and have had autistic meltdowns before that are similar to these, ive mainly grown out of them, like one every few years now but i completely loose control of my body and mind, its horrible for the autistic and the people around em
With the 12-year-old I was in a hospital, there was multiple kids in there with similar experiences as her. One girl was being abused by her stepdad and when she finally fought back, the cops made her choose between jail or a hospital, and then the hospitals are also abusive.
And for the last one, she has a drug addiction problem and her mom has tried everything but to no avail.
So now, she's wiping her hands clean of the girl.
That child in the first one needs to be looked at. Adults know way better than to get drunk with a 12 year old
bro i feel bad for the 12 year old she clearly is going through something and the fact people are making fun of her is weird
I agree that a lot of times parents don’t raise their kids right. But that’s not always the case, I’ve been around kids who had parents that cared for them, loved them, always made sure that they were ok, cared about their mental health and was just overall loved their kids and were amazing parents and those same kids were always getting in trouble and being sent to the principal office , or smoking and drinking even though we were 14-15 at the time. Majority of the time kids can have amazing parents and still act out and do stupid shit. And the parents will discipline them in the safest way and by safe I mean like not physically hitting them or calling them names and making them feel horrible. And tbh parents can get fed up too. We don’t know everyone’s stories so let’s not be so quick to judge the parents in this video, and automatically think they’re just horrible. Some kids just like and want to grow up faster because they think they’re grown and think they’re cool. Children ages 12 and up know what they’re doing, they’re not stupid, let’s recognize that because it seems like people don’t. A lot of times no matter how good you are to your kids, some still will act out and do stupid shit. We can’t always blame the parents. So I don’t fully agree that parents are always the problem, because truly they aren’t.
I agree with ya completely ill admit when I was younger no matter how much my parents were gentle with me I was a pain in the ass and acted entitled (it didn't last long tho my grandparents who normally aren't the type to discipline children and have a lot of patience snapped at me)and honestly that was a turning point for me and yes some kids do act out sometimes due to how their raised but I've also met some people who were raised my crappy parents but they were one of the nicest I've met,but sometimes people shouldn't put all the blame on the parents (also sorry if this makes no sense I'm bad at explaining things)
eeech I got real worried the chat was about to get transphobic just because the dude was annoying as fuck, thank god there are mods there
Yeah, I already saw a commenter say that ppl being "more concerned over their pronouns/gender" was disgusting just bc he did smth bad. Like what??? 💀💀
@@cookiegames8464 can't I be worried about both, tf??????
@@cookiegames8464 we can be worried abt both. Both are bad. Sure, one is worse, but it doesn't justify the other. 2 wrongs don't make a right
@@cookiegames8464u can worry about two things at once use ur head
I get what your saying, a good relationship with a child is a balance you can’t just let them roam free and not discipline them but at the same time you shouldn’t be abusing or being super strict with your child
12:04 Bro was actually terrified by this little kid 😭
My bullies used to throw me down the school stairs for fun :/ i ended up leaving school at 16 cos of it
Were you okay physically?! I don’t understand how people can bully for fun😞
Your username has 'choose' spelled wrong.
@@ChezaWR
So?
@@ChezaWR I don’t think that really matters?
@@ChezaWRso you just ignored that they got pushed down stairs💀
My brother also lashes out and acts out like this. However my parents are amazing parents. Sometimes it’s not the parent’s fault. My brother has been seen by multiple doctors and such because my parents want to help him. Nothing is wrong with him mentally or physically. They love him and support him and make sure he is punished in a non abusive way. It’s just him and how he is that makes him such a horrible person. I think that the 12 year old is probably lashing out cause of reasons at home however it doesn’t excuse her behavior. It explains it.
There is truly nothing scarier than someone who vapes and ESPECIALLY if the vape itself is involved 😭😭
All these people either have no parental figures or their parental figures are actually hurting or doing bad things. Many people will act like this to cops because their parents will hurt them bad and others act like this because their parents are not actively there and others do this cause something is actually wrong and no one is taking it seriously wrong.
I love Kenji, and I'll still watch his stuff, but the first clip genuinely aggravated me man. Coming from someone whose still in a toxic amd abusive home, that kid lashing out in the first clip was basically 1-1 with how I felt when I called the cops on my parents, age and all. My mom's boyfriend had literally threatened to kill me because I'm gay, yet when I tried to explain it to the cops, they weren't listening and weren't giving me the space needed to actually talk about the issue, especially because of the pressure of my parents being right there. Kenji talking down to the kid in regards to the situation is genuinely disgusting to me. It's such a spit in the face to my situation. Whenever kids tell you these things are happening, listen to them. They lash out because they're children in dangerous situations. They're not gonna be calm, they're KIDS. And when Kenji told that commenter who was sharing their experience to shut up? Straight up pissed me off. Don't tell someone to shut up because they're trying to empathize with someone, especially when it's a serious topic like potential CA, calling it "projecting." Like Kenji. That's still a real person who went through that. They're not projecting, they're using their experiences to relate to them. So disrespectful for no reason. I understand being extra/dickish is Kenji's schtick, so I can't be too mad, but if there was any moment for him to cut the gimmick and take it seriously, it was there.
I totally agree, i had to pause the video and scroll through the comments cause I was just so grossed out. I was a kid who was driven crazy from abuse, and there are longterm and brain-altering damages from it I have to deal with now. This shit is real, and even if you could call what the chatter did "projecting" it was from a good place and made complete sense. I struggle with tone but it really doesn't feel like Kenji was joking in that moment. It just all felt so gross to me.
Yeah fr the way he was talking about that first kid just wasn’t it for me.
Wow, my mom works in mental health and deals with kids like these daily. She was even injured on the job cuz of an outburst like you see in the video. All this to say that it is complicated, sometimes it is behavioral other times it is mental illness. Parenting is also a factor. They let their kids do what they want and then get all shocked pikachu face when they start trouble.
Twelve year old girl wasn’t her fault, its her mom and step dad. she was SA’d by her step dad and police did nothing and pushed it aside as left out crumbs they forgot to pick up. this is ridiculous how kenji reacts to this, he just does it for the entertainment.
@@cary-pin when was she sa'd?? did miss smth
@@radiowaves1473 those mfs are crazy for not investigating that shit-

31:03 dayum she an eagle she really embracing the American culture🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If I had kids I’d never call the law on them unless it’s very serious. Id get them help and not ban them from home. That’s crazy. The girl clearly needs help not jail.
The first situation, everyone fucked up in some way. Cop didn’t listen, the parent and bf are assholes, and the kid was being a bitch (understandably imo, but got some points wrong) and didn’t comply with the police.
Here’s the thing about kids: Kids scream, kick, and throw tantrums, but this is a 12 year-old, not 5 where a 5 year-old still has yet to understand right and wrong, and just because kids do all that doesn’t mean it’s okay to do that or “supposed” to, especially towards a cop. The mom is a douchebag and didn’t help her situation with abuse. The whole household is fucked up and the kid’s behavior was a cry for help that wasn’t taken seriously. At least that girl had a reason to lash out compared to the third person
I'm not gonna personally blame her for lashing out because abuse can have very interesting effects on the brain and how children develop. It's already very hard to manage emotions at that age, so when you add in her upbringing and a possibly untreated mental illness, it just makes sense to me. I agree that normally developed 12 year olds shouldn't act like this and it's not okay, but she wasn't given a real chance to be normal yk? Abuse can drive you crazy, especially as a child
This video is the best birth control istg
I honestly feel bad for the first girl, like she's clearly crying for help
13:30 "im gunna kill everybody ahh-" IDK WHY BUT ITS SO FUNNY TO ME..
The trans guy, i dont think the police properly explained why they were there to the kid. Kid is obviously scared, police did not witness the fights and were only told what happened.
They didnt explain to the kid why. If they did then the kid would realize the consequences of their actions is grounds for an arrest. But the kid did not like he was not asked what has happened and probably felt wronged and made a huge fit.
a lot of them look like they have undiagnosed shit and lashing out because of the parents so i'm glad kenji said as much. idk i don't like seeing them get manhandled while the cops listening to the parents just because the kids don't know how to deal things in healthy ways. those cops were wrong for telling literal teens to "act like an adult."
Ts making me mad bro, im bouta turn into an angry bird.
That 12yr needs to get away from them parents because it is so obvious that they have been abusing that child
ur so funny kidney please don't die on sunday😭
My mom’s friend WAS NOT READY for a kid. She had one that throws things at people and at school and has so many problems… She has another kid who is scared of loud noises because of fighting. Please people. Be ready for a kid before you have one.
12 yr old hated stepdad bc mom let her do what she wanted where stepdad enforced rules like no drinking or drugs n stuff
Mum got better w choices and she lashed out and the 12 yr old does in fact punch the stepdad
I had a point in time like that my dad was an abusive schizophrenic drug adict and my mom is bipolar so at the time i wanted to take a walk to calm down about everything and she told me that wasnt aloud outside the only reason cops werent called is because she punched me in the face and told me to go to my room or she'd beat me with a metal pole so i just sat in my room and cried myself to sleep
Jeez, are you okay?
@@deewhitefay_ I think so i mean its not the worst thing that happened to me
I like how the cop still respected Alex's pronouns at the end of the bodycam. Buy also i think that Alex needs some therapy and counseling because there are some unresolved issues there.
Hello kenji, you turned my day around. I was so upset, but watching your videos just made me laugh. Thank you for your videos. Keep it up, kenji😊
Fr he always makes my day sm better!
nah this vid sucked, he acting like a a$$ towards abused kids
The first kid, the 12yr old, I’m not saying this is 100% her situation, but I’ve seen it mannyyyy times where the kid just wants their parent, even if they aren’t worth it. And when they can’t have that, or have any contact w the parent they lash out because of the emotional strain of that relationship. Desperate kids will do anything to be with who they think is fit. I have many family members, unfortunately, who have gone thru the same thing and it always has the same pattern of them believing they know who’s best to care for them, it’s just a phase of feeling unwanted.
kenji is literally my comfort vtuber
shouldn’t be by his insensitive stupid responses he calls “insults” and “roasts”
@@cary-pin I think you're over thinking it 💀
@@scaralys maybe

The third case didn't really go into it, but that girl has some mental health issues after being in the foster care system for a while... Her case worker; that she kept trying to ask for (in the original video), is the closest thing to a mom for her.
So yeah, she was ridiculous but I have a bit of sympathy...
Title:bullies getting arrested
The vid:littleraly one kid was kinda like a bully the rest where just brats
Also most of the time kids hate their stepdads because they’re not their real dads. And they think since you’re not my real dad I don’t have to like you and don’t have to respect them. Who knows the stepdad could’ve been doing something, or she could just not like him just because her mom is dating him and it’s not her dad. So once again let’s not assume. Assuming gets you nowhere and a lot of times gets the wrong people in trouble.
"Where there's smoke, there's fire." Gotta look into the adult men in her life. Wouldn't be the first time someone projects an experience onto someone else, unfortunately painting the wrong person as the perpetrator.
I remember when I was grounded from my phone I would just watch so many of these on my school computer 😭 and this video was my favorite so I was super excited to see him reacting to it
The 12 year old situation tho....that aint sit right with me....
I feel like Alex probably has some meds hes supposed to be on that hes not on in that video
Yea....😭😭😭
When the 12 year old said “ow my nail!” I felt that pain from my core. But also her actions (not hitting the car or underage drinking, even though there was reason for it) may have been justified. I never had a step dad but when my mom started dating a guy, and the first time I met him was why he just showed up at our house. I know meeting at a house sounds normal, but someone’s house is their personal space. Especially to a child. So if someone just came in and was like “guess what I’m part of the family now” I feel like almost anyone would be a bit pissed. That’s what I’m getting happened by the way she described it.
I do have a stepdad and I can confirm that’s what it is like (I’m 12 like the girl so I understand her) my mom made sure I was comfortable with him at first like bringing him to family dinners but after 2 maybe 3 years he’s starting to get comfortable and me and my older brother hate him now at first he was okay we didn’t mind he until he started feeling too at home like he would comment on my body saying things like “when you get older you’ll have breast like (insert random lady on street with big breast) her” and it’s really uncomfortable and by the time I was building up confidence to tell my mom I was uncomfortable he started doing it in front of her and that completely broke the confidence I built On top of the fact that one day I was getting a physical check up and they gave me for the first time one of those papers that ask like how you are and I got to a question on suicide and my mom got all mad and literally not even a month later she got pregnant (miscarriage) so I really am trying to be dependent and distance myself from her and my stepdad now no matter how much I hang out with her
