- A family of five was found living in a pair of storage units in Verona with no electricity, no toilet and no running water; KDKA's Marty Griffin reports.
It’s legal to be homeless in streets, but it’s illegal to live in storage unit!
not in the rich white neighborhoods, they ACTUALLY enforce panhandling and vagrancy laws.
Ali Rashed right smh
Ali Rashed wtf
Ali Rashed they are greedy they just want money, even if she tries to rent they have a lot of requirements they charge for everything
Ali Rashed "They" are wanting to make living in an RV illegal! Rent is going up and income/raises stay the same. It's all about the rich squeezing out the poor/ middle class!
"They asked us for help, so we immediately called the police!"
That wasn’t the quote genius
That’s the point.
It says Self storage on the sighn. I'm just storing myself. Ipaid my bill
😂😂😂😂
As an adult you probably wouldn't even be noticed. Minors being involved is the big issue here.
@@carlgharis7948 Unfortunately I agree with you. I'm all in favor of adults doing this if they need to. But kids involved, you're gunna need to use proper govt assistant resources, sorry.
@rabd3721 I slept in a storage unit on and off 2016/2017. As because I'm an adult nobody really cares. Granted sadly the resources well lack thier of resources do next to nothing to help people.
At least they are together, that's what is important, and they were clean and fed , I have nothing but respect for them for keeping the kids safe and not being on drugs !! We all need a little help sometimes 🙏🙏🙏🙏
they say services are available, but from my experience, the requirements that allow you to qualify for those services are really strict and contradictory.
YES! Soe people can't follow those "strict" requirements.
the world used to actually help people in some way,,,
Its probably a bit easier if you have kids. And a single adult we'd never found out. The storage unit staff had no idea. So a single individual would of likely just fallen under the radar. And what help thier is oftentimes is hard to get or a joke if you do get it
she was like everybody goes through this
@@youngchap4941 I thankfully haven't slept in a storage unit for going on 3 years now. Granted mine much smaller. 1) I don't have kids 2) I don't have a car 3) I don't really have that much stuff which factors back to #2 that if I had a car I'd of been able to fit all I have in the car and sleep in it factoring back to #1 I being a single man. So I had a smaller one near a transit station and metro rail. You often go unnoticed as a single adult without a vehical. Now you have kids and a vehical you'll be noticed. And services that claim to offer help really they're not adiquit to meet needs. A family would have an easier time obtaining them but what little Aid is provided is often not sufficient. I had a membership at a health club to shower/shave. It's a sad state of affairs we live in the United States we call ourselves a developed country.. I disagree
I did this for awhile cz i did not have a car to live in. it was cold at that time, but it should not matter what you do with you storage as long as you make your monthly rent payments and dont cause any problems!!!
Well being a single adult or even a couple that's 1 thing. But having minors involved epically kids who look like they're not even high school age ya that's going to be a problem. However you know as well as I do even as an adult you DON'T want to live their. You do so because no other options.
I used to work at a "nice" homeless shelter in Texas, and the "help" is stretched thin and underfunded. The rooms were three bunk beds in a 10x10' room, one bed for each wall, the fourth wall had a closet. Resident's stuff was always getting stolen. There weren't enough bathrooms to allow the residents time to shower every day. You had enough time to brush your teeth and wash your face. Dinner every night was spaghetti and a slice of white bread. Curfew was 7pm, which isn't flexible with the working hours in most retail/fast food/service industry jobs. So getting a job to get out of that situation is even more difficult. 25% of our residents had Bachelors degrees and once held jobs that would pay for a middle class life, if you are saying these people got in that situation by their own doing, you are wrong. They had weekly drug tests and would get evicted if they failed their second one. It's not anything close to luxurious, I would live in my car or a storage unit over that place. The one nice thing was that they allowed you to keep 1 dog or cat, a new rule, the residents used to have to give up what was often their only loving family member. I just cringe when people say there is always help, that help is insufficient.
Living in a storage unit is sadly cheaper than a studio or 1-bedroom apartment.
Current situation
Haha. True.
Well.... yeah... If it wasn't what would be the point of a storage unit. That's like saying, Wow, sadly eating scraps from a trash can is less expensive than going out to eat.
Well of course it would be cheaper. It’s probably smaller and even if it wasn’t its not intended for people to live in and has no running water, no gas, and probably no electricity and heating/ac.
Wow. They evicted a family of 3. Teared apart a family for keeping the man made "laws" for money. For greed. For their arrogant pride looking down to those people who can't afford a house
There are a lot of comments on here where people are being exceptionally judgmental.
Millions of people in United States are one or two paychecks away from something like this happening to them. You lose your job, get injured or sick…you hope that your savings will last while you look for a new job or while you recover. But rent and expenses quickly eat up your savings...until both your money and options are gone...and then you lose the roof over your head.
Thankfully, here in the United States we have safety nets for situations like this...public assistance and other programs. Yet, many of you would judge people who ask for assistance, as well.
For all who are so quick to make judgments, I truly hope that if you're ever in a position where you need help that people do not do the same to you.
Lori P. Like I say "what goes up can come down" !! Be careful how you JUDGE because it can happen to anyone with a blink of an eye . Blessings
Especially from what I've seen, its very well possible that you could be too disabled to do any substantial jobs to make enough money to pay rent for a place to live, but not be disabled enough to qualify for disability benefits. When I was homeless in the early 2010's due to depression and anxiety which was causing alcohol abuse, I never did stay in a storage unit, however I did do some stealth camping in wooded areas, under bridges, and in abandoned buildings
In FL my county, getting help takes months of paperwork and red tape even if you have small kids.
The places only do intake a couple times a month, but don't post the dates and times you have to call and leave a message. By the time you get a call back, the in take time has passed or the funds ran out. Come back next month.
This family only got help because the media was involved. And city and county officials needed to look good we are helping this family by skipping all the red tape because it's a major election year and they want to Keep there seats and county jobs.
They said they would help, and then they called human services on them.
They should have called the police, not human services. All human services will do is give these people taxpay dollars they didn't earn. The fact they put them into emergency housing proves that this news crew did the wrong thing. More welfare for those who refuse to work. The adults should be in jail and forced to pay for the clean up of the mess they left, and the kids should be put into foster care. If this family wasn't split up and the parents put in jail for a long time, then I'm going to be furious.
@@Chris-Christopher- Yeah that makes sense. If someones family isn't ruined, you will be furious. For the price of housing them in jail, we could put a real roof over their head instead, and keep the family together. Some kids are better off with foster parents, but most often it's just a surefire to path mental problems for the kids that got separated from their parents. There are happy families in countries with way worse standards of livings.
@@r2dxhate, you say "For the price of housing them in jail, we could put a real roof over their head instead, and keep the family together". I say for the price of giving them a roof over their head, we could lock them all up for good and not have to worry about them committing crimes in the future. I don't care if some kids good better in foster care or if they do better with their parents. This isn't about what's best for the kids or the parents. This is about following the law and punishing those who do not follow the law. They slept in a storage unit. That is illegal. They need to be punished for it. Lock the parents for 10 years and ensure they never see the kids again.
As for the kids, the foster care is broken and mostly used by leeches to collected money for nothing. That is why these kids should be put into juvenile hall until they are 18, and then transferred to adult prison. At their age they are beyond fixing and should be proactively kept off the streets. If the liberals were not so weird about capital punishment, I would like to see it used in this care for everyone involved. I am tired of these people ruining my great country.
@@Chris-Christopher- I assume you're being sarcastic with ghoulish overkill to prove your point.
But if you're being genuine, then you seem very religious about the law. You do realize that this country is less than 300 years old, and the laws are supposed to be made by the people, right? Except the system has been perverted so that laws are made by corporations and special interests, and sometimes even perverted by foreign interests.
You want capitol punishment for a parent doing whatever they can to keep their kids off the street? You're a monster. Have you seen the "working homeless" problem? Where democrat cities like LA have such a high cost of living that fully employed single parents can't afford to live anywhere?
Cities like Detroit built this country with brands like Ford, and then communist China stole our manufacturing and made those economies collapse.
Factory workers spent their lives pushing a button, or screwing in the same thing over and over, for surprisingly ok money; and then got replaced by a machine. How do you blame those people for not being able to learn highly technical jobs? Assembly line jobs attracted the dullest of humans to do rudimentary jobs, and then those jobs washed up and left a bunch of unskilled workers in a central location.
This "Systemic racism" stuff really seems to be about covering up classism.
But you just sound bitter.
@@Chris-Christopher- dude what's wrong with you?? sure locking up people will solve society's problems!! SMH...
So he calls social services,child pertective services,yeah that's helping the family.Helping them rite to jail...
Nice going Marty ahole
Like they chose they wanted to live there they lost there home!!!
good thing they don't have to worry about child services that shit is already a joke and only punishes people who actually try to take of of other kids from neglectful parents
@@strawberrycow6673, because they spent all their money on drugs. The sooner these kids are warehoused in prison the better off we'll be.
What's pertective? I know protective, but not pertective.
When you do something like this, you're supposed to be discreet; you're not supposed to leave cigarette butts out in the place and become a nuisance
Obviously, they can afford to smoke cigarettes but not pay rent.
@landisgrant5780 help then 🤡 stop hating
@@Landis_Grantthey don’t care! I can from food could have been used but they are too lazy to do that!!!!
Main Stream Media acts like this is something new. It has been going on for years. Everyone turns a blind eye to the homeless. Then when they do something like this to avoid living in the elements on the streets. The county gets mad and wants to prosecute. Makes no sense when you see people trying to get out of their position. The storage facility I rent from has about 7 people living there. But I think the owners know and are only looking at the money value. And my city is also anti homeless. They don't offer any long term solution as most small cities. This is a result of people either down on their luck, Homeless after released from jail or drug use. When both President Trump and Hillary were campaigning. Neither one ever mentioned anything about the homeless. Pretty Sad!
Stringer Media It's all just beyond sickening. Not just the clueless big media reactions but most of the brain dead social media reactions such as a lot of the vile comments right here on RUclips. Our modern society glorifies high finance con artists, crooked politicians, vapid pop music celebrities, and talentless reality TV stars. Showering such fools with endless amounts of money (money that these millionaires don't need at this point). Then someone gets in a bad situation like living in a storage unit or crashing on a friend's couch for a couple weeks... And holy moly what a scumbag that unfortunate person is for having the nerve to not be rich and $ucce$$ful!!!! It's just beyond the point of shaking sense into these fools who have zero empathy for another human being. These tools are just soft fleshy robots who consume and buy. Materialist mechanisms, that's all 90% of the populace is anymore. It's sad. The funny thing is when there's an uprising or collapse of government, the resourceful folks who endured hardships with novel solutions will be the ones who survive while all the little corporate capitalist slaves die when they can no longer tweet about the calamity facing them.
Well said. We think alike. I am glad there are still people like you out there who still knows what's really going on.
Craig Johns I've often wondered how much money do these wealthy people need? At what point do they feel they are "going without"?
I have personally been homeless 3 times and have managed to pull myself out of those situations. Was it hard? Yes. Very time consuming and the will to want to do so.This was my own fault due to some dui's when I was younger. I am now disabled due to heart failure and live on a fixed income. This was not how I thought my life would turn out. But God gave me no choice in the matter. I own a car with insurance and rent a nice room in a home. That's it. Due to my disability I was not successful enough to own my own home or able to gain enough years for a regular retirement from a company. I do have 30 years work credits so I will be entitled to a small social security check when the time comes. My point is I live very minimal. I think people that have everything under the sun in their garage and the roof of a home over their head. Still don't think have enough. That's where that old saying comes from. "Keeping up with the Jones" Because they don't want the neighbors looking down on them because their car is an older model. Or their kids aren't carrying cell phones like the other kids. I think most of the people who make bias and selfish comments on subjects like this against mankind is very uncalled for and maybe they should try to be part of the solution instead of being part of the problem spreading their hate in words because they can. There is also another saying "Never say never" because no one is an exception to homelessness.
Caryn Schwengel Yep, they scold everyone else for spending money on anything but cheap drinking water and rice & beans, yet when Christmas shopping season rolls around they urge everyone to rush out a buy! buy! buy! or else the economy will crater into a dark pit of death. They want us spending our money on all the products and services offered from the companies they invest in, and they simultaneously shame us at the same time for buying these products that make them wealthier. Plus then a lot of their middle class salary slaves shame anyone even slightly beneath them in terms of wages and material possessions.
"they could be charged with endangerment of children" wow you're such a good guy. Really helping keeping families together. Cancel this guy wth
how does HE have anything to do with them losing their kids? He actually HELPED them get help from DSS... However.. I can guarantee it happened just like someone above said.. the only reason they got help was because they were on the news and DSS isn't going to not help them and get blasted for it. I bet they DID apply for help but were denied. they tell you to go to a homeless shelter but you have to stand in line for hours and they are riddled w/ bugs, drugs, rats, theives. What I find funny is living in a storage unit is endangering the welfare of the children but staying in a homeless shelter w/ all of the above isn't. smh.
If you were concerned with keeping your family together you wouldn't be living in a storage unit. You got money for cigarettes you got money to pay rent. And you should think about how you are going to pay for kids before having them. Learn what a condom is.
The only reason they didn't want because the media was involved and it would not looked good on city and county officials in the middle of one the biggest election years in history.
If they had, they would lose votes real fast.
They know how bad the economy is and turn blind eye till media does stories like this and they have to say we doing good and keeping the family together.
They found the funds real fast to get them into an apartment.
The officials didn't do it to be nice. They did it for personal gain to get reelected and keep cushy jobs.
If it had not been for the media, they got no help and kids were in foster state care.
Yep and publicly putting them on camera too
They got a place to live. Only because the news was involved. It went public. The housing service had no choice but to help this family because they were on the news. I'm sure they applied for emergency housing and were either denied, or were on some waiting list. If it wasn't for them being on the news, they would still be living there.
EXACTLY!
Rule number 1. If you are living somewhere you shouldn't be, don't liter the ground with your cigarette butts.
They live in a gated community!
Omg lol
Shoot when i was homeless i couldn't get emergency housing assistance because i was homeless
FYI: For those considering doing this, more-than-often(especially non-climate controlled storage), the inside walls are often painted with a mixture of paint & pesticide. The idea is to keep bugs out. But when it gets hot inside, the pesticide becomes much more active, and thus pesticide into the lungs becomes deadly. The same idea applies if/when someone uses a heater(to keep warm) inside the container.
this is what our country turns a blind eye to, and its pathetic. People need money to live on when jobs are not available or money from jobs just cannot pay rents that are sky high
Who can blame them? did you see rent prices?
Meanwhile we have people in California who don't think their $500,000 McMansion is enough...sick.
A $500,000 house in Southern California is nothing. $2M is the norm.
For those of you who have never experienced homelessness, let me tell you, this is so so much better than living in a car or even worse on the streets. This would be a homeless persons dream.
A lot of people do that. It's not shocking. There's showers and bathrooms in other places. Duh.
It would save me a ton of money
Rent a U-Haul on a monthly basis which is cheaper than renting an apartment.
People cannot help the unfortunate situations they find themselves in. Don't judge!!! HELP!!!!
Let them in your home then
👏👏👏👏👏
Cant afford a place to live but you can ALWAYS afford to smoke cigarettes right?
Very trivial comment.
Politically Incorrect Leftist. Also they maybe rolling their own. It's sooooo much cheaper.
Mary Bartels arent ciggerets there only like $8 cuase thats NOTHHHHINGGGG in australia people go through 2 packs a day n in Australia there EXPENSIVE its like $20 a pack so some people spend $40 a day
@Hobo Kid If s/he knows how much the cigarettes are in that part of America and the price is cheap, then yes, I agree with you, however I doubt s/he _is_ aware of the price in that particular part of America. I don't know the price either. In Aussie and NZ cigarettes are very expensive.
@@gameoflife9581 well in canada you can get native cigs for 2 bucks a carton. Not a pack lol.
If you're living in a storage unit keep under the radar and don't throw butts and trash around. You ruin it for anyone else that may need that option.
this has been happening in america for a long time..thats sad
Gawd damn. Look at all those cigarette butts on the ground. Can't they just put it in a tin can? Imagine what their porch would look like if they had a house (if those are their butts)?
Obviously she's stressed...
Macky1101 if they can afford cigs and McDonald's everyday they can afford better living conditions
I know, what a bunch of pigs. Oh yes, let’s all help them quit smoking. Sad story, but ironic too. There but for the grace of God go I. But cigs and McD’s???
Just cause you're poor, doesn't mean you have to be dirty. - words from my mom.
and now they are homeless .
If you live in an high cost of living state it can be highly beneficial in saving up for an rv to live in rather than a van as they don't have enough basic equipment and essentials to make it easier. Used to view living out of an rv or van with rv essentials as a low life way of living but man! Having a new perspective and not going by what society says in this regard. You do what you have to do to survive.
God Bless All of them ❗ It Gets Better one Day at a time......💕
compare this to the dude from Vancouver... he was living in luxury. shows how far brains can take you
blake steel he got caught and kick out lol
Moonlight Princess He has a flat now
We have money for illegal immigrants but not for our own! I'm a legal immigrant and U.S. is my home.
This guy is a real piece of work.
This is not really new. Please bless this family and get them back on their feet.
If this were to happen in other states, the children would have been removed by the Dept of Children and Families and placed in foster care. Other states have no "emergency housing" outside of shelters and when that time is up its up. I had DCF tell me that its not their job to find my clients housing, its the parents job to find housing and if they cant the children will be taken.
Make it affordable to live. Don't pay people with their making in the 90s.
WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL HAVING CHILDREN WHEN PRICES ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE SKY ROCKETING. WHY BRING CHILDREN INTO THIS MESS?
I remember a pack of Marlboro would cost around 9 bucks two years ago when I was in Pennsylvania. They might be able to get an apartment if they would quit smoking.
I remember when a beef roast cost $15. Maybe they would be able to get an apartment if they quit eating
I guess this is what happens when more storage units are built than housing units.
I feel bad they're in that situation but i need to ask, Why are they in that situation? You got two fully able working bodies that can easily bring in 40k a year together working at McDonalds. Most of the time this is always bad money management, or drug abuse. They obviously don't have their priorities straight if they can spend money on cigarettes but not for rent.
Michael Reyes what mcdonalds you working at. 40k a year for fucks sake more like 22k with ot
irvmo91 I see two people who can work at McDonald's.
yeah working at mcdonalds like 20k a year, only 40k if you've worked there for like 10 years
You know you need a permanent address to get a job, right? And you don't know if they're healthy or not. I look perfectly fine, but I have a handicapped placard for my car because I have a severe autoimmune disease.
There's so much you don't know about life. You can't just go get a job like nothing. I remember before I got my first job I put in about 4 to 5 applications a day for almost a year before I finally got a job
God bless them . I hope they are doing better this year .
At least they were together and the reason why they probably didn't ask for help is because they knew exactly what was going to happen the government was going to steal their children from them.
Nobody in America should be doing this ever. America can help anyone and others but can help our own. God help Americans First!
How can they afford to smoke?
Child Protection need to rescue these kids.
at least it’s a roof out of the weather, people sleeping in tents, boxes, this family is together. make housing more affordable
So they don't have money for a home but they have money for cigarettes? Terrible parents are terrible.
I do not feel sorry for making poor decisions and not working for a living.
U don't know people situation so stop talking ..
I would die before I became a line on a programs spreadsheet. These programs use your poor circumstances to provide budgets and salaries for themselves and their families. They are vultures.
How does that kid have a phone charger than?
Phones are a necesity these days and you can get a cheap one for under 100 dollars maybe even 50.
@Fart Zilla @bassted electric Theres cheaper plans and in some cases you can get by with less data use.
Honestly i dont get if bassted is just joking but phone chargers go for cheap
then not than
Meth is a hell of a drug yo.
karl Anderson true . very true. Sad part is at the end he said the family was purchased an appt .
Anthony Durley lol why is it sad for them to get a apartment?
Shitty income also is. I heard of people working full time who cant afford rent. Opening your eyes help
karl Anderson so drugs have to be involved? Or are you talking about your experiences with drug usage? Just curious because I didn’t see any drug usage and my brain isn’t so small that I’d just randomly assume.
Husband looks like he's got it under control.. a strong, silent alpha male
Don't judge them from a edited story.
I would wager that all the people here talking shit about them buying cigs and that their kids should be taken away have never been homeless and felt this desperate. When you lose it all sometimes just small shit like being able to have a few cigs to get through stressful day. And you dont have to be on drugs to live like this. Many many homeless people in this country struggle with mental health issues. My major depressive disorder has caused me to lose it all a few times.
In AMERICA 🇺🇸 it is ILLEGAL to be HOMELESS. It is illegal to sleep in your car, live in an RV or a storage unit. The thing is it is not being fully enforced.
This is my problem with the homeless. The minority of people like this that ruin it for the good homeless people. No respect for anything or anyone. Done with a cigarette? Just toss it on the ground like an animal. On someone else's property. Ridiculous.
Storage companies know this is going on
Not gonna lie if they were someone else instead of getting housings the kids would have been taken to cps
Nateria Berry /Teri Janelle sweet heart those kids did get taken
Nateria Berry /Teri Janelle thats real tho. Im sure media wanted to seem as if they cared.
Dcf did take the kids an parents were charged
Didn't you watch the video and listen to what they said? They still may be charged with child endangerment. They still investigating the parents. And then they'll be watched and supervised for a while to come.
Lori Knoell she's crying white privilege an making the point that if they were any other color they'll have their kids taken away.. While there's alot of people from all color being helped despite race differences..
They'll complain about any an everything
They have enough $ for cigarettes, tho
There is ALWAYS money for cigarettes and beer. ALWAYS. And then they just litter the ground like the scumbags they are.
I can tell both of you have never struggled in your lives.
@@gavinpeterson5323 there probly kids
I smoke. But I'm not nasty about it. Look at that mess they left outside the unit.
Trashy.
No shit; hell in Stallingrad they dropped cigars when the troops died of malnurishment,
cause people who are stressed as shit need some relif in their life and that cigar migth be an important occasion to an otherwise depressing life
This is the world's greatest country..
Ther are alot of ways to make this work and not be that bad. They keep saying no electricity or plumbing. Jesus christ electricity and plumbing is relatively new when compaired to how long the human race has existed. And these folks have it a whole lot better than some. They have a roof and a place to lay their head at night. The reporter says its dangerous....why because their only light is a cell phone? I see nothing wrong with it. The only thing i see that is questionable is all the cigarettes on the ground right outside their door.... A huge pile of them. That actually speaks volumes of the person living there. It says alot about the personality type. Not the fact that they smoke ,but the fact that they would just let them pile up like that right outside ther door. They also just have things just thrown in the unit and a place carved out for the bed. What im saying is they could make it easier on themselves if they were a bit more neat and clean about their situation. I lived in a storage unit for three years ....BY CHOICE! It was one of those storage facilities that were not owned by a major chain. The unit i lived in had electricity though. And every storage unit ive ever seen has a light in it and at least one outlet. So i dont know why theirs wouldnt. But i also bought a composting toilet from an rv store i also bought a membership to a gym that had showers. I was quite comfortable. In fact i look back on that time fondly. I lived there for 3 years actually closer to 4. I had a plan when i did this. I was able to save almost 80,000 dollars in that time. Then i bought a small house at auction that needed alot of work and i mean ALOT! But i paid 32,000 for it and quickly went to work fixing it up to where i could live in it. And after 3 years and 7 months of living in a storage unit i OWNED my home ! Now after 6 years my house is complete and i live in a house that does not have a mortgage ITS ALL MINE! And i worked hard for it and im proud of what i did to achieve this. The only bad part about living in a storage unit is the stigma that people put on it. Oh these poor people living in a storage unit....they are sub human because they dont have a rent payment of 1200 a month or a electric bill of 250 a month oh those poor people. Thats ridiculous. I looked at it this way ...."MY RENT IS ONLY 137 DOLLARS A MONTH ! I can save 1500 a month on living expenses on top of my other savings. My story is no different than theirs they are just looking at it negatively. They could very easily turn that negative into a positive. Even with a minimum wage job they could save up a nice little nest egg . but i got a feeling that its more a case of drugs or drinking and wanting the tax payer to take care of them. Just hanging out in front of your storage unit smoking and feeling sorry for yourself will get you nowhere. But i digress. I would do it all over again i honestly can say i had absolutely no hardships while i lived in a storage unit. It was sooo easy. Not alit to clean up. No grass to cut. And after awhile the other people that rented units got to know what i was doing and it got back to the owner of the facility and i pled my case and told him that i would offer security and watch over the place at night. And thats when i did start having some chores ti do around the place i.e. pi king up trash and keeping the place clean. I also earned a few extra bucks when people moved their stuff out and into ther homes. I helped at least 200 people move stuff and everyone of them insisted on paying me. It got to the point where if i was on site and someone needed help the owner would call me from the office and say "can you help so and so move their stuff into unit whatever?" When he rented a new unit he would say to the new customer" i got a guy back there that will help you move your stuff if you need help." I really miss that place sometimes. So stop feeling sorry for yourself hold your head high and make the best of the situation .....its not that bad
This makes me proud to be An American
If you're not financially stable, do not have children.
Im sick of this greedy world, making it so unaffordable to maintain a home to live in. It shouldn't be this bad. Worse than a third-world country.
Just leave them alone. Man..
Storage is expensive, especially for 2 units! They had power from a plug, it came from somewhere. If I did this in Kansas they would take my kids away.
I am paying $210/mth for my average size storage unit.
GO USA!!!! Let's make sure we feed, clothe, and house more illegal immigrants--or better--some refugees from Syria. Because obviously we have everything under control in our own back yard. Disgraceful.
my aunt found a whole hispanic family living in their office bldg on a vacant floor
What did she do?
Why on earth would you put your kids through this. You can't fix stupid. They coulda sold all that shit.
Can’t even properly throw cigarette butts in the trash, how do they expect to get their lives in order.
People gotta do what they gottado,yall act like this dont happen
And of course I can't discuss the case because they don't want anybody to know that they've stolen these people's children from them.
Boo Marty! Your "Help" comes along with judgement upon the parents who are clearly struggling. Who would put their kids in their situation? Someone without a home!
Storage unit knew, they didn't care.
Great investigative work
What’s shocking is the city .. the world is getting bad out here.. 😢
The manager of storage units have multiple cameras. Why didn't the manager see this along time ago.
Apparently, being homeless on the street is a better option?
These days people have to do what they have to they don't have money for a house or an apartment so they have to resort to desperate measures a family can't live out of a car. Life today is tough for a lot of people and it's not getting any easier. There are way too many displaced families today. It's a sad world we live in
Stay off drugs people
2:52 The sad part is the storage unit operator probably did know they lived there but let them anyway, because where else do they go? The damn media had to stick their noses where it doesn't belong and completely ruin what little those people had
CPS needs to take those kids away.
they did
Can't get over that 'white privilage'...
God grace and mercy Amen
Yall say you're going to help them and you fucking call "human services"... She probably got threatened to have her kids taken away and charges pressed against them... Now more stress. Smh.
With housing prices unaffordable... what you expect?
They bought attention themselves with some damn useless cigarettes.
I wonder why they Couldn't get a job in 2 months wow ....Had money for cigarettes
To get a job, one must have a physical address, no PO boxes, which also require a physical address. The government has set up a system of slavery and a way to track the slaves. Those off the radar pay the price of misery.
@PaPa-D They (the elitists (Rothschilds)) are culling back the population of those with food that only the most gullible will eat, vaccines they will inject, pills they will swallow, fluoride they will drink in hopes they will die or commit suicide. They believe they smarter than the little people, and will keep only those who can serve them. Its a classic case of the Morlocks from "The Time Machine."
Really? This is what you put on local news? These kids are gonna have to go to school in this town and you put their family name out there hard.
There are thousands of people living in them
A pack of cigarettes cost $8, a carton almost $100. There was no rhyme or reason for being messy and not organized. Where were the adults and a fast food job? Looks like no responsibility taken here.
That's a dam shame. I hope I never have to have my kids in that situation.
Neither should older ppl but ths world forgets about thr needs
So we have time to help Israel but not our own. America first.......

Ur an idiot in life the country doesn't buy you a house a job it ur responsibility to take care of your family
That's sad but he did look out for them
Why in the whole hell would you leave a bunch of cigarette butts on the ground when you are sneaking to live there? 🤦🏿♀️
The shame. A dark moment in America.
He’s no help at all! Sorry
