Lisa needs to get more credit and be recognize for her reporting. She is awesome. Information that we so often never think about.
Lisa is a sweetheart and empathizes with these mothers...💔
You did everything except take him from that neighborhood (environment). 5:19
Lisa Ling is A+ journalism. ❤
God bless brother Terry and the parents that have lost their babies.
You did everything except take him from that neighborhood (environment). 5:19
Best gifts to your kids is moving from bad neighborhood 😭
Best gift to your kids is providing a stable home with mom and dad
Sometimes, it's difficult when you are not financially able to! Most work with what they have! It's 2024, and we still have the prison to pipeline in every black community!
Have you seen home prices lately?
@brownbagz, all those trips she described they went on would have gone on either an apartment in a better neighborhood or a home. Sometimes we spend our money on the wrong things. I know she meant well but I wish someone could have told her to invest that money in a better community for her son..
@@quit2quilt525you make it seem like it’s easy to relocate. She did what she thought was right allowing him to see outside the neighborhood. Trips can be cheap, rent and mortgage is not, so if she go on a trip it’s not monthly. As a parent she tried! If it was that easy nobody would live in the inner city! It would be empty
Watching these mothers is heart wrenching 💔
You did everything except take him from that neighborhood (environment). 5:19
That 1st mom has me in tears those deep breathes full of sorrow...I felt a measure of her pain 💔
me too
As a mother I could not imagine. My Prayers are with All of you...
You did everything except take him from that neighborhood (environment). 5:19
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Praises and blessings to the men stepping up to save those youths and to clean up the community.
yes yes
God bless Terry. God protect him as he walks the streets of Philly🙏🏼🇨🇦🙏🏼❤️
WHERE IS HIS DAD?!
Such an amazing documentary. It reminds me to some extent of my childhood in Brooklyn. People operate from a space of survival: Me or you. Sigh. Praying for those who have been impacted by loss.
And a big big Bravo to the courageous mother's good bless you all🙏
My son was murdered in 2017, and seeing this amount of mothers in the same place is devastating. There aren't words to describe the amount of strength it takes daily to choose to move forward... to get up, go to work, get breakfast lunch and dinner ready, to want to eat, and it doesn't get easier
This is like another planet. I live in Poland and you can be walking alone night and day and nobody will even bother you let alone attack you. Zero homelessness on the streets either.
Stay in Poland because America has all of that and above!
wow. It is interesting to know that..I have read that eastern Europe is safer than the USA.
just like Dubai (UAE), one of the safest places to live.I walk in the streets late in the night from work and no one bothers.
@@annetteodangaI live near Dubai and although that city and surrounding countries are safe, low crime doesn’t mean no crime. Always be vigilant. God bless you.
I wish the mayor would put more trade schools in thr neighborhood. Community centers could promote chess, wood working, electrician work, car mechanic skills, building construction, plumbing, interior decorating, clothes sales, cooking, etc..
What's with all the garbage on the streets and sidewalks? To really begin addressing the problems of the neighborhood, maybe make the environment more pleasant. Pride of place is a real motivator. Pride starts at home. I know it sounds silly, but nothing else seems to work
that is how they think. drive by low income housing and it is the same thing. white/black/asian. being poor is no excuse for garbage!
Lmao pride of place has 0 to do with why Philly is the way it is. Philly, like most predominantly Black areas, has been historically looted for centuries. It's marred by governmental neglect and intentional concentrated poverty. Philly has a trash problem, yes, but the physical trash can be cleaned up, the socioeconomic trash is way more extensive, sinsister and far-reaching.
Well the mayor is trying to clean up the streets of trash it's definitely not gonna happen overnight. I'm from North Philly but raised my kids in Mount Airy. I took my kids to the neighborhood I grew up in and my daughter was like mom why does the street look like an alley way. I told her because some people don't take pride in their neighborhood. I remember growing in the 80's we had weekly block cleanings. They are tryna bring that back as well.
A lot of the residents are depressed, poor, uneducated… proper trash disposal is the last thing on their mind. We have this problem in many slums in Asia.
Hopefully the new generation gets educated on this and things change in those neighborhoods.
I wonder why the mother who worked hard to keep her son off the streets didn't work hard to move out of the neighborhood.
She probably didn’t think of that. I’m sure she would have if she had the knowledge or experience with that way of thinking.
@quit2quilt525 ya,I don't get how she couldn't figure tht out because tht is one of the root causes of the problem,but hey🤷🏾♀️
Maybe she was doing the best she could. Not everybody has the means or resources to move.
America is a large place, you can take a car and drive from State to State, I don't live there,but one thing I always say there is no way as a BLACK PERSON, I will choose to live or stay in these neighborhoods, THE BLACK MAN'S BIGGEST ENEMY , IS THE ONE WHO LOOKS LIKE HIM. Simple as that.
Probably too expensive to move... I'm sure she thought of it.....
God blessed terry doing the lords work and holding those who need to be loved. Wow, so inspiring. I hope he is well and blessed.
Sending my love and prayers 😢😢😢
When I listen to the young man say when he had a gun he felt powerful, that he could take someone’s life. But the devil is cunning, baffling and powerful, you don’t take someone else’s life, he’s actually giving up his own life.
Wow this is so sad. Great documentary!
Heartbreaking. 💔 Why not move your family away from such a violent city?
Move where when your priced out and taxed to death? Move where?
@@saphire2214 you don't think they would qualify for low income housing!?
please
@@harley8680 Do you know what the murder rate looks like for neighborhoods with low income housing? This neighborhood is just one of many. Bottom line is these neighborhoods are designed for poor people to stay poor and for poor black people to k*ill each other. It’s a slow genna cide. Go research the history of these neighborhoods and how they became what they are.
Ppl don't wanna live next to ppl who don't want them. The mind of Fearfull ppl is the worst place for anyone to exist
@@bobbazoid9969 that doesn't make sense
The problem is that these kids don't have a positive father figure in their lives when they were growing up and they look at their homeboys and criminals as their role models. A lot of these men in the video are old with grey hair and beard, but they still haven't grown up. I feel sorry for these mothers. They give so much of themselves to their kids and they are so helpless in this situation.
Yes. These boys are raised by the streets. No father figures but the women are blamed.
& White Supremacy...they control our jobs neighborhoods etc...etc
Guns is not the problem here. These kid/young man grow up without a father figure is the real problem here.
And social media as well they go on social media and post diss songs
Where are the father’s/ positive masculine figures?
You ain’t heard … they momma is the mom amd the dad …. They say it themselves all the time
Jail
@@LoyaltyIsEvrthng what about the fathers fighting in court for their children/legacy if that’s the case? Not every mother has that mindset. Too many fathers don’t prioritize children.
@@Ash2beautywhat’s even sadder is that the explanation that you gave regarding black fathers not being present is the same justification used to enslave Africans in America. Before there was court black families parental decision was decided upon by the slave master wives. Also here is some advice from someone that works in family court daily. These judges think they are just slave masters handling poor little black peoples family issues. It’s 2024 but we still behave like 1850’s. You should read post traumatic slave syndrome by joy degruy.
I dated a man whose father graped him and his sister and almost beat them (mother, son, sister) to 💀 ....for years. And I heard similar stories from others, where the fathers were in the homes...back in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
My heart breaks for this sweet loving mother💕🙏🏼
This is why I thank god I was able to move my family
Heartbreaking story, Lisa. Thank you for covering this with so much integrity and respect.
Lisa is amazing!! Thank you for shedding light on this subject
If families where not broken this wouldn’t be a problem
As someone from the south Fay NC
And living and dating a girl in northeast Philly I can tell you this is the REALITY
MUCH love and respect to Terry and the mother and father who lost a child
Guns coupled with the fent
Make this a dead end City
IMO
I’ll tell you one thing… she is in them trenches for real! She went into the most grittiest parts of our city.
That's what I was saying I was like wow ok Lisa! But best believe she isn't by herself u already knew she got mad security with her!
I won’t think she has security just the camera man. Journalists report from many dangerous places around the world without security
*don’t
Miss Lisa Ling... im a 38 year old man and throughout your successes you might not remember but my favorite part of middle school was the beginning of class where they had school announcements and my favorite part of the day, please do not take any type of offense to this but i used to have the biggest crush on my favorite part of the school day watching you report on channel one news in the Cherry Creek district of Colorado... i promise you im no stalker type of man just had a flash back when i was just a young kid learning the ways of life... big ups to you mrs. Lisa Ling for everything and all you do and have accomplished throughout these years... seeing how professional you were i knew you were going to become someone important and more famous than you were... the best part is that you work these hard/dangerous jobs and if you wanted to throw your name out there youde be on every magazine cover winning awards but it shows you really care for what you do and you dont look at it like everyone else would and just try to get there face and name out there but youre different.. big ups miss Lisa!
I felt so sad today watching this 😢 😞
Why? Do you live in KILLADELPHIA?
Terry…you are changing lives..you went through what you went through to help everyone you come in contact with. You’re changing the world. ✌️&❤️
Simple solution...MOVE! Move your kids far far away! and YES you can
I thought it was simple as well
Simple? That’s an insensitive comment.
Never that easy
It’s never too late to make a change in your life. Learn from your mistakes and find somebody that’s doing the right things to mentor with and help you make better decisions
Now please do a documentary on the extensive drug issue that has been ignored by the police in Philly! The plan behind the failure to address the drug issue in an effort to push gentrification!!!
Pennsylvania in a nutshell
💔💔💔
I notice no fathers... very sad
There were a couple of fathers … the thing is, those fathers were failed by their own fathers and other male adults and they just did what they saw as normal.
Only them can fix & break the never ending circle of ‘culture’… no one else ! A friend of mine grew up in that environment but he made it out , went college university became orthopedic owns couple of businesses .. His life story is unbelievable…
Just got back from the beach
So basically they are killing each other just because they are worried what others will think of them and to have respect. Respect for what? What meaningful thing they did to earn that? What a dumb mentality.
Were you brought up on the streets of Philadelphia, Kensington? Think that through again and don't insult anyone for where their living. No one knows what someone else is going through so be kind or don't say anything ( didn't your parents teach you that) ????
@@maryannhope8276it is a dumb mentality to have. She/he didn't say anything wrong. It is what it is
Philly is one of the largest, poorest cities in the country. Instead of blaming individuals who are only acting out of trauma, a better and more compassionate question to ask is what is driving the murder rate? what causes crime? why are Black boys acting out? Where theres poverty, theres violence and where theres pain, theres death.
Its 2024, the age of information. Learn you something before speaking
But most Civil wars are like that ?
Why does a mother more frequently remain with her children while a father more frequently does not remain with his children? Would this resulting sadness dramatically decrease if more fathers stayed with children at the same rate mothers stay with children?
The AA culture promotes degeneracy
Where are the fathers? Therein lies the problem
😊🙏💜
Absent Fathers are some of the problem
So she took all that money and instead of moving out the hood she took trips
As an African i cant believe that these men are not utilising all the resources America has to offer
Unless your family has money & connections, you fail in America. It's the land of struggle not opportunities for most citizens. They just have the greatest lie ever told in advertising by the Hollywood machine to say once you work hard in America, you can achieve the "American Dream" - it's pretty much non-existent or dead
You clearly don't understand the real truth about USA. Nowadays people only make it if they come from families with money and/or connections. Hollywood put out the biggest lie to the world making it seem like if you work hard you can prove your life & that of future generations. The American Dream is a lie - it's never truly existed especially for all poor people & minorities since WW1
As an African American woman you don’t know what you are talking about. It is well known that the powers that be, put drugs and guns in the black community. I work in a place with hundreds of employees and there are less than a handful of full of black men and half of them are gay and that is for a reason. I run a small business on the side and someone in my townhouse community filed a complaint against me stating that I am running an illegal business, when I have a business license and I pay taxes. I have to go to court to prove it in two weeks. It’s called racism miss and it’s real.
If you grow up in a broken family with no father or a criminal one and a mother that works a lot or who may have addiction issues it’s not on your mind. They may never have seen good role models so why should they care about those “ressources”? The gang members are their family in their mind even if there’s no real loyalty
Dont cry you have a hope of seeing your love one again.
The same thing is happening in DC with these young kids. Sad!
Any update on Jamal?
I wonder too this episode aired in 2014
Lisa Ling has a great spirit! Why do people question G-d? We humans are responsible for wickedness; we are responsible for the good and the bad. Humans must be held accountable. Collectively humans can end it all. Humans are the vicegerents on this earth. 👍🏾🕍🕌
The black male leaders and the black female leaders have to take this on.
Why not leave and move to a safe state.?
For free? Lol
@@adamantium4797 If it were me.. and especially if I had children..I would leave with NOTHING IF i HAD TO TO PROTECT MY CHILDREN'S LIFE . if your poor and on assistance you can get that in another safer state. What is more important then your children's lives. and yours.?...STARTING FROM NOTHING if need be..... is better then being shot dead..
my question where are the fathers mothers cant do that much where are the fathers
Tracy Sr is fine
41yo where🤔🤔 that man is FINE FINE. RIP Tracy jr
Common denominator: y’all all eliminated the father in the hospital
Why so many guns on the streets??
Because criminals will be criminals
*Relocate...*
Fathers are a son’s biggest role model and influence………… who are you really angry with?
Has a history of violence.
Is back out on the street.
Instead of life with no parole imprisonment, the death penalty.
Hopefully, Jamal can be a youtuber until something comes along. People are making real money doing it.
This episode was 10 years ago. How’s he doing?
At this point I'm tired of hearing a sad stories everybody is trying to make it Good luck
Always from a "single mother".....
Mothers in charge….. start by choosing a partner to raise your kid together in a loving two parent household. Having a solid relationship before bringing a child into the world.
Jamal better get his cdls
Cease Fire - Culture and mindset correction in progress. Blessings
🕊🌎🕊🕊sharing🫂thankYOU
Philly a dangerous place
Very sad; l think black young men should go to the military.
They do. Hispanic as well as they can become citizens quicker.
They don't want nobody to tell them what to do
What? lmao gosh this is such a horrible take
Ain't no way Terry is 36. 56 maybe
I was saying the same thing! I reminded back cause I thought I heard wrong 😭😭😭😭
@@starlettawilliams93 Yeah, they definitely got that wrong. And this is from 2013 so he must be in his 60s now.
what at all will keep someone in a community where you know this is the situation? please move away for Gods sake
Alot of ppl can't afford to. U must not be from Philly. U gotta have 2 full time jobs just to pay rent. Gentrification is at an all time high!
Single mommas the system made it this way fact
Shoulda stayed with the dad, now live the rest of your life😂
I'm sorry, you had the finances to do a lot for your son, so why didn't you take the money and move to a safer state. Not victim blaming but if location is the common factor. It's just sad
Nope you not victim blaming … YOU TELLING THE TRUTH THEY DONT WANNA HEAR!
Trouble is everywhere.
Yall really sound crazy! A trip is maybe a thousand! Down payment to move 5-6k that’s if you rent, if get a mortgage down payment is 20%! If it was that easy to move nobody would travel just move. Y’all make statements that doesn’t make sense! I was able to afford to relocate! But I know ppl who wasn’t as fortunate or didn’t have the knowledge!
Young man needs more education. He is smiling while talking about the guns. Sad
Still Americans won’t give up their guns
No, criminals won’t give them up. The issue is deeper than “gun control”
Do videos on other races.
What’s your point?
I dont understand why Americas allow gun.😢
These aren’t legal weapons. It’s not right to only allow criminals to have guns because they will possess them no matter what.
what a sick country
Culture*
@@Art_thecl0wn No country is correct , lets not forget white americans have been repsonible for the direct death of millions. Just saying
Black power dont seem to help us wit crime
Fatherless, single mother activities
Bravo to the old criminal get in the streets and want to change things and Bravo to the police take the risk in the streets.
You need to go in the prison and show to the mans are ther to to deferent
Wiche you all the best
This is a shame for America!!
Most American's would have the common sense to GET THE HELL out of there. What about your country!? Where are YOU from!?
Who bringN the guns in the community!! They need to get to root of problems!!
So much love to these mummas ❤️🩹 pointlessness, humans need to step up 🫶🏾 remove guns, because humans can't control themselves🙏🏾
I m so sad about what is happening in the West. I m from a very average country in SEA n V have a good safe lives. Take care pls Lisa..
The only way violence and all the other misery in this world is Jehovah's kingdom
That made no sense whatsoever
Those arnt men
Where are the fathers ? Looks your judgement of men is horrible
Agree. These aren’t men, these are boys. THEY NEED MEN OF HONOR AND INTEGRITY TO LEAD THEM
@@shawnhigginshiggins5457you don’t need the presents of a father to be a man. Plenty of strong women have raised some great men that have made better choices in their lives.
That's true but having a father doesn't hurt
@@shawnhigginshiggins5457 it can depending on the type of man the father is.
Yoooo i know Terry! I used to grab off of him and the boys back in the day! He was always a good guy but dont mess wt him... Glad to see hes doing good and making a difference!
