I once got away with cheating. During my engineering exam, I accidentally got the test with the answers on it. Thankfully, we were supposed to answer on a separate sheet of paper, so I copied them, made sure to get a few of the complicated questions partially wrong, and hid the answer sheet in my backpack. After the test, the teacher asked me to come to the front of the class. Thankfully, it was just to announce that I had gotten the highest grade. That moment scared me so much that I never even thought of cheating again
I remember when I missed a French / German (can't remember) speaking exam... The teacher gave me the answers sheet (we got a help sheet to use as it was a pop up exam) She thanked me for being honest when I gave it back I knew knew she'd notice if it were missing
I think there's a little misunderstanding from laypeople here about why the ASPCA would remove a dog from an unfit home but CPS would not remove children from that same home. It's not because a dog deserves better than a human child or whatever or that the ASPCA has different standards for what a fit environment for humane living is or whatever. It's literally because you can usually remove a dog from a poor environment, place it into foster care or adopt it out, and have it fare better with very few ill effects. The dog is just happy to live in a clean environment with people who will keep things clean and feed and walk and play with and love it. The dog doesn't need specific people 99% of the time. So the ASPCA can just go "Yeah, this place is filthy, you're not doing well, we have grounds to remove this dog from your care. You do not have a legal right to this dog the same way you do a child, so we can just seize this animal because it's considered property in most cases and we're just repossessing it." Which is a messed up way to think about a dog but at least it benefits the animal. Kids are different. Especially with young kids, they very much do need and are emotionally attached to those primary caregivers, their parents, even if those parents are clearly doing a bad job. Parents have a legal right to their children and we have proof that removing children from the care of their parents inevitably has some bad outcomes because it's a traumatic experience even if everything goes well afterward, and to top it off, things don't always go well afterward because the foster system in the USA at least is abysmal. "The best place for the child is in the home" or whatever is very much a mantra of CPS for a reason. Because sometimes, yes, you really are rescuing these kids from abuse and neglect. But sometimes the parents are just in a hard place and need a chance, and sometimes it's hard to prove, and sometimes you drag the child out of a bad situation, the parent wins back the rights to their child, and then you have to release that child to a worse situation because you were hasty. But for the most part, removing a child from the care of direct family is the last resort because, for better or worse, lots of children are attached to their caregivers and do demonstrably worse when removed from that caregiver, even if their primary caregiver is abusive or neglectful. I don't know the details of the case, and I presume if the environment was so bad as to be unfit for the dog that was making the mess, it would also be an unfit environment for the children. But the solution of "we're taking the dog, you and your children should clean this up, you all deserve to live in a healthy environment and this ain't it." is way easier, legally and physically, than wrenching children out of their home and making the parents fight a lengthy court battle to get them back. Still probably not the best way to do things. But, again. A dog can be rehomed with almost anyone and fare well. Children are not so simple. Children are people. The relationships they forge with others are a bit more complex than what a dog can manage. The really messed up bit is that if you're sloppy with your kid's emotional/psychological/mental health needs, even if the child is suffering, CPS will let that slide because "The family deserves the chance to work that out." But if the child's physical needs are not being met because the family is poor... then instead of providing enough welfare to take care of that child to the parents... they remove that child from their parents' care and give that child to a foster family... who then gets paid to take care of that child. Anyway, it's still awful, don't get me wrong. But it's not as clear-cut as "Wow, I wouldn't even let a dog live here. But screw those kids tho, let them live in squalor."
And when you do the math, that means she was about 14 when she had her son and given the fact that she was mentioned having a low IQ, makes me think someone took advantage of her s3xually, which is very heartbreaking to think about
I mean… it is only saying that the mom had her kid at 17-18 years old. Not super young mom, but definitely meaning she didn’t have much experience in life before kids
@@pacman10182 I am aware of the fact that the mom got pregnant at 14, which is what I was correcting them on however I was saying that their point that the mom didn’t get to experience much life before having kids was valid
Story 37: to answer the narrator, yes there is an issue with CPS. In 2017 I was physically assaulted by my mom when I was 1 month away from turning 18 for swearing at my brother because he was not leaving me alone during a time where they promised to have him leave me alone, lying saying he never bothered me once. CPS not only said my mom was guilty but didn't do the legal bare minimum of giving me resources and having us do therapy, but they also attempted to make a false record of me (about a week or 2 from 18 when they talked to me) saying I was also a violent liability and equally at fault. They were ready to ruin my, the victim's, chances of getting jobs and having kids that they and the hospital won't try and take away as an 18th birthday present because they wanted to claim that me insulting my brother one time with a non-violent insult, saying I was in the wrong for that, and apologizing for my language is just as bad as my mother leaving a brusie on my arm by digging her nails into me for literally saying the word "okay". It took a year of 2 of court where the only reason my mother was deemed "not guilty" was because it was obvious to the judge (no jury) that I would continued to be abused and I would be a victim of the state if he didn't do so and making sure I'm innocent was morally more important to him than making her guilty. CPS (at least local to me) are useless and victim blame. The only way I would have gotten justice if I ended up in the ER and even them they still would have victim blamed me and said I was at fault too.
CPS is a job/career that needs a balanced type of personalities in order to function effectively IMO. It is a soul killing job that doesn't pay enough to entice quality/quantity of people. It's a fixable problem but no one in positions of influence or authority care about it. I have had brief dealings with my local CPS office during a difficult time in my life. They helped me and were patient with me. I'm so sorry the system let you down.
There was a kid back in a 7th grade class at my school, made a lot of nazi jokes and even did Hitler’s salute, turns out his grandpa was a German soldier, so he thought it was okay to make Nazi jokes
I was the kid, with a speech delay issue and dyslexic but they didn't know that yet. The school wanted to give me a test to put me in the slower kids class, I don't remember what it was called. My parents told them no, and that I needed some one on one and tutoring. The school went behind their back and tested me anyway. I went home that day of the test confused about why I was singled out for this weird test. The test was also fun, so I wanted to tell my mom about the fun test with the shapes and mind puzzles. Mom put two and two together, as my older sibling had been tested for gifted and JUST barely missed the IQ score part and didn't get into the program. My mom called the school with my dad standing right there, the school was still open for many after school activities that school had. I heard mom but not what was being said, and she told them "it is illegal to give an IQ test to a child without the parents consent, (this is true) .. no I don't care if we told you it was ok for our oldest, we told you no on the youngest.. (long pause as the person on the phone hemmed and hawed).. So what is the score? ... (more silence).. WHAT IS THE SCORE? YOU LEGALLY HAVE TO GIVE ME IT (we learned all these rules when getting the oldest tested for gifted) ...ok well then you better test my child for dyslexia or other things because you guys get to eat crow, and if you don't find a way to teach my kid, I am going to sew you into the GROUND" Turns out my IQ is larger than my very smart (now a doctor) sibling, and that I just needed help with dyslexia and to get a speech tick handled. I had tutors and everything REALLY fast after that. And my sibling ended up resenting me and we no longer talk. I am a disabled mom artist nut now. My sibling is a doctor in another country, but whatever my sibling is an absolute nightmare of a person and better off without them. I miss you mom, you stood up for me when people thought I was dumb. I am just autistic lol.. and an artist.
Not after meeting the parents per se, but this year I noticed had a lot of students with disabilities and medical conditions, some of them won't even disclose it for some reason. Well, this year I had a student that seemed to have really low IQ, shockingly low, I would give him clear precise instructions and he would still not understand, so I eased up on him until he came to me with a slip to sign, the poor kid was dropped as a baby and has been having seizures ever since, his brain is technically fried, he tries his best but that's also his best, teachers develop a sixth sense wether they like it or not, I go in knowing I have to stay vigilant, and even though the most I can offer are words, all I can hope for is it helps someone through a dark time, or motivate them not to skip school...I consider myself as third parent to a lot of these kids, despite me not being that much older than them, I don't plan on doing this for the rest of my life, but I want it to count towards something for the meantime.
Story 8 happened to me. I'm not mentally handicapped, but I do have moderate autism which my parents fought hard to keep labeled as "high functioning". I'm pretty smart but I definitely have some exhaustive psychological and neurological issues from my parents coaching me on how to act "less disabled". They really wanted their child to not have "issues" (despite both being addicts when I was conceived. My mom quit when she found out she was pregnant, but I suspect the damage was already done). Anyway, this "this is how you behave like you're normal when you're really not handling things" attitude also applied to my father teaching me how not to act queer. I'm nearly 40 now and I still automatically decline help, even when I really need it. The first time I broke this pattern was 3 years ago when I came forward about getting raped by someone I was doing aide work for in my apartment building. I nearly lost my home for "starting" a ruckus in the community because my attacker successfully invoked the whole "trans people are perverts and thus can't be raped" defense and insisted that he's "only into women" and thus I must have lied. That man still regularly harasses me and I just don't do anything about it because I've learned that admitting you need help gets you punished. My wife is trying hard to dig me out of that attitude, but admitting I need anything is about as scary as death some days.
The explanation of grades at 24:00 is insane, Americas standards are too high, in Canada, 50% is good enough, 70% is really good, anything above that is brilliant
I am also Canadian and in school (obviously not specifying my age but high school) and here 80% is the standard or average for marks as far I understand like if your getting 80% your at grade level and anything above 80% is above and beyond,and it also depends on the grade, specifically people who run the education system in Ontario decided they wanted to make sure it had one of the highest graduation rates,and it does have an extremely high one,but that also means kids through elementary and intermediate grades cannot be failed and are more often then not pushed through to the next grade even if they don't understand the fundamentals they'll need all the way up to high school,when I was in grade 8 my teacher explained this to the class and how she literally could not input a mark lower then 50% into her computer when grading,and how this system is also responsible for why grade 8 students who go into grade 9 are so shocked by the transition into high school because then they can fail their classes and actually have to put in their best effort and if they didn't do anything or work at all in middle school grades then it's even worse. That's not to say everyone will struggle with this transition but it's still a big switch. Also,sorry this is long,I'm not disagreeing with you here the US has very high grading standards I just wanted to provide further with how Canada does also have fairly high grading standards but from grade 1 - grade 8 the expectation is so lax because the grades don't actually matter for graduation or failing because they literally aren't allowed to fail kids in those grades even if they don't do anything in class,I'm sure in some cases kids can be held back but even still this still happens. AGAIN this is not me trying to start an argument or anything this is just me adding info,I have gotten into way to many unintentional internet arguments by providing information.
Could you start putting the title of the video game for the background visuals in the description please? Some look so interesting, I'd like to give them a try.
RE: Child Protective Services (CPS) As far as respectability goes, it’s worse than the TSA but better than NAMBLA Guy I know was subjected to SA as a child. CPS refused to do anything with the “rationale” of no bruising or broken bones meant no abuse was happening. This was in spite of several markers being present like hyperactive “libido” Girl in junior high was groomed by the gym teacher. CPS called, noted they had heard about him and refused to do anything. Something about no one having the money to cover expenses
I was the kid. Dad was drunk and abusive and would frequently touch me, and as an only child I had no one to turn to, no siblings, and my mother was home 2 days of the week when she wasn’t “working” which was really just cheating on my dad. Teachers always thought I was a horrible person, because I made the mistake of taking all my anger out on other students who were weaker than me. I got a reality check when I failed all my classes because I never studied (my parents never bought me any of the required materials or a uniform for that matter) and my best friend, who knew about my home situation to some extent (she didn’t know about the abuse, only my dad drinking and my mom absent) told me “you’re gonna be just like your dad y’know if you don’t stop”. CPS took me away at 15 and I’ve been great ever since. Still dealing with depression and stuff though.
About CPS not always coming to take the child- here in Canada, they used to come and take the children more often than not, but they then later found that trying to keep the child at home, albeit with abuse, is the preferred option over pulling them out of the home and putting them into the system (same potential for abuse and trauma). Ideally, CPS should be intervening in order to give the parents support in the form of counselling and education. In a perfect world, a lot of money would be put into this process and it would be way more possible for negligent parents to improve their situation. Heck, in a perfect world, kids and teens would learn about psychology in school, and have free therapy on the regular as part of the schooling system. Imagine coming out of high school, having an understanding about yourself and your family, and what you can do moving forward to live a most mentally healthy life. Maybe one day…….
Im in my early 20s looking at possibly becoming a school teacher myself in Canada. I think about this all the time. Teaching a class about mental health and how to solve the problems that you may face would be amazing. I had such a difficult time in school with certain teachers and family and classmates I wish there could have been someone to go to. I want to be that kind of teacher for kids. Its the awkward ass time where grown adults treat you like your children yet you have to make adult decisions. There's more that can be done for students with behavioral or learning disabilities instead of just shrugging your shoulders and giving up. There's more that can be done to teach students about healthy relationships and mental health awareness. If the parents aren't doing, it someone should.
Maybe its different in the UK but my issues at school were completely ignored. Ok it was back in the 60's but even so. My parents were physically good and me and my siblings always looked neat and clean and well fed. But emotionally they were both completely messed up and had no empathy or emotional control. I learned to hide my true self as I learned early on it wasn't acceptable. I never had any friends at school and was very quiet. I spent much time 'daydreaming' and only learned years later it was actually disassociating. People asked me what I was daydreaming about and I was confused as it was just a grey place with fluffy clouds where I felt no pain and no emotions. My deep dark depression started around 6/7 and I always felt as though there was a huge weight on my shoulders. My mother just shouted more at me all the while frequently raging round the house shouting abuse. 2 of my sisters and I would end up waiting in the garden for my youngest sister to come home from school as she was the favourite and the only one who could calm my mother down. At 13 I was dropped from the top class into the one below. My maths teacher from the age of 13 would laugh giving me back my homework saying ungraded again. Not one person either parent or teacher ever picked up something was wrong or showed they cared in any way. Its has taken years and therapy to even have a life which was bearable. Depression has ravished my life and I get sad at how no one cared enough about me to try and help.
My brother is one grade below me and we are drastically different. Teachers always worked with him how they’d work with me and it was a disaster. I am autistic and have severe anxiety and OCD. My brother is annoyingly smart and confident and could breeze through school even if he was half asleep. My parents quickly got tired of the pattern because they kept having to intervene and my brother and I were confused as to why the teachers were so divided on us (in elementary school)
1:02:29 Yes, CPS is a huge problem. They don't have a lot of resources and most of their workers are burnt out or just never cared in the first place. A neighbor tried to get help for her grandkids that weren't being fed, only to be told by CPS that the freezer burned pot roast in the back of the freezer, literally the only food in the whole house, counted as food even though all of the children were too young to even reach the stove let alone know how to cook a roast. They were very skinny and clearly malnourished but a frozen hunk of raw meat out of their reach counted as food in the home. 😡I was left in an abusive household and told I just needed to respect my first stepdad more after he had another of his random bipolar fits and beat me and threatened to murder myself and siblings if we ever told anyone. I packed my shit the day I turned 18. My poor step niece and step nephew (stepmom's grandkids) are still with their alcoholic and drug addict dad, bouncing from roach infested hotel to the next, eating vending machine food when they actually get fed, smelling like dead animals and covered in lice. The niece actually had to have all her hair cut off because it was so matted from never washing and brushing it. CPS literally does NOTHING, and they are STILL with him. I still encourage people to make CPS reports because that's the proper channels, but they really don't help much. It has to be REALLY bad for them to actually do anything, I'm talking human trafficking and child predation levels of bad, and even that is iffy.
I watched a video by bloom. I think this entire channel is AI. At first I was suspicious it was just the voices. But now I’m wondering if it’s also the stories.
From what I’ve seen/heard, CPS tends to swing from one extreme to the other, depending on the area and (not trying to be offensive here) depending on the race/appearance of the kid. Adults…also have a terrible tendency to not believe kids or believe the kids are being overdramatic. I had an online friend in middle school. We talked a lot and she eventually told me about her dad. Showed me pictures. Being in middle school, I told her we’d get her away and safe. She got in contact with a counselor I think. I can’t remember all the details but I know I got pissed at my mom for something and was going to spend time with my friend. My mom came to the school, worried I was gonna get on a bus to go to my friend cus I wasn’t answering her calls (despite me answering her texts and also I didn’t even know how to get a bus or where my friend lived cus ya know my parents taught me internet safety and not give out addresses 🤦♀️). Lost a lot of faith in a lot of the adults in that school and a bit in my mom. They all kept telling me that “taking a kid from their parent is the last resort” or something along those lines. They couldn’t give me an answer when I asked why my friend should have to stay with someone who was hitting her or why the father was being given the benefit of the doubt but my friend wasn’t. I think she ended up away from her father but we lost contact. I still hope she’s safe and well and I hope every one of those adults who defended a man beating a kid have nightmares at night.
So for story 37 yes CPS isn’t good at solving family issues/abuse. If anything they make things worse like in my case. A: They told both myself and others who were there that they(CPS) don’t do certain things and that they just take kids and B: any time they came over to ether my school or home they’d tell my parents that they would be making a visit and in turn my parents would hide things and make it look like a fairly normal family then when they(CPS) left it would just go back to the unfortunately normal abuse but at a worse scale for a few days.
Interesting comment in 31 - you can tell a kids parents really quickly from a kid? I kind of agree, but I will say that in my case, the school kept going to my parents and assuming that there was some sort of unhealthy situation or they were teaching me weird stuff or something was going on that made me disturbed. But I wasn’t at all. I actually felt really safe and normal at home. It was taking me out of context and being in a school. (There also wasn’t anything really wrong with me, this was just in the 1980s when teachers had no clue about any sort of neurodivergent behavior or other psycho-behavioral stuff. They always seem to think I was acting out and I was not acting out.)
Child protective services are overworked and underpaid. They can only do so much with what they have. Some of these stories are a prime example of the cracks in the system. A lot of times, they are only able to do triage for these kids. And it's really sad that a lot of the parents for fostering these children are only doing it for the paychecks.
So, as someone with a passing understanding of IEPs, story 28 sounds fake. It is hard to get into those programs, as it requires a lot of interviews and one-on-one time to get an IEP. It's not just handed out.
Let’s see if we can get them to 200k by Christmas also can we get fun stores for then also story 1 I heard before here annddd yeahh her behavior manes complete sense
There was one small guy at our school who would follow me around because I didn't let the guys pick on him. I heard after I graduated that he self deleted.😢 Some people just do not have what it takes to make it at humaning, aka, living. 😢
I really appreciate your efforts! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

Not after meeting the parents per se, but this year I noticed had a lot of students with disabilities and medical conditions, some of them won't even disclose it for some reason.
Well, this year I had a student that seemed to have really low IQ, shockingly low, I would give him clear precise instructions and he would still not understand, so I eased up on him until he came to me with a slip to sign, the poor kid was dropped as a baby and has been having seizures ever since, his brain is technically fried, he tries his best but that's also his best, teachers develop a sixth sense wether they like it or not, I go in knowing I have to stay vigilant, and even though the most I can offer are words, all I can hope for is it helps someone through a dark time, or motivate them not to skip school...I consider myself as third parent to a lot of these kids, despite me not being that much older than them, I don't plan on doing this for the rest of my life, but I want it to count towards something for the meantime.
W teacher, keep going
The Kate and Edith bit was funny, but I feel like there are plenty of much less creepy ways to arrive at that punchline.
43:22 that's such a "turns around in black leather chair" moment
The Kate and Edith one caught me off guard
Story 8 happened to me. I'm not mentally handicapped, but I do have moderate autism which my parents fought hard to keep labeled as "high functioning". I'm pretty smart but I definitely have some exhaustive psychological and neurological issues from my parents coaching me on how to act "less disabled". They really wanted their child to not have "issues" (despite both being addicts when I was conceived. My mom quit when she found out she was pregnant, but I suspect the damage was already done).
Anyway, this "this is how you behave like you're normal when you're really not handling things" attitude also applied to my father teaching me how not to act queer.
I'm nearly 40 now and I still automatically decline help, even when I really need it. The first time I broke this pattern was 3 years ago when I came forward about getting raped by someone I was doing aide work for in my apartment building. I nearly lost my home for "starting" a ruckus in the community because my attacker successfully invoked the whole "trans people are perverts and thus can't be raped" defense and insisted that he's "only into women" and thus I must have lied. That man still regularly harasses me and I just don't do anything about it because I've learned that admitting you need help gets you punished.
My wife is trying hard to dig me out of that attitude, but admitting I need anything is about as scary as death some days.
The explanation of grades at 24:00 is insane, Americas standards are too high, in Canada, 50% is good enough, 70% is really good, anything above that is brilliant
I am also Canadian and in school (obviously not specifying my age but high school) and here 80% is the standard or average for marks as far I understand like if your getting 80% your at grade level and anything above 80% is above and beyond,and it also depends on the grade, specifically people who run the education system in Ontario decided they wanted to make sure it had one of the highest graduation rates,and it does have an extremely high one,but that also means kids through elementary and intermediate grades cannot be failed and are more often then not pushed through to the next grade even if they don't understand the fundamentals they'll need all the way up to high school,when I was in grade 8 my teacher explained this to the class and how she literally could not input a mark lower then 50% into her computer when grading,and how this system is also responsible for why grade 8 students who go into grade 9 are so shocked by the transition into high school because then they can fail their classes and actually have to put in their best effort and if they didn't do anything or work at all in middle school grades then it's even worse. That's not to say everyone will struggle with this transition but it's still a big switch. Also,sorry this is long,I'm not disagreeing with you here the US has very high grading standards I just wanted to provide further with how Canada does also have fairly high grading standards but from grade 1 - grade 8 the expectation is so lax because the grades don't actually matter for graduation or failing because they literally aren't allowed to fail kids in those grades even if they don't do anything in class,I'm sure in some cases kids can be held back but even still this still happens. AGAIN this is not me trying to start an argument or anything this is just me adding info,I have gotten into way to many unintentional internet arguments by providing information.
American education is awful. Kids need to have met a threshold to move forward.
Could you start putting the title of the video game for the background visuals in the description please? Some look so interesting, I'd like to give them a try.

RE: Child Protective Services (CPS)
As far as respectability goes, it’s worse than the TSA but better than NAMBLA
Guy I know was subjected to SA as a child. CPS refused to do anything with the “rationale” of no bruising or broken bones meant no abuse was happening. This was in spite of several markers being present like hyperactive “libido”
Girl in junior high was groomed by the gym teacher. CPS called, noted they had heard about him and refused to do anything. Something about no one having the money to cover expenses
I was the kid. Dad was drunk and abusive and would frequently touch me, and as an only child I had no one to turn to, no siblings, and my mother was home 2 days of the week when she wasn’t “working” which was really just cheating on my dad. Teachers always thought I was a horrible person, because I made the mistake of taking all my anger out on other students who were weaker than me. I got a reality check when I failed all my classes because I never studied (my parents never bought me any of the required materials or a uniform for that matter) and my best friend, who knew about my home situation to some extent (she didn’t know about the abuse, only my dad drinking and my mom absent) told me “you’re gonna be just like your dad y’know if you don’t stop”. CPS took me away at 15 and I’ve been great ever since. Still dealing with depression and stuff though.
After listening to these stories, I'm inclined to start a cult!
About CPS not always coming to take the child- here in Canada, they used to come and take the children more often than not, but they then later found that trying to keep the child at home, albeit with abuse, is the preferred option over pulling them out of the home and putting them into the system (same potential for abuse and trauma).
Ideally, CPS should be intervening in order to give the parents support in the form of counselling and education. In a perfect world, a lot of money would be put into this process and it would be way more possible for negligent parents to improve their situation.
Heck, in a perfect world, kids and teens would learn about psychology in school, and have free therapy on the regular as part of the schooling system. Imagine coming out of high school, having an understanding about yourself and your family, and what you can do moving forward to live a most mentally healthy life.
Maybe one day…….
Im in my early 20s looking at possibly becoming a school teacher myself in Canada. I think about this all the time. Teaching a class about mental health and how to solve the problems that you may face would be amazing. I had such a difficult time in school with certain teachers and family and classmates I wish there could have been someone to go to. I want to be that kind of teacher for kids. Its the awkward ass time where grown adults treat you like your children yet you have to make adult decisions. There's more that can be done for students with behavioral or learning disabilities instead of just shrugging your shoulders and giving up. There's more that can be done to teach students about healthy relationships and mental health awareness. If the parents aren't doing, it someone should.
@@arualet man we need that class
Maybe its different in the UK but my issues at school were completely ignored. Ok it was back in the 60's but even so. My parents were physically good and me and my siblings always looked neat and clean and well fed. But emotionally they were both completely messed up and had no empathy or emotional control. I learned to hide my true self as I learned early on it wasn't acceptable. I never had any friends at school and was very quiet. I spent much time 'daydreaming' and only learned years later it was actually disassociating. People asked me what I was daydreaming about and I was confused as it was just a grey place with fluffy clouds where I felt no pain and no emotions. My deep dark depression started around 6/7 and I always felt as though there was a huge weight on my shoulders. My mother just shouted more at me all the while frequently raging round the house shouting abuse. 2 of my sisters and I would end up waiting in the garden for my youngest sister to come home from school as she was the favourite and the only one who could calm my mother down. At 13 I was dropped from the top class into the one below. My maths teacher from the age of 13 would laugh giving me back my homework saying ungraded again. Not one person either parent or teacher ever picked up something was wrong or showed they cared in any way. Its has taken years and therapy to even have a life which was bearable. Depression has ravished my life and I get sad at how no one cared enough about me to try and help.
So many sad stories. Parenting is the most important job in the world yet you don’t have to be remotely capable of doing it
My brother is one grade below me and we are drastically different. Teachers always worked with him how they’d work with me and it was a disaster. I am autistic and have severe anxiety and OCD. My brother is annoyingly smart and confident and could breeze through school even if he was half asleep. My parents quickly got tired of the pattern because they kept having to intervene and my brother and I were confused as to why the teachers were so divided on us (in elementary school)
I successfully cheated by putting stuff on my calculatrice. A classic, may I say.
Saw that "have your cake and eat it too" joke coming a mile away. XD
1:02:29 Yes, CPS is a huge problem. They don't have a lot of resources and most of their workers are burnt out or just never cared in the first place. A neighbor tried to get help for her grandkids that weren't being fed, only to be told by CPS that the freezer burned pot roast in the back of the freezer, literally the only food in the whole house, counted as food even though all of the children were too young to even reach the stove let alone know how to cook a roast. They were very skinny and clearly malnourished but a frozen hunk of raw meat out of their reach counted as food in the home. 😡I was left in an abusive household and told I just needed to respect my first stepdad more after he had another of his random bipolar fits and beat me and threatened to murder myself and siblings if we ever told anyone. I packed my shit the day I turned 18. My poor step niece and step nephew (stepmom's grandkids) are still with their alcoholic and drug addict dad, bouncing from roach infested hotel to the next, eating vending machine food when they actually get fed, smelling like dead animals and covered in lice. The niece actually had to have all her hair cut off because it was so matted from never washing and brushing it. CPS literally does NOTHING, and they are STILL with him. I still encourage people to make CPS reports because that's the proper channels, but they really don't help much. It has to be REALLY bad for them to actually do anything, I'm talking human trafficking and child predation levels of bad, and even that is iffy.
Bro what happened with your voices???
Maybe its just a new person
@Kai-i2e2m yeah you're right
Its another person
@@Kai-i2e2mThis guy isn’t new - this is narrator #2, the ”original” green face.
I watched a video by bloom. I think this entire channel is AI. At first I was suspicious it was just the voices. But now I’m wondering if it’s also the stories.
15:22
Last minute plot twist caught me off-guard.
Bro some of these parents 💀
From what I’ve seen/heard, CPS tends to swing from one extreme to the other, depending on the area and (not trying to be offensive here) depending on the race/appearance of the kid. Adults…also have a terrible tendency to not believe kids or believe the kids are being overdramatic. I had an online friend in middle school. We talked a lot and she eventually told me about her dad. Showed me pictures. Being in middle school, I told her we’d get her away and safe. She got in contact with a counselor I think. I can’t remember all the details but I know I got pissed at my mom for something and was going to spend time with my friend. My mom came to the school, worried I was gonna get on a bus to go to my friend cus I wasn’t answering her calls (despite me answering her texts and also I didn’t even know how to get a bus or where my friend lived cus ya know my parents taught me internet safety and not give out addresses 🤦♀️). Lost a lot of faith in a lot of the adults in that school and a bit in my mom. They all kept telling me that “taking a kid from their parent is the last resort” or something along those lines. They couldn’t give me an answer when I asked why my friend should have to stay with someone who was hitting her or why the father was being given the benefit of the doubt but my friend wasn’t. I think she ended up away from her father but we lost contact. I still hope she’s safe and well and I hope every one of those adults who defended a man beating a kid have nightmares at night.
Love ur channel man, keep going
So for story 37 yes CPS isn’t good at solving family issues/abuse. If anything they make things worse like in my case. A: They told both myself and others who were there that they(CPS) don’t do certain things and that they just take kids and B: any time they came over to ether my school or home they’d tell my parents that they would be making a visit and in turn my parents would hide things and make it look like a fairly normal family then when they(CPS) left it would just go back to the unfortunately normal abuse but at a worse scale for a few days.
Bro. That Chinese kid was either the son of a diplomat or a spy. Theres no other explanation.
Love your videos!
Interesting comment in 31 - you can tell a kids parents really quickly from a kid? I kind of agree, but I will say that in my case, the school kept going to my parents and assuming that there was some sort of unhealthy situation or they were teaching me weird stuff or something was going on that made me disturbed. But I wasn’t at all. I actually felt really safe and normal at home. It was taking me out of context and being in a school. (There also wasn’t anything really wrong with me, this was just in the 1980s when teachers had no clue about any sort of neurodivergent behavior or other psycho-behavioral stuff. They always seem to think I was acting out and I was not acting out.)
21 broke my heart. All of these are terrible but that one really hurt
If kidz is week know cents in helpin dem?
Parody. It's difficult feigning being stupid.
AI can't spell! A TENSION, instead of ATTENTION!
It’s ok, there there keep pushing
I was like dang wheres all the likes and commemts. 4 minutes ago..wow
Goodnight guys😴😴😴
51:45 I wish this guy went into detail about how his wife accomplished that.
Child protective services are overworked and underpaid. They can only do so much with what they have.
Some of these stories are a prime example of the cracks in the system.
A lot of times, they are only able to do triage for these kids.
And it's really sad that a lot of the parents for fostering these children are only doing it for the paychecks.
What video game is playing in the background? I’m curious
Does anyone know the game in the background? I like the overgrown car, town, and highway environment
Ima sound rly weird but anyway WHY IS THE NARRATORS VOICE SO HOTTTT 😫😫😫😫
Everything!
So, as someone with a passing understanding of IEPs, story 28 sounds fake. It is hard to get into those programs, as it requires a lot of interviews and one-on-one time to get an IEP. It's not just handed out.
Let’s see if we can get them to 200k by Christmas also can we get fun stores for then also story 1 I heard before here annddd yeahh her behavior manes complete sense

Hi
The story about the two girls sounds like cringy harem fanfic written by an incel
What happened to your voice
Sounds like Mr Small from gumball
Another guy.
There was one small guy at our school who would follow me around because I didn't let the guys pick on him. I heard after I graduated that he self deleted.😢 Some people just do not have what it takes to make it at humaning, aka, living. 😢
I really appreciate your efforts! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
