Just ten years ago she was 6. Still can't get over the fact she's only 16. That's crazy. She's lived a million lives already.
I think its the total opposite. She hasn't lived life at all or had any good role models or examples in it to have taught her anything different than what she is doing now. Listen to how she talks about her mom and then herself. Shes doing the same things
Incredibly sad to think about
Scenes That Make Me Laugh and she had a child, really sad
This is non-western culture - wake up
Navyav8r 65 I agree with you
she has potential. she WILL do better.
Edit 8/28/2024: I have known for a couple months now and have just been informed again that Kristina did pass away. RIP to this beautiful soul..she can’t be hurt anymore
She ABSOLUTELY WILL! SHE HAS INCREDIBLE STRENGTH AND WILL!
Amen. God willing in the name of Jesus.
Amen absolutely
@Sara faith is hope. She will do better. U can be a realist without being negative 💕
Agreed. I see her in 10 years being in such a better place, she’s too wise not to turn this around.
Mark please tell her about job corps. It’s a govt program that’s saved my life. They provide food, shelter, a high school education, vocational training and helped create a pathway to college. They will take people from age 16-24. I found them on the pennysaver when I was 17. They bought me a greyhound ticket from LA to San Bernardino and getting on that bus forever changed my life. Please please tell her about this program it really works.
Wow, hope Mark interviews you as an example of a way out
I am SO happy to hear you had a way out! Thanks for sharing.
I went to job corps too, I loved it. Im not sure if u can get in w a record tho
Way to go 🤙🏽
I went to job Corp it changed my world!
She’s very self-aware. She hasn’t surrendered to her circumstance. She’s a fighter.
Amy Baigorria-Rembold the best comment and yes, she is a fighter!
I love that about her
Agreed. She's got a lot of beautiful _machisma_ to her and that has in part allowed her to survive, perhaps.
It's a lovely, lovely thing to behold. Yet she's also a child. She's a fucking _kid_ . The strength she has covers well the yearning for love and boundaries and stability and safety I think she feels. But it doesn't cover it wholly, does it? Your comments are spot on and she's one of the most self-aware people I've seen on SWU.
And that _laugh_ ? It's like Christmas.
The way she talks about her baby daughter, the genuine look of happiness and purity in her eyes is so beautiful, yet so heartbreaking. I’m really cheering for you young lady.
Mystic you said it right. How are you doing?
💕
@@EmpressofChrist How are you doing today young lady?
I have hope for Kristina. She is such an interesting person.
No reply yet?
She doesn’t even realize it but she’s been her own therapist and is out here spitting wisdom and real advice. Acknowledging her mom has made her own choices, that life is what you make it, and that her life is more than this. I wish her nothing but the best - this girl has a bigger purpose in life and God will make sure she gets there to deliver that purpose.
8th grade education but talks like she's been to college. This girl WILL be someone.
I agree. Very perceptive, insightgul, intelligent.
@@rainb6612 lol. You are doing WAY too much. I see potential in everyone. Or do you know me personally to know that I just walk passed everyone you say I do?
tbh I hate comments like this... It feels more like you just want some cheap likes on the web while giving off a false illusion because she can string sentences and talk coherently enough, to label "there going places".. Being able to interact and express yourself does not mean shit in this world, especially for people like her. Or did you miss the part where she says that normal people see her and judge? Because that line alone has 100% more truth than your bullshit comment. I know numerous of White, Asian and Black etc people with college backgrounds who still can't get the life that they're striving for after years of putting in work at school internships and such... I know numerous people who have legit talent in sports who will still not go anywhere... I have seen so many smart and talented homeless people who can do the Michael Jackson moonwalk and while singing like a top 5 artist in the street corners, and they still end up going nowhere. There's a little thing called STATISTICS!!! Background checks, race, social class, education and numerous of other shit has a role in it... But you think a abandoned MS-13 affiliated who sadly probably has a record is going to make it? This isn't the deep south, people from Cali aren't idiot's.. All you can do is pray, pray and pray some more for her on a nightly basis.. A turn around life for her is getting a 9-5 job, finding a true love who can help split the rent and go from there, it's America, that lifestyle is more easily attainable and realistic for this girl... Right now, fast food joints will call her way after the hs graduates and the people who at least have GED (assuming she doesn't go back to finish school). Don't use this video to try and build up a candy land type of fantasy for some TH-cam "good feel" likes. It's corny and I'm tired of seeing you people type out the same fake blah blah "they will be fine" type of remarks..
@@americangangsterlock1550 lol
Phahhahahaj
This should be a Netflix show. With programs for sobriety/re enrollment for schooling etc. for anyone who interviews. (Within reason) shes to scared to ask you for help. She is so intelligent and has so much she wishes for. Just think back when you were 16 and wanted to ask something but didn’t have the guts for it. I hope she gets the help she deserves. She’s had no guidance in her life and she has no idea where to start.
Samantha Gutierrez exactly. She is so young yet already too proud to ask for the help and guidance that she needs. My heart aches for her. Especially now knowing she encounters her crack head mother out there. This poor child.
rain b lol yes...to generate revenue for the programs.
That’s a good idea . Give this program more widespread exposure .
I wrote to Mark & suggested having a peer resource support specialist on site but he has never answered me. We make things happen! I have literally helped over 100 people access treatment, housing, health insurance, cell phones, therapy, etc, etc. And I'm not special, this is what we are trained to do. I wish Mark would see the opportunity in offering this.
3rd interview is definitely needed! I have so much faith in this child she’s gonna be ok and will make it out of the gutter. She’s so strong
Sixteen. She's sixteen. This system is broken. And no one talks about it.
A lot of people do talk about it. But when people try to talk about the system being they generally get shunned by media, news etc because the world is run by psychopaths and believe or not the police even protect these psychopaths so that’s just 1 reason why it’s broken along with many other reasons. The system is broken yes and absolutely disgusting what happens behind closed door you can’t even rely on anything like the police for example.. you really need to save yourself in this age. God bless you and may peace follow you always 💚
The rich have destroyed our society. When a social system breaks down it's almost always because a rich person in a position of leadership made that decision to defund it. Pollution, wage stagnation, climate change, you can fill in the rest.
@@damienholland8103 The rich have not "destroyed our society", the rich are indifferent. The rich are not actively going out trying to make peoples lives miserable and some of the rich donate to different charities that help with various causes as well as the majority of taxes come from the rich that help fund the social programs.
Democrats are more to blame then "the rich". It's democrat policies that create poverty and destruction of family which leads to these situations.
Democrat policies destroy the family unit, ridicule the church (which could be used for support and teaching of morality), and create a dependence mentality.
You could write a hit song tomorrow and become "the rich" and if that happened it would be ridiculous for me to think that you contributed to the "destruction of society".
System? He just did a video of her mother, watch that before you place blame on society.
we are all talking about it
When your own Mother gives up on you..it's hard to fight for yourself.
Lava Girl so true!!!
Been there
Fact
Her mother should be horsewhipped.
I’m sure her mamma had a terrible mother too, but sometimes people have good parents and go bad. 😟
I just want her to be okay 🙏🏾❤️ I want to help.
I have a sister in law who i use to feel like she wasnt all their in her mind and i never knew her lyfestory until recently and boy has has she suffered and her mom failed her but she is doing better now that she is with my bro although he does kind of criticize her i pray my bro will realize what she has been through and stop bc she seems to have low self esteem and she is weak minded at times but ik God will make her stronger in the end .
When she laughs, it shows how she's a kid still. I hope she's okay.
Often someone's mentality or way of presenting stops progressing at the point when the biggest trauma or drug use hits.
She kills me. She is so wise, funny, and intelligent. She really knows how to listen and think thoughtfully before answering. I want more for her. Her smile is stunning. I sound like such a groupie but there is something special about Kristina and I really hope she makes it out. She deserves more!
Kristina is a phenomenal speaker and mature well beyond her years, she’s truly amazing
I agree that she’s an amazing speaker, but the fact that she’s had to mature beyond her years is sad. Drugs, abuse, prostitution, homelessness, gang banging, etc. are things that no one (especially a child) should ever go through, yet she’s already experienced it all at some point within her 16 years of life. I wish her all the best.
Can we have a Kristina update? Her story sticks with me and I hope so much that she is able to get the help and opportunities she deserves 💖
Poor kid😥I hope she gets the proper help she needs
I want an update too!
This is the update 🤔..I just got through watching the first one ..🤔🤔
This follow-up was posted a year+ ago. An update would be so appreciated.
I hope she’s found safety and love, stability for her young life.
Yeah, I'd also like to know how she is doing now.
I got my GED at a school call youth Corp they paid me $100 a week if we when on time and attended everyday. I hope she finds a program like that.
Sooooo how are u today ☺
TraRob-EastSide im going to start college for teaching in September :) had to save a bit of money to start.
Ausi Hipolito congrats ❤️❤️ this is amazing wow
@@prettystonedreviews u taken ur CBEST test yet?
Get into jobcorps. That will give you a trade to learn that you may be interested in, free housing, that program helped me get my diploma
This girl has so much potential...she just needs the resources....guidance....and help. Her mother and father failed her tremendously .
Ez
Her adopted family too
I love how Mark said, “you’re so cute” and she says, “I’m so cuddly” such a sweet innocent conversation despite the sad circumstances, they really made the best of the moment 😌
This young lady ought to consider writing, she is obviously very gifted.
I agree. I have years of college education and have only just been able to express myself the way she does. She seems wise beyond her years. I not even sure she is only 16 years old.
Yes, get a paper and pencil in her hand, and let her run with it. She definitely has that talent. She has heart.
I thought the same thing!! I pray she finds help and discovers her talents!!
Yes, she speaks with eloquence
Id greenlight a screen play
Where are Children’s services in America? I don’t understand how a child, a 16 year old girl, who has been through so much trauma is just left to try & muscle through and figure out life? Where is support for her Housing, her mental health, her education..? Kristina you are so intelligent & insightful. You have power and light within you, a beautiful soul. I pray there is support that can be put in place so Kristina isn’t made to feel responsible for what she has been through... What are the outreach support services out there?
She could get emancipated and then she’d be able to enroll herself in school and apply for other social services. Otherwise as a minor they’d want to just get her back into the system.
they're busy stealing kids from families over nothing
Just so people can see it ain't as easy as people think.mostly all the programs are about getting money.not giving help.for each person that fills a bed(if they are fortunate enough)they get money.its all about money.
the child services are shit everywhere. they do nothing here in the uk too
Bade Green America is a fucked up country for sure.
She is me at 17. Girl, you can do this ! I am now college educated, opened my own business. Just started a group to support my community. Its been a long journey. I can hear the fight in you ! Much love from Canada !I just watched her last video, what a difference to this one ! She has really evolved in a very short while.
Shes got fire in that soul !
Yes queen 🌹
Im happy to hear you made it out and are successful in life! 💜💖
This girl is far more wise at sixteen than a lot of adults I’ve met. I don’t get the sense that it’s a front either. I get the impression that she really does spend a great deal of time contemplating these rather deep and complex ideas and concepts. She’s a thinker, for sure. Good for you, sweetheart. Never stop thinking critically. Never stop learning. Don’t lose your curiosity. Always ask, “why?”. I hope that you find a way to turn your situation around for the better, and become the young woman you always dreamed of being, with the life you deserve to live. You have the power to do that, and anything else you wish to accomplish in this life. Don’t give up, and don’t ever accept “good enough”. We don’t settle for survival, we thrive. ♥️
In the first interview there was a comment from two other girls that said they went to school/camps with her and she’s 19or20.
jennifer samuel 🤔 she looks older than 16 could be the drugs or maybe she’s lying about her age.
She looks better than the last video but also looks more sad.
I thought she looked worse
True
@@edwarddamarto5794 that's really mean..and you're so wrong.
Could be shes dealing with her issues and isnt using substance to numb the pain.
Kristina is one of my favorite people you’ve encountered. I’d love an update on her.
So is mine
Kristina died. Fentanyl overdose…this according to Mark’s paid subscription channel
She died.
OD'ed. One source said it was with her mom. Not sure that the mom was present or that they OD'ed together & if mom is alive or died, too.
@@user-px9nx9pc7k Her mother died too. Uncertain of details. I just know she and her mother od'ed. So sad.
Out of all the people I’ve seen she’s the most honest one and the one I believe that wants to change and for her age shes more mature than anyone else I’ve seen on the channel and more motivated stay up girl ik we gon see you shine one day and move on with a better future I wish you the best
When I met her I hope this is all true cuz I haven’t been hearing any good abt her on the streets
Words aint Shit
Except she says she not addicted, she definitely addicted. It took her baby away, she's homeless on skid row. She needs to address that problem first before anything
Craig Fawcett that is very true
Mas Sdnomde yes words aint shit but also keeping the negative attitude with people that have a addiction problem won’t help anyone
I really like her. She’s got a good head on her shoulders, she’s more real and honest with her own damn self at 16 than many of these people at 30+...RUN GIRL, get out of there!
So for everyone out there who is wanting a follow up for Kristina sadly she did pass away on the 20th of June. She had a very bad infection in her blood she couldn't get rid of and after many months of fighting she was called home to rest. So please say a prayer for her ...she is missed dearly
Is this verified? That's such a shame. Poor young woman.
another commenter stated she was her mother and that she passed away.
She OD
Where is buried or what ? I knew her from school
It’s very easy to just say, “Get your GED and work in retail, etc.” But when you’ve been through the trauma and the upbringing that she has, that traps you in your mind. Her baseline normal is chaos, trauma. Put her in a “normal” environment, she will most likely not be able to handle it, what she needs first and foremost is love and human connection and understanding, she needs time to heal before she can integrate into society.
THIS! I'm still sorting through the TRAUMA and it's a B#$×%. It's a major fight with yourself to sort what "normal" is. What's normal to others still feels unsafe to you! Thank you for "getting it"
BeBuTeeFull I’m glad that you know that it’s totally fine. Honestly, one of the worst things you can do to someone in an already difficult situation, is make them feel bad about it. You need to know that it’s okay.
Also she lives in USA.
You have a criminal record you will never get a job with the way their system works. She needs A LOT of money to get a late age education. Mental healthcare facilities are far and few between and privatised, she has no chance with help there. Medication is exponentionally more expensive than the rest of the world, she will never have access to it.
USA is the least opportunistic nation, does not help the poor or disenfranchised. Capitalism has eaten away the admirable ideals of the USA and turned them to cancer.
Their people are beautiful, their country and system/govt is not. Money talks in USA more than anywhere else. You ain’t got it, your life is meaningless
From someone that actually left an abusive household, got my ged, and my first job was retail.. it would have been impossible if I didn’t have the people that took me in.
Retail is soul crushing too so. Life in general for blue collar folks is B.S.
she said someone told her “life is nothing but a fight against your own disbelief.” I like that.
Where is she now? I hope Kristina is ok ... Would love some update, pleeeeeease Mark! Really hope she's doing fine now. This interview breaked my heart. She’s so lovely and deserves the world.
She sadly passed away
Fentanyl overdose…this according to Mark’s paid subscription channel
@@MH-ds8cb do you happen to know if it said how Faith passed? I was rooting for these 2 young girls. So very sad.
@@hthrFeather she was killed, with three other people. Shooting I remember "Anna Marie Hester, 34, Darius Travon Canada, 31, and Martina Barraza, 33, all of Mojave, and California City resident Faith Leighanne Rose Asbury, 20, were killed Sunday evening, according to the Kern County coroner’s office."
@@mainguyenthanh9189?
She needs a true friend..
And men will use these poor souls.
😓
@Doven Ro Galus thank you for that..very true
sarah j. Girls and boys get raped it’s just boys being raped isn’t talked about as much. For you to judge someone you don’t means that your soul may not as clean as you think. None of ours are anyway
Oh god, chill out lady. You sound sexist.
It’s funny y’all say “ all men” like it’s a kick in crotch to guys, just remember that a sword is double edged. That’s why every time I hear things like this, it’s always aimed toward men, and never the other way around smh 🤦♂️
She IS amazing. She is thinking straight. She just needs 1 door open. 1 luck. 1 miracle. 💜🙏🙏🙏
Exactly just 1!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Will she take it? There are lots of programs available for minors on the street. I am sure he will lead her to those resources. She would be put in the foster care system and age out at 18. As a homeless teen there are grants available for college and free public high school.
@@riaavelar8491 i feel ( im not expert ) she in particular needs love. Not just a chance or a case #. She clearly has been able to make money somehow but money has not brought her the path she really needs. Foster care for these kids have failed them. The system has failed them so their trust is broken. She needs to trust first. I wish her luck. Lots of it. Xo
Her personality is infectious...such a beautiful soul.
KRISTINA YOU CAN DO IT you can do it you can do it. I was homeless for years I smoked meth, I smoked crack I sold all of that I would couch surf I would rob I would steal. I trapped myself all the way into my own apartment, I got off drugs I have a job. You can do it your smart and beautiful person
Proud of your accomplishments. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
❤️❤️❤️ You are amazing! Gave me chills to read your post. Congratulations! You are a beautiful soul who looked evil in the eyes and won! I’m so proud of you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💚💚💚 Proud of you. That’s hard and you made it. This comment made me so happy. These videos just shows you never know what someone else’s eyes have seen and the trauma each soul holds. Never judge. Be good to everyone, every soul is important. Always hold on to hope.
you are a true worrior well done.. I am so proud of you.. bless you 🤩👌🏼💪🏽🤲🏼💞
What Mark is doing here is probably one of the most important things a person has done for a long time
TRUTH
I cannot wait to hear about Kristina making it to that stable life she dreams of, then being a Ted Talk presenter. She has a way with words that inspires me (and I bet many others). Her telling her story will inspire people (other teens, children, adults) to be more compassionate to each other. I hope Kristina has been doing well since this was posted 💖
I WILL NEVER GET TIRED WATCHING CHRISTINA SHE IS SO REAL VERY NATURAL AND I CRIED TOO ACTUALLY HER LIFE IS SO SAD BUT SHE'S STILL SMILING I HOPE SHE WILL GET HELP GOD BLESS YOU CHRISTINA ❤
This child has an old soul she is very smart I pray she finds her way
Right there is nothing childish about this teenage girl but as you pointed out she still is a child legally
She’s actually 21
Amen 🙏
@@AestheticallyC howd u know
@@ye2855 Because people that went to high school with her said so and they all had the same stories ..
Kristina has a beautiful soul. Her girlish laughter makes me believe she’s hopeful and healing. I love her spirit!! I’m rooting for everything good for her!🎉💐❤️🙏🏾
She’s very mature for her age. when she said how old she was I was amazed
So true☺
42 ☺
Street life destroys people
A shame that she is, she’s only coming off as mature because she had to grow up very quickly
Maaan, 16, in this situation, living like this and STILL says "life is what you make it". She's SO interesting and aware it's crazy
She’s an Angel.
how can this girl be the youngest AND the most intelligent interviewee you've ever had?! I'm blown away. Every single thing that has come out of Kristina's mouth is so wise and philosophical, wow. Wonder how she's doing right now!
based on how most of his follow-ups are, probably not great. Hope she pulls it together, but it's like a 1% chance :/
Wow. She’s intelligent and polite. She has manners. She raised herself well. 💯
She’s one of my favorites. She’s honest & has intelligence. If you haven’t seen her last interview, I recommend it. I wish her the best! ❤️ You should see if she wants to do an interview with her mom.
Yes that would be very intriguing to see an interview with her and her mom
I agree! She’s been one of the most memorable ones for me.
Kennedy I re-watch her video too. She speaks so eloquently. I’m so glad to see Kristina is hopeful to make changes.
Horrible idea to call her mom 😒
Please do a follow up on her! Hoping she’s doing good now :(
Me too 😔
@@summyv7058she died
@@vatoloco6857RIP this young soul
Kristina deserves a different path. My daughter is only a little younger than her and couldn’t be in more of a different place. Just goes to show how much life is easier when you have love and support in it. X
Be careful what you say, bc life can change in a blink of an eye. Glad ur daughter is good and On the right path but remember kids are sneaky and only show u what they want u to seen,
I hear what your saying, but deserve has nothing to do with it. Life isn't fair. The world is filled with people who have had a terrible start and succeeded. I dont mean money but happiness and love
No need for comparison... your daughter couldn’t be “in more of a different place” good for her. Don’t compare your daughter to her. It’s not fair....
christopher st.marin @Christopher, first a small lesson: your use of the word “your” is all wrong. “Your” is used to show possession, “you’re is a contraction, meaning words put together like “you’re is short for “you are”So your sentence is saying “her saying” she doesn’t have any “saying”, that makes no sense.
Your - possession
You’re- you are
You’ve-you have
Her response to kindness is to shine. She’s lit up with life. I’m 100% on her side. Christina - you are awesome 👏 + she looks beautiful!
We need an update on this precious soul!! She just needs a chance, she is ready! 4 years on the streets, she needs patience, love and no judgment!! God bless you baby girl.
Did Krista ever get help off of the street? I know some people offered. And I have tried to find out. But I have not found out. I really would like to know. If anyone knows anything please let me know. Please
And today's date is July 8th, 2022. I hope and pray so. Please let me know. I don't have any other way to find out. Please. Thank you, Linda Maiden
???, I would like to know if there was any progress in Christina's situation. I got highlighted and liked just an hour ago. But I don't see any Information.
She passed away in June 2023 due to a blood infection from drug use. @lindamaiden1674
@@lindamaiden1674 Sadly she passed away.
Bless her heart. She’s laughing about it because that’s the only way she knows how to cope with her pain and disappointment. I thought I had it bad in my childhood. She is so Beautiful and Strong!!!💘
Her face cleared up aww she looks so much better I love this girl 🥺💗 the fact that she’s 16 like me breaks my heart
Her voice is everything❤️So smart, mature. She needs to be loved and given a chance. Her soul is pure.
She is a beautiful old soul who has nothing to be ashamed of. If anyone gives her a hard time for who she is its their problem, not hers.
How can her mother be so cruel to her own child. She’s literally a baby.
Lots of mothers are cruel to their daughters...they are even jealous of them.
The mother is addicted to crack.
Some people should not have kids
She's trouble. But some people should not have kids.
hurt ppl hurt ppl. I'm sure her Mom has a horrible pass too. no excuse but thats how some ppl are unfortunatley
We NEED an update on Kristina!!!!
YES
Agree!
If things turned up Good
Can you please keep that shot to yourself
@@luiscervantes1916please remove this! I’m her street mom and I really don’t appreciate you putting something that personal on here
I cant wait to see the video where she tells us all about life since she GOT OUT of skid row. She is so mature and intelligent. She is right, someone who's thinking about running away could benefit from hearing her video. She would be a great public speaker and motivator, shes so personable and down to earth. She will do great things, she just needs to break free
Her laugh & smile light up the room. She’s a beautiful girl, who has had it harder than 99% of us could ever imagine, & still has compassion in her heart & a good head on her shoulders. I admire her strength
hearing her say that someone is gonna think about this video years from now and remeber who she is. really upsetting to see that she is passed away now. I remebered her just yesterday and just finished watching this one
She should get her GED and then look into going to a trade school or community college. She could also look into fast food/retail jobs for right now because she’s still underaged and probably won’t find much. She can go from there and save as much as she can so she can just leave LA or California for good. I believe she’s ready for a change and if she can find some resources she can do it.
Easier said than done
Sarah Fishermans ... not really, just do what a councilor at the Rescue Mission tell ya to do!
Step one: clean up your vocabulary for goodness sake. You want “goodness” right. God doesn’t like FOUL LANGUAGE. He’s even said “it isn’t what goes into your body but rather what comes out your mouth that defiles you.
Icould barely get through the video without feeling I’ve been assaulted by her language.
Bing Marshall if the thing that bothered u most about the video is the language you’re watching the wrong channel bud. These people have more important things to worry about
Zhxra ! ... If she wants different, she cannot walk into “the real world” and speak like that. Not with an employer for sure, not with others that don’t speak like that, not around children, not in the grocery store nor a doctor’s office. It simply doesn’t work. She can hang with the “filthy mouth group”. But NEVER with people with bigger language skills. My opinion
@Lost... so you say “if she can find resources”. EXACTLY, she wants someone to do it for her, she wants MONEY above anything else. Well, it’s up to HER to go to the Rescue Mission and do as they tell her to do. She’s looking for an easier way. Sounds like she wants people to get her a place to live and MONEY. Girl, she’s looking for some FREEBIES.
Can we interview Bliss? This is the second time she has mentioned him, he sound like an angel.
That would be amazing
I really hope this girl makes it.
Please, another follow up of her🥺
Imagine how many intelligent, beautiful, wise, strong people like her are on the streets right now. All that potential...
Exactly. Thanks so much for your comment. 💞
The family who adopted her child should have adopted her, too.
Omg 🙌🏾
No be everybody get that kind money. Feeding extra mouths is stress
True
Yes.. that would have been really good..
I wish he would do another update on her
THIS ONE. This one deserves the 'Asriah package'! I feel like she's got a searching and determined soul of great substance. I feel she would take that love and weave an incredible life with it. Mark, I'd love an update when or if you can! Thank you!
#softwhiteunderbelly
THAT PART!!!!! I have that gut feeling of her taking full blown good advantage of that!! I pray it happens, she’s a child and is willing to hand write a school for her own future. She’s not confident in the school but she’s still willing to write to reach out to them and THAT IS APPLAUDED FOR HERE!!
FOREAL.
That money would’ve changed this child’s world.
Amen to this! This girl can still be helped!
He’s give her that package bc the other girl seems to be easily manipulated. Not to be a asshole but once get a face tattoo. You set yourself up to be profiled a certain way. Idc who says it or where. That’s a huge deal. The younger you are getting that the more of a risk.
Mark should really consider editing the gang stuff out of this interview. What she said is dangerous. That particular gang does not play.
Yeah that makes me nervous every time
Yep
For some reason im.not sure if she was really as involved with them as she claimed
3rd interview please!!!!!!
Kristina.
You're a kid.
You have a whole lifetime to live.
You have every reason to believe you can be successful. I can hear it in your voice and see it in your face.
God bless you.
Don't give up.
“ I wasn’t enough for you to do better “ . “They see something good and want to destroy it. Because misery loves company”. She’s so wise beyond her years and I feel she won’t be here long. I’m definitely donating for her. I love this girl ♥️ All she wanted was a mom and emotional support.
Something about her is so capturing. She has perseverance. You can see it in her eyes. Keep your forward thinking! Keep your goals in mind, you have a whole group of commenters wishing and rooting for you!
I taught high school English for a decade, and this is one of the most self-aware, intelligent teenagers I've ever seen/listened to. I think Kristina will "succeed," as she's too aware not to. In any case, I surely hope so. If you should read these comments, Kristina, know that thousands of people you don't know are rooting for you and wishing you well.
She passed away 😢
Kristina.. Idk if you'll ever see this.. But I pray for you. I TRULY hope you make it out! The look on your face while talking about your daughter.. Was so beautiful an heart breaking. I'm so proud of you, for wanting to be BETTER for your daughter! That alone, takes strength homie! Much love an respect for you KRISTINA!!! 💛
Kristinaaa, if you see this...:: Sending you strength and good vibes. You got this girl. You are smart AF and can accomplish anything you want!!!! We are waiting followup when you tell us you got a job and a place...its gonna happen girl!!!
i second that!!!!
💯
That's wassup
I was a 13 year old runaway for 5 years I understand her! God bless you! God bless everone!
I love the raspiness in her voice. Beautiful girl. 💜
She'd be a GREAT actress
Yes I love her voice
From drugs and smoking
@@stevesmom9868 not necessarily my voice is raspy as well some women just have raspy voices.
I agree, I see her as an actor or a rapper
i like her. smart, funny, straightforward. may God be with you, girl...….
She's amazing and she's going to make it.
He is you can see it in her eyes! God is gonna carry her through this! GOD KNOWS HER HEART IS PURE ❤❤🙏🙏
He’s already with her
She looks a lot better. She's planning her future, has friend to turn to. She's hopeful. Kristina is a survivor.
if only she actually survived :(
i really like her. she’s like my favorite person he’s interviewed i think
Out of all the interviews I've seen Kristina was the one that really touched me. Maybe because I went through the struggle myself and because now I am a mother and have a daughter about her age. She has a lot of potential, she is smart, and really wants to change she just needs the guidance to the right direction and she will make it. She's already been through a lot already she is young and has a whole life ahead of her she just needs the right guidance. I hope she gets the help she needs. I would like to help anyway I can. Thanks for the update.
If she is connected with the right people she can write a book or be a motivational speaker. I have a feeling we’re just seeing 10% of her abilities and this girl can change the world
How does the state allow children/minors to roam around? Blows my mind that she's just on her own. 😡
Right
It’s so heart breaking the system fails a lot of these kids.
How? This is how capitalism "works" and this country especially is not conducive to healthy children.
Yes its broken but then also how to you keep the children from running away? These kids don't want to be in these foster homes or in the system because they're getting abused. What else can the government do?
Her mother is on the streets too, he just did a video on "mom".
This girl has a really powerful presence. She should look into...acting, maybe?
I could see her acting for sure !
This young woman is wise beyond her years. I would not be surprised if she becomes an attorney, she is a gifted communicator. I wish her much success.
She's Back! Before seeing this video I was just thinking ,"I wonder how that Kristina girl is doing and if her life has turned around yet" and then a video was posted! Thanks for an update 💝 God bless her 🙏
Loved the way the conversation flowed between you two , forgot it was an interview . She’s such an endearing character . I think she could do really well , she has real strength of character and is very likeable .
I was surprised to hear that the interviewer didn't see her motivation in the first interview. I felt she was very worthy of help, and I'm so glad it has been offered. I did recognize that her mood was lower at the first meeting, but her heart showed through it...I wish her the very best.
You said exactly what I was thinking. It was hard to hear Mark tell this young person that basically being understandably angry and depressed is less appealing to those who get to decide if they help a vulnerable person or not. "Be happy and you'll deserve help" isn't any kind of message to send to anyone. I would be interested in knowing why this thought pattern keeps repeating amongst the better off/ the one with the greater advantages.
@alicia headrick I just got a notification that someone saw my simple post about Christiana. But It didn't give an update as I hope for.
If anyone knows anything please let me know. I posted my concerns on July 8th. I know it has been a long time for her. I would love to know if she made it out of there. And if that host did help her like he was telling her. Or if anyone else did because of all the other offers people were giving at that time. I don't feel too positive that they did. I wonder every day. And I would so appreciate it if someone knows and would let me know. And I would love to hear something positive. Thanks, Linda Maiden - Larkins
I want Mark to do an interview with her Mom. I want to hear her answers about why she abandoned her daughter. I wish this baby all the great things in the world. She deserves a fighting chance. ❤️
Did you not hear Kristina talking about her mom smoking crack on skid row etc? There's your answer.. Her mom most likely didn't have a much better upbringing .. and lets hope Kristina is going to break the cycle.. I can definitly see her doing just that.
Ikhebookdna I did. I’ve also worked with countless women who struggled with addiction and were dedicated to their kids. Yes, addiction can and does hurt you ability to be an effective parent, but it does not automatically mean this level of rejection and abandonment. So, yes, I am interested in hearing her story. I hope Kristina gets all of the supports she will need to thrive. It’s going to take lots of community supports including therapy.
@@hardworkingdiva I'm with ya..
What about the shit her mom endured? Have some compassion. You don't know her struggle.
I was also a mom at 16. Today she’s 27, a college graduate and so am I. Work hard and want more for yourself and anything is possible. Poverty is hard to escape but possible. Best wishes for a bright and successful future.
I also had leave home at 15. Was heavily drinking at 16. Depressed. Now 7 countries, 6 languages, 4 depressive cycles later I've found my place in this world. Influencer, role model, soul singer. Bless her, courage for you my dear! 🙏🏻🧡
Her mannerisms are of a 40 yr old woman. I can't believe she's only 16. These teenage stories are especially heartbreaking. If I want to see anybody succeed its her. She is smart as hell and so strong.
I'm so happy to see a follow up from her. ♥️ I said this on the last video and I'll say it again. She has so much potential and I'm really rooting for her. She's still a baby herself. 😞
I love the faith she had to send in a hand written letter to the school. Amazing. Honestly it shows me her inner deep desire for more, her determination came forth in those moments.
She Doesn’t Belong In The Streets . She’s A Very Smart Young Lady . She Can Do More . She Just Needs A Support System . I Hate Seeing Anyone In This Situation. No One Chooses Their Family . She Was Just Put Somewhere That She Couldn’t Change . She Deserves A lot More Then The Streets . Once She Gets The Help She Going To Make It . Keep Your Head Up Babygirl . Supporting You From Texas . Is There Anyway We Can Help Her !?
The way her mother responded when she reached out for help. 😭
This is heartbreaking.
MOTHER GOES TO LAKE OF FIRE. THIS GIRL GOES TO HEAVEN AND HEAVEN ON EARHT IS SOON PRAISE THE MOST HIGH GOD IN JESUS NAME
She will make an amazing councelors for young women in recovery. -- that’s what will keep her strong. God why can’t a rehab offer her a job now. 😭 real councillors have lived it. She is a diamond in the rough. Love her. 😘
There's so many children out there that just wants to be loved genuinely, comforted, to feel safe, wants to be wanted. My heart breaks for them.. The system needs major work.. I wish I could take these girls in
My daughter is 15.. I still try to hold her hand trying to cross the street.. This girl is ONLY 16!
I am 30 and my mum still holds my hand when we cross the street. This poor girl hasn't had unconditional love :( my heart breaks for her. I am a high school teacher in the UK and I teach students her age. 16 is a baby still.
I just recently turned 17, and I’m so thankful that I have such a wonderful mother that’s always been by my side. My teachers, for the most part, have been great as well. Parents and teachers are SO important
@@gabrielledennis549 yes sweetie.. yes they are! Listen to them!
Same! This young lady said she did meth at 12! 12!!! I have a 12 y/o and she still has stuffed animals on her bed and watches cartoons. I just can't imagine. This is so heartbreaking 💔😔
She has a dope soul and a dope outlook on life. Very wise beyond her years. Keep going baby girl!!!!
I like this girl and I am rooting for her. She has such a pure heart.
I loooove her , she’s got the right mentality to get out of the lifestyle she’s in . I see a great future for her if she’s guided with the right resources 😇😇😇 god bless her and her future 💓
She has potential. She looks good. We have to help her. I could see her counseling others. A very forward thinker.
Man, she looks better than before. I like that, maybe she can do more for herself in the future.
She really does 💝
I like her outfits here
@@aren1998 I want a pair of those pants 🙂
