Okay, so the one daughter who didn’t wanna talk during the private interview is very clearly upset, she’s obviously got a lot of resentment and such towards this situation so, Ya know, Zooming a Camera in on her is probably not a good isea
Although I agree, maybe it can serve as a wake up call for other Moms who are struggling with addiction. They are showing the true, raw emotion and trauma this mother has caused her family.
Im a single father as well and when i see another father being a man and taking care of his responsibilities it makes me very happy even though we (fathers) are forever being criticized for what other fathers arent doing. We are all judged as a whole and not individually and that truly sadens me.
lola yes i agree but also they get to visit their mom which is not alot and it's an interview which took up most of their time i bet so wasn't much of a visit with their mom really
And probably she has seen a lot since she is the oldest. The other siblings are very young and still mommy’s babies. But the older one has gone through everything. So sad. I hope she can process everything one day.. 😔
I'm in tears. When I was done with the video, I sat and thought.. what if my parents went to Jail for months...years...or for life? I wouldn't be the same. I'm just glad I have them today. For anyone who is suffering because their parent(s) is/are in Jail...stay strong. It'll be okay.
My mom was in jail for 2 years and she missed my 11th and 12th birthday and she needs ti gain my trust back and the first time she went ti jail i was told that she was going to the store but she actually went to jail then the second time i was with her in a really small truck with my 2 cousins cause they were staying the night and we were in the truck and passed a cop car amd he saw that we had to many kids in the truck so she went to jail for 2 years and my brithers dad was watching us for a while and then we went to gi stay with our grandma then we went to our aunts house and now we are with our nana and papaw. And shs is out of jsil but i dont know if i can trust her anymore cause she has broken promises to me and just kept doing bad things and she is trying her best ti stop and do better and i knkw she can but she has ti gain my trust back. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Im probably the most dependant person ever lol Im so lazy :/ I use my parents as servents really I mean I dont even dry my own hair or brush my own teeth or wash my own clothes and Ive never done chores except for cleaning spider webs lol I would be so dead
1 like= 1 hug to the kids These parents are missing graduations, birthdays, holidays. This is super hard on the kids. They know their parent did something bad and they also know that they probably won't see their parent for years. The parents are missing so much of the kids child hood that by the time they get out of prison or jail, there is only a little longer until the kids move out.
Yes these parents need another chance at life. Maybe to appreciate the things most mother's cannot. But................... Everyone has to remember they're are rules that have to be followed. I would have always appreciated the fact that most of the kids women give birth to are normal.
Their youngest daughter commented here and said the dad was acting… he didn’t give them a lot of food and he was mentally abusing them…. Find the comment on this video.

I have a friend that has a mom behind bars. She told me whenever she is on the phone with her it's hard not to cry. Her mom will be released in December 16th 2017. When she gets back my friend will be a couple months away from 13. If you still have your mom and dad be thankful. I'm thankful for mine.
@@isabellavalencia8026 no-one deserves to suffer domestic abuse, whether it is pyschological or physical.

Everyone has a right to defend themselves if being attacked.

Sweetheart, they will always need you because you've been such a loving mom to them.

I started crying (still am while writing this) when the little girl started crying because she didn't want to talk about how it is to hold their mother.
Addison Schwartz MORNING I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO COME AND GET ME AND DO YOU WANT ME TO COME AND PICK YOU GUYS UP AT FIVE AND COME TO MY HOUSE AND GO GET MY MOM AND GET MY STUFF READY FOR BED AND I LOVE YOU
The kid literally lived through it, I think at this point if she is gonna hear about it, it's best coming from the mother in the prison rather than some random conversation anywhere else.
Tinnys Town she was using self defense. She should not be in prison right now as her right as an American. Self defense is perfectly okay and who ever her lawyer was must've sucked!
That one mom stabbed her boyfriend who was trying to stab her that is self defense.How is she in prison,and having to serve 9 years missing out on her daughters childhood.#justice
Mercedes, (was her name?) is serving time in prison for self defense? That's messed up. Her boyfriend tried to kill her and she ended up defending herself by taking him out! And now she gets to miss half of her child's childhood life all because of self defense? A person should be able to defend their self without fear of prison! She should not be in prison for using self defense! Whoever her lawyer was was probably a terrible one because she should not be in prison!
Skylar Jade I know you write this a year ago and you probably don’t give a shit but you’re so right she shouldn’t have to miss her child’s life that makes me want to cry. I wonder if he would’ve gone to jail if she hadn’t killed him edit: I will start a fucking Campaign for her she deserves it she should be able to see her child grow into a beautiful young woman or who ever the hell she wants to be
That women who stabbed the father of the little girl if she was doing self defense why would she get 9 years in jail ! She was watching out for her self . That isn't right :(
I’m so proud for all these girls but especially katelyn for running up there smiling and hugging her mother she smiled and even though it was hard for her to talk she still showed courage to the camera. I’m so proud of all these beautiful girls
This video made me cry because it made me think of my amazing dad he hasn't gone to prison he has gone to heaven 6 years ago I miss him for every step I walk
Forever23 Rooker I’m sorry to hear that, I’m sure he misses you and loves you even after all this time, I send my prayers to you and all the people who have lost someone special.
Zara Mango it’s not that they dont take care their kid they just made mistakes but they should be forgiven no matter what they should still get to see their kid take my dad for example he tried to burn my grandparents house down because he was taking his bi polar medication with alcohol and that makes people act not them selves he made a mistake he still has the right to take care of me and see me no matter what so I don’t do terrible things when I’m an adult I can make choices of my own and if I do have to take medication (which may happen) I don’t drink alcohol I don’t feel in loved my whole life feeling like something is missing my dad deserves to see me and I deserve to see him it’s important for me
@@snoxh2187 If she only got 9 years for second degree murder, then there were obviously mitigating factors taken into account, like domestic violence. It's men who lie about self-defense to get away with harming their female partners, not women.
Of corse I don’t know the case but I was in a program with a lot of kids with parents in group homes from similar scenarios and it was explained to me if there was a single second where you can get away it’s not self defense anymore… it kinda sucks because I know I wouldn’t want to chance it
Exactly. I watched another jail documentary and a woman was being released and she said “I’ve met a lot of really good people who just made bad decisions” which couldn’t be any more true.
I feel like that one woman who stabbed her boyfriend did not deserve to be in jail. She is not a cold blooded killer. It was self defence. Idk. I felt sorry for her and her child. :( :( And all the other parents and kids :( :(
No your all wrong he’s a terrible man he hid food he gave us hardly any food and mentally abused us and stuff but we live with our mom now but I’m Kelsie the youngest from that video
Yes, I am a great, great aunt helping to raise my 4 yr old nephew along with my sister his great Grandmother. His parents don't know what to do with him or what to say when I tell them I just go out and play with him. They are missing out on a wonderful, beautiful and imaginative child but I'm not even thou both knees are bad and I use a walking stick I don't want to miss a moment of him just being a child
My parents are in jail for drug dealing but I find that my only friend at schools mum is like the best person she will give me food and really helps me through the tough time when my biological parents aren't around ☺️😌
LXJ my parents get out in 2021 in March I week before my birthday!! Although I just got informed that my parents were to dangerous to live with so hopefully I get adopted!!
Your right, but this is 1x that those Cameras are on them, so that other mothers think twice before ending up like these mothers. It's a very sad situation.
He’s a bad dad he gave us barely any food and he locked up snacks we now live with my mom 10 hour away from my dad I’m Kelsie the youngest from that now
I have 4 daughters and know how Ruby felt. My oldest is almost 18 and my youngest is 10. When they were younger, I struggled. The days were very long and seemed endless. Stay strong Ruby. You got caught up with a few bad choices but you can grow from it. You can recover from this and be an amazing example. Tears poured out watching you rejoice with your babies.
This video made me cry for real, it really touched me. When I was 4 years old my mom went to prison for 6 years, I only saw her once in those 6 years, but, I am 12, and almost 13 now , and I believe that everyone should be given a second chance, if they screw that up, then, oh well, but, my mom doing way better, and I get to see her more than I did. During the time that she was away, and still I had/have a wonderful family that raised me, and we all helped each other. If you have a parent in prison, just know, that things will get better. This quote by Ed Sheeran is one of my favorites "Everything will be okay in the end, if it is not okay, it is not the end" If you read this far, I hope you have an amazing rest of your day!
Lord have mercy. I'm 66 years old and my mom has been dead over 20 years and I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face for these children. I can't imagine being separated from my mother at that age. We are so connected to our mothers from the womb to the tomb, the thought takes my breath away. God help them all.
When the little girl couldnt even talk just hit me right in the feels....got a grown man crying. I have a 6yr old daughter that i am raising by myself and i grew up with foster parents. I know exactly how that little girl feels.
All these women seem like such kind and warm people. It’s hard to believe they’ve all done something that made them have to live behind bars. Our actions don’t always define us. Everyone makes mistakes❤️
This had me in tears. I just turned and saw my daughter and gave her a big hug and kiss. Sometimes we take the little simple things in life for granted until we don't have them. I wish these ladies can get a second chance at life SOON and be with their loved ones. 🙏🏻💕
*happy fathers day to the amazing dads out there. i never had a father figure in my life, mine was too hungover to even play with me and my sister. but it always warms my heart when i see fathers take care of their children.*
Absolutely heartbreaking watching that young woman cry. I can't imagine what these children go through. Hopefully programs like this will help remind the women what is waiting for them at home and keeps them on track to get out, and do what it takes to stay out.
Much respect to the first dad❤️❤️❤️ 90% of men would have picked up and left kids to the foster system. It's hard to raise a kid alone, much less four, much less all girls, much less when you are a father. Having to deal with female puberty when you are a man is hard. Especially when you don't know what to say when you haven't been through it yourself. Amazing that some men actually step up and take responsibility.
When I seen the oldest daughter cry I felt that and I started to cry because I've been through a similar situation that same year for 3 years. It's hard going through all that pain and trauma being without your mother, not being able to feel safe and normal, but now since that part of my life is over I feel so free and happy.
this made me so emotional, i can’t imagine what any of those children are going through. it must be so difficult being one of those daughters and not being able to see your mom everyday or not being able to go home to see your mom after school. they’re so strong! but that dad is incredible, working 2 jobs to support his daughters and keeping himself together, he should be super proud of himself!
Love and blessings to all these women ,children, and their families that are supporting them. I hope they are all healing. I wish I could hug the girl who couldn't speak and began to cry. I understand how speechless all this can leave you. Thank you for posting.
Candy Consumers she is the elder one and does understand how there mother choose getting high instead of looking after her children i think that is why she is mad on her !
This brings tears to me. Some of my friends never grew up with their parents and went through something and were younger than the age of 15. I'm glad I have my parents.
Tropical AGStudios It'll only help both sides. The kids deserve to see their mother, and maybe seeing their kids, and having them visit in jail, will have them make sure when they get it, they never have to visit them in prison again.
Trumptrain2016 Wall the drug dealer is bad too and he sells stuff that kills ppl and the people who take it can die and the children would take the same path and die. Besides its an addiction, they coulda took it when there kids from other kids and they had no choice.
Life with EC Ive got a fimiluar story, My mom had to leave because my dad was trying to hurt her i miss my dad he was the kindest person ever, I loved him very much, But you have to believen yourself, Stay strong god will always be by your side
OMG REALLY?! That happen to me too!!! My mom left me when I was 3 and I haven’t seen her ever since. I’m 12 now, I’m used to it and I just have anger towards her and soooo many questions
Exactly rape is sooo looked over but for self-defence it's up to 6 to 30 years but rape is no longer than 3 years we need to change massively as a world and a community
idk bro. If she really is in there for that long i feel like there is more than just self defense. The judge decided it, so lets trust them for now. Can't really decide without talking to both of them but as you know...
Axtra judges have made f*ed up calls before... people have been wrongfully incarcerated and executed before... I wouldn’t be so sure that the American justice system is 100% fair or infallible. Don’t forget there’s people serving life for selling pot and people doing six months for sexual assault
Yeah something tells me that it comes down to whether or not he was an aggressor at that point. IE She stabs him once, he falls and is no longer an aggressor. If she then followed it up by stabbing him repeatedly until he was dead, that's 2nd degree murder. Same as if someone tries to rob you, you shoot them, they fall to the ground and are no longer a threat, and you just stand over them and execute them. Another example would be someone tries to attack you, you pull a gun, they start running away, and you shoot them in the back as they're retreating. All of these examples are 2nd degree murder. I don't know whether this case is or not, I'm just saying its very common for people to get charges because they don't disengage after the threat is gone. Something tells me they deemed it a crime of passion because she most likely stabbed him a bunch of times after disarming him.

Honestly, bless that dad for raising 4 daughters while making so many sacrifices. He’s an angel.
Amanda Charlebois many praise those women, so why can't she praise this man that is doing the same as those other moms?
Yes!! I totally agree with you.
Im a single father as well and when i see another father being a man and taking care of his responsibilities it makes me very happy even though we (fathers) are forever being criticized for what other fathers arent doing. We are all judged as a whole and not individually and that truly sadens me.
@@willschautz2664 why is this comment making me sad
He's the dad we all need
the girl that didn’t talk is clearly so conflicted, she loves her mom but her mom hurt her so bad and lost her trust.
lola yes i agree but also they get to visit their mom which is not alot and it's an interview which took up most of their time i bet so wasn't much of a visit with their mom really
And probably she has seen a lot since she is the oldest. The other siblings are very young and still mommy’s babies. But the older one has gone through everything. So sad. I hope she can process everything one day.. 😔
Right
I think it should be private and not this big celebration, there’s so much mixed and painful feelings 💔
She probably doesn't like cameras either.
I can’t imagine being 14 years old and not having a mom around to deal with periods or mental health or just anything like that, it must be so hard.
I know. Same!
ikr
True
I have a similar situation my mom has to fly to Germany (I live in Canada) for her job every couple of weeks
This is why it's important for men to be educated on feminine matters so that they know how to properly support their daughters in cases like these.

It amazes me how Ruby wasn't crying when her littlest daughter was crying and saying she misses her at home I mean I was bawling my eyes out
Pink Pineapple omg same I just got past that point and started crying my dad walked into my room and asked why I was crying
Sameeee I'm bawling my eyes out so hard😭😭😭
She’s probably feels numb
Me too the best of her was to share wipe
Bless their dad, he's so loyal and hard-working❤️. Can't believe I haven't seen a comment like this yet😂
TheCrazyHorseLover
I know right
Totally agree. Humans expect decency and pick up on negativity. Seemed a good man.
He’s being a father to his children and doing what he’s supposed to do
Amelie Bissell love u
That’s what he’s supposed too do
I don’t know why they would talk about her stabbing the guy & that he’s deceased in-front of the child
I was thinking the same thing. :-(
Tbh people do it all the time idk why tho
Talking about it isn't the painful thing, things like this are never far from your mind
The reporter didn't have all the facts. I'm sure someone got in trouble over it!
The kid literally lived through it, I think at this point if she is gonna hear about it, it's best coming from the mother in the prison rather than some random conversation anywhere else.
Its crazy how you can go to jail for trying to stop you and your daughter getting killed. Wow.
Tinnys Town she was using self defense. She should not be in prison right now as her right as an American. Self defense is perfectly okay and who ever her lawyer was must've sucked!
In Australia, you are most likely to get away with it :)
Tinnys Town it does however she did kill the person and that is murder no matter what
I agree with this but I would always say be careful about believing these stories. You are hearing her side of it…
That one mom stabbed her boyfriend who was trying to stab her that is self defense.How is she in prison,and having to serve 9 years missing out on her daughters childhood.#justice
She should have left
#justice 😂😂😂
There might have been more to the story than that but if it was purely self defense I agree

Respect to that father of 4 girls holding it down for his family. You inspire me to be a better dad. Thank you
Mercedes, (was her name?) is serving time in prison for self defense? That's messed up. Her boyfriend tried to kill her and she ended up defending herself by taking him out! And now she gets to miss half of her child's childhood life all because of self defense? A person should be able to defend their self without fear of prison! She should not be in prison for using self defense! Whoever her lawyer was was probably a terrible one because she should not be in prison!

Skylar Jade I know you write this a year ago and you probably don’t give a shit but you’re so right she shouldn’t have to miss her child’s life that makes me want to cry. I wonder if he would’ve gone to jail if she hadn’t killed him

Mercedes seems like such a wonderful woman and mother. Truly shameful that she was imprisoned for defending herself. She's not a danger to anyone.
It wasnt self defence... shes obviously lying. So sad so many people believe a murderer who trys to defend/explain his murder
@@snoxh2187 If she only got 9 years for second degree murder, then there were obviously mitigating factors taken into account, like domestic violence. It's men who lie about self-defense to get away with harming their female partners, not women.
Of corse I don’t know the case but I was in a program with a lot of kids with parents in group homes from similar scenarios and it was explained to me if there was a single second where you can get away it’s not self defense anymore… it kinda sucks because I know I wouldn’t want to chance it

I dont feel like this is right because the time she can spend with her daughters and husband they are bugging her with cameras

Alanis Jones they would have been filming for more than 10 minutes but ok
They had a choice if they wanted to be filmed, and the decided they did!!!!
Yeah. These kids emotions shouldn’t be so openly documented especially on a day like this.
Your right, but this is 1x that those Cameras are on them, so that other mothers think twice before ending up like these mothers. It's a very sad situation.
Oh gosh , the sacrifices i have made for my kids. I only hope i don't regret it tomorrow because those kids are my life.

I have 4 daughters and know how Ruby felt. My oldest is almost 18 and my youngest is 10. When they were younger, I struggled. The days were very long and seemed endless. Stay strong Ruby. You got caught up with a few bad choices but you can grow from it. You can recover from this and be an amazing example. Tears poured out watching you rejoice with your babies.
This video made me cry for real, it really touched me. When I was 4 years old my mom went to prison for 6 years, I only saw her once in those 6 years, but, I am 12, and almost 13 now , and I believe that everyone should be given a second chance, if they screw that up, then, oh well, but, my mom doing way better, and I get to see her more than I did. During the time that she was away, and still I had/have a wonderful family that raised me, and we all helped each other. If you have a parent in prison, just know, that things will get better. This quote by Ed Sheeran is one of my favorites "Everything will be okay in the end, if it is not okay, it is not the end" If you read this far, I hope you have an amazing rest of your day!

When the little girl couldnt even talk just hit me right in the feels....got a grown man crying. I have a 6yr old daughter that i am raising by myself and i grew up with foster parents. I know exactly how that little girl feels.
All these women seem like such kind and warm people. It’s hard to believe they’ve all done something that made them have to live behind bars. Our actions don’t always define us. Everyone makes mistakes❤️
This had me in tears. I just turned and saw my daughter and gave her a big hug and kiss. Sometimes we take the little simple things in life for granted until we don't have them. I wish these ladies can get a second chance at life SOON and be with their loved ones. 🙏🏻💕

*happy fathers day to the amazing dads out there. i never had a father figure in my life, mine was too hungover to even play with me and my sister. but it always warms my heart when i see fathers take care of their children.*
Absolutely heartbreaking watching that young woman cry. I can't imagine what these children go through. Hopefully programs like this will help remind the women what is waiting for them at home and keeps them on track to get out, and do what it takes to stay out.
When they mentioned the person who came up with this I was already thinking, 'bless the person who came up with this, bless them'
For the 3% of people that see this go up to your mom give her a big hug and tell her how much you love her.
Erin Culman yeh sad don't forget the parents get to see there kids if they good behaviour
I can't my mother died!
I can’t my mum isn’t allowed to see me
Much respect to the first dad❤️❤️❤️ 90% of men would have picked up and left kids to the foster system. It's hard to raise a kid alone, much less four, much less all girls, much less when you are a father. Having to deal with female puberty when you are a man is hard. Especially when you don't know what to say when you haven't been through it yourself. Amazing that some men actually step up and take responsibility.
I think that would be a very bad dad
I think i
He probably jst isnt telling anyone behind the cameras that he is dating someone
Seemed like good guy. God bless him
Wtf u mean 90% u don't do fucking research
When I seen the oldest daughter cry I felt that and I started to cry because I've been through a similar situation that same year for 3 years. It's hard going through all that pain and trauma being without your mother, not being able to feel safe and normal, but now since that part of my life is over I feel so free and happy.
I literally started crying when the girl was cryjng😭😭😭

this made me so emotional, i can’t imagine what any of those children are going through. it must be so difficult being one of those daughters and not being able to see your mom everyday or not being able to go home to see your mom after school. they’re so strong! but that dad is incredible, working 2 jobs to support his daughters and keeping himself together, he should be super proud of himself!

Tropical AGStudios It'll only help both sides. The kids deserve to see their mother, and maybe seeing their kids, and having them visit in jail, will have them make sure when they get it, they never have to visit them in prison again.

Very, sorry to hear.
Trumptrain2016 Wall the drug dealer is bad too and he sells stuff that kills ppl and the people who take it can die and the children would take the same path and die. Besides its an addiction, they coulda took it when there kids from other kids and they had no choice.

Exactly rape is sooo looked over but for self-defence it's up to 6 to 30 years but rape is no longer than 3 years we need to change massively as a world and a community
Exactly it should be the same if not more years.
He is such a good father. The first one. Bravo.
I started crying when the daughter started crying.
Scömìche Is definitely real SCHÖMÌCHE FAMILY!!😁💕
I thought self defense wasn’t a crime that got you jail time. If he was trying to kill her should she have just let him? I’m confused.
I guess Michigan doesn't have a castle act.
idk bro. If she really is in there for that long i feel like there is more than just self defense. The judge decided it, so lets trust them for now. Can't really decide without talking to both of them but as you know...
Axtra judges have made f*ed up calls before... people have been wrongfully incarcerated and executed before...
I wouldn’t be so sure that the American justice system is 100% fair or infallible.
Don’t forget there’s people serving life for selling pot and people doing six months for sexual assault
Yeah something tells me that it comes down to whether or not he was an aggressor at that point. IE She stabs him once, he falls and is no longer an aggressor. If she then followed it up by stabbing him repeatedly until he was dead, that's 2nd degree murder. Same as if someone tries to rob you, you shoot them, they fall to the ground and are no longer a threat, and you just stand over them and execute them. Another example would be someone tries to attack you, you pull a gun, they start running away, and you shoot them in the back as they're retreating. All of these examples are 2nd degree murder. I don't know whether this case is or not, I'm just saying its very common for people to get charges because they don't disengage after the threat is gone. Something tells me they deemed it a crime of passion because she most likely stabbed him a bunch of times after disarming him.
@@cassied9327 ye because an inmate telling bullshit and spreading lies to explain her own view is very unlikely... there was something else going on that she was put in jail for... but she didnt tell that because... ye you can guess why
