We have cans they call "bombs" here which look like fly spray but when you pull the tab, they release a fine mist of long term bug killer. For an average house, 3 cans will do enough to cover everything and it lasts for 6 months. Of course you shut the windows and take the pets out for the day. We also make sure that food and anything like fish are covered before we do it. You don't stay in the house while its happening. So I guess its like fumigating your own home DIY. They are relatively cheap and great when the fly season is about to happen. They won't sit on the ceiling or window sills. If they do they die. I have never heard of any adverse side affects. It would be ideal in these circumstances and the only way to get into all of the crevices.
The roaches are without a doubt already living in the building in multiple other apartments...her trash drew them in...but she's not the source or cause of them being there in the building in the first place 🙂
@@Esoteric_Ash Yes. Really, the building needs fumigating. We can do our own homes ourselves and we can buy the cans to do it at the supermarket. Basically as long as the windows are closed and food/fish are covered, then its as easy as setting off the cans and going out for 5 hours. The cans release a fine mist which kills cockroaches etc and will keep killing them if they walk anywhere the mist has gone. We can also buy baits etc. They are always around somewhere. We have native ones however they are harmless and prefer to live in wood outside. Its the German ones that spread disease.
Insects live everywhere, usually below floorboards & in skirting boards etc. It's only when a place is left with trash, stale foods & bits all over the floor, that they come out to feed.
@@sweetchestnut Yes there are bugs everywhere however I disagree that they only come out when a home is dirty. We are heading into summer so flies are the norm, people wash the outside of their house to get rid of spider webs and spray the house to stop them coming inside. Bug control is part of life. Don't people get flies in the summer there? We are always armed with fly/bug spray because they are inevitable. I don't know how big buildings like apartments are dealt with except for in situations like rats or mice. We have exterminators who go around businesses etc to trap them and lay bait. In single homes people use traps and bait themselves.
I feel like if someone is so debilitated, whether mentally or physically, that they have to live in conditions like this, then they probably need to be in a facility, or assisted living care. They definitely are not capable of caring for themselves, much less a young child.
There are so many homeless people in the US with mental health and addiction problems. They aren't in assisted living placements. Its far better for both of them to have assistance to stay in their own home. The father needs to step up and step in and become a support for this mother.
The mom is receiving therapy, the home has been cleaned, the roaches have been exterminated, the authorities are monitoring the family. All the pieces are in place for the child to be returned. Mom knows she is being watched so she is motivated to hold it together even when she is stressed. Hoping the authorities have provided means for the mom to get help before she gets too overwhelmed. May friends, family, and kind neighbors look to help her before things get out of hand. And mom needs to LET people help her so this never happens again. Shutting the door and suffering in silence risked the child's life and almost got him taken away 😔 Wishing strength for mom going forward.
I can tell you have zero idea of how things are most likely to end up. That mother is not fit to take care of a child. As I posted in another comment, I am both a retired child psychologist and retired attorney. Neither is any federal or local agency fit to be around a young child. The only hope is that some kind person, adopt the child.
Bless the neighbors that spoke up.😢 these babies deserve a voice. I hope mom gets the help she needs &provides a healthy home environment for her children 🥰✨
Yes, but she will never be treated as a criminal and you can bet CPS will give him back to her since it probably took them years to realize how he was living to begin with. Read the message for yourself at the end. The only thing CPS was concerned about "was the clutter". For CPS, that house is simply considered "cluttered". Children are the least protected class on earth and as citizens, we should demand that if CPS isn't doing its job, it should be abolished. Too many children keep falling through their cracks and end up unalived or as criminals which impacts all of us in the end, and becomes a further excuse to continue infringing on our rights and freedoms. These agencies need to be held accountable for what they do with our tax money. If they aren't working, then we can find something that will.

There is NO WAY this happened in six months. This is years or at least a year of neglect and really severe mental illness, this is more than just depression. Barbie you deserve a medal AND PLEEEEASE you need to start wearing professional cleaning suits. Please. ❤
June 2024 was probably the day she saved the photo from the old real estate listing. I suspect that she became anemic during her pregnancy, and then in addition developered postpartum depression after the birth. As a new immigrant without a social network, she must have been very sick and isolated with that child. I am glad she is getting therapy but hope she is able to get medical and nutritional assistance too.
@@ediefolta9494upon assumption you told a lie I didn’t become anemic from my pregnancy I WAS BORN WITH IT! THATS for starters also NOTHING WAS NEWLY SAVED if they were newly saved they would have a much sooner date on it have also had friends over my apartment the ones I had at the time and I’m surly for certain you can’t fake the time on iMessage !
I feel so sorry for her neighbors- imagine finally getting into a newly renovated building, finally escaping some of these horribly outdated and poorly maintained buildings only to have someone do this - inciting a horrific cockroach infestation. That will impact the entire building and will be extremely difficult if not impossible to completely remediate. Of course I feel bad for the child too and hope that their current situation is better than this.
This building already had a roach infestation check the 311 reports first and foremost SECONDLY nothing in my apartment effected my neighbors they actually didn’t even know about it until recently
@@lm9991there was no rodents bc it hadn’t been this way in this state for long if it was in this condition for much longer it probably would’ve been but I wouldn’t have allowed it to go that far anyways I was already trying to get help before it go worse stay tuned for the finished product Barbie has proof of that❤️❤️
@ what fucking lazy days was I having ???? And what apartment are you in ? I can come to your apartment RN!! Nothing in this comment was “true” and I don’t give a flying fuck what you don’t believe YOU DONT LIVE IN MY APARTMENT 😂first and foremost and august??? Started arriving in august? Well that clearly proves my point if my apartment was like this BEFORE July and if my apartment was the “cause” of the roaches which it wasn’t THEN ROACHES WOULDVE BEEN IN THIS BUILDING BEFOREEEEEEEEEEEE AUGUST 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂but I’m so glad you said bc it still proves my point even tho I was told by the super themselves that there was roaches already on the 4th floor so you can miss me with that bc MENTAL HEALTH ALSO WAS NOT MY ONLY ISSUE please don’t be in my building tryna run your mouth bs we most certainly can have a face to face you’re not finna spread bs while we in the same building I can address you IN PERSON!
@ and what’s also funny is you said they were coming out of the laundry room?? Lmao THATS ON THE 7th FLOOR!! Im not on the 7th that PROVES WHAT I SAID ABOUT ROACHES already being in the building LMAOOOOO
Seeing the play pens and the stroller crawling with roaches was particularly disturbing- I hope the child is too young to remember living like this. Thank you Barbie & Random Johnny for helping this family without judgement. ❤
Of all the cleaning videos ive watched this has to be the best representation of how mental illness can impact peoples lifes.Bravo Barbie for helping this lady get her son back.
I'm glad someone reported this woman so her child could be somewhere clean and safe, support and true help doesn't always look like enabling. Sometimes it's accountability. I'm even happier that people like you exist that are willing to help this woman out. These conditions were unthinkable, and you are a hero! Bless you Barbie and the little baby in this situation 🙏 ❤
This is the worst house I've ever seen. At 22 with a child, she needs lots of help and without a job how did she accumulate so much trash! I didn't see any toys, clothes or food for the child either. Soo sad
My skin was crawling watching this video. I hope the mother watched this. All the fast food and soda drink containers that money could be paying a cleaner to help her. You are such an angel for cleaning this unit, my heartfelt thanks to you both.
@@TinasCrazyLife are you out of your mind? Healthy food is SO much cheaper than all of this crap and especially considering she seemingly ordered it all on DoorDash (crazy expensive service).
Why can't you understand that she was too unwell to obtain or cook healthy food? She has anemia, it's a physical illness leaving people with no energy. Maybe she couldn't afford both a cleaner and food.
Two things: 1. It took a lot longer than 6 months for this home to get this bad 2. It's a good thing the little boy was removed, this is very dangerous especially for a 2 year old Hopefully having her son taken away is the wake-up call this mother needs to make the most of her therapy. Best wishes to her.
Time stamps can be faked.. just saying I hope with therapy she can get her child back. No one should be living like this. Bless you for helping her Barbie
I suspect she could do with a nurse aid/domestic help for a few months while she gets her anaemia and depression sorted. And it will make a huge difference to her self esteem if she can get a job.
@@huskylegends8581 Re-save the photo with a new date? I too hope they can be safely reunited. We can sugar coat all the reasons, and there are many good reasons why someone gets so down that this happens; the bottom line is you cannot have a toddler clambering over rubbish in a home so badly infested with cockroaches.
Barbie, you've been through my worst nightmare. That infestation is one of the biggest fears I have. You deserve to be on the top 5 cleaners of all time.
In Wisconsin the social service people helped me when my kids were little. My house was always clean but we were so poor and my husband had a drinking problem.I was SO DEPRESSED. They provided a parenting aid, kids went to Headstart. I got on meds and had counseling. Found the religion that spoke to me. We all need help!!!
Yes. Wrap around services like counseling, supportive child care, and health care are needed. And most parents are left to their own devices. We don’t have a “village” in this country and we have very little services to support families. Other countries have paid family leave for a year plus. Visiting nurse services for the new mom and infant for several months. Subsidized or free child care. This helps families succeed and stay healthy together.
I am so pleased you got the support you needed and deserved. This is a good example of what should happen in situations like yours. I wish you all the best for the future. Thanks for sharing your story.
@@Natalie.Dthe sad part is so many people keep voting for politicians who want to eliminate all these services. They don’t care about people. They only care about themselves and money.
Hello Barbie: I must say something to you: I think that you are one of the most bravest and strong women I have ever known to do this work. To clean this apartment is very brave. I wish you could hear my voice, as I say these words to you. Kind regards, M.
You can't understand that eating is an absolute basic necessity for life that has to come even above cleaning? Maybe she couldn't afford a cleaner because she was having to buy take-aways due to being too unwell to do anything at all including shop for groceries and cook.
@the-only-sonia if you literally had no money though you wouldn't hire a maid if it meant you'd have to not eat. No point dying in a clean apartment is there! Better to be alive in a filthy one. I'm sure she would have hired a maid if she could. It's not about being too broke to afford fast food. If you were too ill to obtain any other food, you'd buy fast food even if it meant defaulting on the rent. In terms of survival food and water comes above everything else.
@dreamer6943 yes I understand what your are saying. However you have turned my comment on my experience into some sort of malicious remark that she should starve. Find someone else to direct your anger at, I am neither expecting this woman to die of starvation or wish her any ill intent.
@the-only-sonia try to have some compassion for others then because you turned her experience of being ill into a judgement on her life/character with your initial malicious judgemental comment
I think this was one of the nicest apartments you have ever cleaned. No crumbling plaster, no paint coming off the walls, no patchy floors, old sinks. You did a fantastic job and Random Johnny did awesome too ! I was wondering how you were going to get all those heavy bags out of there and then you get help LOL I don't know how you do it with the creepy crawlies all over the place like that!!! I could not do it, well maybe with a hazmat suit! Not maybe not LOL You work miracles! Thank you for being you Barbie, and having the compassion you do. And thank you Johnny for understanding and being there for Barbie. See you next week!
Yes this is because my home was not in this condition for too too long hi this is my home even tho life hit me and this was a result it had not been at the state it was when she showed up for long yes the trash piled up for a couple months but it’s only been piled so high for at least a good 8 weeks and even before I tried to get help
@@ELWest1000idk sometimes she calls him husband other times boyfriend. I know they have small children….so maybe live-in bf? 🤷🏾♀️ I’m wondering 💭 too ……he comes & helps like a husband would though 💜
I’m amazed at the level of destruction that occurred in under 6 months 😮 I hope the mother gets the mental help she needs and is able to keep her place clean and safe enough to get her child back. What a bad situation.
I hope this young lady feels better soon, it is horrible being anaemic, I hope she gets some iron tablets, as well as topping up her ferritin. That is a hard job you are doing there,Barbie don't overdo it.😊❤😊❤
I said in another comment that I think the apartment was already hoarded and the toilet overflowed and wasn’t cleaned up. The mess soaked it up and rot and filth spread and cockroaches were in heaven eating and multiplying and crapping. 😢
@@sandramarc4858The photos must be from when she first moved in. She must be embarrassed. I feel for this woman had her child though. Honesty is the first step to healing and she will work it out with her therapist.
Being anemic is horrible, I have been there, I had absolutely zero energy!!! I was horribly tired also. When you one takes that and adds depression to it, the poor lady had more than a plate full. I really hope thw counseling helps, it usually does, and she gets her baby back and can continue on with a healthy happy life. Thank you, Barbie, for sharing your work and for just doing this much needed work. You are a super hero!!!!!
As someone with a hoarder father who was abused as a child I actually think everyone needs to reconsider hoping this mother gets her kids back. No, horders have a high recidivism rate. That baby needs to stay somewhere safe.
It's not hoarding disorder. She has anaemia a physical illness leaving people with no energy and she simply hasn't been able to take the trash out. Hopefully the hospital are treating the anaemia now and she will recover in time. It's not a mental illness or a character flaw.
@dreamer6943 - she can't take the trash out but can buy lots of things???? If she would be so incapacitated physically she wouldn't be able to move ..But she can move around, going out, buy thinks, put makeup on... Anaemia is not that serious, many people suffer from it, the elderly has got worse physical symptoms than her... She is very lazy or/and has serious mental problems, living in trash is not a sign of physical illness, but something more mental.
Wow. This is THE cockroach video. I've had some personal experience with roach infestations in the past. It was so bad we had to keep the lights on in the kitchen all the time because if we did not, then turned the lights back on, every surface would seem to come alive with swarms like in this video. They would even jump off the walls and ceiling in their haste to scatter. I didn't know I had PTSD from this until I started laughing with nervous hysteria while watching you dig up the garbage heap in this apartment. Barbie, you have my utmost respect when it comes to your ability to handle these critters. Random Johnny reacted like any mere mortal when one got under his shirt. Thank you for just the right amount of cleaning at the back end of the video. I remember when you first got your steam cleaner and it was just the perfect tool for this job. I'm looking forward to the rest of the clean-up. Thank you Barbie and Random Johnny.
Barbie I have a new found respect for you and your husband. I don’t know how you did this one, it is horrifying to think a woman and her 2 year old live in this squaller. You deserve a medal. 🙋♂️🙏 from Australia
Think about what is occurring in this video. An Eastern European immigrant to the US is using her energy and industriousness to videotape herself cleaning a pig sty. The horror was created by a woman with a toddler but no job. She's on US welfare. Probably an illegal alien invader who is getting Visa cards from NY state. Disgusting. And then the Eastern European immigrant gets paid because so many of us are fascinated with the abomination, and advertisers are able to play ads during the airing of this video ...
I don’t know how people would be able to afford a cleaning like this.. Thank God for you doing this excruciating hard work for free.. most all would be lost without you 😢
The disgusting occupant of this apartment got everything else for free. Barbie says the occupant has no job and no family support. Only possible way that all that stuff is in that apartment is at the expense of the US taxpayer. Heck, US taxpayer might as well pay $4,000 for someone to clean up the filth, too ...
Please do not attempt to clean and reuse appliances from an apartment that has been this infested with roaches. The bugs will have infiltrated and laid their eggs inside of every nook and cranny of those appliances, and fumigation will have no effect on them since they are protected from the spray.
I told her I didn’t wanna keep it all I wanted a fresh start but she’s too nice lol I’m definitely not using anything in here I’m getting all new stuff even if it’s not 100% brand new I’m also about to start working soon so I’ll be able to afford more
At the start of this video, I was really trying to not judge and be open minded about how things got this bad. But the longer I watched this video, the more infuriated I became. The videos where children are involved, always leaves me wondering. Are they getting you to clean the apartment because they want a clean and safe environment for their child to grow up in, or do they simply just want their child back/not want their child taken away? Because if it's the latter, the moment CPS do their rounds/inspection and go, the mess will accumulate ten fold. The same goes for the landlord inspections. I feel the moment the landlord has come around and decides to not kick the tenant out, the pressure is off and it's back to square one. I feel it has to be the person making the mess that really, truly WANTS to change and wants to better their life. Side note: I am not from the USA, therefor I do not know how CPS works and all the details surrounding it. Extra side note: if I were her neighbors, I'd be PISSED. You might see some cockroaches moving into your space, you try to take care of it on a small scale, but they keep returning and each time, just more. You can't understand what may be happening and your space is always neat and tidy and you yourself might have kids that you're trying to create a safe and clean space for- only to find out it's your neighbor that's been the cause of all this.
You said it all, even 3 floors below us we have cockroaches. She claims that there were cockroaches when she moved in, to me that is 99.99% a lie. This building has only been open for 2 years now in December and there were no cockroaches. It is a new building. Now all the neighbors have their cockroaches...they have spread to all the floors. A new and beautiful building infested with cockroaches. I hope this girl does everything she should do for herself and her baby.
@@TamaraRivera-p1x please keep an eye out for the baby and call cps if the flat gets in this state again! I was so angry and anxious by watching the video and reading the mother’s comments but so happy I’ve seen your comment! I really hope there are nice people in that building who will keep an eye out on the situation….
Jeez Barbie you seriously need a medal! That level of roach infestation is the worst one I've seen yet in many years of watching cleaning videos. You did a sterling job so far and I'm impatient to see part 2 next week. Might have to hold my breath and have a sick bucket to hand tho when you tackle that toilet!
That roach problem is part of the ENTIRE building now!! So UNFAIR I have lived this, from filthy tenants in same bldg U can NEVER get rid of them. I had to throw out our furniture, our mattresses, our electronics (they loooove electronics), and boxes of bks. We should have thrown out alllll our clothes. If it ever happens again I will throw out clothes too! But I’m never ever living in a rental again unless it’s single dwelling. Roach infestation is a horror show. We should have aggressively sued the complex for allowing tenants to be like this. Thousands of dollars of items I threw out!! Besides being forced from an apt FULL of roaches, no choice had to flee finally.
New York has the worst cockroach infestation of anywhere in the US. One in six New Yorkers have seen them in their home. They go inside when its cold. So I'm fairly sure she didn't cause the whole infestation there. People need to follow the guidelines of how to prevent an infestation themselves if they don't want them.
Se definitely needs help, parenting classes also. I think landlords need to do more inspections on there properties then it wouldn't get to this level. Great job Barbie
They did their yearly inspections in January ofc there was nothing wrong with my apartment then… I also do not need parenting classes for things that were out of my control be so frl
This is definitely more than 6 months worth of not cleaning, I don't think she has cleaned from the day she moved in. Hopefully she can maintain what you do.
At the end of the video, Barbie said she was going to go back and clean up more. If Barbie is away for 2 or 3 days, and the woman is living in the place, it'll be nasty again when Barbie returns. Awful.
@@brianwilliams7926 that woman will not keep it up, not without significant intervention. Which can take YEARS. my mums like this and has had help and support over the years and it always goes back to being hoarded and dirty. These people rarely change. If anything, they get used to free cleaning and just hoard it and dirty it up again
Love that it's not just superficial cleaning but Barbie goes out of her way to disinfect everything. She cleans like it were her own home. Amazing work. I can't imagine how tired you were after this.
I am happy you could help. Great job! One thing the system will do is fail these kids. There is no way she should have that child back right now. She needs a mental evaluation. She also need the case to stay open for at least a year.
Really hard to believe that this mess grew within six months, but it shows even more how much she must have been struggeling. Much love for her and you 💕
Because this pile of garbage definitely didn't form in such a short of time. A mother with a small child produces so much garbage?? It's simply unrealistic.
Roaches are my absolute biggest fear- I can’t imagine the strength and the bravery it took for you to help this family. You’re literally a life-saver, Barbie (and husband!) 💓💓
Barbie you and your helper are miracle workers! You have done so much for the safety and wellbeing of that 2 year old. God bless and watch over you all. ❤
Wow you can tell thats a high end apartment too! The mind is a tricky thing . God bless you and your strength to tackle this mess. I hope the mom and child are both doing better
I don't have words enough to tell you how much I admire and respect you, Barbie. What is very obvious to me is that as hard and unpleasant as the jobs you take on are, you have a unique and special gift from GOD to see these people who are struggling so bad that they are barely hanging on to their lives and then you get in there and you begin improve their surroundings and their lives. It's so amazing what you do and the things you are willing to do for others. Prayers for you and prayers for this lady and her little boy. 🙏 Wishing her better days ahead and you've certainly given her a huge head start on that. Good job 👏 ❤ 💕
Underneath all of that it is actually quite a nice apartment. It’s definitely one of the nicest ones I’ve seen you clean. Gee it’s a big help when you have random Johnny help you. It was hilarious when he had a roach go in his clothes.😂 Another big but fantastic job done again Barbie. You rock. 🤘 ❤🇦🇺🦘🐋
Imagine the amount of cockroaches her neighbors are going to have to deal with?!? How can a 2yrs old baby live in this condition?! Thank God someone called CPS!
Watching this video of Barbie makes me want to cry.😢 Not for the mother who ruined the renovated apartment, but for you. You jeopardized your health (and your back) by shoveling and exterminating heaps of garbage alongside swarms of disease-ridden roaches that infested the rooms. I was torn between feeling empathy or resentment towards the tenant who clearly struggles emotionally. However, it's heartbreaking to see your willingness to help by providing a clean and deodorized apartment could endanger you physically🤦♀. Thank goodness🙏 your friend was there to assist with the task. Your incredible endurance is truly admirable😇, and I hope that after completing such an impressive job, the mother will value your efforts and maintain the apartment's cleanliness at all costs for her child's sake. Your dedication to this extensive endeavor, Barbie, is worthy of considerable praise and recognition.👏😄
I agree with every word you say! Poor, darling Barbie, struggling, heaving and pulling for hours a day for 4 days was a terrible strain on her body! It w as s far too much for one, or two and needed a team!
Your ability to work in these conditions is absolutely incredible. You are truly unique and strong in every sense of the word. Thank you so much for showing kindness to this mom and giving her a chance to build herself back.
Wow this is the most disturbing free cleaning hoarders house I've watched on YT! I'm glad you had help on second day because it was so cruel for just it to be just one person's job! The landlord needs to have the building fumigated!!
Absolutely devastating 😢 everything needs to be replaced. Roaches are super dangerous for your health, especially when you're already compromised. Best of luck to this mother and son. I hope they can find the support they need ❤
Oh that‘s disgusting … 🤢 The poor mom and baby. Things don’t get this bad without a reason. I hope she‘s in good care and finds a community to support her and the baby can be safe with her again. They don’t say „It takes a village to raise a child“ for nothing.
This comment made me tear up but I have ❤the work program I got into makes me feel so much better about myself than I have for a while although depression can take a lifetime to cure I feel a little better knowing my life is slowly getting better and in the place I’ve tried so hard to get to❤
I would only be angry (and upset) if the child were still living in these conditions without social services and mental health being involved to monitor the conditions and protect the child. What you did here is nothing short of heroic. Much respect, Barbie. Edit: What “happened” is that she got caught and turned in to Social Services.
Social Workers need to VISIT this place once a week to make sure it stays clean . Unbelievable amount of pests in there. how on earth could you let it come this far..
Lazy is not taking the trash out until you're going outside next time. Or leaving the Dishes for tomorrow. This is what Depression can look like! Good on Mommy for asking you to help her!
This is such a sad story to hear. Barbie, you did an excellent job of cleaning up for a single mother. This task was very difficult, but you're able to accomplish your goal, and for that I thank you. Hope you've an wonderful day! Stay warm in this cold weather! 💛💛💛💛💛
Clap Clap, Clean with Barbie. I can’t wait until next week. As always a perfect job. How wonderful to have the exterminator come. That makes a fabulous difference. This seems like a newer apartment with quality cabinets, countertops, and appliances. You made it new again! 🧤💙
You should have also contacted the landlord and charged him a cleaning fee because you helped save his apartment from anymore damage. You and your husband deserve an award
@@Continuingtoheal Wrong. No one who loves a child would subject him to those conditions. Filth, disgusting bugs crawling all over him, clutter, disarray, horrid stench. I hope that boy finds a loving home.
I keep thinking about the poor little child. The first three years are the most important years for brain development, and this little toddler spent his first 2 in that insane filth. How could he learn to crawl or walk? Where could he play? I didn't see any toys or baby/toddler clothes. I nearly cried when I saw the state of the crib. The mattress was filthy and it was stained even on the base of the crib. I pray he will be developmentally "normal" now he is in clean surroundings, but it takes much more than than that. The mum needs parenting classes at the very least. Does she even know about basic housekeeping?
You are a saint for doing this job. If I had $1 million to give you I would. That house is absolutely deplorable and you and your husband. is single-handedly cleaning this house which is absolutely wonderful
I was concerned the floor would collapse under all that weight. I can't imagine how much your body must have ached after this brutally exhausting work. Thank you as always Barbie, for doing it, and thank you to whoever called the social worker for getting the ball rolling in making a better life for this baby and mom.
You are a saint! I don’t know how you aren’t haunted by nightmares of bugs crawling on you! I hope you’re taking awesome care of yourself. ❤ you are an absolute blessing to these wonderful people. They must know that you are so special. Not many people can do what you do. It takes someone very special to do your work and especially not be judgmental. To have your level of compassion is amazing. ❤
God bless the person who called cps..
100% this! this person can't care for themselves let alone a small child! they need alot of mental help before that child should go back!
They're going to have to tent and fumigate this ENTIRE building. Those roaches are now every other tenants' problem. :(

@@Fightdog I was shocked watching the rest of the video, especially when the cockroaches rained from the sofa/ chair, I have no words.. X
@DebsGoldsworthy there are no words….😮
I feel like if someone is so debilitated, whether mentally or physically, that they have to live in conditions like this, then they probably need to be in a facility, or assisted living care. They definitely are not capable of caring for themselves, much less a young child.
There are so many homeless people in the US with mental health and addiction problems. They aren't in assisted living placements. Its far better for both of them to have assistance to stay in their own home. The father needs to step up and step in and become a support for this mother.
@@christinamare2327 totally agree
Or jail… this is child abuse. Sick.
In 3 years she made so much rubbish no way maybe 10 years
Where did she get the money to buy so much things ?? And so many wigs
That poor baby, can't imagine the condition of his lungs living in all that.
😢
And he must have been bitten again and again. My heart breaks for him.
He is healthy what are you talking about
@@sashastarcatbitten by what? We don’t have bed bugs😂
Oh the poor baby 😢
The mom is receiving therapy, the home has been cleaned, the roaches have been exterminated, the authorities are monitoring the family. All the pieces are in place for the child to be returned. Mom knows she is being watched so she is motivated to hold it together even when she is stressed. Hoping the authorities have provided means for the mom to get help before she gets too overwhelmed. May friends, family, and kind neighbors look to help her before things get out of hand. And mom needs to LET people help her so this never happens again. Shutting the door and suffering in silence risked the child's life and almost got him taken away 😔 Wishing strength for mom going forward.
Beautifully said, praying for the best for mom and child, and God bless our sweet Barbie ❤.
I can tell you have zero idea of how things are most likely to end up. That mother is not fit to take care of a child. As I posted in another comment, I am both a retired child psychologist and retired attorney. Neither is any federal or local agency fit to be around a young child. The only hope is that some kind person, adopt the child.
The child was returned to the mother.
Barbie I’m not sure what I admire more… how strong your muscles are or how strong your stomach is. Because WOW.
Bless the neighbors that spoke up.😢 these babies deserve a voice. I hope mom gets the help she needs &provides a healthy home environment for her children 🥰✨
That is the worst roach infestation I have ever seen. I'm speechless beyond that.
Me too. Very disturbing.
Very disturbing
Have never seen another video even close to that bad 😢
I can’t even focus on the video without thinking of that poor baby. This is criminal.
Yes, but she will never be treated as a criminal and you can bet CPS will give him back to her since it probably took them years to realize how he was living to begin with. Read the message for yourself at the end. The only thing CPS was concerned about "was the clutter". For CPS, that house is simply considered "cluttered".
Children are the least protected class on earth and as citizens, we should demand that if CPS isn't doing its job, it should be abolished. Too many children keep falling through their cracks and end up unalived or as criminals which impacts all of us in the end, and becomes a further excuse to continue infringing on our rights and freedoms. These agencies need to be held accountable for what they do with our tax money. If they aren't working, then we can find something that will.

You clean the worse houses than any other tuber! So brave.
Yeah….you Mac & Auri…but this….whew…..is in the top 5 cleans 👏🏾
Auri is my favorite.
6 months? nah! That's a good 5 years! She brought that baby home from the hospital to that.
There is NO WAY this happened in six months. This is years or at least a year of neglect and really severe mental illness, this is more than just depression. Barbie you deserve a medal AND PLEEEEASE you need to start wearing professional cleaning suits. Please. ❤
Yea no way this happened in 6 months or year 😢
June 2024 was probably the day she saved the photo from the old real estate listing. I suspect that she became anemic during her pregnancy, and then in addition developered postpartum depression after the birth. As a new immigrant without a social network, she must have been very sick and isolated with that child. I am glad she is getting therapy but hope she is able to get medical and nutritional assistance too.
I think two years is a realistic estimate.
Demonic oppression or possession
@@ediefolta9494upon assumption you told a lie I didn’t become anemic from my pregnancy I WAS BORN WITH IT! THATS for starters also NOTHING WAS NEWLY SAVED if they were newly saved they would have a much sooner date on it have also had friends over my apartment the ones I had at the time and I’m surly for certain you can’t fake the time on iMessage !
I feel so sorry for her neighbors- imagine finally getting into a newly renovated building, finally escaping some of these horribly outdated and poorly maintained buildings only to have someone do this - inciting a horrific cockroach infestation. That will impact the entire building and will be extremely difficult if not impossible to completely remediate. Of course I feel bad for the child too and hope that their current situation is better than this.
@@TheMeganExperience One silver lining is there were no rodents.
This building already had a roach infestation check the 311 reports first and foremost SECONDLY nothing in my apartment effected my neighbors they actually didn’t even know about it until recently
@@lm9991there was no rodents bc it hadn’t been this way in this state for long if it was in this condition for much longer it probably would’ve been but I wouldn’t have allowed it to go that far anyways I was already trying to get help before it go worse stay tuned for the finished product Barbie has proof of that❤️❤️
@ what fucking lazy days was I having ???? And what apartment are you in ? I can come to your apartment RN!! Nothing in this comment was “true” and I don’t give a flying fuck what you don’t believe YOU DONT LIVE IN MY APARTMENT 😂first and foremost and august??? Started arriving in august? Well that clearly proves my point if my apartment was like this BEFORE July and if my apartment was the “cause” of the roaches which it wasn’t THEN ROACHES WOULDVE BEEN IN THIS BUILDING BEFOREEEEEEEEEEEE AUGUST 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂but I’m so glad you said bc it still proves my point even tho I was told by the super themselves that there was roaches already on the 4th floor so you can miss me with that bc MENTAL HEALTH ALSO WAS NOT MY ONLY ISSUE please don’t be in my building tryna run your mouth bs we most certainly can have a face to face you’re not finna spread bs while we in the same building I can address you IN PERSON!
@ and what’s also funny is you said they were coming out of the laundry room?? Lmao THATS ON THE 7th FLOOR!! Im not on the 7th that PROVES WHAT I SAID ABOUT ROACHES already being in the building LMAOOOOO
That cockroach infestation is insane. You are a miracle worker!
Now they’re running around in our building!!
I’d be like that old school song “Run to the hills! Run for your life!”
I know! At one point I even noticed one crawling on her!
@@rayarena879 I think I saw that.😬
@@leena2203 LOL!
Seeing the play pens and the stroller crawling with roaches was particularly disturbing- I hope the child is too young to remember living like this. Thank you Barbie & Random Johnny for helping this family without judgement. ❤
Of all the cleaning videos ive watched this has to be the best representation of how mental illness can impact peoples lifes.Bravo Barbie for helping this lady get her son back.
Well said!
❤❤
Well no, because anemia isn't a mental illness it's a physical one that leaves people with no energy.
I'm glad someone reported this woman so her child could be somewhere clean and safe, support and true help doesn't always look like enabling. Sometimes it's accountability. I'm even happier that people like you exist that are willing to help this woman out. These conditions were unthinkable, and you are a hero! Bless you Barbie and the little baby in this situation 🙏 ❤
This is the worst house I've ever seen. At 22 with a child, she needs lots of help and without a job how did she accumulate so much trash! I didn't see any toys, clothes or food for the child either. Soo sad
My skin was crawling watching this video. I hope the mother watched this. All the fast food and soda drink containers that money could be paying a cleaner to help her. You are such an angel for cleaning this unit, my heartfelt thanks to you both.
It's pathetic when fast food is cheaper than healthier food
@@TinasCrazyLifefast food definitely is not cheaper. Especially if you're getting it from DoorDash.
@@TinasCrazyLife are you out of your mind? Healthy food is SO much cheaper than all of this crap and especially considering she seemingly ordered it all on DoorDash (crazy expensive service).
@@TinasCrazyLife it's not cheaper in this economy, but I understand the convenience 100%
Why can't you understand that she was too unwell to obtain or cook healthy food? She has anemia, it's a physical illness leaving people with no energy. Maybe she couldn't afford both a cleaner and food.
Two things:
1. It took a lot longer than 6 months for this home to get this bad
2. It's a good thing the little boy was removed, this is very dangerous especially for a 2 year old
Hopefully having her son taken away is the wake-up call this mother needs to make the most of her therapy. Best wishes to her.
Let’s not add she abuse the kid
Barbie got time stamped photos to prove the place was fine in June. Places can disintegrate very quickly
Time stamps can be faked.. just saying
I hope with therapy she can get her child back. No one should be living like this. Bless you for helping her Barbie
I suspect she could do with a nurse aid/domestic help for a few months while she gets her anaemia and depression sorted. And it will make a huge difference to her self esteem if she can get a job.
@@huskylegends8581 Re-save the photo with a new date? I too hope they can be safely reunited. We can sugar coat all the reasons, and there are many good reasons why someone gets so down that this happens; the bottom line is you cannot have a toddler clambering over rubbish in a home so badly infested with cockroaches.
Barbie, you've been through my worst nightmare. That infestation is one of the biggest fears I have. You deserve to be on the top 5 cleaners of all time.
In Wisconsin the social service people helped me when my kids were little. My house was always clean but we were so poor and my husband had a drinking problem.I was SO DEPRESSED. They provided a parenting aid, kids went to Headstart. I got on meds and had counseling. Found the religion that spoke to me. We all need help!!!
That's wonderful!! We do, indeed, all need help at some point in our lives. ❤
Yes. Wrap around services like counseling, supportive child care, and health care are needed. And most parents are left to their own devices. We don’t have a “village” in this country and we have very little services to support families. Other countries have paid family leave for a year plus. Visiting nurse services for the new mom and infant for several months. Subsidized or free child care. This helps families succeed and stay healthy together.
I am so pleased you got the support you needed and deserved. This is a good example of what should happen in situations like yours. I wish you all the best for the future. Thanks for sharing your story.
@@Natalie.Dthe sad part is so many people keep voting for politicians who want to eliminate all these services. They don’t care about people. They only care about themselves and money.
@@michby Yepp, they do not give a flying fight!
Barbie I don't know how you do it , you are fearless that's for sure !!!
Hello Barbie:
I must say something to you: I think that you are one of the most bravest and strong women I have ever known to do this work.
To clean this apartment is very brave. I wish you could hear my voice, as I say these words to you. Kind regards, M.
I cant imagine having enough money to buy all of that take out food but not having enough to get a weekly cleaner. I hope she gets well.
Exactly
You can't understand that eating is an absolute basic necessity for life that has to come even above cleaning? Maybe she couldn't afford a cleaner because she was having to buy take-aways due to being too unwell to do anything at all including shop for groceries and cook.
@the-only-sonia if you literally had no money though you wouldn't hire a maid if it meant you'd have to not eat. No point dying in a clean apartment is there! Better to be alive in a filthy one. I'm sure she would have hired a maid if she could. It's not about being too broke to afford fast food. If you were too ill to obtain any other food, you'd buy fast food even if it meant defaulting on the rent. In terms of survival food and water comes above everything else.
@dreamer6943 yes I understand what your are saying. However you have turned my comment on my experience into some sort of malicious remark that she should starve. Find someone else to direct your anger at, I am neither expecting this woman to die of starvation or wish her any ill intent.
@the-only-sonia try to have some compassion for others then because you turned her experience of being ill into a judgement on her life/character with your initial malicious judgemental comment
I think this was one of the nicest apartments you have ever cleaned. No crumbling plaster, no paint coming off the walls, no patchy floors, old sinks. You did a fantastic job and Random Johnny did awesome too ! I was wondering how you were going to get all those heavy bags out of there and then you get help LOL I don't know how you do it with the creepy crawlies all over the place like that!!! I could not do it, well maybe with a hazmat suit! Not maybe not LOL You work miracles! Thank you for being you Barbie, and having the compassion you do. And thank you Johnny for understanding and being there for Barbie. See you next week!
Is Johnny her husband? He is so great to come and help. Together they did a great job.
Yes this is because my home was not in this condition for too too long hi this is my home even tho life hit me and this was a result it had not been at the state it was when she showed up for long yes the trash piled up for a couple months but it’s only been piled so high for at least a good 8 weeks and even before I tried to get help
She’s truly amazing I can’t wait to bless her back the way she blessed me
@@ELWest1000idk sometimes she calls him husband other times boyfriend. I know they have small children….so maybe live-in bf? 🤷🏾♀️ I’m wondering 💭 too ……he comes & helps like a husband would though 💜
@@feliciawilliams5720 He's awesome to do that. Most people wouldn't.
Can anyone explain how ONE person could accumulate that much garbage in two years?? It appears to more like ten years to me.
I’m amazed at the level of destruction that occurred in under 6 months 😮 I hope the mother gets the mental help she needs and is able to keep her place clean and safe enough to get her child back. What a bad situation.
I hope this young lady feels better soon, it is horrible being anaemic, I hope she gets some iron tablets, as well as topping up her ferritin. That is a hard job you are doing there,Barbie don't overdo it.😊❤😊❤
We all know it is much longer than 6 months
I said in another comment that I think the apartment was already hoarded and the toilet overflowed and wasn’t cleaned up. The mess soaked it up and rot and filth spread and cockroaches were in heaven eating and multiplying and crapping. 😢
@@sandramarc4858The photos must be from when she first moved in. She must be embarrassed. I feel for this woman had her child though. Honesty is the first step to healing and she will work it out with her therapist.
Being anemic is horrible, I have been there, I had absolutely zero energy!!! I was horribly tired also. When you one takes that and adds depression to it, the poor lady had more than a plate full. I really hope thw counseling helps, it usually does, and she gets her baby back and can continue on with a healthy happy life. Thank you, Barbie, for sharing your work and for just doing this much needed work. You are a super hero!!!!!
I dont understand how you dont bring roaches into your own home from these cleanups. That was unbelievable.
I would love it If she would wear a hazmat suit in her videos.
She probably throws her clothes away….b4 she goes in her own house
You deserve an award for this one!
As someone with a hoarder father who was abused as a child I actually think everyone needs to reconsider hoping this mother gets her kids back. No, horders have a high recidivism rate. That baby needs to stay somewhere safe.
Exactly. I don't care if this rubbish hoarding is the mother's fault or not. She clearly not fit to being a mother.
It's not hoarding disorder. She has anaemia a physical illness leaving people with no energy and she simply hasn't been able to take the trash out. Hopefully the hospital are treating the anaemia now and she will recover in time. It's not a mental illness or a character flaw.
@dreamer6943 - she can't take the trash out but can buy lots of things???? If she would be so incapacitated physically she wouldn't be able to move ..But she can move around, going out, buy thinks, put makeup on... Anaemia is not that serious, many people suffer from it, the elderly has got worse physical symptoms than her... She is very lazy or/and has serious mental problems, living in trash is not a sign of physical illness, but something more mental.
Girl, you have patience of a saint!
Wow. This is THE cockroach video. I've had some personal experience with roach infestations in the past. It was so bad we had to keep the lights on in the kitchen all the time because if we did not, then turned the lights back on, every surface would seem to come alive with swarms like in this video. They would even jump off the walls and ceiling in their haste to scatter. I didn't know I had PTSD from this until I started laughing with nervous hysteria while watching you dig up the garbage heap in this apartment. Barbie, you have my utmost respect when it comes to your ability to handle these critters. Random Johnny reacted like any mere mortal when one got under his shirt.
Thank you for just the right amount of cleaning at the back end of the video. I remember when you first got your steam cleaner and it was just the perfect tool for this job. I'm looking forward to the rest of the clean-up.
Thank you Barbie and Random Johnny.
Postnatal depression and anxiety can happen up to 3 years after giving birth,as a nurse i see this so often 😢❤❤
Barbie I have a new found respect for you and your husband. I don’t know how you did this one, it is horrifying to think a woman and her 2 year old live in this squaller. You deserve a medal. 🙋♂️🙏 from Australia
Think about what is occurring in this video. An Eastern European immigrant to the US is using her energy and industriousness to videotape herself cleaning a pig sty. The horror was created by a woman with a toddler but no job. She's on US welfare. Probably an illegal alien invader who is getting Visa cards from NY state. Disgusting. And then the Eastern European immigrant gets paid because so many of us are fascinated with the abomination, and advertisers are able to play ads during the airing of this video ...
I don’t know how people would be able to afford a cleaning like this.. Thank God for you doing this excruciating hard work for free.. most all would be lost without you 😢
The disgusting occupant of this apartment got everything else for free. Barbie says the occupant has no job and no family support. Only possible way that all that stuff is in that apartment is at the expense of the US taxpayer. Heck, US taxpayer might as well pay $4,000 for someone to clean up the filth, too ...
Wow Barbie you are so amazing helping desperate people in terrible situations. I bet this lady can’t thank you enough for your help 💞
Please do not attempt to clean and reuse appliances from an apartment that has been this infested with roaches. The bugs will have infiltrated and laid their eggs inside of every nook and cranny of those appliances, and fumigation will have no effect on them since they are protected from the spray.
I told her I didn’t wanna keep it all I wanted a fresh start but she’s too nice lol I’m definitely not using anything in here I’m getting all new stuff even if it’s not 100% brand new I’m also about to start working soon so I’ll be able to afford more
@@Continuingtoheal that's great. Good luck!
At the start of this video, I was really trying to not judge and be open minded about how things got this bad. But the longer I watched this video, the more infuriated I became. The videos where children are involved, always leaves me wondering. Are they getting you to clean the apartment because they want a clean and safe environment for their child to grow up in, or do they simply just want their child back/not want their child taken away? Because if it's the latter, the moment CPS do their rounds/inspection and go, the mess will accumulate ten fold. The same goes for the landlord inspections. I feel the moment the landlord has come around and decides to not kick the tenant out, the pressure is off and it's back to square one. I feel it has to be the person making the mess that really, truly WANTS to change and wants to better their life.
Side note: I am not from the USA, therefor I do not know how CPS works and all the details surrounding it.
Extra side note: if I were her neighbors, I'd be PISSED. You might see some cockroaches moving into your space, you try to take care of it on a small scale, but they keep returning and each time, just more. You can't understand what may be happening and your space is always neat and tidy and you yourself might have kids that you're trying to create a safe and clean space for- only to find out it's your neighbor that's been the cause of all this.
Why do you people get on here to lie this badly the apartment building ALREADY had a roach infestation before my apartment looked ANY kind of way
You said it all, even 3 floors below us we have cockroaches. She claims that there were cockroaches when she moved in, to me that is 99.99% a lie. This building has only been open for 2 years now in December and there were no cockroaches. It is a new building. Now all the neighbors have their cockroaches...they have spread to all the floors. A new and beautiful building infested with cockroaches. I hope this girl does everything she should do for herself and her baby.
@@TamaraRivera-p1x please keep an eye out for the baby and call cps if the flat gets in this state again! I was so angry and anxious by watching the video and reading the mother’s comments but so happy I’ve seen your comment! I really hope there are nice people in that building who will keep an eye out on the situation….
Jeez Barbie you seriously need a medal! That level of roach infestation is the worst one I've seen yet in many years of watching cleaning videos. You did a sterling job so far and I'm impatient to see part 2 next week. Might have to hold my breath and have a sick bucket to hand tho when you tackle that toilet!
That roach problem is part of the ENTIRE building now!!
So UNFAIR
I have lived this, from filthy tenants in same bldg
U can NEVER get rid of them. I had to throw out our furniture, our mattresses, our electronics (they loooove electronics), and boxes of bks. We should have thrown out alllll our clothes. If it ever happens again I will throw out clothes too! But I’m never ever living in a rental again unless it’s single dwelling.
Roach infestation is a horror show. We should have aggressively sued the complex for allowing tenants to be like this. Thousands of dollars of items I threw out!! Besides being forced from an apt FULL of roaches, no choice had to flee finally.
I was just thinking this. Surely when they open the door it throw garbage out, that'd going to spread to neighbours. Really out of order.
New York has the worst cockroach infestation of anywhere in the US. One in six New Yorkers have seen them in their home. They go inside when its cold. So I'm fairly sure she didn't cause the whole infestation there. People need to follow the guidelines of how to prevent an infestation themselves if they don't want them.
@ I was Roch NY
Not NYC
Yep. It’s extremely unfair
Mom was probably depressed and mentally frozen. Bless her. Barbie you are a good person.
She is a power house! So strong to be able to do this work.
Then she should of surrendered her 2 year old willingly.
Mum has anaemia. It's a physical illness leaving people with no energy.
Se definitely needs help, parenting classes also. I think landlords need to do more inspections on there properties then it wouldn't get to this level.
Great job Barbie
They did their yearly inspections in January ofc there was nothing wrong with my apartment then… I also do not need parenting classes for things that were out of my control be so frl
This is definitely more than 6 months worth of not cleaning, I don't think she has cleaned from the day she moved in. Hopefully she can maintain what you do.
At the end of the video, Barbie said she was going to go back and clean up more.
If Barbie is away for 2 or 3 days, and the woman is living in the place, it'll be nasty again when Barbie returns. Awful.
@@brianwilliams7926 that woman will not keep it up, not without significant intervention. Which can take YEARS. my mums like this and has had help and support over the years and it always goes back to being hoarded and dirty. These people rarely change.
If anything, they get used to free cleaning and just hoard it and dirty it up again
Love that it's not just superficial cleaning but Barbie goes out of her way to disinfect everything. She cleans like it were her own home. Amazing work. I can't imagine how tired you were after this.
❤❤❤ I agree.
I truly think this is more than 6 months of hopelessness. I hope mom can be helped.
This took years I think.
Yes, people don't get into a situation like this unless there is a serious problem and they desperately need help. 💔
It wasn’t more than 6 months the trash only been piled that high for at least 8 weeks it took about 6 months for it to build up that way

I am happy you could help. Great job! One thing the system will do is fail these kids. There is no way she should have that child back right now. She needs a mental evaluation. She also need the case to stay open for at least a year.
Glad to hear the Mum is in therapy now. I hope she can get well ❤

I don't have words enough to tell you how much I admire and respect you, Barbie. What is very obvious to me is that as hard and unpleasant as the jobs you take on are, you have a unique and special gift from GOD to see these people who are struggling so bad that they are barely hanging on to their lives and then you get in there and you begin improve their surroundings and their lives. It's so amazing what you do and the things you are willing to do for others. Prayers for you and prayers for this lady and her little boy. 🙏 Wishing her better days ahead and you've certainly given her a huge head start on that. Good job 👏 ❤ 💕

Underneath all of that it is actually quite a nice apartment. It’s definitely one of the nicest ones I’ve seen you clean. Gee it’s a big help when you have random Johnny help you. It was hilarious when he had a roach go in his clothes.😂 Another big but fantastic job done again Barbie. You rock. 🤘 ❤🇦🇺🦘🐋
OMG. No one should live like this. Humans or pets. I don't know how you do it. Amazing work.
Imagine the amount of cockroaches her neighbors are going to have to deal with?!? How can a 2yrs old baby live in this condition?! Thank God someone called CPS!
Watching this video of Barbie makes me want to cry.😢 Not for the mother who ruined the renovated apartment, but for you. You jeopardized your health (and your back) by shoveling and exterminating heaps of garbage alongside swarms of disease-ridden roaches that infested the rooms. I was torn between feeling empathy or resentment towards the tenant who clearly struggles emotionally. However, it's heartbreaking to see your willingness to help by providing a clean and deodorized apartment could endanger you physically🤦♀. Thank goodness🙏 your friend was there to assist with the task. Your incredible endurance is truly admirable😇, and I hope that after completing such an impressive job, the mother will value your efforts and maintain the apartment's cleanliness at all costs for her child's sake. Your dedication to this extensive endeavor, Barbie, is worthy of considerable praise and recognition.👏😄
_AMEN!!_
Very well said, excellent!!

It takes a special kind of person to do what you do! You are a shining star!!
Fabulous job, Barbie. You are the best !!

Lady your amazing. You are hands down the best cleaner I ever seen. I just can’t see how anyone can live like that.😢
Oh that‘s disgusting … 🤢
The poor mom and baby. Things don’t get this bad without a reason.
I hope she‘s in good care and finds a community to support her and the baby can be safe with her again.
They don’t say „It takes a village to raise a child“ for nothing.
This comment made me tear up but I have ❤the work program I got into makes me feel so much better about myself than I have for a while although depression can take a lifetime to cure I feel a little better knowing my life is slowly getting better and in the place I’ve tried so hard to get to❤
I would only be angry (and upset) if the child were still living in these conditions without social services and mental health being involved to monitor the conditions and protect the child. What you did here is nothing short of heroic. Much respect, Barbie. Edit: What “happened” is that she got caught and turned in to Social Services.
My God Barbie looked like a landfill God love you for the difference in people's lives may many blessings bestowed on you❤
I suspect she had postnatal depression and at that point thought she would be okay to go off her meds?
Landfill is cleaner
God bless you Barbie! I pray Mom and child really get the HELP they NEED!!! None should live in those conditions-NOONE!!!
Barbie, you are her fairy godmother! This is so kind of you! You are truly giving her a new way of life for her and her baby!
Social Workers need to VISIT this place once a week to make sure it stays clean . Unbelievable amount of pests in there. how on earth could you let it come this far..
The apartment building already had an infestation of roaches in other apartments
@@ContinuingtohealSuuuure. was all that garbage you threw around there already too?
You guys are angels for this women. Thanks for your work 💪💗
Lazy is not taking the trash out until you're going outside next time. Or leaving the Dishes for tomorrow. This is what Depression can look like! Good on Mommy for asking you to help her!
This is such a sad story to hear. Barbie, you did an excellent job of cleaning up for a single mother. This task was very difficult, but you're able to accomplish your goal, and for that I thank you. Hope you've an wonderful day! Stay warm in this cold weather! 💛💛💛💛💛
Clap Clap, Clean with Barbie. I can’t wait until next week. As always a perfect job. How wonderful to have the exterminator come. That makes a fabulous difference. This seems like a newer apartment with quality cabinets, countertops, and appliances. You made it new again! 🧤💙
You are a brave and determined woman. God bless
Сколько живу, не видела такого количества тараканов. Барби вы сделали титанический труд. Не перестаю восхищаться Вами. Спасибо
Thank you ❤️
Так бывает, когда одинокой женщине не хватает друзей)
You should have also contacted the landlord and charged him a cleaning fee because you helped save his apartment from anymore damage.
You and your husband deserve an award
I'm thankful this child is out of this horrendous situation. And I pray he is getting the love, attention & care he deserves.
He’s had that from me since he was born and even now
@@Continuingtoheal Wrong. No one who loves a child would subject him to those conditions. Filth, disgusting bugs crawling all over him, clutter, disarray, horrid stench. I hope that boy finds a loving home.
@ come beat my ass about it ????
@ and he did find one right where he is rn WITH ME 😂my child never was taken from my custody
@ and there was nothing crawling over him show me a video of that
I keep thinking about the poor little child. The first three years are the most important years for brain development, and this little toddler spent his first 2 in that insane filth. How could he learn to crawl or walk? Where could he play? I didn't see any toys or baby/toddler clothes. I nearly cried when I saw the state of the crib. The mattress was filthy and it was stained even on the base of the crib. I pray he will be developmentally "normal" now he is in clean surroundings, but it takes much more than than that. The mum needs parenting classes at the very least. Does she even know about basic housekeeping?
You are a saint for doing this job. If I had $1 million to give you I would. That house is absolutely deplorable and you and your husband. is single-handedly cleaning this house which is absolutely wonderful
I was concerned the floor would collapse under all that weight. I can't imagine how much your body must have ached after this brutally exhausting work. Thank you as always Barbie, for doing it, and thank you to whoever called the social worker for getting the ball rolling in making a better life for this baby and mom.
Omg Barbi!!!! I cant believe what you did, is amazing. Congrats from Argentina🎉
Barbie you are truly an angel here on earth for your kindness and your hard-working!!!! ❤❤❤
This is the worst one yet Barbie and you keep soldiering on, thank heavens for you!❤
You are a saint! I don’t know how you aren’t haunted by nightmares of bugs crawling on you! I hope you’re taking awesome care of yourself. ❤ you are an absolute blessing to these wonderful people. They must know that you are so special. Not many people can do what you do. It takes someone very special to do your work and especially not be judgmental. To have your level of compassion is amazing. ❤
Thank you ❤️
This video alone is so incredible. Barbie, I hope you get thousands more subscribers!!! You are amazing!!!
