This one weighed heavyyyyyyy wen she said “I still find a reason to smile everyday”. Can we gofund me for her?!
that gets complicated real quick. you just can't give them the Money like that because it could quickly go to none essential things. something will have to help them manage that Money to make sure it goes directly for their basic Essentials and keep track of that.
NATURAL LAW yeah I understand that but he’s done it before with another girl he interviewed and it’s helping her get Stable. Obviously we wouldn’t just chuck a whole load of money at her, We’re not silly we know that the money will need to be regulated as such
@@ggoat3892
really for him I think it's just about Time. I know he's so busy with a lot of things that I don't think he would have the time he wants to fully manage all these Monetary accounts that probably would be created. so if someone else had the Time and plan to be able to manage something like that for a lot of these people then that would of course be Awesome. but yeah you would have to have some Physical connection with them to effectively see this work out I think.
NATURAL LAW Yes, to do a go fund me for one interviewee means I’d have to do one for everyone I’ve interviewed. This becomes problematic beyond belief. The headaches that ensued from Kelly’s campaign are a good example of the potential problems these kind of campaigns can create. It became a full time job handling all the different problems that arise from managing these donations and distributing the funds responsibly. I am still just one person doing all this and losing money doing it, by the way. I simply cannot take on the job of collection and I’m distribution of donated money for one or all of my interviewees. I’ve decided my job will be to create awareness of these stories so that we can become more informed of what’s going on in our country. Rather than falling in love with one individual I’ve interviewed, I’d recommend donating to one of the many organizations qualified to help these kinds of people listed at the ends of my videos. Trust me, there are many thousands more runaways just like Kristina in LA and many more all across the country. These are many ways of helping these people. I simply cannot become the sole savior for each of the almost 2000 individuals I’ve interviewed.
@soft white underbelly. How is it confusing and too much to handle ??? Make a go fund me account and the money that’s being donated to that gofund me acct should be given to the person in need ?? What’s so complicated about that? The ppl you interview need this help. Otherwise nothing will get done for these ppl who need help. We are all just watching 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
She isn’t a runaway to me, she was abandoned, abused and neglected
Very true and very sad
Say that again ‼️
Yeah, having parents who don’t take care of you and then getting trafficked off the street don’t make u a runaway. She was 100% forced into everything she done
Yup🥺🥺
Good comment
She is a child. Every adult in her life has failed her. Im sickened.
😑😑
@@hj6507 in every country not just America
@@ccc-fd3ls yeah and its not okay anywhere. Just a lot of people seem to be extremely and willfully ingorant of it in America.
Her mom's interview was put up few hrs ago..
She's at least 19 or 20 a girl in the comments knows her from a group home.
She’s only 16 and looks 40.
This is probably the best interview I’ve ever seen on this channel, she’s so young and so wise and brutally honest.
Her soul, her story, her honesty, she’s on drugs but her character is incredibly sober and aware.
I was a runaway teen on the streets of skid row and Hollywood and met many people like her and I thank god that I never succumb to the grips of what that life is, I got out but most people I met in those years met much worse fates.
Trauma and drugs have aged her unfortunately. The system, her “family” and everyone has failed her
She can recover. She’s a beautiful girl.
I thought so too she looks 40 may GOd help her
So true. And sad.
I busted out laughing when I read the very first sentence.
Returned to her Interviews after seeing her in the „in the Memory of…“ video. So so sad. Rip
Wait what
Where ?
Send the link
Me too. So sad 😢
What happened to her? How did she die?
She doesn’t look 16, doesn’t act 16, doesn’t think like a 16 year old. My heart breaks for her. She’s worth so much more! Ugh.
My exact thought. She acts atleast in her 20s , so sad never got to be a kid
Totally looks 16. I knew it when she said it. She’s definitely hardened but I see a child. My heart hurts for her too. She never was a child.
Adopt her
Deanna Soriano if only it was that easy..
She had to grow up fast.. real fast
She never cried once. Her story is deep. Can’t believe she’s only 16.
So roughhh
She was crying inside the whole time
Because when your on drugs you have no more feelings it takes you away
Yes it's so sad
Ravaged skin and the raspy voice of someone three times her age. So unbelievably sad.
She’s so raw and authentic. I can see her speaking in college classroom she is someone everybody can learn from.
What the fuck is anyone going to learn from this steaming shit heap?
@@asifitmatters1 what is your problem.
@@kayannbak3944 look in the mirror, that’ll answer your question!
@@asifitmatters1 corny
@@asifitmatters1 loser
I came here because of the video of the people who passed away. She seemed much older than 16 because she had to grow up fast. Beautuful girl.
So am I. Blown away because I didn’t realize I had seen this one and didn’t recognize her in the RIP video. I can’t even. Everyone failed her. May she rest in peace.
Sometimes we don't realize how fortunate we are growing up. I hope things get better for her.
Absolutely. I whinge about shit that doesn't matter. I had the best upbringing. The most supportive, solid family. Ive never gone without. Never felt unloved. I am so blessed. So lucky. You are so right!
Exactly.Especially kids who grew up with both of their parents.That are very supportive and loving.And they just took it for granted.I myself came from a broken family.Didn't grow up with both of my parents around.I envy seeing a complete family tho.
@@1211jinx I grew up without a father. He didn't give a shit about us. I was raised by a single mother. But there was nothing broken about my family. It was never perfect. Lots of mess ups. My mum made lots of mistakes but I never felt unloved. Ever. I never went without. Ever. So I still think I'm so very lucky.
@@AK-uj3cc Good for you then.And I admire the fact that you appreciate what you have.I salute single mother s tho.I didn't grow up having both my mother and father.Just my grandparents.Life wasn't that easy for us and was really tough since they were really poor.But I still strived to better myself through education and fortunately they provided me with tender love and care.But still when I see kids with their parents I couldn't help myself but feel envy tho.It's not something that just goes away or fade even if I'm a grown up now.The feeling of yearning for parent's presence and affection is still within me.
These videos are soo eye opening and make me appreciate life because honestly it’s heartbreaking. I love his Chanel it’s definitely made me look at him less people different.
She’s literally in survival mode, this girl needs help. She’s still a minor. Lord somebody help her. Get her in a shelter. Get her a program. She’s still a child. It breaks my heart
Yess I was so surprised when she said 16🥺
Sunayya Ali O my god I hope so , poor little girl
Bitch why don't u
Talking bout someone help her? Bitch duh u stating the obvious why dontcu
@@mrfitz2230 you do it then and stop being rude tf
Her voice at 16 has the age of a 65 year old woman who has lived a hard life. This is heartbreaking, I can’t believe this is happening within hours of me.
Smoking meth kills burns voice box…. Think Lindsey Lohan
then go pull up yo big girl pantyzzzz and help her
I watch this channel everyday to remind myself that my life has very little problems. God bless these people and their interviews.
Same..I am literally binge watching...just started watching this channel yesterday
thats the point
@@nestleblack9468 watch atlant street interviews u look like ull like it
As my own 15yo daughter lies on her bed and is reading a book in a safe home , clean clothes and a full tummy it breaks my heart that this little doesn’t have those simple thing that every little girl should. My maternal instinct makes me want to hug her, take her home and give her the same, simple, basic opportunities. It is hard to for me to believe in the concept of hell when this child, who didn’t ask to be born into this, is living hell. We have to do better. She.is.a.little.girl!
Do it go help her
This little? Shes a human a girl
My feelings EXACTLY! My daughter is 14, in the next room on her laptop taking EXTRA classes to fill time while our schools are out, meanwhile, this little girl has no one decent enough to care for her & get her to school ALL ALL. I’ve reached out to see if I can send her a care package somehow, with clothes, toiletries, books, makeup, backpack, luggage, etc. But I feel the same way you do; I just want to grab her up & show her that she deserves love & care just for being her. Heartbreaking 💔💔💔
Was just thinking the same thing 💔
Mine just finished Freshman year, and wakes me up to the things we all belly ache about - dumbass inconveniences. This poor baby girl 😭
WELL SAID 💔
She’s 16 with an ancient soul and the voice of a wounded little girl.
Kristina is very intelligent and insightful; the way she is able to communicate is amazing for someone her age. I think she has potential to be a great writer. There are organizations out there to help her and I hope she gets the help she needs - bless you Kristina! I will be thinking of and praying for you 🙏❤️
The voice might be due to the smoking :(
SHAT THA FACK AAAAPPPP!
Exactly what I get from her, kids like her ought to be taken care of before we worry about illegal immigrants who come to this country. Why not take care of little girls and boys like her first
She looks 36
I think this is one of the most intense interviews so far, her stoic tearless hardness contrasted with her words and eyes revealing her deep inner pain, anguish, hopelessness and abandon. The evil this girl has seen in her short life has fortunately and unfortunately given her a wisdom beyond her years, though she was also blessed with an old soul to begin with. Without that old soul, she would already be dead. This country has been on a path of implosion for a long time now, the longer we coddle the billionaires and entitled classes, and abandon and condemn the poor, the sooner this powderkeg blows. The USA exemplifies, condones and even celebrates predatory capitalism, this will be our downfall.
100%. Spot on.
So true.
Heartbreaking ❤️🩹 God I wish I could take her in and raise her she was given a bad hand of cards
This
That’s the result of MS initiation.
"Animals don't even do what we do"
That is STONE COLD but so true on so many levels.
🙏 for you girl!
this girl really made me humbled myself. i’m 19 years old and I thought I had it “hard” but, I haven’t went through shit. I hope someone helps her.. soon. she doesn’t deserve this life.
at all 💔
Stfu
Same... bless her
MsXfusion why
I was lucky enough to learn that years ago. There is always someone who had it worse ALWAYS!
"How was your childhood?" this is her childhood.
Right?
Yeah true. But I think he meant 6-13 years old
Period.
Exactly
I hate when people comment on these kids’ videos like “they have such an old soul” like no they dont. they’re children
It’s ashamed she passed away at such a young age while only knowing a tough life. She’s only 16 here and looks twice her age! RIP❤
Do you know how she passed away? I can’t find the cause
@@ShiestyApeI’m wondering the same thing
Fentanyl overdose according to subscription channel comments from mark 😢
She speaks wise beyond her years. You can tell she’s been through a lot and seen so much for only being 16. Broke my heart.
I hope she ends up happy.
Moronic beyond words!
@@asifitmatters1 what loony bin did u escape from
@@asifitmatters1 You dumb fuck you're on everyone's post!
Why would ask that Minerva
nothn is wise about this
She's lowkey crying for help. Her situation is dangerous, she needs serious help.
No it’s high key dangerous those gangs are sick they are rapped up In human trafficking with kids and every thing and just killing people for no reason I’m serious these gangs need to be drafted shipped over to Iraq they wanna kill we’ll make it for a good cause
Nothing low key about it. She straight up said it. She's ready to get out. Alot of people aren't.
always.more.44. me I believe she would make it if someone gave her a helping hand! She wants it bad! I wish there was a way I could help her!
This is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. She’s so young and smart, I hope she gets the help and love she deserves
Definitely 😰
This one hurt...she is extremely articulate and speaks beautifully....but looks weathered and has been beaten down to her core....there's a beauty about her that i can't explain. Baby girl is an old soul, she's weary and wants rest.
You're right
She’s had it hard 😢
this is probably the most intense interview i’ve seen. she’s so hardened to the point where she’s above it. seems almost weirdly mature for her age
I knew this young woman for about five years, she was always good to me and I personally witness her be extremely giving and kind to people on the street.She carried a great deal of pain with her because of the cards life dealt her and the decisions she made but she had a good heart. Unfortunately and sadly she is no longer with us, R.I.P.
What happened?!
Any idea what happend?
I lived in a group home with this girl she was my roommate she was so kind to beautiful to me she used to sing and write to me and others She story is so true. She would always comfort others when they were down. Such a beautiful soulllllllll my heart hurts
where is she mainly?
A P wdym I honest wish I know to help her in the video it says skid row
@@romanpetway6417 just wish i could specifically find her and help, been through lots of rough stuff myself and sometimes all it takes is 1 person to genuinely care as you understand
What’s her name ?
Candy Caine Karina not Christina sis
the “kobe” just shows she’s a child and it hurts me
What exactly did she mean when she said tht? Thnks
@@eligonzalez3234 she threw the cigarette inside the 🗑 as if Kobe made a basket 🏀. Just my opinion.
Elizabeth Gonzalez she threw the cigarette in the trash can from a bit far away and she made it. Just like Kobe Bryant, he can make it into the hoop from far. This is little kid talk basically.

Is that you
Was expecting her to cry but she's all cried out. She literally has a callous in her soul. She's hardened to the core.
No truer words have been said, dude. Tragic.
It’s a shell, she’s in there somewhere
At such a young age.
Callous.....yes 💔
Hard surface is there for a reason I think she has some softness in her soul she just needs to find her people and place in this world and it will be reawakened. She is living with wolves and feels a lot of insecurity and has to protect herself.
For a young girl who finished school so early she's very articulate, wise beyond her years. I hope life takes a better road for her.
I always see this response with these young girls on these tragic videos. I’m amazed that these girls are still alive considering their circumstances. They speak like the streets have taught them. Such a sad situation
This is my street daughter. Her real name was Karina and she just passed away. It hurts to hear her voice. I love and miss her very much!
can I send you gofundme?
Passed away how ? I know her she went to school in the IE
That's utterly devastating news.
@@Kay_Watermelon she’s lying
Can you please share with us how she passed away? Please reply. Thank you.
You can tell she’s intelligent by the words she chooses.
Yes ... she’s a child that was never able to be a child. Her soul is tired... I feel so deeply sad for her.
And you can tell because she stops and seriously Thinks about what she’s going to say and how she’s going to say it. She takes her time
Or she just words her shit articulately
Except when she said the N word. Bleh.
@Talaijah Murphy - Yes, streetwise and intelligent, and messed and muddled up, goodness bless her soul.
I sit here and BINGE watch these videos. Knowing that I’m moving to Cali in a few months. I HAVE to do something to help. I just have to!!! Please lord put me in a position to help.
I need help, you can help me!
What you do it get her out of cali because noone needs to be there
I feel the same way!!
First off, fuck Christianity, second off, you ain't gotta do that. But, you should definitely try. Don't say "put me imma position" , instead say "I'm going to put myself here. "
yellow goose if you are an atheist that is your thing but don’t say fuck christianity just because you want to say that .. respect others people religion and thinking .. wth wrong with people nowadays 🙄
Never realized how privileged I am.like I used to think my life was so bad. I got a good education parents who loved me and support me .my depression is nothing compared to what she’s going through she’s going through it and I hope she gets out of this
Just praying for this young soul and her child...there is so much depth to her...her story is massive and should be told on so many levels. I really hope there are many more follow-ups...
She’s just a baby. Her mom needs to be in jail for child neglect.
Child protective services sell kids to the wealthy..... Not any better
Her parents need serious time for allowing this to happen.
This is her mother. th-cam.com/video/uWsFENEfQaE/w-d-xo.html
Her mama gave up all her rights once she gave her to the System!! Everybody Let’s this child down ... but she is still young in can get help
That's the typical reaction from people, give bad people prison. It's harder to help people right?
We need help more and not make it worst, everyone has different mindset and life experiences and if you put a wrong person in prison it will make it worst. Sounds like her mother went through the same thing and can parent the same way she was treated as a child.
this is one of the most intelligent conversations i've heard on here. she's only 16 but is very eloquent and able to think clearly and say impactful things.
She is amazing. She could be a scholar, like Cornel West.
Very true!! She needs a movie based on her experience and eloquence
Brunette Beauty I started where she is and am very near the end of a Master’s program. There are no losers, only people who need help.
Such a smart girl with so much potential. I hope she gets the help she needs to do great things.
nothn is smart about her are u retorttedddd
Oh my goodness me!
This was raw! So so sad!
I love how honest this kid is. I can actually FEEL her emotions!
Mark, you’re absolutely amazing with what you’re doing! I salute you! Liverpool UK 🇬🇧 x
shes a writer, her choice of words are so powerful. She’s 16…..like this is the world we in!
Next time you judge a homeless person remember how easily it could be you.
Dave Christan because it’s not “bad decisions” like assholes always pretend. Everyone acts like “well, they’ve done something WRONG and that’s why they’re where they are. I’d never be in that position because I don’t DO that!”
But that’s bullshit. This little girl didn’t make a bad decision, she was born into shit. Born into a situation where she had no choice in getting here. She was abandoned by everyone before she could walk, she was on the streets at 12. All it would’ve taken for that to be you is for your birth to have been different. Such a slight change and you’d be sitting on that fucking stool right now.
k s 100% true. This is my worst fear.
It's so true. Life can and will fuck you up in the blink of an eye. I'm proof of that. This girls story breaks my heart. I can't say that I'm going through what she's going through but I'd rather be dead than alive. 15 years ago I became very sick with the highest ranking pain condition in medical history. Everyone I counted on left me. I'm not going to be here much longer. This poor girl has said a lot of the things I've said. I've never been through the cruelty she's been through though. And she's right......no one understands until it's them going through the situation. I pray she finds happiness.
@@moosessurus8172 and some people work but they just can't make enough money. Some people, like me become sick and can't work anymore and can't take care of themselves. Some people are just a paycheck away of not being able to pay their rent. It's not that simple to say, well all homeless people must be drugs addicts or low lives.
Everyone is one choice away!
Omg....I want so much more for her!!! Out of the 20 or so interviews I've watched, her story hurts the most. Literally, a knife in my heart.
I’m about to turn 16 and this is so heartbreaking to me. I couldn’t imagine even one of these stories let alone having to deal with every single one. She says is so calmly and honestly. Really puts “normal teenage issues” into perspective. I really hope with everything in my soul that she’s given a chance to be safe and happy.
“The only dream I probably got is to just be happy” was such an impactful statement
That’s my dream too
She’s 16 but her battle scars make her look older and tired! This is beyond heartbreaking
Also the drugs

Came here after the In Memory Of video
I just can’t get over the part Mark asks her, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”
“Idk probably dead”
Well, she was right.
It’s ridiculous that we live in a society where 16 year olds have scars from their neck being cut open and don’t think they’ll make it to their 20s especially because it’s a world where they turn out to be right.
I never thought that it was even possible for a 16 year old to have the kind of disparagement and pain and defeat in her eyes as Kristina does here.
Everybody failed her and I do believe death was probably the kindest thing that ever happened to her.
Rest in paradise, Kristina 🤍
How could they arrest a child and let her back out on the streets to be abused and neglected? Another poor soul the system has failed. We need to do better. I hope we can get an update on this girl...
Since they put her kid in foster care they should have put her in a home too, she’s a kid too
my jaw dropped when she said she was 16... i’m 17, i couldn’t imagine living that way, i pray she find a way out! how can we help her?
By organizing a group of men to find the pieces of sub human filth who is pimping this child out and abusing her, and having him dealt with like he should be. Dead right there on the spot. And than move on to the other children this is being done too.
Please pray for her and everyone else that needs love
@@ballzmcgee9585 exactly
And also bring her to real rehab institution and ho will help her and we need to be able to afford that for her too because she obviously has no support. Sad.

This could be any of us. When parents don't care for their children and leave them into the world, the wolf prey upon the innocent.
True
Yep. And when they abuse and mistreat their own kids, they set them up for every last abusive asshole that comes along. That’s a huge part of their “Legacy,” but you listen and these “parents” whine about how their kids apparently failed to “kid” correctly-not that *they failed spectacularly at parenting*-while awarding themselves and their fellow abusers/sympathizers endless Michelin Parenting Stars.
The kids are in the best position to correctly assess their “motherly ministrations” as they are on the receiving end of their “Wonderful,” “Brilliant” Parenting. In what other endeavor does one get to bang on about how “excellent” they are and expect to be believed instead of those on the receiving end of their “excellence?” NOT ONE. Even animals can eclipse the Parenting Bar these people set for themselves-a bar the “parents” set so low an ant could trip over it.
So true

She is an amazing human, intelligent, real and still keeps faith.
Thank you, man. Really, thank you. I'm an ex addict, it's been 4 years clean and this histories just made me feel in some way related and in peace with myself but at the same time i feel a profound sadness cause i know what it feels to be in their shoes.
So much love for this girl, btw she's my daughter's age.

...."and I wonder how would they look at me, if they knew what I've been through". Those words were like a dagger in my heart

"Are you depressed?"
"Yea. But you don't show it. It's a sign of weakness and that's when people prey on you the most."
Profound.
I can’t stomach this...At 16 years old she knows that she’s going to die soon and not live a long life. This is sad her mother was on drugs so she had to go through the system. The foster care system in California doesn’t care about these children they place them wherever instead of screening the foster parents that their placed with. Once their 18 they become homeless with no home, education, or work that will guide them to be successful. She’s very intelligent and has more common sense than the average person she just needs guidance. I pray that god continues to watch over her and provide the necessities that she needs to get off the streets. To the guy recording this video I would like to send her some clothes, food, etc. Maybe I can look into some programs here in California for her.
@KrissyM, @SoftWhiteUnderbelly, I am also interested in sending her some essentials. Clothes, toiletries, makeup, books, a backpack and/or an easy-to-transport carry-on style suitcase, etc. @KrissyM, If you receive any info on how to get a package to her, could you please let me know so that I can help out as well? @SoftWhiteUnderbelly, @KrissyM, please feel free to message me via Instagram @jjessthelleigh or email jjesslleigh@icloud.com Thank you both for being kind & for taking the time to read this comment. -JessA
This comment needs more attention bro
I’m down to help as well My heart is broken
Sadly it ain't just Californias system... the system is shit all across the country. I would send clothes, monthly feminine supplies, shoes, blankets, money for food, water, maybe shelter. Unfortunately any cash she gets would probably be taken by the ppl in her life.
california is a deeply fucked up i live there but blessed to live the life i have, bless the cities with the youngins in the struggle
seeing someone my age, it’s truly heartbreaking and unfair how i grow up with a nice childhood and she never even got one. she isn’t a runaway, she was abandoned and she’s doing the only things she thinks she can do to stay alive. she’s a survivor and i hope she can get herself out of there❤️
these videos need to be shown in high schools/ middle schools so the ones acting out out of being spoiled/ wanting attention/ popularity/ sex all the time can learn that they have the privilege of choice when many do not and to uplift their peers because they never know what they may be going through ❤️
This poor girl never had a chance. This makes me thankful for my parents who I always thought were too overprotective.
This is one of the most heartbreaking interviews I’ve seen. She said “I just wanna be happy.” Lord please heal this soul 🙏🏿
She’s lived nothing but traumatic experiences over and over in her short 16 years. She’s so beautiful and so brave by doing this interview. I hope to God she’s ok today.
BIGGEST SHOCK WAS WHEN SHE SAID SHES 16..... she looks like she’s in her 30’s
Yes she looks older for sure
Shook me
40's even
@@reginafigueroa7942 you trippin
@@Gynajones-vk8gj no she doesn't lmao
Omg she literally sounds like a 50 year old women that is actually so sad 🥺💔 Poor girl never had a chance. Someone help this girl
You are in my heart and prayers from this moment on. You are heard, you are seen, and we care. Bless you and I pray you are happy all the time because you deserve more than that could be said.
Hi Kristina. You are loved. You are heard. You are seen. Your past does not own you or hold you captive. Your trauma is not you. You are a strong and you are worthy. You will not be forgotten. Your soul will be restored here on earth.
‘Everybody sees me and people think I’m fine’. This from a 16 year old. Wow. This is the reality of so many people in life, appearances are so deceiving and conceal so many inner feelings/issues that really need to be talked about. There is history behind every soul, so much more to everyone than what you see in a glance or a brief moment in time. This kid, jeez what a life.
I was just telling my friend this today
I’d look at her and immediately know she definitely wasn’t fine. As a mother and someone very knowledgeable about drugs, it would take less than a second to look at her and know she needs help. Take drugs out of the the equation and she’s still a lost little girl, dirty and homeless, needing a family and some guidance. I don’t think ppl actually look at her and think she’s ok. But what can anyone do in her circle of ppl to help her. Most ppl she’s around can’t even help themselves
😓
Teens living on the streets truly shows what a broken society we have.
Big Time! 🤦♀️
This was so sad. This girl needs to be given a chance. The world may be a cruel place, but it's up to each one of us to make it a better place by doing little acts of kindness wherever possible.
This young girl has raised herself from ashes. She is undoubtedly intelligent, witty, brave, and challenged in so many ways. She could flourish with the appropriate assistance and guidance. It is never too late to help anyone. Her story makes your heart heavy if you have a pulse.
She’s not a runaway. She is a girl who is left without a choice. This is so sad.😔❤️
😢😢😢 my son is 16, he’d have no idea what to do to survive. This is so heartbreaking.
Because taking drugs is not a choice????
Me too and I don't know what to do
She is so hardened, such a survivor. Life has dealt her nothing but pain and trauma. Just 16, how heartbreaking. I wish a beautiful future for her.
😥
“Just to be happy”🥺 “ “..and when you’re weak is when people prey on you the most” “their ain’t no friends out here...” “animals don’t even do what we do” at least she knows not to trust anyone I’m 18 myself & I wish I could help her I wish to just be happy myself 🥺but these words should not be coming from a 16 year old this is so sad, these interviews, the hurt in their voice. She knows what’s going on is wrong she wants to runaway so badly but she can’t...it’s heartbreaking thank you Mark for taking the time to talk to these individuals and letting us listen to their stories💛 it’s such an eye opener for everyone. I think to myself wow we live so close to each other, close to the same age but yet our lives are so different...
She spoke some words beyond her years. I hope she finds her way in life, Kristina is a beautiful young woman who deserves so much more than she is living. She could advocate and help others. I hope she finds something that takes her out of this life. Love you, Kristina
This girl is a poem in a body. Everything she says is deep, full of emotion yet inspiring to those who are in the haves. She inspires me because someone who literally has been through hell still has faith. Yes, she inspires me to be a better mom, and a better person. Thank you and I truly hope she gets some help. Id like to help in some way if there is a gofundme for this person.
Wow well said I love that❤❤❤
Good way to put. “Poem in a body”
She was a lil cocky when she came in. Her armour was in place. And as the conversation turned darker you could see her confidence leave her like air slowly leaking out of a tire. And by the time the interview was done she was curled up into herself. Defeated. Looking so much younger than when she came in.Nothing happy in this poor little girl's life. Nothing to look forward to. Truly a tragedy of violent existence. My heart bleeds for her. I wish for her to be able to turn her life would turn around. Life is not perfect, but it shouldn't hurt.
😭 this poor baby girl
Couldn't have said this any better.
I have been watching your videos for a yr straight and I am so happy that you get to do something like this! Even giving them a platform to be real and not hold back. I have many family members unfortunately that are ppl like this, just not 12 or even 16. It broke my heart to hear her talk of her experiences, at 48 I have never, thankfully been through any of what she has! Thank you for helping and by giving ME & THE WORLD an in-site into what we as “normal” none drug addicted human being what it really is out there. U r very blessed my friend continue to spread the love!
She’s 16! I think about when I was 16 and our lives couldn’t me more different. Every teenager should watch her interviews when they think they have it bad. This girl is a BABY! I pray with everything in me that she finds her way out and finds TRUE HAPPINESS with people who love her for all that she is and can be. Poor baby:(
She's sharp as a tack. She's stoic and street smart. While her mother seems so out of it, in denial, in her own fantasy, Kristina is acutely aware of who she is and how life is because she had no choice but to see it as it is. She never had the luxury of having a childhood, stable family environment or a healthy intimate relationship. She's seen people killed in front of her eyes. She was almost killed multiple times. She's seen the absolute worst of humanity and she is only sixteen years old. When she talks about the things she has seen she gets that thousand yard stare characteristic of those with post traumatic stress disorder. No child should have her face aged by the harshness of life the way hers has been.
Where did you see her mom?
This is such a diane comment
Wtf childhood is NOT a luxury that’s the crap thinking that makes people think abandonment and turning the other cheek is ok
Stoic?? Lol
She’s a fucking mess dude, don’t romanticise this garbage, the kids life is a god damn tragedy.
When people see me they look at me with disgust, "I wonder how they would look at me if they knew what I been through". Deep
That got me too. Poor baby girl. She deserves better.
I know I hope someone buys her a beautiful house as , she’s been thou abit of what I have and there is noo help, soo please help her she’s showing her face so she must be really low plz plz help her
Deep
It's a very helpless feeling when you're under 18. I went through similar things in my teens. I have scars on the same arm. I survived. I hope she survives and makes it out of the life.
Please help her .. now I’ve watched every single video and this one had me in tears .. her innocence .. this girl never stood a chance ... breaks my soul
These are the interviews that need to be shown in high school health class
Fully agree
No they don’t. Why expose the youth to this king of steaming shit heaps? You don’t tell your toddler to taste the dog shit in the park, so that he knows it tastes bad.
@@asifitmatters1 no but you can show them a vid
@@lizzie404 pointless.
Facts agree
16 going on 40. It's in her eyes. She's been thru too much at her age.
I’m sitting here mad I gotta take the bus to work and they took my car she literally said u think u got problems with a job that woke me tf up u got problems but nothing like hers I should be more grateful I’m glad I came across this video my God 🙏🏽
If there is one person I believe needs the most help on this channel it's this young girl
I’m 25 and I honestly would adopt her just to give her a better life. No one should go through the pain she’s in.
I'm 26 and I'm thinking the same thing. Where is she? She has so much worth and so much potential. I want to help I her achieve that happiness 🥺
I’m not sure where you live but you should check out your nearest city’s foster care system. They’re always looking for good people to help to prevent situations exactly like this. There are local children who need your help today. I hope you’re able to get matched up with a local organization and do some good. 💙
@@amypendergrass6461 I don't think we would qualify for a foster home, honestly. We have the love and resources to help out and we have an extra bedroom in our home but again, we're a household full of hippies. Our parents smoke weed with us on the daily so I don't think we could legally be a household that's ideal for children. But we have so much love to share, I hope we are able to help someone out
Cindy Canton I’m 18 and instead of having my own I’m looking to adopt in the future.
Me too :/
“Kobe” 😭 I’m sorry but i loved that moment
Right when i read this she said it😂
BOUT A BAG SAME omg
Right when she said that, I read this
I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO CUTE. I SAY THE SAME EVERY TIME I MAKE A SHOT TOO.
Same sis
can't believe she passed away.
This is one of the deepest, saddest, most devastating videos I have seen on here and that is saying alot. I' m watching it for the second time. Prayer up.
