I can honestly understand the good that imagine this "Pretty Woman" kind of ending but I see that as also taking advantage. These women have very little chance to get out of this kind of life. It's just so so sad.

@@duawanmills1607 ur answer is the only smart one. She needs to release. This young girl is in pain. She's been through a really tough time. The folks on this thread made dumb comments about her interview. Glad u didn't. Respect 2u.
Honestly I think if you listen to her mothers story it would be completely different I think she’s playing victim but I think a parent was trying to help her if you listen carefully she contradicts herself couple of times makes no sense
Mark, this is the one person you need to find real help for far away from LA. She is a smart, caring person. She is not destroyed by drugs yet. She can be saved. She should be saved. Please, save her.
Agreed. I wonder how we could get this under control? I mean I think maybe making it illegal to have kids if you're a drug user, but, how do you really enforce that? Maybe you have to put up 200k before being allowed to have a kid or something, and you get that back with interest, but it shows the parent can at least take care of the kid. I realize these are crazy ideas with lots of issues, but, just throwing stuff out there - we need something dramatic.
@@commanderrussels2612 yea but then the child would just go to the system and that’s where the abuse always happens at. My old friend was in the system she was only 5 when she got her first std.
Man, they are not her family. Family don't do that. They abandoned that girl. They got rid of her and kept making excuses as to why she couldn't come back in actuality they never wanted her there. This is so sad.
Exactly cuz thats just what it sound like!.... them damn people don't care about that girl not even a little bit...she could get killed 6 times by some crazy ass person out there and they mad at her for not showing up for a dinner or 2?....naw with her gone that's just one less person they gotta deal with they have a clique and don't wanna let her in that's all....I wish I could throw some hot grease on all they asses for her
i know right, they made her feel like she had to keep doing certain tasks in order for her family to want her and include her but in all her efforts they never changed
No. She said they invited her to multiple family gatherings but she declined because she believed there would be an underlying tension. She said things would appear to be ok but she would feel like there is still resentment from her family. She said her sisters wants her to get help. I'm sorry for being brutally honest here but she doesn't want to hold herself accountable for her actions. If her family abandoned her, they would not be inviting her anywhere at all. They wouldn't even answer her phone calls or want better for her. She admitted to going back to the same man who conflicted the relationship between her and her mother. The interviewer asked her what is she going to do after the interview and her answer was "getting down" again while laughing. I'm sorry for how her life turned out but until she can be able to hold herself accountable, she's her own worst enemy. She has to admit her faults to herself. She has to admit her own part in her own self destruction.
@@redward18 no.. the program she was staying in wasnt rehab, she went there for her childhood trauma. when she turned 18 she didn’t want to stay there anymore and finish the program which is understandable. her family never wanted her back home, they made it seem like she had to do a bunch of extra shit just to be able to come home. this put her in a situation where she was homeless and turned to the streets. the only family member who was trying to get her back home was her mom, and everytime her mom asked the rest of them they said they didn’t want her home. they didn’t invite her to their moms burial, and excluded her from a lot of important shit, so yes the life she chose is her decision but you can’t rly blame her
She didn’t wanna leave the interview, she enjoyed opening up and venting. It hurts cause you can see she’s still going through all of that emotion. I hope she finds her way, you can tell her heart is pure yet bruised.
As a Social Worker this really made me remember the saying "If we don't raise our Kids the Street will " She really just needs Love and a good support system.
Our entire child protective services have failed so many of these children! Just about every story I have listened to has failure of the child protective system.
@@GiGiM-1114 this channel is focused mostly on stories of lost souls, so it makes sense that they will able be failures of the system. doesnt mean the system didnt work for others
@@conscioussouthernsoul I've been a Social Worker for 5 years now. I had a Bachelors Degree in basic Psychology and found a 2 year Masters Degree program at UCF here in Florida. I'm sure your degree field would transfer. Good Luck we can do anything through recovery !
@@stevouknow8408 Yes we can and thank you! 😊 I work at an Emergency Shelter for children whom are in the system an I'd witness so much while working there. I had this one adolescent whom did drugs with mom and that broke my heart. I can't have children so my husband and I are looking into adoption. It hurts my heart so much seeing all these Children's in the system because of the hands of their parents. Some people shouldn't be aloud to have children and yet I can't. That's why I want to work as a Social Worker besides so many are needing homes.
The interviewer hardly spoke during this interview, she just needed someone to talk to and let all her pain out. She’s only 20 years old and has gone through it all. I hope she finds healing and help.
I know 2 girls personally, who work in this business. One of them is coming from a "prostitute family" and the other one was raised "normally". They aren't such emotional wrecks, like this girl... I feel sorry for her. 😨
This girl had this shit rehearsed she knew everything she was going to say don’t be so gullible in two years from 18 to 20 she went through that much come on I don’t believe all the shit she saying LMAO
I live in New Orleans. If you want an escape out of this life, my door is open to you and I'll do my best to help you get back on your feet. I lost my mom too. I drowned my sorrows to escape facing the nightmare. I know how you feel girl. if u see this, I'm dead serious. I'll get you a flight out of there and help you!!!
The fact that she opened up so quickly. She's really alone she really wanted and needed to talk to someone about her life and her story. She's so smart I'm hoping she gets the help that she needs. She's crying for help so bad. She's desperately trying to get up a hill in a car with little gas she just needs to get over that hilltop and realize how good life is. Even tho life is painful it's beautiful. Your body isn't worth $60,000 it's priceless and you have so much worth Selena.
Yess exactlyy like how she said she would have to realize she doesn’t have her mom if she gets out, even so, it would be way better to get out of that lifestyle and be able to feel her emotions and live her life, I hope she gets help too💕
Please interviewer!! Give this young lady some help! She should not leave this interview without having somewhere safe to go. Praying for you Selena 🙏🏾
This poor girl was born to a meth addict mother, molested by her grandparents, witnessed abuse in her home, sent away, shunned by her family then sexually, physically & mentally abused only to be told she needs to seek treatment if she wants to have a relationship with her family. May she find the love & support she needs. I want to hug her so tight ❤
Hearing her story brought tears to my eyes.. I want to give her a hug to. She’s a sweet little soul, she’s known nothing but pain, sorrow and suffering . Good bless her🙏🏼
@@poisonivyheart6621 ditto. literally just described her with that identical terminology in a reply above prior to seeing your comment. Sweet Soul. poor thing god damn. 😥

It's a sad thing whenever people feel like they must apologize for crying. There is nothing to apologize for. People owe YOU an apology. So many people.
after watching so many of your videos, this one hurt me the most. shes so well spoken and her heart seems so pure. i see so much potential in her. truly wishing better for her
This is how America rolls. And kids are coming across the boarders undocumented? They wont even look for the body. I knew her and her friends. I work in a facility where they try to protect them in lock down. Human trafficking here-higher numbers than Covid !
She is the scapegoat of a narcissistic family. Her only option is no contact, but they will drag her back in as long as they are able to track her down. Family can be the sickest cruelest people.
The cells in every living thing wait and wants to reproduce them self..so in essence all life wants to continue and re create.. instead of asking it's more like its waiting to happen...
I was on the same path as you. My mom on drugs... dad not around. I was homeless and started dancing. I did it for a few years and started doing dates. I finally found a way out and went to school. I graduate next semester from college ..... it’s one of the hardest things I have ever done but if I can do it so can you! I have faith in you.
There’s no way as a mother I would tell my daughter, “you can’t come back here, we don't know who you are?” My heart is aching for her as a woman and mother of two daughters.
You don’t know the context of the situation I would love to here from the “foster mom” someone who already had 4 kids and wanted to take another in there life. Stop trying to demonize the foster mom sicko
@@willjennings983 did you even listen ? She was abused by her foster family dude. From what I’ve gathered , most of the people on this channel who were in foster families were molested by them.
@@northhallbabe13it’s very weird that you side with the one that abuses drugs and prostitutes her body! Meanwhile that foster mom has taken multiple kids in her arms apparently sounds like a great person to me doing what most people aren’t willing to do. If anything you think people would be talking about her original parents and how they failed her! She’s a individual she makes her choices and there are consequences. She even asked to come home at one pint but the other kids said no. At one pint she had 17000 dollars and just hands it to the pimp
You don’t belong on the streets babygirl. You shine too bright for those people. Don’t let them keep you down. You are gonna be something special. Don’t settle.
I hope she can read your comment because that touched my heart, and you are so right, she shines to bright for those people that are trying to bring her down.
You can tell the only thing that brings this girl to tears is her family. She has learned to hold her feelings back but is unable to when it comes to them.
It bothers me greatly that that same family that caused her traumas as a child are telling her she needs help (for what they caused). She’s so aware of what she needs to fix but needs to also realize they were initially apart of the problem. That’s not family...
Mine was like this it toke me until last year to realize they just want money from me and everything I went though was my fault she a good girl I hope she’s ok I hate seeing shit like this so much
She didn’t want to leave the interview. She felt free and safe you can just feel it. Positive vibrations sent her way. This one really dug deep into me I genuinely want the best for her. She’s going to be somebody very influential one day I can just feel it. Her strength and ambition is unmeasurable.
All the positive vibrations you send her will do wonders. You’re a real gift to humanity. If only there were more women as giving, intelligent, and strong willed. Positive fucking vibrations my g-d. Sickening you think you’re a good person while doing NOTHING. Positive vibrations lol. Unbelievable.
@Rachel Black you sound like you need positive vibrations sent your way. Be humble. You too can end up on an interview just like this one day. Be careful how you speak about people. I hope that you can find happiness within yourself one day so that you don’t feel the need to be ugly over a keyboard. Take care!

That is the craziest things about kids they always love their mom and that is kinda of scared cause there are mothers who cause more pain to their own children than anyone can ever do
Oxytocin It plays a role in social bonding, reproduction, childbirth, and the period after childbirth.[4] Oxytocin is released into the bloodstream as a hormone in response to love and in labor.[5][6] This helps with birth, bonding with the baby, and milk production.[6][7]
@@rebekahmartinez5394 I’ve been taken them since 16 more than half my life. Oxytocin is the chemical that forces u to love your parents u basically have no choice u are chemically attached to them
Truth. Foster children are nothing but $$$$$$ This country is run off the backs of children on the streets, in the foster care systems, the health system, education systems, the abortion industry…. It makes me physically sick
So much sadness, pain and inhumanity, Mark. I don’t know how you are able to keep doing this. But it’s important that you do. Thank you for giving voice to society’s underbelly.
Yeah I mean I don't think I could handle listening to all this misery every day. But then again, imagine living it?... I wish I could help everyone of them...
She needs a mentor or a good Friend to help guide her she's just a baby. She has been threw a lot pain where she's been since very young. God bless her I hope someone reaches out to her Amen
This comment section made me cry. So many good people in the world wanting to help her. She reminds me of my sister so much. I hope with all of my heart she finds her way into loving arms and gets the help she deserves.
Damn she blames herself for all the f up shit that happen to her......her love for her moms is crazy after she abandoned her..she got a big heart....hopefully she doing better man
She just needed to talk it out, glad she got a chance. I have been kidnapped and tortured when I was 16 and when I went to trial of these 3 young men, my mum called me discusting for going into details, as a victim/ witness. I am 44 now and carry these words with me every day, relive the ordeal in nightmares every night since. Sometimes I can wake up somewhat rested… only now finding whats ptsd and why I am the way I am, could fight a tallest man if I see abuse in public, even if I risk being stabbed, and God forbid if somebody is nasty to my kids. Wish I could have talked it out to somebody that wouldnt judged.
Dear one, write a letter to an imaginary person you "know" will understand and has compassion It will be your true testamony and perhaps a book. Sweet sweet sweetheart Feed your light, a little bit here, there, build. I send you love.
I’m wishing routings for you little sister there’s more to life and I know you’ll have that chance because you sound like you’re searching and so you will find a better life you deserve it as we all do.
I can imagine Mark has a list of resources with phone numbers / resources. If not, many social services agencies have a directory that they hand out. It's a start-
@Jordan Spencer honestly I don't even know how to do that or else I would. That's why I asked Mark to please help her in that way. She has her whole life ahead of her & needs assistance to get her on the right track
They sent her away to find herself, when she finally wants to come home they tell her “we don’t know you anymore it’s gonna take a while”.... I feel so much for this girl rn❤️
Being a social worker and hearing her say she watches Brene Brene and wants to be a motivational speaker gives me so much hope for her. I wish you the best of luck, Selena. You got this.
When she says “died on me” it shows the real deep pain and trauma she’s experienced. Also, the abandonment she experienced throughout her life. Praying for you beautiful.
@@blacksilverchair3315 When you have experienced a certain amount of trauma...... you are unable to make a choice anymore. You are a slave to whatever takes away the pain Only Jesus can heal you at this point Which he stands waiting
This one really hit me. Her pain, the abandonment, the loss of her mom, the feeling of being lost and stuck, it’s like we stepped right into her life for a moment. I’ve lost a parent, and it left me feeling like an orphan (even tho I’m grown). When she said “I have to deal with the fact that I really don’t have a mom anymore” I felt that. She has all the potential to have the life she wants and deserves. I pray she finds her way out. She deserves happiness.
and she's only 20 :( been in basically prison 4 years "group home, or boarding school" 15-18 and now she's 20 and has to figure it out, to go back to family they wanna put her away for another year. just tragic we love you Nina AS your mom would call you. stay up mama. we are all rooting for you. look at all these comments and supporters xoxoxo . love n light ! blessings be to you.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, in this woman’s life failed her. I know there are clear villains in your story, Selena, but there are people who don’t deserve the effort you’re putting into building a relationship back up with. You deserve to be able to live a stable, safe and happy life. I wish you nothing but healing from now on.
No so. Her family has tried. She has failed to tell you what her mother went through. She ran a muck doing what SHE wants to do. She did it her way. Her upbringing was not what she said it was. She dresses her story to how she wants you to see it. Her mother helped a whole lot more than she claims. Believe me.
@@jerseygirl07105 I agree everybody’s trying to demonize the foster parent that opened her up to her family of FOUR. I don’t believe this girls words I believe her pain and i pray for her. That’s all we can do.
This girl is as sweet as pie. She just needs to move and start over. California is the worst place to try to get your life together because it's hard out there.
Whadda u mean? Plenty successful Ho's in Cali. She's just wacked on pills and is incoherent. Clean up your act a little and she'll get that big , high end money. She's at least $250 an hour if she plays it right.
@KingJames Version239 I agree, most people are just too lazy to examine the information presented to them and drawing an honest conclusion without letting their emotions cloud their judgement. As you said, these druggies and street walkers are expert manipulators and they love to project and make excuses. You have to really pay attention to the facts to discern the truth from the lies. Not everybody’s got time for that loool but I do. I’m glad you’re like that too and I salute you. Men like us are in the minority. Peace and Blessings to you king 🙏🏾
Great comment.. last part though.. sick of seeing protect and save so and so.. it inspiring you can see her potential, but the save and protect shit is lame and I’m seeing everywhere at this point and I mean EVERYWHERE.. people see morals and values in people and they jump to say save and protect.. more like wow, even through everything this person has endured they still show signs of their values.
I've watched every single interview, this one right here really made me cry!! I understand what that pain is that she feels I wish I could just hug her and let her know that none of what happened in her childhood should she be sorry for!!
Girl if you see this DON'T go to any pimps. Get a bank account, go to a women's shelter, get some resources, ask Mark for help! Anything besides going back to these pimps and giving them your money. Put your money in a bank account so you don't always have cash on you that can be taken. Sending you love and healing. ♡
@@mintycocoa2637 She knows now after going through it. Right now would be the time to avoid dating, pimps, or any relationships that are romantic with men in general, she needs to focus on straightening her own life out without someone else distracting or controlling her. She obviously has a lot of trauma from what she's been through.
@@mintycocoa2637 they always dress fresh and act like they have money. They want you to "join their team" or they will help you be who you are supposed to be. They play on any info you tell them to make it seem hopeless and dangerous even, so they can "take you away from that life"-- and lead you to another horrible life-- Im pro sex work and if these women were not criminalized then pimps would not exist. They actually have no power. They live off of and pray off of the fear they instill in the girls.
@@mintycocoa2637 anyone who asks you to go out and sale your body, give them something in exchange for something you need. Is not trying to help you but help themselves. She needs a bank account. At a young age we are taught to open one. However she left so young she was never taught. Put your money in a account that collects interest. Get a job as a server or something, rent a place to live. Then save save save and create goals.
Not so easy. Does she have an address? No. ID? Presumably lost, jumping from home to boarding school to pimp. Can you just walk into a bank and deposit cash without proving where it came from? There are many obstacles. But I agree that she need to find ANY resource to women in trouble and not give up.
The best and most freeing thing my therapist ever said to me was "Your mother doesn't love you". Selena- your foster mother didn't love you. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you will be able to process it, realize your worth, and have healthy relationships. She used her foster kids for money and didn't care about your well-being, then she wanted to use you as a caretaker. She manipulated a child's need for a mother to gain a source of income and a servant. That isn't love. Further, your family gaslit you to believe that their neglect was your fault. None of it was ever your fault. You did and DO deserve more. You deserved a mother, but you can mother yourself as you are INCREDIBLY STRONG. You can have your own family someday- I see you being a great mother. You are intelligent- do what you need to do, get a degree (even an associate's) you can use, and start your own family
if her mom didn't abandon her, half this stuff wouldn't have happened to her. These stories are so common, adoption agencies really don't do their job sending ppl to bad homes.
Exactly I never understand why adopt you know your mission isn’t to save or change a life just ruined this child’s life when she could of been given to a good family
Amen to this!! She is soooooo YOUNG😥😥. I wonder if someone gave her a chance at a different life if she would take it and get away from that world for good?? Ya know?😔😔. I have 3 daughters and this broke my heart💔💔💔.
Was gonna post this, she's just so sad. Right off the bat you can see how upset and depressed she is in general. Her looks have nothing to do with this video but she's such a sweet and pretty girl, charming too, she could do or be anything if she wanted to. Very sad story and again such a poor girl.
I relate to this girl so much, my mom wasn’t around and my father is an addict and was homeless. I put myself in foster care at 17 and graduated high school. Then, I got kicked out of my foster home and was homeless for a year in la and OC area. I started doing dates and it was the hardest thing in my life and I would take molly and e pills to numb my issues. Now, I live in San Diego and I work as a document specialist at 21 years old and I will be graduating as a Paralegal early next year. Then, I will be eventually applying to law School. I was there before and that shit is horrible. I pray for you Selena. Keep that mentality, don’t ever let no other human control your path. Do the things that you know is good for you and believe in yourself, please believe in that better life on the other side. It will come, I promise❤️
I would love to help guide her to a successful, safe life. She deserves to get off the streets, go to college, law school, become a criminal attorney. I envision so much potential of growth and success for her out of this dark path. I would love to see others like myself believe in her and help women like this get off the streets and use adversity to become the best versions of themselves.
She needs help, she’s LITERALLY BEGGING FOR IT. I hope she finds a way out , unlike other videos and ppl. I actually see her succeeding and getting out, she really wants to. She’s not lost. She literally said “ accepting help” before he interrupted her! I’m rooting for you Selena.
You can tell she hasn't had anyone to talk to in a LOOOONG time...I think she got a lot off of her chest! As mistreated as she was she still deeply values family. I can learn from her
Damn man, here I am sitting at home with my family, with no worries and there’s people like her out there really fighting some real world shit. Soft White Underbelly always brings me down to reality and pops the little bubble I live in. I pray the Most High brings peace to her and everyone out there struggling and fighting all these battles. 💙
Pretty sure this is supposed to be titled: "Sex trafficking victim"-Selena You deserve so much better than this in this life Selena. You can rise above this.
@@dimmak7414 well.... here in the real world....acknowledging someone's a victim and not in the game willfully...is pretty damn important. If this was my daughter... I'd hope someone mentioned that she was being victimized. But keep being mad about someone's concern and empathy my friend..... 👌
RUN!!! This poor girl. I'm sure people would sponsor her to get her out of there, in school, and on the road to her dreams. She is beautiful, intelligent, resourceful, and resilient. Please run. God I hope she makes it out.
Having worked in this business I definitely understand what she’s saying. I’m so blessed someone was able to bring me to God and out of this type of situation! God grab Selena and don’t let her go. You’ve brought her this far and I know She can get better. In Jesus name AMEN
Any idea where she is now? I really hope she's found some peace and stability... Losing your mom is so hard. I relate so much to what she's feeling and my heart really goes out to her
Can a group of us get together and try to help this girl out??? She is a lost soul, but definitely looking to be saved, and loved in a non-abusive way!! Who’s in????
I broke into tears while watching this. I really complain a lot about my parents not letting me do "whatever I want". Sometimes I take it all for granted (the education they've given me, the effort they make to keep me under a roof, feed me everyday, take me wherever I need, etc) but having caring parents is such a privilege and I just realized that I don't appreciate it as much as I should. I hope she finds her way and stays away from the path she took years ago. She deserves so much better.
This comment right here, you're 100% right. Sometimes I take for granted how blessed I am with my parents and my whole family in general that I never had to experience things like this. Thank you for commenting, definitely humbled me hearing this sweet girls story.
She was trafficked into this lifestyle, she was forced to believe it was a choice she made because that’s the only way she could continue living through it... Everyone has failed her so far, please help her! She is unbelievably strong and powerful and I really hope that one day she gets to see that for herself. Incredibly beautiful inside and out.
So true she’s so brave to be here sharing her life and her hurt and pain . So sad Selena needs serious support because I really believe she wants to do the right thing ☹️
@@gregoryillinivich5328 yep, she did that asap at 18 before she graduated from the UTah program & missed the opportunity to get proper life skills from it before heading to the cruel world of easy $ & rough lifestyle that she’s not ready for.
It's a small relief that she's allowed to cry and mourn her mother FINALLY in this interview. She's got such a hard road ahead of her, and I just hope she finds the strength to change her situation. Poor little angel.
Her mother, the one she fought so hard for, is the one who abandoned her in the first place. She should be sorry for nothing. I hope she finds the way out.
I don't have a daughter. But my mother's heart is weeping for this precious young woman. I have so much love for her. Adding her to my prayer list. I hope she finds her place. 💕
You can tell she’s got such a pure soul, and was so terribly treated. I’m sure she didn’t ever let any law enforcement know what was going on (not like they would help, I’m sure some would but most would have a disregard for someone “prostituting herself”). It’s frustrating that she has to admit what’s happening for any action to be taken in a very clear domestic violence and trafficking case. We all know why victims of abuse don’t speak up. So why does the law allow so many abusers get away with so many disgusting acts of violence? Millions of beautiful people slip through the cracks everyday, and I just hope she can find her way out & peace in this life
Selena girl, if you read this , I will be your sister. My family and I have enough love for you. I will be the big sister you need and I will always be there for you babygirl. You are so strong and you are beyond intelligent. Believe in yourself, you are worthy of all your heart desires and God will fulfill all your needs. Continue to pray about everything and continue to speak life & positivity
She needs a strong female to take her under her wing and guide her into womanhood and independence. I feel for her on a deep level, she’s too scared to express her true sadness as she’s trying to keep her head above water every day. I can’t imagine, I hope she’s finds a way out somehow. She just wanted to her her mother even after her mother abandoned her.
I know how we can find her !! She said her best friend passed away in November her name was Athena search up longliveathena and contact her mom so we can help this girl !!! Please spread the word so we can help this girl 🙏🏽🥺
She really seems like an angel who just got dealt a shitty card. I'm rooting for you Selena, you're better and stronger than the shit that's happened to you!
I felt this, mija. I have 2 daughter’s that have passed away 19&30 yrs old and two older. My ex-husband and a surviving daughter didn’t put me on my daughter’s obituary either. But, I raised them. There’s more to the story. I didn’t deserve anything served me like you don’t, either. Reach out🙏🏼
I'm sure your ex-husband and surviving daughter had a good reason for not putting your name on the Obituary.I would love to hear their side of the story.
Just ONE PERSON to show her GENUINE love and kindness is going to shift her life because she is one that has not completely shut off her feelings like so many others have done. This beautiful young woman is SOO REACHABLE RIGHT NOW!!!
Omggg I went to the mental institution with her I can’t believe this is her she was honestly genuinely so sweet I honestly wondered what happened to her
All I wanna do is hug her and tell her everything is gonna be okay. You can tell she just wants to be loved and accepted. All I wanna do is help this poor girl.
Same. I’d literally let her live with me. I did the same for my friend when she was homeless and I didn’t ask for anything in return. I wish I could find this girl
I can straight up tell by the way she talks that this girl is smarter than she realizes. I hope she finds a better way forward. That goes to anyone who is going through a tough time.
I got a headache after this one. She got a raw deal on life to begin with then the pimp made it worse. Poor thing she's got a tough road ahead of her. 🙏
I usually don't comment the guests. However, Selena is very, very special. Her energy is powerful...Selena you are going to be alright...Greatness is inside of you...I can feel it...
Yeah she needs to drop those drugs and get her shit together ASAP. Because she still young hasn’t got pregnant. Definitely not to late for her. But if she keeps up her drug use to hide her pains she’s gonna be stuck for... forever
This one touched my heart. Selena, you are loved by so many people around the world. I know love is just a word, but my heart truly goes out to you. My condolences to the loss of your mother and friend. I have a daughter named Athena and she is my world. Only one year old and I will love and protect her fiercely with God’s will because I know that’s what kind of care you needed and so many other young women in your position. You do have someone to prove something to - look in the mirror. Because YOU are worthy and deserve joy, love, respect, peace and happiness. Praying for you girl. ❤
Lord wrap your arms around this beautiful young lady, she deserves so much better in this life. I don’t usually cry but this one got me. She’s so strong and you can tell when someone tries not to cry and apologizes. You don’t have to apologize baby girl. I wish her the absolute best. I hope she finds the right path and can one day know what it feels like to be happy. Omg my heart hurts so bad for this girl.
Out of all the interviews from Sharp to Frenchie she stood out to me the most.. She’s so lost but her mental is there.. she needs help and it seemed like she was crying for it. Mark please help her 🙏🏽
Please keep in mind, that Mark helps more people than the rest of us can comprehend. The multitudes sharing their stories on SWU either don't want the help, or don't believe they deserve a better life. Step one has to be their willingness to make a change~or a change will never happen.
You didn't see what I saw. She needs to get some things broken off her life. Prayers up. Mark can't deliver a victim from SRA. He's doing a great thing here, but he is only one resource.
The part where she talked about not having any friends has me in tears. I felt that. I genuinely feel like she’s so intelligent and she has so much potential to really be something great.
I’m so mad at her family. They did her so wrong and really did abandon her. I understand that things happen and families fight, but at the end of the day, that’s still your sister. I couldn’t even imagine knowing my sister living like this, and me just letting her suffer on the streets. Her mom and sisters kept saying “things can’t go back to how they were” but they weren’t even willing to try. I know she loved her mom but damn she didn’t even do anything for her. Everybody failed her. In situations like this, you need a support system and she never had one.
That poor sweet little baby. Smh. This is why people shouldn't have kids if they can't take of them. Her whole life would've been different if she just had a good loving parent. Breaks my heart. She desperately just wanted to go home and her so called mother didnt even help. Just sad!
@Don'tGetMeCensoredBcuz Ur weak She never had a chance to grow and develop mentally in a safe and secure environment. That's why everyone was able to take advantage. Poor baby
Her family abandoned her. Unfortunately there are many terrible foster parents. She needs to find her own strength unfortunately. She's a child of the world. And the world can be a hard place.
Def broke my heart even more where she said, “if I get out this I have to face that fact that I don’t really don’t have a mom anymore” that’s very very sad. I’m crying 😫🥺 sending much love to this girl, god bless her pour broken soul. XO 💋
You want to be a writer, Selena? Then do it! Now is the time! RIGHT NOW is the time! Start writing... don't worry about a publisher yet, or grammar, or anything like that. Just write and when you're ready... that book will get published! I wish you all the best! I hope you see this! Stay safe!
I agree! It was so heartbreaking to hear her say she begged her Mom so many times to come home and was told no. I don't understand a mother that would rather let her child continue to prostitute than to allow her to come home. She was a child when she made those mistakes, and more than that she was a child that had been abandoned and sexually abused. I feel like the moment she left boarding school and needed to come home was a huge turning point. If she had been given support and guidance and a place to go at that moment, if she would have been surrounded with love from her family instead of being left on her own trying to figure out how to survive as a homeless 18 year old, she wouldn't be on the path she is now. She wouldn't have ever needed to turn to that first pimp for help. It's really heartbreaking. I really hope that she finds her way out of this life.
@@QueenofMarine There were other children at home they were trying to protect probably. There's a reason she was sent away in the first place. This is why people need to build friendships, just in case you can't rely on family.
@@michaelweyenberg6238 you are right in a sense but it's wrong af to give up in ur kid no matter what...they could have helped her and this would have never happened or continued
She started with her story and didn't stop. She just wants to talk and it breaks my heart.
Exactly I wish I could take all her pain away & show her it’s still genuine people out here💔
Foster care does this to you. We all go thru alot when you end up in the System. Depression hits hard later in life. 💔
Me too. I pray this beautiful intelligent young lady finds what she needs and deserves.
I can honestly understand the good that imagine this "Pretty Woman" kind of ending but I see that as also taking advantage. These women have very little chance to get out of this kind of life. It's just so so sad.

She literally was asked one question n later told her entire life story .. this needed to be said she was holding onto it for soo long probably
Yeah, an interviewers dream, just sit while the story pours out without influence.
That part
She's hurt and she needs to release it all. I pray that she gets help.
@@duawanmills1607 ur answer is the only smart one. She needs to release. This young girl is in pain. She's been through a really tough time. The folks on this thread made dumb comments about her interview. Glad u didn't. Respect 2u.
Honestly I think if you listen to her mothers story it would be completely different I think she’s playing victim but I think a parent was trying to help her if you listen carefully she contradicts herself couple of times makes no sense
Mark, this is the one person you need to find real help for far away from LA. She is a smart, caring person. She is not destroyed by drugs yet. She can be saved. She should be saved. Please, save her.
Your comment gave me chills...
Please!! 🙏🙏🙏
I completely agree!!!!!! I’m on the other side of the world, but I would donate money to get her out of this.
@K K the only way for that to happen is to have America have a standard, low income for EVERY adult. Make the super rich pay for it!
@@sinarolo6182 get outta here with that socialist nonsense. it's never worked, stop trying to make it happen here.
Can we get a part 2? I really wonder how she’s doing. This interview moved me.
He posted one 2 years ago type in underbelly Selena it should be like the third video
Just in case you don’t know you’re better than this. No, you’re more worthy then this.
U and me both
Sexual abuse seems to be a common theme running through most of the interviews with addicts and sex workers. We as a society need to do something
Agreed. I wonder how we could get this under control? I mean I think maybe making it illegal to have kids if you're a drug user, but, how do you really enforce that? Maybe you have to put up 200k before being allowed to have a kid or something, and you get that back with interest, but it shows the parent can at least take care of the kid. I realize these are crazy ideas with lots of issues, but, just throwing stuff out there - we need something dramatic.
@@commanderrussels2612 yea but then the child would just go to the system and that’s where the abuse always happens at. My old friend was in the system she was only 5 when she got her first std.
@@lyssbuilds5795 So sad.
@@commanderrussels2612 wouldn’t we have to try starting by helping out the girls on the street get out?
@@heaven7612 I concur
Man, they are not her family. Family don't do that. They abandoned that girl. They got rid of her and kept making excuses as to why she couldn't come back in actuality they never wanted her there. This is so sad.
Exactly cuz thats just what it sound like!.... them damn people don't care about that girl not even a little bit...she could get killed 6 times by some crazy ass person out there and they mad at her for not showing up for a dinner or 2?....naw with her gone that's just one less person they gotta deal with they have a clique and don't wanna let her in that's all....I wish I could throw some hot grease on all they asses for her
i know right, they made her feel like she had to keep doing certain tasks in order for her family to want her and include her but in all her efforts they never changed
No. She said they invited her to multiple family gatherings but she declined because she believed there would be an underlying tension. She said things would appear to be ok but she would feel like there is still resentment from her family. She said her sisters wants her to get help. I'm sorry for being brutally honest here but she doesn't want to hold herself accountable for her actions. If her family abandoned her, they would not be inviting her anywhere at all. They wouldn't even answer her phone calls or want better for her. She admitted to going back to the same man who conflicted the relationship between her and her mother. The interviewer asked her what is she going to do after the interview and her answer was "getting down" again while laughing. I'm sorry for how her life turned out but until she can be able to hold herself accountable, she's her own worst enemy. She has to admit her faults to herself. She has to admit her own part in her own self destruction.
@@livsux Tasks like what? Go to rehab?
@@redward18 no.. the program she was staying in wasnt rehab, she went there for her childhood trauma. when she turned 18 she didn’t want to stay there anymore and finish the program which is understandable. her family never wanted her back home, they made it seem like she had to do a bunch of extra shit just to be able to come home. this put her in a situation where she was homeless and turned to the streets. the only family member who was trying to get her back home was her mom, and everytime her mom asked the rest of them they said they didn’t want her home. they didn’t invite her to their moms burial, and excluded her from a lot of important shit, so yes the life she chose is her decision but you can’t rly blame her
She didn’t wanna leave the interview, she enjoyed opening up and venting. It hurts cause you can see she’s still going through all of that emotion. I hope she finds her way, you can tell her heart is pure yet bruised.
Yeah you can tell she felt safe I feel for her man poor girl man
Yeah she’s definitely starving for some attention
She's working game on ol' boy. She learned it from sugar free.
Such a beautiful girl you have so much worth...Jesus is a real help in times of trouble just ask him girl.
I know from experience it feels so good to open up to somebody 😌
As a Social Worker this really made me remember the saying "If we don't raise our Kids the Street will " She really just needs Love and a good support system.
Our entire child protective services have failed so many of these children!
Just about every story I have listened to has failure of the child protective system.
@@GiGiM-1114 this channel is focused mostly on stories of lost souls, so it makes sense that they will able be failures of the system. doesnt mean the system didnt work for others
How long have you been an SW? I'm going back to school next spring to finish up my Sociology Degree.
@@conscioussouthernsoul I've been a Social Worker for 5 years now. I had a Bachelors Degree in basic Psychology and found a 2 year Masters Degree program at UCF here in Florida. I'm sure your degree field would transfer. Good Luck we can do anything through recovery !
@@stevouknow8408 Yes we can and thank you! 😊 I work at an Emergency Shelter for children whom are in the system an I'd witness so much while working there. I had this one adolescent whom did drugs with mom and that broke my heart. I can't have children so my husband and I are looking into adoption. It hurts my heart so much seeing all these Children's in the system because of the hands of their parents. Some people shouldn't be aloud to have children and yet I can't. That's why I want to work as a Social Worker besides so many are needing homes.
The interviewer hardly spoke during this interview, she just needed someone to talk to and let all her pain out. She’s only 20 years old and has gone through it all. I hope she finds healing and help.
I know 2 girls personally, who work in this business. One of them is coming from a "prostitute family" and the other one was raised "normally". They aren't such emotional wrecks, like this girl... I feel sorry for her. 😨
@@iiii3125 I doubt that prostitutes can be emotionally stable and not have any problems but I'll take your word for it buddy.
I noticed the same thing I admire how he just let her take the floor, she so needed this she barely paused ❤️
This girl had this shit rehearsed she knew everything she was going to say don’t be so gullible in two years from 18 to 20 she went through that much come on I don’t believe all the shit she saying LMAO

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 god bless you
Saved hopefully by an Angel.
PLEASE TAKE THIS HELP FRENCHIE!!!!
The fact that she opened up so quickly. She's really alone she really wanted and needed to talk to someone about her life and her story. She's so smart I'm hoping she gets the help that she needs. She's crying for help so bad. She's desperately trying to get up a hill in a car with little gas she just needs to get over that hilltop and realize how good life is. Even tho life is painful it's beautiful. Your body isn't worth $60,000 it's priceless and you have so much worth Selena.
Amen Hon..
My thoughts exactly! Praying for her, she can and will make it!
Rooting for you Selena ❤
❤️
Perfectly said!! ❤️
Yess exactlyy like how she said she would have to realize she doesn’t have her mom if she gets out, even so, it would be way better to get out of that lifestyle and be able to feel her emotions and live her life, I hope she gets help too💕
Please interviewer!! Give this young lady some help! She should not leave this interview without having somewhere safe to go. Praying for you Selena 🙏🏾
This poor girl was born to a meth addict mother, molested by her grandparents, witnessed abuse in her home, sent away, shunned by her family then sexually, physically & mentally abused only to be told she needs to seek treatment if she wants to have a relationship with her family. May she find the love & support she needs. I want to hug her so tight ❤
Hearing her story brought tears to my eyes.. I want to give her a hug to. She’s a sweet little soul, she’s known nothing but pain, sorrow and suffering . Good bless her🙏🏼
@@poisonivyheart6621 ditto. literally just described her with that identical terminology in a reply above prior to seeing your comment. Sweet Soul. poor thing god damn. 😥

This is how America rolls. And kids are coming across the boarders undocumented? They wont even look for the body. I knew her and her friends. I work in a facility where they try to protect them in lock down. Human trafficking here-higher numbers than Covid !

WHEN WILL PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT CHILDREN DO NOT ASK TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE WORLD.
I feel like having a child is like having a pet these days. Unfortunately seen people care more about their pet then their own child. So sad
The cells in every living thing wait and wants to reproduce them self..so in essence all life wants to continue and re create.. instead of asking it's more like its waiting to happen...
Yeah having a child is one of the most selfish things you can do in today’s world imo
Agreed. If you cannot take care of one it’s an act of cruelty to have children.
Every life is important, wether they are prostitutes, crack addicts, or whatever. That life is still valuable.
She has been through so much and she's talking about it like its business as usual. My heart goes out to her. She is so brave and strong.
I was on the same path as you. My mom on drugs... dad not around. I was homeless and started dancing. I did it for a few years and started doing dates. I finally found a way out and went to school. I graduate next semester from college ..... it’s one of the hardest things I have ever done but if I can do it so can you! I have faith in you.

There’s no way as a mother I would tell my daughter, “you can’t come back here, we don't know who you are?” My heart is aching for her as a woman and mother of two daughters.
after they sent her away for years and didnt even stay in touch with her. heart breaking.
You don’t know the context of the situation I would love to here from the “foster mom” someone who already had 4 kids and wanted to take another in there life. Stop trying to demonize the foster mom sicko
@@willjennings983 did you even listen ? She was abused by her foster family dude. From what I’ve gathered , most of the people on this channel who were in foster families were molested by them.
@@willjennings983 also , “sicko” ? She said nothing to warrant that. She’s being compassionate.
@@northhallbabe13it’s very weird that you side with the one that abuses drugs and prostitutes her body! Meanwhile that foster mom has taken multiple kids in her arms apparently sounds like a great person to me doing what most people aren’t willing to do. If anything you think people would be talking about her original parents and how they failed her! She’s a individual she makes her choices and there are consequences. She even asked to come home at one pint but the other kids said no. At one pint she had 17000 dollars and just hands it to the pimp
You don’t belong on the streets babygirl. You shine too bright for those people. Don’t let them keep you down. You are gonna be something special. Don’t settle.
Amen.
Yes!
I hope she can read your comment because that touched my heart, and you are so right, she shines to bright for those people that are trying to bring her down.
@Jessica Hartfield Wow. That's awful to say.
@Jessica Hartfield You can be honest without being mean. This baby has had enough horribleness in her life. Try being nice, it's not that hard.
You can tell the only thing that brings this girl to tears is her family. She has learned to hold her feelings back but is unable to when it comes to them.
Heartbreaking
That’s fuckin wild
Christ loves you beyond comprehension, turn to him❤❤❤
It bothers me greatly that that same family that caused her traumas as a child are telling her she needs help (for what they caused). She’s so aware of what she needs to fix but needs to also realize they were initially apart of the problem. That’s not family...
I feel the same way smh
A lot of families are exactly like that

@@shaheempurify8737 Hopefully she comes to the same realization you did! I feel greatly for her!

She didn’t want to leave the interview. She felt free and safe you can just feel it. Positive vibrations sent her way. This one really dug deep into me I genuinely want the best for her. She’s going to be somebody very influential one day I can just feel it. Her strength and ambition is unmeasurable.

That is the craziest things about kids they always love their mom and that is kinda of scared cause there are mothers who cause more pain to their own children than anyone can ever do
Oxytocin It plays a role in social bonding, reproduction, childbirth, and the period after childbirth.[4] Oxytocin is released into the bloodstream as a hormone in response to love and in labor.[5][6] This helps with birth, bonding with the baby, and milk production.[6][7]

She just needed to talk it out, glad she got a chance.
I have been kidnapped and tortured when I was 16 and when I went to trial of these 3 young men, my mum called me discusting for going into details, as a victim/ witness. I am 44 now and carry these words with me every day, relive the ordeal in nightmares every night since. Sometimes I can wake up somewhat rested… only now finding whats ptsd and why I am the way I am, could fight a tallest man if I see abuse in public, even if I risk being stabbed, and God forbid if somebody is nasty to my kids.
Wish I could have talked it out to somebody that wouldnt judged.

I can imagine Mark has a list of resources with phone numbers / resources. If not, many social services agencies have a directory that they hand out. It's a start-
@Jordan Spencer honestly I don't even know how to do that or else I would. That's why I asked Mark to please help her in that way. She has her whole life ahead of her & needs assistance to get her on the right track

Being a social worker and hearing her say she watches Brene Brene and wants to be a motivational speaker gives me so much hope for her. I wish you the best of luck, Selena. You got this.
When she says “died on me” it shows the real deep pain and trauma she’s experienced. Also, the abandonment she experienced throughout her life. Praying for you beautiful.
That’s crazy becus SOON as she said that I clicked on the comments and saw your comment smh 😔
I caught that too. Beautiful girl. I wish I could tell her that.
been there. fuck the lifestyle man :(
Is anyone wondering what the hell she did to her sister's kids?
@@blacksilverchair3315
When you have experienced a certain amount of trauma...... you are unable to make a choice anymore.
You are a slave to whatever takes away the pain
Only Jesus can heal you at this point
Which he stands waiting
This one really hit me. Her pain, the abandonment, the loss of her mom, the feeling of being lost and stuck, it’s like we stepped right into her life for a moment. I’ve lost a parent, and it left me feeling like an orphan (even tho I’m grown). When she said “I have to deal with the fact that I really don’t have a mom anymore” I felt that. She has all the potential to have the life she wants and deserves. I pray she finds her way out. She deserves happiness.
and she's only 20 :( been in basically prison 4 years "group home, or boarding school" 15-18 and now she's 20 and has to figure it out, to go back to family they wanna put her away for another year. just tragic we love you Nina AS your mom would call you. stay up mama. we are all rooting for you. look at all these comments and supporters xoxoxo . love n light ! blessings be to you.
No matter how hopeless a situation may seem, there's always a way out.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, in this woman’s life failed her. I know there are clear villains in your story, Selena, but there are people who don’t deserve the effort you’re putting into building a relationship back up with. You deserve to be able to live a stable, safe and happy life. I wish you nothing but healing from now on.
She also has made her own choices, nobody has forced her to do drugs and date pimps. She could stop this instant but is not willing to.
No so. Her family has tried. She has failed to tell you what her mother went through. She ran a muck doing what SHE wants to do. She did it her way. Her upbringing was not what she said it was. She dresses her story to how she wants you to see it. Her mother helped a whole lot more than she claims. Believe me.
@@jerseygirl07105 do you know her?
@@jerseygirl07105 do you?

Its 2023. I hope shes ok.

This girl is as sweet as pie. She just needs to move and start over. California is the worst place to try to get your life together because it's hard out there.

Plenty successful Ho's in Cali.
She's just wacked on pills and is incoherent.

@KingJames Version239 I agree, most people are just too lazy to examine the information presented to them and drawing an honest conclusion without letting their emotions cloud their judgement. As you said, these druggies and street walkers are expert manipulators and they love to project and make excuses. You have to really pay attention to the facts to discern the truth from the lies. Not everybody’s got time for that loool but I do. I’m glad you’re like that too and I salute you. Men like us are in the minority. Peace and Blessings to you king 🙏🏾
Bro I’m 21 and I’ve experienced some shit and I completely hold it together like her I feel her vibe 100% this is crazy fr fr fr I understand
She 20 year old woman.. stfu
20 years wtffff
its so sad how she loves her mom regardless. That just comes to show how gentle her heart is. Save this girl at all cost !!!!!!
Great comment.. last part though.. sick of seeing protect and save so and so.. it inspiring you can see her potential, but the save and protect shit is lame and I’m seeing everywhere at this point and I mean EVERYWHERE.. people see morals and values in people and they jump to say save and protect.. more like wow, even through everything this person has endured they still show signs of their values.
Her voice is also so low pitched and gentle ,she is so lovely with great skin .
She don't wanna be saved- J. Cole
Save her? Her mind will still run back to that piece of shit. They always do
I've watched every single interview, this one right here really made me cry!! I understand what that pain is that she feels I wish I could just hug her and let her know that none of what happened in her childhood should she be sorry for!!
Girl if you see this DON'T go to any pimps. Get a bank account, go to a women's shelter, get some resources, ask Mark for help! Anything besides going back to these pimps and giving them your money. Put your money in a bank account so you don't always have cash on you that can be taken. Sending you love and healing. ♡
How can you tell a guy is a pimp? How do you know to stay away from them if you don't know what signs to look for?
@@mintycocoa2637 She knows now after going through it. Right now would be the time to avoid dating, pimps, or any relationships that are romantic with men in general, she needs to focus on straightening her own life out without someone else distracting or controlling her. She obviously has a lot of trauma from what she's been through.
@@mintycocoa2637 they always dress fresh and act like they have money. They want you to "join their team" or they will help you be who you are supposed to be. They play on any info you tell them to make it seem hopeless and dangerous even, so they can "take you away from that life"-- and lead you to another horrible life--
Im pro sex work and if these women were not criminalized then pimps would not exist. They actually have no power. They live off of and pray off of the fear they instill in the girls.
@@mintycocoa2637 anyone who asks you to go out and sale your body, give them something in exchange for something you need. Is not trying to help you but help themselves. She needs a bank account. At a young age we are taught to open one. However she left so young she was never taught. Put your money in a account that collects interest. Get a job as a server or something, rent a place to live. Then save save save and create goals.
Not so easy. Does she have an address? No. ID? Presumably lost, jumping from home to boarding school to pimp. Can you just walk into a bank and deposit cash without proving where it came from? There are many obstacles. But I agree that she need to find ANY resource to women in trouble and not give up.
The best and most freeing thing my therapist ever said to me was "Your mother doesn't love you". Selena- your foster mother didn't love you. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you will be able to process it, realize your worth, and have healthy relationships. She used her foster kids for money and didn't care about your well-being, then she wanted to use you as a caretaker. She manipulated a child's need for a mother to gain a source of income and a servant. That isn't love. Further, your family gaslit you to believe that their neglect was your fault. None of it was ever your fault. You did and DO deserve more. You deserved a mother, but you can mother yourself as you are INCREDIBLY STRONG. You can have your own family someday- I see you being a great mother. You are intelligent- do what you need to do, get a degree (even an associate's) you can use, and start your own family
Love this comment ❤️
@Elizabeth Grant writing it down.
if her mom didn't abandon her, half this stuff wouldn't have happened to her. These stories are so common, adoption agencies really don't do their job sending ppl to bad homes.
Exactly, I had my child taken away over Marijauna in my hair.
A lot of people adopt just so they can get that government money

This poor girl was completely failed by her adoptive mother.
She didn’t care from Day 1.
Exactly !!!
She was failed by a lot of people starting with her mother and grandparents 😔
She don't feel that way so there should you obviously her Mother Care by putting her in a treatment facility when she decide to do her own thing
Exactly I never understand why adopt you know your mission isn’t to save or change a life just ruined this child’s life when she could of been given to a good family
Nope I can relate
She has a deep sadness behind her eyes. I hope she gets out and finds her worth.
I agree
Amen to this!! She is soooooo YOUNG😥😥. I wonder if someone gave her a chance at a different life if she would take it and get away from that world for good?? Ya know?😔😔. I have 3 daughters and this broke my heart💔💔💔.
WOW, PERFECT 👌 TAKE BECAUSE I SEE THAT TOO
Yeah the first thing I said was she looks very sad
Was gonna post this, she's just so sad. Right off the bat you can see how upset and depressed she is in general. Her looks have nothing to do with this video but she's such a sweet and pretty girl, charming too, she could do or be anything if she wanted to. Very sad story and again such a poor girl.
I relate to this girl so much, my mom wasn’t around and my father is an addict and was homeless. I put myself in foster care at 17 and graduated high school. Then, I got kicked out of my foster home and was homeless for a year in la and OC area. I started doing dates and it was the hardest thing in my life and I would take molly and e pills to numb my issues. Now, I live in San Diego and I work as a document specialist at 21 years old and I will be graduating as a Paralegal early next year. Then, I will be eventually applying to law School. I was there before and that shit is horrible. I pray for you Selena. Keep that mentality, don’t ever let no other human control your path. Do the things that you know is good for you and believe in yourself, please believe in that better life on the other side. It will come, I promise❤️
Sending you great vibes ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Queen, glad you made it💜
Update???
You are strong,many get lost.
Praise God!
I would love to help guide her to a successful, safe life. She deserves to get off the streets, go to college, law school, become a criminal attorney. I envision so much potential of growth and success for her out of this dark path. I would love to see others like myself believe in her and help women like this get off the streets and use adversity to become the best versions of themselves.
Well then help her
She needs help, she’s LITERALLY BEGGING FOR IT. I hope she finds a way out , unlike other videos and ppl. I actually see her succeeding and getting out, she really wants to. She’s not lost. She literally said “ accepting help” before he interrupted her! I’m rooting for you Selena.
You can tell she hasn't had anyone to talk to in a LOOOONG time...I think she got a lot off of her chest! As mistreated as she was she still deeply values family. I can learn from her
Damn man, here I am sitting at home with my family, with no worries and there’s people like her out there really fighting some real world shit. Soft White Underbelly always brings me down to reality and pops the little bubble I live in.

I broke into tears while watching this. I really complain a lot about my parents not letting me do "whatever I want". Sometimes I take it all for granted (the education they've given me, the effort they make to keep me under a roof, feed me everyday, take me wherever I need, etc) but having caring parents is such a privilege and I just realized that I don't appreciate it as much as I should. I hope she finds her way and stays away from the path she took years ago. She deserves so much better.
Me too 🥺 i was trying to find her IG i can tell she’s so Genuine
I cried too.Shes beautiful and smart and so young, and I truly hope she gets out of the "Game" & gets well.
This comment right here, you're 100% right. Sometimes I take for granted how blessed I am with my parents and my whole family in general that I never had to experience things like this. Thank you for commenting, definitely humbled me hearing this sweet girls story.
ya so true i complain too and see these and it’s so sad and i feel bad for ever complaining
She was trafficked into this lifestyle, she was forced to believe it was a choice she made because that’s the only way she could continue living through it... Everyone has failed her so far, please help her! She is unbelievably strong and powerful and I really hope that one day she gets to see that for herself. Incredibly beautiful inside and out.
Agreed!!💕
I agree with this statement.
So true she’s so brave to be here sharing her life and her hurt and pain . So sad Selena needs serious support because I really believe she wants to do the right thing ☹️

@@gregoryillinivich5328 yep, she did that asap at 18 before she graduated from the UTah program & missed the opportunity to get proper life skills from it before heading to the cruel world of easy $ & rough lifestyle that she’s not ready for.
Wow this was a touching one. I love that he just let her pour her heart out. Great interview.
It's a small relief that she's allowed to cry and mourn her mother FINALLY in this interview.
She's got such a hard road ahead of her, and I just hope she finds the strength to change her situation. Poor little angel.
Her mother, the one she fought so hard for, is the one who abandoned her in the first place. She should be sorry for nothing. I hope she finds the way out.
I don't have a daughter. But my mother's heart is weeping for this precious young woman. I have so much love for her. Adding her to my prayer list. I hope she finds her place. 💕
You can tell she’s got such a pure soul, and was so terribly treated. I’m sure she didn’t ever let any law enforcement know what was going on (not like they would help, I’m sure some would but most would have a disregard for someone “prostituting herself”). It’s frustrating that she has to admit what’s happening for any action to be taken in a very clear domestic violence and trafficking case. We all know why victims of abuse don’t speak up. So why does the law allow so many abusers get away with so many disgusting acts of violence? Millions of beautiful people slip through the cracks everyday, and I just hope she can find her way out & peace in this life
Selena girl, if you read this , I will be your sister. My family and I have enough love for you. I will be the big sister you need and I will always be there for you babygirl.

Please keep in mind, that Mark helps more people than the rest of us can comprehend. The multitudes sharing their stories on SWU either don't want the help, or don't believe they deserve a better life. Step one has to be their willingness to make a change~or a change will never happen.

The part where she talked about not having any friends has me in tears. I felt that. I genuinely feel like she’s so intelligent and she has so much potential to really be something great.
This was one of the hardest one I've ever watched. Heartbreaking.
I’m so mad at her family. They did her so wrong and really did abandon her. I understand that things happen and families fight, but at the end of the day, that’s still your sister. I couldn’t even imagine knowing my sister living like this, and me just letting her suffer on the streets. Her mom and sisters kept saying “things can’t go back to how they were” but they weren’t even willing to try. I know she loved her mom but damn she didn’t even do anything for her. Everybody failed her. In situations like this, you need a support system and she never had one.
Twice abandoned
you can feel the pain in her soul. she’s so beautiful and clearly has a bruised and broken heart. i hope she can find her way
When she said the only time she cried was when she saw her mother peacefully smiling in the casket it killed me
Selena is so eloquent and emotive and brave. I pray she finds the future she wants.
That poor sweet little baby. Smh. This is why people shouldn't have kids if they can't take of them. Her whole life would've been different if she just had a good loving parent. Breaks my heart. She desperately just wanted to go home and her so called mother didnt even help. Just sad!

Sounds like they have Judged her and decided she was not worth any time. Shame on them.
Her family abandoned her. Unfortunately there are many terrible foster parents. She needs to find her own strength unfortunately. She's a child of the world. And the world can be a hard place.

This girl just wanted to go home! She’s snowballed into this life that didn’t have to happen. That’s so sad.
I agree! It was so heartbreaking to hear her say she begged her Mom so many times to come home and was told no. I don't understand a mother that would rather let her child continue to prostitute than to allow her to come home. She was a child when she made those mistakes, and more than that she was a child that had been abandoned and sexually abused. I feel like the moment she left boarding school and needed to come home was a huge turning point. If she had been given support and guidance and a place to go at that moment, if she would have been surrounded with love from her family instead of being left on her own trying to figure out how to survive as a homeless 18 year old, she wouldn't be on the path she is now. She wouldn't have ever needed to turn to that first pimp for help. It's really heartbreaking. I really hope that she finds her way out of this life.
