To the comments saying he shouldn't have record this, posted it and claim he was camera hungry, shame on you. If you paid close attention, it was his way of telling people of what drugs can not only do to their bodies and mind, but how it effects their children. I was literally in tears when that little boy was crying over his mother's drug overdose death. No child should have to go through that, not at that young age.
I lost my mom when I was 4 from a drug overdose. More people need to see what it does to the children they leave behind. If people see reactions of kids hearing their mom died or seeing them in a coffin, maybe it will be an eye opener. my sister was 18 months old, she tried to crawl into the coffin with our mom to cuddle. I thank him for getting clean for his son instead of diving harder into the drugs.
The way that I understood it was that he could have the video for himself, to remind himself the kind of pain the little boy had to go through and if he didn't' clean himself up he would put the boy in the same place again.
Angel TV This man is a recovering addict. He knows and clearly stated that in active addiction nothing else matters. It comes before your kids or your health. So he knows that any addict out there with children who is in active addiction will not stop just because they saw a video of another child (who isn't their own) grieving his mother who died of an overdose😢 That addict has already chosen & continues to choose drugs over everything. So if they could not stop for their own kids, they're not going to stop for someone elses child. They won't stop just because they saw a video of someone elses child and he knows that because he's a recovering addict. Also, if he wanted to keep it for himself as a reminder to not relapse he could have very well done exactly that & kept it to his self.. I'm saying this as a recovering addict with two amazing children who has 3 yrs clean. If any of you know someone who is using please do not think that showing them videos of other children, moms, people in general mourning THEIR loved ones will convince them to stop using. There may be that one out of a million who sees the error of their ways after seeing other people hurting but for most cases, that's not how it works. It would be amazing if it did though! There would be so many addicts getting clean if it were that way. ❤
Miriam Baena This might help addicts that have been clean a while and sound of mind since they're not on drugs. They can watch these types of videos if they're slipping a bit. But I agree, someone who's actively using won't be affected by these.
+jackie tye but there are definitely sometimes when she gets back to her mind!!!!! and see whether what she is doing is good or not!!!! or before she had even chosen to be an addict!!!! whether what she is about to start doing would affect her life negatively or positively!!!!! I'm feeling bad that she got misled, for she didn't use her mind to differentiate between the right and wrong!!!!! I'm feeling sorry that she hadn't the power of will to change her bad lifestyle!!!!!
I agree, but for a silver lining, she also might have saved his life. Addiction can be genetic and I doubt this kid will ever touch drugs knowing personally the effects it can cause.
cc C ...my husband died IN FRONT of my children of a drug overdose. I got clean a year later. 16 years opiate free, my son is 16, my daughters are adults. None of them have addictions, it took 10 years of me being clean and consistent before I was forgiven for the damage we caused. I think sometimes addicts think because we did this incredibly difficult thing of getting clean and cleaning up all the collateral damage that we caused we forget all the anxiety, pain, destruction , dysfunction and horror we caused everyone around us and become discouraged that we are not the hero. it's courageous to get clean, but we left victims all over the place. Regaining your life and grace are doable. What's owed to that little boy, will be paid over a lifetime. I wish them nothing but peace and love.
+Elizabeth Pokos I hope so but in reality this kid will grow up with resentment and abandonment issues and in a world that's accepting of drug abuse (in most cases including this one both parents addicts). I knew a great and amazing guy growing up and his father overdosed on heroin when he was a baby and this great guy I knew overdosed in his early twenties. This guy i knew was smart and outgoing, he was one of a kind but struggled deeply with his fathers death.I think people are quick to forget just exactly how traumatic it is to lose a parent in this manner and the issues they will struggle with throughout their lives.
cc C Having a parent die when you're a baby and knowing them then knowing they died is two totally different things. I have watched a best friend OD as well as many family members and I would never do that to myself...I just hope the father stays clean for the rest of his child's life. With enough love and support, the child can heal his open wounds and move on to live a wonderful life.
I couldn't even watch it. I just fast forward through it. that's how bad it bothers me. I know how it feels to lose ur mom at a young age. I lost mine at 14. except hers was suicide when they told my little sister mom was dead, she went nuts. they had to give her a shot to calm her down...
Pretty Corra thanks for asking. We r not on speaking terms right now, she is crazy as hell. And hasent been the same since. She still child like in her mind. I love her but I can't deal with her craziness
I lost my sister last month. She had been in rehab for meth addiction and was going back to school. She hung her self behind a gas station. She left behind two little boys. We had her cremated.
***** Yes you are the sick one, and disrespectful. Just because YOU don't like it or agree with it, there was no need to put a comment like yours to someone who is grieving. It was that person's choice, not yours. And yet again, you have made another disrespectful comment. There is no need for that at all. Please have some consideration.
I needed to see that. I did, I've been clean for almost 2 years now. I just had my baby girl a month ago. That just helped me realize more. I hope more addicts see this and realize they don't want this for there children. I only want the best for my baby so I'm making a vow to never touch narcotics as long as I live. God bless that child in this video that he have peace in his life.
Nikki B Good job for being sober and staying sober. Use your knowledge to encourage other moms to be just like you and stay sober for your baby. I'm sure you will be a great mom ♡ Keep on the good work
No he wasn't. The dad and his mom used this as a way to scam people out of money for donations and tried to put the kid up for adoption after this. They are both terrible terrible people. To this day he doesn't even have his son
Omg this breaks my heart into a million of pieces 😭 poor baby 😢 I'm just grateful for everything i have and really hope this baby boy will pass this hard time. ❤️
The people who are criticizing are whack and need to get a life. What a terrible and sensitive thing for any family to go through. And I commend him for filming it!! People need to see this.
This heroine epidemic is literally life and soul crushing. As a victim of the heroine epidemic, it affects more than just the addict. It affects their family, friends, anyone who cares for them. It is so much more than "oh well they died now they're not on drugs and their family doesnt have to deal with them!". Most people get addicted to drugs after being over prescribed pills. That's how it happened in my case. Something has to be done.
Alyssa Monroe totally agree with you, i have more than one family member that's been addicted to heroine and it affects not only them but the family/friends.
Mancy Meadows a friend of mine recently started distanceing himself from me and hanging with the wrong group, I didn't really care up until today when he came up to me and said ' Im gonna get rich with ( blank ) which means sell drugs, now idk is I should talk to him about it or not.
Christy Wright he only new hid son for 4 years and his son was 8 years old he was sitting next to his grandmother who has had custody over him ever since he was two so I think his grandmother is the safe zone for him and probably the best one to comfort him in that situation since at that time his dad was dealing and doing drugs as well
So true. It's was like he was telling him "sorry, no chocolate". You don't just tell a kid something of that magnitude from across the table. He was just a tad too casual in telling the kid this. That is just the mentality of a drug user, I guess. And who was sitting at the table. Did she even belong there?
Christy Wright while I absolutely agree with you. I'd also consider he was next to his Grandma whom has raised him since 2 years old. He didn't meet his dad until age 4, so being by her was best I'm sure. But I still agree with you.
I have a seven year old and a five year old! My heart ached from this! I cried too! This poor baby man! I literally can't man! I just want to send him all the love I have to send! Poor baby man!
As a mother I just feel like that woman was so selfish! Nothing and I do mean NOTHING comes before your child! If you wanted to be apart of that life don't bring a child into this world that didn't chose this!!!!!! I literally hope that this is a lesson to someone! Dear Allah protect that poor baby!
I cannot believe this is how they tell the boy....both are puffing on their smokes right in front of the child...then the man reaches for the boys hand with a smoke in his hand as he finally decides to get rid of it. Something about how this poor child was told is all wrong.
Every addict needs to watch this! This is the reality of what addiction will do. I'm an addict, it's a hell I live everyday. I lost my children, my family, friends, and my self respect. If this video can change one addicts life, then thank Goddess!!
I wish I could put my arms around that little boy. This hurts my heart so badly. My birth mother died as a result of using and abusing drugs. That pain is immeasurable.
this needed to be posted maybe an addict will see the pain it cost unfortunately this little boy suffered way too much for his mothers high I hope he ok
I commend you for posting that all the other drug addicts need to see that and see what they are putting their child through there's nothing wrong with what you did and I'm very sorry for that child loss of his mother !
A lot of people had mixed reactions to this video. Some thought it was inappropriate to upload but I just want to say, it's a harsh reality and people think it can't happen to them. Stay away from drugs guys.
this should be shown in every high school classroom. most people say it's bad that the dude filmed his kid but it'll show people the true affect of drugs.
I remember the moment my mom told me that my dad had died when i was 19. I can't imagine hearing that news and comprehending it at 8 years old. This poor kid has been robbed of a normal childhood.
As sad as this is , it has become reality to so many families. We actually spoke to people that decided to seek heroin treatment after watching this video.
i lost my father when i was 4.. he got lung cancer from smoking :(. that was 13 years ago and till this day people keep calling our house asking if he's available. (he was an ophthalmologist and did SO many surgeries for free if people couldn't afford them, he was always giving and never asked for things if he knew the person couldn't afford it.. he was a great man and i'm proud to know that)
Being a recovering addict myself, this video really hit home and made me cry for the first time in a while. I've lost too many friends and nearly relatives to this shit... If they didn't overdose they committed suicide, and I've cheated death so many times it makes me sick just trying to count. This video brings back feelings that are all too familiar, and they are NOT good ones. Please, please, if you or anyone you know has a drug problem of any sort, *PLEASE* at least try to get them the help they need.
I feel so much for that little boy. It's not fair. He shouldn't have lost his Mom. :( I don't believe that the Dad did this for publicity. What do people think he's going to get out of this? A record deal? He's going to become a millionaire off the video? No. But instead it shows the dark truth of the selfish act of abusing drugs. It destroys families and lives.
I was a drug addict in my youth. The day my 1st child was born I just couldn't live like that no more. My parents raised me to think it's ok, but as a child I remember I didn't want that life for them. My kids love me so much I would never do anything to hurt them like that.
I won't say how I feel about the father deciding to film this awful moment but I will say that he could have at least held his son whilst telling him and not have the partition of a table between them ffs!
Oh my, as soon as the kid started crying my heart sank in my chest, this stuff just brakes me.. It's so hard to lose a loved one, it's like losing a piece of you.. 😢
I think it’s good they posted it because it shows other parents with drug addiction the kind of affect it has on their children and what the consequences can be. That child is in so much pain
My heart is breaking for that little boy! I couldn't imagine not being there for my boys... When people are deep into their addictions they don't think about the people who love them, not even their children. Addiction takes over their whole lives. This poor kid lost his mom.. people might see it as just another dead addict not realizing that to that little boy she was so much more then that.. Praying the little boy learns from his mom's mistake and doesn't follow in her foot steps
My mother committed suicide on July 31st with all of her pills from her surgery, I found her on the floor with blood coming out of her nose and mouth with her face wrinkled up and all a deep purple, horrifying and I still can't stop thinking about it, she'd be unidentifiable to anyone else. The pain this kid is experiencing is nothing that can be described with words nor visuals, you'd have to experience it to understand the fact that your parent/relative didn't pass away from something that is natural, but the fact that they did this to themselves. This makes me so infuriated of what drugs do to society. Now this kid can no longer see his mom grow older with him, or his mother watch him grow up. My anxiety from my mother killing herself has worsened, if someone important or not doesn't contact me within a reasonable time I can't sit still and I have to know whats going on or i think they've died or got in an accident. Sounds stupid, i know. But it's truly terrorizing and has scarred me, I can't imagine what this little boy is going through...
Joleenie The Weenie it is disgusting what people do for drugs and the fact that drugs are everywhere that little boy will be terrified to take medicine because he knew what he is taking for his health killed his mother yes it is a different kind of drug but drugs killed that 8 year old boy's mother
Poor baby 😥😥 his little heart would have be torn apart completely 😥 regardless of his mothers drug addiction, he would've loved his mum no matter what. My heart goes out to this kid 😔
This was too close to home for me. It's never easy to watch a loved one go through this but to lose your parent because of it? The hardest thing to deal with. You never really get over it, you just deal with it.
just heartbreaking, my heart broke right now hearing the childs few spoken words . I have a 6year old son and couldn't even imagine. all drug users need to see this video, but I know in those drug users, it won't change them until it's to late. I hope this father didnt use drugs with that mother!!
My mom died when I was 9 from a drug overdose. I was told she got sick one night and had a seizure. The summer before my sophomore year in high school my grandma gave me my moms death certificate and I read what her cause of death was and it hurt that I was lied to for so long. I then started piecing everything together and I finally figured out my mom had actually committed suicide because she was so messed up. I was the only reason she held on for so long. But because of her choice I have tried to make that same exact choice before. I could never and will never though.
I've been addicted to opiates as well as amphetamines for 10 years. I also have an 8 year old son. I needed to see this. My mom has told me a few times that her greatest fear in life is having to tell my son that I've passed away due to an overdose. I can't stop crying after seeing this. It really hit me hard imagining my baby in this situation. I want nothing but the best for my son & it hurts so bad losing control over everything. My son lives with my mom BC I don't want him watching me slowly kill myself each day. Thankfully, I will be serving jail time soon providing me with another chance at sobriety. I will remember this always. Thank You.
I lost my dad 8 years ago not to drugs but to alcohol . He was a heavy drinker and drank himself to death. I lost my mom at a young age ( I was 11) and from there dad went downhill. (Not an excuse for his alcohol abuse) . My mom died in a car accident from a college student whom fell asleep , she was on her way to work, and he was on his way back to his place from a friends after being up almost all night studying .He wasn't drunk or anything . I'll never forget being told she died , and watching my dad slowly "kill himself" .
I lost my older brother to drugs. He was only 26. Please guys don't do drugs. You are not only hurting yourself you are also hurting the people who loves you. It's not easy.
I can’t even imagine this pain. I know one day it will happen....oh wow...just no...this poor kid...I can’t imagine all my memories with my Mum not being there...and I almost took my own life when my daughter was very little...and now she’s old enough to have her own kids! Life is bloody weird sometimes..
We just went through this with a grand daughter. And like Brendan, both mother and father were addicted. Unfortunately, in our area, drugs are often laced with fentanyl and that's what got my grand daughter just days before Christmas, in 2017. She was a very bright, charismatic young mother with three sons. It is such a tragedy that so many of our young people are losing their lives to illegal drugs. I personally believe that the War on Drugs has ruined more lives then when these drugs weren't illegal. Other countries have legalized recreational drugs with good results. It is time we did the same so that drugs are safe, regulated, and taxed.
My sister died a little over a month ago, she died on October 8th from a heroine overdose. She legit was just out of rehab, she only lasted one day after getting out. she left her 4 year old daughter and everyone else, shits crazy
I just wanna hug him, my dad did drugs for a big portion of my life I never gave up on him though, but one day when I was only 9 years of he looked at me and said “I wanna die I wish I could just kill myself” and that honestly ruined my childhood I’m 13 now and he is better he is recovered and we are close I will never forget the time all I was doing was bringing him a sandwich at the street he was living on because he had no home and he said that to me but I will also never give up on him!❤️I’m so sorry for this little boy! I would never wish it upon anyone 🙁

Bonnie it wont change their minds.
They need to hit their wake up call.
Agreed, it could save some people who can change
Bonnie I hit my wake up call long ago.
why parents always make mistakes and the only ones who suffer and pay for those mistakes are kids!!!!!
I'm only sorry for that poor child!!!
Lamasafa Denna I'm sorry for the woman too because it's an addiction that literally changes your brain & who you are.
+jackie tye but there are definitely sometimes when she gets back to her mind!!!!! and see whether what she is doing is good or not!!!! or before she had even chosen to be an addict!!!! whether what she is about to start doing would affect her life negatively or positively!!!!!
I'm feeling bad that she got misled, for she didn't use her mind to differentiate between the right and wrong!!!!! I'm feeling sorry that she hadn't the power of will to change her bad lifestyle!!!!!
and blame anyone who was around and able to give her a hand yet didn't!!!!
Lamasafa Denna insha Allah some one some where will have learned from this! I feel so sorry for these children!
+ShayPeee Ameen!!!!
That mom completely destroyed that kids life.
I agree, but for a silver lining, she also might have saved his life. Addiction can be genetic and I doubt this kid will ever touch drugs knowing personally the effects it can cause.

Well it goes both ways. He may use them older in life to "cope" with losing his mom at a young age
+Elizabeth Pokos I hope so but in reality this kid will grow up with resentment and abandonment issues and in a world that's accepting of drug abuse (in most cases including this one both parents addicts).

i lost it at "what do you mean my mom?"
I couldn't even watch it. I just fast forward through it. that's how bad it bothers me. I know how it feels to lose ur mom at a young age. I lost mine at 14. except hers was suicide
when they told my little sister mom was dead, she went nuts. they had to give her a shot to calm her down...
Vivella aw, why thank you sweetheart. :) I'm OK now. It's been 20 years. Time really does heal. Except, u will always miss them..
Vivella i know it all to well my mom died when i was 16 i hope yout doing okay how ur sister doing?
Crazy Kitty lost mom at 13
Pretty Corra thanks for asking. We r not on speaking terms right now, she is crazy as hell. And hasent been the same since. She still child like in her mind. I love her but I can't deal with her craziness
Pretty Corra I'm sorry about ur mom too. It's sucks growing up without one huh
I broke down as soon as the baby said "how?" You can just hear his voice break that poor baby
I lost my sister last month. She had been in rehab for meth addiction and was going back to school. She hung her self behind a gas station. She left behind two little boys. We had her cremated.

+Canada Cubs OMG😂😂😂😂

Poor baby boy, I hope he's doing okay now...
This kid was surrounded by love and support when this happened, and that's a good thing
No he wasn't. The dad and his mom used this as a way to scam people out of money for donations and tried to put the kid up for adoption after this. They are both terrible terrible people. To this day he doesn't even have his son
This was the saddest thing I've ever seen I cried. I realized how lucky I am for all the stuff I have I am so sorry for that boy
Omg this breaks my heart into a million of pieces 😭 poor baby 😢 I'm just grateful for everything i have and really hope this baby boy will pass this hard time. ❤️
I just wanna hug this kid❤️

am hope that family that are on high drugs see this and what it can do to your kids a pray that this help
This heroine epidemic is literally life and soul crushing. As a victim of the heroine epidemic, it affects more than just the addict. It affects their family, friends, anyone who cares for them.

Alyssa Monroe totally agree with you, i have more than one family member that's been addicted to heroine and it affects not only them but the family/friends.
I hope it wakes someone up. If it's just one person. It's worked. WAKE UP!!!!
Mancy Meadows a friend of mine recently started distanceing himself from me and hanging with the wrong group, I didn't really care up until today when he came up to me and said ' Im gonna get rich with ( blank ) which means sell drugs, now idk is I should talk to him about it or not.
Florence Lalum probably not, they're not gonna listen and get caught eventually. I would just distance myself this friend.
I find it peculiar to tell your little son something of such gravity from across the table.
Christy Wright he only new hid son for 4 years and his son was 8 years old he was sitting next to his grandmother who has had custody over him ever since he was two so I think his grandmother is the safe zone for him and probably the best one to comfort him in that situation since at that time his dad was dealing and doing drugs as well
Christy Wright there's no easy way to tell your child that their mom just died
So true. It's was like he was telling him "sorry, no chocolate". You don't just tell a kid something of that magnitude from across the table. He was just a tad too casual in telling the kid this. That is just the mentality of a drug user, I guess. And who was sitting at the table. Did she even belong there?
Miss Marilyn I'm glad you agree because it seemed weird to me that he would put distance between him and his son. Body language says a lot.
Christy Wright while I absolutely agree with you. I'd also consider he was next to his Grandma whom has raised him since 2 years old. He didn't meet his dad until age 4, so being by her was best I'm sure. But I still agree with you.
These comments are so heartless toward the child. No one the world is so eroded and corrupt
Can't see one comment that says anything bad about the child , It's the fathers actions that people are pissed about !!!
I have a seven year old and a five year old! My heart ached from this! I cried too! This poor baby man! I literally can't man! I just want to send him all the love I have to send! Poor baby man!
As a mother I just feel like that woman was so selfish! Nothing and I do mean NOTHING comes before your child! If you wanted to be apart of that life don't bring a child into this world that didn't chose this!!!!!! I literally hope that this is a lesson to someone! Dear Allah protect that poor baby!
this made me cry my heart goes out to that little boy this is so unfair what his parents did to him
I cannot believe this is how they tell the boy....both are puffing on their smokes right in front of the child...then the man reaches for the boys hand with a smoke in his hand as he finally decides to get rid of it. Something about how this poor child was told is all wrong.
Not even one minute in and I'm crying so hard 😭 I just got ready for school and there is makeup all over my face
sarasyoutube 101 i feel you girl. hope the eyeliner is ok.
Emsan Msp it's wasn't =( had to re-do everything god damn
If that women was still alive she should feel ASHAMED! You can't let you're young child go through that shit.
I understand why they filmed this but damn that poor little boy, my heart broke for him.
So heart breaking!!! ='( Just hope and pray the father is able to now stay straight for his son!!! Drug addiction is socpowerful! ='(
I'm so sorry for ur loss... this made me cry...
God bless his whole family I lost my mom when I was 8
She had a stroke , stay strong kid you are gonna be a super hero one day
That child and his dad are so brave. I'm so sorry they had to go through this.
This was posted on my birthday, my birthday wish is that this little boy is happy, safe and healthy. I'm terribly sorry for your loss, stay strong.
Every addict needs to watch this! This is the reality of what addiction will do. I'm an addict, it's a hell I live everyday. I lost my children, my family, friends, and my self respect. If this video can change one addicts life, then thank Goddess!!
I wish I could put my arms around that little boy. This hurts my heart so badly. My birth mother died as a result of using and abusing drugs. That pain is immeasurable.
this needed to be posted maybe an addict will see the pain it cost unfortunately this little boy suffered way too much for his mothers high I hope he ok
My Stepdad almost died from doing drugs and it is the most heartbreaking thing a family has to go through
I commend you for posting that all the other drug addicts need to see that and see what they are putting their child through there's nothing wrong with what you did and I'm very sorry for that child loss of his mother !
A lot of people had mixed reactions to this video. Some thought it was inappropriate to upload but I just want to say, it's a harsh reality and people think it can't happen to them. Stay away from drugs guys.
FeroxCinereoLupus yes I did cry and you have a good point
Very sad :( I get why he filmed it but I still do not agree with the reason. This was a beyond private moment in the child's life.
Summer B. He probably didn't think it would go viral and wanted people he knew to see it so that they would think before doing drugs
this should be shown in every high school classroom. most people say it's bad that the dude filmed his kid but it'll show people the true affect of drugs.
a really close friend of mine just passed away from a drug overdose. what's worse is she had 6 kids under 10 yrs old. it's so sad and heartbreaking
I remember the moment my mom told me that my dad had died when i was 19. I can't imagine hearing that news and comprehending it at 8 years old. This poor kid has been robbed of a normal childhood.
This is heartbreaking. I can understand how the child felt. I feel bad knowing he has to go through that
As sad as this is , it has become reality to so many families. We actually spoke to people that decided to seek heroin treatment after watching this video.
i lost my father when i was 4.. he got lung cancer from smoking :(. that was 13 years ago and till this day people keep calling our house asking if he's available. (he was an ophthalmologist and did SO many surgeries for free if people couldn't afford them, he was always giving and never asked for things if he knew the person couldn't afford it.. he was a great man and i'm proud to know that)
That was absolutely gut wrenching. That poor sweet little boy. 😢
Being a recovering addict myself, this video really hit home and made me cry for the first time in a while. I've lost too many friends and nearly relatives to this shit... If they didn't overdose they committed suicide, and I've cheated death so many times it makes me sick just trying to count. This video brings back feelings that are all too familiar, and they are NOT good ones. Please, please, if you or anyone you know has a drug problem of any sort, *PLEASE* at least try to get them the help they need.
I feel so much for that little boy. It's not fair. He shouldn't have lost his Mom. :( I don't believe that the Dad did this for publicity. What do people think he's going to get out of this? A record deal? He's going to become a millionaire off the video? No. But instead it shows the dark truth of the selfish act of abusing drugs. It destroys families and lives.
So glad I got off drugs and alcohol and am watching my kids and grandkids growing up
I was a drug addict in my youth. The day my 1st child was born I just couldn't live like that no more. My parents raised me to think it's ok, but as a child I remember I didn't want that life for them. My kids love me so much I would never do anything to hurt them like that.
i'm a mom myself and it was so hard to see the child asking his dad, 'How?'. My heart breaks for that boy.
I won't say how I feel about the father deciding to film this awful moment but I will say that he could have at least held his son whilst telling him and not have the partition of a table between them ffs!
My heart broke. This is so sad. I'm blessed to have not lost someone very close to me.
This is so sad I hope that his happiness returns into his life.
heartbreaking. the amount of grief that hit him.
This is so heartbreaking I’m a recovering addict and have a 3 year old daughter I️ would never want her to go through this
I'm holding back tears............ this video is so powerful
Oh my, as soon as the kid started crying my heart sank in my chest, this stuff just brakes me.. It's so hard to lose a loved one, it's like losing a piece of you.. 😢
I think it’s good they posted it because it shows other parents with drug addiction the kind of affect it has on their children and what the consequences can be. That child is in so much pain
My heart broke for him, the things we put our little ones through.
My heart is breaking for that little boy! I couldn't imagine not being there for my boys... When people are deep into their addictions they don't think about the people who love them, not even their children. Addiction takes over their whole lives. This poor kid lost his mom.. people might see it as just another dead addict not realizing that to that little boy she was so much more then that.. Praying the little boy learns from his mom's mistake and doesn't follow in her foot steps
So is he still a drug addict or has he changed?
Simona Michaelson he said that he's been clean for whatever many days now and he's getting on a better path which is amazing
Simona Michaelson drug addict is kinda rude . Addict is enough to say
but how? he was a DRUG addict.
My mother committed suicide on July 31st with all of her pills from her surgery, I found her on the floor with blood coming out of her nose and mouth with her face wrinkled up and all a deep purple, horrifying and I still can't stop thinking about it, she'd be unidentifiable to anyone else. The pain this kid is experiencing is nothing that can be described with words nor visuals, you'd have to experience it to understand the fact that your parent/relative didn't pass away from something that is natural, but the fact that they did this to themselves. This makes me so infuriated of what drugs do to society. Now this kid can no longer see his mom grow older with him, or his mother watch him grow up. My anxiety from my mother killing herself has worsened, if someone important or not doesn't contact me within a reasonable time I can't sit still and I have to know whats going on or i think they've died or got in an accident. Sounds stupid, i know. But it's truly terrorizing and has scarred me, I can't imagine what this little boy is going through...
you probably went through something similar, if you remember what you felt when you found your mom.
Joleenie The Weenie it is disgusting what people do for drugs and the fact that drugs are everywhere that little boy will be terrified to take medicine because he knew what he is taking for his health killed his mother yes it is a different kind of drug but drugs killed that 8 year old boy's mother
Poor baby 😥😥 his little heart would have be torn apart completely 😥 regardless of his mothers drug addiction, he would've loved his mum no matter what. My heart goes out to this kid 😔
This was too close to home for me. It's never easy to watch a loved one go through this but to lose your parent because of it? The hardest thing to deal with. You never really get over it, you just deal with it.
He is surrounded by beautiful people 💕 God bless him.
I'm crying. This made me so emotional. I know what he is going through and I know it is so hard. 😭😭😭
just heartbreaking, my heart broke right now hearing the childs few spoken words . I have a 6year old son and couldn't even imagine. all drug users need to see this video, but I know in those drug users, it won't change them until it's to late.
I hope this father didnt use drugs with that mother!!
I feel crushed. To have the thought of losing someone like that is so sad😞
This is real. This is what people need to see! I hope helped at least one person!
I've never appreciated my mom more than right now
Poor child! I'm literally crying😭
Poor kid.. this is so heartbreaking
Aw the poor kid that's so sad this is heart breaking.👼🏻❤️Rest in Peace
This video tears my heart to pieces.
Why would you tell a kid this at a park? Tell them at hope what the heck!!!
My mom died when I was 9 from a drug overdose. I was told she got sick one night and had a seizure. The summer before my sophomore year in high school my grandma gave me my moms death certificate and I read what her cause of death was and it hurt that I was lied to for so long. I then started piecing everything together and I finally figured out my mom had actually committed suicide because she was so messed up. I was the only reason she held on for so long. But because of her choice I have tried to make that same exact choice before. I could never and will never though.
First the father should not tell the little while smoking like come on and I think the father is really brave to tell his some the true
I've been addicted to opiates as well as amphetamines for 10 years. I also have an 8 year old son. I needed to see this. My mom has told me a few times that her greatest fear in life is having to tell my son that I've passed away due to an overdose. I can't stop crying after seeing this. It really hit me hard imagining my baby in this situation. I want nothing but the best for my son & it hurts so bad losing control over everything. My son lives with my mom BC I don't want him watching me slowly kill myself each day. Thankfully, I will be serving jail time soon providing me with another chance at sobriety. I will remember this always. Thank You.
I’m so sorry. Everything will be okay! God bless you
I lost my dad 8 years ago not to drugs but to alcohol . He was a heavy drinker and drank himself to death. I lost my mom at a young age ( I was 11) and from there dad went downhill. (Not an excuse for his alcohol abuse) . My mom died in a car accident from a college student whom fell asleep , she was on her way to work, and he was on his way back to his place from a friends after being up almost all night studying .He wasn't drunk or anything . I'll never forget being told she died , and watching my dad slowly "kill himself" .
I lost my older brother to drugs. He was only 26. Please guys don't do drugs. You are not only hurting yourself you are also hurting the people who loves you. It's not easy.
This makes my heart ache.
This poor poor child. I couldn’t imagine what he’s going through
That's so sad I cried right away as soon as the dad told the news
I can’t even imagine this pain. I know one day it will happen....oh wow...just no...this poor kid...I can’t imagine all my memories with my Mum not being there...and I almost took my own life when my daughter was very little...and now she’s old enough to have her own kids! Life is bloody weird sometimes..
This is a very personal moment that should not have been filmed in my opinion. Exploitative to the childs grief.
Mossy Deer Bones They literally explain the whole reason he posted it. Seems like someone wasn't watching.
My heart goes out to this little boy.
Thats just too fuckin much, that poor darling child. God love him.
We just went through this with a grand daughter. And like Brendan, both mother and father were addicted. Unfortunately, in our area, drugs are often laced with fentanyl and that's what got my grand daughter just days before Christmas, in 2017. She was a very bright, charismatic young mother with three sons. It is such a tragedy that so many of our young people are losing their lives to illegal drugs. I personally believe that the War on Drugs has ruined more lives then when these drugs weren't illegal. Other countries have legalized recreational drugs with good results. It is time we did the same so that drugs are safe, regulated, and taxed.
It breaks my heart seeing the little boy crying..I feel so bad😔
My sister died a little over a month ago, she died on October 8th from a heroine overdose. She legit was just out of rehab, she only lasted one day after getting out. she left her 4 year old daughter and everyone else, shits crazy
"its just a prank bro"
Im a bad person...
Fuck, you made me laugh. God fucking dahmit
i sowwy
walmart brand kittens for sale i wish it was a prank lol
walmart brand kittens for sale it's not a prank this kids mom really died from a drug overdose
you dont say
This makes me so angry and so sad at the same time. Shame on parents who put drugs before their own children.
This is heartbreaking😭❤️❤️
I feel like after hearing "Mommy died last night" he was crushed. Like I would be so crushed if i heard those words.
This is just to heartbreaking, I don’t now what I would do if my mom died 😞😩😟😔
I just wanna hug him, my dad did drugs for a big portion of my life I never gave up on him though, but one day when I was only 9 years of he looked at me and said “I wanna die I wish I could just kill myself” and that honestly ruined my childhood I’m 13 now and he is better he is recovered and we are close I will never forget the time all I was doing was bringing him a sandwich at the street he was living on because he had no home and he said that to me but I will also never give up on him!❤️I’m so sorry for this little boy! I would never wish it upon anyone 🙁
