It's ok...I believe you... You have been over working on this situation and the dad and cousin were waaaaay to agressive and unappreciative. I think he feels some type of way bc of how respectful Josias is to you. Josias clearly has an issue with feeling like his dad chose his gf over him plus he ain't leaving his Paducah Snow Bunny tho u can't fault her bc I don't think he was going to go back before and Emily now actually gives him a reason not to go back. She's not the reason he doesn't want to go back but he can now use her and a possible miracle baby as an excuse. He's grown and Marcus you've done waaaaay more than you had to but you can only do so much but Josias is blessed to have run across you and in some unforseen way may be a blessing TO YOU as well. ☺️☺️☺️ Y'all both have my genuine TH-cam support bc I was a little unsure at first. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes. She really is. I didn't want to say it but, she is going to be a bone of contention of them. The minute the family goes off on her and she's ready to storm off, he's going behind her and she knows that she has that control over them... as long as she is the one who will be able to control him, she'll be able to stay around.
Josias so stuck on this girl and he can't even take care of himself. This is toxic. Emily can't make his dad take her. Emily needs to be sent back home to her own family and get the help she needs.
My son is also 19 and if he ended up on the street; I’m not going to be forced to take her too. I’d do my best to assist her but not full responsibility.
As an old black man who grew up in the turbulent 60s, I would be extremely paranoid to be anywhere near an immature Caucasian female who is accusing a person she just met of throwing hints at her.
Emily is a huge problem! She's selfish and manipulative. She'd rather keep him down bc she ain got nobody. Shes extremely jealous of his situation. Sad
People keep commenting how aggressive dad is but I honestly think it's moreso pain and frustration. Dealing with a loved one that has mental illness is ALOOOTTTTT. Especially when they need help but refuse it. I'm not saying the dad is perfect and doesn't have issues....but I think he is really trying to help his son because he cares. Josias needs treatment and therapy.
Its alot of us who have family who is like this and it can draining to the point were they have to seek help and dont want to give up on them my brother inlaw the same way but 38 now all we can do is to continue to be there and pray 🙏 and do the best we can staying 💪
Unpopular opinion..I'm sorry but he doesn't know Emily from a can of paint. Its only been two weeks. Josias is placing her on a way bigger pedestal than he needs to.
@@FaithandNova I disagree. Their "reunion" should've stayed off camera or at a distance with their faces blurred out. Josias is acting like a kid and needs to leave the lil girl and go home to his family.
Every small break I jump on here to see what's new. I wish all dad's would come get their children like daddy James did. He took Emily WITH THEM for Christs sake!!!! THAT is love....but also smart as h&ll! He got him HOME.
Emily shouldn’t have come with you guys to something like this. She’s holding him back and it’s making me mad. Emily needs to go back to wherever her family is and Josias needs to go with his. “They will take him but they won’t take me and he won’t get off the streets unless I’m with him. He needs to be off the streets” “This is not how WE need to be” To me that sounded very one sided. It was as if she wanted to go but was upset because they wouldn’t take her. She tried to make it sound sympathetic because they have every right not to take her and she knows that. She thought she was gonna be able to further he adventure tagging along with Josias. All this girl wants is someone to manipulate and lay up under while homeless. She seemed happy once she saw that he wasn’t going. I bet if it was the other way around she wouldn’t have thought twice about Josias. Marcus: So what? We about to go? Emily: (Speaking over Josias) Yup! Marcus: You’re not going with your dad? Emily: Nope!
I don't blame the Dad or Cousin for not taking Emily they don't know her & Josias barely knows her! Already she's ready to go off with strange men to another state, and saying she knew Josias Dad from before, everybody wants a piece of her trying to sell her for sex, ( she's mentally messed up) ! ! She's jealous Josias has family that loves him, and want the best for him, and she doesn't. Way too much going on with the two of them!
Exactly 💯 plus she's a big liar. She claims she met the dad a longtime ago. How? When you just met Josias this little girl doesn't sit right in my spirit.
Mental health is no joke. That baby needs help- as does Emily. That father is amazing- this breaks my heart..very rare to see a concerned father who even though his baby is going through apparent psychiatric crisis he shows up and still offers support by means of REAL TALK. All this love this man is pouring over his son Josias,is the love and attention Emily yearns for... Sending prayers for their safety🕯✨️
Shes crying because he has family thats cares about him and wants him to go home...and shes scared that hes gonna leave her behind on the streets. She wants to keep him "down" with her...🦀🦀🦀
He needs to cut her off and leave her on the streets where she is, i can see her causing more trouble in his life she's using her white tears like a weapon its female like these that gets melanated men kill.
Sadly King Josias has lost respect for his dad. My heart breaks for him. He’s found comfort in Emily & don’t want to leave her. He has family that loves him and is trying yet poor Emily doesn’t have anyone. Whooo 🙏🏽💕🙏🏽
Them mf on drug n don't want to listen We all was kids once but this day the the drug they do ppl glorify n 🎶 TV ect. So they more comfortable doing it
They’re both ungrateful and disrespectful…. No respect for their elders… the streets will have a field day with them both. They gotta learn the hard way…. At the expense of tax payers.
I can’t believe Emily said everybody be wanting her 🤮. She really believe the cousin was making a move on her. Very manipulative …u see Marcus cut that conversation short real fast, he knew what she was trying to do.
Right. He's 19 for goodness sake. I know a lot of 19 year olds that are very mature. Some even have a child, and still take the initiative to be responsible and mature. Josaius needs to grow up. Everyone's trying to help him but himself. He's stuck in his ways, let him be. You can lead the horse to the trough, but you can't make him drink. I don't understand why this is an issue. Again, let him go. Anybody that talks to you in the manner he's talking to you, BABY BYE BYE.
Your right, sometimes you just have to let them go.Sad but true.He knows he needs to go home but. It's his way or no way.What else can dad do but to let him go.
I half agree, he's definitely hard to deal with if he doesn't get his way. However he's definitely touched and his 19 isn't your 19, no father who loves his child could rest when he knows his son isn't safe let alone his mentally ill son.
@@DISH2IMPRESS I think it'll be the opposite. Emily the type to go running with the next dude. They met and smashed in a train station on the same day. She's easily impressed.
Even though Josias and Emily find comfort in one another, the last thing they need to do is to remain together. I agree with the dad; they don’t need a TH-cam channel; they need help. They both have deep trauma(s) that need to be dealt with. Like many of us viewers, Josias and Emily have grown on us and we love them, but they need to part ways and seek help. They tend to hang out in the area down by my office and the colder weather is coming. Winters in Atlanta can get rough and the shelters won’t be able to accommodate everyone. I pray these two get off the streets and go home as soon as possible.
So proud of you for staying with this young man and showing him love. We all hope for the best outcome. It lets us know how much your work is needed . Much love for ASI.
@8:12 Did she really just say "We get seizures whenever we not around each other."!? BRUHh 😂😂😂. As serious and touching as this episode is, I just can't with HER...lmaooo
Vet she didn't have no seizure when she was having sex with that other man un the tent after doing meth. This will not end well if they don't get OUT OF THIS MESS
Emily is going to get him caught up in some mess. He needs to get in that car and never look back. She lies alot. Even as far as saying, "I met them before". Girl NO YOU DID NOT.
@@splashylife5695 you're not alone on this. I feel bad that she doesn't have anyone. They both need mental health care. It's not looking good for either of them. Praying for them both. Have a Blessed and Peaceful day.
Marcus, it's extremely admirable what you are doing for these two kids. Allowing them to come to your house to shower up and all the effort that you put forth to attempt to bridge the gap between Josias and his father. Thanks so much for what you are doing.
Emily is holding him back. She’s gonna get him in some serious trouble. And honestly I understand why they don’t wanna take Emily it’s not a good look 3 black men riding around with a young White girl, who claims she’s already been attacked sexually. I hope they both find a safe place to go.
You’re right! The way she so easily started talking about his family wanting sex from her. Girl say what. Even if that was true surely it’s not the issue at hand.
It was good the father wouldn't take Emily in cuz as soon as she meet his family she immediately went back to Marcus and said the cousin was throwing hints like he wanted her That girl is trouble 😠😠
Josias really needs to go home with his father and receive the help he needs to be a better person. Emily needs to go home with her family and get the help she needs. They need to go their separate ways. Living on the streets is not the way. They haven't known each other long enough to make a permanent decision. For his father and cousin to drive 8 hours to see about his son and ready to take him home speaks volumes. It's heartbreaking to see the hurt and pain between Josias & his father. Praying for them both to be healed from all the hurt and pain. Thank you Marcus for all you do to help others & spread awareness about homelessness. I cry a lot watching these videos. Praying & asking GOD what could be done to help to get people off the streets. I hate that homelessness exists on this earth.
Coming from a Guy that was homeless ... He can't leave his Girl Behind Even though We can see it's a Toxic Relationship... They can't !... Therefore He gots to learn the Hard Way... They need to be admitted to A Mental Health Facility ... Get their SSI benefits and Go from there... He's never going to Obey anything his Dad Got to Say... And his Dad doesn't have the Coping skills to Deal with a Rebellious Son... Real Talk !
OMG you're so right my son was the same way I lost him at the age of 30 ...4/19/22 my son did come from a loving family I had four Sons... he just kept following up behind this girl kept bringing her to the house he kept wanting us to take her in ...She was nothing but drama and she was so toxic now the kids are in foster care and now we have to do a DNA to see if they are mine......😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@OutspokenRR prayers up lanetia, I’m 33 and my mistakes as a young man behind a woman tore two families apart. Long story short due to her ignorance my mother doesn’t deal with my kids because of who their mother is and my ex turned her back on her own mother and my kids and haven’t spoke to them in three years. I’m sorry for your loss but I now realize some relationships or somebody’s can be more powerful than a drug
He has care, love and a feeling to protect his child though. He could've easily left him out there and not gaf. I do understand that Josias seems to want a more softer spoken father. His father could work on that though but they Josias is a whole kid mentally.
I can’t put my finger on it, but there is something really strange about this father and son dynamic. Something happened that’s way out of Marcus’s hands. He’s not going with his father. My suggestion to Marcus is to just continue to encourage him and look out for him as you been doing. Continue to be that big brother!❤️
From the fathers aggression displayed here it seems like there was definitely some kind of abuse. It seems like any father who hasn’t seen their son and has been so worried about them sleeping on the streets would approach the situation with gentleness love and maybe even tears of joy to just see his son again. But this dad seems very temperamental and angry.
I made a similar comment a few days ago. Ironically, Josius is receptive to Marcus, Emily, and others, so we know he doesn't have a negative, visceral reaction to people's presence in general, even when he's being grilled. However, the voice or presence of his dad makes him transform from nice and easygoing to angry and unhinged. There is something far deeper at play regarding their relationship. Something serious happened, but neither viewers nor Marcus may ever know the full story.
Very heartfelt situation. I salute James, the father for coming to see about his son even at age 19. This says a lot. Josiah is stuck in the middle because he's in love with Emily. Emily loves him back but they may have to part for a few months and get their lives together then reconnect. Josiah has to clean up his mouth and stop talking to his dad that way. He's still his son. He still has to honor his father, respect his father. Josiah think he's tough because he's been on the street. Look at his face. He has lost so much weight since we first saw him. He need to be inside, eating real home cooking, daily showers, haircut, but he's not thinking this way. He only see Emily and their relationship. God is gonna sit him down. Either he go home with his dad and listen or end up on jail so he can listen to someone. He's not seeing the big picture.
Marcus you did good. The children and their families need medical attention, counseling, legal aide, and social services. It’s sad but there is not much you can do at this point. Prayers for Josias and Emily
Emily smirking in the back seat while Josias's dad was talking to him really ticked me off. She needs to go, I can see the manipulation, he truly believes he can't be without her, it seems that she's planning to be taken in wherever he goes so that she will not have to go to her own family. Josias needs to go home and get rest and therapy. Dad and cousin came off wrong at first; however, anger, love, trust, & shock all blend together. I am so glad his dad brought his cousin with him as well, everyone is hurt. If him and Emily come back together after they get their individual living situations situated, then good, but it's about mental and emotional health and security now.
That’s exactly what’s wrong with most kids they can’t even take care of their selves but they think they can take care of their girlfriend. I mean what good is he doing her what good is she doing here
Emily is so alone. Her family really seem unconcerned and she has latched on to Josias because he’s as wounded as she is . He is the first person she’s found that she feels cares about her. It’s just a sad sad situation all around.
Exactly….This whole scenario we just witnessed doesn’t feel right. Something is amiss. Since that girl came into the picture, she has certainly contributed & added to his mental instability even more so. She talks entirely too much & jumps into the conversation where she’s not needed. Truth be told she’s Nothing but a manipulator playing on his vulnerability.
My sisters gf did the same shit. Peer pressured her into transitioning and I just know she not making decisions for herself and making her real family out to be monsters so sad....
This is so touching. I love that Josias has a companion and feels love and comfort however, Emily is making this about her. These emotional mind games and outrageous stories she comes up with to keep his attention is sad. I pray they both get help. His father is passionate about what he's trying to say but it is definitely too aggressive. Emily being in the middle of their interaction is such a distraction to Josias and she knows that.
@@denise76 I totally agree with you. That gal is toxic & definitely a manipulator. She’s knows exactly what she’s doing by playing on his vulnerability & I pray that they both are not headed down a path of destruction. This just doesn’t feel right. Red Flags are all over the place.
@@ericaendi4428 she's known him 2 weeks and already been in the tent sleeping with someone else. I get that she's likely afraid and lonely. Hence why she needs to go home to her city and seek public assistance there.
Josias has a father who cares and the urgency in his voice is real as the danger he's facing om the streets. The dysfunction is so deep...it's just so so sad
Emily is boiling my blood ! The smirk and the talking back… like let the dad and son go back n forth with no third party unless you’re trying to diffuse the situation. Hopefully he does or did end up going home. The streets are cold and don’t care about anybody.
He doesn’t realize that this is a life or death decision he’s making. No one wants to get a call that their kid is dead... and his dad doesn’t want to have to bury him. He needs to be somewhere safe and get the medical care he needs. Josious please go home🙏🏾
Yup. Josias' will realize it when he is older. His dad is trying to get him to his next birthday.....and then some. There's a great future ahead for Josias. He is special
My POV…J&E are feeding off each other’s pain right now. On the surface it looks cute, but their relationship may end up being toxic. It’s very sad that they experienced so much hurt and trauma growing up. Without extensive therapy and maybe meds they may end up repeating the same cycle with each other and any children that are conceived. Yes I want the best for the both of them but the reality is they both need to be off the streets and in some type of program to help them become responsible adults. Thank you so much Marcus for showing them both the much-needed love they always deserved. They both love and respect you and that’s really all children require growing up is love, discipline, and respect. Much love to you brother. I’m definitely praying that you will be able to keep helping them. You never know, you may be the one to get them set up with a place to stay, counseling, and whatever necessities they need. God got you on this and we got your back! Keep up the good works you’re doing in ATL.
When it gets too cold to stay outside they need to go home. I see some mental issues that were not addressed and they have taken ahold of Josias. He’s looking for someone to hold onto and it is Emily, who is 18 with no future and is running from her past. The chances of them getting out of this vicious cycle are very slim. They are young and immature and living in a fantasy world. I hope they make it.
One meet up isn’t going to fix a broken relationship overnight. It may take some time, a lot of understanding, maturity, and patience on both parts. Josias and his dad, should get some food, talk, take him shopping, get a hair cut, give him some money, and begin to rebuild slowly but surely! I’m praying for all of them!
Emily should have never been there. I'd be looking crazy too if you told me to take a random stranger in that my son just met two weeks ago and now I see why the men on the previous video said her mouth is a problem. She hears aggression, feels tension and builds off of it by interjecting and telling the dad to calm himself instead of keeping quiet; yes she is obviously special needs but she is also manipulative. Josiah is too, but his dad is overly aggressive. I'm stuck between he's an adult and his dad needs to calm down, and understanding why his father is appalled in this type of situation. Both of them need help, but I don't know if this is the way, but I know it definitely won't be helpful for them to be together... Emily is miserable and wants company... she has been traveling with men and doing this from the beginning of her story, he gets messed up behind her mouth and manipulation and she'll find another..
Emily shouldn't have been there honestly, maybe it would have been a little easier for Josias and his dad to really communicate. I feel like Josias has a family that wants the best for him and Emily doesn't, and that's the problem, because he's gonna stay there for her. Marcus Great job still!!!
I feel sorry for the little girl too but she needs to stay out of this, Josias barely knows her, and the dad doesn't know her at all, so he definitely doesn't have to take her in. On the 1st video her mom said she had a ticket to go back home, but she chose not to use it in order to stay with Josias. Sometimes when a person keeps rejecting help, let go and pray for them🙏🏽
This was a tough one for me. At work watching this, grabbing cleanex 😢 Really really emotional 🥹 right now after watching this. I gotta take a break from work to get myself together, this was powerful. Great work with your channel and Josias is extremely blessed and fortunate to have you in his life. You’re his Guardian Angel.
Sounds like Josiah's trying to avoid something about his dad about his home Life situation without actually having to say nothing. GOD bless them Both 🙏🌼🌼🌼
Agreed its like a person who want a hit Neal but scared to eat it because deep down they feel like the person prob poisoned it.. His dad has a aggression that is wild to me can't put my finger on it but if ur trying to convince someone to home to a loving environment then u wouldn't be thus aggressive..
Stop trying to make his father seem like he’s a bad dad bc that’s not the case Josiah has mental issues and he’s rebellious his dad can only do so much
@@bodakrainbowztv I like Emily also,but that girl will walk off from Josiah in a minute if someone else comes along willing to do more. Josiah has been on here with about 2 or 3 other women.He clings on fast. Give it less than a month and she will have moved on. As soon as she thought he was leaving,there she went ,everyone out there wants to sleep with her,to make his protectiveness kick in and stay.
@@okeydokey9693 you right she sure did talk about everyone tryna sleep with her and she will leave him but then again the grandma said she sent a ticket and she said she didn't go because of josias so knows the truth. But clinging to ppl is like a survival mechanism too
Dad let Josias go on about his business he’s grown, and has chosen that street life. Emily shouldn’t have anything to say because she’s no Josias families responsibility. I don’t blame them for not wanting Emily she’s a stray that needs to go flop on her own family. She’s a burden and his father is right not including her, period’ttt…
Damn!!!! The father and the son needs help!!!! If your son's struggles with any type of illness, the aggressions of a father will NEVER work!! Ephesians 6:4!!!! Initially Josias handled this with a clear, sober and humble mind. The father does care however, having a hard demeanor exudes a culture of division between the 2 in which neither one truly intended on happening!!! Damn!! People are really in his corner and we hope he make the best decision!! Josias, give your pops a fair chance. You both can and need to start over!! Hard and all, your father cares young man!!!
Lord have Mercy, this whole scenario was so awkward, the forced hug from the cousin😳These babies have both suffered some type of trauma. Lord work a miracle on Josias and Emily behalf, please direct their paths. Make a way out of no way🙏🏽
Josius speaks rationally and calmly with everyone except his father. What that leads me to suspect is that something negative and scarring happened in the home that put a rift in the father-soon relationship.
That's what I'm trying to say keep talking about fighting his dad the problem is that he thinks he got life figured out and he doesn't he is disabled and his dad knows that
Facts no fuckng way im feeding and housing them both and he talking like that let the world show him u bring his ass home and them junkies kill u in your sleep nah foh ill buy him a new tent and bust a move
Hello, I a grandma and I have seen stubborn kids before. This kid love the attention you guys are giving him. Do not fuss over this kid. Let him do what he wants to do. That is what he going to do anyhow. Poor ‘em.😕. You will be a miracle worker if you get him to leave with his dad. “Marcus” do not get too involved with helping those who do want to be help. Take care of yourself out there in the streets.
they absolutely love the attention. I’m 20 so i know the feeling of how this type of attention will only breed more immaturity and dysfunction..the results they get from all this will keep them both stagnant if they don’t actually take this opportunity serious and learn n grow from it. But wish n pray then the best!
Marcus is just wasting his time dealing with these losers. It's time to move on to more entertaining content. Leave em where you found them. Josiah is a goofy and a dope fiend.
@@takingiteasy6953 how do you know that he's on drugs? What signs are there? I've been around addicts my entire life. He has mental issues and he's a hurt kid who was never protected or loved properly.
Josias is a stubborn kid, rebellious, and obviously chose the street life. His dad obviously cares or he wouldn’t be there. He’s probably hurt and upset seeing his son on the streets. But at the end if he doesn’t change it won’t end up good. Wish the best for everyone and pray things get better.
@@JillianVSJill Josias is upset his dad took him away from his mother who was a drug addict on the streets, if anything he’s a hero. Just like any other being the dad has to recover from that too, hopefully Josias will see that his is fathers love is genuine and he just made a mistake in the way he decided to tell him about his mother growing up.
@@JillianVSJill I doubt the dad abusive. He seems frustrated. His son feels that he's entitled to tale care of him and Emily. The dad can see the relationship toxic and josias mentally needs help.
Her family said she's extra to, white chicks always try to act all hood when they date black dudes, chasing their behavior and how they talk to seem like their black chicks
SMH - Dad? You need to come back in the winter when it gets cold, and Josias can appreciate a warm place to stay. Right now the streets seem like too much fun, and evidently, he hasn't tasted true suffering. thank you for trying, and please don't give up 🙏🏽💕
@@mimilittle1863 they cold if you grew up in the south. With the way the weather is set up today, it’s supposed to get colder and rainier for us this year. 🥴
I noticed that. There's a deep trauma there. He used to be the hell out of that boy, no one can tell me different. Josias is stuck in the age he experienced his trauma.
It kinda upsets me how the father is coming at Marcus. Marcus has done so much for Josias and if it wasn’t for Marcus he wouldn’t know where the hell his son is at . The dad needs to tuck his ego and soften his character so that josias will respond better. The dad could actually take a page from Marcus book and learn how to be more understanding and loving .
Emily is lying and sensationalizing stories. she's scared that J will leave her on the streets, so she doesn't want him to go with his dad. That's disgusting. She needs help.
Amen 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 thank you lord. And thanks to you for taking this young man under your wings caring for him God bless you. Continue with your calling helping the homeless people in ATL🙏🏾👏🏽
I'M GOING THRU THIS SAMMMME THING MARCUS, TODAY'S KIDS THINK PARENTS ARE AGAINST THEM, JOSIAS NEEDS DEEP THERAPY AND TO SURRENDER TO CHRIST. THIS MAN CAME FOR HIS CHILD TO GET HIM OFF THE STREETS. THIS IS HEARTBREAKING, LORD I PRAY FOR PEACE
Emily has known Josias 2 weeks 🤦🏾♀️ and she’s talking about she doesn’t trust Josias family! WTH They don’t know or trust her either! They’re not obligated to take in, a stranger, even if it’s Josias girlfriend. Emily needs other resources….back in Paducah Ky! She’s disrespectful Now, it’ll get worse if they take her with them. Emily needs to grow up, and stop interjecting in their conversation….it’s not about her! 🙄🤷🏽♀️
Poor Josias I feel like he’s intimidated and trying to prove his manhood to his dad but he’s going about it the wrong way I don’t think he expected it to get this real when his dad actually came ..he was okay with the thought of his dad helping but now that it’s actually happening in reality he wasn’t ready . I love Emily but I don’t think that was the appropriate setting for her to be apart of because she’s fueling Josias behavior in this setting and distracting him from thinking straight and making logical decisions
Wrong cashapp my bad it was a long weekend lol
It's ok...I believe you... You have been over working on this situation and the dad and cousin were waaaaay to agressive and unappreciative. I think he feels some type of way bc of how respectful Josias is to you. Josias clearly has an issue with feeling like his dad chose his gf over him plus he ain't leaving his Paducah Snow Bunny tho u can't fault her bc I don't think he was going to go back before and Emily now actually gives him a reason not to go back. She's not the reason he doesn't want to go back but he can now use her and a possible miracle baby as an excuse. He's grown and Marcus you've done waaaaay more than you had to but you can only do so much but Josias is blessed to have run across you and in some unforseen way may be a blessing TO YOU as well. ☺️☺️☺️ Y'all both have my genuine TH-cam support bc I was a little unsure at first. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
then go
what I'm baffled
take her with you then james damn
make it simple just to get him home
Codependency is real. Emily is a dead end for Josiah.
Facts ‼️
Yes. She really is. I didn't want to say it but, she is going to be a bone of contention of them. The minute the family goes off on her and she's ready to storm off, he's going behind her and she knows that she has that control over them... as long as she is the one who will be able to control him, she'll be able to stay around.
Yup
He looks like he really wants to go ..but she is in control
Harsh and unfair
Josias so stuck on this girl and he can't even take care of himself. This is toxic. Emily can't make his dad take her. Emily needs to be sent back home to her own family and get the help she needs.
You're so right
My son is also 19 and if he ended up on the street; I’m not going to be forced to take her too. I’d do my best to assist her but not full responsibility.
Her own family doesn’t even want her around. His family needs to get him n she needs to b on her own.
She gone get him jammed up
Exactly
As an old black man who grew up in the turbulent 60s, I would be extremely paranoid to be anywhere near an immature Caucasian female who is accusing a person she just met of throwing hints at her.
Truth
💯💯💯
Facts!!! All she gotta say is the R word. And someone getting locked up on hella charges.
Black woman too these days
But fucc it his ass is grown leave his ass on tha streets with that dust bucket
Emily is a huge problem! She's selfish and manipulative. She'd rather keep him down bc she ain got nobody. Shes extremely jealous of his situation. Sad
I feel the same
Yes he need to leave her in the streets and go home
@Gotta follow God 💯
I feel the exact same way
First of all it's not about Emily
People keep commenting how aggressive dad is but I honestly think it's moreso pain and frustration.
Dealing with a loved one that has mental illness is ALOOOTTTTT. Especially when they need help but refuse it.
I'm not saying the dad is perfect and doesn't have issues....but I think he is really trying to help his son because he cares.
Josias needs treatment and therapy.
I agree.....Dad probably feels some kinda way when your kids is so disrespectful to him.
It’s pain and frustration AND a bit aggressive. I’m sure he doesn’t really understand and it’s not intentional. I get it.
Its alot of us who have family who is like this and it can draining to the point were they have to seek help and dont want to give up on them my brother inlaw the same way but 38 now all we can do is to continue to be there and pray 🙏 and do the best we can staying 💪
Yes it’s a burden ppl think mental illness is a joke
He also has a drug problem not just mental illness
Unpopular opinion..I'm sorry but he doesn't know Emily from a can of paint. Its only been two weeks. Josias is placing her on a way bigger pedestal than he needs to.
And she need to take her ass home to her family.
@@Wtf_jus_happened THAT PART!
That’s actually a very popular opinion 😂. She needa goooo
@@devino1337 Exactly
Plus she said her family is racist so he couldn’t go with her back to Kentucky anyway
I wish Josias never met Emily. He could’ve been off the streets right now. Let her grandmother buy her a bus ticket back to Kentucky.
Facts
She ain't going nowhere her family don't care
yesss
They bought her a ticket and she decided to stay with Josias.
👏🏾 she’s so annoying
I honestly feel if Emily wasn't around he would go home.
Yup your correct
Yes he would!
Nah his dad is too aggressive. You can see Josias doesn't feel comfortable around him.
I don't think he'd leave that easily. He left home before meeting her. Not like they ran away together
Absolutely
You deserve an Emmy for this series. especially helping their parents find their lost kids.
He met this girl 2 weeks ago and this a determining factor to his whole life.
It’s drugs these kids are on hard drugs !
This guy then started his own homeless reality show...got me tuning in like it's a damn TV 📺 show...love it!
Even though his father got mad about the TH-cam thing he doesn't realize how it might really help Josias.
@@FaithandNova I disagree. Their "reunion" should've stayed off camera or at a distance with their faces blurred out. Josias is acting like a kid and needs to leave the lil girl and go home to his family.
@@kurokaizen1889 it’s because of the camera they there
Me too😂😂😂
Every small break I jump on here to see what's new. I wish all dad's would come get their children like daddy James did. He took Emily WITH THEM for Christs sake!!!! THAT is love....but also smart as h&ll! He got him HOME.
I believe she's what holding him back from going with his family.
Emily shouldn’t have come with you guys to something like this. She’s holding him back and it’s making me mad. Emily needs to go back to wherever her family is and Josias needs to go with his.
“They will take him but they won’t take me and he won’t get off the streets unless I’m with him. He needs to be off the streets” “This is not how WE need to be”
To me that sounded very one sided. It was as if she wanted to go but was upset because they wouldn’t take her. She tried to make it sound sympathetic because they have every right not to take her and she knows that. She thought she was gonna be able to further he adventure tagging along with Josias. All this girl wants is someone to manipulate and lay up under while homeless. She seemed happy once she saw that he wasn’t going. I bet if it was the other way around she wouldn’t have thought twice about Josias.
Marcus: So what? We about to go?
Emily: (Speaking over Josias) Yup!
Marcus: You’re not going with your dad?
Emily: Nope!
For real
I don't blame the Dad or Cousin for not taking Emily they don't know her & Josias barely knows her! Already she's ready to go off with strange men to another state, and saying she knew Josias Dad from before, everybody wants a piece of her trying to sell her for sex, ( she's mentally messed up) ! ! She's jealous Josias has family that loves him, and want the best for him, and she doesn't. Way too much going on with the two of them!
I swear I wanted too say "Girl if you don't sit yo Re.... Nevermind..y'all know what I mean.... Girl Hush🤫
“Me and him have Seizures when we aren’t around each other”
Exactly 💯 plus she's a big liar. She claims she met the dad a longtime ago. How? When you just met Josias this little girl doesn't sit right in my spirit.
Mental health is no joke. That baby needs help- as does Emily. That father is amazing- this breaks my heart..very rare to see a concerned father who even though his baby is going through apparent psychiatric crisis he shows up and still offers support by means of REAL TALK. All this love this man is pouring over his son Josias,is the love and attention Emily yearns for...
Sending prayers for their safety🕯✨️
when Emily started lying and Marcus was "alright, alright - hold on.." LMAO
Shes crying because he has family thats cares about him and wants him to go home...and shes scared that hes gonna leave her behind on the streets. She wants to keep him "down" with her...🦀🦀🦀
BINGO!!!!
He needs to cut her off and leave her on the streets where she is, i can see her causing more trouble in his life she's using her white tears like a weapon its female like these that gets melanated men kill.
But will leave him in the heartbeat
Exactly cause Yu see how all that went away when he said he wasn't going and even she says No like wtf nobody asked yu
Shut up that young girl is lost She just wants to be loved
Sadly King Josias has lost respect for his dad. My heart breaks for him. He’s found comfort in Emily & don’t want to leave her. He has family that loves him and is trying yet poor Emily doesn’t have anyone. Whooo 🙏🏽💕🙏🏽
Because she doesn't have anyone she has a deathgrip on Josias for herself not for him though...
She stoping him from going back,and he don't wanna leave her either
Them mf on drug n don't want to listen
We all was kids once but this day the the drug they do ppl glorify n 🎶 TV ect. So they more comfortable doing it
Yes
IF Emily really care for him, she will tell him to go and that she is going to Kentucky with her family
Poor Emily and Josias. Wounded children attract other wounded children. 🙏🏾❤
Yep!!!!!! It's just like Fosters that "age-out".
Exactly.
Did I hear Bonnie and clyde?
They’re both ungrateful and disrespectful…. No respect for their elders… the streets will have a field day with them both. They gotta learn the hard way…. At the expense of tax payers.
She's narcissistic jaded a very dark cloud these kind of women WOMEN BLK OR YT RUIN BLACK MEN ESPECIALLY YOUNG BLACK MEN!!!
That’s so sad!!! But respect to the farther for trying to do the right thing by his son…✊🏾
Father
I can’t believe Emily said everybody be wanting her 🤮. She really believe the cousin was making a move on her. Very manipulative …u see Marcus cut that conversation short real fast, he knew what she was trying to do.
To Josiah dad don’t beat yourself up you did everything you can to be there for your son just pray for him 🙏🏽🙏🏽
It's a hard pill to swallow but often times we as humans don't have any control on how things play out. I agree with you
He may also be a reason he’s messed up
💯💯
@@Jinxcity84that's what I'm leaning more towards.
I think Josius is hard to deal with if he doesn't get his way. He is a grown man now let him go.
Yes, I agree. He seems to love his freedom of being homeless.
Right. He's 19 for goodness sake. I know a lot of 19 year olds that are very mature. Some even have a child, and still take the initiative to be responsible and mature. Josaius needs to grow up. Everyone's trying to help him but himself. He's stuck in his ways, let him be. You can lead the horse to the trough, but you can't make him drink. I don't understand why this is an issue. Again, let him go. Anybody that talks to you in the manner he's talking to you, BABY BYE BYE.
Your right, sometimes you just have to let them go.Sad but true.He knows he needs to go home but. It's his way or no way.What else can dad do but to let him go.
Yea he just being rebellious. He like the freedom of being on the street.
I half agree, he's definitely hard to deal with if he doesn't get his way. However he's definitely touched and his 19 isn't your 19, no father who loves his child could rest when he knows his son isn't safe let alone his mentally ill son.
Emily needs to go her own way before she gets Josias in trouble. They’re not responsible for you lil girl! Josias is so hardheaded.
EXACTLY!
Forreal. Emily seems like a burden right now.
I feel sorry for her , cause Josiah will eventually end up leaving and she gone be by herself
@@DISH2IMPRESS I think it'll be the opposite. Emily the type to go running with the next dude. They met and smashed in a train station on the same day. She's easily impressed.
She's definitely holding him back
Even though Josias and Emily find comfort in one another, the last thing they need to do is to remain together. I agree with the dad; they don’t need a TH-cam channel; they need help. They both have deep trauma(s) that need to be dealt with. Like many of us viewers, Josias and Emily have grown on us and we love them, but they need to part ways and seek help. They tend to hang out in the area down by my office and the colder weather is coming. Winters in Atlanta can get rough and the shelters won’t be able to accommodate everyone. I pray these two get off the streets and go home as soon as possible.
So proud of you for staying with this young man and showing him love. We all hope for the best outcome. It lets us know how much your work is needed . Much love for ASI.
His head band has me rolling
He always camera ready even tho he homeless. Bless you all
Josias starting a new trend. lol
😂😁😂🤣
He Kung Fu Fighting!!!! Hahaha!!!
Seriously
😂😂😂
@8:12 Did she really just say "We get seizures whenever we not around each other."!? BRUHh 😂😂😂. As serious and touching as this episode is, I just can't with HER...lmaooo
i think Emily said Josias gets seizures when he hears sirens. (i.e. emergency vehicles i guess)
@@lumiesgotcha She did, then a few minutes or so later she said it again and this time, she said “we”. I caught that.
@@lumiesgotcha I heard that part. Now fast forward to 8:12 lol. Tell me if I'm wrong
She'll obviously say or do ANYTHING to be Josias's "tag-along"
Vet she didn't have no seizure when she was having sex with that other man un the tent after doing meth. This will not end well if they don't get OUT OF THIS MESS
They didn’t want to take care of some random woman. I understand.
Yeah that's a tough one to accept an entire stranger into your house while trying to help your blood. For all they know she can be a killa
@@chalay2010 yeah we all know that a bunch of drug addicts and thieves live on the street. That was a lot to ask his family to do.
They special ed
I understand both sides but I salute the young bul for not wanting to abandon his shorty that is out there in the streets with him. Seisures and all
Course not
When Marcus said the camera is what got us here... That part!!
His Dad sees and knows his Son's Greatness
Emily is going to get him caught up in some mess. He needs to get in that car and never look back. She lies alot. Even as far as saying, "I met them before". Girl NO YOU DID NOT.
Facts I thought I was the only one who caught that
@@splashylife5695 you're not alone on this. I feel bad that she doesn't have anyone. They both need mental health care. It's not looking good for either of them. Praying for them both. Have a Blessed and Peaceful day.
I heard her say that too. I was like wait hold up 🤔🤔
Marcus, it's extremely admirable what you are doing for these two kids. Allowing them to come to your house to shower up and all the effort that you put forth to attempt to bridge the gap between Josias and his father. Thanks so much for what you are doing.
🖤100%
Respect
Amen
Blessings
Emily is holding him back. She’s gonna get him in some serious trouble. And honestly I understand why they don’t wanna take Emily it’s not a good look 3 black men riding around with a young White girl, who claims she’s already been attacked sexually. I hope they both find a safe place to go.
You’re right! The way she so easily started talking about his family wanting sex from her. Girl say what. Even if that was true surely it’s not the issue at hand.
It was good the father wouldn't take Emily in cuz as soon as she meet his family she immediately went back to Marcus and said the cousin was throwing hints like he wanted her That girl is trouble 😠😠
@@shawny6178 She is promiscuous and would be the type to try to hit on his cousin. She think that she is desirable
Sure will and and she from Kentucky too and we hope he don’t follow her there fool around and might get lynched and that’s talking with sincerity
As a father this shit broke my heart.
Josias really needs to go home with his father and receive the help he needs to be a better person. Emily needs to go home with her family and get the help she needs. They need to go their separate ways. Living on the streets is not the way. They haven't known each other long enough to make a permanent decision. For his father and cousin to drive 8 hours to see about his son and ready to take him home speaks volumes. It's heartbreaking to see the hurt and pain between Josias & his father. Praying for them both to be healed from all the hurt and pain. Thank you Marcus for all you do to help others & spread awareness about homelessness. I cry a lot watching these videos. Praying & asking GOD what could be done to help to get people off the streets. I hate that homelessness exists on this earth.
Coming from a Guy that was homeless ... He can't leave his Girl Behind Even though We can see it's a Toxic Relationship... They can't !... Therefore He gots to learn the Hard Way... They need to be admitted to A Mental Health Facility ... Get their SSI benefits and Go from there... He's never going to Obey anything his Dad Got to Say... And his Dad doesn't have the Coping skills to Deal with a Rebellious Son... Real Talk !
Agreed! Everything your saying is truth
I agree with every word.
Well said
OMG you're so right my son was the same way I lost him at the age of 30 ...4/19/22 my son did come from a loving family I had four Sons... he just kept following up behind this girl kept bringing her to the house he kept wanting us to take her in ...She was nothing but drama and she was so toxic now the kids are in foster care and now we have to do a DNA to see if they are mine......😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@OutspokenRR prayers up lanetia, I’m 33 and my mistakes as a young man behind a woman tore two families apart. Long story short due to her ignorance my mother doesn’t deal with my kids because of who their mother is and my ex turned her back on her own mother and my kids and haven’t spoke to them in three years. I’m sorry for your loss but I now realize some relationships or somebody’s can be more powerful than a drug
The problem I see is Josias dad doesn’t know how to effectively communicate with him. He doesn’t have high emotional intelligence.
He has care, love and a feeling to protect his child though. He could've easily left him out there and not gaf.
I do understand that Josias seems to want a more softer spoken father. His father could work on that though but they Josias is a whole kid mentally.
I can’t put my finger on it, but there is something really strange about this father and son dynamic. Something happened that’s way out of Marcus’s hands. He’s not going with his father. My suggestion to Marcus is to just continue to encourage him and look out for him as you been doing. Continue to be that big brother!❤️
Me too. I'm wondering did his father abuse him? What you think? Very puzzling.
From the fathers aggression displayed here it seems like there was definitely some kind of abuse. It seems like any father who hasn’t seen their son and has been so worried about them sleeping on the streets would approach the situation with gentleness love and maybe even tears of joy to just see his son again. But this dad seems very temperamental and angry.
Josiah mother was in drugs, he may just resent him for not being present enough for him. Who knows
His Dad hitting him probably caused head injuries, leading to Josias having seizures.
I made a similar comment a few days ago. Ironically, Josius is receptive to Marcus, Emily, and others, so we know he doesn't have a negative, visceral reaction to people's presence in general, even when he's being grilled. However, the voice or presence of his dad makes him transform from nice and easygoing to angry and unhinged. There is something far deeper at play regarding their relationship. Something serious happened, but neither viewers nor Marcus may ever know the full story.
Very heartfelt situation. I salute James, the father for coming to see about his son even at age 19. This says a lot. Josiah is stuck in the middle because he's in love with Emily. Emily loves him back but they may have to part for a few months and get their lives together then reconnect.
Josiah has to clean up his mouth and stop talking to his dad that way. He's still his son. He still has to honor his father, respect his father. Josiah think he's tough because he's been on the street. Look at his face. He has lost so much weight since we first saw him. He need to be inside, eating real home cooking, daily showers, haircut, but he's not thinking this way. He only see Emily and their relationship. God is gonna sit him down. Either he go home with his dad and listen or end up on jail so he can listen to someone. He's not seeing the big picture.
Marcus you did good. The children and their families need medical attention, counseling, legal aide, and social services. It’s sad but there is not much you can do at this point. Prayers for Josias and Emily
Emily smirking in the back seat while Josias's dad was talking to him really ticked me off. She needs to go, I can see the manipulation, he truly believes he can't be without her, it seems that she's planning to be taken in wherever he goes so that she will not have to go to her own family. Josias needs to go home and get rest and therapy. Dad and cousin came off wrong at first; however, anger, love, trust, & shock all blend together. I am so glad his dad brought his cousin with him as well, everyone is hurt. If him and Emily come back together after they get their individual living situations situated, then good, but it's about mental and emotional health and security now.
Omg....I peeped the same. She was sooo enjoying the show. It's a joke to her, she could give two fucks about Josiah.
Ong I peeped that too! Made my fist ball up
NOT IF SHE'S IN FACT PREGNANT IT'S NOT. THEY'RE A FAMILY NOW..
I don't care the fact his father came through I have mad respect for him. And Emily need to go.
I agree 💯
As long a he is not coming through in an abusive manner. If he is coming through with that energy the son is gonna push back.
That’s exactly what’s wrong with most kids they can’t even take care of their selves but they think they can take care of their girlfriend. I mean what good is he doing her what good is she doing here
💯💯💯💯
I agreei facts!
Emily is so alone. Her family really seem unconcerned and she has latched on to Josias because he’s as wounded as she is . He is the first person she’s found that she feels cares about her. It’s just a sad sad situation all around.
Yeah I feel bad.
I know for a fact isn’t the first person….she is a leach.
Same
Nah, you're pandering and condoning her psychological B.S.
@@natking1u1z99 this is exactly why a man needs to always be in the household…these women lack basic common sense
I can't imagine how Josias father is feeling, it's got to be tough seeing your adult child that way.
I can genuinely feel the love Marcus has for Josias ❤
if that little girl don't get away from nephew I'm going come to Atlanta myself
🤭
That part
What colors "WE" wearing? Lol!
I feel you on that, that little girl seems like nothing but trouble!!!
She's a manipulator and it was all about her. If she cared anything about him she would of encouraged him to go home. She gives me Karen vibes.
Emily seemed so happy when she realized he wasn't going with his famliy
She very manipulative like she controlling his emotions
She knows what she's doing
Smh
She is the way she looks sorry.
Yep 👍 she n back seat 💺🪑 smiling 🥲
This whole clip made my blood pressure go up I hope they get the help they need
I had to drink wine after this one.
I’m finnah light my blunt now I’m triggered WHERE TF EBONY I GOT SOME WORDS FOR HER
@@bodakrainbowztv I wonder what part of Ohio they come from? Columbus Cincinnati or Cleveland
Exactly….This whole scenario we just witnessed doesn’t feel right. Something is amiss. Since that girl came into the picture, she has certainly contributed & added to his mental instability even more so. She talks entirely too much & jumps into the conversation where she’s not needed. Truth be told she’s Nothing but a manipulator playing on his vulnerability.
@@shellyfrumtexas8021 😂😂😂😂
Emily won’t even sit back in the car, she really just want camera time & recognition. The way she just keeps looking into the camera is crazyyy
She is very manipulative over him 😡 he needs to wake up...he's acting like a child 🤦🏽♀️
Can u do a video on this QT?
My sisters gf did the same shit. Peer pressured her into transitioning and I just know she not making decisions for herself and making her real family out to be monsters so sad....
This is so touching. I love that Josias has a companion and feels love and comfort however, Emily is making this about her. These emotional mind games and outrageous stories she comes up with to keep his attention is sad. I pray they both get help. His father is passionate about what he's trying to say but it is definitely too aggressive. Emily being in the middle of their interaction is such a distraction to Josias and she knows that.
She definitely seem like a manipulator.
Yes, Emily definitely is behaving selfishly. That's not love at all. And dad needs to soften up but he refuses.
@@denise76 I totally agree with you. That gal is toxic & definitely a manipulator. She’s knows exactly what she’s doing by playing on his vulnerability & I pray that they both are not headed down a path of destruction. This just doesn’t feel right. Red Flags are all over the place.
You ever think she’s afraid of being left alone on the streets??? She’s safer with Josias and she knows it. Why not help them both??
@@ericaendi4428 she's known him 2 weeks and already been in the tent sleeping with someone else. I get that she's likely afraid and lonely. Hence why she needs to go home to her city and seek public assistance there.
Josias has a father who cares and the urgency in his voice is real as the danger he's facing om the streets. The dysfunction is so deep...it's just so so sad
❤️
That boy is headed down a path of destruction if he doesn’t get the mental help he so needs.
I see something different lol, the dad & the other guy seems hostile
That daddy isn't the answer. He needs to be investigated or at least monitored .. 😏😏
Emily doesn't want better for him. She just wants a bum buddy......
💯
Damn, A Bum Buddy.. But this is 100% Facts.. He protects her, if he leaves she gonna get tossed around and possibly even worse.
💯 facts!
That's it and that's all
@@kiana7143 That is codependency, not protection. He can’t even think or care for himself.
Emily is boiling my blood ! The smirk and the talking back… like let the dad and son go back n forth with no third party unless you’re trying to diffuse the situation. Hopefully he does or did end up going home. The streets are cold and don’t care about anybody.
He doesn’t realize that this is a life or death decision he’s making. No one wants to get a call that their kid is dead... and his dad doesn’t want to have to bury him. He needs to be somewhere safe and get the medical care he needs. Josious please go home🙏🏾
Yup. Josias' will realize it when he is older. His dad is trying to get him to his next birthday.....and then some. There's a great future ahead for Josias. He is special
My POV…J&E are feeding off each other’s pain right now. On the surface it looks cute, but their relationship may end up being toxic. It’s very sad that they experienced so much hurt and trauma growing up. Without extensive therapy and maybe meds they may end up repeating the same cycle with each other and any children that are conceived. Yes I want the best for the both of them but the reality is they both need to be off the streets and in some type of program to help them become responsible adults. Thank you so much Marcus for showing them both the much-needed love they always deserved. They both love and respect you and that’s really all children require growing up is love, discipline, and respect. Much love to you brother. I’m definitely praying that you will be able to keep helping them. You never know, you may be the one to get them set up with a place to stay, counseling, and whatever necessities they need. God got you on this and we got your back! Keep up the good works you’re doing in ATL.
I agree. They are definitely in a deep trauma bond
exactly, you are very much so aware of the whole situation.👍🙏🏼🙏🏼
When it gets too cold to stay outside they need to go home. I see some mental issues that were not addressed and they have taken ahold of Josias. He’s looking for someone to hold onto and it is Emily, who is 18 with no future and is running from her past. The chances of them getting out of this vicious cycle are very slim. They are young and immature and living in a fantasy world. I hope they make it.
One meet up isn’t going to fix a broken relationship overnight. It may take some time, a lot of understanding, maturity, and patience on both parts. Josias and his dad, should get some food, talk, take him shopping, get a hair cut, give him some money, and begin to rebuild slowly but surely! I’m praying for all of them!
Agreed! His dad came through, asserted authority and thought Josias was going to just hop in the car. Should’ve eased into it more slowly.
Yesssss, before I read your comment these were my exact suggestions.
@@jo5755 Yes, and all in all he needs to remember that Josias is a man, not a child.
Exactly 💗 🙏🏻
@@desireesalas5820 💯💯
Emily should have never been there. I'd be looking crazy too if you told me to take a random stranger in that my son just met two weeks ago and now I see why the men on the previous video said her mouth is a problem. She hears aggression, feels tension and builds off of it by interjecting and telling the dad to calm himself instead of keeping quiet; yes she is obviously special needs but she is also manipulative. Josiah is too, but his dad is overly aggressive. I'm stuck between he's an adult and his dad needs to calm down, and understanding why his father is appalled in this type of situation. Both of them need help, but I don't know if this is the way, but I know it definitely won't be helpful for them to be together... Emily is miserable and wants company... she has been traveling with men and doing this from the beginning of her story, he gets messed up behind her mouth and manipulation and she'll find another..
I'm willing to pitch in on getting Emily a ticket home.. she needs her family.
I applaud you Marcus! Thank you for looking out for Josiah... He needs positive role model with a level head like yourself.
Emily shouldn't have been there honestly, maybe it would have been a little easier for Josias and his dad to really communicate. I feel like Josias has a family that wants the best for him and Emily doesn't, and that's the problem, because he's gonna stay there for her. Marcus Great job still!!!
She is selfish
Boyyyyyyy Emily is DANGEROUS
Met them ppl for 2 secs and walked back and said they want a piece of her! Lmao then why they didn’t wanna take u mam?
Exactly!! She’s a liar
Swear everyone wants a piece of her
I feel sorry for the little girl too but she needs to stay out of this, Josias barely knows her, and the dad doesn't know her at all, so he definitely doesn't have to take her in. On the 1st video her mom said she had a ticket to go back home, but she chose not to use it in order to stay with Josias. Sometimes when a person keeps rejecting help, let go and pray for them🙏🏽
It sounds so good when Marcus calls Josias “my boy “ it makes Josias so happy.
This was a tough one for me. At work watching this, grabbing cleanex 😢 Really really emotional 🥹 right now after watching this. I gotta take a break from work to get myself together, this was powerful. Great work with your channel and Josias is extremely blessed and fortunate to have you in his life. You’re his Guardian Angel.
❤️🩹
Sounds like Josiah's trying to avoid something about his dad about his home Life situation without actually having to say nothing. GOD bless them Both 🙏🌼🌼🌼
That’s exactly what I think. He continues to be adamant about not going, specifically with his father.
Yessssssssss he wasn't impulsive either. That boy was hurt badddd
Agreed its like a person who want a hit Neal but scared to eat it because deep down they feel like the person prob poisoned it..
His dad has a aggression that is wild to me can't put my finger on it but if ur trying to convince someone to home to a loving environment then u wouldn't be thus aggressive..
I said the same thing and some of it came out around the 15 minute mark💯💪🏾🙏🏿
Stop trying to make his father seem like he’s a bad dad bc that’s not the case Josiah has mental issues and he’s rebellious his dad can only do so much
Damn he ain't leaving without her, and honestly that poor girl don't have anyone. Praying for these two, I wish them both the best.
They trama bonded they are mirrors of each other
Her grandmother sent her a ticket she trashed it.
@@bodakrainbowztv I like Emily also,but that girl will walk off from Josiah in a minute if someone else comes along willing to do more. Josiah has been on here with about 2 or 3 other women.He clings on fast. Give it less than a month and she will have moved on. As soon as she thought he was leaving,there she went ,everyone out there wants to sleep with her,to make his protectiveness kick in and stay.
@@okeydokey9693 you right she sure did talk about everyone tryna sleep with her and she will leave him but then again the grandma said she sent a ticket and she said she didn't go because of josias so knows the truth. But clinging to ppl is like a survival mechanism too
@Cheryl Nixon You feel for the girl even if it ruin his life!
Dad let Josias go on about his business he’s grown, and has chosen that street life. Emily shouldn’t have anything to say because she’s no Josias families responsibility. I don’t blame them for not wanting Emily she’s a stray that needs to go flop on her own family. She’s a burden and his father is right not including her, period’ttt…
She shouldn't even have been at this meeting..

Thanks So much for Helping them out I'm in Arizona watching your TH-cam video every day 😄👍🙏🙏
Emily needs intensive care and I can’t be mad at that gentleman for not having the mental capacity to take on so much of a responsibility
Damn!!!! The father and the son needs help!!!! If your son's struggles with any type of illness, the aggressions of a father will NEVER work!! Ephesians 6:4!!!! Initially Josias handled this with a clear, sober and humble mind. The father does care however, having a hard demeanor exudes a culture of division between the 2 in which neither one truly intended on happening!!! Damn!! People are really in his corner and we hope he make the best decision!! Josias, give your pops a fair chance. You both can and need to start over!! Hard and all, your father cares young man!!!

Now yall see how Josias acts when someone is trying talk sense to him. So imagine how he acts at home with his father and family in general.
Yep he listens and communicates when Marcus talks to him cuz Marcus talks to him with respect.
Josius speaks rationally and calmly with everyone except his father. What that leads me to suspect is that something negative and scarring happened in the home that put a rift in the father-soon relationship.
That man was definitely doing something to that boy and urs weird so many people want him back with his dad
That's what I'm trying to say keep talking about fighting his dad the problem is that he thinks he got life figured out and he doesn't he is disabled and his dad knows that
Like a Damm Fool
This father has done all he can to save his son. Let him go and love from afar. Good luck my brother.
Facts no fuckng way im feeding and housing them both and he talking like that let the world show him u bring his ass home and them junkies kill u in your sleep nah foh ill buy him a new tent and bust a move
Praying for them.Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏽💞
Hello, I a grandma and I have seen stubborn kids before. This kid love the attention you guys are giving him. Do not fuss over this kid. Let him do what he wants to do. That is what he going to do anyhow. Poor ‘em.😕. You will be a miracle worker if you get him to leave with his dad. “Marcus” do not get too involved with helping those who do want to be help. Take care of yourself out there in the streets.
they absolutely love the attention. I’m 20 so i know the feeling of how this type of attention will only breed more immaturity and dysfunction..the results they get from all this will keep them both stagnant if they don’t actually take this opportunity serious and learn n grow from it. But wish n pray then the best!
Marcus is just wasting his time dealing with these losers. It's time to move on to more entertaining content. Leave em where you found them. Josiah is a goofy and a dope fiend.
AGREED 💯💯💯
Did you not see him break down crying in previous videos?!?! This mentality is why it's so many broken and hurt people.
@@takingiteasy6953 how do you know that he's on drugs? What signs are there? I've been around addicts my entire life. He has mental issues and he's a hurt kid who was never protected or loved properly.
Josias is a stubborn kid, rebellious, and obviously chose the street life. His dad obviously cares or he wouldn’t be there. He’s probably hurt and upset seeing his son on the streets. But at the end if he doesn’t change it won’t end up good. Wish the best for everyone and pray things get better.
No dad obviously an abusive person
@@JillianVSJill Josias is upset his dad took him away from his mother who was a drug addict on the streets, if anything he’s a hero. Just like any other being the dad has to recover from that too, hopefully Josias will see that his is fathers love is genuine and he just made a mistake in the way he decided to tell him about his mother growing up.
I agree totally, but they need counseling and our prayers
Any patent that tells their child to kill themselves is a terrible person. Josias is a hurt child. He's never felt loved or accepted.
@@JillianVSJill I doubt the dad abusive. He seems frustrated. His son feels that he's entitled to tale care of him and Emily. The dad can see the relationship toxic and josias mentally needs help.
Emily should’ve stayed in the car while this reunion took place.
Praying hard about this situation. Psalms 138:8 God will perfect everything concerning both of them! 🙌🏽🙏🏾❤️
Dad shouldve had him admitted on a 5150 hold
Emily is so extra.
And delusional
She mental health
She be having me 😂 I hate they in this place so young
The part about them having seizures when they are not together….. please insert an eye roll
Her family said she's extra to, white chicks always try to act all hood when they date black dudes, chasing their behavior and how they talk to seem like their black chicks
SMH - Dad? You need to come back in the winter when it gets cold, and Josias can appreciate a warm place to stay. Right now the streets seem like too much fun, and evidently, he hasn't tasted true suffering. thank you for trying, and please don't give up 🙏🏽💕
That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm not sure how cold winters are in Atlanta, but obviously he hasn't had a taste of the hawk yet.
amen 🙏🏽
@@mimilittle1863 they cold if you grew up in the south. With the way the weather is set up today, it’s supposed to get colder and rainier for us this year. 🥴
@@honeybunny199145 Not good at all for them. I really hope they both find somewhere to go. They're too young for this.
U don’t know what he been through
He needs to be away from the manipulative girl. She's very dangerous...
Yes
They need to watch that devil 👿 close
I'm on the dad's side
You’re awesome Marcus. Keep doing what you are doing. God bless you
Thank you for posting part 2 today now let me go watch
Josias' verbiage & mannerisms change when he talks AT his dad......reverts to a child.
I noticed that. There's a deep trauma there. He used to be the hell out of that boy, no one can tell me different. Josias is stuck in the age he experienced his trauma.
It kinda upsets me how the father is coming at Marcus. Marcus has done so much for Josias and if it wasn’t for Marcus he wouldn’t know where the hell his son is at . The dad needs to tuck his ego and soften his character so that josias will respond better. The dad could actually take a page from Marcus book and learn how to be more understanding and loving .
Take a page from Marcus’ book!!! You said a word!!
Emily is lying and sensationalizing stories. she's scared that J will leave her on the streets, so she doesn't want him to go with his dad. That's disgusting. She needs help.
S/O to James & his cousin! Black families need to stick together ❤
She needs to let him go
That part and I feel the dad wholeheartedly. The society we live in, 3 black men riding away with a white girl😕 let's just be real!
Something's weird with this situation.
I feel the same way there's pieces to the puzzle missing
💯
@@mysteriesuntold3393 exactly. Something isn't being said by the dad.
She need to go home 🏡 and he need to go home 🏠 period
Amen 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 thank you lord. And thanks to you for taking this young man under your wings caring for him God bless you. Continue with your calling helping the homeless people in ATL🙏🏾👏🏽
Respect to the dad ❤💪🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿
I'M GOING THRU THIS SAMMMME THING MARCUS, TODAY'S KIDS THINK PARENTS ARE AGAINST THEM, JOSIAS NEEDS DEEP THERAPY AND TO SURRENDER TO CHRIST. THIS MAN CAME FOR HIS CHILD TO GET HIM OFF THE STREETS. THIS IS HEARTBREAKING, LORD I PRAY FOR PEACE
Emily has known Josias 2 weeks 🤦🏾♀️ and she’s talking about she doesn’t trust Josias family! WTH
They don’t know or trust her either!
They’re not obligated to take in, a stranger, even if it’s Josias girlfriend.
Emily needs other resources….back in Paducah Ky! She’s disrespectful Now, it’ll get worse if they take her with them.
Emily needs to grow up, and stop interjecting in their conversation….it’s not about her! 🙄🤷🏽♀️
Poor Josias I feel like he’s intimidated and trying to prove his manhood to his dad but he’s going about it the wrong way I don’t think he expected it to get this real when his dad actually came ..he was okay with the thought of his dad helping but now that it’s actually happening in reality he wasn’t ready . I love Emily but I don’t think that was the appropriate setting for her to be apart of because she’s fueling Josias behavior in this setting and distracting him from thinking straight and making logical decisions
Oh I came in on the good part! Josias is so precious. He reminds me of my own son. I hope he can get past his pain and it all works out ❤
