Hey my guy I been watching you and Josiah’s for awhile now I work in Baltimore city at a drug program called Powell of Recovery I wanted to know if we can try to work together and see if Josiah’s would want to allow me to help him in his recovery and taking control over his life it pains me to see him fall so low so fast please ask him if he would like to come try our program we offer housing mental health services and we have a lot of resources we can help him with if he allow us I’m sorry I had no other way to get in touch with you so I know it’s a long shot to get a response but I pray I hear from you
Get him some help!! Put him in a hotel room for a day or 2!! Just get him some help!! Stop doing Atlanta Street Interview if you're not going to help!! Not no 5bucks or 10bucks!
@@sharondouglas8471 U can't help an addict or a grown mental ill person unless they want the help. He has to want the help... Marcus is constantly coming up with suggestions to help him and he keeps turning him down. His mother said something about him that stayed on my mind. That was Josias want to do what he wants to do. He doesn't want any structure or rules.
I think you're missing the point. He's not doing the interviews for fame, he's doing the interviews with Josiah's because his family is calling to find out why he hasn't called lately. That is the whole purpose for the interviews with the homeless people. To reconnect them with their families. Everyone needs to do their part❤❤❤
Yeah...agreed. At first I thought it was a bad idea because josius can't even take care of himself at the moment... but idk I guess I'm rethinking that. I think the dog is for emotional support at this point.
Sure does. They only have each other and can only truly trust each other. They both need a safe place together. That pup could be in pain too. Animals can’t express their pain in words but through their actions. Those two are living in extreme conditions. Sleeping on concrete, not even as plush as grass. Not eating healthy balanced meal. This is America. There shouldn’t be anyone homeless, anyone living pay check to pay check. Housing should be safe and affordable. FREE and equal health care especially mental. There’s more than enough land for us all. I keep faith that we all are waking up to the indoctrination and lies of the American Dream. There was a mockery of the woke movement a few years ago, but I believe there will be a resurgence of this “woke” knowledge as a collective 🙏🏾
@@Gooddaysalways Thank you for saying this! We need to take care of home first. Every American should want for nothing and be safe, fed and as healthy as they can get.
I can't stand when homeless people have dogs. It's so selfish when you can't take care of yourself and you suck a poor dog with no choice into that life too. Poor pooch
@@C.Masala Josias dad did go get him but Josias left his dad's home for the streets.. The father even allowed Josias gf to move into his home coz Josias refused to part ways with her
Addiction mixed with a mental disability is a destructive combination. He gotta find enough strength to take control and make a change. It's all up to him.
I ran into him at 5 points.. I barely didn’t recognize who he was. I’m glad his face is healing cause it was way worse then this.. I told him to stay safe & stay out of trouble.. giving him encouraging words along my way to work that day. I’m 24 just a couple year older then him, I hate seeing someone so young lost like this. Better days are going to come though.. Hope God lead him on the right path soon..
I do agree with you my heart goes out to him and he just needs to go home and this is heartbreaking and I cry because I don’t want to see him this way and he doesn’t have to be out here and his dad came to get him and he didn’t want to go back home so what can they do no more than pray and hope that he ok and this is so sad i pray that he gets his life together and wake up and realize he needs to go home and I’m praying for this young man to get off the streets and go home to his family that love him because they is so worry about him so I just pray for him AMEN 🙏
The way to God is through His Son Jesus Christ. All Josiah have to do is believe and receive JESUS. So that He can be lead in the right path. God ain't forcing himself on nobody. Matthew 11 verse 28, 29, 30.
This video is proof that God has his arms wrapped around him. Marcus you are truly an angel on earth. And so is Juju. Thank you Marcus for being a vessel. 🙏❤️
Yeah right let yall tell it god has a plan for us all right... So its his plan what this young man is going thru.. amazing how god never gets the blame for the bad
I know what this feels like; I have a son refusing help, and it is hard to see your child out in the street especially when you can get him help. We all know this young guy needs help, but he has a mental illness and a substance addiction, yes he is a sick guy; he can't make rational decisions, and unfortunately, no one can make him get help; he has to do it himself. The only other way that he will get help is if he commits a crime. Right now his dog is his best friend and comforts him. I love his Dog, Lord, Father in Heaven, thank you for all you do for us here in this cruel world. Thank you for this young man, who wants nothing but to help Josiah. Lord, please let it be your will that he will want to come in from the streets and get help. God, please keep this young man safe, and continue to send angles his way. Amen, Amen, Amen. Everyone, Please send prayers out for Josiah!!!
That dog can’t go to jail with him. He will have a further setback in prison. That’s not a bad kid. Fortunately but unfortunately dogs travel in and are loyal to their pack. As a domesticated dog Josias is his pack. As long as they are not being abused a dog will follow their pack to the ends of the earth.
Yes, you can admit somebody against their will to go into a hospital for mental health or drug addiction, through the Baker Act law. Maybe he'd come to his senses within the 72-hour hold?
@@melishadaniels2055regardless of where he goes, if he cannot bring his dog, the Humane Society will keep his dog for free until he is well and available. It's a special program they have, I don't remember the name of it
Josia's response to his parents is def connected to his current living situation. He rather be on the streets suffering then with his parents. He does seem to have love for his grandfather. Hope he heals for himself, he such a beautiful soul!❤😢
He didn't even open his eyes and started to mumble something when asked he anything to say to his grandpa , he gives no fcuks he happy what he doing or he made effort when knowing his ppl are there if he would change his life, I've been in his shoes so I've known plenty ppl like him
@@andreasmith8509 don’t you wonder why that is? He’s obviously dealing with deep emotional pain as are many of the people Marcus talks to. Empathy is what makes us human.
I RECENTLY HAD A homeless childhood friend who was struggling to find housing. He had a dog and lived out his car. Housing opportunities did come several times, but by then, he had bonded with the dog and turned down many offers because he could not move the dog in with him to the places people offered. Once homeless people bond with pets, it's hard to separate them. One day, my friend got sick and took the dog to someone to watch while he checked into the emergency room. They discovered that he had chronic kidney disease, and he passed away at the hospital a week and a half later. I attended his burial services, where I found out through his family about his struggle with being homeless. A photo of his dog was on his obituary and listed as his close companion. RIP Shawn Mikell. (Don't know what became of his dog Bullet)
Yes, they do!! So do people who lose a loved one and get a dog! Dogs are literally unconditional love, well, they also love who feeds them, but not everyone has experienced that special special bond, like being homeless, missing meals, and still being by each others side!! Beautiful, but Your Friend Never Thought About If He Didn't Take Care Of Himself, The Dog Would Be Left Alone!
This is really horrible ! He can't stay away from problems . He's hit rock bottom . He needs to go home . I pray that josias gets the help he need before it's too late .❤️
@@pink3990I feel like the rock bottom statement no longer applies to this generation. They feel like hitting rock bottom isn't enough. They want to go lower than rock bottom, just look at this young man....
Grandpa if you read this please go to ATL and get him. I have a feeling that if you go face to face that he will go with you. God placed this on my heart as I normally don't comment. He sounded so pitiful when he said hey Grandpa 😢
Josias' deterioration is heartbreaking to watch. I'm praying this talented, yet lost soul can find his way home before it's too late. Right now he's his own worst enemy.💔I'm so invested in his story and his redemption.🙏🙏🙏
I watch all of your street interviews, and never comment. But this breaks my heart to see him beat up like this. I'm almost started crying when I zoomed in on him. He's really hurt and in obvious pain. Go home Josias before it's too late. Before you go home another way. 😢😢😢❤❤
yes this is the first time i have cried seeing him because I am truly scared the streets are gonna take him out and asked God to protect him I have a 21 yr old and cant imagine this.
I come before you today to pray for the protection of Josias and Batman his dog . I ask that you keep them safe from harm and shield Josais from the attacks of the enemy. Marcus thank you 🙏🏽 for all you do , God be with you .
Josias has a lot of prayers coming his way! I’ve been watching your videos about him for about two weeks. I moved to Atlanta a year ago and moved downtown. I see a lot of the people you interview daily. I have yet to see Josias but I pray for him daily! I have a son myself and could never imagine what his parents and loved ones are going through. Your plat form is amazing and a way for not only his parents but this city to keep up with his well being. I know you’ve developed a care for him and I hope he eventually listens to you! He is a little angel and with prayer he will be ok! We love you Josias with Gods love….. ❤
the ones leaving negative comments about Marcus filming.. look what you all fail to realize is HIS CHANNEL is literally the only lifeline for alotttt of these interviewees folks and family to check in on them, find them, and make sure they're alive. Yes some of the content, can make you angry, make you sad, or down right disappointed BUT THIS IS REAL LIFE ATLANTA STREETS and nothing is sugar coated over here! on this channel!
Heartbreaking 💔…. Thanks 4 the update Marcus & S/O to Juju. Please let Josias (& Batman 🐕) know he has ppl in Detroit praying for him & concerned abt him. He has the power 2 defeat this & have 1 of the most powerful testimonies current- he just gotta get sick & tired of being sick & tired - then tap into that power. The support is clearly there- he just has 2 want it. Peace & Blessings 🫶🏽
The guy that gave him food...👏🏾🙌🏾 and he shared with Batman. I understand the concern from all in the comments but this is the life he's choosing. He has to care about himself. We can only wish him well and hope for the best.
This is the one video in my opinion Marcus did not have to post. It breaks my heart to see Josias down and out like this. Lord we need a miracle for Josias.
@Arvin Josias gets a monthly check but doesn't use it towards shelter so why should Marcus? Marcus does allow for Josias to shower but there is not a lot one can do when they are dealing with someone who is addicted to drugs and suffers from mental illnesses.
@@ArvinCannon-gl9bm If Marcus gets him a motel room for tonight…What about the next night, and the night after that? Josias doesn’t like rules, and chooses to live on the street. He could simply go to a Men’s Shelter but, he doesn’t adhere to rules. 🤷🏽♀️
Ty Marcus for having such a great heart such a beautiful soul! U don’t have to do any of this but u do! We appreciate you and you’re the best interviewer on TH-cam!!
They’re not sitting back but Josiah’s is an adult. You heard his mom say that he called the police on her twice for trying to make him leave. His dad came took him home and he came right back. 🤷🏾♀️ keeping up with him is most important because he’s not ready
@@locdnlovely2435so the dad went down there one time and is going to allow his child to die on the sidewalk???? I don’t give a damn what my baby did…a parent’s job is to protect. He is 20 not 50
This makes you appreciate what twin is doing getting in school all Josias have to do is want it man he so talented this makes you have compassion for him god please cover him
Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa Please Do something, All of yall need to bring your butt to Atlanta NOW Get Guardianship of this Young man he's in Danger, Please Get Guardianship and have him committed to a rehab and mental health facility this is getting out of hand. I'm Going to Pray for Josias I hate seeing him like that.
DAMN JOSIAS. WHAT IS IT GONNA TAKE????? THANK U MARCUS FOR CHECKING UP ON HIM AND KEEPIN US UPDATED. PRAYING FOR YOUR SAFETY AND MENTAL HEALTH AS WELL. TRUST ME, I UNDERSTAND WANTING TO TAKE A BREAK FROM STRESS!!
God bless Josiah’s and I thank God that Marcus looks out for him always make sure he’s good and keeps us posted on him. I pray for him this kid has a place in my heart. I hope you can fight this addiction and get the hope that he needs he has a lot of people rooting for him. Marcus, I can hear it in your voice your tone that you truly care for this kid.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Not sure how I stumbled upon the first interview on this channel but I pray for this young man. I really do. May God watch over him while he finds his way 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This interview bought me to tears. I cannot understand why Josias is living like this, when he has family who cares about him. He nearly ate the plate. That was nice of the young man to bring him some food. Every video, he is getting worse. I am scared the final video will be about his death rather than his triumph. Is the father or grandfather willing to come to get him.
Marcus, thank you so much for helping Josias by never giving up on him and for all of the other things that you do behind the scenes. I especially love the spirit in which JuJu chose to give to Josias and to not want to get public acknowledgement for blessing Josias because that is in fact the way we are supposed to bless others. JuJu, you are going to be blessed beyond measure. I have to say that when I first saw this it really hurt my heart to see Josias looking like that. He deserves so much better than the life he is choosing. Please Josias I beg of you to get help before it is too late for you. You are such a talented young man, and you deserve a better life than the one you are currently living.
Marcus Thank you for bringing these terrible situations to light. This is really heartbreaking, Josias is so young, and I hate that he is going through this. I can see you really car about people, and I am hoping for everyone's healing.
I’m gonna go on my off day and find this young brother and welcome him into my home. He needs some real Love.. all of this publicity is causing some problems too 😔
The drugs and mental illness will make that a serious task. I felt exactly like this with Jamiyah. But honestly the conditions make caring for them difficult.
I really didn't have pity for Josias because he's still young and has time and needs to get his life together as a man but when he fed that dog Batman a taco first I was like god bless that boy may he find what he wants in life and he must take care of that animal and himself 💯
@@lashurediscussion4970 yes and you have to understand this I'm a man he's a man and I know what a determined man is capable of I was in his shoes do your homework Josias is doing what he wants to do he grown, not that animal but God bless him again God speed but I understand and over stand his dilemma no pity
@@hellabreeshhh oni god lil homie batman was just laying on him and shyt lol 🤣🤣 batman just ate the meat left them 1 bite taco shells 😂😂 yeah mans best friend
He suffers from a mental illness that he has been clinically diagnosed to take several meds for according to his mother and hasn't been monitored or taking his meds, Josias battle is not his own. He has an imbalance that he himself and everyone around him doesn't understand
Whatta a kind, generous and thoughtful young man, JuJu 😇 from Harold’s Chicken and Icebox….Thank You, for befriending and feeding Josias. Abundant Blessings upon you JuJu. 🥰🙏
Man, take him in. Offer him a safe space as you find him a proper rehab center. You can’t save em all but, as much as he carries this channel, you owe it to him.
Marcus has a family/kids he cannot take this young man in! Dangerous!! Josiah’s needs professional help, I wish some people could be committed. Please feed the dog!
If his parents/family aren't worried enough to come to Atlanta and intervene to Baker Act their son, all we can do is pray for Jo because only God can save him.
Marcus your a good dude at least your giving him good information you have a big heart when will this dude realize what is going on it ain't a game out here

Really? You can't believe the homeless , mentally delayed drug addict is sleeping on the ground?
You don't know most of the ppl he interviews on this channel is homeless and sleep outside in the streets
His choice
Damn Josiah 😢 your greater then this moment , I pray God wrap his arms around you.
U be everywhere
@@pillcosby3967 exactly 😂
Well go see him and talk to him fr
@@pillcosby3967He really do😂😂
Amen
He fed the dog first, so selfless 🥹 truly praying for Josius and his mom and family smh.🙏🏽🫶🏽
JUJU!!!!! MAY GOD POUR BLESSINGS UPON YOU FOR SERVING HIM SO HUMBLY. 🙏 🙌
I watch all of your street interviews, and never comment. But this breaks my heart to see him beat up like this. I'm almost started crying when I zoomed in on him. He's really hurt and in obvious pain. Go home Josias before it's too late. Before you go home another way. 😢😢😢❤❤
He was already home 🏠 but he left ◀️ due to rules
Take him in your home why not ?
❤️‼️
yes this is the first time i have cried seeing him because I am truly scared the streets are gonna take him out and asked God to protect him I have a 21 yr old and cant imagine this.
@@tristan583 I would if I could, but what for? His family wants him home. Why would I take someone child in when they trying to get their own child?
This breaks my heart of a son… I couldn’t imagine my son choosing the streets over being in a comfortable environment like home
There's seriously something not normal about this kid he chooses the street over a warm bed smh
@@tarabright3913he's hurting !
@@tarabright3913 his mother and father both said he has mental issues.
you are a woman , stop lusting over josias
It is the drugs making him make that decision.
I come before you today to pray for the protection of Josias and Batman his dog . I ask that you keep them safe from harm and shield Josais from the attacks of the enemy. Marcus thank you 🙏🏽 for all you do , God be with you .
Marcus , your going to have an award winning documentary on your hands . keep
up the good work
Josias has a lot of prayers coming his way! I’ve been watching your videos about him for about two weeks. I moved to Atlanta a year ago and moved downtown. I see a lot of the people you interview daily. I have yet to see Josias but I pray for him daily! I have a son myself and could never imagine what his parents and loved ones are going through. Your plat form is amazing and a way for not only his parents but this city to keep up with his well being. I know you’ve developed a care for him and I hope he eventually listens to you! He is a little angel and with prayer he will be ok! We love you Josias with Gods love….. ❤
This is heartbreaking. I hope he gets off the street soon.
I Need His Folks To Come get Him Today. Time is running out for this young man
I agree ain’t no way I can see my child like this uht uht and it’s about to get cold soon
The dog there for everything Josias go through ♥️ aka Batman!!
I so want to stop watching this channel out of fear of bad news about Josias. Seeing him just fall deeper is truly heartbreaking 😢
the ones leaving negative comments about Marcus filming..
look what you all fail to realize is HIS CHANNEL is literally the only lifeline
for alotttt of these interviewees folks and family to check in on them, find them, and make sure they're alive.
Yes some of the content, can make you angry, make you sad, or down right disappointed
BUT THIS IS REAL LIFE ATLANTA STREETS
and nothing is sugar coated over here! on this channel!
I'mma pray for this boy 😢😢
Poor dog is suffering too. The dog loves him and he loves his dog. Hopefully, he will get his life together before it’s too late.
Heartbreaking 💔…. Thanks 4 the update Marcus & S/O to Juju. Please let Josias (& Batman 🐕) know he has ppl in Detroit praying for him & concerned abt him. He has the power 2 defeat this & have 1 of the most powerful testimonies current- he just gotta get sick & tired of being sick & tired - then tap into that power. The support is clearly there- he just has 2 want it. Peace & Blessings 🫶🏽
This is hurtful to watch. My sister is a paranoid schizophrenic who has chosen to be homeless. Shes been off of her meds for almost 20 yrs. 🥺💔
😢 🙏 🙏
Josias fed the dog 🐶 before he fed himself.. that shows he has a good heart. I so wish he goes back home to his family. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Drugs make you lose your appetite
Omg this is sad, please god cover this baby and place him on the right track.. Mom please go get him.
Lord help this young man.. He knows not what he does..🙏
Broke my heart to see him feed his dog before himself😢
The guy that gave him food...👏🏾🙌🏾 and he shared with Batman. I understand the concern from all in the comments but this is the life he's choosing. He has to care about himself. We can only wish him well and hope for the best.
Harry Hippie. I can't help you Harry if you wan a sleep on the ground
Marcus you are truly a blessing, it is so inspiring you truly try to help.. Please keep doing what you’re doing.. Prayers for Josias..
Even the dog is like... Josias is my dawg and I AIN'T GOING NO WHERE.
Stg dog loyal asf❤️
Exactly! They are both homeless!
This is the one video in my opinion Marcus did not have to post. It breaks my heart to see Josias down and out like this. Lord we need a miracle for Josias.
This documents for ppl who care to know what's goin on
He could at least get him a Hotel Room for tonight.
Josias has a mother, father, and grandparents "Begging" him to come home. Josias "Chooses" to live on the streets.
@Arvin Josias gets a monthly check but doesn't use it towards shelter so why should Marcus? Marcus does allow for Josias to shower but there is not a lot one can do when they are dealing with someone who is addicted to drugs and suffers from mental illnesses.
@@ArvinCannon-gl9bm If Marcus gets him a motel room for tonight…What about the next night, and the night after that?
Josias doesn’t like rules, and chooses to live on the street.
He could simply go to a Men’s Shelter but, he doesn’t adhere to rules. 🤷🏽♀️
Praying for you Josias🙏🏽 This has to be pure torture for his family seeing him like this😞 Blessings to Juju for feeding him ❤
When he said hey grandpa it made me so emotional
I feel so bad for him, I appreciate you keep helping him. You remind me of myself every time I watch one of your videos. God bless you, Marcus.
Whole heartedly, praying for this young brother. Do the work, Josias
Ty Marcus for having such a great heart such a beautiful soul! U don’t have to do any of this but u do! We appreciate you and you’re the best interviewer on TH-cam!!
If only he were an illegal, he'd have food and shelter for 2 years with all the Healthcare he needed.
Ain’t that the sad truth😢
He could have these things too but the mental illness and addiction won't allow him to cooperate with those programs and processes sadly.
Reality… you comment pierced my heart😢
They just lookout for 1 another like we all should ❤
The difference is Josiah is hooked on drugs and dealing with mental issues.
He needs to stop worrying about them girls and get his life together
ikr…like get your mind & money right duh
Thank you Mr. Marcus 💯💖 and Mr. Juju💯💖 for reaching out to Josias💖. God💖 Bless Y'all
The way marcus calls his name makes you feel like he feel like a father to him
I have sons Josiah age. I could never sit back knowing my child is sleeping on the sidewalk. Praying for Josiah. This is so sad.😢
They’re not sitting back but Josiah’s is an adult. You heard his mom say that he called the police on her twice for trying to make him leave. His dad came took him home and he came right back. 🤷🏾♀️ keeping up with him is most important because he’s not ready
@@locdnlovely2435so the dad went down there one time and is going to allow his child to die on the sidewalk???? I don’t give a damn what my baby did…a parent’s job is to protect. He is 20 not 50
@@C.Masalaso you keep going back 50x? Josias DOESN’T want to go. You can’t force him cuz he’s an adult.
EXACTLY!@@locdnlovely2435
EXACTLY!@@C.Masala
He Is Not Gonna Make If He Doesn’t Save His Self 😢😢
Prayers up for Josias and Batman. 💙🙏🏽💙🙏🏽
🙏‼️
This has got to stop, he's getting hurt repeatedly and it's going to get worse and worse. I hope and pray he goes home soon.
That dog loves him. 🥹♥️God bless you Josias and Batman! 🙏🏽 God please protect them, watch over them, and keep them.
❤❤
Bless the man that gave Josias food. 👏🏿Not many of us would even think to do this.😢
He Needs To Get His Arse Off The Streets 😢
This makes you appreciate what twin is doing getting in school all Josias have to do is want it man he so talented this makes you have compassion for him god please cover him
Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa Please Do something, All of yall need to bring your butt to Atlanta NOW Get Guardianship of this Young man he's in Danger, Please Get Guardianship and have him committed to a rehab and mental health facility this is getting out of hand. I'm Going to Pray for Josias I hate seeing him like that.
Exactly! Everybody’s worried. But not worried enough to go get him.
This is a 20 year old man. He’s not a child. His family can’t make a grown person do anything.
I realize that But They can get Guardianship of Josias He is not of sound mind and clearly mentally ill, He's not gonna live long out there.@@LeoSun33
Exactly!@@C.Masala
EXACTLY! GREAT ADVICE! I hope they take your advice!
DAMN JOSIAS. WHAT IS IT GONNA TAKE?????
THANK U MARCUS FOR CHECKING UP ON HIM AND KEEPIN US UPDATED. PRAYING FOR YOUR SAFETY AND MENTAL HEALTH AS WELL. TRUST ME, I UNDERSTAND WANTING TO TAKE A BREAK FROM STRESS!!
I really hope his story turns around for the better. 💜💜💜
Lord father Jesus please wrap your arms around this young man and lead him in the right direction to want better for himself. Amen
IN JESUS CHRIST NAME We PRAY. AMEN🙏
AMEN!
SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT JOSIA. if he is on SSI for issues he has a POA they CAN GET HIM HELP.
What is a POA?
Power of Attorney
I think someone is getting his SSI check.
@@sandracorley3944yes indeed
True Tanya.this is just sad.😢
Oh my! This just broke my heart
God bless Josiah’s and I thank God that Marcus looks out for him always make sure he’s good and keeps us posted on him. I pray for him this kid has a place in my heart. I hope you can fight this addiction and get the hope that he needs he has a lot of people rooting for him. Marcus, I can hear it in your voice your tone that you truly care for this kid.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Not sure how I stumbled upon the first interview on this channel but I pray for this young man. I really do. May God watch over him while he finds his way 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Josias please go to rehab it
You change your life around
Please let them help you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please take him to the hospital so he can aleast clean his injuries before he loses his eye.
But he said he just got out of the hospital. I feel so sad for this young brother.🙏🏾
These streets kicking his butt, I pray that he gets help soon!
Seeing him like this literally made me cry.. he’s so young please Father God see him out of this situation😢😢
I just stumbled up on this guy's videos yesterday! Can't stop watching. There is something about this kid! I just wanna see him have a bright future!!
If a drastic change doesn't happen soon, I think everyone needs to prepare themselves for the update they don't want to hear.
😔😔😔😭😭😭
Sad but true. Now, he has a concussion, on top of all of his other issues. 🙏🏾
That's messed up he didn't have to beat him like that😢
Omg he doesn’t even look recognizable 😢😢😢😢
This interview bought me to tears. I cannot understand why Josias is living like this, when he has family who cares about him. He nearly ate the plate. That was nice of the young man to bring him some food. Every video, he is getting worse. I am scared the final video will be about his death rather than his triumph. Is the father or grandfather willing to come to get him.
Marcus, thank you so much for helping Josias by never giving up on him and for all of the other things that you do behind the scenes.
I especially love the spirit in which JuJu chose to give to Josias and to not want to get public acknowledgement for blessing Josias because that is in fact the way we are supposed to bless others. JuJu, you are going to be blessed beyond measure.
I have to say that when I first saw this it really hurt my heart to see Josias looking like that. He deserves so much better than the life he is choosing.
Please Josias I beg of you to get help before it is too late for you. You are such a talented young man, and you deserve a better life than the one you are currently living.
God Bless this young man.
I can’t watch this right now, it’s heartbreaking 😢😢
This is so heartbreaking 💔 prayers to this young king guidance over his life 🙏🏿
Marcus Thank you for bringing these terrible situations to light. This is really heartbreaking, Josias is so young, and I hate that he is going through this. I can see you really car about people, and I am hoping for everyone's healing.
Josiah has a good heart. Fed his dog first…he going thru it and I hope he gets thru it. And JUJU a good one too…
Please go home Josias, .poor Bateman's eyes are so sad, you can tell he has seen a lot of pain. 🙏♥
I’m gonna go on my off day and find this young brother and welcome him into my home. He needs some real Love.. all of this publicity is causing some problems too 😔
🙏🏼♥️ god bless you
Please be safe. He needs an advocate to help him through the treatment and recovery process.
❤
The drugs and mental illness will make that a serious task. I felt exactly like this with Jamiyah. But honestly the conditions make caring for them difficult.
Be very careful he has mental issues.
I really didn't have pity for Josias because he's still young and has time and needs to get his life together as a man but when he fed that dog Batman a taco first I was like god bless that boy may he find what he wants in life and he must take care of that animal and himself 💯
You are missing the point, he is spiraling out of control to the point if he don’t get his stuff hover. He won’t be on this earth.
@@lashurediscussion4970 yes and you have to understand this I'm a man he's a man and I know what a determined man is capable of I was in his shoes do your homework Josias is doing what he wants to do he grown, not that animal but God bless him again God speed but I understand and over stand his dilemma no pity
Shout to the dog 🐶 bat man he a real one that's Josiah best friend... Josiah loves TF out that dog 💯💯💯 like will Smith in I AM LEGEND.
@@hellabreeshhh oni god lil homie batman was just laying on him and shyt lol 🤣🤣 batman just ate the meat left them 1 bite taco shells 😂😂 yeah mans best friend
He suffers from a mental illness that he has been clinically diagnosed to take several meds for according to his mother and hasn't been monitored or taking his meds, Josias battle is not his own. He has an imbalance that he himself and everyone around him doesn't understand
Whatta a kind, generous and thoughtful young man, JuJu 😇 from Harold’s Chicken and Icebox….Thank You, for befriending and feeding Josias.
Abundant Blessings upon you JuJu. 🥰🙏
He asked the dog, what do you have to say, the dog looked over at Josias like "HELP HIM"
Man, take him in. Offer him a safe space as you find him a proper rehab center. You can’t save em all but, as much as he carries this channel, you owe it to him.
Marcus has a family/kids he cannot take this young man in! Dangerous!! Josiah’s needs professional help, I wish some people could be committed. Please feed the dog!
💯
You should take him in.
Marcus can’t take him in that’s not his responsibility is it anyway he can be admitted in a facility by force I’m wondering 💭
@@tyjacks8205 who? Me?
If his parents/family aren't worried enough to come to Atlanta and intervene to Baker Act their son, all we can do is pray for Jo because only God can save him.
Exactly. This is dumb.
You’re, right
His dad did come get him Josia came back to Atl again after the fact
Josiah is grown and choose to do what he's doin
Dad already did that
Marcus your a good dude at least your giving him good information you have a big heart when will this dude realize what is going on it ain't a game out here
This is so sad he reminds me of my nephew such a sweet soul that needs saving God Bless him
