You’re telling him the universe is going to spank his butt?? Knowing that he just disclosed to you that he’s getting hit for no reason? He needs support, he needs help, he needs guidance and he doesn’t need people Like you telling him he doesn’t know anything. This is a hot mess Marcus. Please stop traumatizing these people with these horrible questions. I’m a domestic violence counselor and the worst thing you can do is blame a victim when they’re a product of neglect and abuse. Absolutely ignorant of you. Shame on you.

[@cynthiajones6013]

Wow 🤦🏾‍♀️ It’s his Aunt that hit him, not his Mom. He was living with his aunt, and she sent him to Mom, a month ago. He punched a hole in his aunts door, he did/ does need to be held accountable & responsible, for his actions! There’s No justification for him, damaging property because he was angry, or upset! The young man paid $90 for the repairs, after his friend suggested that he pay for it. Marcus, Did Not victim blame, shame or traumatize, this 14 Y.O. kid, or his Mom! 🙄 As a “ Domestic Violence Counselor”, You attacked Atl Street Interviews/ Marcus & the Mom Harshly, Maybe you didn’t watch both videos 🤷🏽‍♀️ Or just Projecting? Marcus was right, at 14 y.o. He doesn’t know anything, about everything…As most teenagers think, that they do! He wasn’t out of line at all…The kid, or his Mom wasn’t offended…You do Know, there’s some discussion between Atl Street Interviews, and the interviewee’s before, the camera starts…🤷🏽‍♀️ The Mom deserves some Grace, life has not been a crystal staircase for her, and sometimes ppl are doing their best, at that particular moment. I praying that she gets the medical care, that she needs…There’s still Hope for her. 🙏

I wish he didn’t record underage children because like he said he’s not going to school because everybody know he’s homeless. These videos are worldwide, and no escaping them now. After Marcus puts them out, other people snatch them up and blast them all over social media. They will even see the video in Florida. Online school is a blessing for some.

U some bs for asking this kid about his mom selling herself whether he knows it or not man like wtf

[@infamousdee2006]

He want bro to go to school even tho he uploading this video about them being homeless and the mom giving business for money come on now.... obv he need school but does marcus even realize what he is saying like you about to have this kid embarrassed

[@theDOUBLExR]

Take this shit down bruh It’s ppl already preying on them without you putting em out here like this he’s just a kid

[@amb2810]

Seriously this is out of control!!

[@debrahudson6324]

He's building his you tube business off of people's misery. The stories are tear jerkers and people will watch. His subs and views go up. This is how Oprah elevated. Different avenues but same template, people's vulnerabilities and misery. That's why he follows Josiah, Chris and the others. They're good for views, likes, comments, subs and income. I've seen him coax people into divulging sexual and vulgar personal info. He has no boundaries. He seems to become excited when sexual conversations get gritty. Sure he wants to come across as a benevolent, caring person. There is a financial gain in it for him. These kids shouldn't be on you tube and their lives blasted over the social media. They have no representation or adults to monitor the questions being asked. The young man kept trying to hide his identity but he wanted him to fully disclose his face. WHY? For the video to serve his purposes. I've watched a lot of these episodes, have heard his name but not seen HIS face. What is his backstory? Why are you trolling the streets seeking out the homeless and the most vulnerable lost souls that will provide good content for your hustle? You're making money off of their addictions, mental illnesses and traumas. You're the only one that seems to be benefitting. They should sue you for using their name, images and likeness for self gain. Sad. I pray this family finds shelter and security and not be taken advantage of.

[@febrecordz4032]

If dude just said he didn’t want to say what his mom did for money why would he want to tell you how he feels about it

[@groovyy_bastardd]

"You'll be me, a G!!” - in reference to he not having in his father in his life. That has to be the realest statement ever! 😥😢 MEN!!!!! We have to be PRESENT in our kids lives!!!🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@IntenseEmotionz]

This young man is correct he was with his mom the whole time she didn't sign papers so he was technically still under her i understood him

[@S.M.SuperHero]

He is such a bright, intelligent, articulate, personable, and handsome young man! He reminds me of both of my sons. (both of whom are over 18) If his momma don't hurry and get her life together and get this young man off the streets, this will be A WHOLE LOT OF WASTED POTENTIAL!

[@niamanirivera9563]

He sure is

[@lilmama7743]

I don't think you should have put him out there like this

[@lisahoward1851]

No why you put the child on here smdh. That baby needs to be in school somewhere

[@Juelstone]

I can tell he’s streetwise. His head is on a swivel. He watches over his mom. He’s young, and it’s still hope for him. His mother has to do better for him before the streets take him.

[@Shejustkeepswinning]

I really don't understand the "DAD" questions! I mean what can the child do if the father doesn't want to be bothered and hasn't been around. Yes, he can dream and wish upon a star, but the facts and truth of the matter is that his father was not there when he was young and he's not around now! So, I do hear it all the time that the black women are their father and their mother. This is the position the mother has been placed in......... not by choice.

[@donna9127]

I see potential in this kid he loves his mom ❤... he is gonna be by her side

[@KennethScott-w2d]

Facts

[@creativekg]

This young man is very humble. Maybe you should add a mentoring course for these young men and women. Especially since their stories are being broadcasted around the world. You have to listen to their stories and not just tell them why they are the way they are.

[@denise8958]

This person doesn't care about them..only the money that he is making off of them

[@m.htruth8880]

This dude doesn't need to be setting up any mentoring it'll probably revolve around the teachings of the cult he's in too.

He is a child. His mind should be on child like things. These kids need a safe,secure, and nurturing environment that they can thrive. It's sad that this is what our society has come to.

[@infamousdee2006]

This weird I ain’t gone hold you you already interviewed the mom no point in interviewing the son and then asking him such questions while moms in the background then you got an aggressive tone with him not too aggressive but still none the less

[@miguelfelipechristian9917]

He has potential. He just needs guidance. He’ll be just fine.

[@AtlantisIsMyHome]

I see one common theme in your interviews and that’s BM abandoning their children… collective cowards!

[@keshapotts3672]

🙏🏾 to this young man. He has a good ❤. It shows in the love and respect he has for his mother. I hope she gets it together. He deserves a chance at life.

[@franceswhite6782]

He is a provider and protector, age is the only hold up he will ever have.

[@Jenjenn1111]

His mother need to get it together and stop selling her body. This is terrible! She doesn’t HAVE to do it…she WANTS to do that. Imagine selling your body and still broke and homeless…might as well not even do it! And he shouldn’t have to deal with the pressure of taking care of his mother. The parent takes care of the child.

[@Authentically.Shae.]

This interview really triggered me because the entire time you interviewed him as if he was a criminal or the reason he is in the situation he is in🤦🏾‍♀️ that young man is definitely ahead of his times 💪🏾🫶🏾

[@yasmeenm2078]

You know the main way to help people is to listen to them. I understand that you may interview alot of people but remember that you dont know them. This little boy mindset is Focused. He needs guidance. Also feeling like you may know people is putting yourself in their shoes. I've watched multiple of your interviews and ive noticed somethings that are a little alarming. Other than finding a lane that most people may not have the Guts to do. When the camera comes on and you are infront of Ppl. Even with a little incentive or not They are open to speaking with you. ITS not cool to know that your leaving these situations Open!!! Yes you are asking innocent questions but let's not act like you don't have to leave. 4 Example Josiah and his dad. HE started out as a feature with someone else and lied about who he was. But 4 some reason GOD called him to you as you were creating a lane or agenda. This platform is Special and a little heavy on Pride with the way you Conduct these questions. As I stated already it looks innocent until you have multiple of young and older teenagers finding you on the street mingling or actually Homeless and you interview them with a air of knowing. Which in all actually isn't Genuine. You can pick apart and create your Own detail. From what I said. Until you start talking to these ppl from putting yourself in their shoes you actually will help. Other than that Your Just Exposing ppls Situations that they have to go and see if they have the option. Take what help you may or may not provide and just be better. You should pray Sir for and with them. NOT every one have a broken story. Most just was raised by broken Ppl. HELP ain't help unless you see change or appreciation. Most these ppl after your interviews look confused as in perspective. Once you leave they can spiral or actually want change. It just hits different when you care and are not looking for Content.

[@wrightphotos1759]

I’m 64 years old and I tell my 17 year old grandson the same thing you told that young man towards the end of the interview you’re 100%correct about his education he needs to at least complete high school and again explaining to him that you’ve experienced 3 times his life gives you the insight to impart practical knowledge that can benefit him in his journey to manhood stay in touch with this young man if you can’t and seed into his life because us as seasoned men understand that the streets don’t love or care for anyone peace ☮️

[@Its-hollyhoodworld]

You can’t miss what you never had. He’d probably been not be in a good space for real if he had his dad that would run in and out of his life. He’s going to be just fine.

[@MzSweetzTalk]

Prayers for this 14 year old young man ❤️🙌 Please don't allow this trauma to affect your future. Mom do better...Work at Walmart if you need to.

[@robinbaby1]

I hope his mom gets herself together because she's holding him back and being homeless may eventually lead to him doing illegal activity that would put him in jail. That would be a waste because he seems very intelligent.

[@modap3000]

There is a great chance that boy gets abused. There is no need to continuously disrespect him in the interview. This disrespect would not exist if it was a girl being interviewed.

[@NikkiRichNYC]

When Was He Disrespected?... He Was Talked To As If He Was A Child Which He Is... There's A Difference

[@realhustle5939]

He gave that boy what he need. FIRM MALE GUIDANCE. You don’t handle young men like you handle young women that’s what this generation is MISSING. STRONG MASCULINE FATHERS

[@amb2810]

💯 makes me Sick to my stomach to see how Marcus is handling this young boy who’s dealing with neglect and abuse!

[@kmiles2914]

I’m just surprised he didn’t go off on a tangent about whether or not he’s been s3xually assaulted & more importantly where exactly on his body, “up top or down below” as he stated the question during the mother’s interview. 🤦

[@mimi3918]

,"It takes life to humble you....if I told you some thing's about yourself right now, it'd probably go in one ear and out the other.". Uhh...the young man is HOMELESS, with a mother selling her body. He's already experiencing something traumatic, and you're adding salt to injuries, by talking about an absent father. He already has to worry about day to day survival, and NOW, possibly being seen by his peers..thanks to your video. Stop trying to unload more mental instability and troubles on him. One thing at a time. I get your "trying " to inform, but something is off about all this. You're busy exposing, instead of advocating on where and how the community can assist. I watched some of your videos in the past and said "Nah, i'm' good". I saw the title, .and as a mother of a 14 yr old son, this hurts my heart, but I also feel like you dropped the ball on this one.. This is HIS story to tell later in comfort. He already said he didn't want people to know, and you do what you want to anyways. His feelings are invalid though, cause he's "young" and don't know anything though, right? You interviewed the mother, that's good enough. Take this down and pass the neccessary information for help to her. That's how you'll really know if she really out here for their cause or her own.

[@gwenphillips1998]

He’s so handsome so intelligent do not let anyone young man tell you any different period you’re my estranged‘grandson’ I care about ALL children 💯

[@eversway7540]

This kid is about surviving the best way he knows how. That's not to mention what his mother is putting him through mentally. I"d hate to see him go over the edge, due to what he's seen already. Hopefully someone will see this and throw full support behind him before anything that could happen happens.

No she’s not. Her best would be to shield him From her horrible activities. If that means letting him Go so someone suitable can raise him then that’s what it is. She will reap the consequences of what she’s sowing. God is absolutely not ok with how she’s ruining this young boy!

I understand him basically saying his dad is not a factor. I thought like that also but it only got harder on my heart. I realize my dad broke my heart. He was the first to break my heart.

[@zanyaespeaks]

You have to listen to children first...if he said he got hit, then he did, don't correct their experiences initially!! And MOM DEFINITELY can't, bc she can't, bc she OBVIOUSLY has been a stable person...4 kids, 4 different men!! He loves her, super sweet...he's a man child and needs a good role model/Life Coach/Therapist!! Wish you the best little big man, TRUST slow down a bit, work hard (legally, even if too young, its okay, bc back in the day, ppl worked at age 10), but NO STREET STUFF, just bc u need $...Allow mama to help in her way!!
