There are many of us in the US who want to be parents but we cant be because our society would rather let kids enter thevsystem, stay in the system and or end up on the street than allow a single gay man who would make a great dad adopt. Ive thought about surrogacy but cant afford it however I would do whatever it takes to be a good dad. Unlike all those deadbeat parents who throw away their children like garbage. I am sad for this kid. Id adopt the kid but it would be impossible and in the end who knows where he ended up.

I was homeless in London for a couple of years, and I came to understand the various types of people that end up sleeping rough & living a bizarre kind of lifestyle -- which, strangely, I almost look back on with nostalgia & fondness. There are those dependent on substances, and those who stay clean of everything. Those who have people they could turn to but can't bring themselves to do it (out of shame), and those that haven't got a soul in the world to ask for help. Those who are lucid in their minds, and those with mental problem / learning deficiencies. Those that would give you their last crumb having just met you, and those that would take everything from you having known you a while. And sadly, there are those who want help to extract themselves from a dire situation, and those that really don't -- because they're happy in the lifestyle. This kid seems like the type that is dependent on substances, and isn't yet ready to leave the streets, even if help to do so was offered to him. Sad, as he clearly has a lot of qualities, and could easily carve out a productive life for himself. Living on the street has a lot of traps; a sense of freedom and a lightness of load once you get into the swing of how to survive. The sense of shame & ego also breaks down pretty quickly. If you know, you know. I hope this kid gets to where he needs to be, mentally, to accept help and do the work that needs to be done to successfully reintegrate into society. It's difficult, but not impossible.

[@naomigore1642]

So true - people who have never experienced it don’t realise that the streets and lifestyle is as addictive as the drugs themselves. You don’t know how to behave in normal society anymore, you don’t fit in. There are so many layers to running the streets and it’s different for each person. It’s so complex based on what has them out there in the first place.

Thank you for giving people a glimpse of what it is. It's brutal and very unkind. I was only homeless for 1 month before I turned my life around when I was 19; I'm lucky to have my old world as a fall back, most of these kids don't. This kid truly are one of the saddest cases, cause they're so trapped, I often think about the ones who didn't made it out on my drug abusing days; some died, some went to prison, a couple lucky of us went on to have a better life. Idk how to truly help them when they're in that position, his eyes and face is still so bleak, I couldn't see the fight in him either yet. I hope someone can help him and let him know he's better than his trauma, and the pain on the streets are additional pain we put on ourselves when we're victims of violence. You articulated all the faces of addiction on your comment, and I appreciate this alot. Tha k you.

[@shannonmckay173]

You said alot right there. The only thing I'll disagree with is that if offered help you not thinking he would accept it. I don't know that that is necessarily true. When I was out there I wanted out so bad. I prayed and played that God would send someone to help me and eventually when the opportunity came I took it. It was all God because honestly I felt so helpless and trapped. I hope the same happens for him. I hope God sends someone to his life that cares enough to offer help and I hope it comes at the right time like it did for me. My life is totally different now I look back on those times and like you said even though part of it was a nightmare, parts of it do hold some nostalgia. Living out of a backpack and wandering with no responsibilities. Only focusing on survival. I wouldn't trade my life now for anything and I am beyond grateful to God for his grace in my life but there was a certain feeling of freedom in living that way.

Seeing and feeling yourself age out of your physical prime is already an uncomfortable and disheartening feeling when you're in your 30s.

[@ronnywhite5602]

The reason the boy was fidgeting was because he was in withdrawals. Withdrawls are are HELL on earth. I heard a woman say she had rather have a baby natural birth rather than go through withdraws. The reason the interviewer was asking rapid fire questions (the boy was not getting any information), was to access him as well as possiblle to determine any motivation on the boys part for help. Or, he could have possiblely been wanting to interface him with a service since he's so young. I'm a retired counselor and I would have done the same. The boy needed to be carried for a bath and clean clothes, to say the lesat. The interviewer, or possibly a volinteer could then help more to find him a fixed, secure place to stay but, i also believe drug intervention will also have to be addressed. VERY SAD PEOPLE. As a professional counselor for the state, I learned that you cannot help people refuse to be helped, whatever the reason. Kids like this boy, however, needs to be able to be under court jurisdiction as a child in need of supervision. He would have no court record but he would have restraints in place to help his cooperate with helping agencies...at least for a time.

This boy breaks my heart. As someone who lived on the streets in deep addiction for 3 years and clawed my way out, I doubt he ever will. One of the (or biggest) reason I was able to turn my life around is because I didn’t grow up in this lifestyle. I didn’t have the best childhood but I had parents, a stable home and was never around drugs. If you’ve never known anything but this F’d up lifestyle….it’s impossible to look into the future and see yourself any different. Treatment centers can get you clean and help you transition literally every step of the way but once you’re on your own…that’s got to be scary. Children who grow up in chaos, living with drug addicted parents, generations of nothing but this - this is normal. Imagine being an infant who went home to this. A child develops the most critical skills in life before the age of 5. Going home to a drug home as a newborn is tragic at best. An addict doesn’t want to take care of an infant, that’s just a massive inconvenience. Anyone who is a parent knows how demanding babies are and even we got stressed out some days. This boy was one of those babies who started his life the same day he was given his future. Please don’t say how negative my comment is and I should wish the best for him….I am a mother to 3 children and I have 2 boys close to his age. I am one of the most compassionate humans around….I am also from the lifestyle and have seen it all. I was a heroin and cocaine addict, I used both at the same time but it’s NOTHING close to “blues”. If we thought drugs have been bad for a long time…in the last 3~4 years it’s become an absolute F’ing nightmare. I own a business now, live in a nice neighborhood of 70 homes (so pretty small) and don’t have drug addicted friends…except my friend Elizabeth who was an OB nurse. Zibby helped deliver my daughter almost 16 years ago. She was a kick ass single Mom with 2 beautiful children and from the day I met her I was envious because he was doing what I wanted to do in life but I screwed that up with past addiction and a felony. Zibby died last year, she was found in a bathroom at a fast food place. My friends across the street a stay at home Mom and a county sheriff…who my kids grew up with and we all hung out together and had Birthday parties at out little neighborhood park Dad….we check on him periodically to make sure he is still around but he’s addicted to Blues…oh and blues here are $25-30 each.

Are you referring to his being "raped " as assault ? ? For those of us who have a normal drug free life, it is assault and rape. But he got "crack" out of it. Meaning "this for that". If you ever talk to some of these guys (and gals) , it's usually a sex trade for the guys. Money or drugs if you want me. Sad, but when we have our own children, it is hard to fathom. The drug is more important than family, that's why they steal from their own families.

[@tumblrhoe4180]

what are you talking about, did you listen to how he described what happened to him? Rape or sexual assault is characterized as non consensual sexual acts towards someone else. This boy never said he'd wanted it, he never said he'd trade the man for crank. He says "and he said 'hey want some jeek'" the man never said "I'll give you these drugs for sex." He had no clue that that's what he was getting into, and even talks about struggling, trying to get the man off him. He mentions the man struggling to pull his pants off. And idk what you're talking about family wise. Clearly he has no support system and it's been that way for a long time. Spend your whole life with your family in and out of prison and see how easy it'll be to steal from the parents who can't even provide for themselves alone. In some cases, yes people prostitute for drugs or steal from their family, but that's not at all the case here. You're putting a broad generalization over an entire group of people and it's unempathetic.

This breaks my heart 😢.. I have a 20 year son and can’t imagine him having to go through this. I wish I could snatch this kid up and take care of him. So young and he has a whole life ahead of him 😢

[@valleygirlgg]

He is so young! So sad to see a kid so young out on the streets! I hope someone with a heart sees this and goes and helps him or gets him the help he needs. He has his whole life ahead of him!

In a normal country, there is a safety net and the state would take care of him. A child would not be living in the street, what kind of 19th-century barbarism is this. Only in the USA something like this is posible

Dude has been dealt a horrible hand.... just a min or so into the video and damn... keep your head up homie...

[@lisagilmore-wi9gu]

Do you help them or just question them??? If you are going to interview and ask such horrific questions and horrific experiences they have endured! You should find a way to help them!!! That’s the very least you can do!

[@tacoslover4765]

I hope the interviewer gives them decent money

I have 3 boys (young men) 19, 17 and 15. They need to watch this to see how dang lucky they are. They don't have everything they want but everything they need and a safe home. This poor kid had nobody to show him how to live. This breaks my heart. He is an addict, I hope the excuses stop and he gets help.

[@jackiewilliams7876]

He just needs lots of guidance bless his heart. 💔💔🙏🙏

[@battlestar6364]

Agreed! I was just thinking I want to show this to my son who thinks it would be cool to be homeless. No, it's not cool. It's sad.

[@crystalberkshire5025]

I Agree with you Hun on showing this video to our boys. Our kids sometimes take things for granted and don't realize how good they have it. As a mom it breaks my heart deeply to see this young man living this way.

[@donp5482]

If your an addict or ex addict u understand his mind is altered and can make the right decisions . Even if he makes excuses it don’t matter he truly doesn’t understand what he’s saying . He’s focused on getting more that’s it . But yes he does need help or he will die soon . Ik this could’ve been me I’ve overdosed 3 times

[@BlondeVolDoll]

@@donp5482 I am in recovery, Sir. I have been clean for four years. So I understand completely that he is young enough to start making the right decisions if he stops with the excuses and gets help. He has to want it for himself though.

[@pk___365]

This honestly just breaks my heart so much, I wish him nothing but good luck in life and he deserves so much more than this.

[@jennyvigar752]

He reminds me so much of my son. My boy was 19 when he started using drugs and 23 when he passed away from drugs. Please grab on and get better you are only 18 and it will be alot harder the longer you use drugs 💔

[@veronicarodriguez-yo7mg]

God bless and protect this young boy❤️

[@lloydleonard6900]

I work for a treatment center and when we have guys like him come in, I really try and pour as much as I can into them. I was once that kid. Meth and heroin consumed my life for almost 15 years. There are so many kids just like him suffering from the disease of addiction. That’s just the reality of the situation.

[@AlexanderC01]

Thank you Lloyd for understanding them and not judging them but instead trying to help them. Congrats to your 15 years of sobriety, may you continue to go on strong!

[@insmileyfacemur4242]

​@@AlexanderC01 you should help them if you care so much

[@kiaharper7172]

​@jack the ripper What exactly should she do??? You can feel bad about someone and their situations without having to do something. I feel shifty about childhood leukemia but I don't donate to that cause or walk for AIDS. Everyone's issue is not Everyone's issue my guy.
