I'm convinced the foster care system is a front for child sex trafficking. If we spent all the money that goes to foster families on orphanages filled with social workers/medical professionals/psychologists/teachers (I know that's not a perfect fix), we could at least ensure that children grow up in some stability and structure.

I’m a 40 year old man who never wanted kids when I was younger, got close to marriage a couple of times but never closed the deal. Now I kind of want kids and sometimes regret not getting married.

I was fortunate to have a good family and thinking about kids growing up without that is heartbreaking.

@@tuxedobowie887 Since I'm a single woman who works full time (somebody has to pay the bills and save for my retirement), it's unlikely that I will. I made the choice at age 10 to never have children because I discovered that there were already too many children in the world who didn't have parents. That made me very sad. It still makes me sad. I was told that my feelings would change and someday I would want my own child; four decades later, I still haven't changed my mind and feel the same way. The far more difficult issue is finding someone who shares my outlook, and that is why I'm still single all these many years later. Most people want their own children, while I can love any child. It's not requisite that child shares my DNA. Apparently, I'm a very odd duck when it comes to those values.

The journey to recovery is not an easy one and can be a long and challenging process but Briana is only 26 and has so much potential.

Which doesn’t have anything to do with anything. I shrug it off bc ppl are just pathetic and hateful and for some black ppl esp LOVE to hate on me. I was recently told to STFU bc I answered a question on here about a lady that had dirt and grimy shit on her head. Everyone was asking what it was so I answered. Simple enough right? nope. 🙄 Apparently white women should always just stfu.

No, this is what happens when women's bodies are policed. There is no shame in having an abortion, especially if it prevents an innocent being coming into the world to experience trauma and sexual abuse.

I wish I could help this girl,shes so lost,this video has broke my Heart,she deserves so much better .

[@clarice999]

I appreciate how honest she is.

[@kirbfx]

My heart breaks for her. She is holding in trauma. It's so evident by her body language and how she carries herself. She has a shallow breathing pattern so much so that doesn't even inhale her cigarettes. I'm sure on the surface she has a logical explanation as to why she doesn't inhale her cigarettes but it's likely related to her holding in trauma and not letting go. Her shoulders are not in a resting position as if she's stuck in a state of fight, flight, or freeze. She should really look into both ibogaine treatment and trauma releasing. It would help clear out so many of the past trauma's so she can be free. Just her taking up simple meditation and deep breathing exercises would help her immensely.

[@ArrKayLondon]

Trauma release takes time to release. I think it comes up when people are ready/able/willing to face it. People like her who have complex trauma usually don't end up being able to face it and will blot it out with drugs. Usually the most extreme drugs.

[@LaSouthernGemini]

@Casperian I totally agree. She has potential. Actually Briana, if you are reading these comments you must give yourself the chance to attend rehab. With the right professionals you can go a long, long way to having the life you want. I see it in you. Actually many commentators who have posted see it in you.

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

The short breaths could be due to the fact that she takes heroin which is a respiratory depressant and her shoulders slumped and her posture is very typical of a heroin user

[@kirbfx]

@@u.sonomabeach6528 If she was that high off of heroin, she would be in a very relaxed position which is why she likely uses in the first place, to get some temporary relief.

B Nice strawman argument that has absolutely nothing to do with her not inhaling her cigarettes, her having a defensive posture, and her obvious verbal and physical admissions and cues of past, unresolved traumas.

I've watched alot of these vids from Australia. Of all the people you've interviewed, there's something about this chick...I believe she is an incredible person, with a beautiful soul, barricaded behind the wall of necessary survival.

She is very smart and well spoken. Our leaders would he wise to listen to her speak, she just laid out the perspective of people like her especially when it comes to emotions, never learning about love, not having direction, our broken foster care system. We need to invest in our children because way too many are slipping through the cracks. We cannot reverse damage but we can do something to prevent the damage, but that starts with our children.

She's a beautiful girl. I understand the addiction. I'm addicted to any kind of pain medication and heroin/fentanyl. I had a car accident 15 yrs ago which started it. I do work full time. It hasn't affected my work and shouldn't as long as I don't get randomly drug tested. I have a room mate which helps with half the bills. This girl is beautiful and I hope and pray she finds a way to stop the prostitution. I also hope she can find housing and employment. Maybe there's someone who could help? Plz be safe and take care.

She’s had such a horrible life and she’s so beautiful. It’s so sad. I hope she gets into rehab and really tries to change her life.

[@Tami-po3gr]

My heart goes out to her. As someone who also spent my first 12 years in foster care, before being adopted in 2000-I can relate to her in so many ways, it’s eerie. I understand her struggles and definitely don’t ask myself “why” she is the in this situation, I ask why not. We need to do better for the children of the state: It’s a fundamentally flawed and broken system. By the powers that be I found sobriety nearly 5 years ago (July 29, 2015) and moved to San Diego to start over. 20 years since my foster care days, I now mentor and volunteer with at risk foster children, teens, & young adults and sadly-not much has changed. They need EVERYONE to advocate and care enough. 😭 I can only hope she has found her sobriety & way too. Heartbreaking reality-so unfair. I wish I could help her, personally. 🥺🥀

[@belindacrump8567]

She looks almost identical to my best girlfriend when I was homeless, so much so that I thought it may have been her at first. I am so grateful to have been sober for 4 years, but I still think of Kalya often and check the obituaries from time to time. So many amazingly beautiful people lose themselves in a broken world before they see their worth.

[@Harlan_1]

I know you have a list of standard questions you go through but when she said she found her mother when she was 15 you could’ve had her elaborate on that. Makes the interview more of a conversation and shows you’re interested in what she has to say. Just a suggestion.

[@BeeutifulAngela]

This particular story hit close to home. I was adopted as a infant by a family who already had 2 biological kids. The mother and father abused me and the father’s brother molested me. At 4 years old the father broke my leg and took me to the hospital that’s when the doctor saw how beat up I was and called DHR. I got put into foster care at the age of 5 (so did their 2 biological kids) and went through 4 different families before I got adopted again at 12. I was always a good kid I wanted to show the family that abused me that I was someone. Now at 27 I’m still fighting those same demons that I hid as a child. I drink everyday not because I like the taste but to cope. Life is hard and it only gets harder. I don’t have kids but I can feel this young lady pain. Unfortunately for me it’s just me and it’s a lonely feeling but I have to pep talk and cheer for myself to keep going. Prayers to all struggling to just make it.
