God Bless the poor children ❤the school is great and so are the teachers . Angels on earth all of them

[@carriebizz]

These children are gorgeous, they may not be rich with money but they are rich in caring about others. I hope their lives get better

[@mosimosi630]

These kids should not be exposed to the troubles of grown they literal should be telling them this is a hotel until the grown ups sort themselves out they are traumatizing these babies

[@profoundintrovert]

Then there’s the king and his useless heir. Disgusting.

[@dianet2702]

And all the crowd of dumb sheeple clapping hands and being happy for those which don't give a f* on them.

[@fallynharding6868]

I wish them all the best❤️✌🏽

[@ohmeowzer1]

Me too ❤❤❤

[@ohmeowzer1]

This is a few years old .hope the kids are doing ok ❤❤

[@tracieschrock9519]

even though they are poor there is absolutely no reason for the the home to be in such a mess..

[@taylorpresley4604]

I see this on Maui alot. Theres a family of 3 living in a car. Our govt is a failure

[@ohmeowzer1]

Any updates on the kids and their families?

[@TheSesilye]

In the states the homeless kids are living in tents & hotels. Its alot worse for a so called 1st world

[@rainy.d7404]

That 13 yr old girl is lucky her parents could afford to get her braces.

[@ohmeowzer1]

I think she got them through the NHS

Kassium (spelling) seems to need glasses. Watching him writing, his face is very close to the paper when writing

[@BJM217]

Why isn’t the other parent paying child support to help their children. How can they allow their kids to live like this.

KI and family, though, have a home. It may be small, as is mine, but it's adequate. It needs a good cleaning. Why arent the family coming together to make the home neat and tidy? That has nothing to do with poverty. You don't need expensive ingredients to clean. Vinegar and baking soda work wonders. 8 p a day for each family member is still over 400 dollars a month.. If they go to a foodbank, they can save money. Shopping at thrift stores also saves money. Lots of rich ppl also shop thrift stores. They are not just for the poor. They seem to have adequate space in their backyard. They should plant a garden. You can grow lots of your own food even in Containers. Look for places that give seeds away or grow from veggies you already have. Ppl need to stop comparing themselves to others. Find out what makes others successful in the same system we all live in. What do successful ppl do that make them successful?

The kids should not be talked to about this stuff. I get that they are forced to live it but why do they know half the stuff they talk about? Because there parents are talking adult matters with them. Saying money is tight is one thing but puting this fear on them is trama

[@Gator777]

I grew up poor but didn’t know I was poor until I was grown. They have to be talking about the bills in front of the children. I was taught to work for it, if I wanted something. I just wonder if you asked the children what they like in life?

[@bathtub4943]

Disgraceful. No money for poor families, yet billions for corrupt governments, and YES, I mean Ukraine. What a waste of UK talent, we are flushing our future down the drain, and for what? I am incandescent with rage.

[@worlddocumentarychannel]

Only have the number of kids that you can afford to, period!

[@Gator777]

What happens when a parent loses a job, gets sick? Who can foresee the future?

[@sallyclay1974]

Dont have kids unless u can support them. They r expensive. Being poor and government dependent, isn't the way to raise them. Poverty has profound effect on children. Education, decent housing , a bk acct, a job, decent schools , and a stable relationship, r the tools, for a child's development.

[@aussieoma361]

It’s called covid amongst other circumstances. Most people don’t choose this way of life have some sympathy.

[@michellecaseygalloway780]

Kids are a gift,our future,should be every country's priority

[@carriebizz]

Rude much

[@toby43078]

You're right!!! Poor people make me sick!!!
