I always felt that, Halle should've lost Isaiah. I never said due to backlash, I was sure I would receive.

[@MKnight1121]

Lol.

[@franniefitts7484]

At the very most - THE VERY MOST - she should have been given just visitation. Remorseful or not, she left him to die so she could get a fix. I understand she turned her life around and that's good for her, but it takes a lot to raise children, even when you're not fighting against an addiction. The best thing for Isaiah was not going back to live with his bio-mom just because she's Black. They should have done visitation and as the years passed, maybe it could have changed to joint custody where she could have him on the weekends and holidays.

[@blufaerie]

Yup to visitation. She has to rebuild trust with Isaiah and they could have still had a good relationship.

lol right decision for lil boy by FAR. Great film, always watch when on or most of it, great great ending.

[@AndreAsunte]

If Halle had been thinking about Isaiah, she would have approached Jessica first (yes,I will be using their real names 😂😂) and asked to come around as a family friend and get to know him, and them, first before they all decided when and how to tell him who she really is. She really does owe Jessica for keeping her son alive in the first place.

[@feliciakenny5152]

I watched this movie right after I gave birth to my daughter 26 years ago and I cried when they gave him back to her

[@cj25674]

As a child, while watching this film, I always felt bad that Isaiah was forced to leave his home and family Kaiya. I agree that visitation, at the very least, would had been more than enough, but for that baby to be ripped from his family really wrecked me.

[@alicebeynon8841]

It's just heartbreaking to me that this poor child lost people he loved and who loved him... really the only family in his memory... and he gets pulled away and sent home with a woman he doesn't know! Never to see the people he knows as his parents. It's so sad.

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

She never should’ve gotten him back. Took growing up (and this popping up) to think about that…💔💔💔

[@prettygirl_danie]

There are so many factors to think about in this movie at least to me: 1. Crackhead mother consciously chose to hide her baby in a garbage can with the damn lid on and claims she was going to come back for him🤔(obviously she’s not of sound mind but ummm, miss the garbage don’t stay there for long, the truck comes to pick it up). 2. The social worker, abandoning her family's needs and pouring her soul into Isaiah gives off weird vibes, Like you said, she’s the type to bring her work home with her and literally did. But not being involved or interested with your own family to raise Isaiah is troubling. She didn’t even know that her husband was cheating on her. Who’s that detached from their own home life? It’s giving pet project, like she was unconsciously unsatisfied with her life and Isaiah was a pleasant distraction to pour herself into. Not saying her feelings or attachments to him were not genuine. 3. The whole, Isaiah needs to be with a black mother, despite said mother not knowing a damn thing about the little boy says a lot. His needs and interests were not considered. His mother could relapse at any time and then what? Give him back to the the foster mother could have been a choice but not the top one. They(iykyk) were so concerned with keeping Isaiah away from Marguerite that he likely would have been placed into black foster home than her. Yes him discovering his self identity is important as a black boy but the system didn’t care, he would likely be another statistic. 4. Again His biological mother was a recovering addict, some old habits die hard, she herself had so many obstacles such as being illiterate and penniless but that still wasn’t enough for Isaiah to stay with a stable family he was accustomed to. Crackhead Halle Berry probably couldn’t even remember who his daddy is, Isaiah’s bests interests weren’t represented, which makes you think about his future had his two moms not come together at the end. Single mother barely making ends meet probably won’t have a lot of time to help with homework or after school activities, vs.financially stable two-parent household who will have time for him and support him much more than Halle’s character. But what does the system choose? Go back to your black, stranger of a crackhead mother, you living with so many advantages is not cool because the family is white and you can’t relate to that. SMDH. P.s. great review as always girl, just got carried away. 🤭🤪😂

[@prettygirl_danie]

*unsatisfied with where she was in her life. Her teenage daughter could be getting into all kinds of shit out of spite as a result of neglect from her mother.

[@apollo105]

I agree with most of these points but those are the types of social workers we need because thats the type of work it is. If you dont value the children as you would your own its easy for them to get taken advantage of. The goal of social work is to keep families together. Yes she was a recovering crackhead but trust and believe the system will provide resources and check ins to make sure your keeping off the drugs

[@Mookie2345]

Agreed except #2 we don’t have enough backstory on what was going on prior to really judge that situation being a product of foster care there are many different factors when it comes to caregivers ijs

why is your brain/mind "stupid" while being a fully Grown-up in your early 20s? Should be mature enough when we all grown to know the White woman, great actress she is character of Margaret, was more suited to raise, and was raising a beautiful little Black Crack-addicted child, for three long years, deserve to keep the child that was HERS, not crack addicated, drug addict, messed up no good for years, Khaila.)

I cry now when I watch this movie and Isaiah has to go to Khaila. They traumatized that baby, he's already struggling because he was born addicted to crack cocaine. Then the courts take him from the only home he knows to make him live in the ghetto with a stranger setting him up to have separation anxiety and PTSD..

[@joshuamcdowell9745]

Halle should have let that child be. Taking that child from the family he ever known and given back to the bio mother who neglected him to get high was dumb. Isaiah was still very young. They should have gradually transition him. Khaila was his mother but he didn't know her. Khaila almost killed him. She should have gotten visitations.

[@angelnyambio5704]

Isaiah should've stayed with the social worker, but he could still have some connection with his mother once she stays completely clean.

[@wahaywgr]

I agree with you. They could’ve eased Halle’s character in with visitation, so that Isaiah could get to know her and trust her. This movie always reminds me of when I was 6 years old. It was me, my mom, some guy and his girlfriend riding in the car, the guy was taking me to school. I don’t know what happened but the cops pulled the guy over and ended up arresting my mom and the guy who was driving, they also towed the car. I was stranded with the guy’s girlfriend who I didn’t even know. I was with her all day and I didn’t know what was going on. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I remember trying to keep it together, but by the end of the day I couldn’t do nothing but cry. I was so scared.

[@BreceLarry]

I agree 100% on Halle. At this point, let's call the cops Lol she is not a fit parent 🤣

[@cruzanshaker]

They love having halle losing kids in these films. I so agree with you tyra. Great review on an oldie

[@StruggleReviewzTV]

Thank you! 🥰

[@apollo105]

I honestly wouldnt call it a systemic issue because in social work when youre surrounded by people who are actually doing the work this is the best form of action. The goal of social work isnt to keep kids away from their biological families but more so assure that they are going to be okay and have the necessary resources. Trust and believe there are a lot of despicable human beings who give up their children and dont even think about getting them back but for those that want their children and are taking the necessary steps to get them back 9 times out of 10 they'll regain custody

[@SJ-ni6iy]

There was a little boy at my church who was in and out of the system because of his mother. He would get taken away and stay with a social worker, who was related to him, until his mother would get clean. He had a lot of psychological problems and the 4th time state took him, no foster family could handle him. Last I heard he was in a psychiatric hospital, he was 7.

I need to rewatch this now, because the last time I seen it, was on Peachtree TV as a child. Even then, I felt uncomfortable when he had to go with his bio mom. My mom at the time was on the side of Halle's character, but the scene with him crying in a temper n the shadows n sounds of hus new environment scaring him, I knew he belonged with his family. You wake up so many oldies but goodies, sis🖤

[@sarahsantora8592]

I lived a similar story 30 years ago, my son by adoption is now35 years old. Even tho I had an open adoption and his biological mom was in his life till she passed 10 yrs ago there’s really no way for a white mother to prepare her black son to live as a black man in this country. I could not teach what I did not know. I did the best I could and loved him 100% but he missed A LOT by growing up outside of the culture. Having a black parent or parents gives adopted kids better skills to face their future IMHO.

[@candicane8678]

I definitely had the ugly😭😭cry at the end of this movie...omggggg...I was exhausted

[@jazzshi]

[@CrazyMunky84]

Isaiah should have stayed with the adoptive family with Khaila being allowed to be involved in Isaiah's life. Khaila is a drug addict who needs to focus on her sobriety instead of caring for a child with special needs. The responsibility of Khaila having to take responsibility for Isaiah as a parent would compromise her sobriety. That being said it's best she at least has him in her life. It gives her something to look forward and Isaiah a picture of where he comes from. The adoptive family can provide a stable home environment which can accommodate all parties involved. I also didn't buy the argument Khaila's lawyer put forward that Isaiah would grow up in an environment where he never sees someone like himself. The adoptive family lives in Chicago, a city that is 30 percent black. It's not like they live in rural Idaho or something.

As a person that grew up in the system, I’m gonna tell you right now they should have left Isaiah with the family. I do not care his mother threw him in the trashcan. She does not deserve any type of access to him. I do not care I know what it feels like to be abandoned, and that little boy was abandoned. She was trash .

Thanks for subbing❤

[@odettice9219]

I actually think the ending was perfect. I can see why ppl are on each side. There’s something in the film that wasn’t really addressed. There’s actually two problems here. The one of race but the real one of the biological mother and the adoptive one. And who should keep the child. For kyla: 1. I know ppl see kyla as someone who left her baby in a trash can (which she did) but also kyla was a mother for about three days. She was homeless, she was on drugs, and it seems she’s even being abused (she wakes up with a black eye), she’s also relatively young. Young adults make mistakes that can end in the baby’s life. (Sleeping with the baby on the couch, forgetting their in cars, overheating therm, not supporting their neck) You don’t just know how to be a mother. Especially in three days. 2. Kyla is homeless. The alley is their home. Yes it’s a trash can. Yeah it’s still bad. But i don’t believe it holds the same meaning as someone going out from their house and throwing their baby away. The trash is also a place for food and supplies. It doesn’t hold the same connotations 3.Kyla thought Isaiah was dead. She was a mother for three days and then thought her baby was killed. The guilt itself was the reason why she became clean. Because she didn’t want the drugs to ease that sorrow for her. She didn’t mean to kill the child or even throw him away. She just needed a moment just like any mother. She was frustrated and was a single mother. I’m not saying it’s right but there’s a reason for postpartum depression and mothers shaking their baby’s. It’s one of the hardest jobs in the world and she was doing it alone. Homeless. On drugs. And it a dangerous environment. I don’t believe kyla she lose her parental right forever for this

[@odettice9219]

For Margaret: 1.shes a safe stable home obviously. He’s happy. He has two parents. And has good resources 2. She sees hundreds of cases of child abuse and neglect. After a while you can make assumptions. Become bitter and the ppl your helping become numbers and statistics. You might even get a holier than thou complex because your baby isnt crack addicted. In the beginning of the film she sort of speaks down to a mother for putting a child on the top bunk (the child fell and broke an arm I think) which of course a mistake but mothers are not perfect and do not know. You’re not monster of a mother because your child got hurt. 3. She’s colorblind. But the world isn’t black and white. The court made good points. Isaiah is growing up in a world void of himself. He’s black. It’s a part of identify and erasing that can be damaging to a child. She’s doing damage as well because she’s not perfect. The scenes between Hannah and Margaret show she’s not a perfect mother either Isaiah should know who is biological mother is. But he’s not old enough to understand that. He shouldn’t be ripped from the only mother he knows. Kyla made an effort to be a good mother and bettered herself. She took advantage of resources given which was the point of the resources. Ppl lose their kids. I thought the resources were there to help the parent become suitable to raise the child. Which kyla did. Not every parent does. But each case is individual and unique. In this case. Kyla is clean. She has sponsers. She’s older and genuinely wants to be his mother. Taking away isaiahs real biological mother is bad as well. The pain of knowing your bio mom could have raised you, but wasn’t given the chance cannot be measured. I don’t think Margaret should never see Isaiah again, but am understanding that isaiahs biological mother is in the picture should be established. Kyla has a right to her son as well. Margaret doesn’t get the power to take someone’s child away because “she wouldn’t know what to do”. She doesn’t get to decide she’s his mother now. Isaiah doesn’t have a voice right now because he’s 5. He doesn’t understand what’s going on. Yeah he thinks Margaret is his mom because he doesn’t understand. He should be given a choice which would be knowing both kyla and Margaret in a transition.

I love this when I was young I thought he should’ve went to Halle berry but looking at the point you put it he should’ve stayed with the white family for his emotional physical and mental health. Like Iove this movie I grew up watching this when I was like only 4 or 5 myself and watched it again when I got older and also social class in college where that was the discussion do we agree with Halle berry getting her baby back and I was like team yeah cause she black but not looking at the other side of this baby being taken away from his only home and people he knew 😢 I remember watching him cry when I was younger in the car and it made me exhausted as a child but I agree with you on this ❤

I don't appreciate Isaiah wanting to do all of these hood roles now as a grown man. Like Isaiah if you don't get lost and go back to these family safe roles.🥴 You know you Stuart Little's home boy.🤦🥴

[@nenep1872]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 maybe he's tryna prove something to people 🤦🏾‍♀️ I mean I understand cause I use to watch him had a crush on him too, I thought he was good... But unfortunately maybe people don't think he's real enough 🤷🏾‍♀️ unfortunately this happens way too often

[@MississippiKaijuMusic]

@@nenep1872 And it's sad that at this age in the game he still feels the need to do hood roles to portray himself as hard. He self conscious and he has short man syndrome. Even in the show Dexter he was a drug dealer. Like dude you could've been on ABC family or Disney playing somebody's father by now. What are you doing?🤦

[@knucklehoagies]

​@@MississippiKaijuMusic unfortunately its a big issue with the younger generation black folk. Being ghetto and hood is more glorified than being classy and intelligent. It's a toxic part of the culture that needs to be reversed.

[@MississippiKaijuMusic]

@@knucklehoagies I agree. He sabotaged his own career to look tough.

Its amazing how coincidence works. I been thinking about this lately and said Kahlia was wrong. Only because she wanted to DRAG that baby away from a good home since misery DEMANDS COMPANY. The only reason why that lawyer helped her is because HE wanted to be the only negro to make it out the hood. If Isiah grew up in that white upper middle class family then he would have gone further and even worse dated white women and not get falsely accused of rape. Because the white community KNOWS HIM AND HELPED HIM GROW UP. Ain't no way that black lawyer looked at that crappy ass apartment Kahlia had and thought it was more suitable. Losing Isiah was about keeping black kids in the ghetto in they PLACE. Yes at the end Kahlia decided to let the white mother have partial custody. But what happens after the movie? Did they have a fallout and she changed her mind? And was the agreement on paper in court? Did Kahlia go BACK ON DRUGS 5 YEARS LATER? Did Isiah get shot and killed visiting his black mother in the ghetto? So many cliff hangers we will never know.

Why do they put the rights of birth parents before the rights of adoptive parents

[@TG5455]

Let's not forget about Halle Berry in the '90s in the live-action version of The Flintstones, she was looking goooooooooood...Yeah, I'm dude and I couldn't help myself. Anyway today is your birthday and I just want to wish you a Happy Birthday again but here while I'm watching this review. 😊🎁

I loved this movie very much. It surprises me that they never did a viewing of Kayla meeting Isaiah seeing the interaction between them and seeing how Isaiah feels about her. It was just the court saying "A black child should be with his black mother" and that's that and never mind this poor child screaming and crying and the silence and indifference he gives Kayla when he is with her. Kayla may be happy to win and get him back but it's Isiah's worst day of his life. I believe Kayla should've given Isaiah back and waited till he was old enough to want to meet her and form a relationship with her.

Halle Berry Type cast

[@missugh1890]

I want my mama

[@LexxiiTHEDIVAA]

Can u do the movie "Motives" next?

[@TG5455]

5:24 👵: Yes, Jenny do the right thing for that poor black child and be the white savior that you can be. The GIF of The Blind Side makes me think about the stains that the movie has gotten lately and I can understand why.

[@kamilleking4708]

Can you please review this new series called Kindred, I would love to hear your insight.

[@AfroAngola]

I am a new subscriber, and I really enjoyed the review. I would like to put an asterick on Halle Berry and kids in the movies. She kept her kids 24/7 when she became a widow in the film THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE. A movie you should all check out and review 👍🏽

[@JamesBailey-jp1zc]

If Halle Berry was chocolate she would be you! 🍫🥴❤❤
