I promise I was thinking the exact same thing!!

Her face lit up

[@letsmakeitmakesense714]

After watching her face light up during that letter, I’m realizing that her hurt/trauma is bc her father left. Lowkey she might be acting out to get the father to come back. She probably feels if she get in really bad trouble that it would be enough for him to return back to America. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes most definitely. I wish he picked up on that and pressed it more. She would've crumbled completely!!

[@butterflyblue5985]

I think he would've got a better reception if he talked to the kids backstage in a secluded environment with a counselor available. Unpacking past trauma is never easy, especially from teenagers who barely know how to process their emotions in healthy ways. When the girl kept saying "I don't know" she probably really don't know why she keeps making terrible decisions, she's operating from a place of trauma. She needs professional help to unpack and process her trauma responses.

I feel like Karamo is taking the right approaches here, but it’s tough to open up when you’re scared, let alone in front of a studio audience. As a kid it’s common to be worried you’ll get in trouble. But in a controlled environment (e.g., private counselling session), you can make a lot more breakthroughs

First and foremost I know this beautiful woman personally and applaud her for reaching out trying to get help with her babies it's not easy to ask for help, teenagers are hard to raise period but even more so now that covid has them so messed up emotionally. I'm a single mother myself raising a 15 year old so I can totally relate. We have a horrible mental health system in the United States with an ugly stigma when it comes to discussing mental health issues.. it does take a village to raise a child but when the village is lacking resources in certain areas it can be very frustrating. Mama you keep your head up beautiful I know it's hard but your babies will appreciate your strength and when they're old enough and the frontal lobe has fully developed LOL they will understand ❤

This episode really touched me. There are a lot of layers to this young lady pain. The question was ask if she was initiated into a gang. She replied yes. I really feel that she wanted to express herself but not to violate the code she shut down. Also the question was never ask if she had been sexually violated in any way. I get the vibe that something traumatic has happened to her. And the brother wants to protect his sister by following along to a certain point. Yes she needs counseling to get to the root cause of her pain. And maybe then the two siblings will open up to there parents.

It is easy for us to lose track of our blessings in certain things. These kids though, I honestly was surprised by them being as open as they were. He says he has these goals, but he is treading a fine line. I truly hope he gets with someone to guide him and help him from getting to where his sister is. He may already be there and just not being as open as she is. I hope that the therapist she is paired with can reach her. I truly do. Mom is trying, that is plain to see.

You can't change the past and honestly you saying she could have did the right thing is a pure example of what happens when you send your kids out to the world to get judged.

@@timiaraychelle3904 bro, he wants her to open up to him when there’s a crowd of people watching her. He’s asking questions he knows the audience is going to react to. Yea the questions he’s asking are important it just shouldn’t have been in front of a crowd. She’s most definitely not going to “break her walls”. He wasn’t going too work a miracle especially without someone who actually knows how to handle the way she acts.

The problem is these kids is becoming desensitize early , they think they supposed to be doing the bs they doing they couldn’t even answer half the damn questions K had for them

[@tlmurry85]

Our country has ruined many families. The young lady doesn't know who she was created to be. She's scared, but trying to be someone she's not. She needs to wake up before it's too late. It's either jail or something worse. If they allow discipline back in the home not abuse it will get better.

[@Rumii.i]

For the sake of the girl due to the fact that she got that arrangement to be able to join the nba via Karamo I hope she manages to fully pull away from whatever people she’s affiliated with because jealousy is strong and very often ppl kill ppl in the midst of their successes due to the “crab in the bucket” mentality. I’d love to see her end up in the WNBA and become great and glow up from this lifestyle.❤

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

I believe they're acting out because their Father isnt there. He can write all of the letters he wants, they can go unread. Very unfair to the Mother that is there. Personally, they'd be outta my house simply because not knowing what they're doing outside they could possibly bring problems to our home...DAMN THAT!! Mom needs to demand her respect though. I think to keep peace in the household she's gifting them a lot. I see how expensive they look for tv. She has to make them earn their looks and get jobs.

[@dianalogan6185]

My exact thought because her father is not there she acting out nd her brother look 👀 up to her so he’s doing the same ting . He’s much softer which she’s playing tuff it hurt my heart watching this . Nd that letter that the father write 🙄 is not enough ‼️

Sometimes it is the home environment, but sometimes there's the outsider environment. My momma had 2 kids, single, worked in aerospace, provided every single need and more. We spent quality time together, we were well behaved kids. My brother went to 2 private schools, paid for by my momma. At 12years old, under the influence of a friend's older brother, my brother started getting into trouble. Juvenile Hall, CYA, then eventually prison. In and out of prison..to this day... He is 52. My momma tried counseling, and he was doing well until he left the facility. He played sports and was a great quarterback. But his choices caused him to be where he is now.. and now on top of that, he is on drugs for over 5 years. My momma passed away of cancer, and I assume he felt guilty for what he pit her through. She practiced tough love. He couldn't live with us as a gang member, with that street life. Wasn't going to happen. Oh and my momma was a teenager, 16 having my brother and worked, lived on her own and provided us stability. He made choices and messed up his opportunities because of fast money because his allowance wasn't enough.

[@nickymudzingwa5655]

[@LC8984]

what happened between her being 2-3 years old and the pandemic? Mom says they were close when she was 2-3, then the pandemic hit and the child had new friends, etc. The child is 16, so that leaves roughly 13 years unaccounted for. What happened? I'm only 4 minutes in, so perhaps it will come out later on in the episode, but I would be interested in knowing what happened in those years.

Please help this girl Karamo, she's too beautiful to get herself into this kind of trouble. Wel done to these kids mum for seeking help for them. So hard to raise children nowadays.

[@ceedee1675]

The problems start at home, the boundaries and disrespect occurs when the children are little and they grow up to parrot what the parents do. You can tell from the mother's behavior and vernacular.. look how she carries herself on television! Imagine what a mess she is behind doors. Hardworking doesn't mean she can't be a bad parent. The little girl said she was scared when her mom opened the door to physically hit her, she put her legs up to defend herself. Why was that glossed over? How often is this girl beaten as "discipline"?

[@roneshawafer1873]

I don’t beat my kids and she was disrespecting me is the reason I got the small baby little stick and If she was not showing out and disrespecting me in front of her friends that sleep over so imagine a room full off kids been up all night making a lot of noise I have work in the morning so I kindly told her to keep the noise down because I have work she got a sassy attitude like OKAY so I was raise when my mom said to be quiet then be quiet not be sassy so it’s fine no one feels my pain I just needed to get my feelings out and if I beat my kids it will of been said thanks for the feed back still ❤

[@YolandaMarant]

Respectfully Pending the community you come from and this can be perceived as beating! I was definitely Spanked, and I was definitely given what we call a in the black community a whipping. I have never been to jail! I have never been on drugs! I have never been any serious trouble! So in my opinion discipline starts when children are very very young!

I am not related to any crimal act, but i went through some of the same thing, living in a low income home/neighborhood, being raised by a single parent with my other parent in another county doing his best, and having moved houses. Change is a really big step especially when you grew with people they considered family and i can tell they are lashing out because they don't think they fit in or are constantly think about going back, they don't consider their current area as a home yet. That can change by going out an exploring the area, but if they finding "friends" who give them that, they won't care about doing risky activities with the condition of feeling at home, that they belong

[@ForeverYoung20092]

These kids clearly grow up in poverty, in a dangerous neighborhood. They have been around and seen a lot of things. The Mother may also be able to blame in this situation. You cannot expect your kids to behave right when you haven't been a good guidance. She may be trying to makeup now but the damage is already done.
