I stayed at an airb&b, not sure if my fiance found it through that platform or not, but that's essentially what it was. They only accepted cards, and before you could even pay, you had to agree to the terms of services stating if there was any damage when you leave, they had the right to charge your card. I wish we would've taken pics of the place when we got there, because we ended up getting a bill for existing damage, so it's not just owner's who get screwed in these situations, sometimes it's the actual "renters". Surely the actual airb&b has an agreement like this set up to protect there owners though right? I don't see how it wasn't possible to track down those people who destroyed those owners' homes, if they had a card on file for the purchase. It's more like they just didn't want to. Still recommend people taking pics of the places they rent though, just in case an owner tries to pull one on you like what happened with us, because it can definitely be a two way street.

Love how he just calmly filmed his car burning, making sure he got all the right angles 😂.
This man really is amazing though. Everybody he follows, he does the exact training they do, and passes, before joining them and filming them in action.
I could never bring myself to live in a place that's guaranteed to catch fire like this. I've personally been in an extremely bad house fire and it truly scarred me mentally even though my family, animals, and myself did make it out safely. The sounds you hear, the smell of burning wood mixed with plastic and other materials, the smoke that blinds you, the heat, fire terrifies me now. I refuse to light candles inside. If I'm at a bonfire I stay a safe distance from it. I try very hard not to burn anything while cooking because if the room starts to get smokey it freaks me out and takes me back there. I'll always be grateful to the neighbor that saved us, and the firemen that saved our animals and put our home out before it was completely gone.

I think prisons should focus on reform, rehabilitation, and aid, and prison time shouldn't be set, it should depend on the prisoner's progress or lack of progress, because let's face it, not everyone can be rehabilitated. Some people are just too far gone, but some can be with enough hard work. It still will boil down to the individual themselves really wanting to change ofc, but sometimes people need help reaching this point. I also feel there needs to be more programs available that actively try to guide young people away from taking these paths to begin with. Programs that are more one on one. That offer more opportunities for these kids to become a successful member of society. A lot of these young people are missing a strong healthy support system. They've never had it, and don't know what it looks like. They need to be shown. This is just my opinion ofc, but I'm very open to hearing others and engaging in a civil discussion about the matter.

"I'm not hitting you this time", that implies you would at another time though, or have before.
I feel so sorry for these girls. Many people don't understand that walking away isn't always an option, not only because of the raising, but because they could be in even more danger if they do so, and are not properly protected. Sometimes that protection isn't even enough at times. Many in these situations are between a rock and a hard place, born with targets on their back, and most live the rest of their lives in fear if they do get away too. So, making statements and helping with charges is so much easier said than done sometimes. I feel sorry the males born into families like these as well, because their choice in life and freedom of thought have been taken too, I've just never heard of the males being put in as much physical danger as the females. Not saying it doesn't happen though, because it could just be they're not getting as much publicity when it does.

@orvil9223 but these laws are needed here, they're just not being enforced like they should be in certain religious communities. This happens behind the curtains a good bit over in Europe. They actually have one or two documentaries on this channel about it, underaged girls being sent off to marry strangers in other countries, or being given to immigrants moving or already living in Europe. I know in Islam, if this happens in Europe, they are married in the eyes of the mosque first, given a religious paper for it, and advised to go to the actual courts for the proper legal documents when the girl finally turns of age legally. Some girls go along with it because they're raised to accept it, but others are forced. Then you have women who are of age, but are still forced to marry, and when they try to escape this, they become victims of honor killings. This has happened to children as well. It's sad really. America has also had it's issues with forced child marriage as well though. There's been thousands of cases of this being allowed legally with parental consent, and in these cases there weren't even inquiries to see if this was something the child actually wanted.

I'm not saying Connor doesn't have tourettes. He may very well have a diagnosis of it, but I have this suspicion that because Connor does have this diagnosis now, he's using it as a shield for all bad behavior as well as the behavior he may really not be able to control. I hope I'm wrong, because this would mean he's actually quite manipulative if this is true, but you have to admit he does stand out from the others, and people in general that I've seen with tourettes. Everyone I've seen, you can tell it's an uncontrollable impulse, about like watching someone's knee jerk on it's own. It's definitely not that obvious in Connor. Many things appear deliberate and even opportunistic, especially when you catch him trying to control a smirk after he's done something. Please let me be wrong though. This is one of the few times I truly ask to be wrong about lol, because it hurts my heart to think that Connor could be being nasty to his family and others just for the sake of it at times, simply because he thinks it's humorous. Just think of the nightmare it would be to parent a child that is actually taking advantage of their disorder too. You wouldn't know what behavior to correct and what behavior to sympathize with because it's an uncontrollable one. So yes, please let me be wrong about this, just for the family's sake. I guess there's a possibility more could be going on than just tourettes too 🤔

I haven't watch very much of this documentary so far, so my views could change as I continue, but all the hate in this comment section is very disheartening to hear. So many people making definitive statements such as, they're all bad, they're all thieves, they're all this and that. Statements that cannot be proven to be true unless you know every single individual romany. Just listen to the people they interview as well, such hateful things they say.
These people haven't been granted citizenship, that's why you see so many on the street, camps, and refugee camps. They don't have the same amount of access to aid, housing, or work opportunities as the others who are actually citizens. Yes they could possibly get jobs under the table, and I'm sure some do, but jobs that could actually provide for them are not within reach with no citizenship. Even with citizenship getting a normal job would probably still be extremely difficult. Just listen to how everyone speaks of them. Way to much prejudice has built up, and now the odds of them bettering themselves are stacked against them. They have to provide for themselves and their family though. That's why you're getting the illegal activity. It's the only option that's readily available to them to make any kind of income.
Ofc all of these things are just feeding a viscous cycle. The romanies are struggling to survive, so they do illegal things to alleviate some of the burden. The rest of the citizens become victims of these crimes and or hear of them, tarnishing the image of the romanies in their eyes, more and more. This in turn breeds strong prejudices against the romanies, that further place limitations on the opportunities the romanies have to survive. So, the cycle continues to repeat itself, and ofc, groups like the skin heads will take advantage of this situation, but during all of this there will also be prejudices formed within some of the romany people, against white people. They will view them all as their oppressors, and crimes like theft will also become a way of "getting even".
It doesn't have to be this way though. Give them all equal rights and treatment, and see what a difference it makes. Stop equating what a person is, or can be, with the color of their skin.
See? These first two families are proof right there, that you can't paint a whole people with the same brush. This is how you lose so many innocent lives, and it's what genocides are founded on.
I just don't understand how people can hear these stories, especially the elderly woman's, and not feel any sympathy. To still say, "well they still deserve what they're getting." It's just sad. They didn't even think them human enough to memorialize what they put them through. Nothing to remember it, nothing to signify an apology, or peace. It was just left to fade away and pass out of memory when that generation finally passes out of existence. I wouldn't be surprised if this plays a big part in the prejudice in this film, and possibly some that continues today. People were still being raised to think of the romanies as subhuman.
I just implore people to try and understand, rather than condemn. Hopefully things have improved greatly in recent years, but reading some of these comments, I fear this situation may still have a a long road of improvement ahead. Just remember, when one speaks so hatefully about an entire race, that includes innocent children like the ones shown here. Don't punish them just because they were simply born. They have no control over this.

I'm so sick of governments giving up on our children, especially the ones that need more aid than others. If we want to decrease crime rates, drop outs, and poverty more, than we're going to happen to start tackling the problem before it even occurs. We can only do that by going "through" the children, and making sure they all have the accommodations they need individually. They're all unique, and require different methods of aid and care to succeed, and governments need to be prepared to give them this. If they could just stick to it long enough, I'm almost positive they would end up saving money in time because it would improve the rates I previously mentioned. Yes it require a good bit of money and time now, but are our youth not worth it? Don't get me wrong though, we can't just rely on the government and programs like this in school to do all the work. Parents will ofc have to play their part as well, and be willing to really educate themselves on positive parenting methods that are implemented from a young age, making sure they're providing a positive environment for their children, and being willing to learn and change if they haven't necessarily been providing these things.

I thought suicide was only forgiven by God if the person commiting it was mad? These people don't seem very mad to me 🤔, so how can a pastor condone this and still be within his own religious beliefs?
He's not really that great of a counselor either. He's offering them no other options and acts as if they absolutely have to die.
He has said that this is his purpose. He equates everything he is with this action. If they don't go through with the suicide, then it diminishes his self worth. Like that doctor said, it's too dangerous to be so committed to a specific outcome in this line of business.
This is why religion can be so dangerous. It programs people to believe there's a second chance, even though it provides no proof this is so, and it leads people to believe that the afterlife is more important and more grand. It devalues the life you already have and are guaranteed, and promotes a goal of death when you really think about it. Personally I think this is a sad way to live. Dictating your whole life around what you think will ensure a great afterlife, literally living to die. That's not truly living at all in my eyes.
Medical science already has a pretty good grasp and explanations for why people see the things they do during near death experiences. Has nothing to do with an afterlife. Just an amazing organ called the brain, and as proven here, some of these "visions" are complete bullshit lol.
Maybe this guy started off with good intentions, but he's now just looking for self gratification. That's very evident with the way he responds to that one lady. The man has developed tunnel vision, and these people are no longer clients, they're victims. There's a reason these people are not telling him other people are going to show up. It's a cry for help, it's an attempt at stopping something they may feel powerless to. He's not even taking this into account, or he is, and just doesn't care because like he said, he won't give up until they're actually dead. The psychologist pretty much said the same thing after I typed this.
This guy gets more disturbing as this goes on. He's getting colder and colder towards these people as this goes on, and now he's unleashed Susan into the world. That woman is completely off her rocker too, but in an entirely different way, an entirely different kind of monster.
Get a real job Susan, it'll pay for that water too. I can't stand these liars. Please tell me they've been stopped.

I wish they would have been a lot more clear on what part of the spectrum each of these children were on tbh. If someone with no understanding of autism watched this, it could make the diagnosis of autism in a child appear quite daunting as a parent when it's simply not in so many cases. Yes there are things you may have to change in your parenting and how interact with your child, but all of them can be so very different, developing at their own unique paces, and a lot of the times even surpassing their peers as far as intelligence goes. My son had high functioning autism, and while he did have a rough delayed start, there's no reason why he won't grow up to be whatever he sets his mind to. Idk, this documentary just doesn't seem to show that there's hope. That this can actually be a gift in some cases, and in those cases, autism has the power to create very unique, amazingly talented and intelligent individuals. Just think it would've been beneficial to show all aspects and various sides to this disorder.

You may not be able to blame people for not being properly trained, but you can most certainly blame the people in the position to ensure they were trained right?🤷🏼♀️
Well they did know you enough to stop and talk to you, and ask a personal question pertaining to someone you all knew. He was automatically trying to distance himself from them to not look suspicious, but still maintain a secure place within this to manipulate the outcome.
Why would they delete a record of someone suspected of child abuse, or any abuse for that matter? It should be mandatory to hold onto to that if there's ample amount of accounts, and the school not doing their due diligence to check their workers out? That's shameful. They're supposed to be our children's protectors away from home.
Hard to pass judgement on the girlfriend. I've personally been abused like her, but I don't think I could've covered for my x if he was a pedophile and child murderer. My life wouldn't have taken precedence over that. Child endangerment was the very reason I got out of that relationship and pressed charges. My son was starting to suffer at the hands of his anger as well, and I couldn't allow that to happen. I didn't care what happened to me. I had to keep him safe.
The whole criminal record system shouldn't be done away with, only revised to show just violent offenses such as pedophilia, rape, voluntary murder.
Well this and many other cases prove that people DON'T do their job properly, so are we just supposed to let children and other civilians pay the price for their laziness?

Personally I don't think I would have a child if I had a disability that would prevent me from caring from them entirely on my own, unless I had one with an able bodied partner. I don't really think it's right for a child to have the responsibility of being a parent to another child, let alone multiple children. If a parent is eligible or has the capability of having outside, adult caregivers come into the home, I feel they should utilize that so they're children can actually be children.
I'm a bit worried for the kids with the blind parents. They don't seem to be being looked after properly. Definitely not saying they should've been removed, but I think it should've been mandatory for them to have outside help. There's way too much put on the eldest ones. Their living space isn't clean, neither are the children, nor is it big enough for a family that size. Seems like the children are in desperate need of more emotional support as well. They're not processing their emotions properly, and they're not receiving adequate mental health aid to combat this. The way the oldest one responds to certain situations is quite disturbing. She showed more emotional response and compassion towards the little neighbor girl committing suicide, than she did towards her own sister's attempt. That's quite shocking imo. The parents just don't seem very emotionally or physically involved with any of them, and that's most likely affecting the way these girls are interpreting the situations their being put in and their responses towards them. It's like they're just having them to guarantee they have at least one or two that will take care of them later on, instead of having them out of genuine love. They're born for specific jobs and nothing more it seems. I find this story the most disturbing and worrisome.
I wish the single boy would've been given outside help too. He seems so depressed, so lonely, and stretched thin. His eyes seem so sad and almost empty.

Gap it really depends on how it's done. If they're not keeping a count on the animals, and over hunt them, then no it's not conservation, but if they are keeping a meticulous count on how many there are, how many are being added back into the population due to births, and are putting a cap on how many are allowed to be hunted in a given period that doesn't interfere with a sustainable population growth, then technically it's conservation because it's applying regulations to the hunting of these animals that allows for population growth but prevents overpopulation that could negatively affect their environment and all other animals that live within it, and it makes it difficult for poachers to obtain profit because there's not as much of a demand for them. It's like in the US where some states have specific hunting seasons for specific animals. It keeps the population down so that the ecosystem in that area isn't damaged by overpopulation, but it prevents overhunting as well. It's supposed to provide balance. I'm not sure if that's how it works here though, because I haven't finished the video and I'm not entirely familiar with the area they're hunting in. I'm basically just saying there is a way to hunt animals, no matter if it's for sport or food, and it not have a negative affect on their population and environment, and in some cases it can actually conserve their species because it can have positive affects on the specie's environment if this is all done right. If it's done right, it then just becomes a matter of individual values, ethics, and sense of morality if they choose to engage/support this or not. Again I'll say though, I have no idea if this way of hunting is actually being applied here though. It is Africa, and people have a bad habit of overhunting and exploiting animals over there.

I wonder why they're cutting back on legal aid, doesn't everyone have the right to legal aid there?
Aw how sweet, they have matching pants 😂. Sounds like this guy needs some anger management classes. Maybe just separate, they seem pretty toxic together. A court may be able to force him to get some kind of help, but if there's no true desire within, forced help rarely works, or it works for a time but old ways start to creep back in. No desire, no continuous follow through.
Um, get some help too Stephen, seriously. 🥺
Someone obviously identified those boys, so they had to have known of them to know their names or where they lived. Kind of makes you wonder, who did those boys upset enough to give them the impression they'd be capable of violently mugging a little old woman? Does someone have a grudge against them and if so, why? Why was everyone ready to jump in them rather than defend them? They have their killer, but these questions still go unanswered even though they also deserve to be.
The benefit case is kind of sad. From the documentaries I've seen, benefits there are very hard to get by on, and it can be almost impossible to without doing something under the table because if you report that income that's making things a bit easier, they take away from what you're given, and you're put in the same or worse position than before.

From the documentaries I've watched, keep in mind their quite dated as well, there's a lot of political corruption there. A lot of the common people want nothing more than a government that actually fixes their home, but just aren't in the position to change things because this political corruption runs so high up and so deep. It's been so bad, for so long, that illegally crossing the border is the only option in their mind, not only because it's "quicker", but because it's somewhat a little easier due to the fact that so many get denied with very little reason. I'm all for stopping criminals from entering, and ending human trafficking, but I just don't know how deporting a law abiding father, who's contributed to this country for 30 years, is helping that. Often it seems like it's families like his, good people, that are being punished more so than the actual criminals. I do admit all the information I've gathered to form this opinion, comes mostly from documentaries, that could possibly be skewed to represent their own personal biases and views on topics like this. I do know that when we do detain people that are caught, they are treated very inhumanely, and there are many reports of children being ripped from their parents, to later be sa'd by others because they're not being properly cared for. It's just a big mess all around on both sides, and there has to be a better way for both sides to find a balance between what they want.

The arrogance of that mother of the 5 year old boy with the wheelchair is astonishing. Her arrogance, and unwillingness to accept her errors in her parenting is going to kill her son. That's why she wants all this to be genetic, gives her something to blame it all on besides herself. Every parent makes mistakes, you're not perfect lady. We all have to admit our mistakes at some point. The sooner she accepts that, the better off her son will be, and she can be a better parent. The same could be said for the man who's smoking around his boy. Heaven forbid he give up his guilty pleasure for the sake of his child. He could at least leave the damn room. What an awful selfish man.
Don't you just love the parents who try to reason their actions, the same actions that have got their child into these positions, and present like their scope of knowledge is on the level of or above that of the doctors trying to right their wrongs? 🙄. These documentaries are so frustrating. Just want to shake them and yell, "wake up!".
The parent of the child with an alcohol problem has to realize they are an enabler, and an enabler is one of the worst enemies of an addict or alcoholic. The money has to be cut off, and treatment is available for children, and you are not failing your child by seeking that treatment out. You might just be saving them.

Ok is it just me, or does some of this seem scripted?
😲 She did not just flush that cat litter did she?! Bad cat lady, bad! 😂
Really wish people like this would realize that this isn't healthy to do with any animals, owning so many and having them cooped up in very close quarters. You're not helping them, you're raising their chances of contracting feline aids and other illnesses. Like I said, this goes for all animals, they all get sick this way. Sad.
She said she's a rescue, but it looks more like hoarding. Hopefully she's rehoming them, because that's generally what a real cat or dog rescue does. Something tells me that's not what's going on here though 😕.
I wish we had an actual animal cruelty agent where I live. Animal cruelty laws just are not enforced here and it's absolutely ridiculous. Animals truly suffer where I live, amd no one cares 😔.
Oh yes because they want to be taken home and live the rest of their lives in cages or roaming around you're home with injured feet suffocating from the ammonia put off from their urine 🙄. I don't see you trying to find them homes though 🤷🏼♀️.
Some of these people are literally killing themselves and their animals. I know they have a problem, even if some cannot see it, and I do sympathize with that, but they need to seek help because it's just not beneficial what they're doing. The sad part is they could actually be rescuers, but they have to set up an actual plan to do this. A plan financially, like working on donations, limiting the amount they take in and not going over what they can actually handle, and REHOME. if you genuinely care about these animals actually put them first and do what's best for them. They're not meant to be the bearers of your mental burdens.

Everyone is jumping on Melvin in this comment section, but when they were on about the bike she asked if he still had plans to get a job if it was fixed, and he responded with the sentiment that he wanted to but she keeps telling him he can't. Wondering if this is true, because she didn't give any indication of it being true or not. Idk, if this is the case, but if it is, she really shouldn't be keeping him from working when they're in a bind like that. They both need to calm down though, and try to be aware of how their behavior is affecting their children. The single mom is doing quite well with this, not letting the stress she's feeling affect her children. She should be commended. No matter how much the government screws her over, she's still providing a comfortable supportive environment for her children.
Bless that man that's sick. It's so unfair he's having to go through this, and they just want to stick him in a home. I feel so sorry for him 😞

Not going to lie, I'm a little suspect of Connor too. I whole heartedly believe people have this disorder, and I'm not saying he specifically doesn't, but he does seem quite different from the other kids on here, and other people I've seen in documentaries who have it. Idk, his actions just seem a lot more deliberate, thought out, and somewhat opportunistic 🤷🏼♀️. I guess there's always a possibility he does have it, and somewhat milks it for attention, or uses it as an escape goat. I'm just guessing ofc, I could be completely wrong.

There's about 13.7 million kids in the US that are considered obese, and that number increases every year. 43% of US children age 2 and up have had multiple cavities, 13% of those actually went untreated. Secondhand smoke is responsible for between 150,000 and 300,000 lower respiratory tract infections in infants and children under 18 months of age each year. It also causes 430 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) deaths in the U.S. annually. The fluid build up in the ear that is caused by cigarette smoke has resulted in 790,000 doctor's office visits per year, as well as more than 202,000 asthma flare-ups among children each year in the US, and 23 million children have actually been exposed to second hand smoke here. This isn't just a Britain issue, it's an issue that's prevalent in about every western society, and the only way any of us will ever get ahold of it is to recognize/accept they exist even if we haven't noticed, educate ourselves when it comes to them, and how we can prevent becoming part of the problems children suffer. They do not ask to be born. It's a decision parents make on their behalf, and it is up to those parents to keep that child safe, happy, and thankful that that decision was made for them. It may be a hard pill to swallow, but some parents need to make sure their child is not only protected from dangers outside the home, but dangers within as well. Dangers that they may actually be the cause of.
