  1. Right? That's what I was sitting here thinking about. The remembering of her got so big, it completely overshadowed him in a way. Did they say he died? I didn't catch it and was wondering what came of him.

  2.  @Schneewittchen1310  glad I'm not standing entirely alone on this lol

  3. Can someone please explain exactly why the Turks invaded after the UN left? I'm not familiar with the history here, but would like to hear from people why this may have happened, especially people who live here, or know this place fairly well. I know I could research this, but I'm just not guaranteed to come across unbiased information, so I feel this is the best way to truly understand the histories of different lands. Any replies are greatly appreciated ♥️

  4. Oh wow this whole relationship was a damn mess, right from the beginning. Feel like there's probably a ton of skeletons in everyone's closet.

  5. There are approximately 1.3 to 1.4 million child caregivers in the US, so it's a lot more than people think. In the US this usually happens behind closed doors though. It isn't made as public. Also there are 40.4 million unpaid caregivers of adults that are 65 and older in the US. Nine out of 10 in that group are caring for an aging relative, and the majority of those are actually caring for a parent, so even this is more common than most people think.

  6. 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 🤔

  7. Had no idea cannabis was an appetite suppressant 😲. Definitely learn something new everyday. Think that young man's case just goes to show, that not everyone will have the same outcome when using this, and that it does have the potential to set some back, even cause an addiction that affects a person negatively. I have nothing against cannabis btw, it's got some amazing, helpful properties, and I like to look at it as a medical tool, a medicine, but like with any medicine, there will be some who just can't take it even though it works wonders for so many.

  8. It's very strange what the brain will do when placed under the right amount of trauma.

  9. I wonder if this documentary would've been better received if the creators would have shown the different types of situations these people say they were trying to escape, instead of just relying on storytelling. Sometimes visuals have more of an impact. The lollipop scene was absolutely precious though.

  10. So I'm guessing they have to go to the mainland if they need things like clothes and such?

  11. Please tell me this isn't as much of a problem now, please tell me these kids have received real help in recent years?

  12. Interesting. There's another comment on here, I'm assuming from someone who is also familiar with this place, that claims the exact opposite of what you do. Why do you think you both have such different interpretations of the same place? I've never been there, so I'm genuinely curious and interested in hearing from people who have intimate knowledge of Lagos, since documentaries can only show you so much, and ones like this are still presented from an outsider's perspective. Also noticed they don't have as many likes on their comment as you do either. I find that interesting as well.

  13.  @blessingdada7144  thank you so much for taking the time to explain further the situation here. I love hearing about different places from people who have lived there or are very familiar with it. They always offer the best insight. It's unfortunate that this place has had such a slow start compared to surrounding areas, and there can be such a drastic difference between income brackets, but I'm very glad to hear that there are opportunities for betterment and the people still have hope, because hope is always very important. Without that will tends to die. It may be taking longer for to catch up with surrounding countries, I do hope one day it will. Even though the people of Lagos may sometimes be forced to do whatever it takes to survive, most seem to have good hearts deep down, so they deserve better for themselves and their loved ones.

  14.  @katherinedorton4562  damn, wish it was like that here. Here they just throw them in jail for a bit, then they get released shortly after because it's a nonviolent offence.

  15. 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.

  18. @dr103 do you know where information on them can be found. I watched another vid that said they were in the witness protection program. Really just want to know how both turned out.

  19. Culture and religion are not mutually exclusive, they can exist in unison, and often do, don't get it twisted.

  20. Why are they not wearing masks and gloves 😳?! You'd think they'd be mandatory. Haven't watched too far, but even if you can't contract this through touch, the people who have it have weakened immune systems so you would think they'd be trying to keep them safe from catching anything else.

  21.  @pyewackett5  it's really not recommended for schizophrenia or any other illness that can induce psychosis because it has been known to worsen many of the symptoms that come with these, but just because it may not be the best form of treatment for some, doesn't mean it's dangerous or useless for all. There's not a single treatment available today that will work for everyone, and this is no different. The things it CAN help with in the realm of mental and physical illnesses cannot be denied though, and therefore it's vital to make this legal and available as a medical tool. It just has too many medicinal benefits not to, and can truly provide a better quality of life for so many.

  22.  @free-zu6ds  I just wish people could just coexist and accept each other's differences and bond over their similarities, but I guess "splitting" is sometimes the best option available.

  23. Some of them really don't have a choice or the financial means to provide professional caregivers, and just didn't know this was going to be their future. Now the woman who had the stroke, I can agree she's being extremely selfish. Plenty of people have completely lost their dominant arm, but go on to live full lives, dependent upon no one. She put the effort forward to learn to walk again, she needs to do the same with the arm she has left. It's not the stroke holding her back, it's her mental state. She's letting her depression ruin her child's life, forcing her to give up her childhood for completely unnecessary reasons. That to me is absolutely selfish.

  24. There's a few, but the animal comments definitely outnumber them, it's really quite sad. It's almost as if people are getting to the point where they've just lost all sympathy for other human beings, and that in itself is a disturbing thing to consider.

  25. The law makers, whoever has control over that, are truly sorry people for this. Makes me sick they're not willing to right the wrongs they've not only done towards the victims who didn't receive real justice, but the other victims they created by convicting the wrong individuals. I don't understand how they can live with themselves when they look at people like this man, and see what they've done to them.

  26. Someone said in another comment if you mute the right speaker it helps. I'm using a phone though so I don't really have that option to know if it works or not 🤷🏼‍♀️, maybe it does though.

  27. Someone said in the comments that Rebecca is a lot smaller. They didn't leave a link though, or say anything about any of the others.

  28.  @ayyappanchithambaram4575  you can have big cities and still have massive amounts of poverty and human rights violations. Maybe that's what they're talking about. Personally I've never been to India so I can't speak about it on a personal level. All I have to go off of is the documentaries, news, and stories I've seen or been told. From those, it would seem there's still a lot of room for improvement, but that can apply to the whole world really. Just because a place is growing in it's international position though, doesn't necessarily mean everyone who lives within that place is benefiting from that. I'm always open to hearing directly from inhabitants of India though, because to me that's the best way to truly understand different places in the world and their people.

  29. I was thinking a lot of benzos and pain killers together, would fit with all the mental issues and physical pain he's describing. Methadone is a good guess too though 🤷🏼‍♀️

  30. Be aware of your children parents, be aware of their behaviours and mental health. Don't just think they will grow out of it because that isn't always the case. Sometimes they just grow into it. These are future adults we are raising and one day they will be the world's problem. Never be against getting professional opinions and seeking answers. If it all ends up being a phase then great, but there's no harm in being thorough. They could learn some really healthy coping skills along the way of this search for answers, and parents themselves can learn useful parenting skills as well. You can't just continue to ignore things and expect them to go away all the time.

  31.  @cmiamt2007  that's where it stopped for me too. Really wanted to hear what he was expressing too ☹️

  32. Do you know the name of the documentary and if it's available on YouTube? I'd absolutely love to see it ♥️

  33. Supposedly this guy gained everything back later on. So maybe this isn't the best route to take for everyone 🤷🏼‍♀️. I think it's probably really important to try different methods and truly find what works for you as an individual, as long as you stay determined I'm sure it's possible for everyone to find something that works for them.

  34. I know this documentary is trying to appeal to emotions, which it does a very good job of, but I feel it's lacking in the scientific evidence department. I see the affects, but I would like a more detailed explanation as to why this happening, instead of people repeating climate change and green house emissions. Show me experts that can explain exactly how green house emissions react with our environment in a scientific way, what's causing them, and propose workable solutions. I think it would also better the documentary if there were counter explanations along with scientific evidence, causes, and possibly workable soultions to these as well. I just feel it would make for a more balanced, more informative documentary. Just a suggestion.

  35. I cannot believe how calm that dog is with all this going on lol, seems very loyal though to go out in all that mess with them. Definitely sees them as his pack.

  36. This whole family dropped the ball too imo. They all knew what was going on and none of them tried to go for custody. Honor killings happen a lot more in Europe because there's a larger population of Muslim extremist.

  37. OMG! The third party was one of the children! If one was there and witnessed this, you know the other was there and did as well. Makes you wonder what else these children have seen. What else have they heard? Felt? I feel horrible for what happened to Sophie, but my heart also goes out to those kids. I truly hope they have been able to move on from this, heal, and have some sense of normalcy now. I just hope they haven't been too badly scarred, that they continue to suffer. These two have caused enough suffering.

  38. So they didn't form a legitimate search party until 6 days later? Am I understanding that correctly?! Wtf?! The sound going out wouldn't have been that bad if they would've continued displaying subtitles everytime someone talked, but that stopped too after the sound. They only continued to display subtitles for people being interviewed, and occasionally in other scenes.

  39. So you're pretty much suggesting an increase in mixed race couples, therefore creating mass amounts of mixed race offspring until it gets to a point where we all look so similar, no one can tell with the naked eye we're not all one race? I could see that helping somewhat, but we would still end up dividing ourselves up in some way or another. We have to get past this natural instinct for tribalism to truly see an impact on the way our society operates and the way it's members view one another. That's just my opinion ofc. I would very much enjoy to be able to see a day when we all stand together though as one

  41. Is that enough though? You always hear people say that even with government aid it's still financially hard to be a carer for someone. You're mother is very lucky to have you though.

  42. I wonder if prostitution was made legal throughout the states and regulations were set up everywhere such as mandatory drug testing, outlawing a middle man, and any other support workers may need if it would help this problem. You'd think it would cut out the "need" for a pimp because anyone could just start by making a website etc. I know it won't stop the cases where people are literally taken off the street, but it might help the cases where women are tricked into doing this by someone telling them they can show them the ropes/get them johns. Idk, just brainstorming really.

  43. What makes this so sad is these parents agreed to allow people film. Obviously they don't think they've done anything wrong, and their behaviours shouldn't be changed. It's like they did it just to get a hand out, but it doesn't matter how much money you put into those homes, if the parents continue their ways, so will the children. They honestly think money is their soul problem and it isn't.

  44. Even though they're both disturbing, I find knife crime a lot more disturbing than gun crime. You're removed with a gun, where stabbing is quite intimate. The mentality behind the crime is different, more viscous in a sense. Makes my skin crawl knowing young kids are resorting to this. Governments are not putting money where it truly needs to be, like bettering the lives of our young. Making such they have opportunities and programs that can provide skills, entertainment, education, and protection.

  48.  @free-zu6ds  this is so sad ☹️. Thank you so much for the information though. Why was there so much animosity towards the Turks in the first place? Was it just another case in the history of the world of people thinking they are superior to another group, and therefore that group should be eradicated and or separated? Obviously not a mindset I personally agree with, but it's nevertheless a mindset that still prevails to this day all across the world unfortunately.
