Hats off to msf probation department. You all are doing a meaningful job, the potential to play a part in someone’s change for the better.
To the 20yo seeking approval, i cried while watching your story, single parent are nv easy, but yes I’m happy that your family and you have started to know one another better, and yes im proud to see your changes! Good luck with everything you do and cheers, u have changed! 😊
And I am glad that she has become more mature, more empathic, forgiving herself and others. She realised that everything comes from within as she can’t control, her father. Good for you. I hope that you are well, in your own ways....chase after your dreams and not chasing your desires and the dragon. Stay strong
Me too, her dad should be very encouraging not bringing her down, so what she doesn't graduate from poly or uni as long as she work and change her life for better that is already good enough, my two uncles never even pass Pri 6 but one of them own a very successful halal seafood cafe restaurant and took over my grandfather coffee shop at blk 102 chong pang market and the other own a halal seafood coffee shop call Rasa at upper changi rd and they are very humble, respect others and never look down on others they even hired ex-convict to work for them.
Certificate is just a piece of paper even people with highly education most of them their behavior sucks they can be disrespectful, they can be uncourteous, look down on you while those with low education they are more humble, respect, courtesy and doesn't look down on you.
I know because I experienced these type of people.
@@shirosvlog733 Good on your uncles for hiring ex-convicts, it's hard for them to find jobs. Hope your uncles' businesses prosper :3
To the girl seeking approval, I know you have found a way to stop recieving validation from others but just wanna say I’m so proud of you. You did so well and are doing so very well. Good job! 👍🏻 just hope this brightens your already bright day a little bit more.
The 17 Year old boy who skipped school is so sensible and aware. Stay strong. God bless him and his family. The probation officers are doing an amazing job. Kudos to all of you. thank you.
Your children's behaviour is the outcome of parent's attitude, sadly most of the time those so call "ADULTS" won't admit their mistakes and reflect upon their action, they think it is ok to treat their children this way because they are PARENTS..... Children lack of parent's acceptance and understanding so they seek it elsewhere thus this breed miscommunication breakdown between them.
100% agree to that, the worst kind of parent is the Narcissistic Parent, the kind that only think they are right and always looking to come out as the I know best you must acknowledge my superiority. Sad to say ah but parent like this there is only 1 way to deal with them okay. To torture them physically to break them physically. A human can only take so much pain before they break. This is proven by science. ‘Girl seeking Approval’ case father fit the description. Last of all, if the child grows up to be a sociopath, don’t blame the child okay. It’s your fault as the parent because of your narcissistic behaviour that the child turns up to be what they are to win you as you cannot be reason with. Quite frankly, I am surprised the girl in the case did grow up to be a sociopath. People like her father cannot be reason with the only way to win them is to break them through physical pain, so much so that they break because they cannot take it.
@@williamtay741 thanks for reading and responding, I just felt it takes both side to form a handshake when comes to educating a child. humans is and can be fallible, as long as both parties willing to reflect their mistakes and change for the better it will definitely bond the entire family much closer then ever.
Great to see this teenagers gotten the help they needed. Good job officers and probationers.. God Bless..
My son
If you have an adoptive child is always best to explain that to them as early as you can, children can accept that more easily than older kids. Besides it is their right to know the full truth about their history and identity. Adoption is not easy, but adoptive parents must accept that their kids may one day decide to get to know and have a relationship with their birth family too, it is for their own good.
So much respect for the MSF personnel. Really the unsung heros of the society. Thank you MSF & CNA for bring such stories to the masses.
These probation officers deserve a salary raise!
Certainly. Witnessed nothing but professionalism throughout these 3 episodes! 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Very nice series. Thank you for uploading. I was like them in the past too, so I can relate to them. I hope all of the probationer can do well in the future.
But I also like to reach out to the social workers who go the extra miles to help them. Kudos to you all!
To the 17yo boy who skipped school, I hope in future that u will be a better person. Moving forward and keep on striving, help yourself is helping others! :) u will be a fine person one day cause they see the change in you!! 😊
8:09 those cuts on his arms are so worrying. It looks like he’s harming himself- this looks like he’s fallen through the cracks. And then the mom disappearing on him - so upsetting. Wish they had more help from the family. Cannot tahan the girl’s father - so negative and unwilling to change.
I feel so happy for the girl seeking approval and the boy who stole motorcycle! Keep pressing on and you will be great in life!
Kudos to the probation officers. Cannot imagine myself doing such a job everyday, having to face problem youths and families. Im sure it is emotionally draining
the boy who skipped school
has come to his senses and I am so happy for him!
So proud of everyone in this video. Well done and wishing all of you the best!
To the girl seeking approval: You're doing a great job! :D Please keep going, and when you need help don't hesitate to ask for it because people are more likely willing to help. Also cutting out shitty people in your life is a great step in the right direction, you don't need bad enablers. I hope you read this and you think of all you have gone through and know you are way stronger than you really are.
If the kid has motivation to change, don't send him back to school, especially in Singapore. School completely breaks you, all the studying and expectations aren't healthy for someone on the edge of committing crime. Especially in a country like Singapore were they have one of the toughest education systems. Instead try to get him a job or something, guide him to growing up, etc..
😅
Well with the Boy Who Skipped School, I hope that he understands how his mother feels when he goes out and comes home late.
Fantastic job for producing such quality programs to give an insight on such young offenders
My probation officer was a total piece of crap. She was rude, condescending and miserable. I was on probation because I got caught with a joint at school. I was being sexually abused by my stepdad , was poor as hell, with my mom , 5 siblings and abusive stepfather , my father didn’t care for the sexual abuse and has been in and out of prison my whole life. I was struggling at school with other classmates and none of that was taken into consideration. They put me on probation and threatened to send me to juvenile, treated me like crap etc... but my abuser got 3 months and time served. He’s out rn, and I have a record. It was just weed. Some kids are just bad as hell, others (especially non violent offenders) could be going through something. I think they should look more into these things before pursuing criminal charges, for “crimes” not hurting people.
Everyone deserves a second chance. Happy to know these youths have changed for the better and glad we have nice and patient officers to guide the rest to the better path. Do not give up on life. Believe in yourself
the song
every generation blames the one before
is so factual!
When family faces challenges and severe dysfunction
it rubs into the core of the person
be it children or parents!
hey everyone great to be back.
That 17 years old who skipped school and skateboarding actually related to me when I’m young and it’s very understanding because he need peace and need more space to relax his mind. Later few years later he will realised that it’s only small matter and will skate become pro and better happy man for sure. Trust me, since young does feel very sensitive and naive but when growing up many years you will find something weird in the past was very silly. 😅
I'm happy for them that they all managed to find their way to a happier place than before
don't give up!
bless u guys, really sweet helpful angels. wish u guys at msf all the best💓and im so proud of all of those kids, they're really trying their best 💓💓
the girls father obviously has deep-seated issues
I love staying in bed so i won’t get into all these
Aside from the young man with real medical issues, all I see are a bunch of brats. If your child stays out all night and comes home at 6 o'clock AM and you let them in that's YOUR fault, not theirs. If your child stops going to school and you permit them to live in your house without contributing that's YOUR fault, not theirs. This is what happens when you have no rules or boundaries. The parents need to step up. Whatever these probation officers are getting paid it's not enough. They're basically parents to these children.
Am a Malaysian....truly amazed to see how majority Singaporeans could speak excellent English...amazed all the Makcik's could speak proper english...THUMBS UP TO THE SINPOREANS EDUCATION SYSTEM....they are doing extremely good.
I always believed in a 2nd chance, that there is a silver lining in every after storms that came into our lives no matter how bad it became the chances is surreal to those who seek for it.
The father of the girl need counselling or prison service more than the child. He has his issues more, and he is harming his children life. My goodness.
Seems like the parents are quite crappy tbh...
Those parents have high standards for their kids and consistently pushing their kids to become someone that the kids have no interest in the first place. And also that the family now adays have both working parents so the time they spent with their kids are lesser especially during puberty.
To be fair, it depends on the severity of the crime. Major crimes like sexual assault or robbing can't possibly be on probation right? Kids will just use this as their "leeway" to commit crimes and get off freely.
It all started with “I don’t think”
Only when these teens become parents than they will realize how much headaches and heartache they have given to their family.
And the parents giving much heartache to them too.. it isnt one way.
@@90taetaeya agreed. family and parents can be toxic too. please dont blame one side.
Young man.. U can do it. ITE is good. I also ITE student. Don't give up
I was worry about my grade when I was 15 lol, I had nothing to do other than that
what you see is not always the way it should be
40:47 gratitude bookmark
44:28 purpose
46:23 i really feel thankful that i got caught
Luckily I don't have to go probation. I seek doctor/therapy instead of regretting going to school and attending some f*ck ed up stuff.
CB TOO MUCH STATIC SOUND EFFECT
Some parent just need to taught in hardway coz of past culture bring up history
why does an officer need to wear a mask when doing a video meeting one to one?
because of the camera crew
these day of age , still got these type of the father ? so negative, lol
Sounds to me like the skateboarder kid has pretty clear ADD. It's not up to us ADD'ers when we sleep, and sleep shaming only makes it worse. Sometimes this and other symptoms add up to what looks like some kind of defiance disorder. It's tough to know what's the chicken and what's the egg. But attention to and genuine questions about the issue, instead of just being reprimanded, shamed, punished and yelled at from parents, is a very good first step.
ADD and ACE score are also highly correlated, and scientifically proven as one of the most primary causes.
Happy these kids have healthy interventions. Cuz clearly the parents couldn't hear them (likely because these parents were too busy with their own disregulated nervous systems and past trauma to be supportive and present parents...parents that expect to birth a grown adult. Instead of understanding they're just children). And often it's because the parents are making their children responsible for their own emotions (it's an inverse relationship).
Parenting styles like I've seen in this video create co-dependant behaviors. "If you don't treat me good, why am I even trying to be better?" I've had to spend years undoing this pattern, and I'm lucky I've been able to afford therapy.
Once again, thank God for these interventions for these kids.
parents are not helping as well. all want to do their own thing..
is this scripted ? can someone tell me seems scripted to me
maybe some of them are not at the moment situation and they re-enact it
Honestly lah, the adopted boy should be more grateful towards his adoptive parents. Its his adoptive parents take care of him since young, they spent time and efforts not his biological parents okay
Sometimes its better to adopt a pet instead.
Yes and No, actually I feel it takes both parties. I can understand the adoptive parents are upset that the boy are in contact with his biological mum. She mentioned that they had raised him since he was a new born till now at age 18. If he is brought up in a very loving environment, they should trust him enough and should not have felt this way.
As a mother herself, if she put herself in the biological mother position, would she react the way she did? When her feelings are express in such aggressive manner, I feel the boy would be more incline to keep to himself.....
I may understand that the adoptive parents may have felt disappointed that their adoptive son has intentions to keep contact with his biological family and demanded on the context of respect to inform them. Well.....seriously if he turns 21 years old and decide to leave the family, they can't do anything as well.
Will I applaud the adoptive parents for their generous heart in adopting the boy, God bless them, maybe letting it go will yield better relation with the boy. He will mature and appreciate them more.
So funny if u r goin to 21 yrs old...u near to adult...don”t de panda family or get so upset of wat that”d said...TIME cn prove...nothing else..Let TIME prove...some 18 yrs old already a mum n wig hard fr her family...
Thrill? Also you have to pay $500,000 just to get a license!
japan will retake the kurils sakhalin and vladivostok. south korea will take north korea.
if u wanna steal why steal from kedai mama sia, steal from ntuc better
u got steal before?!?!?!
Wow skipping school is against probation! One of the worst criminal systems in the world! Just making sure they all keep coming back. I wonder who runs the prisons. Maybe a private company…
Probation is to instill discipline in these kids. What else does kids have to do except for going to school? If they are skipping schools because they are not feeling well, then that is ok as long as they submit an mc. But if they skip school because they can’t wake up in time or for whatever reason, then this is not right isn’t it?
Can someone explain to me why these offenders, doesn’t want to study but instead hang out with “bad” friends? It’s true that friends will slowly drift apart, and if one needs money in future, it’s not very likely that their friends will be able to lend them money and stay by their side. Hence it makes more sense to at least try to study so have more opportunities to have a good job and work in some industry that you like. I remember I was studying hard for O lvls and my ex best friend ghosted me 🙄 well o lvls is once in a lifetime and it’s important for me. She should have asked and I could have explained. I never regretted studying though, bc I like getting paid and being able to support my family back.
Secondly, those young offenders are really not repentant... how can they survive bc next time when they go to the working world, their employers will not be so patient with them
studying in singapore is depressing especially with how competitive our society is. for them maybe studying isn't what they are good at and with the pressure from school, it often leads them to try and find ways to help them destress from school life. well in these cases, most of them didn't have good family support which causes them to find more comfort in these "bad" friends where they are able to talk to an communicate more with since they are on the same wavelength.
financially wise, people who don't have much money tend to struggle with making long term decisions and usually focus on short term. that's why they wouldn't think much about studying especially what I have said in the first paragraph. what would make sense for you would be clouded easily if you were to be put in a stressful condition where you feel that no one can help you (family support)
throughout the whole series, the MSF team talked a lot about families playing an important role in the offenders life and most of the offenders we have seen are usually affected by poor family support. friends are usually secondary for your case but with these offenders, they found their temporary comfort and solace in these friends rather than their family who aren't able to connect with them well. your O level story only shows the possible issues with proper family connections.
gotta agree with you on the 2nd paragraph tho, but again, habits are quite hard to change ah, hopefully they can change it slowly during their given time
A lot probably has to do with the age they're at, where the brain isn't fully developed yet, especially the area that makes rational decisions and judgements. That's probably why the probation is offered to "young offenders" in the first place, cause it's acknowledged that many probably just missing that guidance in their life. Also at the teenage age, peer acceptance becomes a lot more important than family! Which is why most would choose to follow their friends.
Lucky unblurring AI exists! It can help show what all the boys' faces look like!
Why would u wanna do that? They blurred for a reason, they want privacy plz respect that
