- Sunday Night reporter Tim Noonan meets a remarkable 11-year-old girl who is quite literally, one in a billion.
Brave Supatra “Nat” Sasuphan suffers from an incredibly rare genetic disorder called Ambras Syndrome - or Werewolf Syndrome - which results in her body being covered in hair, including all over her face. It was thought to be incurable, but scientists have made a breakthrough in discovering what triggers her excessive hair growth.
And they’re hopeful Supatra’s misfortune maybe the key to curing baldness for millions of men around the world.

What a precious little girl. So glad that her parents decided not to try to hide her away. She looks to have some great friends and to be one as well.
I still don't understand the evil people who bully others.
That is because the bullies never look at themselves in the mirror or they look at themselves in the mirror for the wrong reasons. Humans with no arms, no legs & still can find ways to do things. She’s no different because her actions tell the whole story about being active.
Ignorance, fear, resentment* bullying
They lack something that others with empathy have…a kindness gene
Especially of it is something due to no fault of your own!
A bully is a broken person. That's really all you need to understand I think. They're just..broken.
Her dance routine with her friends was so cute. She is such a courageous positive girl.
Can she shave it off?
She couldn’t have been born in a better environment. What amazing parents and community she has. She not ostracized and has a great hold on her confidence.
What a great kid! Thank you to her parents for being sensible about her condition and not sheltering her from the world.
She's a strong girl to ignore the bullies and I'm glad it paid off for her. Bless the friends who accept her, if only all children could be taught like that. The scientific side is very interesting. I hope they will find something to help this girl soon.
Accept her for and how she is. She's a happy child.
Incredibly courageous. Amazing parents
Her parents have done a great job! She feels loved and accepted and has great friends. ❤❤❤
She’s adorable! I hope she continues having lots of friends as she grows older. What a precious little girl
Never heard of this before, but one in a billion! That's amazing, and it makes me wonder what this little miracle is going to do/be/have someday considering how far 'ahead' of most of us she already is. I admire how proud she is of herself, how much she genuinely likes herself. Many adults can't even say that. Bravo, Nat!
There was a Latin American boy in the Guiness World Records.
never heard of her before,however i remember hearing of the condition even as a kid, never realized just how incredibly rare it is.
Such an amazing young girl, I wish her the very best in life, xxx
The 4 girls friendships is so sweet
This young lady exudes so much positivity! May you be happy and healthy always!
What a beautiful child ❤
They could at least clipper it down
She is a precious and strong little girl, and I'm so grateful her family is supportive. I noticed she has the longer canine teeth too.
You and your parents are very strong! Keep it up and ignore the ignorant. Imagine if they are in the same situation. You are an amazing girl, don't you ever forget that. 💖 ❤
What a beautiful little girl, and her parents are so sweet to her. Keep being yourself my deer.
Having PCOS and not near as hairy as this poor child I can say electrolysis and lasers don’t work!
how about flare?
it's like nair but just gasoline and a match....i haven't heard good reviews
obviously I'm not serious.
Bless her heart! I pray for a cure soon!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen Thank God He looks at our Heart & Hopefully more will turn to JESUS & be saved🙌🕊️🕊️🕊️
@@kimfenn4311 🙏🙏🙏
Amen 💕 🙏🏻 💕
Great parenting and a happy child 😊🎉
God bless this beautiful precious angel 💕🙏🏻💕
What a brave girl and her family. ❤❤❤
What a wonderful little girl and such an incredible loving family. This was beautiful ❤
Wishing her all the best for a long and happy life. Bless you Nat!!
Life can be very unkind to innocent children
Theres too much emphasis on people wanting the perfect body nowadays. So many people getting extreme plastic surgery done. We are all individuals and everyone is different. You are a beautiful girl and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Ignore the bullies theyre the ones with a problem not you. ❤❤❤❤
Great Spirit and did Not miss a beat dancing with her classmates 😊. I wish this precious little girl the best. God Bless her 🙏
It's just hair. It doesn't need removing or shaving off. It looks silky and soft. I think it looks amazing tbh.
It's easy to say, but as a woman in today's world, I believe it will be very hard to live with as she grows older and wants to wear makeup and feel attractive by society's standards.
@@BrittMFHyes my societies standard 🤮This little girl is still a Blessing from God & her HEART is her BEAUTY as with us ALL🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
Forget society it sucks & is SO flippen in love with beauty 😂Thank God JESUS makes us Beautiful in HIS eyes & that’s ALL that matters ✝️🙌🌸🌸🌸
@@kimfenn4311Amen 💕🙏🏻💕
I feel for these poor people. I wish I could hug this precious little girl: and all the people that suffer with this issue.
She’s a beautiful happy little girl. 🤗😎🫶🏼
Thank goodness this angel has loving caring parents ❤❤❤❤ they are amazing.
She’s got really good parents
I Agree that no one should bully anyone with any Syndrome, I Choose to be Kind, this young girl I feel for her, and when she dances I can tell it really makes her happy to be dancing with friends😍😍😍😍🥰🥰
What a beautiful young girl. What an amazing attitude.
SHES IS SO ,BRAVE,,SO INCREDIBLE THAT SHE DESERVES THE SUPER BEST,,
CONGRATULATIONS MY DARLING,,
I think they are obviously studying this to get a baldness cure. But if it helps this girl, the more scientific and pharma research is good.
They said that right away.
@tinyGrim1
Lol, right away, what? That scientist has been studying the condition the girl has for 20 years. All she said was she *thinks* there's a gene that's turned on or turned off. ....lol, we already know that's how conditions like these happen. Even if they isolate the gene (notice the scientist didn't say they have isolated (found) the specific gene?) they still have to be able to 'repair' the gene itself.
Crazy how I always called myself a “werewolf” because I am very hairy! Everywhere. Don’t matter where I shave my hair or cut, it grows back in days. But I didn’t know that this was a condition. Mine is not this extreme. But my hair grows fast and is very thick.!
I think Nat’s hair is beautiful.
I don't understand why she can't use a pair of clippers while they try to find a cure. I realize that a razor could be painful and cause bleeding and such, but it seems like she could at least use a pair of clippers to shave it down so that it is just stubble and not all in her eyes and covering her face.
I feel that little girl is so adorable. She is so pretty. I just want to hug her. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think she is absolutely adorable.
This child is an angel. She is so beautiful ❤️, God made her this way. God bless you sweet Angel
SHE'S STILL A BEAUTIFUL CHILD. I WISH I HAD A DAUGHTER. GOD BLESS HER❤
Que menina linda😍💐deus abençoe ela e sua família 🌷
What a lovely little girl ❤
She has a lot more friends now. I am one.❤️
Allow her to be and enjoy her destiny.
Beautiful child.
She seems like a lovely little girl
Prayers ❤️
Precious girl!!
What a brave sweetheart 🙏🌹❤️
Beautiful young girl, inside and out! She's all tt a girl can do and more! Am sure she will have an abundant and fulfilling life ahead! :))
I know she may not think so but this little angel is one in not a million! But A BILLION! She has a beautiful soul and frankly I think she is adorable and will be stunning as she grows up.
Don’t cry mom she is beautiful! ❤
Worlds stop bully . Thank you to her parents good take care and support her . She look happy . God bless to her .
SHAVING ?? ... WHY NOT??
I have a gene mutation as well, mine is that my blood is thicker than normal and so I got lots of blood clots. I’m on high doses of blood thinners and have not had a clot in a few years. I hope she gets a cure or something that at least helps her.
I wish I could take the stigma away from this beautiful child, and wear that stigma myself to protect her. God bless beautiful girl 💓
What a sweet young lady. I wonder why she couldn’t have a different kind of laser hair removal , there’s got to be a better way ?
Image being able to say that you are one in a billion. She's truly special ❤
I had a student with this but his was in patches all over his body.
What a sweet girl❤️
There are movies about this,I don't think it was called this though
I’m going to guess that this a genetic expression of some ancient, recessed gene, from the period in our evolution when we were more like primates. So maybe it’s not a mutation, but it is indicative of our ancestral past. It’s interesting that the hair is lighter and finer appearing, than what her Asian parentage would indicate.
I like how he said the Dr. Is on the brink of a big breakthrough! Then she says it’s a gene that has to be turned on or off. Well ,yes thank you for the big break through! 😂😂😂
She is so beautiful.❤
Om Tare Tutarre Ture Soha 💚🙏🏼
Gorgeous little girl.
when doctor finally find cure it will wait she look like after removed all hairs on face….. maybe she doesn’t need that because she has pure strong girl and positive energy in her!
How could you see her and not love her? Yes, she will have tough times ahead. But i think she'll always have people who love her to help her through :)
Io non ho capito una cosa. Non può tagliarli o raderli? Succede qualcosa se lo fa?
She looks rad
People will look, but don’t bully.
Why not use a razor or Nair that removes hair??
with how rare that is, even if multiple are alive at once, who knows how far apart they'd be in ages or distance, even in modern society, having a friend with the same struggle could be impossible.
How many people are on this planet? She is not the only person with this problem.
If she was in India they would pray to her lol
Weeh poor girl
🤔 Just wondering if they tried hair removal products like Neet or Nair? Using it weekly for 2 yrs have decreased bodily and facial hair considerably in both women and men.
I don’t think that would be safe around her eyes.
@@judymurray191 : 🤔 That maybe true as skin on face is more sensitive and needs just a fraction of time or one specifically for face. But I swear it really worked!
I hope the scientists come up with a cure. There can't be a large customer base for the cure, making it unprofitable to research. If the effort was for finding a cure for baldness alone, the demand would rise.
get some #1 clippers, nice trim once a day..
I’ve seen people with this disorder on a talk show talk about why that’s incredibly impractical. 1.) they have too much hair to shave, 2.) it grows back extremely fast and by the afternoon would already be starting to show up again. Some have tried laser hair removal with varying levels of success
@@I-hate-youtube797 Yeah that dont make sense.. even if that IS the case, men have dealt with fast growing beards for a millenia, we have chargable clippers now that can fit in your pocket, i highly doubt they couldnt keep it around a #1 daily, just taking 30 seconds to trim it with a .5..
And lol they could even nair her face and pull it all at the root and do that like once a week.. its just probably not feasible because of price and where they live..
growing hair is the real problem, lol i really doubt its growing inches in hours.. even if they clipped it to a .5, or .25, and by the end of the day it was a 2.. thats effing progress..
@@thomasriddle8877 okay I’m sure the dozens of people suffering with this are wrong and you who doesn’t have this condition knows 🙄
@@I-hate-youtube797 lmfao. they are literally using scissors to cut it.. what makes a trimmer so different other than length?.. im a man with a face covered in hair. i think i qualify for discussing a girl with a face covered in hair..
ITS LITERALLLY POCKET SIZED.. wtf lol.. is the hair so thick its like shaving metal wires?
does it grow so fast that withing 3 hours its 3 inches from nothing?
LMAO.. if not then my point stands.. a trimmer will work..
I think your thinking of electrolysis.. which is ive heard not worth it, it grows back and the procedure is expensive..
i heard nothing about them trying to use trimmers..
I dont care if that shyt grows 2 inches by lunchtime.. trimmers would keep her from walking on her face hair by dinner..
2:54 that bearded lady has PCOS, not werewolf syndrome.... You can tell the difference because all she grew was a beard a lot of us women have this condition and that is one of the symptoms
So help her shave it off!
Beautiful girl
😢😢😢
Why don't they shave it off every day
Maybe because it is a Child. It doesnt have the patience and it grows quicker than normally they Said.
Did you even watch the video?
Деньги скорее всего на этом зарабатывают,поэтому и не бреют
@@user-sj1qi5ko1mthat could be true. I think if the hair was shaved once a day it would be fine. I think you can love your child and deal with the hair issue.
What happened to the child's teeth?
I don't understand why they don't use a laser to remove it
Laser removal is extremely expensive for a temporary result. I don’t understand why we can’t accept her as just a beautiful young girl. 🤗
they did, did u watch the video?
@@blindkimberly1360 It's not that expensive and it is permanent. I've had it done and it works
WATCH THE VIDEO!
oh wow, this is far more than just an issue with hair as she also has like wolf teeth and that strange nose.
She’s so cute
There’s a whole family in Mexico too. All of them are like that! Guess what that’s God’s child!
Let's help her. Bet she is cute under the hair. Prayers for cure.
She cute with the excess hair and what a brave little girl she could teach us many things. I hope a cure is found for her very soon ❤
Too bad that god has saddled this child with such a difficult fate!
Cool tbh
# Hair REMOVER ?? ELECTROLYSIS ??!! WHY NOT?!
Electrolysis?
Painful?
That would literally take years and years and cost many thousands of dollars!
How ridiculous not to shave her face every day! Men do it.
Those men aren't covered in so much hair!
Its not hard to shave if you dont like it …
