Kevin is homeless. His mother kicked him out when he was 15 years-old

- Kevin is a homeless youth living in a Chicago youth shelter. Kevin's mother kicked him out when he was 15 years-old, and he spent the next few years couch surfing. At 17, Kevin went and moved in with his dad, where he says they both put a lot of their feelings in a bottle. When that relationship exploded, Kevin found himself back out in the streets.
Kevin shares a candid story of sleeping outside and the realities of being a homeless youth.
When I asked Kevin what his future was like, he responded that he had been in so many places the last 3 years - that he didn't know, but at 18 Kevin is a young man with a world of experience. You only have to listen to him for a short time to know he's on a good path now, and if he stays the course, Kevin will do just fine.

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as CZcams, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.

Hello everyone. This video is about me
I seen your comments so I posted a video of me rn thanking yall.. call it an update
. My name is Kevin Ortiz. I used to be homeless in the streets of Chicago.
My life has just been 2 steps forward n a kick in the butt backwards. I've never asked for help for Myself but for my dogs I will put aside my ego.
My dog Maggie was attacked by a bigger animal, that out weighed her by 80 pounds.
I managed to wrestle her out it's mouth but the dog sunk his teeth too deep, tearing off her shoulder muscle n a piece of her triceps
To make it worse the owner of the dog gave me FALSE Information about herself so there was no way to contact her to see if she can help with the payment because it was her dog that attacked mine.
So I was left on my own.
she had to to go through 2 surgery.
I've worked so hard to get off the streets n make something of myself but I need someone's help Now in my most dire time
I would love n appreciate those who can find it in their hearts to help my lil family out.
My Dogs mean EVERYTHING TO ME
They given me purpose to become someone good
N I'm doing everything I can but it's not enough. things still happen n I'm forced to ask for help.

@@therealkevinortiz8823 this is actually very life teaching as I was struggling homelessness with a family of 7 in LA which is harder since apartments are fucked up and dont want large families in there building so this really meant a lot
TheReal KevinOrtiz you sir should get a free college scholarship
If you guys are wondering where he is or how is he - he's doing alright. He's my co-worker; works in a different department, but I still hang out with him. He's 28 years old, has his apartment, and lives with his dogs. Even though it has been almost 10 years, he's still as cheerful as he is in this video.
Thank you so much for this update ❤ I wish him and the creator of this CZcams channel could get together and have an update video! Would love to hear from him and his story how he made it and just to see his cheerful personality again
What is his job and in what area do you live?
Sweet man
Thanks for the update, I’m glad he’s doing well, blessings to you both 🙏🏽
thanks for the update. We'd like more as he seems so nice and wants to make something of himself
This dude gave me a big ass reminder to be grateful and very humble.

I was bout to cry
Hes a so good boy i hope hes doing well and have a good life if i vould i would take him to my house or find him a house and just talk to his parents its really sad
The first wish is not even for himself!
I know man. Wow. These folks appreciate the important things in life.
i can't stop crying
@Enrique G Human nature is terrible. The devine nature in a man can make that man do some pretty beautiful stuff.
I noticed it is a repeat response in a lot of these interviews. Maybe a realization that we dont need much and the recognition of the amazingness of love.
Maybe... I hope so.
I don’t understand how parents can even sleep at night knowing that their child is homeless. Have some decency ffs
UNDERRATED comment
@Basit Amiri Actually I'd say parents are more accepting and loving nowadays.
@Afan Ashiq 2013...
Parents could be completely unstable and unable to even take care of themselves. This guy could be very violent. There is something wrong with Kevin’s situation that has put him in this place and we have no idea what is wrong.
@@undercomposition well he seems nice from his videos
God I’m 15. My sheltered ass cant even imagine what kind of pain this guy went through
He’s homeless and he looks happier than 95% of people these days. He’s doing something right
Might be hiding his pain and sadness🙁
he accepted his fate, he is not actually happy
Or maybe because he is not a freaking-fragile-snow freckle like most kids these days.
@@alfredohernandez7486 lmao yeah
@Blood Beryl You stupid idiot, he said "he looks happy." He never mentioned he is happy. Didn't you learn comprehensive reading at school?

I’m ur 300th like
@@s_a_m2007 I'm ur first
He did drugs u do realise that
He may not look like it but this guy is a real man who doesn’t play victim and won’t let being homeless effect his status at school or anywhere
There’s nothing wrong with being a victim and feeling frustrated
Now kids/young adults these days throw a fucking tantrum if they don't get their way or if they're not given shit loads of attention when they claim that they're offended for some ridiculous bullshit without any logic or common sense attached to it...I seriously can't believe it got so fucking far away from how it needs to be.
He is more grown up than his parents.
YUP should not have been kicked out. actually that is child abuse. Parents are legally responsible untill age 18. That is that.
You don't get it. The police can actually take your house and the rest of your property if someone in your home is doing drugs. It's called asset forfeiture. It's highway robbery system perpetrated by the police at both state and federal level. You can't have a person in your car with so much as a any kind of drug paraphernalia. You can't have a chunk of money in your pocket. Police stops you for a busted tail light, search you, find 300 cash in your pocket, or $3000.00, and ask you where you got it. If you can't prove that it's not drug related, they decide that it's drug related and keep your money. Police will steal the jewelry off your neck under this same policy. So if his mom wanted to not also become homeless she needed to get a drug user out of her home, even if it's her son, or risk losing her home because of him.
You don't know his parents.
@@KuttyJoe oh no, the 15 year old got caught with some dwugs? No court in all of fucking history is going to leave an entire family homeless over that, goofy
@@ianharrison5758 Your disagreement is not with me idiot, it's with your own ignorance. Asset forfeiture or Civil forfiture. All you needed to do was google 2 words but instead, you come back here and call me goofy.
Man he got 3 wishes and he didn’t make none of it for himself, he got a big heart
I know right! 🙌🏼
Tetova Tetovo He was forced to live on the streets at 15, and even states that him and his father bottle there emotions.. so maybe you should rethink your thought process and try again.
He is an idiot for having a big heart even after what the world did to him.

Tron./ sorry but how do you know that? Just curious
ben dover really?
@@madelinerincon9628 how do you know that? I don't believe it. He's clearly not on drugs.
My brother was tossed out by my mom when he was 15, 35 years ago, after my dad left us to have affairs. My bro ended up being sexually abused and completely destroyed by men on the street. They began to ply/groom him with drugs and alcohol, and he was raped by one of them when he was 14 or 15. After that it just got worse. He even spent time on Skid Row. I am surprised he still alive. He ended up as an alcoholic and sometimes using pills when he tried to get off the alcohol, and finally he became diabetic and had to stop abusing himself. He also developed multiple sclerosis. He has 3 beautiful children and a wife that have been through hell, because of fallout from the abuse cycle that began probably before my parents. Despite all that, my brother is one of the most incredible people I have ever known. Extremely intelligent, very chatty, highly capable, concerned about the community, his neighbours, and always ready to help others.
God bless you and your brother may your life be filled with greatniss ❤️🙏
Love and light ...💗🤘💗
Your realmother did that?
logged into my account just to tell you that your mom is a piece of 💩 my mom did the same to me & it ruined my life. i was homeless & went through hell. she's dead & i am a poorly functioning adult & living with my dying father who is a lifelong hoarder. how many people's lives have been ruined by uncaring mothers? smh
That is so sad I’m tearing up right now :(
God Strike me Right Now if im lying but this is my friend. We went to high school together at Foreman in Chicago. We became real close friends and it turned out he use to live down the street from me so we always use too hang out. I know he had problems but he never told me it was that severe. Man I’m stunned right now watching this Video I almost shed a tear. Just too let you all know he’s doing Amazing now 👍🏽 He deserves everything he got right now. Man I still can’t believe I seen this video. God Bless you all.
Is he still homeless?
Does he have a home
If you know his mother smack her for
Me. This kid is way too good for her.
He might be smiling but you can tell he's hurting by his eyes.
Quite rude
@Francisco Pereira Every human has feelings no matter the gender.
@sapphire blue speed craw It is sad that at a young age you're supposed to believe that. Emotions shouldn't be perceived that way. Emotions is what makes you a human being. I hate it when people call you a crybaby if you're soft and, heartless if you don't show emotion. Nobody can tell your life story just by looking at you. But if you ever feel an emotion, don't take it the wrong way. Be yourself.
Francisco Pereira your fucking stupid, everyone has feelings and just cause they don’t show it doesn’t mean they don’t

The wishes from homeless people always blow me away. They don't ask for money, they ask for things like happiness, well being, and good things for others.
Same 🥺
I melted when he told his 3 wishes. Despite being kicked out by his family he's still forgiven them that takes a lot of strength to even wish them well than his sake.
His attitude is survivor and he isn't playing victim.. awesome!

Third wish? His reply to the question is full of generosity. He grabed me; blessings be on him.
I can listen to this guy talk for hours.
3 wishes he said:
1. That my family is safe
2. Tell my family how I really messed up
3. Give my last wish away
I wish there were more people like him
instead of having people like him lets say i will be like him

@Freedom Ofspeech yikes
I have known some parents use religion as their justification.
“I’d probably give it to somebody” man has nothing and give away his wish that’s crazy
Amazing , you would think he says I want money I want this but he said his family to be safe and for them to know how much he regrets his decisions and his 3rd wish give it to someone he astonished me
How a mother can bring a child to this world and then dump him to the streets like an animal. This is disgusting for me
Agreed

Very common. I saw it a lot, especially in woman that had self-esteem issues and was busy chasing the acceptance of the world than being a good mom, and don't let her have an issue with the child's father that child will feel the blow of it.

“My third wish, I’d probably give it to somebody” this guy is amazing. God bless him.
Mango dude never asked for anything for himself. People like him have more value than any eyes can see. That’s a true definition of being worth your weight in gold.
Apparently he died. Sad
Some people are claiming drug overdose due to depression complications later on. I don't want to belive that, I hope he is alive and well.
I hope he gets a good job to rent some where very soon
@@puffymuffin9064 he's dead
"It's nice, I like it here"
Damn this guy got lots of respect even though he is homeless.
Humble guy
18 years old, homeless, gets 3 wishes, he wishes peace and understanding to his family, and would give the last wish away (he couldn't think of how to help others, quickly). Some people are just NOT selfish. This is one of them, and i hope you find all life has to offer (the best parts). Im curious to know - how he made out 7 yrs later. He is 25 now
was about to say the same
Then im probably selfish cuz im not giving my wishes to somebody
I too got kicked out at 16 by my mom, didn’t have a dad. jumped couches at home boi houses. But I could only stay for so long. Hardest part was walking around my town trying to stay positive but not knowing where I’ma go and stay. I sold drugs to get by. Got drunk everyday to hide the pain. I stayed in a trap house for bout 6 months. Met my wife n she helped me out so much. I now am a homeowner, have my dream car, good career. Hard times don’t last only strong people do. If ya reading this n going through it DO NOT GIVE UP I promise u theres a light at the end of the tunnel.
May God bless you brother💛🙏
I'm really happy for you, bro!!
Well done for making amazing changes. Best of luck on the rest of your journey 👊

oh boy, do I got a story to tell you🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Glock-dm5wt Tell me
@@Nova04550 guy you see in the video is my cousin. during the time of the making of this video (a little after), he stole alot of stuff from my mom's house including all of our electronics ($600 worth) to support his drug habit. We gave him food, roof over his head, and my dad would even help him out with a bit of money every now during his hard times and then yet he still stole most of our belongings at the time even after we opened our arms to him. If your wondering how he's doing now unfortunately he hasn't changed. he has now burned down all the family bridges he once had because of this behavior. We have tried to help him when he begged and we did. We tried reaching out to help and we did. Nothing has changed these past 8 years. Because of Kevin's heavy hostility towards the few that cared about him, now he's on his own. I loved my cousin to death, now he hates me too because I'm my mother's son. I've never done anything to him to act the way he does towards me (I'm a minor) now i see why his family gave him the cold shoulder.
All we can do is pray.
@@Glock-dm5wt Oh man that's really sad to hear. I guess I always try to see the best in people and see their potential. I can be biased from my own experience because when I was a teenager I got into a lot of trouble, had a lot of issues with family, had pretty much nobody, but I was smart like him and completely turned my life around as an adult and have lived straight and honest and self-reliant the whole time.
Never though have I ever betrayed someone like that. But I have heard this story time and time again when it comes to drug addiction, which I've never dealt with personally.
My whole family misses my brother-in-law dearly who has caused a lot of similar grief due to addiction and is never seen anymore.
Watching the video back, at the end when he's talking about his wishes, and then knowing that shortly after he goes and robs his family. It just makes you weary about people that have learned how to say nice things (but not actually mean them) to gain people's good will and get things from them.
It's a serious and tragic health crisis, and most people just don't get the help they need (or accept it).
Not sure I have any advice for you, but what I will say is that although human beings are open systems that can learn and change, we cannot control the circumstances that made us who we are. We cannot help but be just what we are. We do not resent a crocodile for doing what a crocodile does. The dominoes just fall. And thus hate does not make any logical sense. Only love, forgiveness, and understanding.
I hate people having sex and not having to face the consequences of having a kid.

These interviews are really moving.They always randomly pop up in my feed and I watch them now and again and there is usually a pattern in most of them. The person being interviewed usually has a smile on their face, strange but it seems as though they are genuinely happy someone is taking the time to hear their story. Second, when they are asked what would they do with 3 wishes, they almost always cant think of what they would want, or they can think of two things and the third is where they have a hard time. I was dealt better cards than some of these people but ive had those close to me suffer through homelessness and I always try to help someone out when I can. A place to rest a night, some food, a fresh pair of shoes, a smoke; the little things to us can mean everything to another, give what you can.
Amen brother, amen. I pray that many more people embark on this
He got kicked out by his family and one of his wishes was still about his family
Being safe🤦♂️ real heart❤️

It's not easy listening to what these people are going through.
This is making me feel helpless, never thought I would be worried like this about anyone.
We don’t need person with million dollar to help homeless. All we need million people with heart to chip in 1 dollar
Exactly!! Well said.
This could work if charities are totally transparent. We don't know how much money they spend on things the money isn't intended for such as the salaries of employees. Even the owners get a share of the money.
shinytan all we need is one person making a million dollars a day to chip in just 1 day's salary once. Those people are out there. look it up.
@@jeancarlosartist why should they?
On the positive side, take a look at the various tiny homes projects online.
If I had a million dollars I’d fund his schooling. He deserves to be successful in life.
Fund whatever you can
Janik B every person like this does
Uhh, schooling wouldn’t be a good idea. I’d say teach him how to invest or create a resume. Get a job & save up funds to raise his own business
Janik B you don’t need a million dollars to do it
true kindness is giving when you have none to spare
The fact that he keeps smiling despite he telling the dark side of his life.
God Bless this man.. Hese homeless asked what he would do with three wishes and wished nothing for himself but foe his family same people that abandoned him..
And give his last wish away to somebody that needs it. WOW amazing
I feel so bad. He sounds like one of those guys that if u give him a chance, he will probably do amazing in it. Humblest kid ever.. he humbles me...
AbiSkits or the guy who would give you a chance.
@@Kingshiloh-fo2qc both!
Poor kevin
don’t even know him yet he looks like the most humble kid ever.
Deep Inside how?
@@zolpinerr9982 Don't waste your breath on this insensitive fool.
Deep Inside is one side of your brain missing or something?
@@silverlake973 what happened
Hes not a kid anymore
It’s illegal to kick your minor children out - and parents that do need to be held accountable. That being said, parents don’t kick their kids out for no reason - usually. I’m glad he sees his piece of his circumstances. His introspection is touching.
@DonKingKong really? What states? The federal law recognizes a person to be an adult at age 18. States don’t decide that. A child can be emancipated, but they require that child to be self supporting. So if you are right, I have never heard of it. Please give me more details.
This channel really is a blessing I been homeless for 4 years now and I keep coming back to watch an episode to give me strength, yes strength cos I get weak sometimes and sad so I listen to other people, I learn something each different episode and it's what keeps me going.
Lucky I've a friend that shares his wifi.
Because of this he’s actually gonna be there for his kids
If
That's if he lives💀💀
He died hopes the best for him
U can see his a good dude
flowersandcandy flowersandcandy Taking care of your kids does not require you to be a millionaire, not kicking them out and being there for them is the most important thing. That being said, in my comment I said “if” he ever has kids, never mentioned him having kids under unstable conditions or his conditions in this video.
flowersandcandy flowersandcandy ur the only one that managed to be clueless enough to not realize this video was 6 YEARS AGO! Lmfao. He’s probably doing wayyyyy better now. Just shut it mate
He blames himself for what happened to him, but I think his parents should 've support him no matter what he did. I mean - that's why the parents are there!
I agree, and sometimes you need to let your kid hit rock bottom because it will teach them a lesson, this kid has learned his lesson so that's where you usually pick it up as a parent. 🤷🏻♀️
Easier said than done. You obviously dont know kids these days...not saying he hasn't learned his lesson but speaking from my own experience
Exactly
@@QueenOmaNwanyi I understand completely. But then you know, why make babies just to leave them when they do wrong.
@@QueenOmaNwanyi yes.. I agree with you. My father kicked me out cause I didn't cut the grass for a week. And my mother kicked me out cause I stole $20 from her. All I'm saying is.. People shouldn't make mistakes. It's no excuse. Now, I live on the streets but at least I can afford a phone. Be grateful for the little things and don't disappoint your parents
He had 3 unselfish wishes the last one he would give away.. Beautiful heart ♥
You just don't know how happy i was when he said he's still going to school, this man really doesn't want to give up!
Some people shouldn’t have kids at all. I would never let my kids be homeless, I pick them over my life first.
FAX!!!!!
True
you are the man that understands life
Mehmet Genc yep
True kicking out isn’t right, it’s selfish and dumb you ruin your SONS life. If you truly love them teach them not kick them out. Bad parents.
He was a minor at the time he got kicked out. That's illegal, & "mom" should of been arrested for child abuse. Jeeze, what a pathetic woman! Good luck there, sweet boy!
@Diane Albrecht Agree! But that was 6 years ago is she still liable at this time?
@@Capricorn.1 I don't know. Depends upon state laws in his state. Wondering if she still collected the money after she kicked him out. Fraud? He should contact an attorney, legal aid, which is free. Good luck
@@dianealbrecht496 why most people get kicked out when they turn 18? Isn't that when you turn 18 you should go to university? How did their parents think they can find a good job easily without entering university?
Jason Todd my 17 year old opinion is the parents are trash
In no world should you get kicked out before 18, or even at 18
Get a job? Half the paycheck is car insurance
You really don’t love your kids if you boot your kids out like that
Edit: I’m not speaking to 100% of people
At 18 you should have a college plan later out, if you graduate and nothing, yikes...
@@jasontodd9947 this is a very American thing, after the baby boom(which created suburbs) and surplus housing. As for cultural, I don't know how to explain it
"The ground hurts" It's obvious but that's really deep if you think about it.
Seeing this kid smile is heartbreaking. He deserves so much more than the cards he was dealt. No excuses either. He doesnt say he was kicked out as a child at 15, he said when he was "younger" like it was nothing. How do you blame yourself for your situation and pray for them after what they did to you...
Non of his wishes were for himself, and he gave one away.
I wish you all the best kid.
He isn't a kid anymore hes 21 or 22.
" Fools are those that believe smiles are a sign of happiness."
sancho
Nah they said people that smiles hide sadness behind it...
I totally know what you saying. It's sad
So true...
True
I'm 14 and this is deep
“Third wish. I’ll probably give it to somebody.” 🥺 I’m not crying.. you are!!
For this young man to smile and appreciate the little that he has truly hits home for me. I'm here laying on a couch depressed over nothing compared to this young man. This is motivation.
I feel bad for this guy I swear not everyone is given a equal chance at life
Life is unfair
Capone kingpin King captain obvious
My dad died when I was 18 and I had to navigate the world alone from that point forward. I lived on the streets for a few weeks, but what change my life was when I enrolled in a trade school that had housing for students. I worked while I went to school and when I graduated I got a job in HVAC. I been blessed to this day. Point of story is you gotta be a problem solver and look for solutions.
Carson Laidlaw okay go donate nigga fuck you telling me for
There are people that have it far worse.
he had 3 wishes and he wished his family stays safe even after they kicked him out, real man right there. respect
he better. they put up with his shit until they couldn't anymore
MadHatterx shut the fuck up like you know his situation As a parent you should take responsibility his mistakes where their parents raising fault
@@MysticYusha lol blaming someone's failures on the parents is a lazy argument and is proven to be wrong
@@MysticYusha he most likely ran away, that's very common in teenage drug addicts
@@Mhats are you his parent if not how can you say bitch.
Now this young man is genuine. Love to help people who want to help themselves first.
maybe your wisdom at such a young age is beyond your families understanding? youre more now then they will ever be?? bless you brother
You can't give up on your kids, especially at 15 years old. Those parents simply gave up! Kevin, you should pursue your hobby. Go be a great chef!
6 years passed dude. Probably he's dead or millionaire now.
15 years old his life ain't even started...
@@jonnybgood1105 he is 21 now
Thanks I dropped the cooking n became a strip club manager
He seems like a very nice person
i like ur music
Domobrani NDH thank you so much
facebook.com/ko.k.ortiz.7 what a saint
I just saw u in nas daily comments bruh
And very humble 😊
Hes cool.. i just became homeless today, at a hotel then out tomorrow.. best of luck and love to you Kevin!!
Good luck!
@ᴠɪʙᴇʀ 編集 I will man.. when you're down you can only go up.. at least I think
He’s just a baby I’m a mother and that face melts my heart best wishes big man
People give up on their kids too easily. It’s sad.
In most cases you’re right, there are always two sides to every story. A co-worker sent his 16 year old packing after his drug problem led to an in house scuffle ending with the boy having a 9mm stuck to his moms temple. The trigger was never pulled but a three year series of events was enough for them to give up on him. His advice to us at work was choose your child’s friends.
Well, my co-workers kid just got caught up with the wrong crowd. They couldn’t have imagined it would get to the point it did.
Kids are punks its tough
@@skeezix8156 it doesn't matter a child is a child you don't give up on them thats your seed .. I would never give up on my daughter's ever no matter what attitude they give me because i signed up to be a father
@@skeezix8156 thats the parents fault if they get mixed uo in a wrong crowd
True suffering leads to compassion.
Not always.
True some people end up hurting others.
It either leads to compassion or hatred ..
Or crippling depression depending how bad it is.
yeaah if you're a leo it turns to good I think it happened to me
I wish Kevin is safe & happy & that he is surrounded by people who care about him.
A nice kid, sending him positive vibes.
“I Slept here at church, under a cross, God watch over me” that hit me. May God brighten your path and you reach Glory at the end brother. 🙏
Lord Jesus please help us connect with this brother.
kevin haris replied in the comment section and he said im not homeless anymore idk if its still trie
Waiting for the person that says “god isn’t real”.
Daniel Owens god protected his life the greatest gift is life and people like u are little minded to know that’s why people like u are the last to have mercy on so stfu
Amen
Even though he got kicked out he still wishes the best for his family.
Tamim PD10 was his first wish too. really shows how much he feels for his family
Ya
They didn't even deserve him.
It’s easy enough for him to face his problems and ask for forgiveness to have a roof over his head. People become to proud.
ikr his parents are messed up
Brought a couple tears to my eyes.. gotta be grateful for how y'all living, cause you never know how much you got until you see what someone doesn't.
What a sweetheart! His soul radiates gratitude. I hope he's doing well💞.
He seems like a good kid. He's parents need a beating.
*He's*
His*
He did something bad, it's on him
its easy to seem like a good kid. hes most likely was doing dumb shit thats why he got kicked out. so stfu you need a beating bitch
@@judetiangan7716 "his" lmfao go back to school moron
It’s usually the people who have absolutely no money or a home, that have the most loving and kind souls
Some of them.
Not really. Nothing to loose usually means the opposite. Maybe 1 out of 100 would be like this guy
Daniel hosking Dont think that’s really up for you to determine
@@uhhFez the same could be said about your original comment. All depends on what your personal experiences are
Not at my house
I don’t understand how people can give a thumbs down to this video. This videos are humbling and I feel so sad for these homeless people so how can people give this videos a thumbs down.
Poor kid. He seems to be very resilient and bright. I hope he found a path out of that world and is doing well now.
Listen to how he takes responsibility for his part in the “arguments” with his family at such a young age. This tells me that it’s not his fault. His parents wanted him out and blamed him. He’s just a kid 😢
Suck this d than
Cuz suck to be his family,but one day he become successful than stupid kick his son out the son...why they married birth son kick him...he doesnt do wrong
@@CedarTallman everyone is born with issues and what you said was a lazy argument
@@CedarTallman do you know what irony mean cause obviously you are not using it right
@@CedarTallman please learn the words... you use cause you are still using them wrong🤦🏽♂️
A lot of people cry and break down when they go homeless, this kid seemed to smile and embrace it. Being homeless is tough. Hope he’s doing well.
What? No being homeless gives you so much freedom and allows you to meet so many people and live life to the fullest. Not go to school then probably died 5 years later because you overloaded your brain with book learning words
carl J what are you on
@@krizzydrizzy4123 the same drugs that the homeless guy was on
@@carlj7466 stupid just stupid.......
It really bugs me people judge so easy before enjoying the fruits of life! Im at the library right now asking people for smokes and liquor and life couldn't be better :)
He looks like such a happy soul! I hope he gets all the help he needs 🤍 best wishes
It's amazes me how humble this kid is. He has more heart in him than 90% of the population. I hope great things happen for this kid.
Not Yo Daddy sometimes, you just gotta bring it
"3rd wish, I dont know man I'll probably give it to somebody"
This man deserves nothing but the best!
Yea man that tripped me out.who would ever even think to say that? Good man.
Yes, hopefully now he’s more grateful, kind hearted and not a brat anymore.
He's so adorable and light hearted...I hope wherever he is now he is happy
What a sweetheart. I never heard of anyone saying they'd give their third wish to someone else. God bless and protect him.
The sleeping under a cross at a church so God can watch over him and saying he’d give his third wish to someone has made me feel so sad and upset.
I pray to God this kid has a wonderful life ahead of him.
He didn’t even say once that he’s mad at his folks for the danger they’ve put him in, instead he wished they are ok.
What an absolute darling of a human being he is ❤️
Psalms121
I heard but you don’t kick a kid out, especially your own flesh and blood.
Talk it out and lay out the rules, hug and kiss your child and role over the next day.
If he had more issues then it’s the parents responsibility to go get help e.g counselling or brat camp or what ever.
Bottom line is you stick help and support your child not kick them out on to the dangerous world.
How can their parents sleep at night knowing their boy is alone on the streets trying to find a spot to to get some sleep.
At that age I’d be shitting my self with fear.
Just wrong, it’s just wrong
Psalms121
And??
Your point exactly??
Psalms121
Tell me what he said?
Psalms121
Oh right that makes sense.
Next time one of my kids are being disobedient I’ll chuck them out and put them in danger.
Instead of seeking help like brat camp or counselling I’ll just throw them out doors and let them fend for themselves.
Makes complete sense now Psalms
Psalms121
One word for you - DELUSIONAL
