- In Britain today one in four children grows up in poverty. Rapper turned documentary maker Professor Green (aka Stephen Manderson) has done well, but he grew up in a home where there was a lot of stress over money.
Here, Professor Green follows the story of 14-year-old Tyler, who has been living in cramped emergency accommodation for 18 months.

WHERE IS THE FATHER?! As Black men, we really let ourselves down in this department.
Lol. 1.) This guy only represents himself, not all black men.
2.) How about these women choose their men better. I see too many times women knowing a guy isn't father material yet still having kids with him then having the audacity to blame the guy when he chooses to forego fatherhood.
Not only black people..also white..my childs father doesnt give a shit about him. Its a male thing..more selfish
PaiN ExoTiC why does he get to forgo fatherhood? Moms don’t get to do that, especially facing severe judgment from anti Choicers.
@Miss Montana actually it's not, I live in a black city and almost everyone has their fathers. It's just that some of them are in jail that's all.
4Ts damn right. It’s in ur folks blood to be like that
£40 benefits to live on per week for 1 adult and two teenagers...that's crazy! I thought the British government would pay out more to these poor families.
Adam Leho What if there are no work available in her area. Also she needs to care and look after her children.
@@AdamLehodey because she has depression u dick head do you no what that does to people it can effect people in many different ways ur just very ignorant
Jahed Miah A foster kid in semi-independent living gets £57 per week and that’s mainly for food and “pocket money” but there is families like these who get £80 a fortnight....disgraceful and poor governments
@@georgelotter6654 OK so school clothes stuff to buy for school clothes for her kids electric bill gas bill council tax she will defo have to pay a service charge even if that's a 20 a month that's 20 a month you people must not live by your self or have kids because the real world is a tough place plus you have to pay TV licenses that's a fiver a week another 20 a month you lot are talking out of your ass maybe they need to stop giving money to these Muslims with so many kids and are system won't be broke
It’s a lie she gets more money
This is depressing, it just puts things in perspective on how much I take for granted in life. How much my father has given me and all the disrespect I have shown to those who love me when there are people like Taylor that haven’t had half what I’ve had😭😤
It's the mums fault for having kids with a man who doesn't pay his way 🧔🏿♂️
Let me clarify one thing- The fact that there is already an opportunity for people to get accommodation and food for free, it is amazing. community and country do care. whereas if they would live in other countries - they would starve on the streets
THANK YOU .
This kid has a strong head on his shoulder and is ridiculously brave. Looking out for his mum and just dealing with the situation instead of acting out. So much respect. I hope and pray that he continues with that strong head and makes something of himself!!
These comments about the woman living off the government because she is lazy is making me sick to my stomach , this attitude is exactly why many people are in this situation. We aren't in the bloody Victorian times , people aren't in this situation because of their actions , it's the circumstances they were born into . Show this family and the others like it some human compassion and maybe we'd progress as a society . We are one of the richest countries in the world and people literally get their meals from the food bank it's so heartbreaking 😩. Then people end up in a vicious cycle of poverty , and just so you people who aren't on benefits can still have the same struggles , so don't be so quick to judge people .
If one has 2 healthy hands, one can work, easy as that
Lil Lexus she had a chronic illness... you clearly did not watch the video
Not all illnesses are visible to the naked eye.
iv known many people that have stilled worked with chronic illnesses to help provide. Even the children could do certain amounts of work. my grandma still works with serious back issues and arthritis. Not really any excuse unless you are literally physically unable to walk or move. Just look at all the people living in poverty in 3rd world country, all of them have their own set of issues but they cant let that stop them from trying to provide.

We're spending millions on other countries when our own people are starving!
BeagleBagel they ain’t starving Tesco’s Sainsbury’s Asda and Morrison’s Marks & Spencer’s throw away thousands of kg of edible food daily, and you terrorised these other countries, aid is a front for wars and resource stealing
@@Truth2power5848 in modern world human is a main resource. They work and they buy.
@@Truth2power5848 I mean look at the immigrants. The world largest economies intervent other countries to create a disastrous life conditions and people move to a better countries to fill their economies. All politic decisions sponsored by trans national corporations.
That's true. You're basically spending millions on other countries in order to destabilize and destroy them. So you can look like a charitable country in a made up facade.
Its like that in every country, nothing new

She has enough money for cigarettes tho

She has depression

@@liliacolin5211 she would be less depressed if she got out of her house and worked. It would stop her from staying inside and over thinking and making herself more depressed.

Dealing I think
This is very sad! He’s a good kid man very confident and aware of his situation! He’s going to go far if he keeps that attitude and stays focus. It’s not going to be like this forever bro trust me.

That's true but she's also to blame for her situation. Depression is not a reason for not being able to work.
@@nomad9338 do you know how depression works?
Big up professor green for making a documentary poverty in the uk is very real and it’s so sad to watch this
Get rid of benefits for people that are able to work but refuse to and give it to families like this, these families don't deserve it. They're good people but in a rough situation.
> Get rid of benefits for people that are able to work What makes you think they haven't already?
What makes you think they haven't already?
They're getting rid of benefits or reducing benefits for people who can't even work, have you heard of the bullshit the Department for Work and Pensions has put people through. They've done what you said and they also did it to people who truly need the benefits.
@@yasinmiah3943 They just reduced benefits for everyone then and the taxes are still high as shit? Honestly inform me where is all of this money going?
What makes you think that people on benefits not working?
My mum also is single mum with 3 kids but when she lost her job in the shop she worked in factory 12hr a day too pay rent and she was also getting benefits even she is working. Prices of rent and taxes are the biggest problem. When council tax cost £130 a month alone. Gas*electricity*water* also about £170 a month. And finally rent £650pcm. So basically its impossible to survive without government help. (i also mentioned only basic bills. Didn't mention internet. Tv licence. Kids needs and etc.)
@@jacksparrowx1196 that's not what I ment, people that decide not to work while they are fully able to should not get benefits, it's like sitting down and taking the money from the person next to you while they work hard
Stephen you're such a powerful reporter you should get more into this and push this as a new career option you bring the real stories ....this must breaks me up thinking of families like this but you dont hear about it in the MSM
Makes you realise how blessed you are in life
Thankgod they were moved out of emergency accommodation and hopefully things are better for them. Thanks Professor Green for highlighting this plight. 👌🏾
This is so sad. I can’t stop crying 😢
THIS is why its better to suffer in silence because now everyne thinks they have the right to pick these people apart about what they are wearing. The mother is being trashed about how big she is, how lazy she is, her piercings and tattoos, even down to her hair dye. Just wow.
Agreed about 'suffering' in silence. It's difficult not to judge the mum when all the points you listed are helping to make sure she is never employed.
People breeding without ANY THOUGHT of what future that child may have. Me and my wife had one kid, both of us worked and there wasn't much money.
So breeding on benefits is INSANE.
Ikr lmao
Breeding pmsl. All the poorest in these cases have kids. All this because they've had too kids
Too many*
What I can't figure out is how does she only get £80 quid a fortnight I get £73 a week?!
But then where would all the future customer services employees come from? Are only the wealthy allowed to breed, is that what you are saying? Who would work our call centres and takeaways and cleaning jobs? If the poor stopped breeding, the rich would soon outnumber them and society would collapse. Isn't raising future citizens a worthwhile job?
Don't have kids untill you have a stable household and can afford them, it's simple
What a naive world view
honestly, how do you have this view on this world?

@@dexy28 Money makes the world go round, it's simple economics
@@WhosFaulty it's not always you're choice to have a kid
people say that the boys’ mother is lazy.. if you were sick and in that position what would you do? people are heartless.
Smart young man. Educate yourself and you'll go far. Good luck young lad.
I work 44 hrs a week I’m on a site for 48 hrs and next week I’ll be working 60 hrs and just waiting for the tax man to think way hay and I’m struggling to keep roof over my head it’s not just those That are not working it affects single people with no dependents!!!! Low wages and benefit caps are screwing us all over while the Tories live in glass houses with their millions 😡 however I’m surviving I’m struggling and all I have is my pride of no hand outs but it’s tough!!!!
think about it if you don't wanna pay taxes then no one else will which means there will be no taxes and if theres no taxes then theres no free medical help such as free treatment from NHS and there will be no wages fro doctors nurses and police force they won't have the technology to help catch criminals so then anyone and everyone would start committing crimes because they would get away with it easily and there will be no wages for teachers or money for school resources which means the education for kids around the country will need to be paid for you also have to think about leisure centres those are paid for by taxes and maintained by tax money also the roads and everything is relied on taxes so its either pay taxes or pays for your own medical help and treatment and pay for your own safety and your kids educations
Not saying I do not want to pay taxes but I do need to be able to live without struggling!! I’m working very long hrs well over full time standard hrs and I’m just surviving the more hrs I work to even be able to buy extras not luxuries I’m taxed even more if I work 60 hrs a day of my overtime is in tax mans hands!!! That’s £130 out of my pay that week!!
cant afford to buy food, but can afford to buy high quality branded clothes?
When did they buy it? After waiting to become poor?
they are most likely fakes. cheetham hill and similar places make it easy to get good quality knock offs for cheap. you never know
Did they buy it or was it a donation? Where in the video do you see the receipts?
@@pm79080 Who in the fuck would donate a armani t-shirt?
@@Beagle4Bagel A fake t-shirt; anyone.
She should be getting according to statistics in benefits £5800 or more a year given them about £15 quid a day to live off
Heart goes out to this kid, but he lives in the 1st world country so many legal ways to earn even at his age.
Lucky he has the food bank and ppl out there willing to donate. Good luck to him and his family
so rude how he goes there in a canada goose, have some respect fam
Fr wtf
they cant afford food yet both kids have jordans? XD
It could’ve been gifted to them🤦🏻♀️
@@Ih3artkarma the mum was working before she fell ill
People saying she is lazy or stuff like that never were in a situation that seemed to have no way out with two kids and being depressed. If you have strong depression you can't even get yourself to stand up. Just a barrier! So don't say that she is lazy if you don't know about her health status. And being poor sucks so be happy if you never were in this situation!

Thank you Professor Green
I wish the best for him. Good things can happen if he work hard and have his head with him.
I wanna hug them ❤️
Hugs back to you x
Don’t be ashamed do what you have to . You got to take shelter food . Take it thank god for it .
That kids on point, he will make it out.
Please dont buy drug. Look work you got litte money
just shut up have you lived in a estate everyone has mental iissue from abuse crime you might be middle class but trust me you wouldnt wont to see whaat ive seen know delete your s comment you need to find god and stop you wierdo
He is selling them
A nice stay in a retreat, some healthy food and exercise and a home with a job offer is all this family needs to get back on their feet.
I know a lot are saying that she’s sponging and that she should help herself, but that’s not how chronic depression works.
It’s a vicious cycle of illness, that effects absolutely everything in your life and sometimes it’s difficult just to put one foot out of bed.
Yes a lot of people with a bad back still go out to work and crawl themselves out of terrible situations, but this women just needs a help back up.
This is most probably years of stress that has resulted in this.
@Sarah and a heck of a lot more than that I can assure you! But people think they know the reasons why this, that and the other, let them, they do not know me or Tyler. Thank you.
God bless him❤️
If hes living in poverty why does he have an armani top on
I've lived off food banks when my benefits couldn't be sorted as they place I was crashing at, the staff didn't know what I was eligible for, had to leave home due to abuse at the age of 18, now I live in an ok environment and rent is so high that I only have £40 to live off for 2 weeks. I'd get a job but juggling college and my mental health, it's hard. People easily judge but just put yourself in the person shoes.
Esme Rose the longer you wait to get into work the less likely it will happen
Sorry about your situation tho
Esme Rose hope it gets better for you. ♥️
A non violent French Revolution is over due. It has nothing to do with laziness. Offer a livable wage, tech educational training and housing for all.
All that is available.
Those things would cost billions of pounds To install for all, and would drive up taxes for everyone also people are already supplied a lot of the things you listed
Non-violent, you say?
Tell us, Lamont, how we can achieve that with no violence.
@Introvert Outside You need to have a job to begin with.
Increasing the minimum wage means more unemployment, a higher wage means inflation will go up and the new minimum wage won't be enough, there is alot more factors than just 'pay more'
I Have to say it. black men NEED to be more serious about their relationships. Not all black men are unserious, but a good percentage are.

First of all I feel that I must say that to anyone who has been made redundant from work then I am very sorry about that, as it has happened to me and I know what you are going through. I am married, and I have a now grown up Son. I am well in to my 50's and have worked hard for all that I have, I began work at 16 in the construction industry and worked very hard to keep food on the table and pay the bills, as many people do. After working at the same company for almost 30 years I was made redundant, and was unemployed on two occasions. Since that time, I have found work and have eventually completed my mortgage. No one helped me to do this, I did this all alone. I see people on the streets begging when there is no need, they can go to the local council which must help them by law, by providing shelter and benefits until such time that these individuals can get a job. And even the councils do often offer them work to help them get on their feet, but for the most part this will require some commitment from them. Often they are not willing to agree to the offer from the council and they end up back on the street, which is their choice.
As for people on benefits, I have to ask myself why are they on benefits? If they are disabled then that is understandable, but many prefer to be out of work, as they get more in benefits than they would on the minimum wage. Surely if these people have been out of work for more than 3 Months then they should have to work picking up litter and cleaning graffiti from walls etc, if they do this than they can keep their benefits until such time as they find work for themselves, but it is morally wrong to live off other peoples tax payments. Welfare is for those who need help, and not those who can't be bothered to get off their backsides and go to work, especially as there are numerous jobs available at the moment. I hear people talk about food banks, well if people were to go to work then they would not need them, food has never been cheaper than it is at the moment, and food banks have been around for decades, they are not a new thing at all, but people could be forgiven for thinking that they are a new thing as no one spoke about them in the past. As for Poverty, well in the 1920's that meant not having a roof over your head, and not having decent clothing and food of any kind, but in the year 2018 when benefits are available, and shelter is provided if requested, then it means a different thing altogether. Poverty in 2018 is not the same as it was in the 1920's, today people class themselves as being in poverty if they do not have a TV. There is not a single person out there who could not do what I did, and get a job and care for themselves, they need to because I am sick of paying for the idle when they have the same tools as I have, I am not a professor, and I do not have a degree, but I have the will to pay my way in life, and I feel better for having done that, it is just a shame that I have had to pay for others when they could pay for themselves. I know people will reply with sob stories, but there is no excuse. morally we should either work, or receive nothing at all. As stated earlier, I am not including the disabled, or the mentally impaired, but as for Poverty, well compared to the past, there is no such thing today.
This is sad . Everyone is stressing . Beautiful family.
Whats great about this? Well you are getting food and shelter.Try getting this in most other countries ..... millions die of hunger every year.

Schools need to improve they need to give more opportunities to students motivate them more and guide them. The education system has become so hard now students are almost made to fail so they drop out or give up and just waste themselves. I think the education system has messed up big time.
i hope you paid that family and got them the help they need so bloody sad

Because you have kids, you are not in poverty.
Back problems is probably due to her front load going on.. Depression I've had that my whole life.. 2 kids later and 110kgs.. I've got all my qualifications and we are leaving our country to live life better in aus.. The only person who's is stopping her is herself..

Some of these comments are srsly so annoying, everyone's entitled to their own opinion and I respect that. But when ppl go as far as saying that everyone on benefits is lazy, I get rly aggravated. As someone who's from a family that relies on benefits, I can tell you that my parents are in no way lazy. Some illnesses aren't visible to the eye, and things like depression and anxiety can stop you from working efficiently. Some ppl who rely on benefits ARE lazy, and they make the majority of us look bad. Its sad that to this day, ppl are still living in poverty in the UK, and its never as easy as 'just getting a job'.
How are they doing now?
I pray to god the little boy Tyler and hes best friend get help ...
Like seriously some one help them .
This country should look after their own first and then worry about wars
Why is the mother shouldering the burden alone, too easy for 'fathers' to walk.
Prayers go to this family

anyone ever wonder if professor green gave them money?
No, he never
He be wearing all designer emporio Armani and glorious gangsta
Exactly. Don't bully becuase people like him are living on the edge financially,bullying can lead to suicide.
Tyler looks like the chicken connoisseur
This is the thing around 2005 onwards so many women that slept around and made very bad decisions expected the rest of Britain to pay for their countless children. Surely before you have kids you should think if you can provide for them or not. I don't see how this is the responsibility of the rest of the country to pay for your kids. It is a disgrace.
Kay Jay could not possibility agree with you more. Bad back and depression!?!? She could be doing some firm if work. And as for her bad back there was nothing wrong with it when she made those three kids, l am sure you get my meaning???

Im from a third word country and people from my country go to Britain to work they say there are plenty of working places. If you live in Britain and have no money for food you are a junkie. And its your life choice don't blame others for that

What I don't understand is the mum is poor yet she has all these tattoos and seems to look like she eats well? If you cannot afford food then how can you afford to get tats? I see this over and over again.
Not just tatts l think but the wider problem is most of the have the money for drink and ciggies! !!!

There is one golden rule we all should follow. Don't wait for anyone to give you what you need, do your best to get it yourself. I sympathise with the boy, but I think that his mom is not the best role model here.
She has chronic depression AND back pain and can't work. Did you not watch the video? There's not much she can do.
Where did she say she was waiting? I think I missed that part of the video.
@@kamisemire So what are you suggesting? She should stay as she is or maybe try to get some help, her depression is most likely connected with the financial situation and every day troubles she's facing. Back pain? Maybe loose a bit of weighy, pain medicine also exists, see a doctor, try to look for a job that doesn't put a strain on your back. It's not impossible. What she needs is a change of attitude.
@@pm79080 Obviously she is waiting for a bigger council house, nothing wrong with that but some people rely on government aid without even considering they might get a better live if they step it up. Nothing against this lady, I think she needs a motivation or someone who would point her in a right direction. All I am saying is that these days people who are poor stay poor, if they rely on benefits only.
@@missmesserschmitt4526 Yep, if she can sit around in her house all day she can get a job as a receptionist or something. Back pain cannot be proved, lots of people lie saying they have chronic pain just to get benefits
Greece was in crisis for years, we never had these kind of problems. Even if you earn the lowest salary 550 EUR NET you can rent a normal appartment (With 200 EUR) and have a normal life. Sometimes Greek people go to London to work because it is overestimated. Finally they end up to live 2 - 3 ppl in the same appartment because the rents are crazy, and ofcourse they go back to Greece to have a low salary but at least to live as human beings. Unfortunately, London, and in general UK is not as what it used to be before 30 years. Rent prices compared to net salary are imbalanced. There should be a ceiling
I feel so bad for theses kids 🤦♀️
