This young man is broken. You can see it in his eyes and hear his words. This is heartbreaking to know these children were let down from parents and the system. Hopefully they’re both able to get themselves clean.
Dear God, please help this young man and his girlfriend get out of this lifestyle. Please let someone come across their path to witness your love to them. In Jesus's name. Amen
Out of all the interviews I’ve watched this has got to be the most heart breaking one. Im 21 and complain about shit going on in my life but seeing this definitely makes me more grateful for my problems. I really hope he gets better. Sad world
I'm 22, and complain about my job every day, but still get up at 530 every morning. Watching these makes me greatful. A lot of us really don't know how good we have it.
I used to work for the state. We handled all Medicaid, food stamps, CPS, etc. His story is extremely common for those in the foster care system. Majority of people adopting these kids would only be for the checks. One they got to be an adult they would immediately be thrown out and that 18 year old would be in our offices asking for help. Such a cruel system. My heart goes out to this kid but there's fight in him. I can definitely see him getting back on his feet. Stay up kid, don't let those pigs grind you down. God bless.
If you worked for the state, you know that foster care isn’t the same as adopting. You also know that people who work for the state decide who becomes foster parents, and who adopts. Kids in foster care in most states age out and lose their foster homes, even while they’re still in high school.

Broke my heart when he said he comes back with the money and his girlfriend is happy and smiling, but he’s broken inside and feels like he lost his manhood due to the things he had to agree to do in exchange for some funds. Just sad you can see how much he’s putting himself through to support the both of them on the row 😕
Mark I hope you can keep tabs on these two special souls - they are precious - there is so much sincerity in his heart it seems - hope is not lost - keeping them in my prayers

Don't let yourself get stuck in that time. The circumstances we are in are a moment in time. We can take them, learn from them, grow from them and use them to strive to be the best version of ourself today and tomorrow. Don't let it define you. So many of us become stuck in our tragedies and they keep us from moving forward. Transcend the pain and hardship. The choices and decisions from yesterday don't have to be the ones we make tomorrow. This goes for all people who aren't proud of decisions, choices, or circumstances put upon us. Good luck to you and hugs.
Your tears are not stupid. Everyone hurts and cries. It is a way of releasing pain or whatever the case may be. I pray things are better for you in Jesus' name. Amen.
@@crimsonJerom I forgot to add that I did sex work AND I worked at a warehouse full time (FedEx package handler) and I was a part time student in community college. This is all behind me as now I have my own cleaning business now all thanks to the help of my mothers church and god himself of course. It’s small, but with the contracts I have with small companies around me and even with some clients having my people and me clean their homes, I’m able to provide for everyone.

@subtomypage If it were that easy, we wouldn't have addiction issues. (With all kinds of issues) Most people get hooked simply from being prescribed opiates from a Dr. You're on the wrong channel if you are here to judge these people dude.
This broke my heart into so many pieces. He never even had a real chance at life 💔 He deserves so much better. What a sweet guy. God bless him. I am praying so heavily for you Angel. We have to get him proper help along with his partner and baby.
I'm only half way through but have to say he seems to have a heart of gold for someone who has endured such soul destroying events. I hope he can pull himself and his wee family out of this and enjoy the life he deserves.
My God. This is one of the hardest ones to listen to for me ever. Imagining a person taking advantage of this guy in those ways instead of just giving him money or help or whatever out of the kindness of their heart.... We live amongst real monsters.
They are not taking advantage of the guy he's offering a service they paying him simple as that same for female prostitutes I'm sure half of them do t like doing it either moral of story is drugs make people do things they do t want to do because the getting high feeling out weighs any thing else even self respect
God and the devil are almost indecipherable in this world. Good and evil are not separate from one another. They are part of the same system. We must embrace them both or lose them both. This young man can create better days in his future if he chooses to do so. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to break the negative spiral patterns that we have grown accustomed to, especially if we lack awareness of being in such patterns. He could realize that he is in such a pattern, and then turn around and focus on consciously choosing a new pattern, but it is hard. Resistance is the source of all suffering. Only by choosing to allow himself to heal and then taking steps toward healing, will the pattern ever break. I pray that he finds awareness and chooses a path toward healing. I pray that he finds the strength to believe that he is worthy of redemption, and that he deserves better.
@@ultraultra6726 I agree strongly with everything you said except the first sentence. While being part of deal we're faced with in life, (embrace or lose both), the two are as decipherable as heads is from tails. As in you'd never even once mistake one for the other unless there were something wrong with you. I suppose that's the non-moral relativist point of view, but I think it's less potentially dangerous to never mistake the two, or do your best not to anyway.
@@RichardOrchard-ih2rx you haven't yet recognized the truth; there is but one, and you are part of it. Nothing is separate from god. Everything in creation, or rather, that has been created, is part of its source. If it isn't part of the source of everything, then it doesn't exist. Does the devil exist? If so, it is not separate from that which it is made from... there is only one. Ik onkar.
I find this one of the most heart-breaking interviews to watch ~ Not sure why they feel compelled to keep this child - focus on getting yourselves to a better place.
@@JuggernautKickboxing Their morals aren't in the right order though. (Parent-up and keep the baby=good morals, sure...but being homeless, doing drugs and all that other BS that comes with it is not good morals at all...and to bring a child into that? Damn) that's just bad. See what I'm saying?
@@JuggernautKickboxing the child will be born addicted to drugs right out of the gate, conditions for childbirth likely not optimal and while in the womb the stress and turmoil of the mother's surroundings will impact the baby even before birth. Then, the child ends up in foster care and the generational trauma continues .... IMHO a really low score on morality. And what is so heart-breaking is that he really has a decent and kind soul.
Despite all he has been through. You can tell he has a big heart. The way he empathizes with people using pipes without knowing that it's filled with deadly fentanyl, and his deceased friends. Not to mention he took care of his mother who was also an addict. You are only 21, bless your heart. Get out of this and break the cycle, you are to become a dad. All the best, prayers from Hong Kong.
Damn, This was a real interview. Angel you are very strong and very articulate. You will get through this man. The Courage and vulnerability in the video is very commendable.
That's so sad! The only moments he spent with his mom, when they laughed and felt a connection, they were doing drugs, and yet he cherishes these memories like the most precious of his whole life. I feel for this lost soul so much, he must have gone through hell: prostitution, violence, loneliness. Heartbreaking
I don't think a baby is the answer. I never heard of anyone who can't move at 2 months pregnant, going to the bathroom on themselves. Another baby brought into addiction on the streets is a heartbreaking scenario.
@@johndeane5864 well I hope you or anyone you love are never touched by the illness of addiction. That's when you'll come to realise that willpower has nothing to do with it.
They're absolutely not ready. Not only are they homeless and addicts, they are selling themselves out. They are living the highest risk life out there... We can only hope they use this pregnancy as a way out. But, unfortunately they're two months in and nothing as changed whatsoever... Devine intervention is what is needed...
So many strikes against both of them ... why bring a child into such a difficult situation? You can be a good person and still be an addict who makes really bad descions. A child is not going to fix your problems or relationship. Very sad situation.
Being pregnant with my first son, this breaks my heart. He is so broken and just wants to do better but no one was there for him. I hope he gets the break he needs and finds a way out. I couldn’t imagine having my son live the life he is, it would kill me inside.
Well she’s not that dumb, not to use a condom while having sex with total strangers who carry diseases, if she’s that dumb then she’s a retard for sure
I feel rly sorry for the dude, but i just can`t help it to feel more sorry for the child thats on its way into life. A blank pure soul ready to learn and explore the big world 😢I wish the best for that child 💫

Angel b you are more of a man then most people I have ever met. The fact you suffer for her is one of the most manliest reasons to do what you feel is the only way right now is what matters. Your intention is a resolve of the highest honors. You have a beautiful heart and I want to thank you for being brave and telling your story. Your honesty speaks volumes. God's speed to you friend, may he bless you and your loved ones. Big hugs from Oregon!
What's sad about junkie couples is the chance of both of them getting clean and staying in love is close to zero. Hope for the best for both of them and their baby
😥 Mark, this is hands down, the most painful story on this channel lve seen . I really hope Angel makes it out alive . Please stay in touch with Angel & keep us updated 😥 Mark you have a heart of gold for sharing these people's stories 🏆
Man, Angel breaks my heart. I haven't watched the interview with his girlfriend, yet, but I'm guessing she didn't have anyone to teach her how life should be. I'm sure neither one of them are at all prepared to take care of an innocent little baby. It rips me to pieces to see Angel obviously feeling love for his child and his girl friend and a desire to care for both of them when he literally has no idea how to do either of those things. Life is so unfair. I hope and pray somehow, someway, Angel and his girlfriend and their unborn child escape this life on the streets and the drugs that hold them prisoner. 😔 Thank you for doing these interviews, Mark. I'm curious if you feel safe when youre conducting these interviews. Do you have a way of protecting yourself? Have you ever had to defend yourself or been harmed?
@@cherrygirl64oh go away seriously. If you don't like the way he conducts his interviews don't listen. I felt there was incredible banter both ways so I don't know what you were listening to .😠
Not all pregnancies are lost. However gotta agree with cherrygirl...Mark has a tendency to advise the drug addicts even though he has no personal experience with drugs himself, but then he sympathizes, agrees with and sometimes appears to rationalize prostitution as therapy when interviewing escorts and "higher end" prostitutes.
Takes me back to working as an emergency nurse in Oakland, California. The first intravenous (IV, shooting up, needle users) heroin user I met in Oakland was 8 weeks pregnant. Idk If she kept the baby. She was going to carry the entire pregnancy though. She was a beautiful, blonde, blue eyed, slim & 5 feet 10 inches tall, 20 years old. I hope neither of them die before the baby arrives. Mark Laita, you are an "earth angel". Thanks for all that you do. 😍💖😊
I've helped a few of these Kids out & often thought about taking one into my home and always know they were never going to get better. This ones diffrent he still has a soul I'd take him on in a second
Very real interview..the way he describes taking the only type of relationship with his mom that he could get, even if it was bad. would love to see more follow up on them
Sorry darlin’ but your girlfriend should not be having a child while on drugs and turning tricks. It's just not fair to bring a child into this world with two addicted parents. Please reconsider! 🤦♀️
Such a heartbreaking situation all the way around... the addiction, the prostitution, the pregnancy and what that child will be put through. I sure hope they can get clean and have the life they all deserve. I'll be praying for them.
The state will take that baby immediately!!!! And in this case it’s more than needed !! No home and both on drugs with no jobs ! And they don’t even know the state WILL take that baby ! The baby is going to suffer the most for these to selfish addicts ! Ever hear a crack baby scream ? Cuz that’s what they do !
I watch these videos & count my blessings.. These folks, they're the bottom of the barrel & society has given up on them. Everything looks better when i see people like this guy.
@@TheScotian82some people are blessed with choices that other people aren't. Counting blessings should always be encouraged. The human spirit is resilient, and everyone is worthy of redemption.
My childhood was very dysfunctional. However, I must credit my parents for the fact that neither ever had a drink, neither ever smoked and they never did any type of drug. That clearly gave me an advantage over most.
“If we want to change it we have to understand it” - Mark Latia. 💯 I’m almost 2 years clean off Fentanyl… I did it silently by myself & only after that my family started to talk to me again. It really does have a lot to do with the person wanting to quit for themselves, but I could only imagine how hard it is in the US without free healthcare… what Mark has to say is very accurate & I appreciate his honesty & perception… ❤
If you don't seek help for yourself, your life will never change for the good. Angel, things will get worse and you will keep doing things that are " in your own words " disgusting ! You can't make logical decisions while you're using. I'm not judging you Bro at all, I want to see you clean and sober with a job, then and only then, you can take care of your girl and baby. You will respect yourself. Your baby deserves to have stable parents, with a roof and four walls. I truly feel for you dude !!! Both of you need to get help! Please ....
His story breaks my heart. there needs to be so much more help out there for these young adults, especially coming from the foster system that’s so corrupt and so broken and it’s the biggest cause for people to end up this way. I pray for him and his girlfriend..
His child will go into the system...and then that child's child will go into the system...and so it goes...our foster system is getting bigger and bigger and worse and worse....this man deserves to be saved.
God, please protect their baby. Surround your love and healing over this child in every way. Show their parents that they have value, purpose and potential and help heal them turn around as a unit, as a family. You guys can do this, we ALL believe it is possible.
Mark please put as much time, energy, and love, into Angel and Jayda as you do Rebecca, they need help its so fortunate you found such beautiful soul in so much pain and are able to support them
Is this young man not a perfect example of the flaws of the system that is supposedly designed to help them. There is so much this young man could have achieved if the support was given. He lives in an ugly world yet he shines with love and integrity- more than the glossy red carpets in Hollywood could ever achieve. Good luck to him and his partner.
some people should not procreate! the amount of contradictions coming from this man is evidence of no clear intent beyond that next drug fix. In the end nothing else matters.
He’s so beautiful to look at and soft I really hope that he find his way out. If you read this, just know that you’re still a man and you’re still worthy you’re just in a desperate situation at the moment, but you can always get out and get away.
I’ve known bro since middle school he had a great life growing up had every toy was grandmas baby he can change his life around if he really set his mind to it but it’s his choice to be out there he got support his pride holding him back I pray he changes his life around he was a good kid … breaks my heart watching this risk …
Oh buddy, I really feel for ya. I got off the fentanyl, meth, heroin, and methadone 2yrs ago. Your life can be soooo much better, believe me. It doesn’t have to be a struggle like this every day for you. Go and get yourself checked in somewhere and get yourself clean. You will look back at this time and wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. Trust me, life is so much better now. I’m outa the game. No more fuckers trying to hurt me or rip me off. I moved out of the hood, adopted a dog and life is a hell of a lot better. You can do it!! ☮️ ❤️
Strange relationship. She is pregnant? She turns tricks? He turns tricks? WTH? For drugs... What kind of "relationship" are they trying to have? Not a good time for them to start a family.
It can get real lonely on the streets. These two found eachother because they have a common bond from similar upbringings. Please don’t judge them. They have eachother to love and to hold, something many on the street do not have.
Mister Big brain over here, ofc it’s not ideal for them but they’re addicts living on streets, why are you expecting them to have a normal sorted out life
The depth of this goes so far beyond anything we can touch here... As someone who has experience with addiction I can say definitively go to rehab! It's your only and I mean ONLY WAY UP from where you are... Don't bring another life into your hell... Real love means putting another before yourself doing that right thing wether you want to or not. And fyi being sick for a minute won't kill you but not doing it will be the death of that child.
I wanted to try to say something but couldn't figure out how to say it with compassion. I think you nailed it. He's stuck in the fallacy that he has to do things, and when you're there, it 100% seems real. When he said that he was going to get a job but not quit using it just highlighted that everything he sees as a problem in his life is actually just symptoms of THE actual problem. He doesn't have a money problem.
She is prostituting using drugs and is pregnant……and he is doing the same . They creaky can’t take care of themselves and yet want to bring in a new life , this is so unfair to the child. U should not have the right to have a child if you can’t provide for the child.
My heart is broken for this young man. If his foster parents did that to him, shame on them!!!! And to his mother too!!! He had the odds stacked against him. Angel, I am praying for you and Jayda!!!
I wish Mark would pull up a bunch of pictures of what happens to babies when they're born while their mothers are using. I don't understand. I'm so confused about the whole baby thing like please do not have that baby. Sorry if this gets me yelled at but come on.
What a soul. What a beautiful soul. Get off the streets darling heart and dream..you can do anything and be anything you want to be. Be all that you can for your baby, give them all the love you wish you had and don’t look back. The fact the world has not taken your soul is remarkable. Use it! God bless!
I feel for him and his girlfriend. But at the risk of sounding judgy, they shouldn't have a child. That's just irresponsible and selfish. At least not until they're both completely clean and off the street. They're dooming that child from day one, and it's highly likely that he or she will be born with many health issues and a low chance at survival. So sad. I really hope the best for them and that they get help.
I don’t think you sound judgy at all. While everyone is sympathetic, some even empathetic, to their situation, no one can deny the fact that at this moment in both of their lives they are unfit to be parents. If mom does not stop using baby will be born addicted, with no stable housing, unstable parents & will have no choice but to enter into the system. It genuinely breaks my heart & both him and his gf are kind hearted people who are unfortunately battling addiction. but their main focus should 100% be getting clean for themselves individually, and gaining some stability before bringing a child into this world. It breaks my heart to say this, but the strongest act of love they can do for the child is to not bring it into this world right now.
Angel you got this! Being sober is amazing. Just have to confront your demons first! ( therapy helped me so much) can’t wait to see you back on the channel sober.
I live in Arizona and I am sincerely offering you help. I would love to care for your baby while you and your girlfriend get clean. Please dont bring a child into this chaos. Please take help. You can recover. You need help, though. It's amazing how people can turn around with the right support systems. You can do this. Praying for your family to overcome.
It makes me sad to see someone broken like him, but it horrifies me that they are drug addicts who will become parents. What hope does their kid even has under all these substances? It's a sin and crime to abuse someone in womb with drugs, there should be more serious regulations about that.
My biggest fear is for this unborn child. She is using drugs while pregnant. Prostituting while pregnant as well. How do we know the paternity for certain? This baby isn't asking to come into this. Man......I ask the universe to protect the cycle from continuing with a baby. Someone needs to intervene in regards to the baby. He's a gentle soul but being a parent is the hardest thing you will ever do. xoxo
Do not have that baby man. Please consider what you can actually do for them and if they’re gonna have a better life than you. I can’t understand how people in these conditions have the courage to put another life on earth just to suffer.
that’s a very good question I’m sure she’s having unprotected sex hopefully they don’t get hiv this is a heartbreaking story hopefully they can get their life together before it’s to late 🙏🏼
When it comes to addiction, one thing I've learned (as a former addict myself) is that we can't expect people to change or get sober because we want them to. Our expectations are just that - ours. And we have to remember that they are under no obligation to fulfill them. Money, food, clothes, or shelter are one thing, but it doesn't really help get to the root of whatever the problem is. However, having good people around you can. Sometimes, even offering a different perspective can lead someone to change their mind, and that can lead them to wanting to change their life. For me personally, meaningful, healthy, and solid relationships with good people can make a WORLD of difference.
Oh my goodness Mark. This story made me cry. They are children lost in addiction. Now she is pregnant another child going into the system. I feel so terrible for them both. I am a mom.
Any honest job is respectable. I think you can work 2 jobs with your youthfull energy. Direct your anger to a positive change . My son is suffering addiction he hasn't been able to keep job. I think you are so so so handsome and personable . You deserve better I know you can do better. I hope you follow up so I can receive the good news. Don't give up it's worth it to be honest and humble. I also wait for my son to one day call me with good news.

They are not taking advantage of the guy he's offering a service they paying him simple as that same for female prostitutes I'm sure half of them do t like doing it either moral of story is drugs make people do things they do t want to do because the getting high feeling out weighs any thing else even self respect
God and the devil are almost indecipherable in this world. Good and evil are not separate from one another. They are part of the same system. We must embrace them both or lose them both. This young man can create better days in his future if he chooses to do so. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to break the negative spiral patterns that we have grown accustomed to, especially if we lack awareness of being in such patterns. He could realize that he is in such a pattern, and then turn around and focus on consciously choosing a new pattern, but it is hard. Resistance is the source of all suffering. Only by choosing to allow himself to heal and then taking steps toward healing, will the pattern ever break. I pray that he finds awareness and chooses a path toward healing. I pray that he finds the strength to believe that he is worthy of redemption, and that he deserves better.
@@ultraultra6726 I agree strongly with everything you said except the first sentence. While being part of deal we're faced with in life, (embrace or lose both), the two are as decipherable as heads is from tails. As in you'd never even once mistake one for the other unless there were something wrong with you. I suppose that's the non-moral relativist point of view, but I think it's less potentially dangerous to never mistake the two, or do your best not to anyway.
@@RichardOrchard-ih2rx you haven't yet recognized the truth; there is but one, and you are part of it. Nothing is separate from god. Everything in creation, or rather, that has been created, is part of its source. If it isn't part of the source of everything, then it doesn't exist. Does the devil exist? If so, it is not separate from that which it is made from... there is only one. Ik onkar.
What a sweet kind hearted man. His story makes me so sad. He deserves much better in life.
You can see the pain in his eyes. I wish the best to both of them
This kid has an amazing soul and his story is heartbreaking yet inspiring.
This is beyond heartbreaking.
Andgaaaay
I find this one of the most heart-breaking interviews to watch ~ Not sure why they feel compelled to keep this child - focus on getting yourselves to a better place.
Because they have morals
@@JuggernautKickboxing
Their morals aren't in the right order though. (Parent-up and keep the baby=good morals, sure...but being homeless, doing drugs and all that other BS that comes with it is not good morals at all...and to bring a child into that? Damn) that's just bad. See what I'm saying?
@@JuggernautKickboxing the child will be born addicted to drugs right out of the gate, conditions for childbirth likely not optimal and while in the womb the stress and turmoil of the mother's surroundings will impact the baby even before birth. Then, the child ends up in foster care and the generational trauma continues .... IMHO a really low score on morality. And what is so heart-breaking is that he really has a decent and kind soul.
Having a child? It will have no chance, born a junkie to junkies. Sad all round but there’s no way they can have this child ☹️
@@JuggernautKickboxingyes this
This dude needs a chance at life. He deserves it.
He has morals in my opinion and it's eating him up that he has to do these things.
Doing drugs sukn weenies gettn homeless girls prego no job no home no morals
Despite all he has been through. You can tell he has a big heart. The way he empathizes with people using pipes without knowing that it's filled with deadly fentanyl, and his deceased friends. Not to mention he took care of his mother who was also an addict. You are only 21, bless your heart. Get out of this and break the cycle, you are to become a dad. All the best, prayers from Hong Kong.
Damn, This was a real interview. Angel you are very strong and very articulate. You will get through this man. The Courage and vulnerability in the video is very commendable.
That's so sad! The only moments he spent with his mom, when they laughed and felt a connection, they were doing drugs, and yet he cherishes these memories like the most precious of his whole life. I feel for this lost soul so much, he must have gone through hell: prostitution, violence, loneliness. Heartbreaking
I don't think a baby is the answer. I never heard of anyone who can't move at 2 months pregnant, going to the bathroom on themselves. Another baby brought into addiction on the streets is a heartbreaking scenario.
Yes, something is very wrong here
I thought I misheard. She needs to go to the emergency room. Prob scared they'll find drugs in her system. I feel for the innocent baby ❤️🩹
I find it wild that someone can get arrested for weed in the US, but you can be pregnant and smoking crack and not face any consequences.
It's about who get caught
So you think a person should face consequences for being sick? No one should be getting arrested for weed or any drug. They need treatment not jail.
@@ruk2111 most of them people don’t want to get well
@@johndeane5864 well I hope you or anyone you love are never touched by the illness of addiction. That's when you'll come to realise that willpower has nothing to do with it.
Once Angel’s girlfriend has the baby, CPS will take the baby, that will be an eye opener to get them to seek help.
we can only hope CPS takes the baby.
They're absolutely not ready. Not only are they homeless and addicts, they are selling themselves out. They are living the highest risk life out there... We can only hope they use this pregnancy as a way out. But, unfortunately they're two months in and nothing as changed whatsoever... Devine intervention is what is needed...
Yeah right, they won’t give a shit that the baby is gone 😂 they’ll just continue using and forget that baby was ever born
So many strikes against both of them ... why bring a child into such a difficult situation? You can be a good person and still be an addict who makes really bad descions. A child is not going to fix your problems or relationship. Very sad situation.
Being pregnant with my first son, this breaks my heart. He is so broken and just wants to do better but no one was there for him. I hope he gets the break he needs and finds a way out. I couldn’t imagine having my son live the life he is, it would kill me inside.
It is so sad to see a new born baby suffering from drug withdrawal. Please get help for both of you and the baby. Praying for both of you!
if she's prostituting herself, how does he know the child is his? This makes me so sad..
I had the same thought
my 1st thought but he needs to believe it is his baby. i get it.
Well she’s not that dumb, not to use a condom while having sex with total strangers who carry diseases, if she’s that dumb then she’s a retard for sure
prostitutes don’t fk raw… that should be common sense
I feel rly sorry for the dude, but i just can`t help it to feel more sorry for the child thats on its way into life. A blank pure soul ready to learn and explore the big world 😢I wish the best for that child 💫
God bless his heart. May you break free from the drugs and the sexual exploitation
Seems like God’s not in the picture
@jakestevens3788 maybe God's a tad busy working on you too. I know he'll make his way to Angel B 😇
@@jakestevens3788um God gives us free will. Grow up... Your bad choices have nothing to do with God. How is what you're choosing to do God's fault? Let me guess, you blame everything you choose to do on mommy and daddy, too?... God said be of sober mind for a reason. That was God's help, and you choose to accept it or not..
@@jakestevens3788God gives us free will... What you choose to do is not God's fault. God said be of sober mind and not to mess with that stuff. That was God's help. If you don't accept the help, that's on you.... God will help if you totally reject it, but will you is the question.... Everything isn't God's fault, or mommy's, or daddy's or the teacher's.. these are full grown adults who were fully aware of possible addiction before trying it..
Angel b you are more of a man then most people I have ever met. The fact you suffer for her is one of the most manliest reasons to do what you feel is the only way right now is what matters. Your intention is a resolve of the highest honors. You have a beautiful heart and I want to thank you for being brave and telling your story. Your honesty speaks volumes. God's speed to you friend, may he bless you and your loved ones. Big hugs from Oregon!
No he's not a man not sukn another man weenie to support a kid that probably ain't his I assure u u she selln herself raw tooo for 20 extra lol
I really hope that they see that a baby cannot survive in a healthy way with parents who are addicts. I hope that find peace and get sober
Don't have the baby ! Wait until your girl and you sober up
Please don't raise the baby on the streets and on drugs.
The hospital will not allow them to leave with the baby
This video brought me to tears. Angel, there is a beautiful life ahead of you. I know you can overcome this.
That's sickening that the baby is likely to be born addicted to crack, and have birth defects and health problems.
What's sad about junkie couples is the chance of both of them getting clean and staying in love is close to zero. Hope for the best for both of them and their baby
Won't b together n 3yrs he sukn weenies for nothn
😥 Mark, this is hands down, the most painful story on this channel lve seen . I really hope Angel makes it out alive . Please stay in touch with Angel & keep us updated 😥 Mark you have a heart of gold for sharing these people's stories 🏆
Man, Angel breaks my heart. I haven't watched the interview with his girlfriend, yet, but I'm guessing she didn't have anyone to teach her how life should be. I'm sure neither one of them are at all prepared to take care of an innocent little baby. It rips me to pieces to see Angel obviously feeling love for his child and his girl friend and a desire to care for both of them when he literally has no idea how to do either of those things. Life is so unfair. I hope and pray somehow, someway, Angel and his girlfriend and their unborn child escape this life on the streets and the drugs that hold them prisoner. 😔
Thank you for doing these interviews, Mark. I'm curious if you feel safe when youre conducting these interviews. Do you have a way of protecting yourself? Have you ever had to defend yourself or been harmed?
100% of these skid row pregnancies are lost.
Mark, stop talking over this kid like you have all the answers.
@@cherrygirl64oh go away seriously. If you don't like the way he conducts his interviews don't listen. I felt there was incredible banter both ways so I don't know what you were listening to .😠
@@ozgal6929INDEED 💙🌎
@@cherrygirl64You’re a feisty one I see.
Not all pregnancies are lost. However gotta agree with cherrygirl...Mark has a tendency to advise the drug addicts even though he has no personal experience with drugs himself, but then he sympathizes, agrees with and sometimes appears to rationalize prostitution as therapy when interviewing escorts and "higher end" prostitutes.
What an absolute car crash of a situation man. Do not bring a child into this
Takes me back to working as an emergency nurse in Oakland, California. The first intravenous (IV, shooting up, needle users) heroin user I met in Oakland was 8 weeks pregnant. Idk If she kept the baby. She was going to carry the entire pregnancy though. She was a beautiful, blonde, blue eyed, slim & 5 feet 10 inches tall, 20 years old. I hope neither of them die before the baby arrives. Mark Laita, you are an "earth angel". Thanks for all that you do. 😍💖😊
I've helped a few of these Kids out & often thought about taking one into my home and always know they were never going to get better.
This ones diffrent he still has a soul I'd take him on in a second
Go find him! Otherwise the words you wrote are just that, words.
❤️
Very real interview..the way he describes taking the only type of relationship with his mom that he could get, even if it was bad. would love to see more follow up on them
Sorry darlin’ but your girlfriend should not be having a child while on drugs and turning tricks. It's just not fair to bring a child into this world with two addicted parents. Please reconsider! 🤦♀️
This interview was RAW with a lot of honesty ❤
Such a heartbreaking situation all the way around... the addiction, the prostitution, the pregnancy and what that child will be put through. I sure hope they can get clean and have the life they all deserve. I'll be praying for them.
The state will take that baby immediately!!!! And in this case it’s more than needed !! No home and both on drugs with no jobs ! And they don’t even know the state WILL take that baby ! The baby is going to suffer the most for these to selfish addicts ! Ever hear a crack baby scream ? Cuz that’s what they do !
@@leanneadams2549 as they should
Angel, 7 months can pass very quickly. Please get clean both, do it for you child!!!!Love from Spain.
Ugh this broke my heart.. I wish he knew how much better life can be when you’re sober.

Horrible that someone can carry a child and still smoke crack 😢
I watch these videos & count my blessings..
These folks, they're the bottom of the barrel & society has given up on them.
Everything looks better when i see people like this guy.
blessings? its called decisions.
Everything looks better when i see people like this guy. 'May u explain wat u mean by that plz?
@@TheScotian82some people are blessed with choices that other people aren't. Counting blessings should always be encouraged. The human spirit is resilient, and everyone is worthy of redemption.
My childhood was very dysfunctional. However, I must credit my parents for the fact that neither ever had a drink, neither ever smoked and they never did any type of drug. That clearly gave me an advantage over most.
“If we want to change it we have to understand it” - Mark Latia. 💯 I’m almost 2 years clean off Fentanyl… I did it silently by myself & only after that my family started to talk to me again. It really does have a lot to do with the person wanting to quit for themselves, but I could only imagine how hard it is in the US without free healthcare… what Mark has to say is very accurate & I appreciate his honesty & perception… ❤
If you don't seek help for yourself, your life will never change for the good. Angel, things will get worse and you will keep doing things that are " in your own words " disgusting ! You can't make logical decisions while you're using. I'm not judging you Bro at all, I want to see you clean and sober with a job, then and only then, you can take care of your girl and baby. You will respect yourself. Your baby deserves to have stable parents, with a roof and four walls. I truly feel for you dude !!! Both of you need to get help! Please ....
Yes. He frames it that he HAS to do these things, he's missing the bigger picture
His story breaks my heart. there needs to be so much more help out there for these young adults, especially coming from the foster system that’s so corrupt and so broken and it’s the biggest cause for people to end up this way. I pray for him and his girlfriend..
They choose drugs nobody else fault nobody needs to help him not get a woman prego homeless thats common sense
You are not ready to bring a child in this world.
Feel sorry for that kid in the belly
The way he describes his girlfriend, that poor child won’t make it to term.
@@baublesanddollsthat would b way better for that fetus
His child will go into the system...and then that child's child will go into the system...and so it goes...our foster system is getting bigger and bigger and worse and worse....this man deserves to be saved.
So true. Thats the reality in my community. No role models around for the kids to look up to. Everyone just becomes a statistic.
God, please protect their baby. Surround your love and healing over this child in every way. Show their parents that they have value, purpose and potential and help heal them turn around as a unit, as a family. You guys can do this, we ALL believe it is possible.
Mark please put as much time, energy, and love, into Angel and Jayda as you do Rebecca, they need help its so fortunate you found such beautiful soul in so much pain and are able to support them
This is so hard to watch. Sorry you’re in this place Angel. I hope you all can find a way out of this cycle Brother…..
this is the most depressing channel , but a major eye opener!
Is this young man not a perfect example of the flaws of the system that is supposedly designed to help them. There is so much this young man could have achieved if the support was given. He lives in an ugly world yet he shines with love and integrity- more than the glossy red carpets in Hollywood could ever achieve. Good luck to him and his partner.
R udumbbbb he chose drugs chose gettn gurl prego homeless has nothn to do with system
some people should not procreate! the amount of contradictions coming from this man is evidence of no clear intent beyond that next drug fix. In the end nothing else matters.
Thank you for being open and honest and I’m sorry this is happening to you
He’s so beautiful to look at and soft I really hope that he find his way out. If you read this, just know that you’re still a man and you’re still worthy you’re just in a desperate situation at the moment, but you can always get out and get away.
The fact that he sells his body and cries and the broken way he must feel just tears me up
an act
Hesgayyy
Completely turned out now
I’ve known bro since middle school he had a great life growing up had every toy was grandmas baby he can change his life around if he really set his mind to it but it’s his choice to be out there he got support his pride holding him back I pray he changes his life around he was a good kid … breaks my heart watching this risk …
Oh buddy, I really feel for ya. I got off the fentanyl, meth, heroin, and methadone 2yrs ago. Your life can be soooo much better, believe me. It doesn’t have to be a struggle like this every day for you. Go and get yourself checked in somewhere and get yourself clean. You will look back at this time and wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. Trust me, life is so much better now. I’m outa the game. No more fuckers trying to hurt me or rip me off. I moved out of the hood, adopted a dog and life is a hell of a lot better. You can do it!!
☮️ ❤️
The only person my heart is breaking for is that unborn kid. They don’t deserve to be put through this.
should have compassion for the 3 of them else you dont have a heart
@@isobel64 the whole situation is sad. But that kid doesn’t stand a chance. It’s not fair.
Strange relationship. She is pregnant? She turns tricks? He turns tricks? WTH? For drugs... What kind of "relationship" are they trying to have? Not a good time for them to start a family.
It can get real lonely on the streets. These two found eachother because they have a common bond from similar upbringings. Please don’t judge them. They have eachother to love and to hold, something many on the street do not have.
Mister Big brain over here, ofc it’s not ideal for them but they’re addicts living on streets, why are you expecting them to have a normal sorted out life
The depth of this goes so far beyond anything we can touch here... As someone who has experience with addiction I can say definitively go to rehab! It's your only and I mean ONLY WAY UP from where you are... Don't bring another life into your hell... Real love means putting another before yourself doing that right thing wether you want to or not. And fyi being sick for a minute won't kill you but not doing it will be the death of that child.
I wanted to try to say something but couldn't figure out how to say it with compassion. I think you nailed it. He's stuck in the fallacy that he has to do things, and when you're there, it 100% seems real. When he said that he was going to get a job but not quit using it just highlighted that everything he sees as a problem in his life is actually just symptoms of THE actual problem. He doesn't have a money problem.
So handsome, and so sad… 😞 even his girlfriend’s a pretty girl… I hope things get better for them both 🩷
She is prostituting using drugs and is pregnant……and he is doing the same . They creaky can’t take care of themselves and yet want to bring in a new life , this is so unfair to the child. U should not have the right to have a child if you can’t provide for the child.
That poor baby will be born with drugs in his/her system. The baby will go thru withdrawals
My heart is broken for this young man. If his foster parents did that to him, shame on them!!!! And to his mother too!!! He had the odds stacked against him. Angel, I am praying for you and Jayda!!!
😔 this one hurt i really hope they can both get clean and try to have a better life im praying for you both🙏❤️
Ugh, this. heart wrenching 😢. He’s still just an adolescent adult.
If you search for the interview with his girlfriend Jayda about 3 weeks ago it gets even sadder.
I wish Mark would pull up a bunch of pictures of what happens to babies when they're born while their mothers are using. I don't understand. I'm so confused about the whole baby thing like please do not have that baby. Sorry if this gets me yelled at but come on.
I agree. She even mentioned not being ready for kids in her interview
What a soul.
What a beautiful soul.
Get off the streets darling heart and dream..you can do anything and be anything you want to be.
Be all that you can for your baby, give them all the love you wish you had and don’t look back.
The fact the world has not taken your soul is remarkable.
Use it!
God bless!
I feel for him and his girlfriend. But at the risk of sounding judgy, they shouldn't have a child. That's just irresponsible and selfish. At least not until they're both completely clean and off the street. They're dooming that child from day one, and it's highly likely that he or she will be born with many health issues and a low chance at survival. So sad. I really hope the best for them and that they get help.
I don’t think you sound judgy at all. While everyone is sympathetic, some even empathetic, to their situation, no one can deny the fact that at this moment in both of their lives they are unfit to be parents. If mom does not stop using baby will be born addicted, with no stable housing, unstable parents & will have no choice but to enter into the system. It genuinely breaks my heart & both him and his gf are kind hearted people who are unfortunately battling addiction. but their main focus should 100% be getting clean for themselves individually, and gaining some stability before bringing a child into this world. It breaks my heart to say this, but the strongest act of love they can do for the child is to not bring it into this world right now.
This is not a good situation for a baby to enter into. This is so sad.
How low drugs can make u go. You lose all self worth.
Angel you got this! Being sober is amazing. Just have to confront your demons first! ( therapy helped me so much) can’t wait to see you back on the channel sober.
Please interview them together or do an update on his gf. I hope they make it out of this bad life
I live in Arizona and I am sincerely offering you help. I would love to care for your baby while you and your girlfriend get clean. Please dont bring a child into this chaos. Please take help. You can recover. You need help, though. It's amazing how people can turn around with the right support systems. You can do this. Praying for your family to overcome.
It makes me sad to see someone broken like him, but it horrifies me that they are drug addicts who will become parents. What hope does their kid even has under all these substances? It's a sin and crime to abuse someone in womb with drugs, there should be more serious regulations about that.
I agree my daughter had fentanyl meth and weed in her system she left her baby at the hospital she should have went to jail!
My biggest fear is for this unborn child. She is using drugs while pregnant. Prostituting while pregnant as well. How do we know the paternity for certain? This baby isn't asking to come into this. Man......I ask the universe to protect the cycle from continuing with a baby. Someone needs to intervene in regards to the baby. He's a gentle soul but being a parent is the hardest thing you will ever do. xoxo
Mark you provide a great service in at least letting these people stories be told
💔💔💔 prayers for him and his lady friend.
That’ll help
Why don't you pray for their unborn baby?
Do not have that baby man. Please consider what you can actually do for them and if they’re gonna have a better life than you. I can’t understand how people in these conditions have the courage to put another life on earth just to suffer.
If she's a prostitute then how do we know he is the father?
that’s a very good question I’m sure she’s having unprotected sex hopefully they don’t get hiv this is a heartbreaking story hopefully they can get their life together before it’s to late 🙏🏼
When it comes to addiction, one thing I've learned (as a former addict myself) is that we can't expect people to change or get sober because we want them to. Our expectations are just that - ours. And we have to remember that they are under no obligation to fulfill them.
Money, food, clothes, or shelter are one thing, but it doesn't really help get to the root of whatever the problem is.
However, having good people around you can. Sometimes, even offering a different perspective can lead someone to change their mind, and that can lead them to wanting to change their life.
For me personally, meaningful, healthy, and solid relationships with good people can make a WORLD of difference.
Oh my goodness Mark. This story made me cry. They are children lost in addiction. Now she is pregnant another child going into the system. I feel so terrible for them both. I am a mom.
I’ve watched a lot of these videos. You are a lovely soul… please please get the help you need for the 3 of you 🙏🏼❤️
