Economy Leaving Kids Homeless

[Sassymarkrep]

Kids are always the innocent victims.

[blackaristo]

This country is in a tailspin! Sad.

[michelleslameaccount]

just watched this again and my heart really goes out that sweetheart breanna.. i really hope that she and everyone else are doing better.

[mrman3810]

i do agree that economy does have effect on the children i think that the children need to understand that its hard on the parents when you lose a job and everything is gone and the worst part is that is hurting their children because they dont have the space or money to get the things you want. i do agree that apartments would be better than getting a house due to the cost of living going up.

[michelleslameaccount]

seriously? a spoiled homeless kid? times were rough when i was twelve and i would NEVER complain around my mother who worked her ass off doing the did she best she could. he could be on the streets instead of that heated motel. and what kind of "normal" kids life does he expect? theres no such thing- we all struggle. i dont have sympathy for this kid.

[mrman3810]

@michelleslameaccount i think the problem is the kid is probarly getting picked on in school and he doesnt have normal living where he doesnt have his own room or cant ask his mom for money to buy things. he is too young to be thinking like a 40 year old. his complaints are a typical 12 year old who doesnt understand that it takes time for his parents to get on their feet. i do agree that he is complaining too much but its normal under circumstances because of the harsh reality of his situation

[michelleslameaccount]

@mrman3810 nah sorry typical 12 year old? he's acting way younger than that. i was 12 when my single mother was on welfare and struggling to keep the house. and like i said there could be many worse situations to be in. many kids are. i think he's immature and playing the 'poor me' card. imagine how he's hurting his parents by saying those things on tv.. he must be old enough to know how hard they're working. idk maybe tweenies have changed in the past few years or im just being bitter. lol.

GOP HAS done MORE to HURT AMERICAN ECONOMY THAN A THOUSAND BIN LADENS

[maenyn]

I'v been there I moved out on my own when I was 18... the reason why that kid is so fat is probably because for some reason the food banks and other such places that give out free food seem to give lots of bread and pasteries.

[DanielR305]

Obama I bet has not noticed this awful figures on homeless kids across us states I bet. I believe hes just taking action on the top guys with the big bucks to make the us a richer country while that's going on homeless kids are growing at a alarming rates. I would not be surprised if the uk is in a similar situation myself I would like to think he would put a relief package together so they won't have to live in shelter's for too long I hope

[v3rn3n]

So much for "no child left behind".

[bounceeer]

i mean.. you cry about money but you eat like elephant?

[KeishaMMZPDT]

I am one of those kids who doesnt have the "LIFE" I have been living away from my family since I was 16 and I have had some ruff times so I know what its like. The economy just sucks now.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

The economy is a bastard like no other!

[zeze40video]

What is a NORMAL kid's life? The absurdly extravagant environment ruining leave it to beaver life? A normal kid's life? We are so sick as a society. So spiritually bankrupt. (not an evangelical christian) GO WORK! Get your ass up and WORK! Cut grass. Bus tables. I know immigrants who live on NOTHING and don't whine. Anyway, I pray for their happiness and health.

[zeze40video]

The mother seemed to have possibly had meth mouth. Or maybe her boyfriend abused her. The child is morbidly obese and already full of excuses. No dad = no discipline = obese whiner kid. Still, he seems intelligent enough. The US is still paved with gold if you work hard and sacrifice.

[crushedvelvet1]

I have no mercy for the builder that lived above average. I bought a ghetto home and I could of had a nicer home. And with the economy and me out of work due to a spine fusion, my wife can make the house payment. Don't buy what you can't afford. The hotel money could go to a lesser home. I see spoiled Americans.

[slayerkendra]

more and more kids will be homeless thanks to osama obama

[khoazilla]

tell him to eat less and they'll be alright

[hotae333]

makes you proud to be america hahahaha

[bystrzej]

Get apartment instead of house. It will cost less.

Learn to study in any conditions, people in 3rd world countries study in much worse conditions and don't complain but learn how to focus their mind. If Michael can not study at motel maybe he should stay in school or library. It should be quiet enough in there. :)

[kx2102]

can't agree more

[Greenterror]

LOL wow u have solved all there problems with your comment LOL

[kn9iou]

GOP STANDS FOR GRAND OLD POVERTY !!!

[slayerkendra]

osama obama stands for stealing from your great grand childern

[Xemoman89]

hahahhahahaha

[gromvrau]

she makes too much money .. so fix your teeth woman.

and stop feeding that kid, than maybe you'll be able to afford an apartment, may be a house even.

[ncfwhitetigress]

You are incredibly ignorant. She makes too much money for FOOD STAMPS, meaning she's just barely above abject poverty. Do you think cosmetic surgery would even be on the agenda when you can't afford a place to live?

Furthermore, the poor are more prone to obesity. Many can only afford McDonald's food, and you know perfectly well how healthy that is. It's not like the mom is spending on fine French cuisine, for crying out loud! These people are not to blame for their predicament.

[gromvrau]

my comment was obviously a joke

don't take it seriously, its the internet

[HorseGurl010]

There was no need to even post it.

[ncfwhitetigress]

I understand, but sometimes humor can cross from the "morbid" category to the "too morbid" category, in which case it isn't funny anymore.

[ncfwhitetigress]

Furthermore, your comment kind of struck too close to home for me because I had a boyfriend who climbed out of a situation as desperate as the one the kid in this video is in. In other words, people who know rape victims don't laugh at rape jokes.

[ncfwhitetigress]

Haha, your comment got marked as spam, douchebag. You're such a douche, douche, douche. You DOUCHE.

[jerkiinisahabit]

fucker lol in my ass

[CLdreams]

So true about healthy food... so expensive... processed food it way cheaper

[ncfwhitetigress]

Tell me about it.

[Jakexpert]

Wow seriously that sucks for them.

[AndrewXAnarchy]

5:09 Don't do it kid!!!!!

[TripleGangstaX3Mitze]

Lmao!

[gromvrau]

hahahaha lmao

[4rtic3]

Don't worry... He will stay afloat. if you know what i mean. HAHA! ;]

[MrMss4]

I will be honest, I don't think think the first kid interviewed has the best attitude.

[ncfwhitetigress]

Consider the stress he's under.

[AndrewXAnarchy]

That's what happens when you live on credit and fail to put money by.

[mage5056]

hmkayy then ??? O.o

[whitestar111]

[iWebkinzx9]
