  • maybe if jack doesn't like puffy jackets, you should just give him a different f@$&ing jacket. just maybe he hates being forced to wear a jacket because YOU want him to

  • I am so glad my parents never put me on medication when I was younger. Sure I was a little f**k up at times but that doesn't mean I should be medicated

  • have these people ever heard of giving their children a good slap? It worked for me and my brother! All kids have a nasty streak like that, its called hormones! That woman is treating her son as if he's a monster, reading too much into things. sounds like she's a fantasist. She just needs to punish him properly. When he grows up he'll mature and realise how badly he behaved.

  • Wait a minute... when i was a little kid i avoided baths and showers and brushing my teeth, i got into fights at school, i had a hissy fits when things didnt go my way etc does this mean i had ADHD? damn get the meds quick!!! no.. infact ive grown up just fine because my mother made a commitment to bring me up the right rather than feed me some chemicals in a pill.

    The Mother is to blame, what did she expect from motherhood? did she think her kids would be perfect human beings? docs r jst as bad

  • Everyone's a psychologist, huh?

  • Her confession about Hugh's affinity with Disney villains is really something.

  • i wish i could talk to this kid and help him through what he and i went through

  • Lol. That kid is the average american kid these days. Hates to lose. Part of the "everyone wins" generation.

  • I think Hugh and his mum may have been the inspiration for "We need to talk about Kevin".

  • Is it just me or does any of you guys feel uncomfortable when that emotionless kid walks around the house with his toy guns?

  • @ElMakz Yeah but to be fair heel probably create the next south park or simpsons just get him a camrea.either that or the next trence coat mafia.

  • This is ridiculous. I totally understand O.C.D. but these kids are feeding off the coddling. If somebody is giving me attention for the things I do, of course I'm going to continue them. People are causing sickness and feeding already preexisting conditions and making them worse.

    The first mother, even her "normal" kid said no to her when she asked her to do something. That mom needs a firmer hand. Like hell would I allow my kids to say that to me, they can say they hate me all they want.

  • nature vs nurture at its finest

  • beat your kids! otherwise they'll turn into spoiled faggots! my parents beat me and i turned out into a productive citizen! I'm a mutha fuckin doctor! these kids are fucked up drugging them isn't going to help your just surprising them you need to beat it out of them!

  • @YUGOBOSS47 I disagree

  • It's all for attention. I've seen it countless times in children. Medicating them only feeds that urge for attention, makes them feel special and so they keep behaving this way

  • seems like a regular 6 year old. They're all pissed when they lose anything.

  • jacks mom clearly is on X

  • Maybe if parents stopped feeding their kids processed foods packed with E numbers, chemical additives & preservatives & used some real discipline in these kids lives then i believe there would be far less of these problem kids. Parents need to look up some of the nasty side effects of Fluoride & Aspartame, chemicals that are now in most city water supplies (Fluoride) & in almost every soft drink & foodstuff (Aspartame) both chemicals are leathal & proved to cause mental problems in kids

  • I love the dog :D

  • Its all about attention. Thats why these kids act up. I did the same as a kid. I was an absolute little prick. My parents diddnt give in and diddnt medicate me as the doctors advised. Now im older i am totaly fine. No problems. Parents get a fucking clue and learn to disapline.

  • when i was little and lost at a game i used get upset and go off and sit by myself where no one else would see me and maybe i'd cry, i dont think they should take as serious as other stuff. its something you learn by yourself as you grow up.

  • And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why it would be a great idea to require licenses for couples who wanted to have children.

  • louis is a fuckin awesome host, i love watching him and how he learns from these experiences and you can just tell that he really is into what the show is about. props to a very good television host, wouldn't rather to watch anyone else.

  • The little blonde kid I forgot his name. But he's acting like that because he want's attention. The parents need to deprive him of attention. Let him learn on his own that if he doesn't shower, he'll look and smell like an asshole. Let him learn that if he acts like a prick, he won't get attention. If he acts more appropriate, he'll get treated appropriately. Some kids just need to learn on their own.

  • actually little jack look slike he just needs some more freinds to play with.

    If you dont like loosing you might as well get used to playing for the sake of playing and not for the chance to win :)

  • Louis Theroux is a ledge and this is exactly why.

    Louis Theroux never stop doing what you do.

  • youv gotta remember the US pharmacy companies make HUGE MONEY off all this false diagnosis !

  • they are focusing on the word win so much, it's a like a verbal trigger than Jack knows people expect him to act a certain way to. Like when louis wins the game, Jack doesn't really react, not until his mom goes, "Jack, did louis just WIN?" with emphasis. It's like jack thinks Oh ya! Im supposed to scream now.

  • Jack is just showing out.

  • Comment removed

  • My mom would have been like "Boyy!! You better put on those shoes... SSHiiitt!" SMack!!! I never even thought of saying no to my parents when I was a kid...I'm not sure if I see kids that need medication or kids maniuplating their tolerating parents.. Seems to me M.D's will diagnose and prescribe sometimes for the sake of the parents.. not for the improvement of the kid..Louis Theroux really makes me wonder about the world we live in...

  • Every kid gets upset when they lose.. He's playing against people 5 times his age, he always loses. I'd be pissed if I always lost too.

  • Comment removed

  • @uniquetrev games=gamble? age=nothing to do with that?

  • Louis would make a good therapist. 

  • When she says "discipline" she means punishment. Punishment does not work well with either kids or dogs.

  • I feel sorry for the kid and the dog. They are both trapped.

  • This poor kid, Hugh, he is having everything inflicted on him by his parents. You can see in how they speak about him, like they're at war with him. If they persevere then he will at some stage become suicidal and drop out into drugs and so on. Its clear that when he wraps up his Wii for punishment, hes making a statement which is "You want to hurt me? you think im ao bad? look, i feel so bad i will hurt myself", and they completely misunderstand this to be some kind of evil challenge. Its sad.

  • Are these people fucking out of their minds??? They all should be put in jail, seriously!

  • This kid has been told so many times that he hates losing that he is actually starting to act to it. Honestly, all kids hate losing.

  • Sorry champs but these kids do need to be medicates

  • I think our Western world has some serious problems with giving everything names. Honestly, the little kid doesn't like losing. I have yet to meet or see a kid that does like losing.

    I honestly think that we are a bit spoiled, we have everything we need in our lifes.

  • haha, that's how I used to react to losing! thank god my parents didn't try to diagnose me with multiple disorders

  • It's called making a mature and responsible decision about wanting kids. Mediocre parenting and an unhappy household isn't fair to anyone.

  • it seems we have yet another video showing parents and lazzy parenting, Both the adults and the kids in this video seem to be attention seeking., These parents and children should be in behavior therapy and NOT drugging down therapy. In my day it was discipline and respect, or an old fashioned grounding or whack on the ass.

  • U mad

  • I would sue the hell out of my parents if they were like that..

    what the fuck.. those fucking parents make me mad!! : O

  • Comment removed

  • "Why are you hitting your head?" "I HAVE NO IDEA!!"

    lulz

  • QUIT THE MEDS TRY ORGANIC METHODS , THESE ARE OUR CHILDREN JESUS !!!

  • That Jack kid is faking it, its so obvious, he's aware he can get privileges by acting that way..

  • I was just like this as a kid...my parents never gave me a single drug lol.

  • @awsumpossum1 And look at you now! LOL!

  • @sgtcrab1 ...huh...?

  • I love louis' little grin when he beats jack at the marble game ahahahaha

  • You know...when I was a kid, if I misbehaved, I got spanked...

    And I think too many parents probably do hit their kids, and go a bit too far sometimes...

    At the same time:

    Who here thinks a good smack in the ass or face and grounding Hugh would PROBABLY make him just a tad slower to treat his mom like totally shit?

  • lol - jack rules. tear ass jack. mash that shit up.

  • jack's just a little shit ..no excuses

  • They need to get there buts spanked problems solved.

  • Problems in America: kid wont take a shower

    Problems in Africa: kids cant take a shower

  • Comment removed

  • @TUBESTEAKNIG Preach it Brother

  • whats wrong with taking a shower??LOL!!!I love taking shower

  • Pfft, white people.

  • Thank god I had reasonable parents. I would have been medicated to with in a inch of my life had I been to some of these doctors.

  • That jack kid is just seeking attention lol. He knows doing that gets him attention lol.

  • These kids just seem like kids lol.

    These parents need to learn how to whack their kids about.

    Ohhhh he loved the bad guy, he must have mental issues.

    Man these people shouldn't be allowed to be parents.

    If I spoke to my dad/mum the way some of those kids do I'd get my fucking head kicked in lol.

  • these doctors prescribe Adderall for everything !!! Crazy

    Dam pharmaceutical companies !!!!!

  • When I was a kid I was like borderlined ADD (not ADHD) but fortunately my parents decided not to medicate me and just deal with it. My cousin was ADHD and medicated. Now I'm in college(After the Army) and he's in prison.

  • Luckily, I aint American.Going by this video, if I grew up there, I d now be the Joker from The Dark Knight

  • I am finding it hard to fathom why most of the people commenting are suggesting that these children are just misbehaving or being rude.

  • ALL THESE PARENTS ARE FUCKING NUTS!

  • The mother is a controlling bitch.

  • The shower situation was a 5 or 6 of 10 stress points??????Are you kidding me????She doesn't know what real stress means. He just didn't want to get a shower....that's it. No fighting at all. She should have no kids at all.....not able to be a good mom.

  • His mom is not able to raise this child....she's so super weak. This poor boy.....what a hell on earth.

  • OMFG. I used to get angry when losing as a child. I grew out of it. This is sick. Bad parents and big pharma drugging the kids if any of them deviates from some "normalcy" even a little bit.

  • I love how Louis got the kid out from under the table, and the woman who works with them couldn't.

    Instead of throwing drugs at their faces, maybe people should learn to deal with kids.

  • @iRockagainst 3:30 Kid's missing a father figure- that's what that's about.

  • As much as I like Louis' documentaries I can't watch this. These parent's parental skills are appalling.

  • Even the dog is on pills

  • 7:58 le wild cat appears :3

  • This Hugh kid reminds me of Slater from "The Sitter", that Jonah Hill movie.

  • Just send the kids to a soccer club or sth instead of giving them strong mediacation!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • weak parenting that is all. if i acted up as a kid i got a nice crack from my old man

  • I'm not convinced by Jack. He's just spoiled and in need of a slap.

  • God, Hugh just needs to be left alone sometimes- I have depression and anxiety too, and I need to deal with that alone. It's stressful to never have a moment away from concerned parents, it just adds more stress.

  • There just kids.... Its pretty simple

  • better than any drugs: teach them manners.

    FUCK.

  • Soccer moms are sooo annoying.

  • I WANT TO FUCK TAMRAS ASS

  • white people, beat your kids please

  • I get the feeling that they diagnose these kids without really taking into consideration the environment they grow up in.

    Mental illness does happen, I know that. There's just something not right about the situation these kids find themselves in.

  • hmmm a kid that cant function well in school... must need anti depressants

  • Hugh reminds me of myself, I used to be such a spoiled kid as well.. but my parents just told me to DO THE FUCK WHAT THEY SAID or I´d get it.. I screamed at them that I hated them and I hoped they got cancer, shit like that. My parents kept dealing with me, telling me to stop being a brat, grounding me and stuf. Then I grew up, and I realised I was being childish. I´m more than fine now, doing great in school etc., I´m happy I dont have hole in my brain bcus of meds. Thank god I had good parents

  • 9:25 THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BITCH

  • I still don't like showering every day.

  • I feel sorry for the mother with Hugh. Although I don't agree with the drugging I believe she only wants the best for her child.

  • @Mark737408

    Oh so drugging them up so they no long function as normal children is so much better oh and let's not forget about those side effects.

    The bottom is a cushiony area it's fine to swat kids there. It's not going to emotionally damage them. Once again I was spanked as a kid and I'm fine. I understood that I misbehaved and that there were consequences.

  • These "parents" are terribad.

  • comon he showered yesterday? why would a child need to shower everyday if he doesnt want to...

  • "Did Louis just win?" "Waaaaaaaaarrrghhhh!!" LOL!!

  • Bad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parentingBad parenting

  • All those parents are truly just lazy and incompetent as parents and lack any courage to teach their children.

  • brave new world

  • It really seems to me that these kids are misbehaving because it's almost expected of them due to their diagnosis, especially the boy with OCD. I actually take anti-psychotic medication myself and it has really helped me and I'm sure that some children really are mentally ill...but it's essential that other less damaging methods are tried first. At the end of the day some kids are just naughty and need to learn to behave. I'm 14, English and recently diagnosed with childhood psychosis.

  • Fucked up school system where beautiful energetic children are drilled 7 hours a day with bland material where they must we still and not move.

    Fucked up parents that have created the problems in the kids, problems such as these are not genetical, your kid develops in a fucked up way its YOUR fault.

    This docu makes me mad, if in 20 years we look at this and shake our heads in disbelief then we are saved as a race. If not then we are dead.

  • This is what happens when you dont beat ur kids.

  • Every kid wants to get out of their seat and run around at school. They are full of energy and they are being made to sit down and do math problems for example All Jack needs is discipline really.

  • Im 26 and sometimes i want to go under the table and wreck every-damn-thing too! These kids seem to be very smart, really intelligent. Stop giving them sugar and processed-mind-altering food, television, and mass culture in excess and they will be fine.

  • It's also mostly about right food!! all the crap these people eat!! too much sugar!!!

  • What's wrong with these kid's is they have failures as parents. I've noticed in the past 10 years more and more parents let their kids RUN them instead of the other way around. Funny how I have a lot of African friends who do well in school and are raised in what I would call overly strict households. But they don't seem to have any of these middle class white problems. I'm not saying it's a race thing fyi but it seems definitely a Western spoilt syndrome.

  • This is a great doco becuase it shows just how out of touch psychiatrists really are

  • Jack is a star!!!! hahahah I love him, he is aweomely cute

  • Louis is a master journalist by NOT saying anything; it's his genius with minimally invasive questions at prime moments that reveal more than he could ever blabber on about.

  • I think Hugh does have some kind mental disorder, but I also think he is using them as an excuse to get his own way. We heard in the first clip that he likes being labeled with ADHD, Aspengers, Bi-polar etc.. Perhaps if these parents would step up and work out their problems (e.g; dog peeing on the floor) their son may function better out in society and in the house. He knows his parents are not going to do anything except go out and get him more drugs.

  • *consent. :).

  • 10:30 black socks 10:39 white socks

  • Hugh's parents are shitty holy fuck... learn to discipline your kid properly... holy fucktards

  • poor jack... fuck i hate the school system.... and all these bad parents...

  • Some of these kids problems are just down to bad parenting

  • @atomsforpeace89 Really now? As a person with ADD and ASD(Autism spectrum disorder) I'd say..that it's not, i've had good parenting all my life and i still have pretty much the same problems, when i'm on meds, i'm like a completely different person. If you do not have a disorder, you cannot put yourself in those people shoes, because you would never see the world as they do. Ya get me?

  • lol theres nothing rong with these children just atention seeking little fucktards

    

  • so basically, hugh's mum is just too lazy to teach him some manners and has just let him become a little shit...

  • 3:00 is the moment you say: 'Jack, sit on the chair, this it not the way you should deal with things'.

    Not

    'Can i show you your thermometer'

  • @mathijs91 No, actually I think she was doing a great job.

    She was treating him with respect and she didn't overwhelm him with orders.

    The problem here are his stupid parents and the stupid psychiatrist.

  • Our country is being brainwashed into thinking we have illnesses we don't have read ultramind solution it will explain all!

  • Play Dates? wtf ever happened to playing outside with your friends on free basis. the fact that we now have a date set aside to play is exactly whats wrong. unless everything fits into nice little boxes, categories or dates, something must be wrong with it? its the parents that are the issue. all this negotiating with kids. watch the fucking dog whisperer for better parenting skills you overeducated whacko's. your not as smart as you think!

  • As for Jack, I know the correct solution for the problem. "Jack, put the damn coat on right now, and stop being a little shit." Not "would you like some more tiiiime Jack. Did you take your medications Jack? show me how you feel on this thermometer" bullshit. geez its like watching Cartman and his mother.

  • the problem with Hugh's mother is that she is an obnoxious passive-aggressive bitch

  • Comment removed

  • ... I think parents need to be more strict and help their children more by teaching them right and wrong themselves, rather than have them meet with all these strangers and brainwash him/her into thinking their wrongly different to everyone other child.

  • The kid just sounds like he's repeating everything adults around him are saying, and by doing this it's probably making him worse, as every kid has tantrums and gets angry but he's being told he has problems and how would that make him feel? I don't know but I think these parents and professionals are just analysing him too much and taking every wrong thing and believing it's all these disorders, and giving them all these pills for them with risks and side effects, it's just dangerous. cont.

  • spare the rod and spoil the child ....these spoilt bratts need a damn good thrashing...

  • awkward dogggg

  • i think that half of these kids are spoiled not sick

  • I have aspergers syndrome, I function nothing like any of these kids.

  • @MrReviewtime Everybody is different. I hope you are doing well!

  • Comment removed

  • damn Western Psych has some hot specialist teachers!!

  • I think the mother is nutty he said he had a shower yesterday he doesn't need 2 a day surely she must remember if he had one or not?

  • All these kids are fine they just need.

    1) A good smacked bottom

    2) Better Parents

    3) Be left alone so they can act like kids

    I never wanted to shower either when I was a kid. I was fineee.

  • @IcyAir0 I only discover now things i do have, psychlogically, and i def had when i was younger, just not discovered. It's not that simple, these kids DO have problems, different from other kids. Though i sometimes get smacked when my anxiety was worse, because my parents didn't really know anything about it, and it helped me be disciplined about it and learned to minimize it. But I had mild forms and so i don't think smacking these kids will eventually help. 2 and 3 are nonesense and untrue.

  • @IcyAir0 ya man there just fukn lazy, parents i mean.

  • @IcyAir0 It may be true for some kids, but you've got to admit that Mental diseases do happen and that they affect some children too and that some of them may be (at least partialy) healed thanx to medication...

  • @IcyAir0 exactly. the parents are over reacting. when ur a kid u dont wanna do anything lol. u have to do things when ur a kid because ur parents make u. u dont just get up and do things for the good of the world when ur young haha

  • Lol @ the kid who tantrumed because he lost at playing marbles. It's just a game, it's not like he lost a valuable possession.

  • tamra should have sucked jacks dick

  • That was a 5 or 6 on the stress scale!!!! O my god, that woman has a real problem

  • Hes a kid, he took a shower yesterday.. its fine!! God she is a pain in the arse... for gods sake even the dog is on medication

  • jack youre not doing ok, stop acting like a complete weird freak and get out from under the damn table like a normal human being.

    what happened to telling kids the truth? as shocking as it may sound, kids can learn and adapt to social norms without being stuffed full of drugs, all you need to do is tell them bluntly what the hell is wrong with them and that they can fix it themselves.

  • These kids Moms are freaks, look at those pink curtains!

  • bitch coulda let jack win, or maybe just don't let him play games? boom. medication not needed

  • @iamastles exactly. you would clearly let the child win anyway.

  • I was a LOT like Hugh when I was a kid. I definitely had oppositional defiant disorder (that name seems hilarious to me, like a double negative) but my mum never gave up on me lol it was very stressful on her and it involved a lot of screaming but now that I'm older I tell her sometimes how much I really appreciate it. Now I'm moved out and in university and holding down a great job. Medication free :)

  • I wish my Mom doped me up on amphetamines every time I displayed even the most basic of human emotions! What a great parent! Have a problem? PILLS CAN HELP!

  • I didn't put my shoes on when I was younger, mainly because I wanted someone else to do it for me. Not to put too fine a point on it, but me playing up was very short lived because my parents didn't put up with it. So I got over it. I also have a cousin who freaks out whenever he loses games, it puts him in a bad mood for a whole day. We ignore it; he gets over it. I'm not a psychiatrist, but it looks like this kid needs boundaries and rules and for people to stop mollycoddling him.

  • Its refreshing to see louis with families that arent extremely crazy and/or racist for once

  • i used to not like to shower either, i learned the hard way because my parents let me go to school smelly and after a couple of times of classmates making fun of me i never went to school smelly again lol. also i used to throw board games and my nintendo controller when i was younger. even if i say so myself, i havent turned out to bad =P

  • My little brother exhibited all these traits when he was younger, but he's grown out of them without medication, and is now a 'normal' teenager - whatever that means.

    It seems so wrong to use all this scientific language to evaluate the behaviour of a child, who has simply not grown up yet.

  • I can't help but feel a swift, good beating will sort these kids out. Surely thats better than drugging them up.

    I got beatings all the time. I'm a fucking man now not some pussy under the table crying.

  • @CreepyBacon cut me a switch

  • @CreepyBacon You scare me.

  • @CreepyBacon Well said sir! kick em when their up, kick em when their down!

  • Has it dawned on anyone that this kid always seems to walk around with a gun?! (toy gun mind you, but come on)...

  • Seriously a lot of this shit is cos the parents are fucking idiots and controlling fucks. A 5/6 out of 10 for stress??? Fucksake, he didn't wanna have a shower, what difference does it make. you don't wanna do shit like that at that age....jesus the hard time I gave my mum about silly things like this, thank fuck I did't grow up in the US! And who's mother makes them say I love you twice or more times a day? That is controlling as fuck. I bet he goes to school and it's a fucking release!!

  • @ButherLi55ett Also some of these parents as narcissists. I think this narcissism is stronger in the US than anywhere else. It's an individual problem but the roots are much deeper, in the society and how it has developed. I think if you took some of them out of the US and put them in different environments their attitudes wouldn't last five minutes, people would have something to say them!
