@AllAboutBrazil

like i should give you a chance to do your pathetic little information selection routine, which your small brazilian brain thinks means something. overall its doing better than brazil on 9 social stats out of 10 if not more, so blow me.

but i'm gonna be amused by your stupidly delusional answer, so canada.

[joyfulvulture]

@AllAboutBrazil

"I mean YOUR country that's worst than Brazil anyway"

exactly what i was talking about when i said you're some delusional, overly patriotic moron. my country ranks better than yours on basically every social stat you could think of, yet you think your country is better. you live in a fantasy world, idiot.

[joyfulvulture]

@AllAboutBrazil

"You imbecile, our per capita GDP is 21,000 no matter how much is it in dollars ... We don't give a @#$% for prices in dollars"

i'm pretty sure the companies that sell you stuff do, fucking idiot. BMW isnt gonna sell you a car for 50000 real. everything can be converted to dollars, its all relative.

"That's the best decription what happens in your country"

i'm not from the US, and even if i was it doesnt excuse your dumbass having a delusional view of brazil.

[joyfulvulture]

@AllAboutBrazil

lol, you call me illiterate when your dumbass doesnt even know what an average is. 10000$ is the average, and an average is obviously in the middle, so that number is representative of the middle class not of the poor you fucking moron. 10000$ is below the poverty line in most "modern" countries, meaning the average brazilian is considered poor in the US/canada/whatever. you dont have a middle class, more like poor and very poor.

[joyfulvulture]

@AllAboutBrazil

"We are a country where 66% are middle class, millions of these earns more than 100,000 Dollars year"

your GDP per capita is about 10 000$. in us/canada/australia/most of europe its 35000-45000$.

nice middle class idiot... you're full of shit. you're just some fucking moron with an overinflated sense of national pride doing his best to make his shitty country look good. information selection will get you nowhere when you're in denial of the big picture.

[joyfulvulture]

@AllAboutBrazil

"We have enough money to give them good home and education"

nope. lie to yourself all you want you dumb brazilian, your denial isnt helping anything.

[goliveira5]

This was long long time ago

[TheTravelfool]

all Black yet Brasil is only 6% Black

[TheTravelfool]

@AllAboutBrazil this is reality o meu amigo, but it is not all of Brasil. Actually we have street kids in America. 2 of my students right now are 14 and homeless. I always see them late at night out. They live in a bad area and come walking past my apt to the sorveteria. I think I might run outside now, I have a hunch they are there. I wish they showed the good of Brazil too, and the bad of the US. Not every1 is rich in my country. Some ppl here live in shacks in Appalachia

[TheTravelfool]

@JakeMansonNYC Brazil really isn't a giant slum. There are poor regions but there is also a lot of rich regions, and I mean really rich

[TheTravelfool]

@JakeMansonNYC it's only helping them for a day, that can make a lot of difference to these kids. Even smiling at them can make a difference but it won't remedy the situation. There needs to be more jobs in Brazil, more attention given to the North of Brazil, and more birth control. Couples need to learn they are protecting life by not having a surplus of kids they can't support.

[TheTravelfool]

As a teacher it took me only about 1 second to realize the boy in the blue shirt he says OI to is very special needs :(

[TheTravelfool]

I think the Pope should come to the favela, then let's see how we feel about not using condoms and birth control

[TheTravelfool]

I have worked with street kids worldwide. While the US is a 1st world nation there are street kids here, some as young as 9. They are more hidden than in Brazil where they are easier to spot. I am not taking about kids w/ homeless parents. Canada has street kids too. But most street kids in US/Brazil go home at night or every few nights. The gardener at my apt is 24 and became a street kid at 13 when his drug addict parents kicked him out.

[TheTravelfool]

Ok, americans....Beloo OrEEZonCHee is how you say it

[TheMagmagoblin]

[Merrylikechristmas]

I wonder where half these kids are now.

[rb7magnetico]

Brazil has no action to eliminate the poverty, so the media placates sympathy by showing the street kids.Well those kids will get older and multiply creating the sme problem and expanding favels.The programs they have just sustain the problem not solve it. Pixote and City of God are perfect examples.Wanna stop vagabond kids treat and educate the older crowd.Elminate those shanty towns of crime and prostitution of all generations.

[TheTravelfool]

@rb7magnetico There are programs but the problem is there is a) corruption and b) ppl not taking advantage of it. I lived in Brazil and these moms would have a chance to send their boy to school, but no she'd rather have him selling candy along the highway. Brazil needs a foster system b/c many of these kids actually do go home at night to horrific homes and uneducated parents.

[rb7magnetico]

@TheTravelfool Brazil needs to be more regimental on the youth on education and keep from creating children who become drones of poverty and drugs.Brazil is too leaniant to the poor and criminals.Brazil is a economically segregated country.

[bikines]

@rb7magnetico !!!!!!!!!!!!

[rb7magnetico]

@bikines !!!!!!

[ad1665]

@radiovaral are you pissing brain dead you ignorant cunt theres 9/10 million street kids today and it's a growing number it's extremely povertyfull in the favela or streets the rich half of brazil is locked away behind security gates and have nothing to do with the poor! Just greedy heartless cunts who leave 7 year old boys and girls on the streets to get raped and abused, open your mind and do some homework you fool

[radiovaral]

Brazilian children are NORMAL!!! They aren´t starving kids... Maybe, there is about 20.000 street children in Brazil, But other 20 million that belongs to the middle class ou upper classes, but at no way they are street children...

And this documentary is quite OLD... I guess it was filmed at least 2 decades ago... The country changed A LOT...

[ArmandoRibeiro100]

@radiovaral yes but for us in the first world,,,if ONE kid lives on the street,,,its one too much. Did u understand my english? Posso escrever em portugues tbm, para nos no primeiro mundo,,,,UMA crianca vivendo na rua,,,é uma demais. Entao imagina o Brasil,onde tem milhares ou até milhoes de criancas sem casa.

[SuzLa1]

If it's a Catholic country and the Catholic church says no contraception, then why doesn't the Pope let them live in the Vatican?

[TheTravelfool]

@SuzLa1 exactly. I was in the North of Brazil where it is extremely poor (the South is quite rich) and I asked the women if they would have use birth control. "Nao! Nao!" they'd cry as they had 7 children living in mudmade homes. That was in Garanhuns. Then you go a few km down in Garanhuns to these big, beautiful homes of the rich. But not as rich as the south. Southern states of Brazil and Sao Paulo are very rich

[thepolodon21]

older boys raping lil boys smh Im not judging just sad

[bikines]

@thepolodon21 !!!!!!!!!!

[TheFred128]

@JakeMansonNYC Brazil is an incredible country booming, I live in a state rich in high-growth Minas Gerais, in a big city called Belo Horizonte, full of opportunity for many great jobs, colleges, large companies, there is also poor and middle class population, upper middle class and rich as anywhere in the world, as in the USA which also has its slums, in contrast to the rich neighborhoods. the world cup will be here in Brazil, come and be enchanted by the beauty of the country and its culture!

[morenogaucho19]

@TheFred128I am Brazilian. This is the reality for many poor children of color every day. Progress in Brazil is limited to a mostly white/wanna be white ruling class. this fact can't be hidden no matter how much block head rich brazilians want u to see this so called "other side" of Brazil remember that it was built on the backs of the poor, indian and black. this situation is a direct consequence to racism, left over from slavey and demonizing of the poor.

peace

[cristoretornebiblia]

@morenogaucho19 This is the reason I want to change this and help and empower the brown street child and black street child in brazil, mexico, india, africa, this racism has caused the deaths of millions of children around the world and things need to change

[TheFred128]

where they filmed that shit in a slum? these ugly slum, I live in Brazil and it is rare to see it, these videos will make tourists feel that Brazil is a shit, which is not true.

[princ3zzh0tty]

@TheFred128 I Know right! They do the same thing to mexico! So, do you speak spanish? Im asking that cause , I speak it and trying to look somebody who speaks spanish. Ooh yeah and im half mexican and cherokee part

[TheFred128]

@princ3zzh0tty ah ... I suspected this.

[princ3zzh0tty]

@TheFred128 yep! you said, it.

[Styk0s]

i would rather be homeless in brazil than russia

[fernandoss1982]

@Styk0s That is for sure !!! we have mild winters and people in brasil help more the ones in need, even thou its not enough

[kidkush7044]

@Styk0s hahaha whyy? wats wrong with russia. oooo all tha neo nazies running around huh ahaha

[TheTravelfool]

@Styk0s I've worked with street kids in both. I agree, only because in Russia many freeze to death

[Andre21160]

I can understand how heated this situation is. What I do not understand is how we can put money in to bombs and wars and we cannot even help the gift that god has given us and that is children. I plan to go to brazil next year and do what ever I can to help these children.

[afrolatinadamien]

funny how most of these poor children are of Afro decent *sigh* never fear my fellow brothers an sister, things can only get better with time <3 stay strong

[riosmic]

I don't understand Brazil completely but if this man can come to your country and do just a little to make a difference in these childrens lives then I believe the country as a whole can do the same and make leaps and bounds for the children. I have spoke with a girl from Brazil and she told me that their are maids in brazil and they are usually poor people and they are lazy and all the rich people have maids. I hope and pray while she is here in america she finds love in her heart for them.

[TheTravelfool]

@riosmic Well, consider how we look at the poor right here my dear. Many think they are al lazy and all abuse the welfare system. I grew up in a rich family, I heard crap like that all the time

[DaniboyBR2]

@AllAboutBrazil Shut THE FUCK UP, understand something called POINT OF VIEW you dumbass motherfuckers, your natiolatist channel is ridiculous, I really didn't thought there were people THAT stupid like you, who creates a channel saying how HIS country is rich, and their executives have great education, how our cities are clean and THIS HERE IS A LIE.

Was he making up these kids? They didn't exist? Your a moron and I sincerely believe the planet would become less dum if you died.

[FARRISDELONEY]

the hardest thing in the world is to see people suffering espesialy children

[esiosan]

This movie is from the 80s-90s... it is likely many if not most of these kids are already dead or in jail.

[TheTravelfool]

@esiosan true

[sfordgg]

BRING THEM TO AMERICA

[mediasage91]

Sounds so easy, but then what? I guess you forgot that we are currently recovering from a recession. Brazil is going to be an economic force in the future-many predict that. You think with all that money they would be able to help their own people.

[Cssna]

poor children!

[mexicanabaiana]

Whoever left the comment about not seeing children on the street anymore is seriously misinformed, The situation is overwhelming, especially in the urban epicenter of São Paulo, where people just walk by and over the children, completely desensitized by their presence on the street as if the children were invisible. The epidemic of homeless kids in Brazil drastically changed my life, This is a nice film, a replica of how it really is in the major cities in Brazil,

[FadedHolySoldier]

@mexicanabaiana yes your right. alot of tourists just walk over and ignore the street children. but you need to understand. I dont have money to help every kid. first and foremost, i gotta take care of myself, i dont have money to help and give every street kid that begs me.. so thats why we ignore them. we just cant help them.. i have no choice but to numb my feelings and walk pass them

[TheTravelfool]

@mexicanabaiana Rich Brazilians know but they don't want to talk about it. Brazilians find it impolite when one talks about the bad things of another's country.

[ikelaw]

Judging by the music and the cars, it was made during the 80´s, when the country was in a huge economical and political crisis... Today is not so easy to see street children, except for some places like Luz neighbouhood in São Paulo, or some parts of Rio...
