If you watch Childrens Underground documentary check my new and for now only video on my channel, its old Mihai the little boy from the movie sending a message to everyone ;]
UPDATE ABOUT THE KIDS: Hello there! This is a great documentary. I am in contact with 3 of the kids in the video, I am a writer and I think would be great you guys to know they are fine at this time of their lives. Marian, Ana and Mihai are fine and they are in their 20`now. The siblings still live in Romania, they are both parents now and seems to be happy. Mihai lives in Belgium, he speak french fluently and is a great guy. You can see pictures of them on my site magekeller com.
@dami9989 What kind of life is that? Spending your days begging for money to score your next high because it's cheaper than buying food? Sleeping on the cold subway floor in the same clothes you've worn for weeks on end? Always being on the lookout for fear of being beaten or raped? And for what? To die of an act of violence, drug overdose or malnutrition before you are 25? I'm not saying their lives are meaningless, but if you knew you could spare a human being from that why wouldn't you?
@dami9989 Of course not, but when you force mothers to have children they don't want or can't care for, they end up in the social system. And when you have children who would rather live on the streets than in orphanages, what does that tell you about the child welfare system? Watching a bunch of 10 year olds cheering because they scored their next high is pretty disturbing. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of physical, mental and sexual abuse these kids have gone through.
kids are all alone on the street and people just walk by. its us all who do it. if we humans werent so fucking dumb and always thinking about ourselves and money, we would go ask the children what is wrong, and is there anything we can do for them. if someone isn't doing well, why don't we help? what is wrong with us? everyone should think about it and try to help out every person you can. its just fucking sick to IGNORE ALL THE PROBLEMS IN THIS WORLD
I think Mihai, of all 5 of them will have a chance of a brighter future. He is eager to learn and go to school. As a little child, I think he is tough and a very determined individual. I hope someone in the States or anywhere else in the world (if not Romania) will sponsor him and put him to college to give me a chance in life. I think he will do well. God bless all the street children all over the world and make them safe...
@HockeyGirl514 Mihai lives in Belgium now, he speak french fluently and has a job. Both siblings are in Romania but are parents now. Im in contact with the kids who are adults now and they are doing great :)
@magekeller - Wow, its amazing how you are in contact with the kids. Yeah, I know Mihai speaks French now. I posted a comment on his facebook in French (Im from Montréal) and he clicked like on it LOL. He even replied to some of my comments too. Its pretty cool. Once a little tiny kid is a grown man now ! Im glad they are well.
@fuckcomments It's bizarre that all round the world and from a variety of different countries that these youngsters run-a-way to live in the street where there is no law, but what makes it unusual that where ever there's a huge capital city there usually is youngsters huffing glue / polish / paint in a sewer or a rail terminal. The coincidence is uncanny
i watched this entire documentary on DVD from my public library and it was heartbreaking!
I especially felt compassion for little Ana and her little brother. From what i could tell her mother didnt want them at home because her boyfriend (not the children''s father) didnt want them their. He referred to it as 'four years of misery" raising them. I also got the impression that this man has sexually abused Ana. Just from the things he mentioned and the fact she wouldnt say whay she left home?
@LadyScorpio39 - I agree with you...when he said Ana was still a virgin, I started to think that he did something to her ! ....like how would he know if she's a virgin or not and why would it even be a topic in the conversation? I think he is controlling the children's mother to keep them away with the excuse of "cannot afforf to feed them" which could be true but the mother get pregnant again with TWINS !!! ....another empty mouths to feed? May God bless them and make them alright...

IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME, I WAS DEEPLY TOUCHED BY VIOLETA MACARENA ROSU and really want to write her a letter or get in touch with her! I would love to know how she is doing and a update- If you have anyway of getting in touch with her or giving a update then that would be sweet- I would love to offer her some support and help- IF you ever see this macarena then get in touch with me, wish you well
Thanks a lot for uploading. :) One question: have you edited this at all or is this the way it was originally edited? Seems a bit jumpy in some parts (I mean the editing), just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. :)
@MalyKrtek77 Ahh, ok. Thanks for the quick reply! Sorry to hear about the last few minutes missing, but don't worry, you putting this up on YT is still very much appreciated! ^_^
God, if only these children could have been rehabilitated. They have to be grown up now. Grown up crazy street people. A Boom generation of crime and sadness.
@makenna88 And how can these people walk by at children filthy dirty sleeping on the floor at a subway not do a damn thing?!? We don't stand by that shite in my country.
@einsteinslies rofl i see plenty if dirty, filthy sleeping children all thruout the west, sleeping "rough" and the hypocritical middle class does nothing about it
this is really sad.. es muy triste saber que ninos que no tienen la culpa de nada paguen d esta manera.. there is people who worry of no having the best shoes, car or anything material. but this kids worry about having something to eat.. really breaks my heart...
These kids need to be rounded up and put into homes where they can be taught a trade and schooled. The old system, although cruel at times did have its benefits. The glue headed, purse snatcher of today is the drug dealer armed robber of tommorrow.
I wonder what happened to the rest of the former "decree babies" in Romania?
When the story broke in '89/90, things looked horrific. But that was nearly 20 years ago. The last of the children born to that system would be at least 20 by now.
You really have strong mental problemz, search for help man, otherwise I don't see any other future for you as those of shitler's, you will end up with a bullet in your head!!!
give me a break you retarded nazi, you don't know anything about gypsies or these homeless bastards yet you talk like you're some expert on the matter and live over here. you haven't seen them with your own eyes, you don't know shit, everything you know is from a distorted westerner perspective. mind your own country's problems don't stick your filthy jew nose in other countries' internal problems, where it doesn't belong.
Mind blowing documentary....on the behalf of the adults that blame the children for being out there! As a social worker, I was heartbroken watching this..and it made me want to do something for these children! Thank you for the heartbreakingly realistic documentary.
My favourite documentary! I saw this a few months ago and still haven't managed to get the children out of head, particulary the eldest, Cristina Ionescu - she really touched my heart.
I can't stop wondering where these kids are now and if they are okay (and how they can possibly be 'okay', really. How can they learn to trust people when they've learned not to, in order to survive).
That's good to know. I heard from another youtuber that he was living in Belgium with foster parents. Do you know anything about Ana and Marian, I've gotten conflicting reports from other youtubers. One said she has a house and is doing well, another said she is a drug addict and a prostitute.
Cristina is a girl!? :O holy shit, first time I watched it I thought it was a hot ass guy. She's badass
