@@tbirdlewis53She said he doesn’t look as bad as he was not to long ago. That comment has nothing to do with him being attractive or not. Her comment has something to do with the hard street life tearing his body down.
@tbirdlewis53 she talking ab his health cuz he was skinny skinny stupid u want women to be with ugly men to make u feel better u can get with a ugly dude an still be treated like shii
@mermaid30019 not the point. Josias needs to figure it out, if he has to ask for things, beg, and then be an immature azzh0le when he does it; he isn't getting anything.
That man needs to go straight to the health clinic and then to rehab. Grandpa can't handle Josias demons. He has emotional love towards him. But that's not enough.
I really respect the patience and time also love that he shows to Josias there’s a special place for him in Marcus heart for him and sweet Batman. You can say what you want about Marcus but he is a God sent and how many people you know that gonna spend time and his money to help someone. Josias if you reading this bro please get your head right please be careful out there because it’s a lot of weird people out here in these streets I know you love Batman but he’s tired of moving from place to place anytime you think it’s too much for you to handle you can always get someone to help with him cause he loves and depends on you . Much luck and love to you Josias and Batman thank you so much Marcus for having a tender heart to his situation and your other interview .❤
Every needs to stop arguing with him and just talk and let him get home first. What ever he says just listens, I can see why he reluctantly doesn’t want to go. Once he gets there then speak but not all the drama and preaching at once. That’ll make him leave for sure
He doesn’t truly care… he would’ve been took him or anyone to the hospital for saying anything about harming themselves if he did. It’s all about content… what can I get them to say that concerning for views.
He's only leaving Atlanta because I feel like he's scared of being arrested for biting that girl & stealing her phone! Or he's running from something he's done wrong to someone
@@debrabanks8112 he is ungrateful, spoiled, takes no responsibility for anything & selfish. Not many people had a Beaver Cleaver childhood & had rough childhood BUT he uses this for Alll of his excuses & bad habits! He is very immature & has always collected a government check so feels the need he doesn't have to have a job!
I’m soo glad that Marcus is talking to him like a grown man that he is. And holding him accountable. he seems to respond better. I realize he does have mental issue. And I really pray he get the help he needs. I would love to see Josiah’s prosper like the other young man who out of all his adversities he made it to college and doing great. I think Marcus should have an update on him also.
Not if he’s Autistic he’s giving Autistic and needs to be supervised. Just wished that they were more programs with young adults like him that’s been misdiagnosed
@@rakerrake6526That's the part where he needs to get help go get evaluated don't make up excuses for this manipulating kid never have I seen an autistic person act n manipulate ppl the way he does
Exactly 💯 I'm just a viewer and he gets on my nerves. He's extremely annoying. Look how he tried to take over those white people house. I would not take him in.
they need to get him a low income apartment in Columbus, Ohio under $800 an the grandparents need to make sure they pay his rent and utilities on time since they are overseers of his ssi check so they don’t have to deal with his mess, he’ll probably be doing drugs in they house and inviting strangers who live on the streets into their home
The grandfather said that Josias has to go to some place called the star house or something. So I don’t think he’s going to be at his grandparents either. Doesn’t seem like his family wants to be bothered
Told y'all these black famales love to build a bum because the guy that got stabbed already has a female willing to take him in.. damn Women it's that bad for y'all out here? 😂
Josius needs healing. I notice whenever it’s time to say goodbye something changes in him he tries to mask it with humor but it comes off awkward because instead of laughing he really needs to cry 😔. Seems to me like a deep abandonment wound.I pray he gets the help that he needs and heals!
Yea I can agree with the abandonment! Bc his mom left him at 3 and went to prison!!! He had to go stay with his grandparents! So I’m sure he suffered!! N his dad barely was there himself!!
The only healing for him will come in the form of acceptance, he must bare the reality that now he's an adult and no one owes him anything and he must better himself, because no one is going to do it for him, he needs realistic goals in life not a rap fantasy, may he get clean and seek real skills, people battle conflicts everyday and win, he must know he could do the same.
Poor Batman, he’s been getting dragged around from place to place, for months now. He has to be depressed, poor frail dog doesn’t even bark! I feel so sorry for Him! 😔 🐕 🤦🏾♀️ Josias is itching to tell A story, about Anthony & Ashlynn…As Disgusting as it all was, As if his grandfather wants to hear about, that Mess! Smh 🤦🏾♀️ 🤢🙄
You notice he only mentioned being with the wife!! He keeps saying I got with this couple and banged his wife!, But he leaves out he banged the husband too!!!! That’s his problem, he is pretending with these women and takes his anger out on them because he wants to be with a male!! All of them could have used a Clorox bath!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤢
Josias is too damn disrespectful. He’s to full of himself. He needs to humble himself and watch how he talks to his family. You only get one family and his grandfather is doing his best to help him.
Josias is rude. He doesn’t answer half of Marcus questions, wanting to listen to music when he clearly said no, and I’ve never really heard him say a full “Thank you” in general.
I don't blame Josius, he's probably sick of Marcus's interrogations/interviewing/lecturing, it's too much! He just wanted to chill in the back with his dog, for once he wasn't all hyped up!!! I don't condone his rude behavior, but it goes both ways!!! Hopefully, when or if Josius gets a clean head, he can Thank Marcus!
I hope this the end Josia! I helped a young man off the streets too & he ended right back outside. I'll hate to see you back in ATL for a 3rd time. Get well soon young man, the people want you back home and safe for good
That's not what I'd be worried about. If that bus station is near a bad neighborhood then someone needs to be there as soon as he gets off, or he'll end up doing the same 💩 up there as he's doing down here. I'm glad he'll be around his people though.. At least he stands a chance. Plus cudos for Marcus for sending him home. It's the right thing to do..If his azz ends up back in Atlanta by next week we gone hold.Marcus to that azz whooping he promised him.😂💯
@@divineintervention212that's what the OP was eluding to. He is safer and has support in Columbus. We don't want to see him back in Atlanta any time soon. Of course there is still concern about him getting access to drugs at the gas station and anywhere else up there. But the point is getting him close to his support system/family. He can't do it (stay off drugs, get tx for mental health, and get off the streets) without support and lots of love!
Yea, I believe Josias wanted to leave because the cops could be on him. I don't blame Ebony for not wanting him back. It's time for Josias to give Batman up for adoption to a good home. Let's cross our fingers and hope Josias hasn't left any babies behind. His dad needs to just reach out to Greyhound for the ETA.
I don’t blame her I would not want him around me for one his mental health is all over the place. He is hyper sexual I wouldn’t trust him around my children nor myself .
@@debbie510 you don’t know what you’re talking about. Not only is my career in animal behavior but Ive watched that mongrel try to attack several dogs on camera AND Josiah’s SAID Batman was barking at actual working dogs and snapping at people in the hospital that he had no business being in. He’s a typical bully breed with high prey drive and is a liability, much like his owner.
I can't wrap my head around why they keep dumping adult responsibilities on Josias. He really needs a thorough evaluation. It's crystal clear that he doesn't possess the mental capacity to meet the expectations placed on him by his family and others. This situation is so infuriating because I've been following his story from the beginning, and all I can see is a repetition of the same mishandling he likely endured as a child, without the continuous help and resources he needed. While it's admirable to want to treat people normally despite their issues or mental health challenges, we often overlook what their brain chemistry and functions inhibit them from doing or comprehending. That's precisely why trying to "hold him accountable" seems futile. No matter how knowledgeable or talented someone is in certain areas, it doesn't negate what they lack and what's necessary for them to function like an average adult. As I've grown older, I've learned to focus on the root causes rather than just the surface issues, and I've come to understand that multiple truths can coexist simultaneously. I sincerely hope he finds someone who can genuinely influence him or guides him to a qualified mental health professional capable of assessing and aiding him. Otherwise, this cycle may sadly continue, and we might witness his downfall right before our eyes. 😢
It really feels like you've overlooked quite a few things and have made a choice to think negatively with your degrees. Are you a psychiatrist? Is Marcus? But all you can see is something negative from your couch, complaining about something you're not even half way doing for anyone. Why keep watching if all you can't see the good? Why waist your time? I don't watch things over and over just to disagree.
@@stephaniejames4940Everyone has a right to their opinion. I don’t understand why you people get so upset when other’s have an opinion about something.
@stephaniejames4940 What an ugly and condescending comment you made above. They made a valuable and thorough review of the situation and stated their opinion. People don't have to provide their resume. I happen to agree with them wholeheartedly. Especially the part about root cause being the issue that should be addressed. Addiction counselors always focus on root causes and triggers. Just because you may not know or understand things, doesn't mean other people do not... Edit: You should read her reply to your comment instead of being rude.
@stephaniejames4940 1. What did I over look? 2. What was negative about what I said? Or is the observation of the negatives in his situation? 3. How can problems ever be addressed if the negatives are not identified and properly addressed? 4. What's positives about the ball being dropped during his childhood? What's positive about NOT addressing mental issues and NOT having access to support? 5. What are the positive aspects of his behavior? There's nothing "positive" about his current situation, but I don't hold him responsible for it. The real positive is that he has someone like Marcus who shows him love and compassion, acting as a big brother. Another positive is his grandfather's willingness to support and love him. Additionally, his happy demeanor, piano talent, and decent singing skills are strengths, though his overall situation is far from ideal. 6. What degrees do I hold? I don't hold any degrees, but I am a certified life coach with my personal development brand. Interestingly, I'm planning to return to school soon with the goal of obtaining a doctorate in psychology due to my passion for personal development and mental health. I've faced mental and developmental challenges that had a significant impact on my younger years and led to some less-than-ideal experiences in adulthood until I found the right resources. 7. I genuinely empathize with Josias and others in his situation. I can't be entirely upset with him because his childhood experiences left much to be desired, leading to the current situation. I firmly believe he can still be helped, but it's crucial to place him in a supportive environment; otherwise, the consequences could be severe. 8. I continue to follow his story with the hope that he'll find the right environment and start on a positive path. I understand that you might not have watched all his interviews or studied development extensively. The real change won't happen until the root causes are addressed. While his life seems to be heading in a negative direction, I want to reiterate that I genuinely hope and pray he finds someone who can influence him positively or guide him to a qualified mental health professional who can assess and assist him. Otherwise, this painful cycle might persist, and we could witness his decline right before our eyes. 😢
This guy Josiah is running because he knows that cougar woman that he threw something at is coming back for revenge & guess what? It sure won’t be pretty. He’s such a liar & definitely not accountable for his actions. This guy is in need of some serious mental help. He also needs to get medical help for those big nodules on the back of his neck. I pray his grandparents will be able to get him the help that’s really needed.
While Marcus is grilling Josias about being violent with all the ladies. Somebody needs to be grilling Marcus about being so nasty and wanting everybody he interview deepest darkest sexual details no matter how traumatizing they may be. Why Marcus why you so nasty and desperate to know these things?? Why? Just be truthful
Josius' grandfather "does not" want Josius in his house! The grandfather stated that Josius will have to stay at a Hotel for $250.oo per week, and that they definitely "Don't Want" Batman! Josius has to call his father to pick him up from the Greyhound bus stop, in Ohio. After ALL the terrible things that Josius has done and said, I don't blame his grandfather!
He is still using you for whatever he can . I don try like putting things in the air but he not going to go or he will be back less then a week because he don't want to fallow rules and keep his big mouth shut and if you can't take care of your self how you going to take care of a animal please make sure you got a one way ticket for him and don't answer his calls when he call for you to buy him a ticket back
Marcus so worried about views he hasnt bought him any clothes or shoes just food,shower and a hair cut smh. Could've at least let him bathe before he got on the bus so he is clean when his family see him some mentor you are... I. Would've told josius if you don't make it to your destination I'm not dealing with you anymore but I forgot it's for views like his mom said you could've took him to a program to get clean take that boy to get tested since you wanna ask personal questions that your doing nothing about
Especially a bath with riding on this bus and sitting beside people. You see how Marcus lied to girl and said she was in the view while filming Josias? Which was a damn lie that girl wasn't nowhere insight.
Why couldn’t his mom taken him? His mom not once showed up for him other than the interviews she did with marcus now she’s interviewing with someone else bashing marcus saying he’s doing too much when she hasn’t made effort to do nothing . I agree marcus could have let him get clean before he left
Thanks Marcus for all you did to help this young man if God forbid I ever have a love one out there lost, that God will put someone like you in their pathway 🙏 and love to you
Say what you want about Marcus but I commend him for the things he does for Josias. He’s clearly not in the right headspace and has his own issues but Marcus still chose to be a good role model and tries to push him in the right direction. Anyone who has dealt with a loved one on the streets knows that everything you say goes in one ear and out the other. They have to choose to want to leave the streets and all the bullshit behind. Thanks for at least giving Josias a voice and trying to help him get home… so many judgmental people in these comments when they know damn well they would walk right past people like Josias in the streets!
I agree with you, Marcus is planting good seeds in josias’s head that josias will continue to think about in the future. He has been a light in this young man’s life and for that Marcus is a good man to me, I don’t care what anyone says.
Mmm Marcus is preveted and money hungry he could be low key irritated Josiah decided to leave and start over no more content for him because I'm sure them grandparents about to stop all that that's why it's playing out the way it is
My exacts thoughts. They will find fault as if Marcus is the reason Josias is out there. Not understanding Josias has to want to be off the streets. They feel that Marcus should do what the parents and grandparents haven't been able to.
I am shocked that there's women out here who would mess with a mentally handicapped person like Josias. Josias have a brain of 6 year old that throws a tantrum when things dont go his way. We live in a world were people standards are low. For the women who's dealing with lil dude just know your dealing with a person who's delayed and has zero accountability for his actions. I hope Josias stay out of Atlanta and to stay somewhere with a shelter over his head if he don't want to live with his parents.
After Josius said ALL those "Terrible, Sexual Desires" that he has for his father's girlfriend, Josius father's girlfriend says "He definitely can not stay at his father's house!' Josius' grandfather and father decided to put him in a $250.oo a week hotel instead. They are hoping that Josius' father will show up and pick Josius up at the Greyhound, Bus Stop!
Marcus should NOT have continued with that interview and ASKING questions regarding his feelings towards the girlfriend. I salute her, Josias needs tough love
Right at the 10:00 mark,he's already talking about coming back in a couple months after Christmas 😂😂😂 And I believe thats exactly whats he's planning to do if he even makes it home this time.
I’ve come to realize that Marcus means well as I assumed, he just has a different approach. The effort is more than many in the comment section can admit to keep going Marcus!
Marcus I know you get harsh criticism at times but none of us is perfect. I want to thank you so much for all the help and strong mentoring you have given to Josius. What is clear is that you genuinely care about Josius. The reasons why you care do not matter one bit to me. You have established the kind of relationship with J where we all know that when he is ready for rehab, he will know to call you. Thats what really matters. You have been such a good role model to him. You have planted so many beautiful seeds that will grow over time. Im glad it is documented along with the comment section so he can go back and watch it. Those seeds will be watered with every video or view he sees. You did your best and for that I am so grateful. I hope that you will allow yourself a few days for self care and time with your girls. These situations are heavy for me to watch and I can only imagine what it's like to be in your shoes. Its time for you to settle your mind and recover. Let me apologize for all of those that have came at you hard, giving you little grace. All in all the facts are that you have poured into Josius, established trust, and encouraged this broken young man. Thank you for all you have done for Josius and allowing us to take witness. God bless you. Shay ❤
This is straight up ignorance. It's sad because you helping someone with mental health issues is criticized yet kids kill each other and you see people protecting them. Keep doing what you do and don't listen to these ignorant people, it would be like the blind leading the blind.
That key part is him being bisexual and not being able to live in his truth fully, definitely can be a reason he is violent with women. The overly sexualize of women and continue to holler and talk about them every moment as if he is trying to prove his manhood. He already said how his father feels about that and I wouldn’t be shocked if the rest of his family don’t accept it either. He has a lot of anger built inside.
Yup once he grows and gets past this he’s gonna take care of Marcus at older age for sure he’s gonna hold Marcus down! I believe that!! Once he’s in a clear head!! ❗️✨🫂

Josiah I’m praying for you young man - please get yourself together and take care of that dog. You are worthy and loved. Turn your life around- blessings to you.
People can value their items regardless of cost. I wouldn't want a flea infested dog in my car or house either! And I had a dog for 14 years and love it as apart of the family. It got bathed and groomed very often! I almost wouldn't want Josiah in my car. To be real about it!!!
I don't understand why nobody wants batman in their car ? Batman is such a well behaved dog he doesn't even bark. All batman does is lay down and relax.
Some people just DON"T want a dog in their car, regardless of what they are driving! That Batman dog has been sleeping on the streets filled with urine spit and feces!
@@toyita4431 I get where you're coming from. Although, ole boy said, no dog in the car. He didn't say, no unclean dog in the car. There is a difference. My point being... why let a dog be a obstacle to the road of recovery for a person that you claim to love? Family always claim they love you until it is time to show and prove.
Just because he’s violent with women does not mean he has issues with his mom. Maybe he just has an abusive personality because of his mom and Dad and like most abusive men…it’s easier to prey on people that are weaker (women and children).
he was a very small child when his mother went to prison and his father said Josius had a good life growing up, i think his father had to teach him tough love as a teen due to Josius acting out at home and school and his father being an american brother not knowing that he should’ve gotten his offspring some help early on an no i don’t think that help should’ve came from someone who doesn’t look like them. me personally i think Josius is his own person an has his own anger issues that result from himself only
Bye Josias It's better that we don't see you again! Go with your family get the help that you need and maybe years down the road you can watch these foolish videos and realize what a buster you were and i wish you all the best
Marcus have you done mental health first aid? I recommend it if you haven't. It helped me understand how to talk to people dealing with that and different ways to support them
