As A Teenage Prostitute Out There In Those Streets I Had To Learn The Hard Way. I'm In My Thirties Now, And I Learned Alot. I Don't Ever wanna go back out there. It's wicked in them streets. Only reason I'm here today Is Because Of GOD And JESUS CHRIST. PRAYER Changes Things. HALLELUJAH 🙌
You better know it God will deliver I was in the streets doing drugs my boyfriend was a dealer. I heard God call my name to this day he think I am crazy but won't he do it 35 years drug free. I was 28 when God rescued me.
Ik exactly what you mean I was too for a few years and now u can’t pay me to do that again I have a 17 year old daughter and my life is so much better now I’m married and I have my family back but God did all of that for me so thanks goes to God idk u but I’m so proud of you ❤❤❤
@@DorothyHudson-xh5ni same here my husband was my dealer and now we don’t miss it at all and idk u either but I’m so happy and proud of you congratulations ❤❤❤
Go even deeper...you have to think about your life even before you even have kids and recognize thst every action in your life will have some impact on the kids you ever get to have
There’s ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS two sides to every story!!!!!! Edit: If she knew the dad couldn’t hold a job WHY in the world leave both babies and take the charge? Some people make stupid choices out of “love”.
Long story short, Josiah’s is clearly not a victim. He’s made a string of poor choices in his life and continues to make them. I noticed that’s why he seems to lie a lot the lying as a defense mechanism to avoid accountability and responsibility.
She telling all the holes in his story......things are making more sense now. Josias grandparents had no control over him and wasnt making sure he took his medication. The father's girlfriend didnt want him around either. Her fault for trusting James and taking that charge though. That was the beginning of the end
Right! Healing from trauma is difficult. I could tell from the first Josias video. I hope in the future you'll respect boundaries! Just because someone is housing insecure doesn't mean they don't deserve respect
Unfortunately once we’re an adult we can’t blame our parents doing anymore. Now a reason absolutely. I work with addicts and it’s always the same story, trauma. But as an addict we’ve got to own that trauma and flip it into our sobriety.
We, The State, The Federal government needs to start boarding schools and junior colleges for the orphans and for those children who has mentally sick parents - parents to ill to care for them in which Creating more jobs and less violence.
I'm getting young girl having babies, thinking she was in love with the (DBD) dead beat dad 🤷🏾♀️ Please stop bringing children into this world if your not ready to take care of them 😢 all children deserve the best that life has to offer them. I didn't have a parents manual but in the end, I raised 3 by myself. You have to nurture and raise the children to be productive in this world. Marcus, ain't nobody taking in a person that doesn't want to do the right thing for themselves or steals. You have to help you and if you don't know how to go about it, start praying. Josias, need Jesus and rehab and some mental wellness care.
That’s why Josiah is so close to his grandparents, he talks highly of them it takes a village, I pray they can put aside any problems or issues and band together to get Josiah the help he needs 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
@@RacieRainRight and I'm praying for his healing as well...he is grown now and the parents can't get blamed forever...he has got to make up in his own mind to get things right in his life as a man.
Wait! How are you mentally ill and hard headed! To be hard headed implies that he’s in full control of his mental faculty and he is being stubborn. Mental illness is not having full control of one’s mental capacity unless assisted with medication. So, which is it? Is he hard headed or mentally ill?
The fact that both of his parents failed him as a child then soon as he turn 18 they washed they’re hands as if they did their job! However I do believe there is (some) truth to her story. I remember in one of Josias earlier interviews he resented his dad because his dad used to tell him his mom was D3@d . I’m still praying for josias to overcome these life obstacles 😢🙏🏽
there’s this predominant notion in A LOT Black communities & homes that at 18 u have the tools, u’r equip to navigate the world & all of its complexities. a lot of us also know this just ISN’T true. the failure started way b4 18. 18 was just the legal way for the parents to wash their hands of him & liability. 🤦🏾♂️
@@jackiewilliams7876 Right! he keeps interrupting. I hate when people do that. I feel like the person they are asking the questions to will get irritated and stop talking lol
What mother is gonna take anyone's charges and volunteer to take herself out of her child's life? Especially her young child? There are huge holes in this story.
@@happyface3216 a young mother who recently broke up with the child's father and who also has an issue with his new girlfriend and his family...also claiming to know the father has his own mental issues? Nah...
Yea it’s hard to believe any of them. They all seem to be clout chasing and this is just a reality show and we all know reality shows are scripted. Nobody wants to take responsibility and blaming the other. I’m just over all of them atp.
The mom doesn’t seem to understand how her absence in his life affected him profoundly. Dad may have issues but he did show up when she chose not to or was unable to. Many ex-addicts have this mentality, they just can’t be real with themselves.
So Josias was telling the truth about going to school in Atlanta. He probably just didn’t remember the name of the school since a lot was going on during Covid. That’s when he met Ileana. And the lady who said she was his family was probably telling the truth about being his fam
Good interview, Marcus. It's nice to hear from all parties involved. I pray she has successful surgeries. Now, Josias has to make some hard decisions to get his life together💞💞...
@@jthusanyunfortunately he’s an adult now so it’s only up to him. Let’s suppose his parents never intervene, should he just continue this way? I know from experience that when you are completely abandoned even as a child that no one cares. I had the option to decide to live or die. I chose life. I pray he chooses life as well.🙏🏽 Image how many people living in the streets never got the closure, answers or sorry they needed to heal. And never will.
🧢🧢 I think she's lying about taking a charge to avoid looking like an irresponsible parent. She said she was running schemes to make ends meet. She probably got caught up in her own illegal activities and went to prison.
either way it looks bad... take a charge for a man and leave your kids... be irresponsible to make ends meet.. the ends meet story is better than taking a charge for a man though
This is not a time to be pointing fingers mom. The parents need to work together to figure out how they can help their son. Josiah's health is breaking down. He has a heart condition, and on hard drugs. That's not a good combination. Mom and dad put your difference's aside, and figure out how you guys are going to help your son. He is doing really bad. He needs both of you guys. 🙏🙏🙏
I can tell Josias dad isn’t a good person, he constantly tries to deflect the blame to other people and act like he does nothing wrong and everybody else is lying
This is an example of why you do not interfere in family issues, you’re not qualified, nor have the requisite skill set to counsel and assist in referring to appropriate services. Asking invasive personal questions are to be private and not broadcast for listening public on an internet platform.
And I noticed he likes to talk about himself a lot this whole situation is about Josiah’s but when Marcus talks with him he constantly be me me me me I believe he’s lying on this woman and brainwashing Josiah’s with negativity about his mom
Finally!!! With the way Josias lies you would've thought this woman had no teeth in her head, on a corner somewhere lookin just as crazy as he be actin.
Working with addicts it’s super common. It’s not always actually rarely is it the stigma the media produces lol. Like the Jason Vorhees movie in New York they had the big bad junkies in the alley shooting up in leather jackets etc in the 1980s “bad boy” clothing…. It’s a stigma :( addiction can get all of us from the worst, best, loving, hateful backgrounds. It knows no race, no finances, no community, no gender it just knows how to feed on trauma and mental health issues.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Completely true. He has been mentally abandoned. At 3yrs old his mother is gone. How do you expect him to act. We have to put all our support for this boy. He is still a boy. Not completely his fault.
Right sound like both parents need to put they differences aside and both go to atl TOGETHER and sit down with they child and love on him without arguing fighting or non sense. Shit make him miss y’all cus clearly y’all barley miss him. If it wasn’t for atl interviews putting y’all on blast he wouldve been a lost cause and yo excuse would be cus he’s on drugs smh.
It's sad both parents were absent for the major parts of his childhood there are people in the same situation and not end up homeless on the streets. The biggest challenge is he doesn't take his required medication but smokes crack. The mother is correct if he refuses to go when she offers to get him off the streets more than once, that's all she can do. Drug addicts feel safest on drugs and that's where Josias is. It's sad because he appears to have musical talent but relies on drugs rather than it and the prescription medication he needs to take. Everyone's life has a story, some need to rise above their story and some don't. Unfortunately, Josias has a story he needs to rise above.
The father wasn't any good either. Stop blaming the mother. James isn't the dad he betrayed. These parents are the reason their son doesn't want to come home. I been saying this.
RU-vidrs get paid more when they upload multiple videos instead of an hour long video. If he upload an hour video most viewers are going to skip some parts which he doesn’t get paid for.
She SAID she took a hit for the father... that might not be 100% true. Given what she is saying surrounding the circumstances at that time, she may have taken a hit for something she got caught for. James may have had a level of involvement, but she may have been th primary subject.
I’d bet it all she lives in Atlanta. Sometimes subconsciously we can’t lie. She said “Here in Atlanta” then shortly after she said she “CAME back” to Atlanta instead of WENT back. one time could be a mistake… but twice in less than 5 minutes? I’m not buying it.
Now wait...some of these numbers are off. If the brother is 8 years older than Josius, and she was imprisoned until Josius was 14, then there is no way she got out and fought for custody of the older child. I know I heard her say that she got custody of the older brother first, then Josius. The brother would've been around 22, no?
He could’ve been living with family at 22 and she went and got him from the family house to reunited with her since it is easier then going to court cause he’s an adult
He didn't say house he said car. Only so much you can steal in a car if the owner is with you. I can definitely believe the stealing because dependencies needs to be fed, addiction is very hard to beat and it doesn't matter if you have respect for the person or not as someone else has said because that is under normal circumstances but when you need what you need you do anything to get it. But I agree it was still nice of Marcus to say so for his mum and I'm sure it's true.
I believe his Mom. She probably was doing the best she could and he was acting out and started hanging around the wrong people. I’m still praying for him and I’m praying for his mom as well.
I do too. Her story makes more since. There is a specific time line. She is not stammering over her words. Josias' father's story never really made since to me. I'm still praying Josias gets the help he needs. I pray he finds it within to understand our parents are human and super humans who make mistakes. So he can heal and shake off all the hurt, abandonment, and pain he feels
She can be telling the truth on why she gave up on Josias but also she wasn’t even there his whole life lol it’s probably easier for her to let him go than the daddy.. when u don’t have a relationship with a person why would he listen to her or wanna be around her idk. Let’s not forget there’s 3 sides to the story her the daddy and they baby boy
And I’m dealing with my brother who’s 23, that’s an addict it’s not easy.. My mom went to Mississippi to get him cause of his girlfriend this shit not easy
People need to understand that many of the homeless are dealing with mental illness and this young man is one of those people. It is important for them to take their meds and when they don't it's hard for anyone to reason with them and being that Josias is legally an adult there is not much his mom can do to keep him off the streets if that is where he chooses to be.
I agree. If she didn’t know she made mistakes or wasn’t ready to face them, she would not be doing this. People pointing them out is not necessary. She knows! She’s not in the same place today. We all learn, grow and mature.
Josiah dad is a manipulator, everything Josiah says about his mom I’m 70% sure his dad told him to make him hate his mom and turn against his mom.. Which is why Josiah didn’t want to go with his dad and had some kind of hate towards his father too . I pray that Josiah’s get his life together and give hisself a chance to be great and do great . Before it’s to late happy the mom is able to tell her side .
Hopefully the kid does have a fair chance honestly But you my friend are a fool Being a victim can be addictive nobody really likes to take accountability or blame especially for something embarrassing
Wow she is Josiah's mom I'm not judging her but as for me I wouldn't have took a charge knowing I have a child to raise he would been the only thing on my mind
Man fr from a person that has been on the streets i love and respect what u are doing❤. Just a lil help can go along way. You a good person respect bro
I believe every word this woman is saying. Marcus keep taking up for Josiah and his dad LMAO the two that has been diagnosed with mental illness. Mom can’t be to bad. Courts give her her sons back after incarceration
And she went to prison with a baby at home. 🙄 I don't give a damn how much you care about your man your child comes first. Plus there isn't even any proof that she's telling the truth about taking the.charge.
The truth of the matter is that when you have a child that’s of legal age it’s very difficult to impose your will on them especially when they’re caught up in addiction, if he doesn’t want to change there’s not much anyone can do… tbh Josias hasn’t hit his bottom yet hopefully when he does he’ll still have people willing to help him get back up 🙏🏽
Me too ppl will always try to pock apart their story but unless you been in her shoes you can't judge Josisa has to take accountability for his actions him and my son the same age and I could never see him on the streets like this I wouldn't be able to sleep it would drive me crazy.
For my man… I know y’all watched the show, a lot of women take their Boyfriends/Husbands charges this woman seems like she wants to be a good mother but due to the circumstances messed up her situation I know a lot of females who too drug charges for their baby daddies and had family taking care of their kids
I'm so glad he interviewed this lady,Josias and his dad painted her out to be a bad mom. This lady might not be perfect but I believed her story and it seems to add up more than thiers. Best of luck to her with her health 💕
I believe her too but Marcus act like he's with the Dad more then with her,she stated while she was away Josias was with his great grandparents and Josias's father still wasn't in his life and Marcus gon say....OH BUT HE WAS YOUNG AND JUST TRYING TO ESTABLISH HIMSELF but Josias's mother corrected Marcus real quick and said no,he just put another woman before his son!!
Definitely not believable. So you went to jail and left both your kids, with a guy who wasn't the breadwinner, by your own account. Make it make sense.
She said everybody has been jail🤔🤔🤔🤔 ummmm no everyone has not. I never been in handcuffs a day in my life. It seems that they both may have failed him both mom and dad. Dad just probably helped a little more, but I will not be judgmental. I pray for all parties involved but MOST IMPORTANTLY JOSIAS 🙏🏽❤️
Look in different neighborhoods and different areas we all grow up different everyone where I'm from is dead or I'm jail or has been including myself but I choose better and moved and they stayed and done the same. Where she was from and what not they are probably used to everyone going to jail
@@ezracollins4034Absolutely, that is alot of pressure for one person. Mental health and drug problems is so so complex. Even with the help of a whole loving family, some people can't be saved, I know personally and my family situation isn't even close to being this disfunctional.
Just like James, I’m not feeling her neither……she’s defensive and an eye roller 🙄 and the look on her face just shows she’s looking to blame everyone else and that she doesn’t care about taking accountability
You can be raiser in the best household ever, with the perfect mother and father,which im sure everyone in the comments are. Josiah is on the streets doing drugs, and homeless because its his choice
You have to feel bad!!! This whole family has been exploited to the entire world. For everyone online to give advice etc! It’s a sad day in time man. There’s ways to get someone help…..keeping them in the limelight isn’t one, if anything it’s going to add to the fall
Does anyone know any of their family members or close friends for further clarity cuz this is hard to watch and follow especially bc both the father and his mother seems to perceive the truth due to strong emotions so what actually happened could look very different to a neutral family/loved ones. Either way I pray for grace and healing for all parties involved.
Sure if he wants to come home to a house with nothing in it but stains and used crack pipe stems.🙄 You can't move a damn crackhead into your house with your family. Are you insane ?
No, he has daughters to protect and as much as you want to see him as some teenage run away he is a man; a man with special needs, he needs to be in a facility and drug rehab center.
I think lies have been told on this lady on both sides we all know Josiah’s can tell some whoppers he had to get it from someone Josiah’s has been brainwashed she’s not carrying herself like she’s been portrayed in other interviews from what the father is saying or Josiah’s
