Life as a Quadruple Amputee 

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching Tuli 😊

If your baby has high fever you need to take them to the hospital ASAP.

Valken she did, she did take her to the hospital ASAP. Meningitis moves through the body with absolutely terrifying speed, if you have never actually watched it take hold of a person yourself you have no idea. It is a 48 hour thing or less. The mother did absolutely everything she could.

Essentially if the baby survived the mom's a damn hero.

NorthernLight did you miss the part where she actually did take the baby to the hospital a couple hours later? What is wrong with you and why are you so hellbent on blaming this woman? Does it make you feel like a bigger person somehow?

A lot of 11 and 12 year old girls have reached puberty. It's fairly common, though the downside is it sometimes makes it easy for others to not realise they're still just kids inside.

Moriah Ingram-Gallegly 2017 she is 13.

Moriah Ingram-Gallegly dirty mind shut up ☝ an have a bit of a respect

Emmaoh, I've been reading your obnoxious comments. What's wrong with YOU? The comments made about Charlotte seem to me to be innocent. They're commenting that she doesn't look to be 11 or 13. She does look older than that, right? They are being respectful. Why are you accusing all these people of having a "dirty mind" or being perverts? It seems to me that you're the one with a dirty mind!

Rick Hilton Thsnk you, something with common sense

Thanks for watching Heather and your lovely words 😊

Heather Junker your mom is a brave, brave woman. I hope she knows how fierce she is.

Your mom is a rockstar and my hero

@@elizabethhansen2889 Thanks, Elizabeth. She is my hero too.

@@pinkmonkeybird2644 Thanks. She is a fighter that's for sure. I am very proud of her.

Thanks for watching Nexus! hope you enjoyed the episode

be nice, you dont knjw enough..and womens bodies are diferent, and she is basically a torso where those men havve more..

She is!, thank you very much, sir -The Charlotte

TheFoxandTheRabbit maybe she needs more fitness... and I agree mama should back off a bit. Charolette needs to find her own grove.

JAchica11 exactly

JAchica11 What do you mean? She IS letting them help her become self sufficient.

I kind of want to smack her mom in the face she is so negative and it affects Charlotte so much. She needs to stop dubthing her daughter and start suporting her. Maby this film one sided but it makes her mother sound like a selfish asshole -__-.

hypnotherapy69 if u watch all of her videos on RU-vid u will see there times her mum pushes her and try’s to make her do things with Charlotte fighting her the whole way and her dad too, she even took her to America for 3 weeks to try different postetics for her legs and one of her arms and Charlotte cry’s and fights her the whole time, that’s why her mum looks so worn out for her age she’s constantly trying to push her to do things but I know what u mean when her mum uses the excuse of her tendons were cut it makes it harder for her, and that’s why I think the other Cameron bought the other guy Cameron along too because one of them was born with no limbs and the other one wasn’t so he knows what Charlotte is going thru and together they’ve managed to get her to do more, she will get better as she gets older too, young kids sometimes get lazy and give up easily but she will become more determined as she gets older and hopefully give her mum a break her mum needs one xxx

I agree somewhat. Not that she (mom) doubts Charlotte. In fact , she's her biggest supporter. However , I do feel as though the guilt she harbors tends to make her want to "baby" Charlotte continuously. Which is definitely not helping anyone. She needs to let go of the guilt. None of what happened is her fault. I hope she seeks some psychological help. For her own well being, as well as Charlottes. I wish them all strength and continued support. And much love ❤❤

If you have watched other documentaries of Charlotte, her mom is the exact opposite. She pushes Charlotte to be independent and has fought for years to get Charlotte to wear Prost.

Thanks for your kind words Aish! Hope you enjoyed the episode!

Thanks for watching ! Hope you enjoyed!

Thanks Alyssa, they sure are great mentors!

Attitude Cool video really touches my heart ❤️ I am really close friends with Charlotte. And we skype ALOT

Attitude wow amazing 💓 I'm a new subscriber

Thanks for watching Susan, hope you enjoyed!

She’s actually been extremely emotionally and physically abusive. I’m her daughter.

Thanks for watching Bolbi!Hope you enjoyed our channel!

Thanks for watching Cathiiannii, hope you enjoyed!

Thanks for watching Peruvian Ninja!

Peruvian Ninja

It helps that they’re also really cute 😂

Praying for you

Her mom needs support. Where is the dad? She has an unbelievable burden and she is doing her best.

K V I strongly disagree. She PUTS the burden on herself, she babies the hell out of Charlotte. She doesn’t make Charlotte do anything herself. Charlotte seems like a spoiled brat. Maybe she should have gotten her vaccinated,then she never would have lost her limbs to begin with.

None of Your business the vaccine wasn’t available at the time. The vaccine became available in New Zealand after charlottes experience BECAUSE of Charlotte. Yes she lost limbs but she has saved lives

jessica adams wrong! The vaccine has been available in New Zealand since 2004. She could have gotten it. Her mother opted out

None of Your business Charlotte was born in 2003. Likely that she was born before the cutoff date like I was and would have had to pay out of pocket if I didn’t go to a school which was at high risk for having the illness. Or that she was too young to receive the vaccine at the time she got sick. Too many variables to consider here really.

Thanks for watching Envy West

I don’t hate the mother, but I think she held her daughter back quite a bit. My mom was so much less protective and that pushed me to be as independent as possible. I had to figure out life as a paraplegic on my own and it gave me huge satisfaction to be successful in the end. There’s a difference between being protective and being stifling. It wasn’t so much the doing up seatbelts and picking her up into the car; it was the making excuses for every time Charlotte said she couldn’t do something that was damaging. That’s stifling.

Ikr? People judge entire lives based off of a 20 minute video.

Thanks for watching Rose!Hope you enjoyed our channel and thank you for your kind words!

it is hard but it needs to be done char wont do it for herself if her mother does everything this is common for people with disabilities the mothers dont let go enough for that kid to develop they get used to the kid being dependant on them my sister is same way.

Thank you for watching isax!

It was a fascinating watch especially since I'm a menginitis survivor myself. I'm blessed to have kept all my limbs tho.

Thanks for sharing isax, awesome to hear you enjoyed 😀

@@AttitudeLive not hard on the eyes though either!

And his looks help too. He’s gorgeous.

Seiko Shinohara Her mom needs to not baby her it will only hinder her and it probably tires the mom out. I say this having Spina Bifida and a mother who still tries to hover and baby me at 31 but when I lost my leg I put an end to it. It is understandable but not healthy for anyone invovled. Moms deserve their own time, things, headspace if I fall it is not the end of the world and I was up and walking on my prosthetic the first day I got it.

Seiko Shinohara corpse party ayw

Allison Scheirer ....you are SOOO right! Her mother needs to stop making excuses for her and babying her. As a mom I understand the desire and "need" to do everything for your child and "protect" them but she is in fact hindering her child's ability to learn the necessary life skills she needs to be independent!

Seiko Shinohara She isn't depressed she is just exhausted. I am really close friends with Charlotte we skype a lot

Seiko Shinohara the mum is probably depressed because the girls amputation was because of a disease that could have been avoided with a vaccination but she decided not to vaccinate her baby

Thank you for watching Eileen! Hope you enjoyed!

She's literally better at everything than I am

How is everyone better at anything physical than I am

Thanks you for sharing and hope you enjoyed the episode!

junbh2 anythig is possible. One i saw runs like the famous amputee

junbh2 Great points. There is a higher energy cost to walk with a prosthetic. Also, just like a person who wears contact lenses should have backup prescription eyeglasses, I would think that a lower limb amputee should have a wheelchair. Perhaps Charlotte and her mom could find the video of the guy who ports his own kayak and kayaks independently. Ultimately, it is up to her. I may watch professional athletes and admire their skill, but it doesn't mean that I want that for myself. Yet, daily living is something we all must go through....

Thank you for watching Josie 😊

Agreed

Thanks for watching Janet!

Janet Donald so thankful someone said this. I put myself in her shoes and imagined this happening to my daughter..I would definitely be at least a little down sometimes, especially during a documentary about it

AMEN. People will be the first to criticize something they have no way of understanding and the last one to offer any support even if it's just a kind word.

Sure, but the mum doesn't give her enough positive encouragement. Every time Charlotte is frustrated, mum doesnt help her through it, mum just gets frustrated herself. Not good.

Kylie Wilson...Yes, her 2 mentors Cameron and Cameron are beautiful! Their kind spirits show through and make them even more beautiful!

Elaine Warren 😊

And Kylie, I loved your comments to Charlotte and your sassy words about Cameron...smile

Elaine Warren Thanks Elaine I can see the enthusiasm in young Charlotte's eyes she is bright and eager and has a thrist for life and I know she will do well at anything she puts her mind to . As for Cameron well he is a bit of eye candy and I am pretty sure he has that special gift that he can inspire anyone especially the ladies LOL good for him . Charlotte is lucky to have both Camerons as role models on her team because they can empathize with her and relate to any struggles she may have that an able person wouldn't have experienced .

Kylie Wilson...Sassy, caring and intelligent! Nice to read positive comments like yours.

Thanks for watching Saraify!

Thanks for watching Dalesteer! Hope you enjoyed!

Elizabeth Adams it makes all the difference for kids to see by example by others who could move forward in life with the challenges

Juli-Yashka I know that's the sad thing :( every time we skype she says other people look good and she is ugly. But it is just self confidence and it part of growing up. Kinda

She is beautiful!!!

Thans for the continuous support Rashidah!

Thanks for your kind words Brittany!

Thanks for your feedback Allison, hope you enjoyed the episode!

Allison Scheirer

That’s good information to know..

Thanks for watching Sonia!

We will have to pass that on!

which Cameron do you mean?

mindyschocolate lmaooo 😭

mindyschocolate Au

mindyschocolate she's 11 nigga🤣

JAchica11 hi, this is Charlotte on my bfs account. Shes not stopping me from anything. Shes just beong my mother. Shes done so much for me. You just havent seen behind the scenes

TheGamingBadger Whyyyy are you faking

TheGamingBadger She cant even type...(not being rude i think She is a great strong person)

Consider that her friend could be typing for her, she could be using voice-to-text or a device to help her type.

AliciaLand Oh I didnt think about that I feel really stupid right now and im sorry I accused her...

We will see what we can do!

Yes please!! Those 2 are f.ing anazing. Docu series please

Absolutely. Awaiting this. 2 selfless young fellows helping this young girl.

🥰

natalie emtage because people don't have to like it just because she doesn't have arms & legs lmao.

+aquia80 Wow, I didn't hear any resentment towards her daughter at all. Maybe a little resentment towards doctors and mentors telling her she's not pushing her daughter enough, or protectiveness towards people saying her daughter is being lazy, not not towards her daughter.

Charlotte and her mother are amazing. Fullstop. Compassion and sweetness go a long way in this world. Both these people are lovely. It cant be easy on either of them but our family believe in them and find them delightful people. Much love always

Thanks for that sparks7769, we are glad to see you enjoying our videos!

Dalester1979 what 11year old doesn't take their mom for granted. But like the camerons say she will come forward, and when she sees the independance of the guys and how they sort of get it it on both her and her moms perspective, and she will always have more challenges than most, but she puts the effort in where she can

Thanks for watching Guys!

Thanks for watching Agatha Leon, hope you enjoyed!

Straight up sass

PsychoKitty사랑 oh this is so easy, yeah for her because she's babied too much

its easy for her just to sit and theres and guy with no arms and legs freakin carrying her fat ass up some stairs

PsychoKitty사랑 hey this is char on my bfs account. I was thinking that too XD

She's got close to the worse kind of amputation - above the knee, both legs, AND she has no hands to use crutches or to catch herself when she falls on her face. Why do you think she 'should' be walking? From everything I've heard of her type of disabilities, it seems like it's actually really normal for learning to walk to be very difficult for her. I don't know what percentage of double above the knee amputees learn to walk well on prosthetics even with arms... Some do, some don't, from what I can see.

I believe the mother is holding her back. I understand being a parent and wanting to take the burden of pain off of our children. But mom has to let go and allow her daughter to fail and learn. I always tell my son, failing is never a bad thing. It teaches us to do the right thing the next time around. From failure comes knowledge! 💆🏻‍♀️💕🧐 Mom is just to protective and needs to allow her daughter the freedom to find her own groove. I wonder if she is worried about the boys around her daughter.

+Fluffy Unicorn No, I don't think that's what they meant.

She's 11

JAchica11 she looks 20 something

Thanks for watching Katan!Hope you enjoyed our channel!

Charlotte is pretty incredible!

Great kid

100% i know

It is a lot of pressure for the mum too, both she & Charlotte would benefit from someone else helping her.

Agreed. I have all my limbs, but my parents are still overprotective by loving me too much. :D ❤️✌🏽️

Kajun Means Seasoned Not Hot! Hey this is charlotte on my bfs account. The thing is my mother is protecting me like mothers do. Shes not holding me back, shes just doing her job and shes doing it right.

Her mum is doing a great job. She loves her girl and that is her life, and she’s going it on her own.

Mag Nificent. Hahah I thought she was 25-30

Mag Nificent yeah I thought she was the same age as the other guys skydiving

Mag Nificent I thought she was 20 at least.

Mag Nificent she is 13

How dare I say what most everyone who views this video is thinking? I'm an honest woman, that's why I "dare"

Actually it was Charlotte who denied to do exercises because it would hurt. Have a look at the older videos on her to see. Her mum knew she had to push her more. But what to do with a child in constant meltdown state?

It's really hard for a parent to watch there child in pain. It is especially hard to push them through the pain. On top of that it strains the mother/daughter relationship. That's what physical therapy is for. I think a break for the mother would also help a lot.

+Charell H Yes, there are long term downsides to a parent trying to force a child to endure pain when they're too young to understand what it's for and why the parent is doing that to them, too. It's a difficult situation for a parent to find themselves in. Or even for a physiotherapist, but at least that's better.

Mary Poppins I think with the two mentors around, she will learn little details and learn it is the right thing to encourage walking and why.. those men are a gift to mum and daughter..

I agree she was amputated as a baby she should be doing alot more stuff by herself the mom has done way too much that's y she looks so old and defeated she needs to let go a lil

Thanks for your support Mario! 😀

soon ☺️

YES!
