Teenage Runaway-Kristina (follow up) 

I think its the total opposite. She hasn't lived life at all or had any good role models or examples in it to have taught her anything different than what she is doing now. Listen to how she talks about her mom and then herself. Shes doing the same things

Incredibly sad to think about

Scenes That Make Me Laugh and she had a child, really sad

This is non-western culture - wake up

Navyav8r 65 I agree with you

Amy Baigorria-Rembold the best comment and yes, she is a fighter!

I love that about her

Agreed. She's got a lot of beautiful _machisma_ to her and that has in part allowed her to survive, perhaps. It's a lovely, lovely thing to behold. Yet she's also a child. She's a fucking _kid_ . The strength she has covers well the yearning for love and boundaries and stability and safety I think she feels. But it doesn't cover it wholly, does it? Your comments are spot on and she's one of the most self-aware people I've seen on SWU. And that _laugh_ ? It's like Christmas.

Wow, hope Mark interviews you as an example of a way out

I am SO happy to hear you had a way out! Thanks for sharing.

I went to job corps too, I loved it. Im not sure if u can get in w a record tho

Way to go 🤙🏽

I went to job Corp it changed my world!

Often someone's mentality or way of presenting stops progressing at the point when the biggest trauma or drug use hits.

I agree. Very perceptive, insightgul, intelligent.

@@rainb6612 lol. You are doing WAY too much. I see potential in everyone. Or do you know me personally to know that I just walk passed everyone you say I do?

tbh I hate comments like this... It feels more like you just want some cheap likes on the web while giving off a false illusion because she can string sentences and talk coherently enough, to label "there going places".. Being able to interact and express yourself does not mean shit in this world, especially for people like her. Or did you miss the part where she says that normal people see her and judge? Because that line alone has 100% more truth than your bullshit comment. I know numerous of White, Asian and Black etc people with college backgrounds who still can't get the life that they're striving for after years of putting in work at school internships and such... I know numerous people who have legit talent in sports who will still not go anywhere... I have seen so many smart and talented homeless people who can do the Michael Jackson moonwalk and while singing like a top 5 artist in the street corners, and they still end up going nowhere. There's a little thing called STATISTICS!!! Background checks, race, social class, education and numerous of other shit has a role in it... But you think a abandoned MS-13 affiliated who sadly probably has a record is going to make it? This isn't the deep south, people from Cali aren't idiot's.. All you can do is pray, pray and pray some more for her on a nightly basis.. A turn around life for her is getting a 9-5 job, finding a true love who can help split the rent and go from there, it's America, that lifestyle is more easily attainable and realistic for this girl... Right now, fast food joints will call her way after the hs graduates and the people who at least have GED (assuming she doesn't go back to finish school). Don't use this video to try and build up a candy land type of fantasy for some RU-vid "good feel" likes. It's corny and I'm tired of seeing you people type out the same fake blah blah "they will be fine" type of remarks..

@@americangangsterlock1550 lol

Phahhahahaj

She ABSOLUTELY WILL! SHE HAS INCREDIBLE STRENGTH AND WILL!

Amen. God willing in the name of Jesus.

Amen absolutely

@Sara faith is hope. She will do better. U can be a realist without being negative 💕

Agreed. I see her in 10 years being in such a better place, she’s too wise not to turn this around.

Poor kid😥I hope she gets the proper help she needs

I want an update too!

This is the update 🤔..I just got through watching the first one ..🤔🤔

This follow-up was posted a year+ ago. An update would be so appreciated. I hope she’s found safety and love, stability for her young life.

Yeah, I'd also like to know how she is doing now.

Mystic you said it right. How are you doing?

💕

@@EmpressofChrist How are you doing today young lady?

I have hope for Kristina. She is such an interesting person.

No reply yet?

A lot of people do talk about it. But when people try to talk about the system being they generally get shunned by media, news etc because the world is run by psychopaths and believe or not the police even protect these psychopaths so that’s just 1 reason why it’s broken along with many other reasons. The system is broken yes and absolutely disgusting what happens behind closed door you can’t even rely on anything like the police for example.. you really need to save yourself in this age. God bless you and may peace follow you always 💚

The rich have destroyed our society. When a social system breaks down it's almost always because a rich person in a position of leadership made that decision to defund it. Pollution, wage stagnation, climate change, you can fill in the rest.

@@damienholland8103 The rich have not "destroyed our society", the rich are indifferent. The rich are not actively going out trying to make peoples lives miserable and some of the rich donate to different charities that help with various causes as well as the majority of taxes come from the rich that help fund the social programs. Democrats are more to blame then "the rich". It's democrat policies that create poverty and destruction of family which leads to these situations. Democrat policies destroy the family unit, ridicule the church (which could be used for support and teaching of morality), and create a dependence mentality. You could write a hit song tomorrow and become "the rich" and if that happened it would be ridiculous for me to think that you contributed to the "destruction of society".

System? He just did a video of her mother, watch that before you place blame on society.

we are all talking about it

So is mine

Kristina died. Fentanyl overdose…this according to Mark’s paid subscription channel

She died.

OD'ed. One source said it was with her mom. Not sure that the mom was present or that they OD'ed together & if mom is alive or died, too.

@@user-px9nx9pc7k Her mother died too. Uncertain of details. I just know she and her mother od'ed. So sad.

Samantha Gutierrez exactly. She is so young yet already too proud to ask for the help and guidance that she needs. My heart aches for her. Especially now knowing she encounters her crack head mother out there. This poor child.

rain b lol yes...to generate revenue for the programs.

That’s a good idea . Give this program more widespread exposure .

I wrote to Mark & suggested having a peer resource support specialist on site but he has never answered me. We make things happen! I have literally helped over 100 people access treatment, housing, health insurance, cell phones, therapy, etc, etc. And I'm not special, this is what we are trained to do. I wish Mark would see the opportunity in offering this.

I agree. I have years of college education and have only just been able to express myself the way she does. She seems wise beyond her years. I not even sure she is only 16 years old.

Yes, get a paper and pencil in her hand, and let her run with it. She definitely has that talent. She has heart.

I thought the same thing!! I pray she finds help and discovers her talents!!

Yes, she speaks with eloquence

Id greenlight a screen play

Yes queen 🌹

Im happy to hear you made it out and are successful in life! 💜💖

Ez

Her adopted family too

She could get emancipated and then she’d be able to enroll herself in school and apply for other social services. Otherwise as a minor they’d want to just get her back into the system.

they're busy stealing kids from families over nothing

Just so people can see it ain't as easy as people think.mostly all the programs are about getting money.not giving help.for each person that fills a bed(if they are fortunate enough)they get money.its all about money.

the child services are shit everywhere. they do nothing here in the uk too

Bade Green America is a fucked up country for sure.

Is this verified? That's such a shame. Poor young woman.

another commenter stated she was her mother and that she passed away.

She OD

Where is buried or what ? I knew her from school

She sadly passed away

Fentanyl overdose…this according to Mark’s paid subscription channel

@@MH-ds8cb do you happen to know if it said how Faith passed? I was rooting for these 2 young girls. So very sad.

@@hthrFeather she was killed, with three other people. Shooting I remember "Anna Marie Hester, 34, Darius Travon Canada, 31, and Martina Barraza, 33, all of Mojave, and California City resident Faith Leighanne Rose Asbury, 20, were killed Sunday evening, according to the Kern County coroner’s office."

@@mainguyenthanh9189?

Lava Girl so true!!!

Been there

Fact

Her mother should be horsewhipped. I’m sure her mamma had a terrible mother too, but sometimes people have good parents and go bad. 😟 I just want her to be okay 🙏🏾❤️ I want to help.

I have a sister in law who i use to feel like she wasnt all their in her mind and i never knew her lyfestory until recently and boy has has she suffered and her mom failed her but she is doing better now that she is with my bro although he does kind of criticize her i pray my bro will realize what she has been through and stop bc she seems to have low self esteem and she is weak minded at times but ik God will make her stronger in the end .

I thought she looked worse

True

@@edwarddamarto5794 that's really mean..and you're so wrong.

Could be shes dealing with her issues and isnt using substance to numb the pain.

Me too 😔

Yes!

Agree!

If things turned up Good

Can you please keep that shot to yourself

Sooooo how are u today ☺

TraRob-EastSide im going to start college for teaching in September :) had to save a bit of money to start.

Ausi Hipolito congrats ❤️❤️ this is amazing wow

@@prettystonedreviews4870 u taken ur CBEST test yet?

Get into jobcorps. That will give you a trade to learn that you may be interested in, free housing, that program helped me get my diploma

I agree that she’s an amazing speaker, but the fact that she’s had to mature beyond her years is sad. Drugs, abuse, prostitution, homelessness, gang banging, etc. are things that no one (especially a child) should ever go through, yet she’s already experienced it all at some point within her 16 years of life. I wish her all the best.

THIS! I'm still sorting through the TRAUMA and it's a B#$×%. It's a major fight with yourself to sort what "normal" is. What's normal to others still feels unsafe to you! Thank you for "getting it"

BeBuTeeFull I’m glad that you know that it’s totally fine. Honestly, one of the worst things you can do to someone in an already difficult situation, is make them feel bad about it. You need to know that it’s okay.

Also she lives in USA. You have a criminal record you will never get a job with the way their system works. She needs A LOT of money to get a late age education. Mental healthcare facilities are far and few between and privatised, she has no chance with help there. Medication is exponentionally more expensive than the rest of the world, she will never have access to it. USA is the least opportunistic nation, does not help the poor or disenfranchised. Capitalism has eaten away the admirable ideals of the USA and turned them to cancer. Their people are beautiful, their country and system/govt is not. Money talks in USA more than anywhere else. You ain’t got it, your life is meaningless

From someone that actually left an abusive household, got my ged, and my first job was retail.. it would have been impossible if I didn’t have the people that took me in.

Retail is soul crushing too so. Life in general for blue collar folks is B.S.

based on how most of his follow-ups are, probably not great. Hope she pulls it together, but it's like a 1% chance :/

When I met her I hope this is all true cuz I haven’t been hearing any good abt her on the streets

Words aint Shit

Except she says she not addicted, she definitely addicted. It took her baby away, she's homeless on skid row. She needs to address that problem first before anything

Craig Fawcett that is very true

Mas Sdnomde yes words aint shit but also keeping the negative attitude with people that have a addiction problem won’t help anyone

Did Krista ever get help off of the street? I know some people offered. And I have tried to find out. But I have not found out. I really would like to know. If anyone knows anything please let me know. Please

And today's date is July 8th, 2022. I hope and pray so. Please let me know. I don't have any other way to find out. Please. Thank you, Linda Maiden

???, I would like to know if there was any progress in Christina's situation. I got highlighted and liked just an hour ago. But I don't see any Information.

She passed away in June 2023 due to a blood infection from drug use. ​@lindamaiden1674

@@lindamaiden1674 Sadly she passed away.

In the first interview there was a comment from two other girls that said they went to school/camps with her and she’s 19or20.

jennifer samuel 🤔 she looks older than 16 could be the drugs or maybe she’s lying about her age.

Exactly just 1!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Will she take it? There are lots of programs available for minors on the street. I am sure he will lead her to those resources. She would be put in the foster care system and age out at 18. As a homeless teen there are grants available for college and free public high school.

@@riaavelar8491 i feel ( im not expert ) she in particular needs love. Not just a chance or a case #. She clearly has been able to make money somehow but money has not brought her the path she really needs. Foster care for these kids have failed them. The system has failed them so their trust is broken. She needs to trust first. I wish her luck. Lots of it. Xo

She passed away 😢

😓

@Doven Ro Galus thank you for that..very true

sarah j. Girls and boys get raped it’s just boys being raped isn’t talked about as much. For you to judge someone you don’t means that your soul may not as clean as you think. None of ours are anyway

Oh god, chill out lady. You sound sexist.

It’s funny y’all say “ all men” like it’s a kick in crotch to guys, just remember that a sword is double edged. That’s why every time I hear things like this, it’s always aimed toward men, and never the other way around smh 🤦‍♂️

TRUTH

THAT PART!!!!! I have that gut feeling of her taking full blown good advantage of that!! I pray it happens, she’s a child and is willing to hand write a school for her own future. She’s not confident in the school but she’s still willing to write to reach out to them and THAT IS APPLAUDED FOR HERE!!

FOREAL.

That money would’ve changed this child’s world.

Amen to this! This girl can still be helped!

He’s give her that package bc the other girl seems to be easily manipulated. Not to be a asshole but once get a face tattoo. You set yourself up to be profiled a certain way. Idc who says it or where. That’s a huge deal. The younger you are getting that the more of a risk.

Proud of your accomplishments. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

❤️❤️❤️ You are amazing! Gave me chills to read your post. Congratulations! You are a beautiful soul who looked evil in the eyes and won! I’m so proud of you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

💚💚💚 Proud of you. That’s hard and you made it. This comment made me so happy. These videos just shows you never know what someone else’s eyes have seen and the trauma each soul holds. Never judge. Be good to everyone, every soul is important. Always hold on to hope.

you are a true worrior well done.. I am so proud of you.. bless you 🤩👌🏼💪🏽🤲🏼💞

if only she actually survived :(

So true☺

42 ☺

Street life destroys people

A shame that she is, she’s only coming off as mature because she had to grow up very quickly

She’s an Angel.

Lots of mothers are cruel to their daughters...they are even jealous of them.

The mother is addicted to crack.

Some people should not have kids

She's trouble. But some people should not have kids.

hurt ppl hurt ppl. I'm sure her Mom has a horrible pass too. no excuse but thats how some ppl are unfortunatley

Yes that would be very intriguing to see an interview with her and her mom

I agree! She’s been one of the most memorable ones for me.

Kennedy I re-watch her video too. She speaks so eloquently. I’m so glad to see Kristina is hopeful to make changes.

Horrible idea to call her mom 😒

You said exactly what I was thinking. It was hard to hear Mark tell this young person that basically being understandably angry and depressed is less appealing to those who get to decide if they help a vulnerable person or not. "Be happy and you'll deserve help" isn't any kind of message to send to anyone. I would be interested in knowing why this thought pattern keeps repeating amongst the better off/ the one with the greater advantages.

@alicia headrick I just got a notification that someone saw my simple post about Christiana. But It didn't give an update as I hope for.

If anyone knows anything please let me know. I posted my concerns on July 8th. I know it has been a long time for her. I would love to know if she made it out of there. And if that host did help her like he was telling her. Or if anyone else did because of all the other offers people were giving at that time. I don't feel too positive that they did. I wonder every day. And I would so appreciate it if someone knows and would let me know. And I would love to hear something positive. Thanks, Linda Maiden - Larkins

Omg 🙌🏾

No be everybody get that kind money. Feeding extra mouths is stress

True

Yes.. that would have been really good..

I wish he would do another update on her

Right there is nothing childish about this teenage girl but as you pointed out she still is a child legally

She’s actually 21

Amen 🙏

@@AestheticallyC howd u know

@@ye2855 Because people that went to high school with her said so and they all had the same stories ..

Be careful what you say, bc life can change in a blink of an eye. Glad ur daughter is good and On the right path but remember kids are sneaky and only show u what they want u to seen,

I hear what your saying, but deserve has nothing to do with it. Life isn't fair. The world is filled with people who have had a terrible start and succeeded. I dont mean money but happiness and love

No need for comparison... your daughter couldn’t be “in more of a different place” good for her. Don’t compare your daughter to her. It’s not fair....

christopher st.marin @Christopher, first a small lesson: your use of the word “your” is all wrong. “Your” is used to show possession, “you’re is a contraction, meaning words put together like “you’re is short for “you are”So your sentence is saying “her saying” she doesn’t have any “saying”, that makes no sense. Your - possession You’re- you are You’ve-you have

Yeah that makes me nervous every time

Yep

For some reason im.not sure if she was really as involved with them as she claimed

That would be amazing

Exactly. Thanks so much for your comment. 💞

She's amazing and she's going to make it.

He is you can see it in her eyes! God is gonna carry her through this! GOD KNOWS HER HEART IS PURE ❤❤🙏🙏

He’s already with her

I could see her acting for sure !

She'd be a GREAT actress

Yes I love her voice

From drugs and smoking

@@stevesmom9868 not necessarily my voice is raspy as well some women just have raspy voices.

I agree, I see her as an actor or a rapper

i second that!!!!

💯

That's wassup

Easier said than done

Sarah Fishermans ... not really, just do what a councilor at the Rescue Mission tell ya to do! Step one: clean up your vocabulary for goodness sake. You want “goodness” right. God doesn’t like FOUL LANGUAGE. He’s even said “it isn’t what goes into your body but rather what comes out your mouth that defiles you. Icould barely get through the video without feeling I’ve been assaulted by her language.

Bing Marshall if the thing that bothered u most about the video is the language you’re watching the wrong channel bud. These people have more important things to worry about

Zhxra ! ... If she wants different, she cannot walk into “the real world” and speak like that. Not with an employer for sure, not with others that don’t speak like that, not around children, not in the grocery store nor a doctor’s office. It simply doesn’t work. She can hang with the “filthy mouth group”. But NEVER with people with bigger language skills. My opinion

@Lost... so you say “if she can find resources”. EXACTLY, she wants someone to do it for her, she wants MONEY above anything else. Well, it’s up to HER to go to the Rescue Mission and do as they tell her to do. She’s looking for an easier way. Sounds like she wants people to get her a place to live and MONEY. Girl, she’s looking for some FREEBIES.
