When You Decide to Run Away From Home

Augustin is the perfect example of a good kid in a bad city.

The first mistake was naming her "crystal"

crystal needs therapy when children act like this they crying out for help. The mother also needs to get therapy for herself to deal with the stress and to learn the skills she needs to help her daughter.

The second kids story is literally heartbreaking...how could anyone be mean to this kid he seems so nice

Put that girl in boxing. Shed be a beast and get that aggression out.

Crystal's mom means well, but she is too soft and lets crystal walk all over her

Bruh I'm 19 y/o and even I can see that Crystal is crying inside when she's talking about her defiance to her mom. All she needs is for her mother to sit down with her and tell her from the bottom of her heart how much she loves her, trusts her and wishes to help her with anything she needs. Crystal is broken.

Crystal’s mom seems like the type of mother who only cares about her image than her child’s actual well being

It hurts me to see kids sitting alone at lunch and then they start looking at the other kids wit all they friends 🥺🥺 Man I would be his friend

Awwww the second guy :) hes intelligent but just gets angry due to bullying. I hope the operation is successful and he moves back to the normal educational system

Agustin seems really mature for a 12 year old. like not just looking mature, it's his manner of speaking, and how he handles himself is much like an adult.

I was honestly so moved the way Augustin said how the school helped him a lot with his anger, and when people make fun of him he just lets that go now, hard to believe he’s just a kid, he speaks so well

Why do they think putting aggressive kids with aggressive kids will make these kids calm..

VICE should do an update on these kids maybe even one on the school like if you agree so they can see this.

My heart breaks for that poor kid who was crying being told he could die during surgery. Damn

I feel so bad. Physically things are against him, and he gets attacked by other kids for it. Really a good kid too smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

Crystals mom is the reason why her daughter is the way she is.

I'm so blessed that I was raised in a good neighbour hood with parents who care about me & my education

Crystal is the definition of a ”hot cheeto girl”

You guys are judging crystal. Who knowd the mother may act nice and caring on camera but who knows what happens behind closed doors

Put her on *Beyond Scared Straight*

Crystals mom needs to be less concerned about her own image and more about her daughter.

Id love to hear a parent say "Im sorry for my child's behavior and Im going to try harder as a parent."

It's so weird to see this because I actually knew Augustin during my Sophomore and Junior year of high school, which he was blind in his eye by then. He was pretty cool with whomever he was cool with. Not gonna lie, worst part about it is he was judged by appearance, but other than that, real cool guy.

put her in beyond SCARED STRAIGHT 😂😂😂

The little sister is gonna turn out the same way as crystal, unless the mother tightens up.

She’s parenting her kids wrong stop blaming it on the child don’t get me wrong that girl knows what she is doing is wrong but nobody is stopping her

Well, we see the problem. She’s so hostile towards her children, it isn’t a healthy dynamic.

4-5 years later, watching in 2019, honestly I wonder how some of these kids are shaping up in the world now

You know your setting up your daughter for success when you give her a strippers name. EDIT: I left this comment 6 years ago as a kid and since know better than to make such remarks.

The dignity that poor kid is displaying is so incredibly inspiring. I only hope that I face adversity in my life with his courage.

Agustin seems like a really good kid. He’s got a bright future ahead of him. His heart is in the right place

What is Agustin doing in this school?!?!? He seems like a really, really, kind guy and has a heart. His grades are pretty good too compared to the other students at the school. He should've went to a regular school

The weird thing about crystals mom is that she doesn't really express any emotion. She has the same face for everything she says, even when she says shes concerned about her kid.

I hope Augustine knows that most people wouldn’t make fun of him and would actually support him. This school doesn’t speak for the rest of us normal kids who have empathy for eachother

Crystal’s mom is playing the victim way too much that it gets really irritating.

"This is where I feel like I dont have control over my child" you never did have control.

The boy that had to have surgery his story made me cry i hope his surgery went fine and i hope him and his mom are both happy and blessed

I remember being a teenager like her saying similiar things about not caring about my mother, now im an adult with 3 children and i cant explain the level of empathy i have for my parents now. I cannot imagine the day i have to walk this earth without their presence. Nobody will ever love you like your mother.

3:45 Poor guy just tryna do his job and a random woman calls him ugly

That girl seems spoiled, no real emotional issues. Just spoiled and disrespectful.

Poor kid he has to go through surgery with a risk of dying plus on the side had to go through bullying 1 like equals respect for that kid

Mom: "This is the ghetto" Me:rattatattataaaa

I think this is 69 daughter. That is why she doesn’t have a dad. Cause he wanted to be a rapper

you really cant blame crystal for resenting her mom so much. her mom cares more about looking like a good mom for the cameras and in front of the teachers than she does about her own daughter. the fact that she was so shocked just from hearing kids curse on the bus goes to show just how little she knows or cares about what goes on in her daughters life. she doesnt deserve to have the kids that she does

Didn't crystal state her mom put her in a hospital at age 8?

The elephant that's always in the room. No father in the home.

That Mom sucks-she can’t even control that little 7 year old.

Are y’all sure her name is Crystal Sanchez and not Daniel Hernandez ? 😂

crystal gets this all from her mother.. mom is arrogant for no reason so is her daughter.. mom blames everyone else for her problems so does crystal... and GOD knows what ther other daughter is gonna turn out like.

Crystal is obviously hurt by something. Kids don’t act like this for no reason. There needs to be someone open minded, willing to get to know Crystal; I think she needs someone there for her. It seems like Maritza is too calm with Crystal and letting her walk all over her.

Those teachers deserve so much more money. I been to prison 3 times and these stories touch my heart. I know its been awhile since this came out but I hope all these kids made it out of the system. Hope they didnt go the same route I did. 🙏

Why does Crystal even have a phone. Obvious she does not deserve it.

Agustin dosent belong in that school, the people who make fun of the kid do. Plus the Hemophilia and the rate of violence in that school dosent sound like a good combination.

I wish to God I could rescue kids like Augustin. And even that other kid with the voice problem in the first 2 episodes.

I wanted to cry watching Augustin. Kids can be so cruel. I hope he lives a long and happy life. 🥺

Lmao "SHe used her middle finger to turn it off I cant believe her" XDXDXDXDXD

5:20 She didn't let you sign her up for YMCA? I never knew Crystal was the parent. This is why Crystal is the way she is. She believes she is the boss because her mom won't stand up to her. When I younger I always wanted to talk back. I had 2.5 seconds to get my act together or else she'd get the belt. All you have to do is show who's boss.

i wish these videos were longer. it'd be really nice to be able to watch these kids as they progress

Crystal's mother: she tells me that she's doing so well. Teacher: "we don't have wellness reports." Me:😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

first thing I noticed with Crystal's mom, even with the little girl its more like she's begging her to please please behave. Puhlease! my parents never asked me. They TOLD me and i had 2.5 seconds to correct myself or else that hand, belt, spoon, hanger, etc. was coming....needless to say my parents raised 4 kids and ALWAYS got compliments from strangers and teachers about how well behaved we were

The mom at the beginning seems too laid back..there wouldn't be a 2nd "turn that off", my mom would've smacked the shit outta me

I get that Crystal is spoiled (sure might be), but I can’t help but think of my dad when I see her mom. I had everything I needed growing up and was a good kid and still do strive to be a good young adult. The one thing that my dad didn’t give me was understanding and emotional support whenever I was upset. He always made it out to be that any emotion other than happiness was unacceptable. He was also very controlling and anytime I had a problem with him and tried to talk to him about it, even to the point of crying, he’d act like i didn’t know what i was talking about and that he, the parent, had more say in how i should feel. I get that Crystal needs discipline, but her mom honestly seems emotionally neglectful and unsupportive. Why would she grab her youngest daughter so hard that it hurts and ignore her? Why should she try and scare her youngest daughter by basically implying “Don’t be like your older sister”? Words have weight and I wouldn’t be surprised if the younger sister grows up hating her older sister or hating her mom. Tough love is tough love but it doesn’t work for every kid

She has roof over her head and food on the table. A mother who cares for her. Why does she hate her mother so much?

really hope spanky, cortez and agustin get on in life and that agustins operation succeeds...made me really sad watching that

On a Serious Note, there is no reason for Agustin to be at that school in his condition.

The second kid seems so nice and mature for his age! I hope he’s doing okay! Beautiful soul

Crystal is just a hurt little girl who needs someone to listen to her anger and hurt, I wish I could hug her. Her mom doesn’t have consequences for her daughter so she does the same behavior

The only ones I care for is Agustin and spanky

Awe this is so heart breaking! Listen to your children and children listen to your parents it's a team - it flows so well

my heart broke for Agustin, he seems like a cool kid. hope he’s ok now :(

Agustin seems like a nice kid! I like him. Hope all goes well with him. God bless him

69’s daughter frfr💀

A lot of hurt in that little girls eyes hopefully she’s good now

i hate seeing runaways run away because their parents are strict, but have a good home, money, clothing, etc will never not be annoying to me

you notice the beginning of the video, the mom sits there with no control ASKING her daughter to please turn the radio off. Get the fuck up and turn it off yourself and show her that her behavior in that moment is unacceptable and that shit isnt going to go that way. "She knows the rules and she has broken my rules"....fucking force her to act the right way, dont sit back and politely ask her if she wouldnt mind following your rules to teach her right or wrong. You can see the way she deals with the younger daughter as well, she whines to the kid and says "come on, you're misbehaving and giving me a hard time right now do you see that?" Thats not the way you deal with kids. You speak sternly and tell them to stop acting like that, if they want to continue then you take away somethin they care about until they behave properly. Tell her she has to go to bed early tonight if she doesnt stop, tell her she wont have ice cream this week if she doesnt stop, tell her you're not going to buy her a book that she wants etc....You have to use leverage with these kids, they're not rational...you cant just reason with them and tell them that acting a certain way is a good thing that they should do all the time. They're kids and they want to mess around and have fun, you have to give them an incentive to behave properly. Her approach is absolutely wayyyy to lax and not assertive enough. She allows the kids to walk all over her and she doesnt take control the way she needs to. That leads to the kids being sociopathic and thinking that they are allowed to make the rules and do things the way they want because thats how its always been for them their whole lives. The rules were always there, but they were following them the way that they wanted to because the mother was too weak to enforce the rules exactly the way she wants them. She bends and compromises for the kids and then they take that mentality with them to the school and the real world, she wants things her way and she will always try because thats how the mom let her act her whole life. I think a big part of these kids issues are parents that are either too weak to enforce the rules and disciplines they need to, or the parents dont know what to do for their kids, or im sure some of them simply dont give a shit about their kids.

The second boy melted my heart ❤️ May god bless him and keep him humble 🙌🏾

I feel so bad for the poor mother, God Bless the family.

Crystals mom really pisses me off theres so many things she could have done to stop crystal that she hasn’t

I just want to hug the boy he’s brave and been through so much 😕

Augustin im hugging you through the internet

This poor kid I know I'm years late, but my prayers go out that this kid has a good surgery seems like a good kid with a good heart

Dude augustine is a bright and intelligent kid it would be better if he gets out of this school.......

Agustin & Montreal are the only two that I can show my love to. They don't deserve to be at an alternative school where there are disgraceful pests bullying them.

My soul weeps for these children. If only I had the power to help them.

Ran away at 16 n’ haven’t been back since. Hardest, but most healing decision i’ve ever made.

Make jokes all you want telling people "at least I have a father/mother"... pray for all the kids who grow and grew up without both parents, it builds up so much anger in people and it saddens me

Prayers go out to Augustin...and a belt and a backbone for Crystal's mom

I feel so bad for the boy🥺he doesn’t deserve to be there his anger isn’t Bc he wants to be angry it’s Bc people make fun of him intentionally and the only way he can express how he feels is thru negative actions I feel soooo bad🥺💔watching him broke me☹️

Man I feel for that kid I use to sit at lunch alone but hell be a stronger person down the road

this video makes me feel so fortunate about my school and life

1:45 he didn't even let her hands go, it feels like it means something emotionally

I pray that,that kid augistin is blessed in life and I hope everything is better with his face and it's crazy how we take the smallest things for granted

i feel bad fir that kid who was screaming help me 3 seconds later he screamed :(

"You don't want to come to this school you'd have to see him every day." Damn Crystals mum tell him what you really think.

I'm so sick and tired of these old ass baby boomer women and mother's always thinking the child is just bad and they don't know why? they have had traumatic thing's happen to them hurtful thing's and until these elders stop blaming these children nothing will change. I don't believe a child is born bad crystal is simply a product of her own dysfunctional environment.

I have two kids. I love them so damn much I tear up thinking about them. They are kids and with everyday that comes makes me realize that’s one more day closer to me not being able to protect them from the world. My heat goes out to these two kids. Life is is hard, it’s unfortunate to live it without knowing you are love or being made fun of for something you have no control over. Makes me so mad.

You can see it in her eyes she’s a prisoner right now

the kid with hemophilia is so sweet
