This girl started a whole set of free form dreads during this show😂

I like how the mother isn't shaming and talking bad to them but supporting them making them feel like someone is actually there for them

For a brief second, she let her wall down while listening to her father’s letter. That really showed/proved the importance of having a present father. 😓

She got teary eyes when Karamo read her dad's letter. She's mad...and I love the mother, she's trying her best for her kids

I think he would've got a better reception if he talked to the kids backstage in a secluded environment with a counselor available. Unpacking past trauma is never easy, especially from teenagers who barely know how to process their emotions in healthy ways. When the girl kept saying "I don't know" she probably really don't know why she keeps making terrible decisions, she's operating from a place of trauma. She needs professional help to unpack and process her trauma responses.

I love this mom, and I pray that things work out with her kids. I can't imagine what will happen to her if anything is to happen to her kids because of their reckless and selfish behaviour.

I feel like Karamo is taking the right approaches here, but it’s tough to open up when you’re scared, let alone in front of a studio audience. As a kid it’s common to be worried you’ll get in trouble. But in a controlled environment (e.g., private counselling session), you can make a lot more breakthroughs

I like that Karamo acknowledged that he can’t get through to these kids. That was a nice sign of integrity that these kids needed to see. I also wish he and the producers would have invited a specialist to the show to work with the kids on air a bit. That would have been nice.

she needs someone she can trust and can protect her.

She not mad she sad..... Her Father let her down.... that's the energy I'm getting

She’s a great mom ❤doing the best she can as a mother

The son is so positive wow hope he does have a good life

Her twiddling her hair and him twitching his leg says everything.

I wish Karamo and the teen had a one-on-one conversation without the audience present, and replayed it after talking with the mom. It's awkward talking to a quiet teen with like 100 audience members watching.

CURRENTLY BINGE WATCHING KARAMO Would love an update on this family

Lol im sorry but the fact he thought them talking to him was finna just work a miracle. Literally in front of a crowd he thought he was gone just get them to open up . Be realistic.

When u read that letter from her POPS, her heart sank and tears started to surface. She's hurt about the separation between her mother and father and that she doesn't have her father and the love of a father. She may even blame herself for the reason mother and father separated. WE NEED DADDY TO STEP UPPPPPPP!!!!!

I went through this exact same state when I was younger with my mom. I was arrested and always leaving home for months or weeks at a time without calling her. her mother reminded me of mine bc I remember how much my mom truly cared about me and how she cried over my bad doings. Later on during my senior year i started to act right and me and my mothers bond grew and I’ve never been happier. We’ve been so much better since I realized the real problem was me and I fixed it and I’ve been so much better off.

There is absolutely no father figure, and the mother is doing her best to give them a better life. The eldest child is two steps away from a prison, if she doesn't change. My heart goes out to that family. I'm tired of seeing young people going down the wrong road. 🤔🤔🤔🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏

The sister didn’t not give no fucks 😂😂😂😂

I’m so grateful that my teens are into anime & I was a young mom but we never lived in harsh environments, I love this mother and focused & supportive to her children she is, I feel & pray her teens will make a great turn around and live an abundance life of success & love ❤

First and foremost I know this beautiful woman personally and applaud her for reaching out trying to get help with her babies it's not easy to ask for help, teenagers are hard to raise period but even more so now that covid has them so messed up emotionally. I'm a single mother myself raising a 15 year old so I can totally relate. We have a horrible mental health system in the United States with an ugly stigma when it comes to discussing mental health issues.. it does take a village to raise a child but when the village is lacking resources in certain areas it can be very frustrating. Mama you keep your head up beautiful I know it's hard but your babies will appreciate your strength and when they're old enough and the frontal lobe has fully developed LOL they will understand ❤

J is nervous as hell, look how she’s picking at her hair non stop. The brother seems more mature.

Their mum is really hopeful and happy that they’re willing to make an effort to change and become better

That girl's anger probably comes from an adult that put hands on her in some way. Not the mother, but someone "touched" that girl and she's angry.

I love the way Karamo speaks directly to each person finding a solution for each individual. everybody received the message, there is more to life! Beautifully put together!

I feel so sorry for this hard working and loving mum, these kids has so much opportunities that other kids wish they had, I wish it’s never too late for them to realise.

This is the reason why I should not have kids. Having to beg someone to have common sense is not something I can do. The mother is trying her best to save her young life from going to ruin, I don't think I could try this hard. I would just give up and let her learn through experience. Power to all the parents who try their best to set up their children for success.

This episode really touched me. There are a lot of layers to this young lady pain. The question was ask if she was initiated into a gang. She replied yes. I really feel that she wanted to express herself but not to violate the code she shut down. Also the question was never ask if she had been sexually violated in any way. I get the vibe that something traumatic has happened to her. And the brother wants to protect his sister by following along to a certain point. Yes she needs counseling to get to the root cause of her pain. And maybe then the two siblings will open up to there parents.

The disconnect here is sooooo real... These kids come from a totally diffrent place. They need other kinds of help that can not be given in a session, it is a societal. Economics, and institutionalized racism is being played out here, and it hurts to see, and feel it.

This is why its so important to have the farther in there lives and in person .

what a strong mother she is awesome hoping the best for this family

It’s the mother smiling for me as the daughter was explaining all the wild stuff she do. It’s a dark grimm future for my ppl😒.

This is so sad to watch. They're too far gone. I pray the mother find's peace because it doesn't seem like there is much hope left. Once they get to a certain age and live that life, it's hard to pull them out.

what happens when she tell the gang that she doesn't want to be in it anymore...

I'm glad he's there to help this young lady she really needs the help

This episode was really sad my heart goes out to the mother. I hope and pray that you will be able to reach these children.

The fact that her Mom let her friends stay over while she had to work and stuff while she’s on probation and she still let her have friends over. How dare she still disrespect her mom😞😞🤕🤦🏾

I know both of these children personally. Both were my students. Janaira has always been a problem child. From fighting to setting desk on fire. There’s something rooted and it needs to be brought out. Both children were friends with my children until we moved back to Michigan.

I would give her to God, she is totally committed to her gang The young man gives me hope, I believe that he’s just caught up and influenced by his sister

These are some beautiful kids. I pray for an awakening.

I feel for them…the type of environment they live in will suffocate you.

I don’t like the crowds reaction to certain answers she gives. It’s hard already opening about her life especially with a audience and being recorded but the extra ooh and ahhhs add more fuel to the fire

It’s sad that the brother saying he scared that everyone around him is going to die not just his sister even his

This was a hard show to watch.. Very heartbreaking, because this was me with my son back in 2017. He was incarcerated until 2021 and has turned his life around.. Her works for the DOT now and has his own family.. It's never too late if they get the right help.. God bless this mom got trying to get the help her kids deserve. I pray they do change and they do survive the issues in their lives

Just bring them to Nigeria, they do not even need to go to rehab or some type of correctional place, they will just change for the better just by living here. I swear to God

watching this made me tear up and i really felt this episode with my heart cause i lost somebody, my best friend to gun violence and to see or to even think that these kids could be my best friend pains me because they really have sooo much potential and they really are smart kids who are just tangled up in the wrong situations

WE HAVE TO PRAY FOR OUR CHILDREN.

I like this show because he's talking to real people with problems in need of help rather than talking to a celebrity whose kids are spoiled.

I wouldn't feel comfortable talking either if I was being recorded and there was a tv audience in front of me.

Lord I felt this mother's pain I'm currently going thru the same thing as she is with my son and the pain and worrying is unexplainable I'm praying for her kids and her as I pray for my own

I'd love to talk to these kids and their mother.I wish I was on this show to give these kids another way of thinking.I so feel this family.If nothing changes mom will be crying big later as well as the kids.

When she heard her father's words she became vulnerable!! If the dad was in the home in almost certain their lives would be a bit different! #Blessings #prayingforourchildren

That’s a good momma right there! Wishing her blessings ❤

Turn your life around young lady. I hope this family makes it.

I feel very much so for this Mom. Different circumstances with my youngest daughter who is 15 and her children. Very different culturally as well. I am grateful that I have had the ability to get her mental health help since she was young. She is still struggling, but not like this. It is easy for us to lose track of our blessings in certain things. These kids though, I honestly was surprised by them being as open as they were. He says he has these goals, but he is treading a fine line. I truly hope he gets with someone to guide him and help him from getting to where his sister is. He may already be there and just not being as open as she is. I hope that the therapist she is paired with can reach her. I truly do. Mom is trying, that is plain to see. Mistakes are definitely being made, but that is learning as a parent and trying to do better with what is available. I truly hope this family gets the support they truly need.

She’s a young lady who’s still developing emotions and seems like things got mixed up with her and is hard to know a secret from a teenager especially she’s in the gang where you can’t a say word so that’s probably why she’s like that but I see she’s hiding a lot and seems like a sweet person

That young lady is hurt the little girl inside needs to be healed we all need to heal the little girl the little boy inside and that requires therapy

Hopefully Karamo got through to those teens. They both need some serious help.

Montel and Early Oprah = 💜 Karamo Vibes! When people tried to help or bring awareness, instead of trash and exploitation. These kids need their dad present, their hearts teared when that letter was read.

Listening to Roshena it's obvious she's a hard working Mother ... Dealing with her "mis behaving daughter... Roshena loves her children most definitely doesn't want them INCARCERATED... Blessings to the Family 🙏🏼

Amen I was holding on to so much anger it took me 17yrs to let it go I’m finally free 🎉

Our country has ruined many families. The young lady doesn't know who she was created to be. She's scared, but trying to be someone she's not. She needs to wake up before it's too late. It's either jail or something worse. If they allow discipline back in the home not abuse it will get better.

Awwwwww 😢it’s like she wants to break down so bad they have a beautiful future Lord please keep them and lead them to a different Light guide them babies and help their mother ❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

This really makes my soul and sprit cry you clearly and see these are good kids deep down hope they open Thier eyes and see their special 🙏🏾

Keep up the good work brother! Happy you’ve got a spot to conduct real discussions

When Karamo read the letter was when the teen daughter showed some emotion … they seem like they need their dad….

They Are From The Streets, They Ain't Saying Nothing! 🤷🏾‍♂️ Not Gonna Get Much Out Of Them

“Where y’all father at “ IN JAMAICA ❌❌

I feel with J she hasn't came out yet and that can definitely take a toll on a person

This generation is terrible.. as a mom I feel her pain trying to deal with a teenager these are hard..

For the sake of the girl due to the fact that she got that arrangement to be able to join the nba via Karamo I hope she manages to fully pull away from whatever people she’s affiliated with because jealousy is strong and very often ppl kill ppl in the midst of their successes due to the “crab in the bucket” mentality. I’d love to see her end up in the WNBA and become great and glow up from this lifestyle.❤

Good day . So I wasn’t going to comment but just reading everyone comments I just wanted to say before anyone blames anyone everyone should see that I’m reaching out for help before it’s to late and no it can’t change in the 30 minute show but it is a start and I didn’t bring them on the show to embarrass them I brought us on the show to express my feelings and let ppl know I don’t approve of any negativity. I’m just trying to save my family that’s it don’t know what anyone else thought and the show was a resource for us so don’t point no fingers at any of us because we all trying to get better but thanks 🙏🏾 for the feedback Much LOVE ❤️ AND RESPECT

KARAMOOOOOO.... Love how much you actually care and I'm so proud of that mother. strong lady

Keep up the great work, Karamo. Love your show, brother. Love from South Africa (CapeTown)

Sweet mommy,get all the help you can for your babies. Never stop praying for them as well.

There has to be an update on these kids.

I believe they're acting out because their Father isnt there. He can write all of the letters he wants, they can go unread. Very unfair to the Mother that is there. Personally, they'd be outta my house simply because not knowing what they're doing outside they could possibly bring problems to our home...DAMN THAT!! Mom needs to demand her respect though. I think to keep peace in the household she's gifting them a lot. I see how expensive they look for tv. She has to make them earn their looks and get jobs.

J is nervous, the fidgeting with the hair, etc. The brother seems a little more in tune with his feelings but he has to find his own reasons and motivation, otherwise everything seems pointless

Them kids don’t gaf , we gotta tryna again

9:37 karamo know he wanted to say two young black men 💀

Something about that momma is telling me that a lot of this is on her. Not saying she did anything wrong, but maybe she failed to establish rules and boundaries when they were smaller and it got out of hand when they got older. I hope they get it together.

I love the mom she is doing the best she can for her Childen

they are so fine 😭

what happened between her being 2-3 years old and the pandemic? Mom says they were close when she was 2-3, then the pandemic hit and the child had new friends, etc. The child is 16, so that leaves roughly 13 years unaccounted for. What happened? I'm only 4 minutes in, so perhaps it will come out later on in the episode, but I would be interested in knowing what happened in those years.

Unappreciated kids but they will realize when they are grown and on they own.

I am not related to any crimal act, but i went through some of the same thing, living in a low income home/neighborhood, being raised by a single parent with my other parent in another county doing his best, and having moved houses. Change is a really big step especially when you grew with people they considered family and i can tell they are lashing out because they don't think they fit in or are constantly think about going back, they don't consider their current area as a home yet. That can change by going out an exploring the area, but if they finding "friends" who give them that, they won't care about doing risky activities with the condition of feeling at home, that they belong

The sad truth is their environment has more influence and they aren't afraid. Sad thing is that little girl being tough, once you start showing weapons, she's going to get it in return with her brother following suit. They're headed for the prison or the cemetary

I really wish the crowd would stop clapping after every moment because it’s almost like we can’t get a true response with every co-signing clap

Sometimes it is the home environment, but sometimes there's the outsider environment. My momma had 2 kids, single, worked in aerospace, provided every single need and more. We spent quality time together, we were well behaved kids. My brother went to 2 private schools, paid for by my momma. At 12years old, under the influence of a friend's older brother, my brother started getting into trouble. Juvenile Hall, CYA, then eventually prison. In and out of prison..to this day... He is 52. My momma tried counseling, and he was doing well until he left the facility. He played sports and was a great quarterback. But his choices caused him to be where he is now.. and now on top of that, he is on drugs for over 5 years. My momma passed away of cancer, and I assume he felt guilty for what he pit her through. She practiced tough love. He couldn't live with us as a gang member, with that street life. Wasn't going to happen. Oh and my momma was a teenager, 16 having my brother and worked, lived on her own and provided us stability. He made choices and messed up his opportunities because of fast money because his allowance wasn't enough.

I thank you so much I been going through it for as long as I can remember and I been thinking about therapy because of my peers n I keep rejecting it but seeing these are really helping me consider it more

I pray that young man stays strong

But the father is in a complete different country living his life 😅 good job I’d he loved them he’s be there to support his kids

Wow😥 a couple different things going ok here. Mom doing her best. Very nice looking family. Praying for release of negative strongholds and for togetherness 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Prayers for this family ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
