Hi everyone this is Pamela and I would like to thank everyone for watching my documentary and for all the comments good and bad nobody knows what I feel and what I've been through but God has carried me and kept me and I'm great full for everything good and bad that's happened in my life all I ask is for prayers I'm a simple kind of human and I serve a mighty God..... Blessings to everyone..... Pamela Metcalf. 🌈💚💛❤️💜💙⭐🌟🎶🎶🎶👁️🌞🌞🌞🧞🪂🏄🥀🌹🌹🥀🌻🌻🌻⛱️🏖️🌎🌎🌎🌏🌓🐱🐱🐱🐱🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🍒🍎🍎

It is because of these videos that I added the lost, broken, homeless, alcoholics, addicts and prostitutes to my prayers at night.

Please follow up with Pam in the future, Mark. She touched my heart.

My heart melted when she said “I love God, if it wasnt for him i wouldn’t be here.” After all shes been through

Ok , so I’m truly never going to judge a person by looking at them ever again. These videos have taught me differently. I feel this lady’s warmth. Someone I’d love to sit and talk with myself.

What a life. Unbelievable. How is it possible to stay so upright and composed and beautiful inmidst this hell of a life. Stunning.

When I see your interviewees no matter how old, rough, and exhausted they appear, I can’t help but automatically imagine them as helpless little kids. Not in a pitiful way. I just see lost children who never had a chance to feel safe and loved in the world, so they fulfill that human need with whatever fleeting happiness they can grab.

I lived downtown los angeles for 20 years and another 20 in prison,went program in 2009. Completed program moved to mid west and been happy 1st time in my life.

That's one of the saddest interviews. They are all sad but there is something so tragic about this. I think Pamela is brave and a survivor and I hope she gets a suitable home soon.

"I felt like I was in my mother's womb." I think many of us search for that feeling in suffering

She has a quiet dignity after all she’s been through.

She's carrying herself with so much poise and class

I worked for a time as an R.N. in a prison, and almost every female I met that was incarcerated for various crimes most notably prostitution all have nearly the same childhood story of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. And sadly many of these women say the only place they feel a semblance of safety is in prison as long as they stay out of trouble when behind bars. Bottom line is these women are human beings and deserve respect and kindness for all the suffering they have gone through some since birth, and that is something we all can extend to them.

Daughter of Pamela. She has passed away over a year ago sadly. Thanks for the kind comments!

99% of these people have had sexual abuse and it makes me SO MAD AND DISGUSTED with these parents. My child was NEVER EVER out of my sight and still isn't @ 14 years old. No sleep overs either. This just makes me so sad!!!

99% of the time, these sad cases always come from an abusive childhood. It's tragic!

She's got a beautiful energy about her. Hopefully she can be a grandma for the baby and form a bond with her daughter and sons. She deserves a fresh start. 💜

She seems like she is reliving and deeply thinking about everything as she talks with him.

My mother always said that...if a man hit you once...he will never stop...

If she looks like this now she DEFINITELY was a head turner in her day👍👍

I wish I could take a lot of these people's childhood away and raise them all over again. People don't ask to be born, the least you can do is give them love and respect. Too many people have the same story of abuse and neglect. And as in this case, it's generational. Terribly sad.

It seems that she’s lived this life since she left home as a teenager and she’s 55 now. She probably doesn’t even know what a “normal” life is. This is so sad.

She has nightmares, tries to wake up but can't. She "rides it out." Here I am taking a peaceful nights sleep for granted.

Her life has been so heartbreaking sad. I hope she gets happiness in her life.

Being sexually abused doesn’t make being sex work easier. It makes you more able to switch off and let yourself be abused but nothing about that is easy. Mark should be more responsible, respectful and accurate in the way he frames his questions. Much respect to him for making these vids though.

This is a woman that has experienced way too much in her life!! And she still holds her head up high!!! I hope this woman finds happiness and peace! ❤️

She's very put together as a person, i'm so sorry for what she had to go through

I can tell she’s lived around pimps all her life. When Mark ask her a question, she simply says yes or no. Then she realizes she can say more she keeps it short and to the point. She doesn’t elaborate on very much.

Pamela comes across ass one of the most honest people I've seen on here. Praying she can "retire" and spend the rest of her life in safety.

Wow, her last words say it all. Two parents staying together and raising the kids could change society. Not completely or perfectly but significantly.

I feel so sorry for this woman. She sounds so - how can I put this? - sane, after all she's been through. Imagine the life she could have if only she'd had a comfortable childhood.

Pamela is in great physical shape she shines from within, what a strong lady, articulate, poised. I'm sorry for all you've gone through, you deserved much better. God bless you, Pamela.

“I miss my cat more than I do him” I feel that. Oh how I wish I could help this woman. She was trafficked as a minor. She never had her mother. She had a psychotic abusive family member raise her. It’s a recipe for disaster. And yet she remains so eloquent and poised. It just goes to show what childhood abuse (sexual, physical, emotional, and neglect) can do to a person. It makes them want to run away so badly that they will accept sex work rather than go back.

Mark she does not look great for 55 yrs old. The drug use has aged her considerably.

These interviews are a good way to understand and humanise people who have often fallen into poverty . It’s also frightening as there are so many predators waiting to prey on vulnerable people .

Good interview..she kept it real 💯 hope your housing comes through and your able to get off the streets

I have listened to a lot of Mark Laiti’s interviews - this one makes me sad,the sorrow and depression is thick in her voice. I hop life improves for her.

Pamela, your story is heartbreaking. After going throuh so much abuse, pani, you are a definition of dignity. I pray that you’ll have a home soon. And a chance to build a strong, loving relationship with your children.

This lady had been through so much!!.. She speaks so calmly about the horrors of her life!.. Surely she can be helped and directed to a more peaceful, calm and non streebt life direction

Certainly has maintained a meaningful measure of poise and dignity....

Thank you Mark having a heart to help these people!

The sadness seeping out of Pamela hurts my heart.

She’s such a gorgeous woman. Her beauty shines

8:47 when she says easy money, her expression right after that says there's NOTHING easy about that lifestyle. 😢

She seems just so sad and completely exhausted, like she's given up a long time ago. I'd just want to give her a hug.

I started crying when she said that she miss her children((( She is so feminine and elegant, classy with all her manners.. she looks older than 55 but she went through a lot since she was born((( i wish her all the best and I’m sure all things turn better for her soon!!! Bless you !🙏🏻❤️

How do we get this woman into a studio/ 1 bdrm? Something to give her peace, space, and security.

When she said she did heroin she felt like she was back in her mother’s womb I felt that!!!! Bless you Pamela! Even though your Uncle ruined your life you are still a beautiful person! I love you and so does God and Jesus Christ! 💜

I worked with abused kids for many years and see some of them in your videos...very sad. I appreciate your thoughtful questions and hope this will lead to more awareness and to the social changes that so desperately need to be made.

Mark, can we please get an update on Pamela if possible? I would really like to know how she's doing and if she got her housing and is safe.❤

For 55 she has some good thigh and bicep muscle size and tone. She must be so tired of this 😭 on psych meds to sleep on the street. Horrific combination! Hope she gets a key to a lil place she can feel safe in and sleep properly. Poor honey.

Oh my God what a life. Very, very sad. She has such a wisdom. I hope she gets a home.🧚‍♂️☘🇮🇪Mark I think is the best interview I've heard.

This poor woman has been through many lifetimes of abuse and neglect.

She's very well spoken for having completed only 7th grade. She's also quite beautiful. I wish she could get dental care.

She's a strong, beautiful person, and she seems really sweet. I hate that her life went so tragically. I hope she can find some semblance of happiness💔

She seems like a very intelligent and considerate, empathic person. I wish her all the best and i wish I could help her or at least let her kmow there is an anonymous person half way around the globe who cares about her.... If you read this: you are a beautiful person who deserves happiness, whatever that is for you! Max from Austria.

"You don't know a person until you've lived with them for a few years." If that ain't the truest shit I ever heard... I hope your daughter can break the cycle like you said. You're a sweet woman with a good heart.

Pamela had several FB profiles (b/c she states her name here in the comments). I looked her up and sadly she has passed away. Also reading thru many, many comments here (SWUB) there are several comments in re to her passing (recently). RIP Pamela 🙏💔

I’m amazed at how the people he interviews are so forthcoming and honest about their lives.

i’m so sorry, Pam! i hope you find peace in this lifetime

I respect and appreciate this video series. And while I do believe Mark has the best intentions and I know he's not a trained mental health professional, when he suggested to her that childhood sexual abuse makes "this kind of work EASIER" I cringed. Especially coming from a man, that's about the most over simplified rationale I could imagine. It just rubbed me the wrong way. Nonetheless, very moving interview and I hope Pamela is doing well.

These videos show how each person is so uniquely beautiful and special. Your videos give us the opportunity to stop and really listen to someone else’s viewpoint and life experiences. Pamela is a gentle beautiful soul!

Listening to Pam's story is so sad, she repeated her life that her mom gave her. Not being able to see her children or raised them had to be very difficult because of how she was raised. She needs a break to just be a her & to be loved like a mom. & as she said she is going to be a grandma. I pray she get housing and off the street. God bless you Pam. I am praying for you. 🙏💞

No judgment, but I feel badly for her children, who likely suffered what she did - longing for a mother, placed in various homes, likely, not sure tho, not ideal. I hope the children can break the cycle.

She's a sweet person and deserves an apartment and to live the rest of her life peaceful

I like these interviews, but I feel like Mark should formulate his questions a little better before hand. Some questions or comments come off insensitive, Ex: her childhood sexual abuse "probably makes it easier to do this kind of work"...??

Your photography is amazing. The pictures of the individuals in the thumbnail work wonders for them. So the thumbnail of Pamela was no different, but then the video started, I was amazed to how beautiful she is for a mature older woman. I wish her well and hope she can find a way to live the rest of her life in peace...

I cried ! I couldn’t help it . How are these people able to wake each day and get out of bed . The suffering in their lives is just unimaginable. I live in the U.K. it must go on here but you don’t hear much at all . I’m sending you my love I hope you are able to find happiness and proper love and peace

I just found this channel and I’ve been watching it nonstop for the past two days. My heart breaks for these people and I love that you’re showing compassion and talking to these people. You’re amazing you’re a godsend.

She's been through way too much. I hope she finds someone/someplace that makes her happy. Preferably with cats :).

So sad hearing about her husband being killed by cops right in front of her

7th grade education WOW! this is not her fault. Anyone looking down at these women is a terrible person. There is no way she had a chance from birth. I cant imagine the trauma and pain she has been through. God bless her

It still amazes me the resilience and strength of these women, how much hurt, pain and trauma can one person go through in their life. She’s still a beautiful woman inside and out god bless her 🙏🏽

Gorgeous lady I bet she was stunning when she was younger!!

Sad sad terrible life she’s had! Hope she can get out of it!

She is beautiful, well spoken, poised, a lady in the best way. Prayers for her best life. You are incredible Pamela

It is horribly sad, when females say how painful their life was with out their Mom and then they have children and the poor children have to live that same pain again with no Mom. My Mom was a orphan by age five. Her parents both died at the age of twenty five. My Mom, told me how painful it was for her, when all the other little kids had a Mom and she did not. My Mom was so amazing. She was the most loving, compassionate Mom, and just the best I could have ever had, and she never had her Mom. Her parents died because there were no anti biotics. It was not their choice of a life style that killed them. I lost her when I was 26 years old and she was only 54. I will never stop missing her until this part of the journey is over. My experience and my belief is every little girl needs their Mommy. I am so very grateful I had the best Mom. I was truly, blessed to have her. My heart hurts when I see children that have no Mommy in their life. I wish I could be a Mom to them all. I lost my two nieces, one had depression and drank to kill the pain but she became addicted to the booze and could not get a sober day for 5 years, and it drove her crazy she could not be a Mom to her children. She took her life. Now, her little girl is growing up with no Mommy. Her sister, hit the streets running by 16 yrs old. She lived in the streets for twenty two years. By the time her baby girl was a year old the state took her little girl. My family keep the baby. At age 40 my nieces heart gave out. The doctors could not restart it :( All those years of drugs and the streets must have weakened her heart :( Now, her daughter will never have her Mommy in her life. Drugs and booze and the streets, not only destroy the person in the streets but break the hearts of all who loved them. And to many times destroy their children's life because they are not there.

Bless her heart. How many of us can say we were paid 800.00 by a large man with a "crush fetish" to step on a muffin on a San Francisco street. I learn so danged much about all walks of life on Mark's channel. The muffin crushing is by far THE strangest thing I have ever heard. I felt bad for laughing, but I actually lost it for a minute. Mark said "step on WHAT?"

Sad that so many children get trafficked and end up doing this for life. It must be stopped. 😥

This lady can be saved. Shes so beautiful inside and out.

I would love to have coffee with Pamela and just listen to her stories. She's got sweet and calm energy.

Ty for ur interview, Pamela. I'm sorry nothing worked out for you. That whatever was supposed to be good ended being painful.

I am so glad the interviewer SOFTENED his interview toward the end. It sounded more like a interrogation . Pamela you have more beautiful human traits than anyone I have ever met. You carry yourself with GRACE , DIGNITY AND POISE. Many of us are very PROUD of you . That takes a lot of guts to put it out on the WORLD STAGE . Thankyou Pamela. I live in Sydney Australia and would love to make contact with you. It would be a HONOUR To know you. ❤

Mark: please do interviews on people across the USA who are not homeless, drug addicts, but working, raising nuclear familied and still financially struggling. People you would assume are doing well but are not. I was in one of these families. It has always reminded me to look deeper. Don't assume anything about people. Thanks!

Stay safe Pamela x

I can still see the beauty under the pain!

So sad to read some of the comments where posters think it's funny to ridicule her. She's exhausted. I think she still has to chip in order to live with the choices she's made. She says she's happy but her eyes and monotone voice say otherwise. I hope she finds peace at some point.

I picture her as a little girl longing for her mother. Yes Mark, please follow up on Pamela. I'm praying for her.

16:10 so incredibly sad seeing her go back into that moment when her husband was shot and then she forces herself to snap out of it. Such a strong woman

Abuse changes so much in the unconscious mind, it’s not something that stops with the abusive action.

She reminds me of donatella Versace

I Pray she finds the peace she deserves.

People are so quick to judge sex workers without giving any thought as to what it may have taken to get them to that point. They need nothing less than total understanding and compassion.

This is my sister she was living with the guy she said treated her worse than any pimp ever did she was found dead her death is being investigated she was a lost soul but was beautiful inside and out I love her with all my heart she made lots of bad choices but that doesn’t matter now . She has no more addiction no more pain and sorrow she is at piece now I love you my sweet sister until we meet again ❤️❤️❤️

Never thought I'd hear someone in their fifties say "hit a lick"

It’s a shame she is still doing what she is doing at this stage of her life. It’s crazy that a senior citizen is living this lifestyle.

thank you so much for sharing the worlds unheard voices with us. and thanks to the girls opening up.. im literally crying. this content is so humbling. god bless you i wish yall the best xxx

Her eyes tell a story of someone who has lived many life times in her 55 years. I genuinely hope she finds peace in the twilight of her life.

Pamela.....if you read this.....know that of the many videos I have watched.....You are special, different, very wise and a beautiful beautiful person......you have gone through SUCH HELL, but I believe your life will come full circle and will pray for you......please hold on and keep trying.....there is a plan for you. Your life will start to slowly change - I promise

There by the grace of God go I. I wish I could hold this woman as a sister and let the pain melt away. God Bless You Pam. I will pray for you.
