- The Camorra is one of the oldest criminal institutions in the world, but how it functions in Naples is changing. New child criminal gangs, and the rise of stunting on social media, as opposed to the long-standing rule of omertà, means that the Camorra seemingly will never be the same.
VICE heads to the infamous Le Vele Di Scampia, and Parco Verde, to meet a child gang that operates there, and a social worker trying to prevent these children from ending up in the clan, prison, or dead. For the first time on camera, we will hear directly from Camorra members, speaking about how they recruit and use children.
00:00 Intro
01:03 What is a ‘Babygang?’
06:22 The Camorra Bosses
12:49 Kids Dealing Drugs

gracias y todo pero el idioma original es insuperable
The fact that they gave her mini send off shows that she did a great job and probably didn't say anything to offend them. She went there to understand them and did that sooo well
Agreed that is their way of showing she will be missed. She probably might have actually done some good for them, showing that there is others out there who care about them besides some nasty creepy old men.
drug dealers who dont scale product and who cant wrap a bag.. yeah sure... just fake like everything else
She wanted something else
All of these kids come from broken homes and she's probably the only adult that's shown them a bit of empathy.
My thing is if there doing this to make money but still living in a ghetto. If I’m going to commit crimes for a living I’m doing it to not be broke with nice clothes and shoes
Huge props for not wasting our time interviewing police.
@FaucioFauci yeah Faucio
@@Revirantless Not if you live in the mement
No need with all the evidence the police here they would have been more than happy letting her get it for them loool these stupid kids forget about moving in silence why explain the process lol but I am here for it makes a fun watch they just have to risk jail to do it
@@w_swim that’s when it happens the fastest “time flies by when you’re having fun”
Thank you! I know it’s so boring when they interview the police. We already know what they’re about.
"We're still young, yet so grown up. They might have tossed us here in Le Vele, but we know how to take care of ourselves. We have the sea. We have the sun. We're a family." Powerful words coming from someone younger than me. Hope these kids the best
👆👆👆Look up that handle, he ships swiftly,
Surest plug🍄🍄🍫💯.....
I would join, i have never fit in anywhere or with anyone not even my own family.
@@Hatxolfpeif your prepared to take someones life or ruin someone elses, then by all means. dont sugarcoat these circumstances for these otherwise good kids
@@Hatxolfpe you probably wont fit in there then tbh
tf they robbing innocent people and killing too , thats aint good thing bozo.
This girl is real, you can really almost feel her empathy, she can fit in with people like family or act like a kid, vice really can pick their anchors man, it’s crazy how good these interviews are when their so young.
This is the old VICE style of content we've been asking for and I love it.
Excellent documentary!
Agree. They got really weird and political for a bit but glad they are changing. I almost gave up
Just some anarchist ciminals
There’s been these exact comments on every video for the last 8 years lmao. You people are clowns.
Agree 100%
I agree
"There is no bad kids, but just awful circumstances" well said
BS
@@spaniardsrmoors6817 fax
yeah that kinda goes out the window when you join a gang , deal drugs, and kill people
You wont be saying that when one of them tries robbing you
@LLS what bs u talking about? , explain me what is the bullshit?
@LLS yeah their choices, and what about the bad influence and their environment?
yeah their choices, I know deep inside they don't want to do it... imagine they might lose their own life to help their own family.
and I think you don't watch the video entirely because the lady said it, and I'm just quoted what she said.
This is real journalism. No judgement, just reporting the story with dignity and humanity. Always keep this interviewer!
This was so honest, it hurts. Like she said there are no bad kids, just bad circumstances. Hope they all find a better future.
The ending made me cry. Hearing a boy, 11 years old saying he would rather risk becoming a drug dealer to save his family from poverty than confide in his parents, is a terrible indictment of Italy's growing inequality and political corruption. P.S Give the journalist a pay rise, I think she connected with these boys with empathy and understanding better than most would have, and in return, the boys were more open and vulnerable with her. It was beautiful to see.
drug prohibition is what funds organized crime, legalization and regulation would take the market out of the hands of organized crime and provide a safer supply and easier treatment for addiction, rather than prosecuting people for completely victimless crimes.
Inequality and corruption have plagued Italy ever since the country was established
@@ChristopherGray00 thats true, but the people dont trust the powers that be to supply safley, and the majority would rather seek a drug dealer, regardless of risk
Unfortunately it's not just an Italian thing. You can see this happening, perhaps to a greater or lesser extent, across many ghettos and poor places across the world. Unfortunately, gangsters recognising and using the fearlessness and desperation of teenagers is not something new. I live in a tough area of London and they do the same thing here all up and down the UK. The rate of kids killing other kids is frightening and it's still not as bad as this area of Italy
Sounds like the pharmaceutical industry
The cinematography in this is amazing. The contrast of the kids cooking, and the kids playing with cocaine. Very well done.
That was kids playing with flour, lol anyone who has seen enough cocaine knows what it looks like.
@@Kyle-cv1mt foreals or that was some stepped on crap. Real shiy is that fishscale iykyk
@@ivanweapon1196 yea it might be 90% baby laxative and 10% cocaine.. Lol
Yeah. Also, that gun was a replica
@@ivanweapon1196 they'd be stupid to really bring them to somewhere were product is moved and kept. id bet its caster sugar or flour.
incredibly in-depth and behind the lines, always thought provoking! Special channel, well done Vice yet again!
This reporter is really good you can see her empathy in the way she gets involved playing cards and giving them warm interactions. Great job!
I love the reporter she's so open and kind to these kids . She's genuinely asking them with respect
she's obscene
@@tingtang9302 care to elaborate?
why did ukraine do this then? ua-cam.com/video/7DF-JqNIOf0/v-deo.html
@@PRTZN she ask questions that can get them killed or seriously injured. Therefore, she is grotesque
@@PRTZN she is a tourist from the upper social classes with a do-nothing "job." somehow she seems surprised at the state of this place... as if she is a mentally handicapped person who has done zero prior research. she walks around clueless with a film crew and pretends to be in danger to bring us this shallow "documentary" of things we already know. it's just gross.
I liked how she didnt try to persuade them or to change their views. She just asked and tried to understand them. Wonderful journalism, bravo! I hope at least some of those ragazzi will have better future in front of them..
She wouldn't be able to, but she said things like "aren't you worried about being killed" "you should open up to your parents about what's happening" she really did try
She’s there to interview them. She’s not there to argue with them and change their views. It’s simple journalism. It’s not ‘wonderful’ journalism.
@@laterskater6341 It's definitely Wonderful in this age of garbage fake journalism
She’s scared you could see it early on
True
The fact that she actually was intrested in what the kids do without judging them and them giving her the respect back proofs what a good repoerter she is
Excellent piece of best quality journalism,very touching,very raw,good connection ,excellent level of humanity revealed.
Damn... that 13yo kid, Manu... what a tragedy. He seems so sensitive and intelligent and is just trapped by circumstances beyond his control.
why did ukraine do this then? ua-cam.com/video/7DF-JqNIOf0/v-deo.html
Everything you just said is false.
The interviewer began to look at the last boy she interviewed like a sister or mother talking to her own brother, or son, but for the last time she’d ever know him as anything other than a hardened gangster/criminal choosing a lifetime of that path. I got teary eyed looking at her face in that moment, and into her eyes, because you could tell she wanted so badly to hug him, maybe even rescue him if she could, but then you see the reality of her powerlessness to help him show in how her face slowly emotes more and more into a restrained look of despair, sadness, and grief. Man, that was a powerful interview.
Naw she definitely liked one of them
Known as trauma bonding & or social addiction.😊
@@spazzyoffit539 wtf no theyre kids n shes an adult💀
Very touching video, the word these kids speak are so mature but at the same time they feel lost. Like they say, their blood and hearts have gone cold but they're bleeding like the other kids in different better circumstances. Manu is a good example, he might be a listener and not someone who speaks but his eyes and uncertainty are telling the story he really wants to say.
''I'd become someone'' - He hasn't realized yet that his final pants won't have any pockets and it's only a matter of time before he does, but by that time it's already too late.
Manu, had a look of sadness and fear in his eyes. She could sense that as well. I hope he can turn his life around for the better. It’s sad to see any child involved in a life of crime.
Love that Vice has been posting a lot of higher quality content lately. Now please just bring back Thomas Morton and Hamilton Morris!
You said it👌🏻
Their content have been 100% lately.
I think they freed up all his content or you have to pay on Hamilton’s patreon
This is not high quality content, it’s a bunch of losers
This is like Brazils City of God story in the making.
Heartbreaking how the masks they wear to hide their faces and appear tough backfire....you can still see the fear and honest emotions and laughter and innocence of the kids they are in their eyes vs the guarded cynical soul deadened eyes of the adult Cammora gangsters interviewed and seeing that and imagining the transformation to make that happen is so sad
the masks are quite useless I can fully make out most of their faces
I don't know where your from, but where I'm from, scared or not, you didn't have a choice really
As someone that lives in America and visited the ghetto of here and a lot of different countries.. don't think because they young they won't put a few bullets in your head and go home and eat a bowl of spaghetti...in Chicago 80% of the murders are done by kids younger than 21
@Tasty CookBook You make a good point
They are a joke compared to Mexico
Grande Bruno, grazie alle persone come te che ci fanno sperare in un futuro migliore
Really good documentary. I feel sorry for those kids, I also understand it a bit because my own parents are from naples and after having been there many times i understand what it's like there for young people like these ones in the documentary, they are not bad kids but have been groomed by the real criminals due to their vulnerability growing up in a place with so few options and terrible personal circumstances. This doc portrayed their situation for what it truly is instead of making them look like the enemy. well done VICE
I love this reporter , she genuinely tried to understand them and why they do it … the ending really made me cry because they all felt so comfortable with her 🥹
whats her name
@@PK-le2ok Alessia Camoirano
Stfu!u pity them till one of them shoot u or rob u one day
Thanks for not interviewing the cops and instead talking with the actual gangs. You made sure to not say anything to offend them and instead trying to understand them. "I realized there's no bad kids, but just awful circumstances" well done bro respect.
Da italiano 🇮🇹 questa giornalista è veramente brava e rispettosa
The sad, lost look and demeanor of the youngest kid at the end contemplating his bleak prospects was heartwrenching.
@13:54 I agree. That kid looks sooo young and has a giant nose 👃
that's 🧢, I've been there last year, i don't know if I've met exactly these kids but I've met some of the gang kids, they can find jobs and work but that's boring and not paid enough, selling drugs is easier, so don't fall for their emotional "we had no choice we had to do it for our families" bullshit
@@condelgizzlo1445 not now he can't, if he leaves he risks consequences
@@condelgizzlo1445 Literally in the first 2 minutes they go from "we have no other options we would never do this if our family didn't need it" to "we love this life it makes us feel special". I guess the idea becomes more appealing the poorer you are.
IM 42 did two years in strict conditions inside correcttional faxility majority of them deserve my compassion
This broke my heart and you could tell how bad the interviewer felt
😂These kids are clowns 🤡 any human is capable of learning a skill and providing for themselves or family.

@@condelgizzlo1445 Working for minimum wage is no way to live. You have no money to support yourself let alone support an entire family so cut the BS they made the right choice to live a fufilling life rather than clean toilets for the rest of yourlife and as a end result become an drug addict due to depression and failure.
@@condelgizzlo1445 "and not paid enough." You contradicted yourself because why work a job that still leaves you hungry or cold?
@@Azshare554 not paid enough to have a lavish lifestyle, I've seen how people live that work there, it's not much but they still manage to survive, it's manageable
the comparing shots from the children baking and cleaning up the flour and the children lining up the coke was beautiful and showed the absolute absurdity of the situation there...
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Yes, that's right. I researched and found out that shrooms are very helpful, it has really helps to reduce anxiety and depression. I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase one?
The trips I've been having have really helped me a lot, I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well

@@HelenIbarra-rl3bqPlease how do I get in touch with him?
@@AnjaAlbrecht-xs3zzSporeville
the conversation with the youngest one was gut wrenching man, you could see the kid was almost crying after realising that Hes handed his life away to drug dealers who will ultimately betray him one day, he could barely hold it together when the women sat him down and spoke to him like a human instead of a drug solider.
True
When she told him don't worry he almost broke down I know I sure did 😔
I felt 2
and you can't even leave. u gotta worry about death for the rest of your life.

The last KID
@@japiro14 correct
Is this video real ?
@@f6cks Yes it Is
This is just proof that if you really want to fight crime, you need to focus on lifting people out of poverty, not cracking down harder...
If they were rich they'd still get into crime; it's the excitement that pulls them, the right road is too hard to follow; school and some sort of trade, but that money don't come as quick.
@@melvinbarnett1910 that's bullshit it's poverty, desperation and shitty families. No normal child is going to willingly kill people and risk their life like this.
Agreed
@@melvinbarnett1910 if they were rich they'd have another option. Being poor gives you less choices, usually broken family, traumas, poor environment, low education and then you get given the option to get easy money and live a "exciting life". Think a little before saying that it hasn't anything to do with poverty.
@@melvinbarnett1910 If people were better off financially, they have too much to lose whether that be education, sports, family, etc. They also wouldn’t be as vulnerable to the mafia’s social media tactics.
Wanted to say, the cinematography showing the vastly different groups of teens, one bagging cocaine and the other baking with flour was brilliant. Great work!
Flour haha
Any adult that twists a child's heart and mind like that deserves no mercy.
The adult that twists the child's heart like that, was once the child that had his / her heart twisted. It's an evil cycle. One day it's likely one of those boys will be the ones recruiting 12-13 year olds (unless they die or go to jail first which I'm sure is very possible). I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying it's a brutal system that isn't easy to dismantle (is it even possible? who knows)
Say that to your government dingus
@@AshtonAU : ( spot on
They dont get random kids on street and make them do things. They recruit kids that are already criminals and want to move up on ladders. They will be criminals most likely for life even without adults recruitin them. Its mindset that these kids have that got them into gang life
@@ronaldlim7214 its kinda sketchy thing to do but im not sure where that reporter got that info cause if u rly think about it, would they rly ask their members to do that i mean there is always kids that gonna be interested in that lifestyle and usually those posts where they flex money, cars etc are because their egos i mean even criminals want attention and admiration thru social media(i know criminals should lay low but many times they dont nowdays) im just questioning it cause it sounds little odd that bosses would even ask them to do that kinda things cause i bet there is tons of gangsters that rly wanna go under reidar and dont wanna cause unwanted attention by postin stupid flexin videos. My opinion is that they dont do that kinda groomin on purpose its just good side effect for them that comes when some of them flaunt their status on ig. But i cant be sure ofc, maybe some boss rly asked their soldiers to do that but it just sound little silly to me thats all
The contrast between the kids shaking off the flour and shaking off the cocaine from their hands is insane. Does a good job at showing how big the problem is!
big shoutout to the reporter very professional work respectful and asking good questions!!
20:45 What a heartbreaking moment. You can feel the pain in such a young kids eyes. I pray that these kids have a better future
Il documentario più vero e onesto sulla criminalità italiana. Incredibile che serva una tv estera per dimostrare il disagio nel nostro paese. Assurdo
già
Non è cambiato niente, tanti anni fa quando facevo il militare alcuni ragazzi da scampia del mio scaglione mi raccontavano le stesse cose.
Complimenti alla ragazza che ha fatto il video.
@@n-x_ Perché se il contesto non subisce modifiche, potranno passare anni e generazioni ma le cose rimarranno sempre uguali. Senza lavoro, istruzione e tutela dei figli di famiglie disagiate la situazione sarà sempre questa. Ovviamente a parole è facile, ma con un po' di sforzo si possono fare progressi, anche piccoli
almeno la giornalista è italiana
E strano comunque che i camorristi ti portano dentro casa , poi quella coca tutta a polvere boh…quasi che sembra finto…
Hey VICE, this is an INCREDIBLE piece of documentary but PLEASE make it available with italian subtitles as well. Italians need to be able to watch and understand this more than anyone else! Kudos to the reporter also, I want to see more of her
why did ukraine do this then? ua-cam.com/video/7DF-JqNIOf0/v-deo.html

19:15 the editing is amazing. Props to the editor
Wtf are you even talking about??
didnt notice til i read this comment
4 what
19:39 ..... can't help thinking that this kid Mano has so much potential and intelligence....they say that still water runs deepest and even though he doesn't talk much and is the youngest you really get a sense of the drives, inner conflicts, loneliness, guilt, despair and desire both pushing and pulling them to and from this lifestyle that is masked by the bravado and humor of his friends....the materialist envy, the lack of opportunities, a childhood that never was a childhood and the resulting desire for respect and companionship forms a drain from which many can't escape but I hope he realizes that there is another way out with his intelligence and drive (especially because of these because I can't help but feel that the Camorra will recognize these values in him and make him a corrupted and dangerous man if he continues) if he studies and leaves for a place with more opportunities. Even if regular life is hard and less exciting, I wish him and all the rest of them the best in escaping their path....life oftentimes seems like a rushing river dragging you along a current you can't escape but there is always a choice...always

@@condelgizzlo1445 a work for a kid in Naples? He can get a 2€/h in the worst cases. The situation it's bad there.
You underestimate the Camorra, it is a parallel government in Naples, working for the Camorra it's considered a work where you can make yourself a name.
Those kids seemed pretty nice. Lots of jokes and they are clearly good friends. This makes it even more sad that they have to grow up and live like this.
que documental tan hermoso, no tenia idea de que estas cosas pasaran con tantos niños en europa, buen trabajo
give this journalist a raise!!!
stop with that stupid comment. It's annoying seeing in every video, for every situation.
@@YouSurfincry about it
Incredible documentary through and through, but one little detail I picked up that is especially powerful is the way they cut between the shots at 19:15 to compare/contrast the kids moving the flour across the table and the young cammoristi cutting and moving the lines of coke. Two different avenues of life, but the wrong one seems to have the more powerful grasp. Cinematic editing there.
The projects there give me dystopian vibes
This is the Vice I Subscribed to once upon a time long ago! This is the content we want. Must say it was 👌🏽 how u showed everything and so good questions asked from Alessia. Beautiful 👏🏼
The fixers, cameras and interviewer are world class in this. Thank you to everyone who made this insight in to these realities available to all, it's a real shame that when the only way to make money from drugs is focused on street pushers and not the international legalised pilots, it's going to be a long while until elders stop leading youths into battles where they are the only Victorias.
I hope all these young "G's" will have other options in the very near future, and become an army for their community instead of preying on it and blaming it.
ALL of those elders should be ashamed, yes we had hardships like no others but that is NO excuse to perpetuate and idealise a life that only benefits you.
Be real men! Stop using kids! And kids they're not real men just because they have a gun, a few euros is all it takes, is that what life is worth?
I‘m italian and this video makes me very sad. It makes me sad that our politicians don‘t do anything for this kids… We all know the problem of Scampia and Secondogliano but it seems that nobody cares about it.. Thanks for this amazing video, that shows me another time that I should be grateful to grow up in better circumstances than these kids
These poor kids are so misguided and taken advantage of by the worst excuse of an adult. Absolutely heartbreaking and hitting really close to home for me.
I too was mislead and taken advantage of by much much older adults which lead to completely no child hood, an 8 year long battle with opioid addiction as well as countless other substance abuse problems, kleptomania , being sexually abused- all of these things happened before I even turned 12. I’m 21 now and approaching 2 years sober from all drugs, especially opioids.
People like this are no one to look upto , they will use you until you are either useless to them because you either got caught too many times or were one of the lucky ones to understand where this path will take you , and therefore you stop before it’s too late. By then you will likely end up with severe trauma and depression, substance abuse disorders, and very upset parents. Best thing to do is leave all these goofy friends behind , seek help from your parents and a therapist , use every resource available to you to turn your life around and do something good for yourself.
hahaha u got sexually abused lolll.. U a man and u weak smh
stay strong brother
I don't think these kids can leave as they were going to be killed if they didn't commit the crimes they are being told to do, it's human trafficking but with kids as it's easier to manipulate.
@@aurora6920 thats some vice bs, they wouldnt kill those kids because off that.
Good luck, stay strong
This journalist has heart.
Amazing reporter, really felt the connection she made between her and the kids. Really heartbreaking
Such unfortunate reality for so many children and people. Sometimes people are forced to do unwanted things to fend themselves and their family. Not everyone does it for selfish motives. Loved this content and definitely appreciated the interaction of the host with the kids. Well done!
So many familiar shots from HBOs Gomorrah! Thought I might see Ciro and Genny for a sec lol
There is a TV series called "Mare Fuori" and it talks about juvenile prison in Napoli and the stories of the kids who end up there
That was a fucking triumph! That was told with so much empathy, everyone involved should be really proud of that production. The way we treat our most vulnerable makes me feel fucking disgusting at times, I felt real joy watching you. Thank you.
Yeah making money off of showing child abuse great video! Then not helping police finding those involved (helping the criminals) all so she and Vice can make a buck. Yeah but what a great thing they did exploiting these already exploited kids huh?
NO OFFENCE MEANT OF COURSE
Great interviewer asked all the right questions and showed great emotion
Amazing documentary.
The interviewer was perfect ! You can tell she really cares for ppl
Very powerful videography with the transitions back and forth between shots of ex members learning to be kids again dusting the flour off their hands to shots of the current members doing the same gestures after bagging up cocaine.
why did ukraine do this then? ua-cam.com/video/7DF-JqNIOf0/v-deo.html
you idyot? im sicilian and this Is reality of Italy and italian mafia, most Powerfull mafia in World NDRANGHETA
Good content! Ground zero work always best done by y'all❤
i can tell she just wanted to give hun a hug man
As a man who came from this type of shi i love all the kids of the world these kids are special, we that come from the Ghetto have a different approach to life much more romantical ! I shed some tears watching this vid ngl
Really amazing work here. So heartbreaking. Well done to all involved in this piece.
This is one proper documentary. Thank you Vice
Servizio incredibile. Bravissimi.
Its genuinely awful seeing these kids growing up in locations that look like the world ended. I wish I knew how we could help them have a happy childhood and life. Sorry if my wording sounded rude to any degree, I'm not good at putting feelings like this into words.
You did well.
Great documentary. Keep up the good work Vice!
Vice has been on a roll this past year. This is quality journalism.
*incredibly well made documentary, I hope that the Italian government does more to create jobs in Naples and starts taking accountability for the root cause of crime, lack of opportunity*
5:43 "la teniamo per bellezza?" non ha tutti i torti lol btw as an italian, u guys cannot even image how real this reportage is.. it's really rare see this reality that clear.. a really beatiful job
You never see reality like this from main stream media.
Well done vice for covering the truth, and showing reality the real reason what drives children teens, and adults to drugs, crime. The unemployment, poor economy, lack of opportunity, education and of course terrible circumstances.
Hope vice keeps bringing out reality
From deep inside even journalist probably also felt uncomfortable and unsafe at times of documentary.
Where do you live that msm doesn't show kids being groomed into gangs? Atp isn't vice mainstream?
Most definitely they did. Its not uncommon for journalists to get killed. Especially when working on a documentary regarding this kind of subject. Remember in order for those kids to get initiated they have to kill somebody or get killed themselves. So all those kids that are standing have killed somebody. With a gun anybody is defenseless it just takes a quick pull of a trigger and somebody is dead.
The only thing that causes crime are evil people!!!
Because the main stream media doesnt exist to inform.
The last kid she interviewed broke my heart. God please help him out of this mess.
So much for my Naples vacation.
And well done to the journalist. You listened to and respected those boys. Well done.
Now this is a big improvement, Vice. Do more pieces with class like this...
I appreciate that video so much
but
17:50 missing blur :(
you can see the emotion in the poor kid's eyes he's hurt inside 20:54
Great work on this. Beautifully filmed
The reporter was so amazing! Empathetic with leads to openness, comfort and honesty. Beautiful ❤
That’s what I was thinking she bad as hell
i hope to God everyday of my life that all this kids and teens stay safe
Heartbreaking to see these kids tell lie after lie after lie in an effort to try and look tough when it's obvious they are terrified around their bosses etc
Vice finally doing Vice again? Happy to see it, keep it up.
Good reporting☀️⚖️
