As a mother of a 15 year old I can’t even begin to imagine throwing my son out in the streets because he was smoking weed. His mom literally gave him to the streets. Is really sad.
@@TempermentalTart You only live once and it's a very very short life any mother who throws their kids kn the street for any reason are disgusting animals! I wouldn't throw my kids out no matter what they did drugs it murder or anything I still wouldn't!
@@natashabegley1346 so you would harbor a murderer without concern for the rest of your family. Help the world and don’t become a parent. Your moral compass is defective.
This interview is powerful. Up there with my most favourite interviews. He told his life story so eloquently and kept it real. No ‘bragging’ or ‘feel sorry for me’ mentality. Just the facts 💯. There needs to be more support out there for our young people. For him to come out of prison and turn his life around, he is such a role model. This video should be shown in schools!! I wish Glodi a happy and successful, peaceful life. I hope his parents can now be proud of him xx
A great story teller. Articulated so well clearly showing acknowledgment and understanding of his past situation. This young boy, with the proper guidance, could have been anything he wanted. Special guy, hope he succeeds in life going forward.
As a dad who’s chosen to do some bad things in his life, this is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever heard and made me reflect on my mistakes. This guy was forced into a life that I chose because I idolised it. I will do whatever I can to ensure my Son never goes down the path I took. So glad it’s behind me.
All these moments he talked about being a child not understanding what he was really doing and bigger older people just taking advantage of his youth and lack of knowledge . That's just heartbreaking. This is exactly how children get exploited across the world.
@@jaynepaige5702what do you even mean? He didn't make himself out "to be innocent" at all. He explained in about 30 different ways how not innocent he was.
“Put me in jail for selling drugs, but don’t start labelling me a human trafficker because there’s real human traffickers out there that are really trafficking humans” Such a chilling interview, first in a while I sat down to watch and couldn’t stop. I remember seeing Glodi at school and had no idea he was going through what he was going through. Despite the setbacks, his mindset is top notch and he articulates himself and speaks so well in this interview and I no doubt he’ll completely turn his life around for the better 💯
Minimizes what county lines is though innit? It is trafficking and it is grooming. It's not as bad as the Morecambe Bay cocklers but that don't make it alright.
@@statementleaver8095 of course they were wrong but at they end of the day criminals will always be criminals, you can’t expect them to have a moral code. His parents on the other hand put him as a young teenager into a position to be exploited by kicking him out! Like wtf
@@chiniquewalters4994 No difference between Government and Criminal. Both DEPEND ON PRINTED CURRENCY.......It's NOT Water or Oxygen that Humans Require 🤯🤯🤯
This was painful to watch knowing how he was failed by his family and the system. I hope he can turn his life around. Thank you for sharing your story with us
@PinotGrigio The majority of people that are failed by the system statically become criminals or addicts. What are you on about? The minority that don't are not the rule-they're lucky
A silly comment. He failed himself, yes his parents failed him, but he did it to himself too. You can choose to get out and work hard like a man, or choose the easy path into that “bad man” life style
@@jonathanmorris2283 Yes But He Was Doomed From The Start. Especially Being New To A Country, The Heavy Influence, And No Support At Home. He Never Really Saw His Dad, There Really Was No Guidance.
Yhh, I think he didn't have that "top boy" "road man" ego or mentality, even from a young age, despite hanging around on the streets from his teen years and the lifestyle he was exposed to. He was just into surviving, making money and stuck to his job.
I love these type of interviews, it is easy to label people on the horrible things they did, but to listen to story of how they got there puts it in perspective.
Glodi is no joke, what he's been through to were he is now, can only be a brilliant thing. People like this shows the realness in the way life is. Hat off to him. Respect
This was a tough one! I’m just floored by how they treated and mishandled a young kid, and didn’t give any kind of support… unacceptable! I’m just glad you are alive, healthy and keeping yourself active with your fitness! You an inspiration bro!
I like him a lot. His parents left a little boy to fend for himself. He had to survive.. It looks like he's changed for the better and still has plenty of respect for his parents. Good luck for your future Glo, I think life has good things in store for you
As a trainee criminal barrister, there were so many failings that happened with this young man. Truly saddened by this story. I represent people like this regularly, but you never have enough time to understand their back story and to most, they're just another gang member/drug dealer. It's truly sad. It started in the home..he didn't have a safe space when he reached out. I feel so sad for what he went through.
@@jaynepaige5702throwing out a 13 year old for smoking some weed is literally insane. What do you expect that child to do? There is no legal way for them to make money and support themselves. They can't just go get a job. There is only so many times their friends parents will let them sleepover.. so then what? If you dont have anyone else that will take you in.. an urban setting like that, you have few options. You can steal food to survive.. but then where do you sleep? You need money. So you can steal and sell things. You can sell yourself. Or you can sell drugs. The options are pretty limited. He also was from a foreign country, and probably didn't know about things like child welfare offices or social services. His parents throwing him out really just set him up to go down an even worse path. If they would have sat down with him, had an honest conversation about drugs and the consequences, what could happen, and disciplined him in a responsible way, his whole life could have been different. I don't blame any child for what they had to do to survive on the grimy ass streets of London, alone at 13 years old.
@@jaynepaige5702 did you not watch the video or something? He smoked weed in the house and had bad grades in school, how is this in any way "too disrespectful"? It's not a valid reason to kick your own 13 year old out of the house.
This is the saddest and most upsetting human story I’ve heard in a long time. I really really wish him well. I also wish his parents well because it seems like they are victims of the system as immigrant parents as well. God has more for you. DO NOT GIVE UP!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
He’s parents failed him due to lack of knowledge not acknowledging they were in a totally different environment in England and not acknowledging the challenges they wouldn’t face in the Congo with him growing up is totally different here culturally getting caught smoking weed by African parents is a huge thing as an adult let alone a child in the home. They were absolutely wrong for kicking him out they clearly thought he will just come home and be remorseful hence they kept going to the police when they realised that wasn’t the case and the police didn’t do their job regarding him being a 13year old child who tells a child if you tell us you are ok we will leave you alone that sounds crazy but the system is built against him even without the predicament he found himself. He is a massive testimony of going through and not giving up
I was a middle class white teenage girl also thrown out of the house after an argument and ended up staying with an older boyfriend in a flat selling drugs that got raided and robbed resulting in us being in debt to v dangerous people and a terrible sequence of events. It’s scary how fast young people can be Exploited and criminalised for it.
@@originalunoriginal4055 sometimes we make the only right choices available to us . Glodi had no option but to sell on the streets-the streets were his shelter, what better choices could he have made ?
People who grow up in different environments often don't understand how difficult it is to grow up in an area where drugs and crime are at the forefront of everything. You can't even go to school without the mention of drugs. Teenagers especially are deeply influenced by the older people around them. They don't realise the seriousness of the situations they are involved in and often only find out when it's too late.
What a story... I can really see this guy working with kids, perhaps youth officer ?? Or probation officer or something along those lines. Not impossible with time, mentoring and some education. He just needs someone to invest in him so he can spin that shiz into gold. Wishing you nothing but good things moving forward. I can see a bright, honest, reflective young man with a lot to offer and a unique perspective inside the underbelly of our society. That's someing that can help kids make better choices. I'm really rooting for him to go on and do good things. Thank you for sharing. You deserved a better deal than you got. But I have a saying " where roads end, God starts". Meaning good things come from suffering if you let it.
This guy is a terrible person. And he’s told multiply lies. When he’s claiming he was homeless, he lived rent free for months near my sister block on Sunderland mount until he got arrested. He’s never been homelesss he ran away and his “dad” was looking for him. Another thing my kids witness. Why are people glorifying this lying drug dealer. And isn’t it propaganda if you don’t find out all the information and just put out anything on social media for people to lap up. Did anyone actually read the court documents in this vile specimen. He stripped and mentally disabled young man naked (who was working for him sell drugs) and put a gun in his mouth because he lost Glodi’s drugs. Can we not glorify these stains of the earth people.
Social services rather keep kids away from parents so they can get money from government, they try minimal, most of the boys end up in jail..from my experience
For someone who didn't go to school this man is so articulate. And although he takes responsibility for everything he has done really didn't have a chance In life. I believe if he was given a chance at the beginning this man would have gone on to do good things
@@originalunoriginal4055sometimes you have to think to yourself before speaking or commenting, and ask "does what I'm about to say/write actually contribute to the conversation in a meaningful, helpful or insightful way? Or do I just sound like a pretentious dickwad who is inserting their own ignorant and unwanted opinion because it makes me feel smart or included or whatever?" This time, in your case, you just sounded like an ignorant asshole. In case you were wondering. Maybe next time you'll do better.
@@originalunoriginal4055 "Articulate" doesn't mean having a wide vocabulary and using obscure words, it just refers to one's ability to convey sentences; which Glodi is pretty good at *especially* given he's had little schooling, and is telling personal stories that would have most people choking
Thanks for sharing your story Glodi. I can’t imagine what a wild world your 5 year old self arrived to and how difficult that must have been at such a young age. Looking forward to seeing your future unfold into something positive 🙏🏼
This is heartbreaking! Failed by everyone really, immigrant parents' mentality can be detrimental (high expectations and minimal support). As a witness of growing up with boys like this, his peers would have made it seem cool too. The police's conduct is disgusting, it was outright negligence (when he was reported missing) and abuse when he they stopped him on road and when he got arrested by not doing due diligence. By law he was a CHILD! I feel so angry on his behalf. May God grant you, Glo, the strength, peace and joy to continue on the straight and narrow. Doing right ain't easy, but it's light on your soul.
So you're blaming the police instead of the parents? Parents think they can have kids and just ditch em when they not happy, we never asked to be born, so when we are here we are the responsibility of our parents, if you can't afford(money time love and effort) kids please don't have them, it does not work out great..😔
@@mediaking9270 Even millionaires report their missing children to the Police. There are protocols (as pertaining to children) that the police then need to follow, they didn't follow them. You can Google child protection!
I’m only 3 mins in and I’m hooked, the title drew me in. I was arrested for child trafficking under the modern day slavery act back in 2018. My ting was dropped at the station after my solicitor read over everything they had, thankfully. Due to bill 3 zoots and listen to your story 👊🏾 👑🙌🏾
Respect the mans honesty, most of us make mistakes when we are younger and this guy (Glodi) seems like he wanted to do the right thing in life but at the time it just wasn't that easy, good luck for the future mate.
Watched from start to finish. This mans life is tragic in so many ways. He is a product of a broken system, not just in one area, but across the board. The illegal drug market is disgusting. I wish this man well in the future, and the channel has earned a subscriber.
This is really sad if I’m honest. System failed him on numerous occasions and he was groomed because he was naive and didn’t know any different. I hope he finds peace in life as he seems like a nice lad.
The Police TRIED to ruin this man’s life. Sentencing him for human trafficking, basically saying he forced the 16 year old to sell drugs, and then still sentencing the 16 year old for selling drugs even though their other case was based on him being taken advantage of ???doesnt make any sense.
Or he was old enough to know right from wrong and still decided to be a dent in this society. He ruined his own life and many others by the sounds of things
My heart goes out to this brother. He's clearly been through some stuff. Salute to his grit, bravery and determination and can only admire him for surviving through this and never letting go. Can't believe his parents kicked him out at such a young age.
I don’t normally comment but I was touched by his story! His parents, the education systems, the prison system, safeguarding, the police! They all let him down and that’s unacceptable! They all owe him an apology! I love the way he articulates his story and his Choice of language and words! I pray that you find peace and trust God for an extraordinary future because anything is possible!
I truly wish Glodi nothing but success and happiness in his future. He is a good person that just lacked guidance from a responsible adult and a very vulnerable age.
I feel so bad for him. His parents failed him from day one 😢 and how could they kick their own child out at 13/14 over smoking?! What did they think that would lead to? Left him vulnerable to get groomed by gangs. They should be ashamed
I did the same thing at 13/14 as many school children do but my parents nurtured me back onto the right path, I feel sorry not everyone has that experience though
@@soundmind6477 there are no two sides about it. Its unacceptable for parents to kick their own 13 year old child out to be vulnerable to predators, gangs and danger. It’s their fault he even ended up hanging with those people anyway after getting bullied and them not listening to him and doing nothing about it. They should be ashamed. No loving parent in their right mind would do this to their child over something so small that they could have disciplined him for in a healthy responsible way
@@BIG2hats exactly. It’s common teenage behaviour. Any responsible and loving parent would discipline their child appropriately and talk to them about it to stop it from happening again
@@ayshiaarmani exactly. nobody asked to be born into this world so don’t be out here popping out babies if your going to kick them out and leave them homeless and vulnerable instead of putting him on the right path or doing something to help.
The Biggest tragedy 😢 was his parents kicking him out of their home at the tender age of 14....From then on, it was obvious how he was going to end. There ARE worse criminals heading Financial institutions WORLDWIDE....They don't get caught because they are not only HIGHLY Educated ,but know how to keep their necks off the Noose...... EDUCATION should NEVER BE underestimated! I wish the young man all the best....🙏
After listening to Glodis story from the beginning it is very easy to understand how his life went in the direction that it did . As one myself who also detested Comprehensive school one can completely understand how Glodi turned to violence when he had had enough of strangers making fun of him for no apparent reason . Animals are more civilised than these bullies who deserve a good smack in the chops for deliberately making people feel low and worthless . Glodi comes across as a very intelligent and knowledgeable young man who will find his own way in life and will be a success in what ever he decides to do . Good Luck Glodi👍.
Perfect example of not taking responsibility for your own actions and blaming other people for the direction he took in life. That’s the trend this day and age. It’s never your fault but someone else’s.
I wish him nothing but the best, hopefully he can come back on this platform and give us an update in the future. I know he’s destined for great things. May God be with him ❤️
This is sad, basically groomed into selling drugs. Systemically failed, scapegoated with overzealous charges. He was really primed and groomed for this life, hope he stays out and starts his life again with the right support
Rough story right from the get go..hope he goes on too better things now he's only 29,wish him good luck he's a good talker for somebody who been through all that 👍
Saved this one for later, your channel is going to blow up I’m starting to see it grow massively. Props to getting better audio that really helps, next year you’ll be getting 100k plus views easily
You sound like a genuine dude, i'm real sorry you fell between the cracks. It's great to hear youre not getting stuck being bitter, because u have the potential to change your life around despite your record - you don't belong inside. You are a well spoken and intelligent man who is humble and genuine, you have more going for u than many. So much more to life and you deserve to live it, without all the bullshit that goes with street life... Dont let the bastards get you down and dont get sucked into quick money - theres so much more to life you just have to work hard and think outside the box. Use your story if it helps you..or others like you..just stay true
Came for a quick dip in and stayed the duration. I lived in Portsmouth at the time he talks about here so it took on a reality I wasn't expecting. all the best Glo, been through more than most💪🏾👍🏾
This is why i am so kind to anyone i meet on my be it train,bus,bus stop,station,work, you just never know what ppl have been through....I hope the Universe is now kind to you and you have turned ur life around..and you are helping the same boys who are currently in this situation...
This documentary really got to me 😢, it’s so difficult to watch and seeing how different decisions have impacted someone’s life. Glodi articulated his story so well. The system really failed him at all angles. I really hope he can have another opportunity at this life.
People are saying “the system failed him” but the truth is this is the story of many little black boys who the world failed and then incriminated them for it. I am excited to see where he is headed. I haven’t been this touched by a story in a while. I wish you all the goodness this world has to offer.
You are so articulate Glodi and you don't shirk away from the cold hard reality of your actions. I hope you can turn your life around as you have the potential to be such an instrument for change to divert others at risk of going down your same path - your story is so powerful. Wishing you all the success in your endeavours young man - please stay on a legitimate path. NB - Glod's social media contacts are posted in the comments below for all those that want to support Glodi going forward.
You'll go far in life lad. Even though you've been inside the majority of your life so far, you still seem like a decent person. Hope to hear from you in the future x
@@JJ-1818 so why the people that were buying the drugs he was selling not taking accountability for their actions for doing so??? Redemption. I wonder if you ever made some effed up choices? I’m sure you have. Did you redeem yourself from poor choices or wrongs you may have committed in your life time thus far??
@@CapreDiem42 absolutely, but, to call a man who hasn’t yet proven he has repented from his distractive ways to himself & society, remember his only been out for 6 months but people are calling/labelling him “decent” when he spent all his life committing crimes.🤡🤯 He has a lot to do before he can be trusted and assimilated into society until then he must face the consequences of his actions, no one but he choice to act in an unlawful manner even after he started college the money sounded too good to put his head down and educate himself so he could have a better outcome, you know how many of his country men would love to have the opportunity he had, to come to the UK so they could study & make something of themselves.
Perfect example why good people shouldn’t mix or get involved with bad peoples. Guy seriously groomed and abused by street dealers. Really angered me listening to his experience
How come I cant get groomed? How come none of my family knee deep in a shithole got groomed when the guy at the end of the road had 4.5 mill and 110kg of coke stop believe their bollocks he got caught out and squealed
@@rarebreed748 from 13 that’s all he knew literally. He did bad things but out of pure ignorance. He was 14 selling for older peers in Hastings, to him that was just the circle of life. He knows better now.. plus he didn’t get anyone to do anything, that 16yr old and Glodi where working together & both working for someone higher up. On top of that the poor 16 year old that got taken away from his family got thrown in jail anyway, yeah great work 👍🏿
@@4thequeen766 go back on time when you was 14? Did you know what was wrong and good? Did you know selling drugs at 14 was wrong? Yes everybody at 14 knows it's wrong! This filthy animal broke people's family because he was selling them drugs and you want me to feel sorry for him? What was his excuse when you went college and left to sell drugs? Don't come to me with them stupid talks
@@tabularasa7775 because people want to find fault in society but not in him! He had a good family! They took him back a few times! His dad even called him! He choose that life! He went college and left! Start taking responsibility!
Sad thing is he was brought here for a better life got bullied to the point of searching for support in the wrong place with the wrong people. Left to survive as a kid by his parents to spiralling into county lines….PARENTS listen to your children try to support and empathise lets end the cycle of this life and not let them look up to the wrong people!
Very good documentary and a good insight to the true perspective of selling drugs. You see drug dealers with nice things but you don’t ever stop to realise they risked their life’s for this stuff!
He said he done bad in school, but he's extremely intelligent. He could have easily exceeded in any profession if he wanted to. Drug dealers seriously underestimate what good business men they'd make through selling & making a living legally.
@@tabularasa7775 You can have your perspective as much as I can have mine. What I see in him may differ from what you do but I still stick by what I said. If it comes off as "cringey" to you then who actually cares lol. Argue in a corner with yourself about it and have a nice day :)
You lot shut the fuck up, u can blantinly See a man tryna change the whole narrative and be open about this life cah no one else is tryna give this real spit, good on you glodi keep pushing bro this was brave
@@merryghostown691 Are you dumb or are you stupid? Don't piss me off and direct your anger at the right people! That was the point I was trying to make in the first damn place. Read the comments properly before you go around telling ppl to shut up and you shut the hell up!
I think in theory only some drug dealers would do well making a living legally and the others just won't make it. I've seen comments like this on a few occasions and apart from Glodi's account, we hear about drug dealers making it rain with all their financial gains and then changing their lives. If all we ever heard were stories such as Glodi's would you and others think they'd have good business acumen, if they went legit? Just a thought.
@@PuffPuff279 That's a reasonable point.. It does depends on the person for sure, but I just feel Goldi could go far. I personally admire the way he carries himself & see something special in him that's all. It would be foolish to say all drug dealers could make it because that's not really realistic but some possibly.
No matter who we are what colour our skin is we are human, we all make mistakes. Yet us humans fight and we make best of a situation become survivers. No matter how bad we've done we can become a better people, learn from our mistakes. This guy is going to be okay because the path he's been on has learnt him more than any school or book could ever do.
Truely sad. How can you send a child out of the house at 14. To do what? How is he meant to survive at such an impressionable age. Sometimes immigrant families are just interested in surviving that they miss a lot of things. Bullying is traumatizing and has dangerous effects on the minds of kids.
These immigrant parents don’t know a damn thing and think they know everything. Formal school education will not make your child the best form of themselves alone
@@livelifenasty Not only was your comment very stupid, but it was also very ignorant. Keep those kinds of thoughts to yourself. You don’t know about immigrates and that is evident from your comment.
Glodi took wrong opportunities at the right time, what I mean by this is he got caught off guard at his lowest point and saw that as his ticket out, also I can tell the way he explains things it’s like he had no other option because that was the ONLY option that accepted him this refers back to when he was getting bullied, no one liked him until he started fighting back so his conception was to go down that route to be likeable by the people who are ALREADY on bad paths. If he was educated by someone who acc cared for him he wouldn’t be who he is, at the end of the day he was a runner and the older only wanted to make ps and only really helped him when the situations was over just to keep a peace of mind because he knew you was already lost.
I just want to give him a big hug..a young male at 14 kicked out the house with no role model it's no wonder he was taken advantage of (selling drugs) ..he's been through it.. getting stabbed not feeling to he can say anything to his parents..then the system let him down BIG TIME..His story should be spoken about in schools, young boys would learn alot from the real stuff that can happen when your parents haven't got your back. Or are to blind to see another way to help there son. LONDON IS A HARD PLACE TO BE ON THE STREETS..GOD BLESS YOU
That was incredibly moving. Excellent account and story telling. Amazon came to drop off a parcel and I was cussing because I didn't want to miss not one word.
I'm glad I watched this. I expected this to be another damning video that paints the black person as a 'pure evil thug'. Well done for taking this video in another direction, and well done to the interviewee. He is a brave guy for doing this! 👏 More black criminals need to be open about how they get caught up in crime, and they need to be honest about the negative sides of being a criminal. Openness from men needs to be respected in the black community so they can feel comfortable enough to be open. They need to be given the opportunity and the right platforms - with the least amount of bias - to express themselves. People need to appreciate that black criminals deal with mental, emotional and physical damage - just like any other non-black criminal - which facilitates turning to crime to make good money. *We need more videos like this in the media and fewer videos glorifying black-on-black violence.* Ignorant people will watch music videos encouraging the latter, and they'll view biased news stories and then conclude that 'all black people are inherently thuggish and emotionless'. _Glorify_ the humanization of _all_ people, and _glorify_ being open about struggles. Black people have feelings, _just like_ any other race. They get bullied _just like_ every other race. *But, they are probably told to hide their pain **_more than_** any other race.* Black people get called 'white' when they are educated, classy or well-spoken. Black men get called 'gay' if they are gentle and show emotions; they are likened to a female's genitalia if they don't react to disrespect in a way black people are shown to stereotypically react to it on so many media platforms. *Work needs to be done to help make the word 'black' synonymous with: patient, hard-working, trustworthy, protective, loyal, sympathetic, empathetic, and smart.* More of the British government's funding needs to go towards mental health support, counselling, parental training, housing support, teaching assistance, learning difficulty/disability testing, teaching facilities, school expansions, and schooling for those with special education needs. These types of support are severely lacking in poorer borough sub-districts. All humans deserve to be humanised! 🤖❌️
He told them he doesn’t want to go to school, they did nothing. Not even query or understand how he is transitioning in a new environment…he was bullied and nothing was done. He was never protected as a child 😭
It’s sick. How traumatic that was for him, feeling vulnerable and defenseless…. Never protected as a child then thrown out of the house as a child. I bet his parents say they are Christian and attend church every Sunday. A bunch of hypocrites.
Thankyou for sharing your story with us Glodi. It's just so sad to think that most of your life has been spent in jail. By the sounds of things and I can only go by the information you've shared with us, there's alot of factors that I don't believe the police ever took into consideration. It's crazy to think that in so many cases police are just trying to get good media coverage, make arrest, get promotions etc instead of actually doing their jobs the legit and moral way. I really do hope that you're able to heal from all that you've been through, change your life for the better but this time with the support that you desearve and could have potentially saved you from going back to what you were doing when you were younger. You desearve to live the rest of your life as a free man, who is genuinely happy, supported, loved and I hope you find good people who want the best for you, genuinely care about your mental health and well-being. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is soo sad. I am so sorry about your story. Unfortunately, you mother especially failed you totally. Mother’s usually is the last to disown their children, but for her to throw you out at 14 years of age is unforgivable. May the Lord turn things around for better for you. ❤️❤️❤️
This guy has more character, intelligence and maturity than most. Full respect to him for owning his shit, not playing the victim, and getting on with his life. I was se6 many years ago. Well done brother. 💯👍🏻
The failure of the many systems, he passed through that could of made a difference to this young man is really saddening. It would of taken just one person to care and do something, his dad tried.
Glodi is so real you can see the pain in his face it’s so heartbreaking, I really loved this interview its so powerful so educating as well wish him all the luck in the world 😊
My Beloved Brother! You can easily become a Lawer, Community Support Councillor and Mental Health Supporter 💯. You are Beautiful! Your Heart is Pure. Don't let anyone put You down. Your Journey is an example for Us to learn from and it's been a Long Time Coming 👑 I can't wait for the Movie 😘 Keep Shinning Your Light! My door is Always Open 💚💛❤
Thanks for sharing your story and giving people insight into what goes on in some young people’s lives . Although some might not deserved the human trafficking sentence, I believe it can still benefit children that are being forced to do county lines . Children are reported missing all the time and found in drug houses up country. Against their will. So although some agree to go , there are a lot that don’t have a choice .
Speaking from my own personal experiences not many people or kids are forced to sell drugs from the jump. If you think about it from a business point of view it, on a few different levels, it doesn’t make sense having unwilling staff. But saying that I’ve seen many people saying a lot of people or kids are forced so maybe it’s changed now 🤷🏾♂️
In this case it sounds like the child was willing, in other cases they have no choice e.g. vulnerable children are targeted in chicken shops , someone will befriend them, buy them food etc and then they will owe a debt that they have to pay off . This would not be explained from the start . Shops have been identified and closed down due to this . Just think how many kids go to the chicken shop after school. Just need to teach them not to accept anything of anyone 😩 . Unfortunately there’s to many vulnerable children that don’t get the support they need.
This guy is a terrible person. And he’s told multiply lies. When he’s claiming he was homeless, he lived rent free for months near my sister block on Sunderland mount until he got arrested.

He stripped and mentally disabled young man naked (who was working for him sell drugs) and put a gun in his mouth because he lost Glodi’s drugs. Can we not glorify these stains of the earth people.
Heartbroken 💔 made me think of my son who’s 13. He was only a baby still as much as they think they are growing up. He only did what he was taught by others who USED him he was their investment. Glad he’s out and on track with his life doing fitness. What about the relationship with his parents now??
Thanks for sharing your story, very interesting and gives highlight on how we should protect our children more. Keep on progressing your life your doing well.
Great interview, thank you for sharing your story Glodi, I am glad you survived. There is always room for change and the Lord loves us unconditionally even if our parents don’t. I hope that you can find a way to block out the negative and move forward in a positive more productive manner and live the rest of your life as a law abiding citizen. Such as sad story detailing how your parents and the government failed you as a young boy. 🙏🏽
As a mother of a 15 year old I can’t even begin to imagine throwing my son out in the streets because he was smoking weed. His mom literally gave him to the streets. Is really sad.
😭 am so heart broken 😭😭😭😭
Sometimes you do that thinking he will learn but unfortunately that's not what happened
So he’s supposed to disrupt the entire household, break all the rules, not show respect and influence his younger siblings?
@@TempermentalTart You only live once and it's a very very short life any mother who throws their kids kn the street for any reason are disgusting animals! I wouldn't throw my kids out no matter what they did drugs it murder or anything I still wouldn't!
@@natashabegley1346 so you would harbor a murderer without concern for the rest of your family. Help the world and don’t become a parent. Your moral compass is defective.
This interview is powerful. Up there with my most favourite interviews. He told his life story so eloquently and kept it real. No ‘bragging’ or ‘feel sorry for me’ mentality. Just the facts 💯. There needs to be more support out there for our young people. For him to come out of prison and turn his life around, he is such a role model. This video should be shown in schools!! I wish Glodi a happy and successful, peaceful life. I hope his parents can now be proud of him xx
A great story teller. Articulated so well clearly showing acknowledgment and understanding of his past situation. This young boy, with the proper guidance, could have been anything he wanted. Special guy, hope he succeeds in life going forward.
Saying a black person is eloquent is racist as fuck . You going to talk about his fast twitch muscles and extra bone next ?
@igorputin2499Wait what 😂 you killed people? Shouldn't you be in prison?
@igor putin that’s crazy
As a dad who’s chosen to do some bad things in his life, this is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever heard and made me reflect on my mistakes. This guy was forced into a life that I chose because I idolised it. I will do whatever I can to ensure my Son never goes down the path I took. So glad it’s behind me.
good on you for becoming a stronger , better version of yourself sir. my respects to you!
Sorry big man
Fair play. Takes a real man to own up to his mistakes and criticise himself.
We make mistakes so our kids don’t have to.
All these moments he talked about being a child not understanding what he was really doing and bigger older people just taking advantage of his youth and lack of knowledge . That's just heartbreaking. This is exactly how children get exploited across the world.
He was a victim of Child Criminal Exploitation.
Yes his parents were decent people, he's not as innocent as hes making himself to be.
@@jaynepaige5702what do you even mean? He didn't make himself out "to be innocent" at all. He explained in about 30 different ways how not innocent he was.

“Put me in jail for selling drugs, but don’t start labelling me a human trafficker because there’s real human traffickers out there that are really trafficking humans”
Such a chilling interview, first in a while I sat down to watch and couldn’t stop.
I remember seeing Glodi at school and had no idea he was going through what he was going through.
Despite the setbacks, his mindset is top notch and he articulates himself and speaks so well in this interview and I no doubt he’ll completely turn his life around for the better 💯
Very nice of you to write that 👍 👏 we never know what people going through
It is tho

Minimizes what county lines is though innit? It is trafficking and it is grooming. It's not as bad as the Morecambe Bay cocklers but that don't make it alright.
Kicked out and homeless at 14. His parents failed him.
I agree with you. If the parents had not chased him out, I believe his life wouldn't have turned out the way it was.
Most definitely 💯
I blame the Main Dealer for claiming He still owed money.

@@statementleaver8095 of course they were wrong but at they end of the day criminals will always be criminals, you can’t expect them to have a moral code. His parents on the other hand put him as a young teenager into a position to be exploited by kicking him out! Like wtf

This was painful to watch knowing how he was failed by his family and the system. I hope he can turn his life around. Thank you for sharing your story with us
@PinotGrigio The majority of people that are failed by the system statically become criminals or addicts. What are you on about? The minority that don't are not the rule-they're lucky
@PinotGrigio hopefully he gets put back in jail
A silly comment. He failed himself, yes his parents failed him, but he did it to himself too. You can choose to get out and work hard like a man, or choose the easy path into that “bad man” life style

I watch loads of content like this and this guy comes across as the realist, not bigging things up but saying it for what it is. Good luck to him.
And he was young at the time going through this
A realist? Lmao. Oh dear. OJ Simpson must of been your childhood posters then
Absolutely. His narrative had me in tears. It’s tragic how everyone failed him.
Yhh, I think he didn't have that "top boy" "road man" ego or mentality, even from a young age, despite hanging around on the streets from his teen years and the lifestyle he was exposed to.
He was just into surviving, making money and stuck to his job.
I love these type of interviews, it is easy to label people on the horrible things they did, but to listen to story of how they got there puts it in perspective.
Glodi is no joke, what he's been through to were he is now, can only be a brilliant thing. People like this shows the realness in the way life is. Hat off to him. Respect
This was a tough one! I’m just floored by how they treated and mishandled a young kid, and didn’t give any kind of support… unacceptable! I’m just glad you are alive, healthy and keeping yourself active with your fitness! You an inspiration bro!
I like him a lot. His parents left a little boy to fend for himself.
He had to survive..
It looks like he's changed for the better and still has plenty of respect for his parents.
Good luck for your future Glo,
I think life has good things in store for you
Me too
As a trainee criminal barrister, there were so many failings that happened with this young man. Truly saddened by this story. I represent people like this regularly, but you never have enough time to understand their back story and to most, they're just another gang member/drug dealer. It's truly sad. It started in the home..he didn't have a safe space when he reached out. I feel so sad for what he went through.
Congratulations. Trainee Barrister x
Oh please do tell us more of these tough cases you’ve been involved in as a trainee.

As an African parent! His parents failed this young man. It’s sad he grew up in jail & streets raised him.
Exactly!
As any parent doesn't matter where he is from he was thrown to wolves before he even knew about the real world
Seems to me that the parents did what they could but he was too disrespectful..
@@jaynepaige5702throwing out a 13 year old for smoking some weed is literally insane. What do you expect that child to do? There is no legal way for them to make money and support themselves. They can't just go get a job. There is only so many times their friends parents will let them sleepover.. so then what? If you dont have anyone else that will take you in.. an urban setting like that, you have few options. You can steal food to survive.. but then where do you sleep? You need money. So you can steal and sell things. You can sell yourself. Or you can sell drugs. The options are pretty limited. He also was from a foreign country, and probably didn't know about things like child welfare offices or social services. His parents throwing him out really just set him up to go down an even worse path. If they would have sat down with him, had an honest conversation about drugs and the consequences, what could happen, and disciplined him in a responsible way, his whole life could have been different. I don't blame any child for what they had to do to survive on the grimy ass streets of London, alone at 13 years old.
@@jaynepaige5702 did you not watch the video or something? He smoked weed in the house and had bad grades in school, how is this in any way "too disrespectful"? It's not a valid reason to kick your own 13 year old out of the house.
This is the saddest and most upsetting human story I’ve heard in a long time. I really really wish him well. I also wish his parents well because it seems like they are victims of the system as immigrant parents as well. God has more for you. DO NOT GIVE UP!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
his parents failed him. they kicked him out instead of trying to nurture him onto the right path
He’s parents failed him due to lack of knowledge not acknowledging they were in a totally different environment in England and not acknowledging the challenges they wouldn’t face in the Congo with him growing up is totally different here culturally getting caught smoking weed by African parents is a huge thing as an adult let alone a child in the home. They were absolutely wrong for kicking him out they clearly thought he will just come home and be remorseful hence they kept going to the police when they realised that wasn’t the case and the police didn’t do their job regarding him being a 13year old child who tells a child if you tell us you are ok we will leave you alone that sounds crazy but the system is built against him even without the predicament he found himself. He is a massive testimony of going through and not giving up
I was a middle class white teenage girl also thrown out of the house after an argument and ended up staying with an older boyfriend in a flat selling drugs that got raided and robbed resulting in us being in debt to v dangerous people and a terrible sequence of events. It’s scary how fast young people can be Exploited and criminalised for it.
It's the choices we make in life, that shapes our existence!
Lol
@@originalunoriginal4055 sometimes we make the only right choices available to us . Glodi had no option but to sell on the streets-the streets were his shelter, what better choices could he have made ?
People who grow up in different environments often don't understand how difficult it is to grow up in an area where drugs and crime are at the forefront of everything. You can't even go to school without the mention of drugs. Teenagers especially are deeply influenced by the older people around them. They don't realise the seriousness of the situations they are involved in and often only find out when it's too late.
did you get arrested/go to prison?
What a story... I can really see this guy working with kids, perhaps youth officer ?? Or probation officer or something along those lines. Not impossible with time, mentoring and some education. He just needs someone to invest in him so he can spin that shiz into gold. Wishing you nothing but good things moving forward. I can see a bright, honest, reflective young man with a lot to offer and a unique perspective inside the underbelly of our society. That's someing that can help kids make better choices. I'm really rooting for him to go on and do good things. Thank you for sharing. You deserved a better deal than you got. But I have a saying " where roads end, God starts". Meaning good things come from suffering if you let it.
This guy is a terrible person. And he’s told multiply lies. When he’s claiming he was homeless, he lived rent free for months near my sister block on Sunderland mount until he got arrested. He’s never been homelesss he ran away and his “dad” was looking for him. Another thing my kids witness. Why are people glorifying this lying drug dealer.
And isn’t it propaganda if you don’t find out all the information and just put out anything on social media for people to lap up.
Did anyone actually read the court documents in this vile specimen. He stripped and mentally disabled young man naked (who was working for him sell drugs) and put a gun in his mouth because he lost Glodi’s drugs. Can we not glorify these stains of the earth people.
Well said
I agree with you
Damn your comment hit home
Social services rather keep kids away from parents so they can get money from government, they try minimal, most of the boys end up in jail..from my experience
For someone who didn't go to school this man is so articulate. And although he takes responsibility for everything he has done really didn't have a chance In life. I believe if he was given a chance at the beginning this man would have gone on to do good things
@@originalunoriginal4055sometimes you have to think to yourself before speaking or commenting, and ask "does what I'm about to say/write actually contribute to the conversation in a meaningful, helpful or insightful way? Or do I just sound like a pretentious dickwad who is inserting their own ignorant and unwanted opinion because it makes me feel smart or included or whatever?"
This time, in your case, you just sounded like an ignorant asshole. In case you were wondering. Maybe next time you'll do better.
@@originalunoriginal4055 "Articulate" doesn't mean having a wide vocabulary and using obscure words, it just refers to one's ability to convey sentences; which Glodi is pretty good at *especially* given he's had little schooling, and is telling personal stories that would have most people choking
No guys i dont agree. If he was articulated he would articulate instead of saying "do you know what I mean?"
I respect this lad for speaking so confident about his story. His parents should be ashamed of themselves. I wish this lad all the best

Thanks for sharing your story Glodi. I can’t imagine what a wild world your 5 year old self arrived to and how difficult that must have been at such a young age. Looking forward to seeing your future unfold into something positive 🙏🏼
🙏🏿🙏🏿
This is heartbreaking! Failed by everyone really, immigrant parents' mentality can be detrimental (high expectations and minimal support). As a witness of growing up with boys like this, his peers would have made it seem cool too. The police's conduct is disgusting, it was outright negligence (when he was reported missing) and abuse when he they stopped him on road and when he got arrested by not doing due diligence. By law he was a CHILD! I feel so angry on his behalf. May God grant you, Glo, the strength, peace and joy to continue on the straight and narrow. Doing right ain't easy, but it's light on your soul.
God will continue to help this man. He could have died! Also I like your photo. I want one
So you're blaming the police instead of the parents? Parents think they can have kids and just ditch em when they not happy, we never asked to be born, so when we are here we are the responsibility of our parents, if you can't afford(money time love and effort) kids please don't have them, it does not work out great..😔

Woah, big respect for this young man. Speaks incredibly well and tells his story so concisely. Wishing him all the very best.

Top Guy. Relaxed & Calm throughout the whole interview. I watched and enjoyed every minute of it. 👏
This story is so sad. The system failed him and his PARENTS FAILED HIM!!!. I honestly pray he heals from this because it’s a lot.
After listening to Glodis story from the beginning it is very easy to understand how his life went in the direction that it did . As one myself who also detested Comprehensive school one can completely understand how Glodi turned to violence when he had had enough of strangers making fun of him for no apparent reason . Animals are more civilised than these bullies who deserve a good smack in the chops for deliberately making people feel low and worthless . Glodi comes across as a very intelligent and knowledgeable young man who will find his own way in life and will be a success in what ever he decides to do . Good Luck Glodi👍.
Perfect example of not taking responsibility for your own actions and blaming other people for the direction he took in life. That’s the trend this day and age. It’s never your fault but someone else’s.
I wish him nothing but the best, hopefully he can come back on this platform and give us an update in the future. I know he’s destined for great things. May God be with him ❤️
This is sad, basically groomed into selling drugs. Systemically failed, scapegoated with overzealous charges. He was really primed and groomed for this life, hope he stays out and starts his life again with the right support
Rough story right from the get go..hope he goes on too better things now he's only 29,wish him good luck he's a good talker for somebody who been through all that 👍

People are saying “the system failed him” but the truth is this is the story of many little black boys who the world failed and then incriminated them for it. I am excited to see where he is headed.

Never to late to change. Proud of this man

He has a lot to do before he can be trusted and assimilated into society until then he must face the consequences of his actions, no one but he choice to act in an unlawful manner even after he started college the money sounded too good to put his head down and educate himself so he could have a better outcome, you know how many of his country men would love to have the opportunity he had, to come to the UK so they could study & make something of themselves.

Very good documentary and a good insight to the true perspective of selling drugs. You see drug dealers with nice things but you don’t ever stop to realise they risked their life’s for this stuff!

I think in theory only some drug dealers would do well making a living legally and the others just won't make it. I've seen comments like this on a few occasions and apart from Glodi's account, we hear about drug dealers making it rain with all their financial gains and then changing their lives. If all we ever heard were stories such as Glodi's would you and others think they'd have good business acumen, if they went legit? Just a thought.
@@PuffPuff279 That's a reasonable point.. It does depends on the person for sure, but I just feel Goldi could go far.

It would be foolish to say all drug dealers could make it because that's not really realistic but some possibly.
I bet his boss set him up both times.. I've seen it happen many times and its fucked up :/
This was deep , favourite episode so far !
No matter who we are what colour our skin is we are human, we all make mistakes. Yet us humans fight and we make best of a situation become survivers. No matter how bad we've done we can become a better people, learn from our mistakes. This guy is going to be okay because the path he's been on has learnt him more than any school or book could ever do.
Truely sad. How can you send a child out of the house at 14. To do what? How is he meant to survive at such an impressionable age. Sometimes immigrant families are just interested in surviving that they miss a lot of things. Bullying is traumatizing and has dangerous effects on the minds of kids.
He is a soldier... Naive but tough. I wish him well in his future 👊🏽
These immigrant parents don’t know a damn thing and think they know everything. Formal school education will not make your child the best form of themselves alone
His parents are so cold hearted to do that- I can’t believe anyone would do such a thing to their child 😩😩😥
@@livelifenasty Not only was your comment very stupid, but it was also very ignorant. Keep those kinds of thoughts to yourself. You don’t know about immigrates and that is evident from your comment.
Glodi took wrong opportunities at the right time, what I mean by this is he got caught off guard at his lowest point and saw that as his ticket out, also I can tell the way he explains things it’s like he had no other option because that was the ONLY option that accepted him this refers back to when he was getting bullied, no one liked him until he started fighting back so his conception was to go down that route to be likeable by the people who are ALREADY on bad paths. If he was educated by someone who acc cared for him he wouldn’t be who he is, at the end of the day he was a runner and the older only wanted to make ps and only really helped him when the situations was over just to keep a peace of mind because he knew you was already lost.
He speaks with so much sadness 🥺🥺
I just want to give him a big hug..a young male at 14 kicked out the house with no role model it's no wonder he was taken advantage of (selling drugs) ..he's been through it.. getting stabbed not feeling to he can say anything to his parents..then the system let him down BIG TIME..His story should be spoken about in schools, young boys would learn alot from the real stuff that can happen when your parents haven't got your back. Or are to blind to see another way to help there son. LONDON IS A HARD PLACE TO BE ON THE STREETS..GOD BLESS YOU
That was incredibly moving. Excellent account and story telling. Amazon came to drop off a parcel and I was cussing because I didn't want to miss not one word.
I'm glad I watched this. I expected this to be another damning video that paints the black person as a 'pure evil thug'. Well done for taking this video in another direction, and well done to the interviewee. He is a brave guy for doing this! 👏
More black criminals need to be open about how they get caught up in crime, and they need to be honest about the negative sides of being a criminal. Openness from men needs to be respected in the black community so they can feel comfortable enough to be open. They need to be given the opportunity and the right platforms - with the least amount of bias - to express themselves.
People need to appreciate that black criminals deal with mental, emotional and physical damage - just like any other non-black criminal - which facilitates turning to crime to make good money. *We need more videos like this in the media and fewer videos glorifying black-on-black violence.* Ignorant people will watch music videos encouraging the latter, and they'll view biased news stories and then conclude that 'all black people are inherently thuggish and emotionless'.
_Glorify_ the humanization of _all_ people, and _glorify_ being open about struggles. Black people have feelings, _just like_ any other race. They get bullied _just like_ every other race. *But, they are probably told to hide their pain **_more than_** any other race.*
Black people get called 'white' when they are educated, classy or well-spoken. Black men get called 'gay' if they are gentle and show emotions; they are likened to a female's genitalia if they don't react to disrespect in a way black people are shown to stereotypically react to it on so many media platforms. *Work needs to be done to help make the word 'black' synonymous with: patient, hard-working, trustworthy, protective, loyal, sympathetic, empathetic, and smart.*
More of the British government's funding needs to go towards mental health support, counselling, parental training, housing support, teaching assistance, learning difficulty/disability testing, teaching facilities, school expansions, and schooling for those with special education needs. These types of support are severely lacking in poorer borough sub-districts.
All humans deserve to be humanised! 🤖❌️
Great comment
Glodi thank you for sharing your story. I’m proud that you are turning your life around! I pray that God protects guides and prosper you. AMEN❤️
This young has gone through a lot and has been used and let down by so many people, I have a feeling he will prosper and have a bright future ahead 🙏🏽
Growing up in most Congolese households is not easy trust me.. respect bro!
It really isn't!!!
Trussst!
Real talk! young don’t realise , telling of your experience can guide youth away from this!
He told them he doesn’t want to go to school, they did nothing. Not even query or understand how he is transitioning in a new environment…he was bullied and nothing was done. He was never protected as a child 😭
It’s sick. How traumatic that was for him, feeling vulnerable and defenseless…. Never protected as a child then thrown out of the house as a child. I bet his parents say they are Christian and attend church every Sunday. A bunch of hypocrites.
His parents were very evil.
When a 14-year-old feels that selling drugs is necessary to survive, the entire system has failed.
Thanks for sharing Glodi. May God restore the years stolen and lead you to fulfil the purpose to which you were called. God has a plan!!
Amen ! 🙏🏾
Thankyou for sharing your story with us Glodi. It's just so sad to think that most of your life has been spent in jail. By the sounds of things and I can only go by the information you've shared with us, there's alot of factors that I don't believe the police ever took into consideration. It's crazy to think that in so many cases police are just trying to get good media coverage, make arrest, get promotions etc instead of actually doing their jobs the legit and moral way. I really do hope that you're able to heal from all that you've been through, change your life for the better but this time with the support that you desearve and could have potentially saved you from going back to what you were doing when you were younger. You desearve to live the rest of your life as a free man, who is genuinely happy, supported, loved and I hope you find good people who want the best for you, genuinely care about your mental health and well-being. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
There’s no police and legal system jobs if there’s no crime. So it’s just meeting quotas and posturing and abusing powers. Sad system.
This is soo sad. I am so sorry about your story. Unfortunately, you mother especially failed you totally. Mother’s usually is the last to disown their children, but for her to throw you out at 14 years of age is unforgivable. May the Lord turn things around for better for you. ❤️❤️❤️
Exactly. Mother’s are the main ones who support their child/ren when everyone else gives up. I too wish him every success in the future.
This guy has more character, intelligence and maturity than most. Full respect to him for owning his shit, not playing the victim, and getting on with his life. I was se6 many years ago. Well done brother. 💯👍🏻
The failure of the many systems, he passed through that could of made a difference to this young man is really saddening. It would of taken just one person to care and do something, his dad tried.
DUDE AS NO EGO . JUST TELLING IT HOW IT IS NO EMBELLISHMENT. THE WAY HE DESCRIBES THE SITUATIONS HE WAS IN, MAKES YOU FEEL AS IF YOU ARE THERE.
Glodi is so real you can see the pain in his face it’s so heartbreaking, I really loved this interview its so powerful so educating as well wish him all the luck in the world 😊
My Beloved Brother! You can easily become a Lawer, Community Support Councillor and Mental Health Supporter 💯. You are Beautiful! Your Heart is Pure. Don't let anyone put You down. Your Journey is an example for Us to learn from and it's been a Long Time Coming 👑 I can't wait for the Movie 😘 Keep Shinning Your Light! My door is Always Open 💚💛❤

What a story brudda you need to tell your story to the youth man . Need to do schools and Pru . Good luck with your future
you can tell his soul is calm and sweet. wishing nothing but blessings.
Thanks for sharing your story and giving people insight into what goes on in some young people’s lives . Although some might not deserved the human trafficking sentence, I believe it can still benefit children that are being forced to do county lines . Children are reported missing all the time and found in drug houses up country. Against their will. So although some agree to go , there are a lot that don’t have a choice .
Speaking from my own personal experiences not many people or kids are forced to sell drugs from the jump. If you think about it from a business point of view it, on a few different levels, it doesn’t make sense having unwilling staff. But saying that I’ve seen many people saying a lot of people or kids are forced so maybe it’s changed now 🤷🏾♂️
He didn’t deserve that human trafficking charge, the other guy just worked for their gang, willingly most-likely
In this case it sounds like the child was willing, in other cases they have no choice e.g. vulnerable children are targeted in chicken shops , someone will befriend them, buy them food etc and then they will owe a debt that they have to pay off . This would not be explained from the start . Shops have been identified and closed down due to this . Just think how many kids go to the chicken shop after school. Just need to teach them not to accept anything of anyone 😩 . Unfortunately there’s to many vulnerable children that don’t get the support they need.
This guy is a terrible person. And he’s told multiply lies. When he’s claiming he was homeless, he lived rent free for months near my sister block on Sunderland mount until he got arrested. He’s never been homelesss he ran away and his “dad” was looking for him. Another thing my kids witness. Why are people glorifying this lying drug dealer.
And isn’t it propaganda if you don’t find out all the information and just put out anything on social media for people to lap up.
Did anyone actually read the court documents in this vile specimen. He stripped and mentally disabled young man naked (who was working for him sell drugs) and put a gun in his mouth because he lost Glodi’s drugs. Can we not glorify these stains of the earth people.
@@Linkn12 the kids are groomed
He speaks very well. Very open and honest
Heartbroken 💔 made me think of my son who’s 13. He was only a baby still as much as they think they are growing up. He only did what he was taught by others who USED him he was their investment.
Glad he’s out and on track with his life doing fitness. What about the relationship with his parents now??
Thanks for sharing your story, very interesting and gives highlight on how we should protect our children more. Keep on progressing your life your doing well.
Great interview, thank you for sharing your story Glodi, I am glad you survived. There is always room for change and the Lord loves us unconditionally even if our parents don’t. I hope that you can find a way to block out the negative and move forward in a positive more productive manner and live the rest of your life as a law abiding citizen. Such as sad story detailing how your parents and the government failed you as a young boy. 🙏🏽
His honesty and depth of emotional expreion is outstanding. You come a long way big man. Hold ya head high.
So sad , bless you and thanks for your honesty ❤
