A woman was arrested last week because her young son had walked to the store by himself,yet nothing happened to the parents of these boys? Make it make sense.
It's impossible for you to comprehend, you very severely lack the intelligence to. The woman was arrested cause she didn't care for the kid, didn't feed him, didn't know or care where he was. As for these people they know where the kids are, they're just too simple minded to go ask friends or family but stay on the porch.
@@GingerWolf87 1 she did feed her kid, they was just into it so the kid wanted to walk to the store... dont matter if she didnt know where he went hes old enough to walk a mile at 10...these black parents need to be jailed for leavong they kids in freezing weather its jus crazy to me how a yt women is arrested becuz her son walked to the store but these parents arent arrested for almost killing they kids leaving them out in cold freezing weather
Well the obvious answer is that the woman whose child walked to the store was white and white is BAD. That 8s the new psychological operation. Nobody should sleep outside in freezing temperatures .
The fact that it's not considered abuse or negligence is wild to me. The police can show up, and you legally can have your kids sleeping outside, and it's freezing.
Something is very wrong on many levels, by the family, & by the law. When I was about 12 or 13, my friend & I would sleep out in her backyard in the late spring early summer, once & awhile. Hot July & August would be bad enough for these kids, with freezing temps, this is ludicrous & should be illegal. It’s a form of abuse, no matter what the law there says. Some parents are just cruel & damn sick, I don’t care what these kids did wrong. Hmmm maybe have the parents sleep outside for months, & let the kids sleep inside, fair is fair.
Thank you to this gentleman and to the caring neighbors for getting involved to protect these children. These parents are horribly out of line and should be dealt with. These children have been outside for 6 months. This is abuse. Especially in this weather. These caring neighbors are HEROES!
@@paanne1013 As stated in the video, the boys would not accept help. You have to be very sure of the circumstances before you intervene. I am not saying it is right, but at least when the situation was evident, someone stepped in.
Police can find reasons to arrest people for breathing the wrong way but all of a sudden can’t find any criminality in two juveniles being forced to sleep outside in freezing weather? Useless parents. Useless police. Useless Child “Protective” (yea, right) Services. I hope they young men get the long term help they deserve
The house is huge, you know it probably has a basement. There has to be plenty of room inside somewhere. I simply do not understand why some kind, loving people can not have children, yet monsters can. 😢
Maybe we should feel bad for society for letting this thing go on since July! And the cops said they couldn't do anything about it at first-was an investigation ever done to see why they were even sleeping outside on their porch in the first place? I think the news media knows more about this matter(certainly the neighbors, relatives and "friends" of this family do) than they have told us, but why haven't told us more of the details remains a mystery to me! 12-4-24.
What a shame! My neighbor did the same thing to her 12 year old son. He was sleeping in the back porch and the hallways. I let him in one time as well as fed him. I knocked on her door and she acted like she didn’t hear me. So I called the police and then she opened the door and claimed he was a runaway. From then on I called every time I saw Him sleeping on the porch. I don’t see the boy anymore and I pray that he is in a stable home because the mother didn’t deserve him!
I think the issue here is that no one's brought this case TO the DA's Office BEFORE the media got involved. Ppl assumed the folks at that office are aware, but 10:1, they weren't.

Sad that is the best that can be done. So much for "see something, say something". Nothing can be done, because nothing is being illegal. Our country needs to straighten up, and fast.
No it's sad that the neighborhood took 5 months to do something!! Those boys were out there since JULY!! Make it make sense! I would have been contacted authorities
The two Michigan teens found sleeping on the porch in Detroit have sparked significant concern among local residents. The boys have been reportedly sleeping outside since the summer, with temperatures now dropping to freezing levels. Despite multiple calls to authorities, including Child Protective Services (CPS) and the police, the situation persists. The parents, when questioned, claimed the house was accessible to the boys and there was no barrier to them seeking shelter indoors. This has led to concerns about potential neglect, especially given the extreme conditions they are enduring. Community members, including neighbors and local volunteers, have expressed concern about their safety, and CPS is investigating the matter.
Those boys were treated like animals. Hope they get to stay with relatives that will treat them better. I saw a middle school age boy in my neighborhood always sitting on his house front steps. Asked my son did he know him and he told me yes, his parents always make him do that if he gets in trouble and that he sleeps on the floor as well. I reported it immediately, found out he was adopted and they treated him differently from their biological children. As adults we are all responsible for the safety of a child. Always say something.
@@delewon Yes people do 😂 it's more of a recent thing for animals to be treated well but still most households don't let animals on furniture and to have outside only animals is common also.
Thank you to all the neighbors and friends showing love and concern for these children . Shame on mom and dad for their mean spirited heartless treatment toward their children .
What is it with you people? The neighbors and friends didn't show love or concern they tried to give them random shit. Love and concern would have been calling CPS or the cops over and over and over again every time they saw those kids sleeping outside. We've got to stop normalizing turning a blind eye to abuse.
@@MamaMOB The neighbors and friends are the ones who called - over and over. It wasn't until the news got involved that they did anything. Don't go scolding people who actually did what they could do.
Toothbrush was on the porch? So do the parents lock the house at night? How are the kids able to use the bathroom? That alone is grounds for negligence, disgusting behavior of the parents.
I suspect they were trying to get these boys to guve up and accept that they’re not part of the home or the family, and to just leave - “run away” - since they are already sleeping rough anyway.
Sounds like they provided the kids with necessities. No law against brushing teeth on a porch. And the shrubs look healthy. Fresh manure is good for a lot of plants
That's what I was thinking! How can the police say there is nothing wrong with the kids sleeping outside if there are no facilities for using the bathroom or getting water? They are children!! That alone feels like grounds for abuse charges.
The two teen boys do not NEED to return to that home period...Their parents are worthless and abusive...JUST EVIL. How could they do that...Thank God for the community and news reporters helping save them be safe, fed, and warm.
are you being sarcastic? I hope so, b/c taking 6 months to do anything and letting these kids stay on that porch for 3-4 months in the cold is not caring. smdh
I must have missed the neighbors' caring. It was a local podcast host that brought the news there. The neighbors just happened to be offering them food and money for a hotel, but they wouldn't accept it.. For some reason, I don't believe that part. If the neighbors cared, they would have made sure them Kids weren't sleeping on the porch in the winter.
Yea took them long enough smh glad everything ok now god bless them I cried felt angry immediately I have 4 boys it breaks my heart let’s stand up for the youth more
Absolutely heartbreaking to hear young preteens subjected to abuse by their religious parents. Seriously, I’d take those sweet boys into my home immediately. Then, let the social workers figure it out. This is beyond cruel to young boys.
This is why I was taken. They seen me leaving in the snow to go sleep at the playground and some neighbor called CPS. I was like 12. We tried to work it out and I always was allowed to speak to my mom but end of day the state raised me until I turned 21. It's crazy to see that it's not uncommon
I'm so sorry this happened to you. There is nothing your 12-year-old self could've said or done to make you deserve that. I hope you know this. If it takes the rest of your life, please internalize what I'm saying to you right now. People who suffer abuse often struggle with the fact that they didn't somehow "earn" that kind of treatment. You didn't!!!I'm sending you so much positive healing energy right now. 🫂
I wanted to be taken. My dad beat the stuffing out of me on the regular for mom’s enjoyment. School counselor saw a big handprint on my face where mom slapped me on the way to school. Insisted I talk to her. Took her hours before I opened up, only after she promised me I would never go back there again. 2 hours later, I was sitting across the desk from her as mom handed her a check for $3,000. I was told by the counselor if I ever set foot in her office again she would have me expelled and arrested. Both my parents beat me bloody that night. I never tried to outcry again. I’m in my 50’s now and only recently have I stopped being afraid of my mom (she’s almost 90).
They have to wait and see if the parents have broken any laws?????!!!!! Are you kidding me? What they did was so wrong that there’s no words, but watch the parents walk away Scott free‼️ Gotta love CPS. They’re NEVER there for the ones that really NEED them‼️
God and prayers is what got them into this. They need to abandon the cult and find basic humanity without a religious fanaticism hanging over their lives.
@@susannovak8263You pray that, in spite of their parent's free will, that they will find people and support system, resources, etc to bring healing in the wake of this evil - that they can experience the healing presence of Jesus Christ in their hearts, His love that will fill them up and cause rejection and abuse to be a distant unfortunate memory 😢
This should have never been a news story. The community should have dealt with this when it started. What person is attending a church with these people?
Love to people who watched 12 and 14-year-old boy sleep on a porch for 5 months and did nothing about it! So much love because they were trying to protect the criminal parents! Got to love them!
@rachelw6237 put your kids out there in the hot weather and in the cold. A lot of you people need to be silent this story is not about adults sleeping outside. Comprehension of a story is needed before commenting .
Mine is 20 and he just interrupted reading this comment to ask me to log him into the computer and get him something to eat :). Those 'parents' are despicable.
I love that ladyi ," don't want to wait for someone to freeze to death before we do something." Such common sense. So happy they did something before it was a sadder news report.they prevented a tragedy from occuring.
The reality is there's nowhere to put them. I was floored when I found out the number of my students who were in foster homes. People are out here just having kids and letting them figure it out. Sick world.
The kids are clearly homeless, 12 and 14 sleeping on the porch for 5 months being treated like their animals. They have their toothbrushes outside and the clothes on their back no water, no food, no facilities, their blankets never washed while the parents are safe inside and cozy???? Of course there is negligence…….. helllooooo…….this is SICK, what the hell is wrong with those parents man. WHY in Gods name do ppl have kids if they clearly don’t want them????? Heartbreaking
My mom use to physically and verbally abuse me and manipulate me into thinking I was wrong I knew I was the black sheep and outcast of the family some of these moms really ain’t shit in this case the mom and dad not
I remember doing something like this as a kid, sleeping outside because as soon as I get home my mom would beat me so bad and so much that I would just go numb. Those kids deserve better no matter what they did, that's not a punishment, that's cruelty.
So very sorry you went through such a thing in your childhood. I pray God has helped the healing so that you can stand and go forward with your life.🙏🏽🙏🏽🛐🛐🕊️🕊️🕊️❤❤️🎉
When you are a pastor or a priest or a nun, You're supposed to have compassion for everyone and anyone all human life..... Where is this man's compassion for his own kids......
These parents let a 12 and 15-year-old sleep outside by themselves in inclement weather; meanwhile, another parent in another part of the country is facing criminal charges because she let her son walk to town by himself. Someone please explain this Insanity to me. 🤯
@@iamlegend8120 Older than the state minimum required to leave a child unattended. Which in GA is 8 I believe and this kid had just turned 10 or was a couple days away from his 10th birthday. Cops are jerks.
Cops say there's nothing g wrong with the boys sleeping outside? What is wrong with these LAWS. That Pastor and his wife should be arrested in an outdoor cell
A car would actually cause more problems cause of the condensation they are safer like that but it's absolutely neglectful and the parents do need investigating
@@dejamesola yes it does, the car in minus temperatures would cause condensation it's safer to come outside than in an area their lungs over time would not do well in an environment like that. You're not a survivor are you lol
It is wonderful that so many neighbors are concerned. They are making an effort to bring attention to a problem and protect two children they don't even know.
What a crazy story. I hope the kids make it. I’m really glad the neighbors are on the job. That’s what community is all about. Helping and watching out for each other. Kudos to all who got involved. Your hero’s.
I think I’ve seen it all when it’s ok to let children sleep outside in freezing temperatures and the police say it’s nothing they can do! This is absurd! This is really hard to believe
This is sick and sad at the same time I wouldn't care what my kids do wrong they will not be sleeping outside on the porch those parents need to be put in prison 😠 it makes me soo pissed every time I think about it I pray 🙏🏽 that they get a forever home were they will never have to experience being put out
I was coming home from work one day and saw my son walking home from school in the rain. I burst into tears!!!! The guilt was crushing - I couldn't breathe. I can't imagine the heart of a mother who sleeps comfortably in a warm bed while her children sleep outside in 20 degree weather. I'd be coming out of my SKIN with guilt and worry!!!
@@abeswifee8442 Yeah I didn't get the bursting into tears part. I walked home in the rain, my kids did, it's not that bad. And I lived in Florida where you walked home in pouring down rain often. You just dry off, change your clothes, and get a snack. No way I'd leave my kiddo out in freezing weather but walking home in rain is nothing.
It depends what kind of rain. We're in central fl. There are a lot of days when it's sprinkling & that's fine. But sometimes it's torrential with lots of lightning & really not safe to be outside, and schools will either delay dismissals or let out early . We pick kiddo up from the bus stop when the weather is bad (with lightning). Not all kids have the luxury, but it's also not the end of the world 🤷♀️
Lay off on Pettynettie-obviously seeing their child walking home in the rain triggered a painful moment and they burst out crying--I completely understand that-just like I understand what walking home from school in the rain was like when it felt good-and times when it didn’t feel good-like when you’re underdressed and cold-so everyone chill out. This isn’t the point they were trying to make. The point is that anyone who loves their kids finds this apathetic behavior towards their children sleeping on a porch absolutely heartbreaking and disturbing. That’s the point. I think we can all agree that this is abuse.
I they should be jailed! You have people getting their children taken away for less. This is ridiculous! What did they do that they have to live outside for months as punishment? And idc if "they want to" theyvare kids and dont know any better but i strong dont believe they want to freeze.
It’s a shame when you need help from the police now there is nothing they can do? Where are the shelters. I don’t care what those boys did, sleeping in the cold is not a punishment it’s cruel and the parents need to sleep on the porch for six months. A pastor and his wife, my GOD have mercy on your souls.
That's a damn shame that parents would treat their children that way I salute the neighbors for standing up trying to help and calling the police that's how we need to take care of our neighborhoods we have to care about each other we don't have to be in each other's business but it doesn't her to speak up when you see something wrong especially with children
Agree 💯 this situation Screams See something Say something. Thank you to All trying to help these children. Some people don't need to be parents. Show their faces.
CPS does nothing until the media gets involved. The way children are treated in this society is deplorable. You don't have any rights until you are 18.
It looks like they will get in trouble if they except any food or help. They have to be removed from the home in order for them to be safe. If the parents discipline them like this in front of everyone, then just imagine what they do when no one is looking!!!
This is abuse in every sense of the word. How is this even needing ‘investigating to see if laws were broken’? Those parents should have been locked up the instant this came to light. Ridiculous.
Forcing your children to sleep on the porch in 15 degrees is questionable negligence?!? Idgaf if they ‘missed curfew’ or something- 15 degrees?! Oh no there’s no excuse
This makes me sick. That's not parenting, that's abuse!! And his calling himself a pastor is a shame, that is the work of satan for someone to do that. SHAME. Those poor kids
Horrible damn parents need to be sentenced to 2 years of porch arrest ....A damn so called pastor and his wife what damn example can you possibly make by child abuse. If Kim Worthy, CPS and the police don't do something to these parents they should be charged too for derelict of duty. They need to pay for this if not in this life I can guarantee it the Lord has this recorded during judgement. Damn this really pisses me off🤬
I recently watched a video where another man was arrested for child abuse and child endangerment for making his teenage daughters sleep in the backyard because they had stolen his credit card and order stuff online. The girl went knocking on neighbors doors because they were cold and the police were called. So how is it that that man was charged and arrested but not this couple?
Thank god for the neighbors and good Samaritan’s! We need more people to get involved in things that are suspicious and signs of abuse! This is endangering the life of a child and abuse!

GOD BLESS THE GUY WHO MADE THIS GO VIRAL!! AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBORS AND NEIGHBORHOOD!
Amen
Sad that is the best that can be done. So much for "see something, say something". Nothing can be done, because nothing is being illegal. Our country needs to straighten up, and fast.
No it's sad that the neighborhood took 5 months to do something!! Those boys were out there since JULY!! Make it make sense! I would have been contacted authorities
The two Michigan teens found sleeping on the porch in Detroit have sparked significant concern among local residents. The boys have been reportedly sleeping outside since the summer, with temperatures now dropping to freezing levels. Despite multiple calls to authorities, including Child Protective Services (CPS) and the police, the situation persists. The parents, when questioned, claimed the house was accessible to the boys and there was no barrier to them seeking shelter indoors.
This has led to concerns about potential neglect, especially given the extreme conditions they are enduring. Community members, including neighbors and local volunteers, have expressed concern about their safety, and CPS is investigating the matter.
Those parents are sick 😢
Put them in jail
Also charge them with abuse n neglect!!
Are the parents ALIVE?!? I haven’t heard any neighbors say they’ve seen an adult!
The newscaster clearly stated “the children were sleeping outside on the porch while the parents slept inside.”
Put them on the porch...
Those boys were treated like animals. Hope they get to stay with relatives that will treat them better. I saw a middle school age boy in my neighborhood always sitting on his house front steps. Asked my son did he know him and he told me yes, his parents always make him do that if he gets in trouble and that he sleeps on the floor as well. I reported it immediately, found out he was adopted and they treated him differently from their biological children. As adults we are all responsible for the safety of a child. Always say something.
Animals I wouldn't have my dog on the porch when it's hot my dog has ac when it's cold my dog GOTS a heater like wtf those mofos belong in jail
Worse than animals...ppl don't treat they dogs like that. 😢
Do you know if he's okay now?
I hate peoples when I see these examples
@@delewon Yes people do 😂 it's more of a recent thing for animals to be treated well but still most households don't let animals on furniture and to have outside only animals is common also.
The parents have DEFINITELY crossed the line!!!!! That’s “ CHILD ABUSE!!!
Thank you to all the neighbors and friends showing love and concern for these children . Shame on mom and dad for their mean spirited heartless treatment toward their children .
What is it with you people? The neighbors and friends didn't show love or concern they tried to give them random shit. Love and concern would have been calling CPS or the cops over and over and over again every time they saw those kids sleeping outside. We've got to stop normalizing turning a blind eye to abuse.
@@MamaMOB I would call every day and those kids would be in my house, safe and warm.
@@MamaMOB The neighbors and friends are the ones who called - over and over. It wasn't until the news got involved that they did anything. Don't go scolding people who actually did what they could do.
Toothbrush was on the porch? So do the parents lock the house at night? How are the kids able to use the bathroom? That alone is grounds for negligence, disgusting behavior of the parents.
I suspect they were trying to get these boys to guve up and accept that they’re not part of the home or the family, and to just leave - “run away” - since they are already sleeping rough anyway.
Sounds like they provided the kids with necessities. No law against brushing teeth on a porch. And the shrubs look healthy. Fresh manure is good for a lot of plants
Bet they run to claim the kids at end of the year for taxes👎😢
That's what I was thinking! How can the police say there is nothing wrong with the kids sleeping outside if there are no facilities for using the bathroom or getting water? They are children!! That alone feels like grounds for abuse charges.
The two teen boys do not NEED to return to that home period...Their parents are worthless and abusive...JUST EVIL. How could they do that...Thank God for the community and news reporters helping save them be safe, fed, and warm.
Just unbelievable, these boys deserve a good caring home
Nothing illegal? No negligence! How clueless the police are. It's called abuse!?!?? WTF????
And yet, they will stop a person walking down a street!!??
Not them. The law. I bet the officers wanted very badly to do something, but their hands are tied till the law is changed.
It’s their culture. Restorative justice.
Neglect is abuse
If they were BOTH YT watch what would have happened
What a great community . Caring for your neighbors
Hats off to them all. 💜
So beautiful to see! & Then the police dept does absolutely nothing! Just ludicrous!
Cheers to the neighbors, friends and family!! Great community action. Bravo 👏 ❤
are you being sarcastic? I hope so, b/c taking 6 months to do anything and letting these kids stay on that porch for 3-4 months in the cold is not caring. smdh
I must have missed the neighbors' caring. It was a local podcast host that brought the news there. The neighbors just happened to be offering them food and money for a hotel, but they wouldn't accept it.. For some reason, I don't believe that part. If the neighbors cared, they would have made sure them Kids weren't sleeping on the porch in the winter.
Yea took them long enough smh glad everything ok now god bless them I cried felt angry immediately I have 4 boys it breaks my heart let’s stand up for the youth more
Thank you for caring, you lovely neighbors.❤
So sad that the neighbors are so upset & emotional, but the police think it's okay! That's insane. This is one of the cruelest forms of abuse smh
But of course they saw them sleeping outside since july. I guess nobody called until the temperature got too cold? So maybe not so lovely after all.
See, I think the neighbours could have did more. Why just leave them there to freeze. 🥶 😢
Absolutely heartbreaking to hear young preteens subjected to abuse by their religious parents.
Seriously, I’d take those sweet boys into my home immediately. Then, let the social workers figure it out. This is beyond cruel to young boys.
Street Justice take the parents and lock them out of the house and let the kids stay in the house all winter long
Exactly 💯
Sounds fair to me, seems like they can’t even brush their teeth inside.
Break the windows! Geez! Put the parents outside and the boys inside! This is extreme abuse!
👍
Then the cops would say it’s illegal.
Dude I've seen child services show up for made up things, and why doesn't child services get called for this?
That is a mystery!! Child abuse n child neglect!! If you look suspicious, the police will show up, why not now!!??
Exactly
They probably were but they only show up for made up things where they can make money.
They were called before and NOTHING was done.
Right!!!
This is why I was taken. They seen me leaving in the snow to go sleep at the playground and some neighbor called CPS. I was like 12. We tried to work it out and I always was allowed to speak to my mom but end of day the state raised me until I turned 21. It's crazy to see that it's not uncommon
I'm sorry that you were treated that way. I hope your life is filled with good things now
I'm so sorry this happened to you. There is nothing your 12-year-old self could've said or done to make you deserve that. I hope you know this. If it takes the rest of your life, please internalize what I'm saying to you right now. People who suffer abuse often struggle with the fact that they didn't somehow "earn" that kind of treatment. You didn't!!!I'm sending you so much positive healing energy right now. 🫂
Oh my God, you were a child. I hope you’re okay now and God is with you. My prayers.
Some of the parents should never be parents in the first place 😢
I wanted to be taken. My dad beat the stuffing out of me on the regular for mom’s enjoyment. School counselor saw a big handprint on my face where mom slapped me on the way to school. Insisted I talk to her. Took her hours before I opened up, only after she promised me I would never go back there again. 2 hours later, I was sitting across the desk from her as mom handed her a check for $3,000. I was told by the counselor if I ever set foot in her office again she would have me expelled and arrested. Both my parents beat me bloody that night. I never tried to outcry again. I’m in my 50’s now and only recently have I stopped being afraid of my mom (she’s almost 90).
Some parents should never have a child . Prayers for the children 🙏🙏🙏
They have to wait and see if the parents have broken any laws?????!!!!! Are you kidding me? What they did was so wrong that there’s no words, but watch the parents walk away Scott free‼️ Gotta love CPS. They’re NEVER there for the ones that really NEED them‼️
This is absolutely sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God they are alive. Prayers are needed indeed.
God and prayers is what got them into this.
They need to abandon the cult and find basic humanity without a religious fanaticism hanging over their lives.
@@ct5625 Yes⬆️ to this!!! Christianity didn’t help these kids. Legal authorities did.
Prayers for the children. 🙏 😢😢
Jail for the parents.
It was 🙏 prayer and God that led to this , another abuser God lover bible basher
What would you pray to? The god that allows this type of thing to happen?
@@susannovak8263You pray that, in spite of their parent's free will, that they will find people and support system, resources, etc to bring healing in the wake of this evil - that they can experience the healing presence of Jesus Christ in their hearts, His love that will fill them up and cause rejection and abuse to be a distant unfortunate memory 😢
Thank you neigjbors and friends for helping these boys.
This should have never been a news story. The community should have dealt with this when it started. What person is attending a church with these people?
Love to these neighbors ❤ God bless you all and these boys.
Love to people who watched 12 and 14-year-old boy sleep on a porch for 5 months and did nothing about it! So much love because they were trying to protect the criminal parents! Got to love them!
@MamaMOB And when the authorities were called, they said it was nothing they could do. So what are you talking about?
Why did this take 5 months? That's what I don't understand?
It wasn't an issue when the weather is pleasant. I like sleeping outside. It's not against the law.
@@heyokakoyeh You are not a minor child. It's outrageous for a child to be sleeping outside
@@heyokakoyeh here you are again with another crazy comment. Keep sleeping outside.
@@PinkkyyWellslots of people sleep on the porch in hot weather.
@rachelw6237 put your kids out there in the hot weather and in the cold. A lot of you people need to be silent this story is not about adults sleeping outside. Comprehension of a story is needed before commenting .
My son is 33 and I still ask him if he needs an extra blanket! Send those children to me! They won't want for anything ❤ hope they like dogs and cats
That's kind of you
You are so sweet❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Mine is 20 and he just interrupted reading this comment to ask me to log him into the computer and get him something to eat :). Those 'parents' are despicable.
❤❤❤
God bless you ❤❤❤
I love that ladyi ," don't want to wait for someone to freeze to death before we do something." Such common sense. So happy they did something before it was a sadder news report.they prevented a tragedy from occuring.
When that Officer said that wasn't anything they could do...I was floored! Are you kidding me! Give me your badges!
I was also shocked when CPS are trying to give the kids back to their evil parents.
Police will charge the kids or admit say "it's CPS job"
There are no more foster homes,so they allow things like this to continue.
The reality is there's nowhere to put them. I was floored when I found out the number of my students who were in foster homes. People are out here just having kids and letting them figure it out. Sick world.
@daisyadele967 what do you mean no more foster homes? That's a BS excuse for them not doing their job.
Thank You Neighbors for doing what you can God Bless
The parents need to suffer street justice
Yes but it took awhile!
@@Geema2004 No it didn't. They called CPS and the cops about this months ago. There's some movement in this because now the media is involved.
@@Geema2004no the neighbors have been trying to help. The law and cps wasn’t doing anything.
@Geema2004 The neighbors have been calling the police and cps for a while. Did heard what that man said he said police said is nothing they can do?
The kids are clearly homeless, 12 and 14 sleeping on the porch for 5 months being treated like their animals. They have their toothbrushes outside and the clothes on their back no water, no food, no facilities, their blankets never washed while the parents are safe inside and cozy???? Of course there is negligence…….. helllooooo…….this is SICK, what the hell is wrong with those parents man. WHY in Gods name do ppl have kids if they clearly don’t want them????? Heartbreaking
I’m sorry boys. Please know you don’t deserve this. Love from Connecticut.
My mother used to do this to and my brother- no help for us. I hope there is help for these babies ❤❤❤
My mom use to physically and verbally abuse me and manipulate me into thinking I was wrong I knew I was the black sheep and outcast of the family some of these moms really ain’t shit in this case the mom and dad not
Or build a hut... This is all honestly just low capacity.
I swear I thought I was the only one… smh
God bless you!
Why? (If you don't mind sharing) I'm trying to understand why someone would do this
I remember doing something like this as a kid, sleeping outside because as soon as I get home my mom would beat me so bad and so much that I would just go numb. Those kids deserve better no matter what they did, that's not a punishment, that's cruelty.
So very sorry you went through such a thing in your childhood. I pray God has helped the healing so that you can stand and go forward with your life.🙏🏽🙏🏽🛐🛐🕊️🕊️🕊️❤❤️🎉
I’m sorry ❤.
I'm so sorry, this happened to my sis, later my mom said she was sorry she disnt know why she treated her like that.🤧🙏🏼❤
I'm so sorry this happened to you. No child should ever have to live that way 😢
That’s terrible. You deserved better
This breaks my heart so sad.
Yeah who does he think he is? Tough love to head off raising a criminal is not ok today. Right?
It is so cold here and the wind has been crazy... Metro D
When you are a pastor or a priest or a nun,
You're supposed to have compassion for everyone and anyone all human life..... Where is this man's compassion for his own kids......
These parents let a 12 and 15-year-old sleep outside by themselves in inclement weather; meanwhile, another parent in another part of the country is facing criminal charges because she let her son walk to town by himself. Someone please explain this Insanity to me. 🤯
State laws vary from state to state.
In the United States... there should be a single Law regarding child abuse!! 👎🏾@choconethotcoco4717
How old was the child that walked to town?
@@iamlegend8120 Older than the state minimum required to leave a child unattended. Which in GA is 8 I believe and this kid had just turned 10 or was a couple days away from his 10th birthday. Cops are jerks.
10 yrs old is too young. Laws say 12 years old and he must have been immature for them to do that
Thank god they were able to stay somewhere warm! Those poor kids 🥺 deserve SO much better
Thank goodness for those neighbors trying to help them. Hope it all works out well for them.
Cops say there's nothing g wrong with the boys sleeping outside? What is wrong with these LAWS. That Pastor and his wife should be arrested in an outdoor cell
I’m confused kids can’t be in a hot car but they can be outside and freeze to death makes no sense
A car would actually cause more problems cause of the condensation they are safer like that but it's absolutely neglectful and the parents do need investigating
They’re minorities, what’s there to get?
@@URFUTUREUKYour comment makes absolutely no sense.
@@dejamesola yes it does, the car in minus temperatures would cause condensation it's safer to come outside than in an area their lungs over time would not do well in an environment like that. You're not a survivor are you lol
@@dejamesolauntil you’ve had to sleep in your car for a while or you do some research it will continue to not make sense for yas
How is this not neglect? Whoever attends that man’s church needs to see this.
I agree
This is beyond sad and cruel… What did these kids do to deserve this treatment and punishment.. The parents deserve to be treated the same way..
It is wonderful that so many neighbors are concerned. They are making an effort to bring attention to a problem and protect two children they don't even know.
What a crazy story. I hope the kids make it. I’m really glad the neighbors are on the job. That’s what community is all about. Helping and watching out for each other. Kudos to all who got involved. Your hero’s.
YES!!!!!
& when the children grow up & not wanna have anything to do with their parents, I don’t want those parents crying asking “why my children hate me?”
💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you too those that reached out to these young kids. That is so sad its freezing..... prayers too the kids.
I think I’ve seen it all when it’s ok to let children sleep outside in freezing temperatures and the police say it’s nothing they can do! This is absurd! This is really hard to believe
Praying for the Children 🙏
🙏🏾🥲💙
Thanks, to all that help the kids
They should arrest the damn parents. How dare they put their child out in the cold while they're inside nice & warm.
Yes, and charge them!! Neglect n child abuse!!
This is sick and sad at the same time I wouldn't care what my kids do wrong they will not be sleeping outside on the porch those parents need to be put in prison 😠 it makes me soo pissed every time I think about it I pray 🙏🏽 that they get a forever home were they will never have to experience being put out
Thank you to the neighbors who care more about these kids than the parents do 💔
I was coming home from work one day and saw my son walking home from school in the rain. I burst into tears!!!! The guilt was crushing - I couldn't breathe. I can't imagine the heart of a mother who sleeps comfortably in a warm bed while her children sleep outside in 20 degree weather. I'd be coming out of my SKIN with guilt and worry!!!
What’s wrong with walking home in the rain. We loved it in the 1970’s. Such fun.
@@abeswifee8442 Yeah I didn't get the bursting into tears part. I walked home in the rain, my kids did, it's not that bad. And I lived in Florida where you walked home in pouring down rain often. You just dry off, change your clothes, and get a snack. No way I'd leave my kiddo out in freezing weather but walking home in rain is nothing.
It depends what kind of rain. We're in central fl. There are a lot of days when it's sprinkling & that's fine. But sometimes it's torrential with lots of lightning & really not safe to be outside, and schools will either delay dismissals or let out early . We pick kiddo up from the bus stop when the weather is bad (with lightning). Not all kids have the luxury, but it's also not the end of the world 🤷♀️
i'm gonna assume you're on the coast and meant rain from the hurricane, because walking in inclement weather is just a fact of existing on earth.
Lay off on Pettynettie-obviously seeing their child walking home in the rain triggered a painful moment and they burst out crying--I completely understand that-just like I understand what walking home from school in the rain was like when it felt good-and times when it didn’t feel good-like when you’re underdressed and cold-so everyone chill out. This isn’t the point they were trying to make. The point is that anyone who loves their kids finds this apathetic behavior towards their children sleeping on a porch absolutely heartbreaking and disturbing. That’s the point. I think we can all agree that this is abuse.
A twelve-year-old is not a teenager and a fourteen-year-old is not a fifteen-year-old.
Since you're being technical, a porch is a part of the house. So they were living in the house technically.
Technically they are living outside the house not in the house
@@justtubing767and technically they're being abused
I they should be jailed! You have people getting their children taken away for less. This is ridiculous! What did they do that they have to live outside for months as punishment? And idc if "they want to" theyvare kids and dont know any better but i strong dont believe they want to freeze.
It’s a shame when you need help from the police now there is nothing they can do? Where are the shelters. I don’t care what those boys did, sleeping in the cold is not a punishment it’s cruel and the parents need to sleep on the porch for six months. A pastor and his wife, my GOD have mercy on your souls.
That's a damn shame that parents would treat their children that way I salute the neighbors for standing up trying to help and calling the police that's how we need to take care of our neighborhoods we have to care about each other we don't have to be in each other's business but it doesn't her to speak up when you see something wrong especially with children
Exactly
Agree 💯 this situation Screams See something Say something. Thank you to All trying to help these children. Some people don't need to be parents. Show their faces.
Q mmm
CPS does nothing until the media gets involved. The way children are treated in this society is deplorable. You don't have any rights until you are 18.
If this isn't neglect and abuse I don't know what is then Disgusting as hell
You try it but its gonna be different.. for you

Thank you for keeping up on this story!
God bless the neighbors for caring, getting involved and for notifying authorities.
Lol they waited months! Lousy
It looks like they will get in trouble if they except any food or help. They have to be removed from the home in order for them to be safe. If the parents discipline them like this in front of everyone, then just imagine what they do when no one is looking!!!
They have been instilled with not accepting handouts!! Some made up church doctine!?
Child abuse, no less.
The police said this was NOT illegal? WTF?
Detroit Police should be held as accountable as the parents for not handling Child Abuse and Neglect!
This is abuse in every sense of the word. How is this even needing ‘investigating to see if laws were broken’? Those parents should have been locked up the instant this came to light.
Ridiculous.
Those parents need to be locked up. This is child abuse
Forcing your children to sleep on the porch in 15 degrees is questionable negligence?!? Idgaf if they ‘missed curfew’ or something- 15 degrees?! Oh no there’s no excuse
God bless the neighbors for getting involved. 🙏🏽
It's child endangerment, it's neglect, it's abuse, and there is something they can do about it!
This makes me sick. That's not parenting, that's abuse!! And his calling himself a pastor is a shame, that is the work of satan for someone to do that. SHAME. Those poor kids
Horrible damn parents need to be sentenced to 2 years of porch arrest ....A damn so called pastor and his wife what damn example can you possibly make by child abuse. If Kim Worthy, CPS and the police don't do something to these parents they should be charged too for derelict of duty. They need to pay for this if not in this life I can guarantee it the Lord has this recorded during judgement. Damn this really pisses me off🤬
How could you even think about doing something like this to your own child?
Most normal people want their children to have a safe life.
Those boys must be respectful staying near home n not running away. God bless them.
I agree. The way he quietly went to the porch made me think he’s a good kid. Why would anyone do this to their child, even a bad one?
They didn't even want to take money! 😢 I don't understand this story! Why aren't the parents in jail?!!
Respectful/terrified
They are scared.. he will kill them.. I was part of a religious cult...
It’s called children in fear. Unbelievable that anyone would characterize this as “respectful.”
A. Not surprised dad is a pastor
B. How is it not breaking the law to make your kids sleep in 20 degrees Fahrenheit!? That’s called torture.
This!!!
That is cruel and unusual punishment definitively.
No one wants to be in those situations... 🙏🙏🙏 Prayers for those young men!
This heartbreaking 😢😢😢Lord Jesus, PLEASE protect these kids🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amen
Hallelujah! Thank goodness someone helped them 😇🙏🏻😇
I hope that man of God's church knows what their pastor is doing to his boys. This is straight up child abuse.
I recently watched a video where another man was arrested for child abuse and child endangerment for making his teenage daughters sleep in the backyard because they had stolen his credit card and order stuff online. The girl went knocking on neighbors doors because they were cold and the police were called. So how is it that that man was charged and arrested but not this couple?
Thank god for the neighbors and good Samaritan’s! We need more people to get involved in things that are suspicious and signs of abuse! This is endangering the life of a child and abuse!
Nothing they can do wtf 🤬 that’s child abuse you don’t put your kids out in the freezing cold with windchills down to single digits someone needs arrested and thrown in jail 🤬🤬🤬
I totally absolutely 💯 agree!!
They will arrest you for doing this to your dog! This is a shame
It says a lot when they said, the children sometimes want to sleep outside.
