I am speechless . How powerful is the mothers love. No matter what condition the child is in, she holds him whole day. Simply amazing. I pray that someday this child could be cured.
children of Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia and others, they all have the same stories to tell. Not happy ones but life in despair and misery. don't give up fellow southeast asians, one good day we will be there where we all should be.
Dear Lord, please intercede and give solace, peace, healing, and a decent livelihood to these beautiful human beings....I pray in the name of Thou Greatest, Amen.
My baby ever fell from the bed but thank god he is perfectly fine. my heart sinks at the thought of their baby. life is hard enough, and yet they face another challenge. i can only hope n pray for their well being.
Ya'lls effort to have a first birthday party for your baby, is the kind of effort that honors the sacredness of life. So very beautiful, abundant blessings and a thousand thank yous
Jah Tzu I was so moved by her beautiful heart. The love she and her husband gave their injured child will help him to recover more than any doctor or medication could ever even dream of. I wonder where she and her family are now. I would love to help them in some way.
Drugs are a huge problem in VN. I lost my brother to drugs. Trafficking children for sex is also rampant. Government of VN, do something to these problems, please, please, please. Protect our children. Poverty, sex exploitation, drug ,abuse how much more these children have to suffer? THANK YOU RFA FOR THIS INFORMATIVE CLIP.
Thx a lot, I was having a descent day, and this video came and made me tear. I am so depressed now, the truth is so mean. This video has also motivated me to adopt a street kid in Vietnam, I don't know, I just wanna help.
I have been to Vietnam 8 times as I have friends there. I have seen for myself first hand the poverty all around.The people that come from their hometown to work in Saigon and other cities really struggle. I really feel for these people. One hungry child is one too many!
I've never been to Vietnam. It was a very good learning. I think we all can benefit from these documentaries. Everyone, please don't lose hope! Yes, I'm Thai,we are good friends. Thank you very much
This video really shows all the struggle these people are facing. My family comes from Vietnam, so we come back every couple years, staying for a couple months each time, and Ive personally seen this go on first hand. First off, I just want to point out that this is definitely not propaganda. This problem is something I've seen and experienced ever since first visiting Vietnam almost 20 years ago. Back then, there was so many of these children always coming up to my parents to sell lottery tickets and gum. They would flock towards us every time we got off a taxi and I remember my parents would shoo them off. These days, there are not as much, but the drug/heroin problem in Vietnam is still very big. My cousin actually died from HIV/AIDS, from hanging out with the wrong crowd and being poor and uneducated. From what I've seen and heard from my family, kids from smaller villages run away from home to the city to find jobs, and the unfortunate ones end up in the sex trade and gangs. Its become such a big problem that when I went back this summer, there would be large bill boards warning people of the effects of drug abuse. Another point form the video that hits home is how they're moving underground. Now, the sex industry has become incorporated into other industries like food, and service. Nowadays, there would be shady restaurants that would have skimpy girls servicing you and eat and drink with you, known to Vietnamese people as "Bia Om". Salon workers now give massages and extra services if you know where to go. The vid also mentions the growing divide between the rich and the poor, and this is something you will see the minute you get off the plane. People in Ho Chi Minh either own a business, work within corporate, or live in the streets. Its incredibly sad seeing my country like this, and I hope one day it will become better.
T Duong We must do everything, anything we can to help the street children. If all we can do is help just one child, help one. Anything we do is better than doing nothing.
I remember the suffering children during my time in Vietnam and it seems they're still suffering. Doesn't seem to end for those poor children and they're so sweet and always smiling regardless of their situation. I admire that woman taking care of her children and wish someone could help the child. So where does one donate to help the children?
I was there in saigon till 1986. I am here in the States now. But I promise you guys, we will come back and help you to get rid of these sorrows. Anh, Chi , Em, we will be there.
@@mohammadibnallah8062 Good question. He seems to be staying out of the picture for a very long time now. An almighty god would be just what these situations need...and yet no intervention. Hmmmmm. Makes one wonder.
According to Forbes magazine. An American who own a house with two cars are in the top 5% of wealth in the world population. Now can we say we are spoiled brats?!
Vietnam government must take a strong step to help these kids give them best education and healthy food, Because these kids are strong and bright future for Vietnam
thank God iam lived in america now but tell you my father was american soldier my mom viet namese back then the viet nam country people there hated it us they treated us like crapt no school no place to live i was live on the street in ben xe mien dong lived there long time man tell you when i sick nobody care man i do nt know my father and my mom married with another viet namese guy thing not good from there i was homeles for years and i moved to different town worked for food be for i came to U S A lucky me thank God
I am very sorry for what happened to you. You might never get this your post is 3 years old when I found it. I was 18 years old when I went to Viet Nam in the US Army, I met a beautiful lady her name is Duong Thi Ngoc An,I feel in love with her and lost track of her, I wish I could have of brought her back home with me ,things happened I could not control. I truly find this and.answer God bless you, Cam On, Tom
They should not be having kids they cannot afford, and we should not be allowing those kids to suffer without doing something for them. Great report, really liking this channel.
How can we help these kids? I buy the occasional pack of gum and flowers, but I feel like that doesn't help. Are there any organizations in HCMC that help these families and children?
I met a lady in in Viet Nam when I was in the US Army by the name of Duong Thi Ngoc An, I am still searching for her praying she made it out . Answer if you can,it's been many years and I will never forget!!! I will never forget any of you people, love you all, try to forgive our gov. for not going back I would have and many more of us would have, God Bless you, Cam On
Economy has improved or more private organisations and citizens have stepped in to help. Also more manufacturing has moved from China to Vietnam's countrysides so less people moving to big cities like Saigon. However there are still kids exploited by adults inc. their own parents but not as wide-spread as before. We should do more to help countries like VN instead of making China rich! P/S I typed on a Samsung Note 10 made in Vietnam!
Reminds me of the film les miserables but in modern life so sad. I left Vietnam when I was a child and have everything I need now makes me grateful to live in the uk
Just a couple of weeks ago, I'm still complaining about how high the house price is in China today. But now.... Yes, I should be more thankful and help others, and appreciate for what I have now. I hope the girl in this video could realize her dream and become a doctor.
Propaganda?!?...How can One fail to see or feel the real love of this young and brave mother for her children... Respect is All I have for her I must say.
@Nam Vu, these people didn't have their education and they barely have enough income to survive. It's sad already, so don't comments something like you know everything.
This is a very sad story in many ways, but also one with lots and lots of hope and progress. The authorities are spot on correct about identifying the problems with street kids and they are getting better at dealing with it. The economy has expanded many fold in the last 20 years and more than anything, it's the availability of good jobs and free education that is going to get these kids out of the gutter.
Yes the "C" word. That is exactly what Ho Chi Minh wanted. In 1945 when he he wrote the new Declaration of Independence for Vietnam, it was formed partly from words that were first written in the Declaration of the French Revolution and the US Declaration of Independence. Sooner or later I'm sure Vietnam will change their government style to better handle the current needs of a multi-billion dollar capitalist economy. And I hope the entire free world helps them gracefully with this process, with kind support, because this time it will be entirely a Vietnamese decision and it will be a win-win change for all Vietnamese people and the entire world.
+Bi Bi Yeah which is why you live in the US xD Also hey isn´t vietnam supposed to be ultra censoring and violating human rights? Why are you not in jail then? Rofl.
+TheFreeFlow have you ever gone there? It's very free and open, you're overlook rural areas. People Do not follow traffic laws, little business regulations
This is what the Viet people wanted, fought for, and won. This is the communist hell that so many gave their lives to secure. Congratulations on your glorious victory.
In Vietnam the corruption was a very serious problem.With the money to be sended from abroad(at least 10 billions a year plus a clean govervent), the problems can be solved easely.
The last crown prince of Vietnam had made a request of us Viets world wide to put aside the political differences that goes on in Vietnam and focus more on helping our people to be more prosperous. Like his descendents, Vietnam was flourishing before the French and Commies took over. Yes my fellow Viets, our Imperials are still alive but sadly not too many of us were taught about them. Lets fulfill our last crown prince request. :)
Thailand has a relatively good infrastructure and the majority of Thai people are well cared for compared to neighboring countries. Homelessness is not a major problem in Thailand to my knowledge.
anyone know when the baby's birthday is? i would like to give the parents a gift and pay for the baby's next birthday. i will be in vietnam in a couple of weeks and would like to meet them. what an incredible story. please get back to me if you know where i can find them in vietnam.
Government has ignored this issue for a long time. They only care for their own shake and that is to suck out all the money when they can out of their own people. Just so sad to see the children suffers and left behind.
Sadly this is not a child friendly world. Too many children suffer all over the world. Only God can fix this corrupt, degraded world and that day is coming, not far off.
I've stayed in some of the local peoples homes and it really hits hard but if I kept giving away money I would be in the same situation I known one day I'll make it and do great things for the people in need that's my life's mission and reason for being
And people in the US think communism is a good thing? Im so glad I left Vietnam, I've never been more proud to be a naturalized US citizen! I don't care what anyone says, the US is a lot better than most places. I wish a lot the Americans I've met that complained so much about everything, would be forced to live the life that many of us immigrants had to endure.
moi qui vit au VN depuis 8 ans deja, je trouve que les vietnamiens ne sont pas pauvres..ils ont de belles voitures ... ils sont plus riches que moi ... pourquoi subsiste t'il ce probleme avec les enfants dans la rue?
But u have to understand that each country got their own money, U cannot expect a European country to come and give u money? Its YOUR government that has to make a balance, coz in Vietnam, u have people who are Very very rich, and the rest is very very poor. So why cant u share more ? coz the government and rich people don't mind living that life, the poor side is not beyond their family and it doesn't matter
Some people say life in Vietnam is happy? So why are 2 million Vietnamese people leaving the country? and why are the children of the leaders of Vietnam sent abroad but not in Vietnam, is it funny?
Good question although I get the feeling you are begging it and know more than you let on. Be that as it may I offer the following. Mission: Advance goals of US foreign policy. Operators: Broadcasting Board of Governors, a branch of the US Government. It's background origin was in the 50's and the anticommunist movement. I suspect the "agency" that is running this show is the same one whose predecessor in 1945 made the only sensible decision regarding Vietnam to date but were overruled. RFA would say something different than the above. However, problem of children on the street is a serious problem in HCMC....as it is in every major US city. There is also a serious problem of children in the their own homes in the US- state and national statistics on child abuse are horrifying. As HCMC becomes more Westernized, Western problems follow. Proliferation of fast food corporations have created a national epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Child abuse in homes and daycare centers are also rearing their ugly heads.
If you know you can't give the kid a good life than don't have sex and fart out the kid. Kids should not be made to sell things on the street to help support the stupid parents. What kind of parents take from their kids.
+TheFreeFlow You offer some very legitimate points. I spent the entire month of September in HCM, Go Vap District which is considered the ghetto by Vietnam standards and I never witnessed any of the bs this documentary suggests. Thanks Freeflow for your finer points!
tragic. there is no social net to protect the disenfranchised whatsoever. but on another note, why not use birth control, perhaps? if you can't support yourself, why have kids? doesn't make any sense. the govt could do a public campaign on teenage pregnancy. too sad.
+AK H. (bufferoverflow88) I agree with you on the why have kids part. But birth control isnt something that is readily available to these people. The thing with their lifestyle is that the little money they make, they would have to spend that on food and housing. A pack of condoms will probably cost them a weeks worth of work.
+AK H. (bufferoverflow88) Sometimes the parents decide to have kids regardless of their lifestyle conditions because their kids will be a helping hand when they are older. Although when that time comes, they will still be financially unstabled, which is a problem.
Watching this is so sad for the kids trying to make ends meat struggling on the streets...I feel that people in All parts of the world take for Granted, that their way of living isn't really that bad of a living situation or i say poor...poor... :(
This saddens me. How can anyone allow their child to grow up like this? People's pet dogs and cats live a better life in western countries than these street children.
I agree with you Mr. Trieu. Im now loosing all my believe for the government and the Communist party. They dont care about poor people. How painful it is to see too many children and old people working on the streets every day. I hope there will be a positive change in leaders' mind, but it may be hopeless thing.
mass rural to urban migration occurs when the ruling power 1st sets up its central government (after subduing contenders and securing the land & people) and begins looking for revenue within its borders, to stay in power and build its nation state. This is done by entering into contracts with foreign governments and corporations interested in buying natural resources from them. But first technology must be bought to extract these resources, immediately placing the government into debt, on top of all the debt it already accrued while trying to get into power (either peacefully or by armed means). But one peace is secured, business can begin, which brings in all sorts of new opportunities and wealth for the people. But even these positive aspects can have negative consequences. Like the young village girl who ran off to the city after being sexually assaulted by her father, after his wife ran off with another man, because this man became rich overnight with all the changes in the village, while the husband remained poor. So that the once respectable sharecropper became lowered in status all of a sudden, especially after his crops began dwindling due to pollution. While the previously lowly odd-job worker became a very important man by befriending and meeting the needs of the wealthy foreign workers in the new oil refinery nearby. Causing him to rise in status and desirability, and giving him choice pickings of all the females in the village. Yet he chose his former sweetheart, even though she was already married now after rejecting his proposals for marriage because of his poverty. But the sudden reversal in fortune of her former lover, along with all the other changes sweeping the village, caused her to abandon her family to run off with him. Resulting in the abandoned husband raping his own daughter out of vengeance and rage. That must be where at least one of these street children you've used to make your neat little documentary comes from....I think. Gross!
any country either rich nation need people paid TAX to help other problem. In vietnam or any third world nation if the people don't want to paid TAX same as other rich country then how it can help
I am speechless . How powerful is the mothers love. No matter what condition the child is in, she holds him whole day. Simply amazing. I pray that someday this child could be cured.
her smile, her power gives so much positive life energy to anyone watching ( at least to anyone sensitive enough? )
Watching this make me appreciate what I have in life. I should be more thankful and help others.

Its become such a big problem that when I went back this summer, there would be large bill boards warning people of the effects of drug abuse.
Another point form the video that hits home is how they're moving underground. Now, the sex industry has become incorporated into other industries like food, and service.

Economy has improved or more private organisations and citizens have stepped in to help. Also more manufacturing has moved from China to Vietnam's countrysides so less people moving to big cities like Saigon.

You have to admire that mother with a sick child.
And people in the US think communism is a good thing? Im so glad I left Vietnam, I've never been more proud to be a naturalized US citizen! I don't care what anyone says, the US is a lot better than most places. I wish a lot the Americans I've met that complained so much about everything, would be forced to live the life that many of us immigrants had to endure.
I want good subtitle
moi qui vit au VN depuis 8 ans deja, je trouve que les vietnamiens ne sont pas pauvres..ils ont de belles voitures ... ils sont plus riches que moi ... pourquoi subsiste t'il ce probleme avec les enfants dans la rue?
But u have to understand that each country got their own money, U cannot expect a European country to come and give u money? Its YOUR government that has to make a balance, coz in Vietnam, u have people who are Very very rich, and the rest is very very poor. So why cant u share more ? coz the government and rich people don't mind living that life, the poor side is not beyond their family and it doesn't matter
What is the purpose of this video
Some people say life in Vietnam is happy? So why are 2 million Vietnamese people leaving the country? and why are the children of the leaders of Vietnam sent abroad but not in Vietnam, is it funny?
What is the mission of radio free asia ? who runs them ? why not ay follow-up
Good question although I get the feeling you are begging it and know more than you let on. Be that as it may I offer the following.
Mission: Advance goals of US foreign policy.
Operators: Broadcasting Board of Governors, a branch of the US Government.
It's background origin was in the 50's and the anticommunist movement. I suspect the "agency" that is running this show is the same one whose predecessor in 1945 made the only sensible decision regarding Vietnam to date but were overruled.
RFA would say something different than the above.
However, problem of children on the street is a serious problem in HCMC....as it is in every major US city. There is also a serious problem of children in the their own homes in the US- state and national statistics on child abuse are horrifying. As HCMC becomes more Westernized, Western problems follow. Proliferation of fast food corporations have created a national epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Child abuse in homes and daycare centers are also rearing their ugly heads.
Thumbs down for the blurring of the faces of the girls.
If you know you can't give the kid a good life than don't have sex and fart out the kid. Kids should not be made to sell things on the street to help support the stupid parents. What kind of parents take from their kids.
Where's the free birth control, then? Many of these girls/ women have been kidnapped, raped, prostituted...now you're calling THEM dumb?
Heartbreaking!
+Marks Made Heartbreakingly fake....

You offer some very legitimate points. I spent the entire month of September in HCM, Go Vap District which is considered the ghetto by Vietnam standards and I never witnessed any of the bs this documentary suggests. Thanks Freeflow for your finer points!
touching moving video
tragic. there is no social net to protect the disenfranchised whatsoever. but on another note, why not use birth control, perhaps? if you can't support yourself, why have kids? doesn't make any sense. the govt could do a public campaign on teenage pregnancy. too sad.
+AK H. (bufferoverflow88) Indeed tragically how cheaply faked this is...
+AK H. (bufferoverflow88) I agree with you on the why have kids part. But birth control isnt something that is readily available to these people. The thing with their lifestyle is that the little money they make, they would have to spend that on food and housing. A pack of condoms will probably cost them a weeks worth of work.
+AK H. (bufferoverflow88) Sometimes the parents decide to have kids regardless of their lifestyle conditions because their kids will be a helping hand when they are older. Although when that time comes, they will still be financially unstabled, which is a problem.
The govt has a 2 child per women rule though
Wow 38 years after the war ended!
Watching this is so sad for the kids trying to make ends meat struggling on the streets...I feel that people in All parts of the world take for Granted, that their way of living isn't really that bad of a living situation or i say poor...poor... :(
Good for me I don't even have to read the subtitles
This saddens me. How can anyone allow their child to grow up like this? People's pet dogs and cats live a better life in western countries than these street children.
I agree with you Mr. Trieu. Im now loosing all my believe for the government and the Communist party. They dont care about poor people. How painful it is to see too many children and old people working on the streets every day. I hope there will be a positive change in leaders' mind, but it may be hopeless thing.
mass rural to urban migration occurs when the ruling power 1st sets up its central government (after subduing contenders and securing the land & people) and begins looking for revenue within its borders, to stay in power and build its nation state. This is done by entering into contracts with foreign governments and corporations interested in buying natural resources from them. But first technology must be bought to extract these resources, immediately placing the government into debt, on top of all the debt it already accrued while trying to get into power (either peacefully or by armed means). But one peace is secured, business can begin, which brings in all sorts of new opportunities and wealth for the people. But even these positive aspects can have negative consequences. Like the young village girl who ran off to the city after being sexually assaulted by her father, after his wife ran off with another man, because this man became rich overnight with all the changes in the village, while the husband remained poor. So that the once respectable sharecropper became lowered in status all of a sudden, especially after his crops began dwindling due to pollution. While the previously lowly odd-job worker became a very important man by befriending and meeting the needs of the wealthy foreign workers in the new oil refinery nearby. Causing him to rise in status and desirability, and giving him choice pickings of all the females in the village. Yet he chose his former sweetheart, even though she was already married now after rejecting his proposals for marriage because of his poverty. But the sudden reversal in fortune of her former lover, along with all the other changes sweeping the village, caused her to abandon her family to run off with him. Resulting in the abandoned husband raping his own daughter out of vengeance and rage. That must be where at least one of these street children you've used to make your neat little documentary comes from....I think. Gross!
I want to help the little girl who is selling lottery tickets. I really admire her dream to become a doctor.
Tội cho trẻ em việt quá!.
tội nghiệp chị đó quá, nhìn chỉ hiền quá.
surviving in the streets isnt as hard as surviving in rural areas of north korea.
Why is life so damn cruel?
Why even 25 dislikes??
"Dislikes" are not meaningful without an explanation. It could be suspicion of who operates RFA or a troll wishing to see comments like yours.
So pay her some money for the interview....👍🏻
any country either rich nation need people paid TAX to help other problem. In vietnam or any third world nation if the people don't want to paid TAX same as other rich country then how it can help
have there been?
Do you realize what you say? Do not overdo things this way, is not honest ..
