Sexual abuse seems to be a common theme running through most of the interviews with addicts and sex workers. We as a society need to do something
Agreed. I wonder how we could get this under control? I mean I think maybe making it illegal to have kids if you're a drug user, but, how do you really enforce that? Maybe you have to put up 200k before being allowed to have a kid or something, and you get that back with interest, but it shows the parent can at least take care of the kid. I realize these are crazy ideas with lots of issues, but, just throwing stuff out there - we need something dramatic.
@@commanderrussels2612 yea but then the child would just go to the system and that’s where the abuse always happens at. My old friend was in the system she was only 5 when she got her first std.
@@lyssbuilds5795 So sad.
@@commanderrussels2612 wouldn’t we have to try starting by helping out the girls on the street get out?
@@heaven7612 I concur
She started with her story and didn't stop. She just wants to talk and it breaks my heart.
Exactly I wish I could take all her pain away & show her it’s still genuine people out here💔
Foster care does this to you. We all go thru alot when you end up in the System. Depression hits hard later in life. 💔
Me too. I pray this beautiful intelligent young lady finds what she needs and deserves.
I can honestly understand the good that imagine this "Pretty Woman" kind of ending but I see that as also taking advantage. These women have very little chance to get out of this kind of life. It's just so so sad.

As a Social Worker this really made me remember the saying "If we don't raise our Kids the Street will " She really just needs Love and a good support system.
Our entire child protective services have failed so many of these children!
Just about every story I have listened to has failure of the child protective system.
@@marymonroy8442 this channel is focused mostly on stories of lost souls, so it makes sense that they will able be failures of the system. doesnt mean the system didnt work for others
How long have you been an SW? I'm going back to school next spring to finish up my Sociology Degree.
@@conscioussouthernsoul I've been a Social Worker for 5 years now. I had a Bachelors Degree in basic Psychology and found a 2 year Masters Degree program at UCF here in Florida. I'm sure your degree field would transfer. Good Luck we can do anything through recovery !
@@stevouknow8408 Yes we can and thank you! 😊 I work at an Emergency Shelter for children whom are in the system an I'd witness so much while working there. I had this one adolescent whom did drugs with mom and that broke my heart. I can't have children so my husband and I are looking into adoption. It hurts my heart so much seeing all these Children's in the system because of the hands of their parents. Some people shouldn't be aloud to have children and yet I can't. That's why I want to work as a Social Worker besides so many are needing homes.
Can we get a part 2? I really wonder how she’s doing. This interview moved me.
She literally was asked one question n later told her entire life story .. this needed to be said she was holding onto it for soo long probably
Yeah, an interviewers dream, just sit while the story pours out without influence.
That part
She's hurt and she needs to release it all. I pray that she gets help.
@@duawanmills1607 ur answer is the only smart one. She needs to release. This young girl is in pain. She's been through a really tough time. The folks on this thread made dumb comments about her interview. Glad u didn't. Respect 2u.
Honestly I think if you listen to her mothers story it would be completely different I think she’s playing victim but I think a parent was trying to help her if you listen carefully she contradicts herself couple of times makes no sense
Mark, this is the one person you need to find real help for far away from LA. She is a smart, caring person. She is not destroyed by drugs yet. She can be saved. She should be saved. Please, save her.
Your comment gave me chills...
Please!! 🙏🙏🙏
I completely agree!!!!!! I’m on the other side of the world, but I would donate money to get her out of this.
@K K the only way for that to happen is to have America have a standard, low income for EVERY adult. Make the super rich pay for it!
@@sinarolo6182 get outta here with that socialist nonsense. it's never worked, stop trying to make it happen here.
You can tell the only thing that brings this girl to tears is her family. She has learned to hold her feelings back but is unable to when it comes to them.
Heartbreaking
She just needed to talk it out, glad she got a chance.
I have been kidnapped and tortured when I was 16 and when I went to trial of these 3 young men, my mum called me discusting for going into details, as a victim/ witness. I am 44 now and carry these words with me every day, relive the ordeal in nightmares every night since. Sometimes I can wake up somewhat rested… only now finding whats ptsd and why I am the way I am, could fight a tallest man if I see abuse in public, even if I risk being stabbed, and God forbid if somebody is nasty to my kids.
Wish I could have talked it out to somebody that wouldnt judged.
Dear one, write a letter to an imaginary person you "know" will understand and has compassion
It will be your true testamony and perhaps a book.
Sweet sweet sweetheart
Feed your light, a little bit here, there, build.
I send you love.
😢 i am so sorry
Sp. disgusting
I’m so sorry for what you’ve experienced. I truly hope you’re able to find peace. Sending you love and light.
I’m wishing routings for you little sister there’s more to life and I know you’ll have that chance because you sound like you’re searching and so you will find a better life you deserve it as we all do.
I live in New Orleans. If you want an escape out of this life, my door is open to you and I'll do my best to help you get back on your feet. I lost my mom too. I drowned my sorrows to escape facing the nightmare. I know how you feel girl. if u see this, I'm dead serious. I'll get you a flight out of there and help you!!!

PLEASE TAKE THIS HELP FRENCHIE!!!!
She didn’t wanna leave the interview, she enjoyed opening up and venting. It hurts cause you can see she’s still going through all of that emotion. I hope she finds her way, you can tell her heart is pure yet bruised.
Yeah you can tell she felt safe I feel for her man poor girl man
Yeah she’s definitely starving for some attention
She's working game on ol' boy. She learned it from sugar free.
Such a beautiful girl you have so much worth...Jesus is a real help in times of trouble just ask him girl.
I know from experience it feels so good to open up to somebody 😌
So much sadness, pain and inhumanity, Mark. I don’t know how you are able to keep doing this. But it’s important that you do. Thank you for giving voice to society’s underbelly.
She was showing her vulnerability while crying in public and someone literally swooped in and pounced on her vulnerability...what a sick world
Yeah I mean I don't think I could handle listening to all this misery every day. But then again, imagine living it?... I wish I could help everyone of them...
after watching so many of your videos, this one hurt me the most. shes so well spoken and her heart seems so pure. i see so much potential in her. truly wishing better for her
Man, they are not her family. Family don't do that. They abandoned that girl. They got rid of her and kept making excuses as to why she couldn't come back in actuality they never wanted her there. This is so sad.
Exactly cuz thats just what it sound like!.... them damn people don't care about that girl not even a little bit...she could get killed 6 times by some crazy ass person out there and they mad at her for not showing up for a dinner or 2?....naw with her gone that's just one less person they gotta deal with they have a clique and don't wanna let her in that's all....I wish I could throw some hot grease on all they asses for her
i know right, they made her feel like she had to keep doing certain tasks in order for her family to want her and include her but in all her efforts they never changed
No. She said they invited her to multiple family gatherings but she declined because she believed there would be an underlying tension. She said things would appear to be ok but she would feel like there is still resentment from her family. She said her sisters wants her to get help. I'm sorry for being brutally honest here but she doesn't want to hold herself accountable for her actions. If her family abandoned her, they would not be inviting her anywhere at all. They wouldn't even answer her phone calls or want better for her. She admitted to going back to the same man who conflicted the relationship between her and her mother. The interviewer asked her what is she going to do after the interview and her answer was "getting down" again while laughing. I'm sorry for how her life turned out but until she can be able to hold herself accountable, she's her own worst enemy. She has to admit her faults to herself. She has to admit her own part in her own self destruction.
@@livsux Tasks like what? Go to rehab?
@@redward18 no.. the program she was staying in wasnt rehab, she went there for her childhood trauma. when she turned 18 she didn’t want to stay there anymore and finish the program which is understandable. her family never wanted her back home, they made it seem like she had to do a bunch of extra shit just to be able to come home. this put her in a situation where she was homeless and turned to the streets. the only family member who was trying to get her back home was her mom, and everytime her mom asked the rest of them they said they didn’t want her home. they didn’t invite her to their moms burial, and excluded her from a lot of important shit, so yes the life she chose is her decision but you can’t rly blame her
Lord this is your child .. you chose her and called her by name. Relieve her from this struggle. Your strong my sister. Praying you find your way to the light ! Amen
Amen 🙏
In Jesus name we pray!
In the MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS!
Amen!
AMEN
This poor girl was born to a meth addict mother, molested by her grandparents, witnessed abuse in her home, sent away, shunned by her family then sexually, physically & mentally abused only to be told she needs to seek treatment if she wants to have a relationship with her family. May she find the love & support she needs. I want to hug her so tight ❤
She has been through so much and she's talking about it like its business as usual. My heart goes out to her. She is so brave and strong.
The interviewer hardly spoke during this interview, she just needed someone to talk to and let all her pain out. She’s only 20 years old and has gone through it all. I hope she finds healing and help.
I know 2 girls personally, who work in this business. One of them is coming from a "prostitute family" and the other one was raised "normally". They aren't such emotional wrecks, like this girl... I feel sorry for her. 😨
@@iiii3125 I doubt that prostitutes can be emotionally stable and not have any problems but I'll take your word for it buddy.
I noticed the same thing I admire how he just let her take the floor, she so needed this she barely paused ❤️
This girl had this shit rehearsed she knew everything she was going to say don’t be so gullible in two years from 18 to 20 she went through that much come on I don’t believe all the shit she saying LMAO
Updates up on the channel
The fact that she opened up so quickly. She's really alone she really wanted and needed to talk to someone about her life and her story. She's so smart I'm hoping she gets the help that she needs. She's crying for help so bad. She's desperately trying to get up a hill in a car with little gas she just needs to get over that hilltop and realize how good life is. Even tho life is painful it's beautiful. Your body isn't worth $60,000 it's priceless and you have so much worth Selena.
Amen Hon..
My thoughts exactly! Praying for her, she can and will make it!
Rooting for you Selena ❤
❤️
Perfectly said!! ❤️
Yess exactlyy like how she said she would have to realize she doesn’t have her mom if she gets out, even so, it would be way better to get out of that lifestyle and be able to feel her emotions and live her life, I hope she gets help too💕
Please interviewer!! Give this young lady some help! She should not leave this interview without having somewhere safe to go. Praying for you Selena 🙏🏾
The amount of horrible, evil people in this world who ruin children's lives is staggering. I hope she can make it
Got me crying the whole interview I can’t believe how people get treated in This world 🥺🥺🥺
Her siblings demonizing her for the abuse she suffered in their home and by their hands is sickening. This poor girl.
She is the scapegoat of a narcissistic family. Her only option is no contact, but they will drag her back in as long as they are able to track her down. Family can be the sickest cruelest people.
@@Chahlie assuming she’s telling the whole truth. From her story she’s always the victim. That’s suspicious to me.
@@ngpdreamteam2k4 i was thinking the same thing
1 side of the story
@@loyalty_royalty6195 I got pawgs on my lap all day and night on crystal rocks it’s great 👍
The fact that she still cared for her mom even though the mom was a monster
That is the craziest things about kids they always love their mom and that is kinda of scared cause there are mothers who cause more pain to their own children than anyone can ever do
Oxytocin It plays a role in social bonding, reproduction, childbirth, and the period after childbirth.[4] Oxytocin is released into the bloodstream as a hormone in response to love and in labor.[5][6] This helps with birth, bonding with the baby, and milk production.[6][7]
It's hard to comprehend if a parent of yours is a monster....because, that would sort of make you part monster, if you believe it's in dna
@@spearshaker7974 I never knew that. I was on pills for a while.
@@rebekahmartinez5394 I’ve been taken them since 16 more than half my life. Oxytocin is the chemical that forces u to love your parents u basically have no choice u are chemically attached to them
I'm a father of a beautiful girl. Seeing 5 minutes of this interview scares the crap out of me. I'm a chef and her mom works at a state hospital and she works with mentally ill people. My daughter says she wants to help people who are sick like her mom does. Her mom didn't even graduate and she makes decent money. There's so many options out there you just gotta look. Life is hard as fack man. Mine aint perfect but it's honest. We all got battles mija it's time to fight the right ones
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏
as someone without a dad and in a struggling 2 person household this comment really helped me. you have no idea
I've watched every single interview, this one right here really made me cry!! I understand what that pain is that she feels I wish I could just hug her and let her know that none of what happened in her childhood should she be sorry for!!
She is literally crying out for help.... poor baby, she is a smart girl😔
This is how America rolls. And kids are coming across the boarders undocumented? They wont even look for the body. I knew her and her friends. I work in a facility where they try to protect them in lock down. Human trafficking here-higher numbers than Covid !
Exactly and the guy interviewing her go's well good luck, wtf, i though he was going to get her help
@@diningroomfish5470 he is giving her help by showing this. photographers aren't generally wealthy people.
@@commanderrussels2612 He could do more with what he got from Go found me. I just hope hes not a scammer that pray on other people missery.
The awareness this woman holds is a relief. She is smart and aware of her trauma. Keeping Selena in my prayers that she finds her way.
Me to 🙏🏽
Those will guide you to where you need to be, they may be gone from sight but will guide her forever in her heart.
All this waisted energy is exactly why she is stuck and solutions are missing from all involved, her the video maker you the viewership.

Heartbreaking. I've seen this interview a few times. And sometimes during my day I find myself thinking of this young woman.
Its 2023. I hope shes ok.
I was wondering the same. My Heart hurts for her.
My heart breaks into a million pieces watching her narrate her story and how she doesn't like what's happening 💔💔💔. God bless you Selena
It's a sad thing whenever people feel like they must apologize for crying. There is nothing to apologize for. People owe YOU an apology. So many people.
Well said
I agree^ very well said.
❤️agreed
This right here! Damn.
Honestly!!!
WHEN WILL PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT CHILDREN DO NOT ASK TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE WORLD.
I feel like having a child is like having a pet these days. Unfortunately seen people care more about their pet then their own child. So sad
The cells in every living thing wait and wants to reproduce them self..so in essence all life wants to continue and re create.. instead of asking it's more like its waiting to happen...
Yeah having a child is one of the most selfish things you can do in today’s world imo
Agreed. If you cannot take care of one it’s an act of cruelty to have children.
Every life is important, wether they are prostitutes, crack addicts, or whatever. That life is still valuable.
I would love to help guide her to a successful, safe life. She deserves to get off the streets, go to college, law school, become a criminal attorney. I envision so much potential of growth and success for her out of this dark path. I would love to see others like myself believe in her and help women like this get off the streets and use adversity to become the best versions of themselves.
Well then help her
Broken heart sucks for people being stuck in bad situations from a early childhood, prayers go out to her & her family 🙏🏽
Pretty sure this is supposed to be titled:
"Sex trafficking victim"-Selena
You deserve so much better than this in this life Selena. You can rise above this.
@@dimmak7414 doesn't change it😒...no matter what you name it.

@@juangonzales4650 the death penalty is wrong.
@@dimmak7414 well.... here in the real world....acknowledging someone's a victim and not in the game willfully...is pretty damn important.
If this was my daughter... I'd hope someone mentioned that she was being victimized.
But keep being mad about someone's concern and empathy my friend..... 👌
My thoughts exactly
There’s no way as a mother I would tell my daughter, “you can’t come back here, we don't know who you are?” My heart is aching for her as a woman and mother of two daughters.
after they sent her away for years and didnt even stay in touch with her. heart breaking.
You don’t know the context of the situation I would love to here from the “foster mom” someone who already had 4 kids and wanted to take another in there life. Stop trying to demonize the foster mom sicko
@@willjennings983 did you even listen ? She was abused by her foster family dude. From what I’ve gathered , most of the people on this channel who were in foster families were molested by them.
@@willjennings983 also , “sicko” ? She said nothing to warrant that. She’s being compassionate.
@@northhallbabe13it’s very weird that you side with the one that abuses drugs and prostitutes her body! Meanwhile that foster mom has taken multiple kids in her arms apparently sounds like a great person to me doing what most people aren’t willing to do. If anything you think people would be talking about her original parents and how they failed her! She’s a individual she makes her choices and there are consequences. She even asked to come home at one pint but the other kids said no. At one pint she had 17000 dollars and just hands it to the pimp
Any idea where she is now? I really hope she's found some peace and stability... Losing your mom is so hard. I relate so much to what she's feeling and my heart really goes out to her
Wow this was a touching one. I love that he just let her pour her heart out. Great interview.
I was on the same path as you. My mom on drugs... dad not around. I was homeless and started dancing. I did it for a few years and started doing dates. I finally found a way out and went to school. I graduate next semester from college ..... it’s one of the hardest things I have ever done but if I can do it so can you! I have faith in you.
🙏🏽🙌🏽
Big congratulations 🎈🎊🎉! U deserve it as u made it out the game.

She was a check to everyone in her life. No one ever saw past the $
For real 🤦🏽♀️ even the mother
Brittany very sad 😢 some people view it that way. Lord help us all
@@MalvisPadronxclusivemimi625 deadass. That breaks my heart
Worst part is if people are confronted about that truth, they'll NEVER admit it. Ugly people in this world deserve NO mercy.
Just an observation from watching this series: why is our first reaction to apologise when we start crying in front of someone else?
I guess we are all taught on some level that being vulnerable is embarrassing or showing weakness. It's sad.
Seems like Selena has had almost nobody there to just be nice to her and want nothing in return, even her family. What a brutal way to grow up. Someone give this woman a hug and tell her that she's stronger and more valuable than all the people who took advantage of her.
Exactly! Why so many people feel like apologizing for crying? It is so sad! Repressing conflicting emotions never takes to any good path. The body carries the burden of repression/suppression. At some point, it explodes somewhere like a pressure cooker. This young woman had to suppress so much.... It is so understandable how she needs to vent her emotions. She has been so brutalized her own life! She needs a break, she needs a life without pain. All my respect for her! She is amazingly kind, intelligent. Many people say that one cannot give what one never had. This young woman never felt loved. Still, she is such a giving individual. There is something about her that is innate. How beautiful!
I distinctly remember being on the playground in 2nd or 3rd grade, and realizing “oh shit…. Okay so showing vulnerability seems to turn people away, and it’s like ringing a dinner bell for bullies, best to lie and hide how you actually feel.”
I still struggle with that shit. The voice that says “no one cares about your misery, they have their own, it isn’t right to impose.”
Throughout history social groups rarely encourage crying, (I can’t think of any that did, but I assume at some point in human history there must’ve been). Must be an evolutionary thing🤷🏻♂️.
Because we are vulnerable for these sick people that want to hurt us. So we hide our emotions.
It’s interesting about how we feel about crying and apologising.
My Father use to shame me and my siblings as children.
He would put a mirror in front of us and say how ugly we looked and also sing this song called poor cock robin a dying bird.
My Ex husband use to tease me for crying.
I eventually stopped crying altogether.
Therapy fixed it.
Now I’ll cry and don’t care if people seee it.
I learned early on as a therapist to keep from instantly handing out the box of tissues. It subtly sends a message to the client to stop crying. If you're at that point in the relationship, letting them feel vulnerable and exposed in that moment can be exactly what they may need.
damn this channel has definitely given me a new perspective of life. these stories really make me grateful of my life.
This girl is beyond gorgeous, inside and out. She’s so young and has so much potential. I hope she gets out of this 😞
She is too damn cute !! If I could get ahold of here I’d help get her straight
She needs a mentor or a good Friend to help guide her she's just a baby. She has been threw a lot pain where she's been since very young. God bless her I hope someone reaches out to her Amen
You resemble each other
@@anthonyantonio Amen
She looks like Selena Gomez
I will literally pay for this girl to go to a good rehab. She deserves healing.
After the rehab, then what she still has no place to go, she will be back on the streets and back on the drugs
She was in therapy for like two years. She needs to want it for herself
@@diningroomfish5470
You don’t know that for sure.
@@diningroomfish5470 when you're released from rehab they connect you with resources and help with housing /,sober living homes, employment, etc.
Same
I felt this, mija. I have 2 daughter’s that have passed away 19&30 yrs old and two older.
My ex-husband and a surviving daughter didn’t put me on my daughter’s obituary either. But, I raised them. There’s more to the story. I didn’t deserve anything served me like you don’t, either. Reach out🙏🏼
I’m still listening, this interview is really breaking my heart. I get EXACTLY what she is feeling. Too much, so!
Where is she, now?
How can she be contacted?
I'm sure your ex-husband and surviving daughter had a good reason for not putting your name on the Obituary.I would love to hear their side of the story.
You can tell she’s got such a pure soul, and was so terribly treated. I’m sure she didn’t ever let any law enforcement know what was going on (not like they would help, I’m sure some would but most would have a disregard for someone “prostituting herself”). It’s frustrating that she has to admit what’s happening for any action to be taken in a very clear domestic violence and trafficking case. We all know why victims of abuse don’t speak up. So why does the law allow so many abusers get away with so many disgusting acts of violence? Millions of beautiful people slip through the cracks everyday, and I just hope she can find her way out & peace in this life
You don’t belong on the streets babygirl. You shine too bright for those people. Don’t let them keep you down. You are gonna be something special. Don’t settle.
Amen.
Yes!
I hope she can read your comment because that touched my heart, and you are so right, she shines to bright for those people that are trying to bring her down.
@Jessica Hartfield Wow. That's awful to say.
@Jessica Hartfield You can be honest without being mean. This baby has had enough horribleness in her life. Try being nice, it's not that hard.
Damn she blames herself for all the f up shit that happen to her......her love for her moms is crazy after she abandoned her..she got a big heart....hopefully she doing better man
100%
Selena! My heart broke listening to your story. I wish I could just give you a hug and tell you that you are worth so much more than what you’ve been led to believe. You don’t know any of us on here, but look! All these women are telling you that you can get thru it!! Be strong and keep holding on 🧡💜
This is the best one I've seen in ages. What a shame 20 yrs old, she's barely started her life.i really hope she gets the help and it's not just someone trying to get something for themselves. I wish I could help her . Love from Scotland xx
It bothers me greatly that that same family that caused her traumas as a child are telling her she needs help (for what they caused). She’s so aware of what she needs to fix but needs to also realize they were initially apart of the problem. That’s not family...
I feel the same way smh
A lot of families are exactly like that
Mine was like this it toke me until last year to realize they just want money from me and everything I went though was my fault she a good girl I hope she’s ok I hate seeing shit like this so much
@@shaheempurify8737 Hopefully she comes to the same realization you did! I feel greatly for her!
I agree. She was abused but they made her feel guilty. Now they outcast her? This hurts to watch
I have never wanted to save someone so bad. I want her to win! She needs healing
Yesss!
I know
My thoughts exactly!
Exactly my thoughts. Where is she. She needs help and guidance. a big sister
Right
It totally amazes me how much she loves her mom, sister, family even though they haven't been there for her or much less return the love, sacrifice, hardships, horrible daily routines she has had to endure. I wish her blessings, if she has a go fund acct. I will donate.
Def broke my heart even more where she said, “if I get out this I have to face that fact that I don’t really don’t have a mom anymore” that’s very very sad. I’m crying 😫🥺 sending much love to this girl, god bless her pour broken soul. XO 💋
Mark, please help her find different resources to get her on her feet. She's ALONE, young, & loss.
PLEASEEEE
As many young woman her age are ...
YES
I can imagine Mark has a list of resources with phone numbers / resources. If not, many social services agencies have a directory that they hand out. It's a start-
@Jordan Spencer honestly I don't even know how to do that or else I would. That's why I asked Mark to please help her in that way. She has her whole life ahead of her & needs assistance to get her on the right track
Girl if you see this DON'T go to any pimps. Get a bank account, go to a women's shelter, get some resources, ask Mark for help! Anything besides going back to these pimps and giving them your money. Put your money in a bank account so you don't always have cash on you that can be taken. Sending you love and healing. ♡
How can you tell a guy is a pimp? How do you know to stay away from them if you don't know what signs to look for?
@@mintycocoa2637 She knows now after going through it. Right now would be the time to avoid dating, pimps, or any relationships that are romantic with men in general, she needs to focus on straightening her own life out without someone else distracting or controlling her. She obviously has a lot of trauma from what she's been through.
@@mintycocoa2637 they always dress fresh and act like they have money. They want you to "join their team" or they will help you be who you are supposed to be. They play on any info you tell them to make it seem hopeless and dangerous even, so they can "take you away from that life"-- and lead you to another horrible life--
Im pro sex work and if these women were not criminalized then pimps would not exist. They actually have no power. They live off of and pray off of the fear they instill in the girls.
@@mintycocoa2637 anyone who asks you to go out and sale your body, give them something in exchange for something you need. Is not trying to help you but help themselves. She needs a bank account. At a young age we are taught to open one. However she left so young she was never taught. Put your money in a account that collects interest. Get a job as a server or something, rent a place to live. Then save save save and create goals.
Not so easy. Does she have an address? No. ID? Presumably lost, jumping from home to boarding school to pimp. Can you just walk into a bank and deposit cash without proving where it came from? There are many obstacles. But I agree that she need to find ANY resource to women in trouble and not give up.
My heart goes out to you, Selena. You are beautiful, strong, smart and beautiful and you have so much potential. You are so loved, cared for and there are good ppl if you need the resources. Thank you for sharing your story and it’s good to cry and let it out from time to time. My heart and prayers are all with you! 100%
I Hope for the best for her. This interview in particular from the entire series of this UA-cam channel really touched my heart. She lived a lifetime of grief in such a young age. I hope to god she makes it out and finds herself again!
if her mom didn't abandon her, half this stuff wouldn't have happened to her. These stories are so common, adoption agencies really don't do their job sending ppl to bad homes.
Exactly, I had my child taken away over Marijauna in my hair.
A lot of people adopt just so they can get that government money
@@barbaralynnjoy3840 stop lying Yu had crack in your hair...stop the B's Yu tested positive for Cocaine
Bull shit, life is 10% what happens to you 90% how you deal with it. She made her own choices
@@cnotes1790 That’s not how life works deary, when your day comes and it will you will understand more, be it this lifetime or the next.
I relate to this girl so much, my mom wasn’t around and my father is an addict and was homeless. I put myself in foster care at 17 and graduated high school. Then, I got kicked out of my foster home and was homeless for a year in la and OC area. I started doing dates and it was the hardest thing in my life and I would take molly and e pills to numb my issues. Now, I live in San Diego and I work as a document specialist at 21 years old and I will be graduating as a Paralegal early next year. Then, I will be eventually applying to law School. I was there before and that shit is horrible. I pray for you Selena. Keep that mentality, don’t ever let no other human control your path. Do the things that you know is good for you and believe in yourself, please believe in that better life on the other side. It will come, I promise❤️
Sending you great vibes ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Queen, glad you made it💜
Update???
You are strong,many get lost.
Praise God!
Wow! Thank you for doing this!! You give these people hope. I love how you counsel them and encourage them to get out and tell them they can do it! Thank you!
You can tell she’s tired. Poor girl. Sending all the love snd support ❤️
When she says “died on me” it shows the real deep pain and trauma she’s experienced. Also, the abandonment she experienced throughout her life. Praying for you beautiful.
That’s crazy becus SOON as she said that I clicked on the comments and saw your comment smh 😔
I caught that too. Beautiful girl. I wish I could tell her that.
been there. fuck the lifestyle man :(
Is anyone wondering what the hell she did to her sister's kids?
@@blacksilverchair3315
When you have experienced a certain amount of trauma...... you are unable to make a choice anymore.
You are a slave to whatever takes away the pain
Only Jesus can heal you at this point
Which he stands waiting
This poor girl was completely failed by her adoptive mother.
She didn’t care from Day 1.
Exactly !!!
She was failed by a lot of people starting with her mother and grandparents 😔
She don't feel that way so there should you obviously her Mother Care by putting her in a treatment facility when she decide to do her own thing
Exactly I never understand why adopt you know your mission isn’t to save or change a life just ruined this child’s life when she could of been given to a good family
Nope I can relate
This helps me thank you for showing me I’m not the only one going thru this beautiful struggle
This one touched my heart. Selena, you are loved by so many people around the world. I know love is just a word, but my heart truly goes out to you. My condolences to the loss of your mother and friend. I have a daughter named Athena and she is my world. Only one year old and I will love and protect her fiercely with God’s will because I know that’s what kind of care you needed and so many other young women in your position. You do have someone to prove something to - look in the mirror. Because YOU are worthy and deserve joy, love, respect, peace and happiness. Praying for you girl. ❤
She didn’t want to leave the interview. She felt free and safe you can just feel it. Positive vibrations sent her way. This one really dug deep into me I genuinely want the best for her. She’s going to be somebody very influential one day I can just feel it. Her strength and ambition is unmeasurable.
worded so perfectly yes! sending lots of love and light her way🥺
She so pretty to...I hate to see shit like this. I wanted to hug her the whole time.
All the positive vibrations you send her will do wonders. You’re a real gift to humanity. If only there were more women as giving, intelligent, and strong willed. Positive fucking vibrations my g-d. Sickening you think you’re a good person while doing NOTHING.
Positive vibrations lol. Unbelievable.
@Rachel Black you sound like you need positive vibrations sent your way. Be humble. You too can end up on an interview just like this one day. Be careful how you speak about people. I hope that you can find happiness within yourself one day so that you don’t feel the need to be ugly over a keyboard. Take care!

She's a child still. 20 years old?? She's a baby. OMG her family is awful and she still wants them.
You don’t know what she did. Sounded to me like she was abusing her siblings
@KingJames Version239 I agree, most people are just too lazy to examine the information presented to them and drawing an honest conclusion without letting their emotions cloud their judgement. As you said, these druggies and street walkers are expert manipulators and they love to project and make excuses. You have to really pay attention to the facts to discern the truth from the lies. Not everybody’s got time for that loool but I do. I’m glad you’re like that too and I salute you. Men like us are in the minority. Peace and Blessings to you king 🙏🏾
Bro I’m 21 and I’ve experienced some shit and I completely hold it together like her I feel her vibe 100% this is crazy fr fr fr I understand
She 20 year old woman.. stfu
I enjoyed every minute of this. I truly hope we have a part. Two. I can watch her forever
She’s absolutely beautiful, you can tell she just needed to vent and that she doesn’t get a chance to open up.. she definitely has a genuine heart !
She is real and I like her. She not whining nor making excuses. She just need a chance and someone to really love and be patient with her.
Foreal! She just needs the right people to support her
I agree. She's so young, she is still very in touch with her feelings. She needs a genuine uncondional support system.
How can we reach out and try to help her?
She needs a man that will heal her soul, love, praise, cherish and worship her
I think she's super sexy.
The best and most freeing thing my therapist ever said to me was "Your mother doesn't love you". Selena- your foster mother didn't love you. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you will be able to process it, realize your worth, and have healthy relationships. She used her foster kids for money and didn't care about your well-being, then she wanted to use you as a caretaker. She manipulated a child's need for a mother to gain a source of income and a servant. That isn't love. Further, your family gaslit you to believe that their neglect was your fault. None of it was ever your fault. You did and DO deserve more. You deserved a mother, but you can mother yourself as you are INCREDIBLY STRONG. You can have your own family someday- I see you being a great mother. You are intelligent- do what you need to do, get a degree (even an associate's) you can use, and start your own family
Love this comment ❤️
@Elizabeth Grant writing it down.
She is so intelligent, strong and has such a good heart. I pray she can reconnect with her family. She has so much to offer to this world and is still young enough to make that change.
this girl has so much pain, and has been trained by these men and lifestyle to not cry or feel. you can see her literally fighting her feelings and tears every time she starts to get emotional. she needs to run far far away and start over. babygirl you gotta face it one day.. you’re too special.
This comment section made me cry. So many good people in the world wanting to help her. She reminds me of my sister so much. I hope with all of my heart she finds her way into loving arms and gets the help she deserves.
Lol
@26 most people only offer help because this girl is good looking, have you seen the comments on people who are not as good looking
Lol
its so sad how she loves her mom regardless. That just comes to show how gentle her heart is. Save this girl at all cost !!!!!!
Great comment.. last part though.. sick of seeing protect and save so and so.. it inspiring you can see her potential, but the save and protect shit is lame and I’m seeing everywhere at this point and I mean EVERYWHERE.. people see morals and values in people and they jump to say save and protect.. more like wow, even through everything this person has endured they still show signs of their values.
Her voice is also so low pitched and gentle ,she is so lovely with great skin .
She don't wanna be saved- J. Cole
Save her? Her mind will still run back to that piece of shit. They always do
This girl is so incredibly beautiful and smart and deserves so much more. You can tell she has a good heart ❤️ I hope somehow she finds better she’s so young and has gone through too much 😭 she’s so pure this one hurts. It’s so hurtful the amount of times she mentions family, it’s all she wants and somehow that’s so hard to ask for.
Poor kid, she seems so sweet. I’m sorry she went through such abuse. I hope things get better for her.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, in this woman’s life failed her. I know there are clear villains in your story, Selena, but there are people who don’t deserve the effort you’re putting into building a relationship back up with. You deserve to be able to live a stable, safe and happy life. I wish you nothing but healing from now on.
She also has made her own choices, nobody has forced her to do drugs and date pimps. She could stop this instant but is not willing to.
No so. Her family has tried. She has failed to tell you what her mother went through. She ran a muck doing what SHE wants to do. She did it her way. Her upbringing was not what she said it was. She dresses her story to how she wants you to see it. Her mother helped a whole lot more than she claims. Believe me.
@@jerseygirl07105 do you know her?
@@jerseygirl07105 do you?
@@jerseygirl07105 I agree everybody’s trying to demonize the foster parent that opened her up to her family of FOUR. I don’t believe this girls words I believe her pain and i pray for her. That’s all we can do.
She has a deep sadness behind her eyes. I hope she gets out and finds her worth.
I agree
Amen to this!! She is soooooo YOUNG😥😥. I wonder if someone gave her a chance at a different life if she would take it and get away from that world for good?? Ya know?😔😔. I have 3 daughters and this broke my heart💔💔💔.
WOW, PERFECT 👌 TAKE BECAUSE I SEE THAT TOO
Yeah the first thing I said was she looks very sad
Was gonna post this, she's just so sad. Right off the bat you can see how upset and depressed she is in general. Her looks have nothing to do with this video but she's such a sweet and pretty girl, charming too, she could do or be anything if she wanted to. Very sad story and again such a poor girl.
My heart goes out to her. I pray that she finds happiness and peace. She deserves to know what love really is.
I watched every second of this! I’m hoping for an update 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
She was trafficked into this lifestyle, she was forced to believe it was a choice she made because that’s the only way she could continue living through it... Everyone has failed her so far, please help her! She is unbelievably strong and powerful and I really hope that one day she gets to see that for herself. Incredibly beautiful inside and out.
Agreed!!💕
I agree with this statement.
So true she’s so brave to be here sharing her life and her hurt and pain . So sad Selena needs serious support because I really believe she wants to do the right thing ☹️
she's a hustler. she wasn't trafficked. she made those choices.
@@gregoryillinivich5328 yep, she did that asap at 18 before she graduated from the UTah program & missed the opportunity to get proper life skills from it before heading to the cruel world of easy $ & rough lifestyle that she’s not ready for.
This girl is as sweet as pie. She just needs to move and start over. California is the worst place to try to get your life together because it's hard out there.
Whadda u mean?
Plenty successful Ho's in Cali.
She's just wacked on pills and is incoherent.
Clean up your act a little and she'll get that big , high end money.
She's at least $250 an hour if she plays it right.
She's worth way more than any amount of money.

Im literally crying and i dont cry easily! I pray she finds her way, genuine good people and the healing she desperately needs!!!! Pkease fo an update soon!
She's so sweet and innocent yet so broken , this is so eye opening
Can a group of us get together and try to help this girl out??? She is a lost soul, but definitely looking to be saved, and loved in a non-abusive way!! Who’s in????
I found her friend athenas fb page
I'm in!!!!!!
Athena ... what? What's her last name?
I'm in.
I’m in !!
Damn man, here I am sitting at home with my family, with no worries and there’s people like her out there really fighting some real world shit. Soft White Underbelly always brings me down to reality and pops the little bubble I live in. I pray the Most High brings peace to her and everyone out there struggling and fighting all these battles. 💙
Same here.. This was hard to watch and I'm doing this before bed.
Me too..☹️😔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💌🌈🌄🌹
You are not only the Diane Arbus of our day, l would love to see you portraits, but you are the best counsellor with your experience and the non clinical ability to lead your subjects. Thank you.
I watched so many of Mark’s videos but this one gets to me. I feel sad and getting watery eyes listening to her. I’m adopted too. But I was lucky. My adopted parents are really good people. I went from foster home to home to finally living in the Palisades in Southern California. My mom alway believing me until I disobey her and got pregnant. She gave me a choice, have an abortion, I wouldn’t do that. Eventually, it got to the point she knows I’m too far alone. Now she wanted me to give my son up for adoption after he is born to one of her wealthy friends or be completely on my own. I refused. She Throw me out at 8 months pregnant. I’ve been on my own since. It’s such a long store. My point is I know it’s hard, I never once thought about prostitution. I just couldn’t nor do I have anyone bad around me. Maybe I’m lucky . God was watching over me.
Selena, you are beautiful and sweet. Get out of this business. Don’t let anyone used you. You are worth something. You can do it. Leave those bad guys. Don’t give up. Please!! you don’t need to sell yourself. I’ll be thinking of you.
sad to hear your story. Its good you choose the right path. As you say God was with you.
I broke into tears while watching this. I really complain a lot about my parents not letting me do "whatever I want". Sometimes I take it all for granted (the education they've given me, the effort they make to keep me under a roof, feed me everyday, take me wherever I need, etc) but having caring parents is such a privilege and I just realized that I don't appreciate it as much as I should. I hope she finds her way and stays away from the path she took years ago. She deserves so much better.
Me too 🥺 i was trying to find her IG i can tell she’s so Genuine
I cried too.Shes beautiful and smart and so young, and I truly hope she gets out of the "Game" & gets well.
This comment right here, you're 100% right. Sometimes I take for granted how blessed I am with my parents and my whole family in general that I never had to experience things like this. Thank you for commenting, definitely humbled me hearing this sweet girls story.
ya so true i complain too and see these and it’s so sad and i feel bad for ever complaining
She needs a strong female to take her under her wing and guide her into womanhood and independence. I feel for her on a deep level, she’s too scared to express her true sadness as she’s trying to keep her head above water every day. I can’t imagine, I hope she’s finds a way out somehow. She just wanted to her her mother even after her mother abandoned her.
She needs YOU!
I know how we can find her !! She said her best friend passed away in November her name was Athena search up longliveathena and contact her mom so we can help this girl !!! Please spread the word so we can help this girl 🙏🏽🥺
Please let me know how I can help I was once in her shoes

@@michellepena9702 you Will not help her just continuar talk shit online
This one is gonna make it out. She's smart and strong...and young. Great Interview. This channel is a treasure.
I can relate about her missing her mom..
What a nice girl, and so sad, hope she finds happiness..
This one really hit me. Her pain, the abandonment, the loss of her mom, the feeling of being lost and stuck, it’s like we stepped right into her life for a moment. I’ve lost a parent, and it left me feeling like an orphan (even tho I’m grown). When she said “I have to deal with the fact that I really don’t have a mom anymore” I felt that. She has all the potential to have the life she wants and deserves. I pray she finds her way out. She deserves happiness.
and she's only 20 :( been in basically prison 4 years "group home, or boarding school" 15-18 and now she's 20 and has to figure it out, to go back to family they wanna put her away for another year. just tragic we love you Nina AS your mom would call you. stay up mama. we are all rooting for you. look at all these comments and supporters xoxoxo . love n light ! blessings be to you.
No matter how hopeless a situation may seem, there's always a way out.
That poor sweet little baby. Smh. This is why people shouldn't have kids if they can't take of them. Her whole life would've been different if she just had a good loving parent. Breaks my heart. She desperately just wanted to go home and her so called mother didnt even help. Just sad!
That's life, I guess.. not her fault, but what can she do?
I agree. It hurts my heart for her. She seems like a sweet young lady. Very smart and very pretty.
@@Morgan.iiiviix I didnt say it was her fault. What are you talking about?
@@cessieabe2 you're so right 😞
@Don'tGetMeCensoredBcuz Ur weak She never had a chance to grow and develop mentally in a safe and secure environment. That's why everyone was able to take advantage. Poor baby
She’s breaking my heart. I’m crying with her & praying her trauma is healed & she recovers 🙏🏼💔😢
That's heart wrenching, I hope she finds peace & can have a normal stable life
the extent some dudes go with manipulation blows my mind, it's truly fucked & wicked
YESSSS man I totally agree.
Yep
I know right! They're poor excuses of men. A man should support his damn self and carry his own weight! And not lean on a woman to protect and provide for him!
This has nothing to do with that. This is about her and her severe problems, you're distracting and enabling her. She is not innocent and if and when she gets help, those losers will have no power over her.
Yeah the pimp was using her mom as a way to manipulate her
RUN!!! This poor girl. I'm sure people would sponsor her to get her out of there, in school, and on the road to her dreams. She is beautiful, intelligent, resourceful, and resilient. Please run. God I hope she makes it out.
You know almost all sex workers have this exact trama. Ugly
@@beyrutphl I can't imagine. That's awful.
If anyone has her contact info please let me know. I would hire her for my business in organic herbs. I can also be reached on insta @ alkalineluxe
Sweet lady. Traumatized throughout life by bad people and outcasted by her family drowns her into sorrow. She is a strong woman. Respectable. Despite her misfortune she keeps pushing and holds onto the hope to rekindle her family relationship.
Please tell me that this channel tried to help these girls. Did you take them to get help? There are resources available. How could anyone let them just walk back out to the streets after hearing all of this?! They're all such beautiful people, on the inside and out, no matter what they've done or that's happened to them. My heart just breaks for all of them. You are all worth so much more!!!
