Was anyone else really annoyed when that woman kept trying to push more sweets on the girl while mom kept saying "no, just the one". "Oh but it is almost Christmas", "can she take some more home?". The mother said no, it's a no. Of ALL places to understand that this girl doesn't need any more sweets and respect the mother, the physician's office should be that place.
@l p BECAUSE HE HAS PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME. i get it, hes annoying, hes rude and ALL of that BUT he has a genetic disability. it isnt about being enabled and or spoiled. he is mentally and physically unable to control it. this isnt even the "addiction is a disease" argument (which the sicence isnt 100%) this is a true genetic disability. google it. read. educate yourself.
Katie is so blessed to have her father. He fully understand her disease and he knows exactly what will happened if he can't control her weight. He does everything to keep his daughter alive. So amazing man.
As a parent of young kids, I’m overwhelmed by how intelligent and persevering he is. Truly amazing. (but I have a conflict within what if he allowed her to enjoy foods without limitation? How about her dignity to live on her own way despite the life span?)
Once the mother said "only one" she should have taken the hint but she continued to argue with the mom which is when I had a problem with her continuing to offer treats.
F. Moussa already told you, there are institutions for that. They should have called social services and said that they're afraid for their lives. There are mental institutions specializing in this disorder and their son could live there, instead of trying to eat himself to death at home.
I believe it is the government that is contributing to this mans issues. Why are they giving him money to spend as he pleases? Don't they realize he has a serious issue?
I really wanna give a big hug the Indian mom she looks so sad, imagine having your kid blame you for a genetic condition as a mother you would feel responsible and guilty
@@BeckBeckGoactually that is likely not true. I grew up with a girl with PWS and our families were very close. People with PWS can gain weight on as little as 600 calories a day. It’s easier for parents to control as a child, but as they grow up and gain some independence, they can’t be watched constantly. That’s when they can eat in secret, and is so much harder to control x
@@BeckBeckGo Her limit is 900 calories a day. She has plenty of time to 'cheat', as her father says, and he can't watch her 24 hours a day. Especially when both of them work full-time.
I was thinking that too...he might be dangerous to his family with his attitude like that...i think it's not a crime if he wud be locked up for his own health benefits as well as his for his family...
I think this, too. The first look at him shows the pure violence in his eyes - this has nothing to do with his PWS = THIS GUY IS VERY DANGEROUS !!! His family would not have a single chance to escape from him, if he'll attack them ... for sure his mum says he needs love - but sometimes love should be tough ... poor family !!
You are right - but nevertheless he seems to be very very violent and dangerous ... for sure it's the family who has to deal with this > but I am scared !! I hope they find a way to be safe ...
PWS or not, Sachin is abusive towards his family. While special considerations should be made for people with disabilities on a case by case basis, abuse is still abuse, and is never okay. The family should not have to deal with that, and the boy needs to be sent to a faculty where he can learn proper behavior.
I agree but the thing is, what if he can't be controlled? He's abusive when he doesn't get his own way and when he's "normal". I'm not an expert but I think you can't control his behaviour. It's too dangerous.
South Asians see care homes as basially throwing away their family and family is part of their culture. Also, that culture is known for caring for their elderly.
I met a mom with 11 year twins with PWS. We were hiking in Hawaii and gave them a short ride to the trail. The mom kept her daughters ACTIVE swimming and hiking to help combat the negative effects of the disorder. She was a lovely mom with difficult conditions
I don’t like how you’ve emphasised active as if that’s the cure. Most of them have low muscle tone and can’t do much, they also are uncontrollably hungry 24/7, they cannot ever control themselves around food and see non-edible items out of hunger. It’s a lot more complicated.
I was in a special ED program with someone with Prader Willis Syndrome (I have Autism+Adhd). She did a lot of crafting when she wasn't at her program assigned job. We'd often ride home together. She was one of the kindest people I have ever gotten the pleasure of knowing. She moved on to a different program for older young adults while I stayed in my current program and am now in the process of starting college. I still think about her some times, and this documentary reminded me of her.
Rebeccas Mom needs to remove all junk food and sweets in the house for the sake of the whole family and not just Rebecca. I really give Kate props. I just want to give her a hug. She is really doing what she can to manage herself. I think Kate should join a sport or class to get more exercising and socializing in. Kate is in such a good spirit for having a disorder that makes it hard to deal with yourself.
I agree. Shes eleven and even if she has disabilities she can Express herself and feel emotional. I am the same way only with high functioning autism and I'm given social places to go. And a place to work at a daycare. When people say that I can't feel sad or angry, they are wrong. Some of us don't want to have what we have but we live with it.
She isn't managing herself when she's put on three stones in ten months and can't go 24 hours where her food is controlled. She's fooled herself into believing she can control it, when she clearly cant. She'll continue to gain until she's forced into a home where her food is controlled. Life isn't fair but that's how it goes.
If you know she already has so many issues, why make it worse by having things like soda and chips in the house? Why not only have water to drink and only healthy snacks? It's A LOT harder to get way too many calories when all you have is carrots and celery than if you have soda and chips and cookies....
They will turn to shoplifting. They won't steal anything of value but they will steal soda and food. You could fill the house with water and fruit and veggies but if they want a hamburger they will get it somehow.
It's a condition. They have anger issues ( tantrums? Correct me if it's wrong, I'm still learning English) And the behavior of a child no matter their age. They are often rude, abusive etc. just to get what they want. Even if they are hospitalized and they have a ''no'' for a year or even 20 years the day they get out they will get whatever they want. Katy is indeed the one with manners probably because no matter what she does she still gets what she wants. She learned that by behaving nice and polite she will get what she craves.
I feel bad for Katie she's an angel and all she wants is to be independent and to have children and a normal life she's so precious she and she's trying so hard
Trying hard? She's eating rabbit food when anyone's watching, and stuffing her face with muffins and chocolate bars when she's alone, and can't even go for 24 hours without snacks when she's in a care home. That's not trying, that's delusion.
Gonken88 when i first saw your comment i just thought you were hateful. but i’ve rewatched this video multiple times & i kinda have to agree. she’s all sweet & nice as long as she’s getting her way. and the scene with tamara really opened my eyes, that proved that some people can acknowledge that they have a problem and simply can’t live independently. couldn’t be katie tho.
@@emranuhodzic2448 Yes that's right she is nice and sweet as long as she does get her own way with food. Her behaviour in the home proves as her behaviour changes nasty when thay tell her no more food and at the bowling she was so nasty kicking of at everyone right.
Katie is an amazing positive young lady, she is aware of how her condition affects her and tries so hard to stick to her food plan. It’s inevitable that she slips from time to time though sadly.
9:08 I’m astounded by the nurse offering her sweets like that. How totally inappropriate. I was angry watching her try and coax the Mum into allowing more. 😡 😢
Bangity Bang how do you know she can’t care for herself also even if she can’t care for herself that does not mean she can’t care for a child but regardless it is NOT for her own good
azbass Of course it is. He really doesn't know how to handle his anger. He should realize he has a disability where he's hungry all the time and take control of it. He can see that his parents are doing all the best they can, I'm sure. He's just using his temper-tantrums to get his way.
Purple Nurple i agree, i think hes fully aware of his tactics and tantrums and uses it to his advantage. to premeditate sueing his mother clearly lets you know hes not clueless and hes very aware of his actions.
Poor Sachins Parents. Im sending them a hug for all their efforts and love. I know its not Sachins fault but he perhaps needs full time help. A very moving documentary😢.
@@Gonken88 And she just crys and screams cause thay won't give in to her demands. And gives her more food. She's lucky she can eat unlike other's like millions that are starving in Africa right.
@@marielewis2803 You do understand that Katie breaking down, crying and screaming like that is due to an underdeveloped mind and decreased cognitive function? Did you actually listen to the start of the documentary when the narrator was describing prada willi syndrome?
Special needs aside... the Indian boy needs to be given an ultimatum. Why should the family suffer because of one person's condition? It's not fair. It's life. Life is unfair. I feel for the families affected... and I feel for those with the illness.
Aarushi Sharma you don't understand do you? I live with an older sister who has this disorder and it's like hell. She takes my stuff away and never gives it back. I'm trying to be patient with her and make her realize her mistake but instead she acts like a child, jumping up and down. I understand she has this and I feel sorry for her but you have to understand that it is hard to have tolerance for these people. Emotional intelligence has nothing to do with this
youre honestly stronger than i am, i would want to distance myself and not want anything to do with this. I cant deal with it. The whole time all im thinking is these kids need a god damned good spanking and to do what theyre told
@@lisamcdonald1014solution implies cure. HGH can help because it keeps the muscles at a higher tone meaning that they don’t gain weight as easily (eg like Katie here who has a 900 calorie a day limit). It doesn’t help the constant hunger though.
Prestige Didlle. I don't feel bad for her at all she was horrible guide by her dad he let have too much freedom but now that you don't have it you can't go back it's the dad fault
Alex James--She actually can go into a special program...it's just going to be hard. She demonstrated that to a small degree when she visited the one. Her situation definitely was not the best for her, but it is such a difficult Syndrome to manage. Her parents need support too.
Ria for me it's the same but it's my metabolism I'm like a rocket engine when I eat I burn the energy very fast and within 2-3 hours I'm hungry again but here's the good thing about it I don't gain weight in fact I lose
Choir Fandom Cooking Rants and Random Channel did anyone ask you? Your comment is completely irrelevant to this entire topic about Katie's Dad. Good for you I guess but you may have a fast metabolism that's not always gonna last forever just make sure your getting appropriate nutrients and proper portions. If you don't then by the age of 35 your metabolism would've slowed and you become overweight or obese or you will suffer other issues internally.
Choir Fandom Cooking Rants and Random Channel not to mention your case of having a fast metabolism is normal for most people between the ages of 13-30 it's just a part of growing up. Most people's metabolisms at this age are very fast but for others it may be slower.
Honestly it's not murder if you just I dunno....accidentally leave the fridge unlocked. Katie isn't a bad girl because she gets to do whatever she wants without getting in trouble. I feel bad for her family, she is spoiled. Her parents allow her to eat whatever and when seeing her gain weight they just say "oh well". She is not used to having her food ACTUALLY controlled for her so when it actually came down to it when she went to that house, she became a brat. If her family controlled her diet properly she most likely would be exactly like the other two. The other two gets agressive when they don't get what they want and the guy's anger can't be controlled. He is abusive to his family and I have no trouble believing that he'd kill anyone who gets in his way. I'd just let those kids eat themselves to death. It's what they want soooo... (PWS is fascinating, I always watch if it comes in my recommendation. )
Rebecca is just a child, people shouldn’t be so harsh to her. She isn’t well educated, and she doesn’t understand things like another child. I also bet other children aren’t nice to her and that must be part of why she is so agressive. I feel really bad for her.
My heart goes out to Katie, she really is trying her best... what makes me smile about her is the fact she’s saying she wants a child and she is kinda living independently 🤗! Let’s hope u really could make a change !
I’m not sure about mentally defective people. However, for addicts who are mentally normal otherwise, this is a total cop out. There is no “a bad and a good you,” it’s all you. You did bad things, don’t blame them on a fictional other you. You have character flaws in you, regardless if you are high or not.
What it means is that sometimes the self discipline isn't there, and instead of admitting that, there are two of the same person. It's classical, typical denial.
I really hate how they paint Sachin's behavior as just PWS. It paints others with it as horrible people who cannot control their emotions at all. Literally threatening to SUE your mother for a genetic condition you were born with, putting hands on family, and the other verbal abuse can't be excused just because he's disabled. You can be disabled and still a narcissistic POS on the side.
I agree Sachin's behavior is wrong, but he likely doesn't have the mental capacity to evaluate right from wrong. He behaves that way because his family allows it and it gets him what he wants.
@@marywynne7931 he can clearly communicate and understand definitions of words as well as legal processes like suing. He's absolutely capable of evaluating his behavior and empathizing with others, he just doesn't want to because he is a bad person.
@atlaskat7980 The mental processes used to evaluate word definitions are far different from the ones used to empathize and regulate one's behavior. While I agree he should he held accountable for his behavior, consequences need to be swift and short-term. No point turning a mentally-disabled person into a career criminal.
Sachin is not the child they started with. He has turned into a crazed and dangerous man. He needs to be in an institution. I know he is their child, but there are limits, and family safety has to come ahead of his wants.
Yup he at least needs to be drugged up so he is more docile. He is a dangerous man with a short fuse and shows no empathy. Violence would come too easily for him and he wouldn’t have the ability to control it.
@@evolutionaryadvantage He cant be institutionalized until his parents give consent I agree that they should have him institutionalized because they cannot control him as much as they maybe could 15 years ago.
For those wondering, in August 2020 Sachin Vyas went missing, but was later found alive and safe by the police. He is now 41. This is the latest piece of information about him online.
Perhaps he just decided to leave and not tell his family. He doesn't treat his family well & it's sad to see how they live like prisoners in their own home.
That nurse should not be offering candy to Rebecca. And why on earth would she encourage Rebecca to take a lot. The nurse really did cross the line and disrespect the mother. How many times did the mother have to say, 'no, just one'...
9:56 I stopped at this exact moment to find a comment that was as equally annoyed by the nurse as i am. Why did she continue to undermine the mother like that. You shouod always check in with parents and respect their word. I also feel like she was being malicious with it bc she would have seen how big the girl was. To me she was saying like "i know you want more" and dangling it in front of her
41:32 that girl seems like a really sweet kind friend the way she tried to comfort Katie when she said “Everybody feels hungry” in a tone to try and let Katie know she’s not alone
I don’t hate Sachin and I truly wish him nothing but the best; he didn’t choose to have PW. With that said, I don’t think it’s safe for him to stay where he is. His parents and sister could be seriously hurt and that’s just no way to live.
I feel so so sad for Sachin's sister at 36:00. Imagine living with an older(?) brother so aggressive and blinded by his own self interest that your elderly parents can hardly cope and then have him turn on you too. She must feel so neglected poor thing.
34:25 Look at him. Hes siroiusly ill, and this is his answer. No benefits for that unacceptable behaviour. I have problems with my weight since childhood and if i do not change my behaviour the insurance company will not pay for the treatment associated with the treatment of my weight. I know he is ill, but he is basically killing himself. It might be drastic, but somone, even with force must change his behaviour. I know one man, who was close to death because of these problems. Sadly, this is boy is on the same way.
9:23 this behavior is highly inappropriate. Not only is the nurse trying to make mom out to be the bad guy, she is completely disregarding that giving sweets can be a detriment to Rebecca's health, and she's ignoring a clear boundary that was set. That's simply not acceptable from a healthcare provider.
900 calorie limit??? Holy crap. I couldn’t even do that. I love food. But at least Katie has some way to control it so she can live. That’s gotta be hard.
So you don't have anything constructive to say, just shut up lol? My comment is valid and there is nothing wrong with it. Katie is the one I feel the most sorry for, her parents tried to set her up to do the impossible and in the end they did the most damage to her because when she does end up in a place like Haddock House it will be more traumatic for her than many because she's been told her whole life she could do something nobody with PWS can. Now she thinks she has a strong willpower and in reality she has no more than the others. Yes, once she passed up the junk food and got her tea...but the other times she practically ate the wrapper off of her muffin and had a wafer biscuit with her lunch, and while those things seem insignificant for a lot of people, in a person with a 900 calorie a day max diet a 100 calorie cookie or a 300 calorie muffin is huge...and look at all the junk in her room...I'd love to see her dreams of being on her own come true, but she would die if she truly had any real freedom.
Jess B right? I DRINK that in wine calories some days. Lol. I feel terribly for these kids. It’s not their fault. It must tear their parents hearts out. You see that most of their parents are divorced. Probably too hard a situation to handle day in and day out while staying on the same page to the person they were married to. Sigh. My heart goes out to each of them
Hard to decide what's more heartbreaking...Katie holding on to hope so doggedly about living independently and beating this condition, or the beaten-down weariness and pain on the faces of Sachin's parents.
it's not a buffet, it's a restaurant with a salad bar. i get it but they probably did it bc its the only place they have half a chance of finishing a meal before she freaks out like she ultimately did bc she has food right away. since she's with other carers a few nights a week i personally think for the sake of the other kids and everyone else paying for a peaceful meal they should have gone while she was away but on the other hand she doesn't deserve complete isolation from family life...it's hard to know where to draw the line but with what the mother said had there not been a salad bar she wouldn't have waited for the food to be cooked let alone stood half a chance at letting the rest of her family eat even a bit of their meal. that whole night was done wrong though in my opinion. if they took her they should have brought her something to do like a hulk video game or given her fruit to eat after dinner so the others could finish and once she started yelling someone should have taken her to the car so everyone there didn't have their meal ruined by her loud screaming tantrum
What Itsa Secret said, but also I assumed so she would get "full" on the buffet and not rack up the bill in a non-buffet restaurant. This girl will cost her parents thousands in only 1 night if not more...she has no limit.
yea I really like her too! I felt really sorry for her because she couldn't really fulfill her dreams of living independently and having kids because of PWS. She has the mind of any healthy human being. Of working hard, earning and spending your own money and one day having a family!
does anyone have an update on her? I read somewhere in the UA-cam section an update about Rebecca. Her sister said she is 23 now and is in a home with other people who also have PWS and that she has lost weight and is doing well. I hope Katie is doing well too. She should be about 35 years now considering this episode was recorded in 2004
Tashai Small I am not horrible,the people that let these people eat so much food are horrible.Do you ever wonder how many animals are slaughtered a year for ONE of these fat people,a lot
I feel soooooooooooooooo bad for Katie. She's such a sweet person but she has to deal with such a hard disability. I hope that even if the disability prevents her to live on her own, that she will be able to curb her her eatting habits and live life to the full. :)
i feel so sad for her too, she said she wanted kids but because of PWS, ger dreams are shattered..... She is so sweet and she deserves everything she wants
Tamara (from the care home) seems to really understand what her situation is, Katie seems a nice person but she is insanely naive, also I cannot imagine how she would ever raise a child of her own if she can't even take care of herself.
She is not “insanely naive”. What a horrible and insensitive thing to say!! Did you not pay attention when they said PWS does not affect only hunger and weight?? It also affects intellectual and emotional development.
@@songbirds3712 it's the truth. She is Niave in the worst way possible. I came from special needs and eventually weened off medical care. Some people need hope. Her hope is not gonna happen in this life but hopefully God give her a better one.
Tamara has really grown. Her last appearance in a documentary, she did what she wanted, ate what she wanted, and wasn't the least bit concerned that she gained weight. Here, she understands her condition and knows she can't live independently and that she was close to dying.
Katie is, unfortunately, hopelessly naive in her delusion that "strong willpower" is all it takes. If she possessed ANY willpower and demonstrated it then she wouldn't have been sent to try out the home for PWS victims.
I could cry for sachins family. The poor mum. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to love your child and want to make them happy but knowing that what makes them happy is going to kill them. Combine that with the aggression and anger it must be unbearable.
@@90sbaby1 Maybe due to his intellectual disability he was held back or is kept at the high school. He has support staff that keeps an eye on him somewhat. It is similar in the US-I believe those with ID can stay in public schools until they are 21.
Katie pulls at my heartstrings. She seems like she's got a lot of heart, even if she has some struggles that seem to be getting the best of her. I hope she succeeds. Poor sweet girl.
Well it's 14 years later and the last doc featuring Katie shows a woman that has to be transported on a flatbed for cows if she's not rolling by her own to whatever place she's going. What I'm tryna say is she's fucken huuuuge. And I'm not fucken about. They should have forced her to stay in that pws home. Can't believe they let her feed her own delusions like that.
@@Phlip74 Reight and she ruined the bowling for everyone by screaming and yelling because she couldn't have something to eat until they got 'ome. It was like an hour after lunch nevermind 24 hours. She gets to go out on all these fun activities with the group to help forget about the hunger pains and she's basically just taking the piss rolling the bowling balls with no care and just fucks it all up instead of giving it a sincere try. That's called having a shithole attitude where I come from.
Sachin's attitude sucks. He is such a bully. His parents are advising him for his own benefit and in return they get threats and they are afraid of him. What a way to say thanks to people that loves and cares for you
Tabina, people with disabilities deserve a community inclusive life. Just because someone faces challenges in life, doesn't mean they deserve to be institutionalized. That's a cruel existence. I'm in Canada, and here the government funds shared homes for individuals with development disabilities (PW being one of them), so that once someone is an adult, they can live with trained workers in a shared home. They can remain part of the community, have daily workers to take them swimming, volunteering and other activities, even a little job somewhere, and the families get to have their lives back and see their kids in a relaxed way without the stress. Being disabled doesn't make them less worthy of a life with dignity.
@Becky Bloomer you're right, it is disgusting that the best part of you dripped down your mom's leg, yet she still chose to curse this world by bringing you into it.
So...if Rebecca has 2 nights a week away from home... WHY THE HECK DOESN'T THE FAMILY GO OUT TO DINNER ON THOSE NIGHTS?! Seriously. You have two nights a week where you don't have your child with PWS. A restaurant is not a good place for those with PWS. And obviously it's a whole ordeal to bring her. Two nights a week you could go out to dinner. Ugh. Sorry. Just hate when people are so thoughtless.
@@carmenolivia6589 I'd like to believe that. But the mom talks about how she "loves this place because she can get something to eat before the food comes." And they speak about her meltdown in the restaurant like it happens often enough that they're used to it. So while I'd like to think they did it for the cameras, it plain to see they're not doing what's best for Rebecca emotionally.

Sachin is terrifying. He is so big and overpowering that he can easily hurt someone. Even the sister said that if he were to kill his father, he would have no remorse.
He really needs some serious help and I don’t mean that in a detrimental way, it’s just not fair on his family and it really can’t be nice for him to just flip like that. He needs to be put into some form of home cos he can’t live with his family it’s just not fair, and he can’t live by himself cos he has no self control. He needs to live with professionals and get some help
Me too! She knows she's being filmed for something, she sees that Rebecca is already morbidly obese...what if Rebecca was diabetic and really couldn't have any? But I know how these shows work too and wonder if they told her to push a bit to make a point.
10 years ago I was on the same psychiatric ward with a young man with PW. He was just like Rebecca. I remember him constantly calling his mother, raging about not getting a sandwich, ect. He was constantly yelling at the staff about food. It was annoying, but of course he could not help it. I felt so sorry for him.
Katie’s parents are amazing, they seem to understand her condition better and they treat her like a person. Even when she mucks up, they don’t make a huge deal. I wish them all the best.
They don’t make a huge deal of it because she in incapable of learning how to resist. If she was left on her own she would eat herself to death….. she in incompetent in managing her condition and would never be independent
Gypsy Jena it's because shorter hair has easier maintenance for the caregiver and for the person who wants the independence of taking care of themselves in some way.
I have so much respect for Katie. She set goals for herself, and dreams, and actually tries to lose weight. I think it's so inspirational that she wants to be completely independent.
But the rest of these people need like a special clinic no fish and chips or crisps or chocolate my mum would be disappointed in me if I ever became like this
Why would Rebecca’s mother, knowing she has an issue with change to her routine, point out that the husband had gone a different route on their way anywhere??? That is like pouring gasoline on a fire. SMH.
She said that the camera crew made her say that along with the beached whale remark and her youngest daughter eating Pringle’s before they went out to dinner was also staged
@@ljmcdonald2703who's more important? Her daughter or the camera crew? I would never intentionally antagonize my disabled child for better viewing. Maybe mom is the one with mental problems.

I give Katie’s parents so much credit. Their remarkable co-parenting relationship and effort is what helped her be so smart and independent.
I’m not convinced that either parent understands how to live a low calorie lifestyle.
They’re clearly going well over their standard 2k a day.
@@BeckBeckGoactually that is likely not true. I grew up with a girl with PWS and our families were very close. People with PWS can gain weight on as little as 600 calories a day. It’s easier for parents to control as a child, but as they grow up and gain some independence, they can’t be watched constantly. That’s when they can eat in secret, and is so much harder to control x
@@BeckBeckGoyou have to consider stress and time. parents tend to look after others and neglect themselves
@@BeckBeckGo Ignorant comment.
@@BeckBeckGo Her limit is 900 calories a day. She has plenty of time to 'cheat', as her father says, and he can't watch her 24 hours a day. Especially when both of them work full-time.
Sachin needs to be taken out of that home for the safety of his own family. I’d be miserable if I had to live with him. He seems so damn nasty.
I was thinking that too...he might be dangerous to his family with his attitude like that...i think it's not a crime if he wud be locked up for his own health benefits as well as his for his family...
Hes out of control
I think this, too. The first look at him shows the pure violence in his eyes - this has nothing to do with his PWS = THIS GUY IS VERY DANGEROUS !!! His family would not have a single chance to escape from him, if he'll attack them ... for sure his mum says he needs love - but sometimes love should be tough ... poor family !!
You are right - but nevertheless he seems to be very very violent and dangerous ... for sure it's the family who has to deal with this > but I am scared !! I hope they find a way to be safe ...
@@phoenixskyblue4940ep and they have allowed these tantrums just like Rebecca's parents they could have taught them respect
PWS or not, Sachin is abusive towards his family. While special considerations should be made for people with disabilities on a case by case basis, abuse is still abuse, and is never okay. The family should not have to deal with that, and the boy needs to be sent to a faculty where he can learn proper behavior.
One month of tough boot camp into the wild
agreed
Goink01 before he kills someone! He is dangerous to his entire family
hi zoidberg
I agree but the thing is, what if he can't be controlled? He's abusive when he doesn't get his own way and when he's "normal". I'm not an expert but I think you can't control his behaviour. It's too dangerous.

I met a mom with 11 year twins with PWS. We were hiking in Hawaii and gave them a short ride to the trail. The mom kept her daughters ACTIVE swimming and hiking to help combat the negative effects of the disorder. She was a lovely mom with difficult conditions
both of them with PWS ?
@@yuedu1384 it makes sense, if they were identical twins what one has the other will have too.
sad 😢@@skyes7369
I don’t like how you’ve emphasised active as if that’s the cure. Most of them have low muscle tone and can’t do much, they also are uncontrollably hungry 24/7, they cannot ever control themselves around food and see non-edible items out of hunger. It’s a lot more complicated.
Most people with PWS have very poor muscle tone and coordination. These twins must have had some other ailment
Why in the hell would the nurse offer Rebecca sweets? Damn enabler.

I was in a special ED program with someone with Prader Willis Syndrome (I have Autism+Adhd). She did a lot of crafting when she wasn't at her program assigned job. We'd often ride home together. She was one of the kindest people I have ever gotten the pleasure of knowing. She moved on to a different program for older young adults while I stayed in my current program and am now in the process of starting college. I still think about her some times, and this documentary reminded me of her.
sweet
Rebeccas Mom needs to remove all junk food and sweets in the house for the sake of the whole family and not just Rebecca. I really give Kate props. I just want to give her a hug. She is really doing what she can to manage herself. I think Kate should join a sport or class to get more exercising and socializing in. Kate is in such a good spirit for having a disorder that makes it hard to deal with yourself.
I agree. Shes eleven and even if she has disabilities she can Express herself and feel emotional. I am the same way only with high functioning autism and I'm given social places to go. And a place to work at a daycare. When people say that I can't feel sad or angry, they are wrong. Some of us don't want to have what we have but we live with it.
@@autismadventures7686 true
I absolutely agree
She isn't managing herself when she's put on three stones in ten months and can't go 24 hours where her food is controlled. She's fooled herself into believing she can control it, when she clearly cant. She'll continue to gain until she's forced into a home where her food is controlled. Life isn't fair but that's how it goes.
@@JoJo-jk4jm I agree
If you know she already has so many issues, why make it worse by having things like soda and chips in the house? Why not only have water to drink and only healthy snacks? It's A LOT harder to get way too many calories when all you have is carrots and celery than if you have soda and chips and cookies....
They will turn to shoplifting. They won't steal anything of value but they will steal soda and food. You could fill the house with water and fruit and veggies but if they want a hamburger they will get it somehow.
Precisely and she's spoilt rotten too. Gets away with yelling at her too passive parents. She needs to be put in her place. Katy at least has manners.
totally agree. us kids used to get into the junk food, so the house only had fruit veg & water lol
It's a condition. They have anger issues ( tantrums? Correct me if it's wrong, I'm still learning English) And the behavior of a child no matter their age. They are often rude, abusive etc. just to get what they want. Even if they are hospitalized and they have a ''no'' for a year or even 20 years the day they get out they will get whatever they want. Katy is indeed the one with manners probably because no matter what she does she still gets what she wants. She learned that by behaving nice and polite she will get what she craves.
It's not about calories, its about her body not signaling her that she is full. she wouldn't get full even off of eating only that.
I feel bad for Katie she's an angel and all she wants is to be independent and to have children and a normal life she's so precious she and she's trying so hard
jodie she is so cute bless her
Trying hard? She's eating rabbit food when anyone's watching, and stuffing her face with muffins and chocolate bars when she's alone, and can't even go for 24 hours without snacks when she's in a care home. That's not trying, that's delusion.

There’s no known cure for Prader-Willi syndrome, but the solution to the problem is growth hormone injections
@@lisamcdonald1014solution implies cure. HGH can help because it keeps the muscles at a higher tone meaning that they don’t gain weight as easily (eg like Katie here who has a 900 calorie a day limit). It doesn’t help the constant hunger though.

Salty butter Gamez poor Katie 18 stone is 250lbs
Honestly it's not murder if you just I dunno....accidentally leave the fridge unlocked. Katie isn't a bad girl because she gets to do whatever she wants without getting in trouble. I feel bad for her family, she is spoiled. Her parents allow her to eat whatever and when seeing her gain weight they just say "oh well". She is not used to having her food ACTUALLY controlled for her so when it actually came down to it when she went to that house, she became a brat. If her family controlled her diet properly she most likely would be exactly like the other two. The other two gets agressive when they don't get what they want and the guy's anger can't be controlled. He is abusive to his family and I have no trouble believing that he'd kill anyone who gets in his way. I'd just let those kids eat themselves to death. It's what they want soooo...
(PWS is fascinating, I always watch if it comes in my recommendation. )
Rebecca is just a child, people shouldn’t be so harsh to her. She isn’t well educated, and she doesn’t understand things like another child. I also bet other children aren’t nice to her and that must be part of why she is so agressive. I feel really bad for her.
@kie Yes that's what it does turns them so nasty right.
Lord, I couldn't do it. What these parents do. Bless all of them.

She won't be able to have one or live independently. She'd be sent to a home once her parents c ant take care of her anymore.
Katie is really trying and she should be proud for it
It’s sad when Katie says “there is a good Katie and a bad Katie”
Being a recovering addict I know what she means
Lauren Malcom being a Gemini I know EXACTLY what she means.
I’m not sure about mentally defective people. However, for addicts who are mentally normal otherwise, this is a total cop out. There is no “a bad and a good you,” it’s all you. You did bad things, don’t blame them on a fictional other you. You have character flaws in you, regardless if you are high or not.

You can be disabled and still a narcissistic POS on the side.
I agree Sachin's behavior is wrong, but he likely doesn't have the mental capacity to evaluate right from wrong. He behaves that way because his family allows it and it gets him what he wants.

Exactly, especially his drinking. He needs behavior management or he will hurt them!!!
@@marywynne7931 he can clearly communicate and understand definitions of words as well as legal processes like suing. He's absolutely capable of evaluating his behavior and empathizing with others, he just doesn't want to because he is a bad person.
@atlaskat7980 The mental processes used to evaluate word definitions are far different from the ones used to empathize and regulate one's behavior. While I agree he should he held accountable for his behavior, consequences need to be swift and short-term. No point turning a mentally-disabled person into a career criminal.
Sachin is not the child they started with. He has turned into a crazed and dangerous man. He needs to be in an institution. I know he is their child, but there are limits, and family safety has to come ahead of his wants.

That nurse should not be offering candy to Rebecca. And why on earth would she encourage Rebecca to take a lot. The nurse really did cross the line and disrespect the mother. How many times did the mother have to say, 'no, just one'...

I have problems with my weight since childhood and if i do not change my behaviour the insurance company will not pay for the treatment associated with the treatment of my weight. I know he is ill, but he is basically killing himself. It might be drastic, but somone, even with force must change his behaviour. I know one man, who was close to death because of these problems. Sadly, this is boy is on the same way.
Unfortunately, I don't need to imagine.
Madi NP I agree, I don't know why but he annoys me so much he's so selfish!!!!
9:23 this behavior is highly inappropriate. Not only is the nurse trying to make mom out to be the bad guy, she is completely disregarding that giving sweets can be a detriment to Rebecca's health, and she's ignoring a clear boundary that was set. That's simply not acceptable from a healthcare provider.
900 calorie limit??? Holy crap. I couldn’t even do that. I love food. But at least Katie has some way to control it so she can live. That’s gotta be hard.
if she did she wouldn't be gaining 2-4 lbs a week. i wish she had half the control she is convinced she does.
Because of her low calorie limit gaining 2lbs a week would mean she is eating 1380 calories a day. You live like that
So you don't have anything constructive to say, just shut up lol? My comment is valid and there is nothing wrong with it. Katie is the one I feel the most sorry for, her parents tried to set her up to do the impossible and in the end they did the most damage to her because when she does end up in a place like Haddock House it will be more traumatic for her than many because she's been told her whole life she could do something nobody with PWS can. Now she thinks she has a strong willpower and in reality she has no more than the others. Yes, once she passed up the junk food and got her tea...but the other times she practically ate the wrapper off of her muffin and had a wafer biscuit with her lunch, and while those things seem insignificant for a lot of people, in a person with a 900 calorie a day max diet a 100 calorie cookie or a 300 calorie muffin is huge...and look at all the junk in her room...I'd love to see her dreams of being on her own come true, but she would die if she truly had any real freedom.
Jess B right? I DRINK that in wine calories some days. Lol. I feel terribly for these kids. It’s not their fault. It must tear their parents hearts out. You see that most of their parents are divorced. Probably too hard a situation to handle day in and day out while staying on the same page to the person they were married to. Sigh. My heart goes out to each of them
I am on the Cambridge diet and only can have 800 cal so u feel really hungry that I could not imagine doing this long-term.
Hard to decide what's more heartbreaking...Katie holding on to hope so doggedly about living independently and beating this condition, or the beaten-down weariness and pain on the faces of Sachin's parents.
id say both...but a little of sachin's parents
Katie wanting a family made me so sad
I cried for her.
Oh my heart breaks for all these parents and of course the children. Katie, I adore you and her dad…… what a wonderful man ❤
Everyone’s talking about Sachin’s mother but imagine what his sister goes through ...
Embarrassing
My thoughts exactly
He isnt mean to her though.
@@derinaries he is, and his behavior effects everyone. I doubt she likes seeing him abusing their mother.
imagine your brother going crazy like a drug addict looking for money trying to find your snacks when he ran out of his own
This people make you apreciate the fact that you are healthy
It makes you appreciate how easy we have it and how much we can do. Nice picture by the way.

Hot damn!
Geraldine Hughes omg I was watching the video and was really sad but you just cheered me up ahahahah
Geraldine Hughes how can you find smthg to laugh at looking at this....so childish...smh😕😕😕
Wow those poor parents, I really couldn't cope with that.
Ok, why would you take someone with this condition to a buffet to eat?
it's not a buffet, it's a restaurant with a salad bar. i get it but they probably did it bc its the only place they have half a chance of finishing a meal before she freaks out like she ultimately did bc she has food right away. since she's with other carers a few nights a week i personally think for the sake of the other kids and everyone else paying for a peaceful meal they should have gone while she was away but on the other hand she doesn't deserve complete isolation from family life...it's hard to know where to draw the line but with what the mother said had there not been a salad bar she wouldn't have waited for the food to be cooked let alone stood half a chance at letting the rest of her family eat even a bit of their meal. that whole night was done wrong though in my opinion. if they took her they should have brought her something to do like a hulk video game or given her fruit to eat after dinner so the others could finish and once she started yelling someone should have taken her to the car so everyone there didn't have their meal ruined by her loud screaming tantrum
What Itsa Secret said, but also I assumed so she would get "full" on the buffet and not rack up the bill in a non-buffet restaurant. This girl will cost her parents thousands in only 1 night if not more...she has no limit.
@@arcticwarrior3499 very true
Hmm... Would they still eat if the foods are really spicy, bitter, or sour?
Arctic Warrior She doesn’t get full due to the genetic abnormality of PWS.
I felt so bad for Katie she seems so sweet and nice
I thought the same thing,.
shes perhaps the only one who is really trying.
All she wants is her freedom to live alone and raise a family. But her illness keeps her prisoner. It's so sad
yea I really like her too! I felt really sorry for her because she couldn't really fulfill her dreams of living independently and having kids because of PWS. She has the mind of any healthy human being. Of working hard, earning and spending your own money and one day having a family!
yes she is so nice and she's trying very hard
does anyone have an update on her? I read somewhere in the UA-cam section an update about Rebecca. Her sister said she is 23 now and is in a home with other people who also have PWS and that she has lost weight and is doing well. I hope Katie is doing well too. She should be about 35 years now considering this episode was recorded in 2004
Katie is so sweet, I hope she achieves her dreams and overcomes her food cravings.
She is inspirational.
She is so sweet...
I doubt that people with PDS can overcome their food cravings, maybe just control their weight
Tashai Small I am not horrible,the people that let these people eat so much food are horrible.Do you ever wonder how many animals are slaughtered a year for ONE of these fat people,a lot
Sammy Gould Do you know how many animals are slaughtered to give you the energy to waste trolling people on UA-cam? LOL....
Hats off to Katie’s dad for his awareness of Katie’s condition & keeping an eye on her food, etc, by doing those things he is probably saving her life
Rebecca: *has a disorder that causes an obsession with food*
Hospital: *offers candies*
they just wanted to put her out of her misery and hasten the inevitable
Egon Jensen no they just have no brains

Rebecca is 11; Katie is 23; Sachin is 22
They have a disorder that causes learning disabilities as well as physical abnormalities. Had you watched the docu, you would’ve seen that.
Ikr
I feel soooooooooooooooo bad for Katie. She's such a sweet person but she has to deal with such a hard disability. I hope that even if the disability prevents her to live on her own, that she will be able to curb her her eatting habits and live life to the full. :)
htevhkbf fhcybj101 it's a disability.
I want to like cheer her on... "GO girl!"..
Nyaan Vegan, I agree with you so much
i feel so sad for her too, she said she wanted kids but because of PWS, ger dreams are shattered..... She is so sweet and she deserves everything she wants
Good to see I'm not the only one ;)
Tamara (from the care home) seems to really understand what her situation is, Katie seems a nice person but she is insanely naive, also I cannot imagine how she would ever raise a child of her own if she can't even take care of herself.
She is not “insanely naive”. What a horrible and insensitive thing to say!! Did you not pay attention when they said PWS does not affect only hunger and weight?? It also affects intellectual and emotional development.
@@songbirds3712 it's the truth. She is Niave in the worst way possible. I came from special needs and eventually weened off medical care. Some people need hope. Her hope is not gonna happen in this life but hopefully God give her a better one.
@@songbirds3712 do you not think a person who is unable to take care of herself to think that she can eventually take care of a child is naive?
Tamara has really grown. Her last appearance in a documentary, she did what she wanted, ate what she wanted, and wasn't the least bit concerned that she gained weight.
Here, she understands her condition and knows she can't live independently and that she was close to dying.
Katie is, unfortunately, hopelessly naive in her delusion that "strong willpower" is all it takes. If she possessed ANY willpower and demonstrated it then she wouldn't have been sent to try out the home for PWS victims.
This just makes me want to take care of myself better....
So I see the like counter at 100 and it's so perfect that I wanna keep it that way.
Grizz me too
Grizz Cmt oh my gosh you're so right
Grizz Cmt
I know. It’s so gross.
Well as long as you don’t have a chronic eating disorder due to a severe genetic defect like Prader Willi, you already have a head start.
I could cry for sachins family. The poor mum. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to love your child and want to make them happy but knowing that what makes them happy is going to kill them. Combine that with the aggression and anger it must be unbearable.
wait..they said he's 22 at 14:12 ....but then he was at 6 form/high school .....
@@90sbaby1 Can you explain that?
@@anoblesteed5685 ..22 is too old to be at high school. Yet Sachin is in the UK version of high school called 6th form.
@@90sbaby1 Maybe due to his intellectual disability he was held back or is kept at the high school. He has support staff that keeps an eye on him somewhat. It is similar in the US-I believe those with ID can stay in public schools until they are 21.
6th form is for people 16/17+ after they leave highschool
When Katie said "the only thing I want in life is children." I SWEAR MY HEART HAS MELTED BLESS THIS WOMAN
Least she has food in her life.
Rainbow Cookies me to that was so sad Katie I wish u the best of luck
Oh god I hope she NEVER has children and spreads those disgusting genes
Rainbow Cookies what a sweetie she deserves so much

That's a very supportive father! He's giving her freedom and he is proud of her achievements.
She seems like she really loves her father as well

She just shouts

MUMMY!
@@evolutionaryadvantage AHH MUMMY
She said: *AAALAAJAARAAARAADAAADAAALARARARAAAAAAA!!!!!*
Katie pulls at my heartstrings. She seems like she's got a lot of heart, even if she has some struggles that seem to be getting the best of her. I hope she succeeds. Poor sweet girl.
Yeah I like her too
Well it's 14 years later and the last doc featuring Katie shows a woman that has to be transported on a flatbed for cows if she's not rolling by her own to whatever place she's going. What I'm tryna say is she's fucken huuuuge. And I'm not fucken about. They should have forced her to stay in that pws home. Can't believe they let her feed her own delusions like that.
@@Gonken88 Hahahah,du har verkligen lika svårt som mig att släppa den här dokumentären 😄😅
@@Phlip74 Reight and she ruined the bowling for everyone by screaming and yelling because she couldn't have something to eat until they got 'ome. It was like an hour after lunch nevermind 24 hours. She gets to go out on all these fun activities with the group to help forget about the hunger pains and she's basically just taking the piss rolling the bowling balls with no care and just fucks it all up instead of giving it a sincere try. That's called having a shithole attitude where I come from.
Gonken88 what is this doc called?
katie is so lovely. i wish her the best. i hope she can be healthy.
Sachin's attitude sucks. He is such a bully. His parents are advising him for his own benefit and in return they get threats and they are afraid of him. What a way to say thanks to people that loves and cares for you
Sachin should be placed in an institution for the safety of the rest of the family.
Tabina Moneta exactly
They should just kick him out... That $80 a week once spent on rent will restrict his food budget.
Tabina, people with disabilities deserve a community inclusive life. Just because someone faces challenges in life, doesn't mean they deserve to be institutionalized. That's a cruel existence. I'm in Canada, and here the government funds shared homes for individuals with development disabilities (PW being one of them), so that once someone is an adult, they can live with trained workers in a shared home. They can remain part of the community, have daily workers to take them swimming, volunteering and other activities, even a little job somewhere, and the families get to have their lives back and see their kids in a relaxed way without the stress. Being disabled doesn't make them less worthy of a life with dignity.
Hilary C well that's Canada not all places will be like that ok and he is a danger to his family but see your point of view
Yep asap!
When Katie’s mum said “well that was expensive” and she said sorry. She’s such a sweetheart.
My heart broke for her. She tried so hard

So...if Rebecca has 2 nights a week away from home...
WHY THE HECK DOESN'T THE FAMILY GO OUT TO DINNER ON THOSE NIGHTS?!
Seriously. You have two nights a week where you don't have your child with PWS. A restaurant is not a good place for those with PWS. And obviously it's a whole ordeal to bring her.
Two nights a week you could go out to dinner.
Ugh. Sorry. Just hate when people are so thoughtless.
They must have done that just for the show
@@carmenolivia6589 I'd like to believe that. But the mom talks about how she "loves this place because she can get something to eat before the food comes." And they speak about her meltdown in the restaurant like it happens often enough that they're used to it.
So while I'd like to think they did it for the cameras, it plain to see they're not doing what's best for Rebecca emotionally.
@@rikiforever420 Not all British people are like these, please.

Katie is wholesome! She is sweet and a fierce fighter at the same time despite her difficulties. Her dad also does a great job.
Sachin is terrifying. He is so big and overpowering that he can easily hurt someone.
Even the sister said that if he were to kill his father, he would have no remorse.
Very sad. I feel for the mother and sister, even the dad. His sister is so cute, her upbringing must have been horrible to endure.
I would die if he sat on me or even stepped on my foot
Honestly he really is
To be fair he looks intimidating, but the disease massively limits the development of muscles. It's likely he isn't stronger than his family members.
He really needs some serious help and I don’t mean that in a detrimental way, it’s just not fair on his family and it really can’t be nice for him to just flip like that. He needs to be put into some form of home cos he can’t live with his family it’s just not fair, and he can’t live by himself cos he has no self control. He needs to live with professionals and get some help
Sachin is a nightmare
Thats the point of the condition. Dumbass

Farrah Array that’s what I said!!
Me too! She knows she's being filmed for something, she sees that Rebecca is already morbidly obese...what if Rebecca was diabetic and really couldn't have any? But I know how these shows work too and wonder if they told her to push a bit to make a point.
She seems quite unprofessional to me, considering the circumstances.
10 years ago I was on the same psychiatric ward with a young man with PW. He was just like Rebecca. I remember him constantly calling his mother, raging about not getting a sandwich, ect. He was constantly yelling at the staff about food. It was annoying, but of course he could not help it. I felt so sorry for him.
Did you talk to him?
Their hunger cannot be controlled. Their behaviour can.
Katie’s parents are amazing, they seem to understand her condition better and they treat her like a person. Even when she mucks up, they don’t make a huge deal. I wish them all the best.
They don’t make a huge deal of it because she in incapable of learning how to resist. If she was left on her own she would eat herself to death….. she in incompetent in managing her condition and would never be independent
Katie needs a BFF to hangout witch can keep her busy and to keep her away from bad food
Heidie Lopez trueeee gd idea
She will still feel constant hunger
Exactly! If she had a witch for a BFF, the witch could just cast a spell to make her eat less... 👍👍👍💪💪😂

Why do they always give the worst haircuts to mentally challenged people? I's like a signature cut for the group

My guess would be that it's the hair that the person wants.
Gypsy Jena it's because shorter hair has easier maintenance for the caregiver and for the person who wants the independence of taking care of themselves in some way.
Its a connection to North Korea
