    This woman deserved adults that would protect her. This is the kind of early life that damages someone to the point where self medicating seems the only way to get through the day. As a mandated reporter, I am a serious observer of the children in my care. People will suggest I’m too hyper vigilant. I think others are far too lax and trusting, and that is why people like this suffer. Don’t stand by when you see a vulnerable child suffering, don’t assume someone else will do the right thing. Step in and stand up for those who need your voice and vehemence.

Please choose the resources that can help you before it gets worse. 🙏 You're still young 35. You have so much potential to get help and get clean. Get back on the program and reach out to your kids.

      Heather and Rebecca have the same problem-they’re not motivated to change. Heather says there’s friends there who have cared about her but she finds a way to “completely sabotage it”. You can’t help people until they choose to help themselves.
      Heather: “I choose to be here. I could be in a program. I could be in a shelter. I could probably be in an SRO, but I like outside and I like to be free and nobody understands that. They think I’m the dumbest person in the world.”
      Mark: “You prefer to be on the street?
      Heather: “I do.”
      Mark: “And not going to, getting clean in, a program?”
      Heather: “Yeah, and it’s not even about the drugs, it’s just, I don’t know, it’s just being free. Nobody expects anything of homeless people. There’s no standard there.”
      Mark: “No pressure?”
      Heather: “Yeah.”
      Mark: “No responsibility?”
      Heather: “MmHmm.”

      @@Chatterboxis007 My comment was addressing your assumption that Heather will be easier to help than Rebecca-I disagree. I have observed many naive viewers have a “lack of insight” as to who can be helped and who can’t. Apparently, Heather was kicked out of a court-ordered program because she continues to use drugs. Like Rebecca, she refuses to stop her drug usage and enjoys the lack of responsibility on Skid Row, so I’d say she’s not “the kind of person that can be helped” any more than Rebecca.

      @@Chatterboxis007. This is a friendship between Mark and Rebecca-it’s up to them when to call it quits. Other viewers are still donating to the general gofundme on Rebecca’s behalf, indicating that not everyone has thrown in the towel. So it’s not your call when it’s “time to move on”. However, you’re entitled to your opinion and thanks for supporting the channel with your comment! :-)

    Dear Heather please call your children. You are worthy of love and forgiveness. You don't have to do much, just tell them they are dear to your heart and you love them. Simple steps towards bigger things is better than hasty steps towards desaster. My father's sister and her husband went through the same terrible thing of losing a child the same way you lost your daughter. Good luck with the choices you make. May it be to better yourself and stay safe because nobody has the right to harm you. ❤

    Tons of pain and trauma with this one. I kinda get the feeling that she has never had anyone believe in her so why should she believe in herself. She and I have a lot in common with abusive childhood and loss of a child later in life. Where the commonality changes however is I absolutely refuse to do any addictive drug. I saw what crack did to my mom. I sure as hell am not starting that. I don't blame her for starting at 12. She ran into the worse possible person to have a relationship with.
