Your police were so kind with them. The son seems to have some sort of schizophrenic disorder, and maybe a touch of autism but he is was cooperative in this setting. And the mom is tweaking and showing OCD behavior looping that she can't stop. This is the right way to approach mental health people, kindly and patiently.
@@oldschool4280 Why is color a issue here? Im confused because not just white people are druggies and junkies. Crack is well known to be all race color. Im not bei g rude just trying to understand this meaning of the comment.

I’m so proud of you!!! And so sincerely sorry for your losses. You triumphed over so much and pray that continue to live a life full of love and gratitude. My mom was/is an alcoholic, she’s almost 70…I’m in my early 30’s and unless you’ve lived it people really have NO IDEA.
I was on fentanyl for 6 years and I just got sober about 6 months ago. It was the best decision I've ever done. I hope everyone reading this is having a good day
Good job! Never forget how bad it gets, that will help during weaker moments. Life just keeps getting better the more clean time you get. I don't know you but I know the struggle & I'm really proud of you!!💞
She needs them and they are gone she's not gonna lie and he's making her think she's crazy. Well spoken and manipulative, my son is the same. Very unkind behind closed doors bordering on abuse. Trying to get him out my house at this very moment been trying for 2 weeks
I don’t know about 2 years ago in Columbus OH, but currently where I live, she can go to the ER and get dosed, fill out a police report the meds were stolen (or lost) and as long as it’s not shady or suspicious (like she does it on the regular) she should be able to get them replaced
@@discdoggieshe would be lucky to get them replaced because in the call at the beginning of the video, she says her *other* son stole her script and it was replaced the day before, then the next day (the day of the video), the replacement script turned up missing. It would be a HUGE red flag for any prescribing doctor to have to replace a prescription twice within a few days because they were stolen. I personally took them for some time in 2020 (I've been totally clean for 4 years in July!) and at my very first appointment, my doctor was super clear about where and how I needed to store them to avoid this exact scenario happening.
as the youngest of 13 whos birth family is on drugs i cannot say how thankful i am for them putting me up for adoption i would be in this same situation if they hadnt
@wheezly bee Good for you for being Strong, I have learned in life I have to do what's best for me. To do that I also had to put distance between my family n me to keep my sanity. Best thing I ever did!✌
It's from drugs. At least what's visible in the video. The last one minute of him speaking about the picture of her and channeling her. Thats drug induced psychosis. Basically nonsense that makes sense in their head. "There's 7 figures under her in the picture but really there's 12 to the side" or whatever he said close to that. Makes zero sense
Right!!! And they acted like it was nothing. Welp nothing we can do. I feel like they just didn't care about her because of her addiction. So so sad. Shame on the officers you can tell they didn't care
I'm a daughter of an addict/dealer. I grew up watching it all & being abused & neglected.I left when I was 15.Later went on to college for Criminal Justice. I promised myself I'd never be anything like her. I'm 44 & still waiting for my mom to choose me😔. Prayers to everyone that's fighting addiction. YOU ARE STRONGER THAN WHATS TRYING TO BREAK YOU! You DO have a choice! This life is a gift..cherish it. You matter..you deserve so much more..don't give up!
I’m so sorry you went through all of that and even though I don’t know you I’m proud of the choices and accomplishments you’ve achieved ❤️ you should be so very proud of the strength and courage you have. I wish you nothing but great things and I hope one day your mom will get clean and put you first.
Stealing prescription medications that are a controlled substance is absolutely a police matter. That lady can’t get her medication replaced without a police report.
She is high….. they are all a bunch of losers and a drain on society.. There is no help for them,,,, Institutions were shut by Ronald Regan,,,,, they need to be opened back up. That’s why there are so many homeless now.
according to this, it’s in Columbus, right? if it’s Columbus, Ohio, it doesn’t matter if she has a police report or not they will not replace I live in a suburb of Columbus and I can promise you Saft or not Ohio’s regulations will not allow them to replace any controlled substance? She is screwed for the next 28 days that is why the officer told her in the beginning why is this a police thing? The law here is no replacements for any reason whatsoever.
@@authorcole I think her relationship with her doctor comes into play too... But I'm sure she acts like a fiender when she's talking to the doc .pill mill days and leapfroging docs been over... Why you just go get your 220 mlg methodone all week.sell your takehomes you get for sunday's and holidays get some cigs,half a beef burrito to share with your wife or die... Now you have energy to look for cigarette butts and maybe shoplift a few thing
As an ex-drug user who used to hang around with insane people like this it rattles me to the core watching this interaction. If the son really did take her suboxone then things are only going to get a whole lot worse when she goes into full blown withdrawal. What an absolute nightmare.
@@joshclearwater6461 thats not 100% true actually. If she gets. Script she is screwed. If she went to a clinic shed be fine nd what ubsaid would be true but she said she has a script. Her doc will not refill a script or give her anything to help
@@joshclearwater6461 WHO will?? Lol nothing remotely like that I'm familiar with and for DAMN sure not when I was addicted. If you're in the hospital for something or jail then maybe, but otherwise I don't know what you're talking about.
I have sickle cell and my meds was stolen they will not rewrite a script for any opiates especially to an addict they will 1. Think she is lying to get more meds or 2. Want a police report and a drug test before even considering it but if they do it won't be for the same medication
My addiction started at age 16 with opiates, at age 27 I had a miscarriage and I just didn't care anymore, the depression was overwhelming and i turned to drugs, I became addicted to meth, it basically ruined everything, my family, my life, relationships with my friends, I prayed to get clean, then found out I was pregnant with my son, I quit everything, he will be 5 in April, I feel for this family.....addiction is a hard demon to beat...
Thank you for sharing your experience. Addiction is damn hard and you've made it 5 plus years!!! That's no easy feat......idk you but I know you're a strong woman because I know what it takes to do what you've done.....especially coming from that depressed, lost, addicted state.....great work!!! ❤
I think what is really sad is that other questions like "equal pay" seems more important than helping these kinds of people. I mean in society they are seen as criminals that chose to live this life which is far from the truth. Sure it takes two to tango so if someone don't want help it won't work but I know there are people that want help but the waiting time is so long it don't matter if there are help available.
I've been to houses like that. It usually starts with the Patriarch or Matriarch letting things go, encouraging or condoning the issues by either doing drugs with their kids or letting it happen in the house without consequences. Sooner or later theirs eventually a death or prison sentence involved because it's the only variable that will remedy the situation and energy in the environment by removing it altogether. Chaos breeds chaos just like violence begets violence.
@@accuser_of_the_brethren7816 Yeah that is what I thought that this type of life goes in generations. And through that it also becomes the only life they know which makes it even harder to make the change and get a somewhat normal life.
It’s a choice they make but it depends on people and how it affects them since some don’t handle it well (pills tend to me more abused with at least in my area )
@scott I hear you that yes, it's a choice, a very bad one. But then it destroys your brain. And for some people they lose control of their brain until it controls them. That's the disease part. No one goes into it hoping to be this way. Ironically, they do it to feel better Even more ironically, once severely addicted, taking drugs kind of keeps you alive and "not sick."
I was a drug addict from the age of 12 to the age of 56. I am finally clean and sober and my kids are getting clean as well. Only by the Grace of God I am still alive to tell my story of redemption through Him. What these people are going through was my life but actually, mine was worse. Years of prostitution and selling my soul to get what I needed to get through the day. Homelessness was my life. I had nothing. I now have my own place, by myself, my children are grown and doing well, I pay my bills and thank God every day for sending people into my life that helped me, not enable me, to get off the streets and have a new life.
Thanking him now doesn't absolve you of a life of sin. You still have yet to answer for your ghoulish lifestyle, and you will not be happy with his judement.
And that's a duplex... I can only imagine how life has been for their neighbors over the years. If anyone lives in the other unit, they should demand security bars on the windows and a sturdy security door in the front and the back with 8 deadbolts each!
Agree. Them searching or rubbing the outside of his pockets was useless. Their not going to feel suboxene strip's thru his pants. Suboxene comes in thin packaging not bulky boxes.
Exactly. He walked into the house, behind the screen door, turned to the side, put his right hand in his po let and dit he’d the subx. These cops failed her.
@IngridAsInBergman your absolutely right. It was as clear as day when he went inside behind the screen. I even thought he may of hidden them above the door. What a pos son he is & if he had a habit, then why doesn't he get on opiate treatment himself.
Nah I'd say they know her and she probably took them herself why should she have anything replaced if she took them herself and especially if she's done it before
Y'all, watch the previous two videos this channel has on this family. There is a reason this video is titled the way it is. There is nothing more the entire state of Ohio can do to help this woman. She's an addict trying to get more pills AGAIN.
She’s trying to get clean and the cops don’t seem to realize her sons are victimizing her. They could have searched better, she’s right that is a felony. I may be wrong, but I believe crimes involving prescriptions are federal.
Believe it or not she can also be wrong. My neighbour is on methadone and I can’t even count how many times she said someone broke in her house and stole her methadone. The thing is she is so delusional and high, that she doesn’t even remember that she’s the one drinking the stuff.. she also does crack which makes her really paranoid and delusional. Who knows if this mom took the suboxone and she doesn’t remember, or even misplaced it. I’m not saying ur wrong, but who really knows what happened haha.
But I think that one officer has dealt with her before. So clearly he would know the situation with this family.. And whether or not the Son has done anything wrong. Maybe she did something with what she is accusing her son of stealing. Who knows.. All I am saying is that Cop has dealt with her before. Clearly though there are major issues with this family, She says Amanda is in the bedroom and she is not.Very Sad. But as I said the one officer there has dealt with her before.
@@elypowell6797 Exactly... She did this to herself. Karma is Biaaaacth.. she wasn't a momma to those kids so now they aren't acting right towards her.. can't blame the son, it's what he knows. He knows no other way.
I feel like I need to share a quote here with others.... “Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation, like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow.” - T Real 🔥 If you are an adult child of a mother or father that's addicted or dysfunctional... Please go to the ACoA organization and find a good *family systems therapist so you can re-parent yourself and learn how to deal with the fallout of living in this type of environment. You are not alone. You don't have to live like that. You CAN differentiate and choose a different path. Turn and face the flames. 🔥 #ACoA #FamilySystemsTherapy
Wow I’ve never heard this, but I love it! Thank you for sharing this!! This is exactly what I did after growing up with an alcohol mother and being an addict myself for 15 years. I am now a mother and sober for 10 years. My kids will NOT have the life I had and I will do EVERYTHING in my power to break that cycle. ❤️ Thank you again for sharing this!
@@hopkinsmommy1202 I'm so pleased that it has resonated with you! I too am a child of alcoholism and chose to face the flames for my children. Please feel free to pass that quote along. It's by a family systems therapist that impacted my healing. I've written this quote into a copy of the Big Red Book from ACoA and I gifted it to my first born when she became an adult. This quote is significant to those that understand it. I'm so sorry you do.... But so glad that you chose to escape the fire and protect your children from the heat. You are strong and you're rewriting that painful legacy. It is not for the weak of heart. Cheers to you and your beautiful children. 🔥
The saddest existence you will ever see. I have an addictive personality and have been a heroin addict for over 5 years. I got off it with methadone and then ended up on that nearly as long. Seeing this reminded me of those times sitting in a drug den with a load of junkies all looking for their next hit or way of getting money. It never stops. I'm so relieved to be out of all that madness but having been there I can empathise when I see people in situations like this. They've completely forgot what it is to live a normal life and are consumed by this need for drugs 24/7. I pray for them all. You have to really want to change within yourself to get out and you have to be prepared to suffer a while. It can be done and the relief once you achieve it is indescribable. I could never go back to this. Having nothing, no money, nothing nice, barely eating etc and all the other crap that comes with that lifestyle. I stay away and don't put my self in any positions where I can ever even BE tempted.
You nailed it, I can relate also, it's like you have to develop a hatred for that life in order to quit, God I wasted so many years doing dumb shit for money for opiods and I'll never go back.
Good to hear that man,... I was on Suboxone for years,...just recently stopped taking them about 3 months ago,...but didn't taper just stopped. It was a nightmare....even now I still feel so sluggish and tired all the time. How long was it before you started feeling normal again?
My extended family has a multi-generational drug problem. My aunt, though, got sober several years ago after literally over 40 years of hardcore polysubstance misuse. She has a lot of regrets, but I’m really proud of her.
@@RICDirector. I am, extremely 🥰 Several years into sobriety, she ended up being full-time caretaker for the mother (my grandma) whom she’d put through hell for yearsss, but who had never stopped loving her and looking for her in alleyways and jails. My grandma had Alzheimer’s, so it was a big commitment for several years, until her passing; I think my aunt felt like it was her chance to settle a cosmic “debt.”
as a heroin addict in recovery..tell her im also proud of her..40 years is a long time to not only stay alive but its a hell of a habit to change not only the drug aspect itself but all of the poeple places and things and routines involved...sending love
I once had a neighbor who broke up with her boyfriend and kicked him out of her house because he was stealing her elderly dog’s pain meds. *Never start using opioids, people.*
Lol I was prescribed vicodin at 12 for my ovarian cysts. I hated them. But I noticed somebody kept stealing them as I got older. I know who it was. Point is, you have to keep that stuff under lock and key.
In the hospital where I practice, even cancer patients and burn victims aren't given opioids. Unfortunately, that does not apply to people suffering with intractable chronic pain. The experts admit that of those patients being treated for chronic pain, only 1% or less, will ever become addicted. And now, unfortunately, it's nearly impossible for those folks to get treated for chronic pain. Even post surgical patients, (major surgery) are treated with acetaminophen and NSAIDs. Its definitely gotten way out of hand.
@@fcllc4217 I agree 100%! I have personally suffered at the hands of this broken "war on opiates" system. The clinic I had gone to for 8 years (taking and passing urine screens monthly) was shut down and left 3,000 patients with no medication or new pain doctor!
@@WillBlindYouWithLight I lost a best friend over that..she stole my pain medicine multiple times and I knew it and never had proof but you can figure it out who's been taking them...until one day I caught her going through my drawers where I used to keep them..I have endometriosis and am in constant pain and that broke my heart
After watching this - I feel crazy! I was an addict for 38 years and finally got sober 4 years ago! Best thing I ever did was to get sober. I hope these people get some help. God bless. ( I was that lady) Thanks to everyone who helped me before, during and now. That includes the police officers who also tried to help!! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!! You did make a difference with me!❤
Huge congrats doll!!! Getting sober is the hardest thing anyone can do! I was on fentanyl patches because I have ehlers danlos. Coming off them was so difficult and absolute hell.
It was a cop who was the turning point for me too. He asked me after about three times finding me drunk and high in the middle of the street if I wanted to go to jail, or detox. That was 20 years ago and I’ve been clean and sober for almost 19 years now. I owe him so much. Thanks officer. 💗
@@MiffetBlue That's awesome. I am so happy for you! I LOVE my new life too! I didn't even realize how much they helped until after. So pleased to hear about your experience!!🥰
@@jerrygutierrez161 Police are a lot like mirrors in that they reflect exactly what’s shown to them. Be respectful and get respect. Remain calm and so will they. Communicate effectively and you will receive a good connection with the officer. I can understand why you would think things may be different if the family were a different color. This is 2022 and we just need to continue to work toward a better world for everyone.
Sheezuz! This brings back some horrible memories of my Mom, lil Sis, lil Bro. Mom aged herself by 10 - 20 years before she passed. So many of the same movements, outrageous things said over n over. I tried to help, but finally gave up a few years before she died. Honestly, my family was pretty pathetic. I don't have anything to do with any of them at this point, and it sucks. When I see families together, it makes me yearn for mine, but it just turns that pit in my stomach. I'm so glad I've never had an interest in, or ever tried, drugs, ever. It's way too late for this family... they're screwed.... by their own bad decisions. Just don't do drugs! It goes nowhere but downward.
Good for you! I'm the only one in my family who abuses drugs (right now I'm only taking kratom, still destructive imo) and am definitely the black sheep. I wish I had never touched them
I'm so sorry that you don't have that togetherness with your family, but I'm also very happy that you didn't become a part of the cycle. I pray that you have, or will have, a "family" to share everything with. Remember, your family doesn't have to be blood related. I learned that first hand.
Honestly I didn't take a single word that women said as truth. Not all families are healthy. She's sus... There's a reason she's in the same cycle. Change the locks, lock the windows. Call cops for people trespassing? She probably sold her script & was too high to remember. The second cop said he's been seeing her in places she shouldn't be. ...anywho I hope they all get help, get & stay clean, better themselves. Heartbreaking.
I was a drug addict from the age of 15-23 (Weed/Xanax/Alcohol), been sober about 4 years (just turned 27). Was the hardest thing I have ever gone through but in the end its worth it. I have a great career and could not be happier. Sucks seeing people this far gone. Police officers handled this extremely well. Kudos to them.
Watching this makes me so thankful for my 10 years of sobriety. Growing up in a house with an alcoholic mother and going through some awful things I became addicted to drugs and alcohol at 16. After 15 years of addiction, overdoses, homelessness, I chose to get help and have been clean ever since. I now have children of my own and WILL 100% break the cycle of my family so my children don’t go through what I did. This video is sad to watch. Those “kids” were raised around this and that’s exactly what my goal is to keep my children away from.
I was diagnosed with substance abuse disorder when I was 16 and was a alcoholic for two years. Been 1 year free of alcohol and am currently trying to stop taking kratom. I had a similar upbringing and really want to rid myself of these habits for my kids and build a new kind of life for my family. I'm hopeful I will beat the addiction.
Good for you! It’s not easy, I know! Alcoholic father, beatings with belts, having to stand still and listen to my fathers drunken nonsense while he repeated himself over and over not making any sense at all! Extreme emotional abuse for sure! I hope you are successful keeping your kids away from substances!
i got addicted to alcohol when i was 15 because me and my mom became homeless and i was depressed and then when i was 17 i switched to heroin. ive been sober since the end of 2017. my mom is still on meth and in an abusive relationship. im lucky i quit young im turning 23 on feb 1 so theres always a chance for relapse but even listening to my moms stories exhaustes me. so much drama because these addicts are in their own little world and the drugs make them focus on only that shit. one reason i was always different from the other people i lived with is i mostly like to be online so i was aware of other things going on in the world.
@@apatheticxmindsetx3549 hope you are successful with quitting kratom. i take kratom and if i didnt have it i would've relapsed by now. some people would count it as a relapse but to me a relapse is just fully going off the wagon and i have been able to maintain a semi normal life and job while on kratom.
On April 6 of 2020 I put down the last thing that held me back, and that is alcohol. Years of heroin and meth came to an end a year and half before I said no more alcohol in my life. This is single-handedly the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.
@@monicfarmer-wright8087 Thank you! I make sure to pray every day and not pick up any substances. I just share my strength and hope to others. God bless you!
@auttie that’s me rite now. I was addicted to heroin and crystal for 4 years. Got clean last year from the and got a great job but alcohol is my new problem. I get home from work with a case of beer and don’t even put it in the fridge cause it’ll be gone in a half hour anyways. I know I can do this I think I need to start going to meetings, tired of waking up hungover every day, it’s just like waking up dopesick every day.
Watching this makes me so sad , everything that comes along with addiction sucks man, it turns loving people cold , and turns family’s against each other
I don't think this channel has EVER gone to a place that wasn't rented. NONE of these people have the capacity to actually OWN anything. It's not just Columbus, it's all of the people in this type of life with public assistance, horrible choices in life. Just terrible.
Psychosis or paranoid schizophrenia? I don't much know much about treatment for the former, but AFAIK as a UA-cam-trained psychiatrist, lithium can be a big help for the latter. Unfortunately, long-time use of lithium can wreck havoc on internal organs.
Been there- only I've never touched a drug- just was the mother of an addict who stole and lied and abused me for years- It's so hard. Prayers for this family.🙏💗
@@mrarivv0007 lol- you are not the first one to say that . I do Reiki healing and Chakra alignment and I I used crystals and stones to heal the Chakras and meridians in people's bodies. The Crystal you are referring to is most definitely NOT a medicine.
Im the father who allowed his meth addicted son to move in for a weekend....Got him out in three days....What the phk was i thinking??? He didn't last three days!! high as phk!!!
Omg The anxiety I get just watching this. I raised 3 sons and a daughter. Drugs never touched our family, thank God! I couldn't imagine living like that every day. It's a torture. There but for the grace of God ...
I never ever thought I would. No drugs in my family. I got hurt early 2000s. Had several surgeries. My Dt. Referred me to a pain clinic. I knew nothing about opiates nor pill mills going in. I was on fentanyl and oxys for 10 years. My Dr. Wouldn't help me get off them,I found out later Drs that prescribe won't help you get off due to liability. Anyway I found a Dr.on my own,and did MAT havent used since 4-15-13. I was dependent not addicted..didn't take to get high or abuse..
I have one old friend left alive. We did time together. I got out in 1978. He got out in 2004. The guy is loyal, honorable and doesn't have anything he won't give me. When I had a heart attack, I couldn't do anything because it ruined my heart. He rode by and saw me breaking down the wheel on my Softail. He came in, insisted that I drink a beer with him. 5 bikers showed up and changed my tube and tire while we drank. If he rode by and saw me mowing my grass, he'd stop and do it for me. I had a dead pine tree 90 feet tall over my house. I came home from work one day and he had his crew out there taking it down. He was strung out on meth... forever. Every time we talked about it he'd say "You're right. I need to quit". He knew it and he meant it. He just got busted and they revoked him. Now he's finishing out his life sentence. My oldest friend who gave me my first Harley at 18 was a meth dealer. He got shot 18 times for his dope and lived. Less than a year later he got shot by his dealer..with an undercover ATF agent present, and died. Every single brother that I've known is dead from the dope life. So many loyal friends who'd die with me just gone over nothing. It's sad. I learned a long time ago that being straight is better, happier living than chasing the high or the money. I wish my people had the chance to learn it.
Absolutely. It's so sad seeing what addiction does to the ones we care for. I now know how my family felt when I was running around on oxy to heroin to fentynal. Rehab was pointless. It was detox and almost dying once again that got me to open my eyes after using for 10 years. My 1 year clean day is tomorrow 🥰 my mom is still running around the streets and using and I've lost so many relatives and friends sometimes I get survivors guilt....but it does go away.. best year of my life 🥺
They are unbelievably calm for being in such distress. No yelling. That is the only good I can see. I hope this family gets clean. Sending love and light. 🙏❤️😢💔
When someone steals your Suboxone, it's hell. The result is insanely horrible withdrawal symptoms and you can't just go get more without a huge ordeal and a mandatory police report. And... with methadone its even harder. I owe my life to methadone. I've been clean for eight years. I feel for the lady. I really do. It seems like she is trying to live an adult life now, loves her son-- but she's tired of being abused and stolen from. Imagine constantly being afraid of getting sick because your own flesh and blood steals your heabily controlled narcotic medication. I know families like this. It's an existence full of hurt. Seeing her brings back memories. I'm so thankful and happy I'm not part of this world anymore. ❤
@RAVEN In A Van I Am yep. Doctors continuing to over prescribe dangerous medication. Government failing to provide adequate services for addicts. And addicts failing to take advantage of those services, forcing family members, friends and the community to deal with their behavior. So, law enforcement will continue to be over run with calls like this.
@No Name believe it or not, there are a select few who, either because of the area they live in, issues like this do not present themselves. While some others believe that law enforcement simply write tickets and hassle people. My point was that video interactions, like this, may open the eyes of those who live in a bubble or feel that those brave men and women in law enforcement do not have to deal with this.
@RAVEN In A Van I Am Walter was criticizing people who say we should defund the police. He was saying that we should fund them more so that they have the resources available to have these people taken to rehabs. People like this should not be allowed to terrorize our neighborhoods, period. If they keep offending, they should be in jail.
I have no words.... This is an exact representation of my entire childhood 😭 This is my family to a tee, my mom and all her friends/family. Imagine a small child being raised in this household and you will be seeing my childhood. I will never understand why people let this stuff take over their lives.... So grateful to be raised in this type of situation so that I know from experience why I will never touch drugs. These type of people don't even realize how they affect every single person around them... It is sad to see, but most of the people like this never get better, they are too deep in this lifestyle. Thank you for sharing so maybe others can learn or get help from seeing it.
It really seems like whatever the son took kicked in a little before the second officer showed up. He’s literally talking to himself. And I’ve been prescribed medication that I started to withdrawal from if I didn’t have it and let me tell you… it’s awful. You just feel sick in the worst way, you get so agitated and you feel impending doom bc of how you feel, you don’t know when you’ll get more and not feel awful and that’s just what it does to your brain. I feel for this family. So sad
I feel so sorry for the Police having to deal with these insane unsolvable situations. Drugs like these ruin lives so horribly. Anyone can fall into Addiction. I hope these people can get help.
@@walsh9354 I watch these shows, yeah, sometimes they make it. It's a wonderful thing to watch, sometimes they don't and chose to try again. Sometimes, they don't make it a few days. Alot of times, it seems it has to do with their relationships. I have an Addiction. Sometimes it pops it's ugly head up for a few days and I go into hibernation. My husband has been sober for years. He is Great 👍 I had it bad for a few years when I was young and a working musician. I stopped both because they went together. Went on to have 3 great kids and a Productive interesting life. Still indulge here and there safely, don't want to, just to get away in my mind.
Thank you so much for pointing out that anyone, *ANYONE " can fall into addiction! It's such a simple little fact that so many ignore, or try to ignore because they can't believe for a second that they too could end up acting and living like these "addicts " do. But give anyone opiates for a year straight and then multiple dry spells solved by relapsing several times for another year and see how they do...
I am on suboxone because i was an opiate addiction for 30 years. This medication helped me clean up. But make no mistake suboxone is hard to come off of. You are very sick if you dont have it. It is no joke. I have bee robbed of my meds before but i nevet wasted the polices time and energy
Very well said, we don’t always see the things police officers have to deal with on a daily basis, I can’t help feeling so sorry for these people, I wish there were more groups out there who were able to intervene, sometimes we will need to step in and try to save these people from themselves.
Great job deescalating the mom and son's situation and great job not escalating the situation. The coppers were extremely courteous , kind and understanding of all parties.
As someone who takes medication assisted treatment for substance abuse, I do feel for her. I have been clean for about 9 years and I couldn’t imagine if someone took my medication and made me withdrawal as a result. That being said, she ultimately is responsible for her own well-being! Keep that shi% secure!!!
Thank you, she knows good and damn well, any and all take-homes belong in a lock box. I've been on methadone for 5 years and I'll be DAMNED if I'm gonna leave my sh*t where anyone can take it. Ain't no way.
@@BigTerpz what do you get out of trying to nake people feel bad for getting help? Like really...i got clean through MAT and have been off everything for years now. This person maybe using MAT because they cant stop using...making them feel like sh*t for getting help...wow what a tough guy
Wowzers, this was sad. You have my utmost respect, as that entire interchange demonstrates how SEVERELY BROKEN our society has become. You treated them both with dignity and patience and compassion. Kudos, Sir. Praying for our Law Enforcement Officers and all our First Responders, for your protection and safety. Thank you.
Our society is severely broken because the government uses hard working peoples money to provide incentive to these people to bring more children into their wreck of a situation. We also provide a safety net, once again with hard working folks money, to keep these people from feeling the repercussions of their actions
@@reeferrotrandy458 I beg to disagree with blaming all on government. We, the People, became complacent and lazy, and willingly began expecting the government to do all the duties WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. We can't start blaming until we first look in our own mirrors and confess our own shortcomings.
I've been treated like absolute shit about my addictions. I'm a white recovering addict and I have NEVER been treated with empathy as far as this subject goes. I used to tell people about my past because I'm proud of having conquered as much as I have, and because so many addicts suffer in silence, and I wanted to be a beacon of hope to people who might have silent addictions, but this has backfired on me and I now no longer discuss any of this with anyone outside of my immediate family. I don't like generalizations based on race. They are almost always inaccurate.
Same. That comment really pissed me off too. I goto a methadone clinic in Chicago, an addict is an addict doesn't matter what color you are. I'm treated the same as my black brothers are next to me
Yeah, I was treated like shiit.. esp at the beginning of my sobriety journey.. it’s hard to accept powerlessness at the start-and dealing with professionals whose egos were highly involved…8 yrs clean and now I’m a peer support specialist who advocates for those at the beginning of their recovery journey.
@@tabernaclejones6115 yeah, not sure about you, but the dope houses in my neighborhood didn't discriminate. I moved away four years ago and never looked back.
@@tabernaclejones6115 and you nailed it when you referred to your fellow addicts as brothers. That's what we should be to each other. Brothers and sisters. Children of the same Heavenly Father. I know a lot of addicts don't like religious talk but truly, like the woman with the issue of blood who touched the hem of the garment Jesus wore, my faith has made me whole. I know I wouldn't be here without it.
I've been clean and sober since 8/2/2012 and I'm so grateful. I turn 40 in a few months and I'm just glad that I changed my life for the better. I was a bad drug addict. I've done time in jail/prison, lost custody of my daughter, been homeless, beaten, raped, etc... and finally I had enough of that life so I did the work and got clean. Today I own a small business, I work everyday, I have a house, two cars and I pay all my bills. My life is so much better! I'm so grateful I put in the hard work to get clean and stay that way. I pray this lady and her family overcomes this crap. It's the devil! They are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 ❤
I'm so glad I found this channel. It's made me become MUCH more empathetic to police officers. Thank you for constantly doing incredible work for your community, I hope you are rewarded substantially for your efforts.
@@ColumbusPoliceBodyCamera it's better than looking down at them on the pavement, would've went to jail for longer than 8 months if I did that. let the boi vent. has some issues with the cops.
Wow I went to high school with her daughter...I didn't know she passed away! Her mom looks like a COMPLETE different person now. Looks like drugs has flipped their family and life upside down.
Yesss her daughters name was sheena snodgrass her brother they are talking about being in jail name is Jamie snodgrass. And that's the youngest brother in the video christopher . Went to whitehall yearling high-school
Reminds me of my own mother. She was an addict who would gaslight me into thinking I was the problem when she was always stoned or going through withdrawals and spending every last penny of drugs. My only regret is that I ever believed that she was ever the victim.
WOW! There’s just no words. Other than there’s nothing anyone can do unless they truly want the help and they help themselves once they seek help. I worked as a medic in corrections and I had my sister locked up a couple times. I damn near lost everything I had including my job when she jumped bail on me. The bondswoman worked with me and allowed me to find her and put her back into custody. That’s exactly what I did. She served the 11 months that was suspended and has stayed out of jail. That was in 2009. She learned her lesson and is now a functional member of society. She has thanked me for saving her life, telling me that she knows she would not be alive had I not given her the tough love she needed and deserved.
This has to be one of those situations that really eats at the soul of an officer. Knowing there is nothing you can do against the grip the drugs have. That's one of those days you get home and just hold your family in your arms not speaking a word.
Drugs might as well be the devil. They're that bad. Destroys so many people. Absolutely destroys them. It's kind of amazing that people can still think clear enough in drug haze to quit.
@@babyclown devil...meh? China is manufacturing ship loads of fentanyl and ingredients to make meth. The US needs to send/hire kill teams to go to China & off them. Automatic death penalty for all drug dealers.
@MyLifeInVideos yeah no it's not. Drugs are bad, but this woman isn't some victim. She's the matriarch and she's on suboxone meaning she's an addict herself , meaning she probably put her kids through hell and is now blaming them for her current issues. Drugs are the devil, I wake up every morning and have to goto a methadone clinic because that devil has a hold on me, But it isn't the same as say walking in on a murder suicide involving a father and 3 children.
THANK YOU FOR BEING KIND TOO THEM EVEN IN THEIR CRAZY LIFE AND ADDICTION. A cop saved me 14 years ago. Pulled me over for a DUI. When he asked for my ID I Pulled out my Military Dependent ID card. He then said no the other one and I gave ot to him. He then asks me to step out and wants to perform a FST. I immediately say Sir I can't I know I'm drunk. He arrested me and took me to the station for a breath test. He then says you need to call your husband. I said Sir I can't he's in Afghanistan. He then asked if anyone was at home and I said yes my son and daughter. He then says how old are they. (Son was 19 and Daughter 18) This beautiful soul then tells me call your son. I am not booking you in jail. The VERY NEXT DAY. I attended my first AA meeting. Been sober ever since..
I've been an addict for 10 years. I just started working towards sobriety 2 months ago. While I never let myself get to this point I feel for these people as not only could I end up like this I've know people like this. Its hard to see, I'm glad I've begun to move on from drugs.
Father God, I ask that you empower Jack with your peave, your mercy, and the true rest he sought in drugs. Surround him with your angels, protect him from temptation, and may his ears be opened to your voice reminding him that you have plans for him-plans for good and not for evil. Keep him in the palm of your hand, Abba, and bless him, in Jesus' name I pray. Believe, Jack: with God all things are possible. I am proud of you: do not give the enemy the pleasure of leading you astray: drugs are absolutely the piss pot of the devil-he wants you dead, but God has raised you up for something much, much better. Love and respect to you, my friend:)
You’ve got to sympathize with these officers who have to play babysitter with drug addicts. I understand addiction can be brutal but to have to handle these situations regularly sure takes patience. Way to go guys
I literally laughed SO hard when I read, "What a SHITSHOW!!" And then, I had to reread that line after finishing the 2 sentences. And then I laughed my ass off again. 🤣 This was exactly something I would have said, maybe that's why I thought it was so funny. But damn, I can't even imagine dealing with this day in or day out, as the cops, but especially as those people because you never get away from it. At least the cops get to at the very least, get to go home at the end of their shift... not saying that it's easy or anything though.
I have cancer, and one of my "FRIENDS " who was so CONCERNED about me- STOLE some of my medication... There was REALLY NOTHING the Police could do... I was soooooo SICK, so HURT that one of my "FRIENDS " would do that to ME.. It's months later, but that still resonates in my heart...💯💯
@@DarlaAnne Thank you, TRUE LOVE... Thank you... I don't understand it... I'm doing a little better, but it's ok... Again, THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS...💞⚘💞
Her son is a pity,it all goes back to your childhood,you ripe what you sow, imagine the sad childhood he had, drugs are all he knows,my heart goes out to him and siblings if he has any.Close your eyes for 1 minute and picture him as a 5 year old, looking at his mother spaced out of her head,with no one to mind, protect or keep him safe,a lost soul.god love him.
I dont have to imagine. I was unlucky enough to experience the same shit. Always passed out in the chair, the floor, the bed, wherever they happend to be at the moment. Thank god I had a grandmother that took full responsibility for me. Had she not, I would more than likely be in a really bad place right now.
This brings me back to when I was a part of that insane lifestyle it’s scary looking back I stayed in a house with three other adult meth users that had all been up for days! I remember one of them would walk around and cover her mouth when she talked because she thought we had cameras on our bodies to read her lips! I remember I even caught her dumping all of the sugar out of the sugar bowl looking for hidden bugging devices! The stories are absolutely endless how drugs alter the human mind! It’s been almost five years sober now thanks to God and my husband! I pray for anyone else that might be going through that there is always a way out and when you can’t do it on your own call on God! He will rescue you and give you the strength and willpower you didn’t know you had!
This is so sad . I used heroin for 10 years and have been clean for the last 10years and now a cofounder of Empoered support group for those in recovery. This family need so much help. I just wish they would go get the help they truly need.
These officers are so patient and understanding. They can give her all of the advice in the world. They can't give her a backbone though. Until she puts her foot down, she's trapped in the same cycle. Her recovery will NEVER be complete until she gets away from other addicts, EVEN IF IT'S FAMILY. Kudos to those officers
Pretty sure she's Stull using drugs. She says she's been clean for 8 years but her actions and way she speaks and conducts herself says otherwise. Also, the cop commented "why dobi keep finding you in certain places" which Im assuming means drug places.
Now that I've been clean for nearly 4 years after years and years of drug abuse and arrest after arrest, videos like these break my heart. I hope this family is able to get the help that they need and that they don't all die from living that life.
I feel so baaad for this poor lady. I have been robbed of my meds, my last meds, so I'd go into withdrawal with in hours...Didn't care... So I suffered !
I lived in the situation where I was an addict my family were addicts and every other day someone was blamed for stealing others drugs. It's vicious and it's ugly and if getting sober isn't a goal it will only end one of two ways. Thank God I have been clean for almost 10 years and I am married with 2 beautiful children that I love more than anything in this world and being where I am today would not have been possible had God not had his hand on my life.
To be fair, being dopesick is the worst feeling ever. No one can understand how terrifying it is to know that sickness is coming unless you've been there. I feel bad for her.
My family suffered from the same shit because my brother and myself. I was so bad on drugs that I didn't care who I affected or what I did to get high. I'm so ashamed of myself but am also very lucky to be alive. If I was ever caught for some of the things I did for drugs, I would be serving a life sentence right now as we speak. Almost 10yrs ago I was able to turn my life around and now live a totally different life. If you didn't know my past, you would be clueless to who I use to be. Unfortunately my brother has not made it out from drugs yet but I've had to wash my hands clean of him. I feel this family's pain.
My little bro went down that path for a while, back when the smoking oxycontin craze was in full swing, he did some dumb shit and I'm amazed he never got busted for it. He's been clean for over a decade which is awesome. I hope your brother pulls through, if he's still alive there's at least some hope he'll come back around, maybe he just needs to come to it himself.
Drugs and alcohol abuse do so much...and it's so hard to break the cycle. It's literally a escape. At least these guys are non violent, cops came and listened to their bs about drugs. Didn't arrest anyone cause nobody's hurting anyone, and the whole situation kinda dissolved on its own. I really appreciate the cop who patted down the dude, and even thought he had a pocket knife didn't care about it too much, considering how calm he was
Maybe it's because of experience but I really don't think the officers did everything they should have. The son seemed to be on something for sure as well as his mental health issues. The pat down was very vague when they have to know addicts are crafty with how they hide things. I get that they had been there before and knew the family's issues but they acted bothered when they should have taken it more serious. I've been fighting cancer since 2017 and I'm on really strong pain medication because everything hurts 24/7. I had a "friend" visit and while she was with me she stole my meds, while pregnant. When the officers searched her (and she was alone maybe 5 minutes when I went to the restroom) they found she was able to hide the meds in her purse and in several places on her body. She was searched thoroughly, these officers checked his front pockets a little. He still had the back pockets, his hat, shoes/socks and his manhood and bum. They were kind but didn't do what they should have IMO.
8:18 I am pretty sure he went inside, away for a moment after they indicated to just turn out his pockets and before they actually made him turn out his pockets. 8:51 is when he ditched them
@@difficult9783 it sucks when you think you can trust people but my anger went to her for doing that while pregnant and my concern for the baby because one of the meds I take could have killed her baby and she was almost full term. It's disgusting what people will do to get their fix and don't care who it hurts.
I agree...I'm still not sure what drug she's talking about but damn it must be addicting... very sad.....I hope her family got the help they need because it must have been so difficult growing up with a parent with so many troubles and addiction...it's hard no matter what... unless we're in their shoes or have been we don't know... losing a child is tough too
@@paulajennait is not a street drug, it is a drug called Suboxone, and it is for people who want to stop taking illegal opioid drugs, and they can begin to live a normal life again with drugs like Suboxone or methadone. It's called being on the maintenance program.
@@paulajenna Suboxone (Buprenorphine) is an FDA approved medication for "Medication Assisted Therapy" or MAT. It's "harm reduction". It helps those suffering from opiate addiction, get their lives back. Because it has a higher affinity for the opiate receptors in ones brain, if one uses traditional opiates while on the medication, it renders them ineffective. Those on MAT can lead productive lives, as they no longer have to suffer extreme/painful opiate withdrawal and/or be around the illicit drug trade. Many of the comments here surrounding it's use are ignorant and not based in truth, facts, or clinical reality. Suboxone saves lives.
Man this is sad 😔 They remind me of my ex & his mom... when I was an addict, dating an addict, & his mom was also an addict (who supplied us sometimes). Only my ex didn’t have the mental issues this dude clearly does. I’m so glad & PROUD of myself for getting sober & claiming my life bk! My ex & his mother have both passed away. His death was an overdose 🥺💔 I’m not sure ab hers.
I truly hope she gets the help she needs, nobody deserves to live like this. Seriously wouldn’t wish addiction on my worst enemy. I’m incredibly grateful to have 4 years clean from fentanyl & heroin.
This family has been on the channel before. ua-cam.com/video/AOfspY2xR9k/v-deo.html
Your police were so kind with them. The son seems to have some sort of schizophrenic disorder, and maybe a touch of autism but he is was cooperative in this setting. And the mom is tweaking and showing OCD behavior looping that she can't stop. This is the right way to approach mental health people, kindly and patiently.
Isn't that crazy how much patience cops have for white people I swear to god dude

What is a "benzo"? If you don't mind me asking ,with all due respect
I feel for the lady. Being sick from withdrawals is no joke. You can tell the son is spun.
It’s obvs in his pockets too I felt for her as well
I have empathy for this lady as well. She will def be sick and hurting and I get the desperation she feels.
She needs them and they are gone she's not gonna lie and he's making her think she's crazy. Well spoken and manipulative, my son is the same. Very unkind behind closed doors bordering on abuse. Trying to get him out my house at this very moment been trying for 2 weeks
I don’t know about 2 years ago in Columbus OH, but currently where I live, she can go to the ER and get dosed, fill out a police report the meds were stolen (or lost) and as long as it’s not shady or suspicious (like she does it on the regular) she should be able to get them replaced
@@discdoggieshe would be lucky to get them replaced because in the call at the beginning of the video, she says her *other* son stole her script and it was replaced the day before, then the next day (the day of the video), the replacement script turned up missing. It would be a HUGE red flag for any prescribing doctor to have to replace a prescription twice within a few days because they were stolen.
I personally took them for some time in 2020 (I've been totally clean for 4 years in July!) and at my very first appointment, my doctor was super clear about where and how I needed to store them to avoid this exact scenario happening.

Yes, caused by drugs!
Chicken or the egg situation
Drugs come before mental health issues
It's from drugs. At least what's visible in the video. The last one minute of him speaking about the picture of her and channeling her. Thats drug induced psychosis. Basically nonsense that makes sense in their head.
"There's 7 figures under her in the picture but really there's 12 to the side" or whatever he said close to that. Makes zero sense
The lady is correct.
Stealing a prescription controlled drug is a felony.
Right!!! And they acted like it was nothing. Welp nothing we can do. I feel like they just didn't care about her because of her addiction. So so sad. Shame on the officers you can tell they didn't care
The lady is insane my boyfriend was with Sheena years ago the lady is making it up they know she sold them MFERS she's the problem not victim
Thankyou for this info!!!!!! I like to know stuff and I never knew that!!! 😊👏
The cop says "go see your doctor... They'll get you more" they absolutely will not get her more.
I'm a daughter of an addict/dealer. I grew up watching it all & being abused & neglected.I left when I was 15.Later went on to college for Criminal Justice. I promised myself I'd never be anything like her. I'm 44 & still waiting for my mom to choose me😔. Prayers to everyone that's fighting addiction. YOU ARE STRONGER THAN WHATS TRYING TO BREAK YOU!

Stealing prescription medications that are a controlled substance is absolutely a police matter. That lady can’t get her medication replaced without a police report.
It’s a shame they did nothing to help.
@@cezzeboi2841 She couldn’t get her thoughts straight to even request the right help! (Due to her illegal drug use)

She is high….. they are all a bunch of losers and a drain on society.. There is no help for them,,,, Institutions were shut by Ronald Regan,,,,, they need to be opened back up. That’s why there are so many homeless now.

Exactly
Same
Amen to that, I was pissed cause my Disney Cruise in June is canceled cause the shipyard building the ship got Covid
She's actually doing the right thing ...she needs a police report to show the doctor for them to write her another script
Yes!!! Hahahaha
Yep
Sad thing is even with the report she won't be able to get a refill. Especially if it's habitual which wouldn't surprise me.... I feel for her frfr.
according to this, it’s in Columbus, right? if it’s Columbus, Ohio, it doesn’t matter if she has a police report or not they will not replace I live in a suburb of Columbus and I can promise you Saft or not Ohio’s regulations will not allow them to replace any controlled substance? She is screwed for the next 28 days that is why the officer told her in the beginning why is this a police thing? The law here is no replacements for any reason whatsoever.
@@authorcole I think her relationship with her doctor comes into play too... But I'm sure she acts like a fiender when she's talking to the doc .pill mill days and leapfroging docs been over...

As an ex-drug user who used to hang around with insane people like this it rattles me to the core watching this interaction. If the son really did take her suboxone then things are only going to get a whole lot worse when she goes into full blown withdrawal. What an absolute nightmare.
They will give her supervised doses to prevent the withdrawals.
@@joshclearwater6461 thats not 100% true actually. If she gets. Script she is screwed. If she went to a clinic shed be fine nd what ubsaid would be true but she said she has a script. Her doc will not refill a script or give her anything to help
@@joshclearwater6461 WHO will?? Lol nothing remotely like that I'm familiar with and for DAMN sure not when I was addicted. If you're in the hospital for something or jail then maybe, but otherwise I don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah whoever took em is a scum. Been on Methadone for 3 years and I couldn't imagine going without a whole dose for 24 hours. NO WAY IN HELL!!!
I have sickle cell and my meds was stolen they will not rewrite a script for any opiates especially to an addict they will 1. Think she is lying to get more meds or 2. Want a police report and a drug test before even considering it but if they do it won't be for the same medication
My addiction started at age 16 with opiates, at age 27 I had a miscarriage and I just didn't care anymore, the depression was overwhelming and i turned to drugs, I became addicted to meth, it basically ruined everything, my family, my life, relationships with my friends, I prayed to get clean, then found out I was pregnant with my son, I quit everything, he will be 5 in April, I feel for this family.....addiction is a hard demon to beat...
Thank you for sharing your experience. Addiction is damn hard and you've made it 5 plus years!!! That's no easy feat......idk you but I know you're a strong woman because I know what it takes to do what you've done.....especially coming from that depressed, lost, addicted state.....great work!!! ❤
Stay positive!!! You should be very proud of yourself!!!
Love to you in abundance! Just be true to your self.

Congratulations on your sobriety ❤
Imagine the chaos that is everyday life in this house. Addiction just rips apart lives. It's really sad.
I think what is really sad is that other questions like "equal pay" seems more important than helping these kinds of people. I mean in society they are seen as criminals that chose to live this life which is far from the truth. Sure it takes two to tango so if someone don't want help it won't work but I know there are people that want help but the waiting time is so long it don't matter if there are help available.
You are so right. That was just a small piece of what goes on. So sad.
I've been to houses like that. It usually starts with the Patriarch or Matriarch letting things go, encouraging or condoning the issues by either doing drugs with their kids or letting it happen in the house without consequences. Sooner or later theirs eventually a death or prison sentence involved because it's the only variable that will remedy the situation and energy in the environment by removing it altogether. Chaos breeds chaos just like violence begets violence.
@@accuser_of_the_brethren7816 Yeah that is what I thought that this type of life goes in generations. And through that it also becomes the only life they know which makes it even harder to make the change and get a somewhat normal life.
They need several boosters
If someone stole her Suboxone she cannot get a new script without a police report.
How sad to see so many people whose lives have been destroyed by drugs and alcohol. I pray they find the courage to fight for their life.
@scott so bc someone does drugs* once they shouldn’t and don’t have the right to fight for their life ??
@scott Some people are pressured to do drugs at a young age and they grow up not being able to quit
It’s a choice they make but it depends on people and how it affects them since some don’t handle it well (pills tend to me more abused with at least in my area )
@scott It’s a coping mechanism and the opposite of addiction is connection. I’m in recovery and self love is absent in addiction.
@scott I hear you that yes, it's a choice, a very bad one. But then it destroys your brain. And for some people they lose control of their brain until it controls them. That's the disease part. No one goes into it hoping to be this way.
Ironically, they do it to feel better
Even more ironically, once severely addicted, taking drugs kind of keeps you alive and "not sick."
I was a drug addict from the age of 12 to the age of 56. I am finally clean and sober and my kids are getting clean as well. Only by the Grace of God I am still alive to tell my story of redemption through Him. What these people are going through was my life but actually, mine was worse. Years of prostitution and selling my soul to get what I needed to get through the day. Homelessness was my life. I had nothing. I now have my own place, by myself, my children are grown and doing well, I pay my bills and thank God every day for sending people into my life that helped me, not enable me, to get off the streets and have a new life.
Amen such a miraculous testimony
Thanking him now doesn't absolve you of a life of sin. You still have yet to answer for your ghoulish lifestyle, and you will not be happy with his judement.
amen all glory to God this is what ppl need to hear the goodness of God and God is real amen bless you on your walk with the Lord

You have worked hard to get off drugs, congratulations.
And that's a duplex... I can only imagine how life has been for their neighbors over the years. If anyone lives in the other unit, they should demand security bars on the windows and a sturdy security door in the front and the back with 8 deadbolts each!
That was my first thought. Geez those poor people in unit 623.
I was thinking the same thing
Most likely the neighbors are just as bad.
@@krotchlickmeugh627 your probably right.
These type of people don't live in 1 spot for "years" lol. You can get an idea, she's talking about how they're evicted and have to be out October 1st
These police should’ve done more for this elderly lady who is clearly in distress
Agree. Them searching or rubbing the outside of his pockets was useless. Their not going to feel suboxene strip's thru his pants. Suboxene comes in thin packaging not bulky boxes.
Exactly. He walked into the house, behind the screen door, turned to the side, put his right hand in his po let and dit he’d the subx. These cops failed her.
@IngridAsInBergman your absolutely right. It was as clear as day when he went inside behind the screen. I even thought he may of hidden them above the door. What a pos son he is & if he had a habit, then why doesn't he get on opiate treatment himself.
Nah I'd say they know her and she probably took them herself why should she have anything replaced if she took them herself and especially if she's done it before
Y'all, watch the previous two videos this channel has on this family. There is a reason this video is titled the way it is. There is nothing more the entire state of Ohio can do to help this woman. She's an addict trying to get more pills AGAIN.
She’s trying to get clean and the cops don’t seem to realize her sons are victimizing her. They could have searched better, she’s right that is a felony. I may be wrong, but I believe crimes involving prescriptions are federal.
Believe it or not she can also be wrong. My neighbour is on methadone and I can’t even count how many times she said someone broke in her house and stole her methadone. The thing is she is so delusional and high, that she doesn’t even remember that she’s the one drinking the stuff.. she also does crack which makes her really paranoid and delusional. Who knows if this mom took the suboxone and she doesn’t remember, or even misplaced it. I’m not saying ur wrong, but who really knows what happened haha.
But I think that one officer has dealt with her before. So clearly he would know the situation with this family.. And whether or not the Son has done anything wrong. Maybe she did something with what she is accusing her son of stealing. Who knows.. All I am saying is that Cop has dealt with her before. Clearly though there are major issues with this family, She says Amanda is in the bedroom and she is not.Very Sad. But as I said the one officer there has dealt with her before.
As a former drug addict i dont think this lady is clean at all, she definitely seems like she is on something.
This was terribly lazy police work.
"We just showed up to your house for 30 minutes to tell you we can't help or do anything for you. Ok bye now."
She's "trying" to get clean you mean
Poor old lady... She's obviously made some poor choices in her lifetime but no one deserves to live like that!
It's a tough pill to swallow but know that she lives like this because she chooses to.
I'm not seeing the poor old lady that you speak of. I see a lady whom lived a series a bad choices and ended up exactly where she brought herself.
What poor old lady.. she has taught her son to be like this and she choose this.
You say old lady but she’s probably in her 40s haha but just looks fucked from drugs
@@elypowell6797 Exactly... She did this to herself. Karma is Biaaaacth.. she wasn't a momma to those kids so now they aren't acting right towards her.. can't blame the son, it's what he knows. He knows no other way.
I feel like I need to share a quote here with others....
“Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation, like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow.” - T Real 🔥
If you are an adult child of a mother or father that's addicted or dysfunctional... Please go to the ACoA organization and find a good *family systems therapist so you can re-parent yourself and learn how to deal with the fallout of living in this type of environment.
You are not alone. You don't have to live like that. You CAN differentiate and choose a different path.
Turn and face the flames. 🔥

Powerful quote.
Very truthful quote ❤
👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽
Wow I’ve never heard this, but I love it! Thank you for sharing this!! This is exactly what I did after growing up with an alcohol mother and being an addict myself for 15 years. I am now a mother and sober for 10 years. My kids will NOT have the life I had and I will do EVERYTHING in my power to break that cycle. ❤️ Thank you again for sharing this!
@@hopkinsmommy1202 I'm so pleased that it has resonated with you! I too am a child of alcoholism and chose to face the flames for my children.
Please feel free to pass that quote along. It's by a family systems therapist that impacted my healing.
I've written this quote into a copy of the Big Red Book from ACoA and I gifted it to my first born when she became an adult.
This quote is significant to those that understand it.
I'm so sorry you do.... But so glad that you chose to escape the fire and protect your children from the heat.
You are strong and you're rewriting that painful legacy.
It is not for the weak of heart. Cheers to you and your beautiful children. 🔥
What dose he mean how is that a police problem? That’s a narcotic and when stolen you’re to file a report for theft of a narcotics.
Exactly!!! She had to explain to him that it was a felony?🤔 Ridiculous!
The saddest existence you will ever see. I have an addictive personality and have been a heroin addict for over 5 years. I got off it with methadone and then ended up on that nearly as long. Seeing this reminded me of those times sitting in a drug den with a load of junkies all looking for their next hit or way of getting money. It never stops. I'm so relieved to be out of all that madness but having been there I can empathise when I see people in situations like this. They've completely forgot what it is to live a normal life and are consumed by this need for drugs 24/7. I pray for them all. You have to really want to change within yourself to get out and you have to be prepared to suffer a while. It can be done and the relief once you achieve it is indescribable. I could never go back to this. Having nothing, no money, nothing nice, barely eating etc and all the other crap that comes with that lifestyle. I stay away and don't put my self in any positions where I can ever even BE tempted.
You nailed it, I can relate also, it's like you have to develop a hatred for that life in order to quit, God I wasted so many years doing dumb shit for money for opiods and I'll never go back.
You go Terrance. I wish you wellness and happiness.
You’ve done amazing! Stay well 💙
You are not your addiction. Your an awesome person. 👌
Good to hear that man,... I was on Suboxone for years,...just recently stopped taking them about 3 months ago,...but didn't taper just stopped. It was a nightmare....even now I still feel so sluggish and tired all the time.
How long was it before you started feeling normal again?
My extended family has a multi-generational drug problem. My aunt, though, got sober several years ago after literally over 40 years of hardcore polysubstance misuse. She has a lot of regrets, but I’m really proud of her.
Yay, auntie! You should be proud of her, that's hard.
@@RICDirector.
I am, extremely 🥰
Several years into sobriety, she ended up being full-time caretaker for the mother (my grandma) whom she’d put through hell for yearsss, but who had never stopped loving her and looking for her in alleyways and jails. My grandma had Alzheimer’s, so it was a big commitment for several years, until her passing; I think my aunt felt like it was her chance to settle a cosmic “debt.”
Super proud of your Aunt. Anyone that can beat an addiction, is a fucking beast with strength beyond strength in my eyes.💪💪
God bless you and your aunt!!!
as a heroin addict in recovery..tell her im also proud of her..40 years is a long time to not only stay alive but its a hell of a habit to change not only the drug aspect itself but all of the poeple places and things and routines involved...sending love
I once had a neighbor who broke up with her boyfriend and kicked him out of her house because he was stealing her elderly dog’s pain meds. *Never start using opioids, people.*
Good for her for kicking him out.
Lol I was prescribed vicodin at 12 for my ovarian cysts.
I hated them.
But I noticed somebody kept stealing them as I got older. I know who it was. Point is, you have to keep that stuff under lock and key.
In the hospital where I practice, even cancer patients and burn victims aren't given opioids. Unfortunately, that does not apply to people suffering with intractable chronic pain. The experts admit that
of those patients being treated for chronic pain, only 1% or less, will ever become addicted. And now, unfortunately, it's nearly impossible for those folks to get treated for chronic pain. Even post surgical patients, (major surgery) are treated with acetaminophen and NSAIDs. Its definitely gotten way out of hand.
@@fcllc4217 I agree 100%! I have personally suffered at the hands of this broken "war on opiates" system. The clinic I had gone to for 8 years (taking and passing urine screens monthly) was shut down and left 3,000 patients with no medication or new pain doctor!
@@WillBlindYouWithLight I lost a best friend over that..she stole my pain medicine multiple times and I knew it and never had proof but you can figure it out who's been taking them...until one day I caught her going through my drawers where I used to keep them..I have endometriosis and am in constant pain and that broke my heart
It's definitely a police matter and a crime to steal someone's prescription medication!
Absolutely. I couldn’t believe when the cop asked her “how is someone stealing your suboxone a police matter?” Wtf??
That's what I was thinking.
After watching this - I feel crazy!
I was an addict for 38 years and finally got sober 4 years ago! Best thing I ever did was to get sober. I hope these people get some help. God bless. ( I was that lady) Thanks to everyone who helped me before, during and now. That includes the police officers who also tried to help!! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!! You did make a difference with me!❤
Huge congrats doll!!! Getting sober is the hardest thing anyone can do! I was on fentanyl patches because I have ehlers danlos. Coming off them was so difficult and absolute hell.
@@katev37209 Thanks for that! Congrats too you too! Life is so much easier now. I'll take my worst day sober over my best day using anytime!!!!!😁🥰
Good for you! Stay strong and share your story because it matters. People need to know its possible to get sober.
It was a cop who was the turning point for me too. He asked me after about three times finding me drunk and high in the middle of the street if I wanted to go to jail, or detox. That was 20 years ago and I’ve been clean and sober for almost 19 years now. I owe him so much. Thanks officer. 💗
@@MiffetBlue That's awesome. I am so happy for you! I LOVE my new life too! I didn't even realize how much they helped until after. So pleased to hear about your experience!!🥰
Once again, respectful and courteous officers dealing with a sad situation. Columbus PD rocks!
They wouldn’t treat any other color family like they did them people

@@jerrygutierrez161 yes they would

@@jerrygutierrez161 Police are a lot like mirrors in that they reflect exactly what’s shown to them. Be respectful and get respect. Remain calm and so will they. Communicate effectively and you will receive a good connection with the officer. I can understand why you would think things may be different if the family were a different color. This is 2022 and we just need to continue to work toward a better world for everyone.
Sheezuz! This brings back some horrible memories of my Mom, lil Sis, lil Bro. Mom aged herself by 10 - 20 years before she passed. So many of the same movements, outrageous things said over n over. I tried to help, but finally gave up a few years before she died. Honestly, my family was pretty pathetic. I don't have anything to do with any of them at this point, and it sucks. When I see families together, it makes me yearn for mine, but it just turns that pit in my stomach. I'm so glad I've never had an interest in, or ever tried, drugs, ever. It's way too late for this family... they're screwed.... by their own bad decisions. Just don't do drugs! It goes nowhere but downward.
you are a very strong courageous person to walk away but it’s the only way❤️ they will drag you down.
Same. This brought back many memories of my older brother and my mom going back and forth. I'm so glad I got away from it all.
Good for you! I'm the only one in my family who abuses drugs (right now I'm only taking kratom, still destructive imo) and am definitely the black sheep. I wish I had never touched them
Echos Paw ***HUGS*** 🙏❤👑💯
I'm so sorry that you don't have that togetherness with your family, but I'm also very happy that you didn't become a part of the cycle. I pray that you have, or will have, a "family" to share everything with. Remember, your family doesn't have to be blood related. I learned that first hand.
This right here…this drama and chaos that this family is going through, is why I became clean and sober 7 years ago, and I am still today!!💪🏻🙏♥️
No one said it but I wanna say good job. Almost 2 yrs myself and I don’t miss a thing!
It's awful when you can't trust your own family. The family should be calm, safe, a refuge without lies and deception
Should.
Honestly I didn't take a single word that women said as truth.
Not all families are healthy. She's sus... There's a reason she's in the same cycle. Change the locks, lock the windows. Call cops for people trespassing?
She probably sold her script & was too high to remember. The second cop said he's been seeing her in places she shouldn't be.
...anywho I hope they all get help, get & stay clean, better themselves. Heartbreaking.
Your family will do you worse than a stranger any day.
@cvf253 Some people don't have enough money to pay for new locks handles, and the cops don't help them. It's a difficult process.
I was a drug addict from the age of 15-23 (Weed/Xanax/Alcohol), been sober about 4 years (just turned 27). Was the hardest thing I have ever gone through but in the end its worth it. I have a great career and could not be happier. Sucks seeing people this far gone. Police officers handled this extremely well. Kudos to them.
Congratulations on the sobriety
Lol weed
Cannabis isn't a drug, neither the getaway to the hard ones. You were adicted to Xanax and an alcoholic. Period.
👍🙏👏
Weed 😂😂😂
I have so much respect for all police officers,but especially for those that handle drug users with respect. This is such a tragic sad story.
I knew this family when we were kids, something has got to give. RIP Shena I hope her babies are safe.
Watching this makes me so thankful for my 10 years of sobriety. Growing up in a house with an alcoholic mother and going through some awful things I became addicted to drugs and alcohol at 16. After 15 years of addiction, overdoses, homelessness, I chose to get help and have been clean ever since. I now have children of my own and WILL 100% break the cycle of my family so my children don’t go through what I did. This video is sad to watch. Those “kids” were raised around this and that’s exactly what my goal is to keep my children away from.
I was diagnosed with substance abuse disorder when I was 16 and was a alcoholic for two years. Been 1 year free of alcohol and am currently trying to stop taking kratom. I had a similar upbringing and really want to rid myself of these habits for my kids and build a new kind of life for my family. I'm hopeful I will beat the addiction.
Good for you! It’s not easy, I know! Alcoholic father, beatings with belts, having to stand still and listen to my fathers drunken nonsense while he repeated himself over and over not making any sense at all! Extreme emotional abuse for sure! I hope you are successful keeping your kids away from substances!
@@apatheticxmindsetx3549 You can and you will♥️
i got addicted to alcohol when i was 15 because me and my mom became homeless and i was depressed and then when i was 17 i switched to heroin. ive been sober since the end of 2017. my mom is still on meth and in an abusive relationship. im lucky i quit young im turning 23 on feb 1 so theres always a chance for relapse but even listening to my moms stories exhaustes me. so much drama because these addicts are in their own little world and the drugs make them focus on only that shit. one reason i was always different from the other people i lived with is i mostly like to be online so i was aware of other things going on in the world.
@@apatheticxmindsetx3549 hope you are successful with quitting kratom. i take kratom and if i didnt have it i would've relapsed by now. some people would count it as a relapse but to me a relapse is just fully going off the wagon and i have been able to maintain a semi normal life and job while on kratom.
On April 6 of 2020 I put down the last thing that held me back, and that is alcohol. Years of heroin and meth came to an end a year and half before I said no more alcohol in my life. This is single-handedly the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.
May Creator Bless, Guide, and Protect these officies! Patient officers!
Congratulations love keep moving forward in sobriety. U are amazing
@@monicfarmer-wright8087 Thank you! I make sure to pray every day and not pick up any substances. I just share my strength and hope to others. God bless you!
@auttie that’s me rite now. I was addicted to heroin and crystal for 4 years. Got clean last year from the and got a great job but alcohol is my new problem. I get home from work with a case of beer and don’t even put it in the fridge cause it’ll be gone in a half hour anyways. I know I can do this I think I need to start going to meetings, tired of waking up hungover every day, it’s just like waking up dopesick every day.
NO, OBVIOUSLY YOU MAKE POOR DECISIONS, IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN....STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES
Watching this makes me so sad , everything that comes along with addiction sucks man, it turns loving people cold , and turns family’s against each other
I was a gambling addict. I thought nothing of lying and stealing from my mother.
Glad I kicked that addiction to the kerb.
Damn.... that was a duplex, can you imagine living next door?
I would live with my eye looking out the peep hole and I'd mute the TV to hear the arguments. I'd end up moving 😂
I was thinking same thing.
I don't think this channel has EVER gone to a place that wasn't rented. NONE of these people have the capacity to actually OWN anything. It's not just Columbus, it's all of the people in this type of life with public assistance, horrible choices in life. Just terrible.
I thought the same thing!!

My goodness this is so sad. That guy Chris, needs some professional help. The officers were so kind and friendly to this family.
Hes beyond help

Psychosis or paranoid schizophrenia? I don't much know much about treatment for the former, but AFAIK as a UA-cam-trained psychiatrist, lithium can be a big help for the latter. Unfortunately, long-time use of lithium can wreck havoc on internal organs.

Omg The anxiety I get just watching this. I raised 3 sons and a daughter. Drugs never touched our family, thank God! I couldn't imagine living like that every day. It's a torture.
There but for the grace of God ...
I never ever thought I would. No drugs in my family. I got hurt early 2000s. Had several surgeries. My Dt. Referred me to a pain clinic. I knew nothing about opiates nor pill mills going in. I was on fentanyl and oxys for 10 years. My Dr. Wouldn't help me get off them,I found out later Drs that prescribe won't help you get off due to liability.
Anyway I found a Dr.on my own,and did MAT havent used since 4-15-13.
I was dependent not addicted..didn't take to get high or abuse..
I have one old friend left alive. We did time together. I got out in 1978. He got out in 2004. The guy is loyal, honorable and doesn't have anything he won't give me. When I had a heart attack, I couldn't do anything because it ruined my heart. He rode by and saw me breaking down the wheel on my Softail. He came in, insisted that I drink a beer with him. 5 bikers showed up and changed my tube and tire while we drank. If he rode by and saw me mowing my grass, he'd stop and do it for me. I had a dead pine tree 90 feet tall over my house. I came home from work one day and he had his crew out there taking it down. He was strung out on meth... forever. Every time we talked about it he'd say "You're right. I need to quit". He knew it and he meant it. He just got busted and they revoked him. Now he's finishing out his life sentence. My oldest friend who gave me my first Harley at 18 was a meth dealer. He got shot 18 times for his dope and lived. Less than a year later he got shot by his dealer..with an undercover ATF agent present, and died. Every single brother that I've known is dead from the dope life. So many loyal friends who'd die with me just gone over nothing. It's sad. I learned a long time ago that being straight is better, happier living than chasing the high or the money. I wish my people had the chance to learn it.
Interesting story
Thx for sharing keep ur chin up
Absolutely. It's so sad seeing what addiction does to the ones we care for. I now know how my family felt when I was running around on oxy to heroin to fentynal. Rehab was pointless. It was detox and almost dying once again that got me to open my eyes after using for 10 years. My 1 year clean day is tomorrow 🥰 my mom is still running around the streets and using and I've lost so many relatives and friends sometimes I get survivors guilt....but it does go away.. best year of my life 🥺
@@tesstickle6462 That's great! I hope your life is better than it was a year ago, and I hope your life continues to get better from here on out.

Drunks yell. Addicts are in another realm. We stay quiet. {ps ,I 've been in recoveyr for 23 yrs}
When someone steals your Suboxone, it's hell. The result is insanely horrible withdrawal symptoms and you can't just go get more without a huge ordeal and a mandatory police report. And... with methadone its even harder. I owe my life to methadone. I've been clean for eight years. I feel for the lady. I really do. It seems like she is trying to live an adult life now, loves her son-- but she's tired of being abused and stolen from. Imagine constantly being afraid of getting sick because your own flesh and blood steals your heabily controlled narcotic medication. I know families like this. It's an existence full of hurt. Seeing her brings back memories. I'm so thankful and happy I'm not part of this world anymore. ❤
Yep. Things have not changed.
And yet some would never expect that officers deal with incidents like this.
Thanks for doing what you do.
Stay safe...
@RAVEN In A Van I Am yep. Doctors continuing to over prescribe dangerous medication. Government failing to provide adequate services for addicts. And addicts failing to take advantage of those services, forcing family members, friends and the community to deal with their behavior. So, law enforcement will continue to be over run with calls like this.
What are you talking about? Everyone knows cops deal with these kinds of people... What is your point?
@No Name believe it or not, there are a select few who, either because of the area they live in, issues like this do not present themselves. While some others believe that law enforcement simply write tickets and hassle people.
My point was that video interactions, like this, may open the eyes of those who live in a bubble or feel that those brave men and women in law enforcement do not have to deal with this.
"defun' duh poleeece" 🐵
F*© k that. I say Re-fund the police.
@RAVEN In A Van I Am Walter was criticizing people who say we should defund the police. He was saying that we should fund them more so that they have the resources available to have these people taken to rehabs. People like this should not be allowed to terrorize our neighborhoods, period. If they keep offending, they should be in jail.
I have no words.... This is an exact representation of my entire childhood 😭 This is my family to a tee, my mom and all her friends/family. Imagine a small child being raised in this household and you will be seeing my childhood. I will never understand why people let this stuff take over their lives.... So grateful to be raised in this type of situation so that I know from experience why I will never touch drugs. These type of people don't even realize how they affect every single person around them... It is sad to see, but most of the people like this never get better, they are too deep in this lifestyle.

It really seems like whatever the son took kicked in a little before the second officer showed up. He’s literally talking to himself.
And I’ve been prescribed medication that I started to withdrawal from if I didn’t have it and let me tell you… it’s awful. You just feel sick in the worst way, you get so agitated and you feel impending doom bc of how you feel, you don’t know when you’ll get more and not feel awful and that’s just what it does to your brain.

Poor mom. He wants to punch her. She needs help senior should help her. Jesus. She needs a life without this shit.
I am on suboxone because i was an opiate addiction for 30 years. This medication helped me clean up. But make no mistake suboxone is hard to come off of. You are very sick if you dont have it. It is no joke. I have bee robbed of my meds before but i nevet wasted the polices time and energy
Outstanding display of patience and professionalism from these officers. I got a headache just listening to these people.
Very sad to see the despair caused by drug addiction. Columbus PD handled this so professionally and in a way that was empathetic but real.
Very well said, we don’t always see the things police officers have to deal with on a daily basis, I can’t help feeling so sorry for these people, I wish there were more groups out there who were able to intervene, sometimes we will need to step in and try to save these people from themselves.
If stricter drug laws were passed & laws were enforced there might be a handle on this.
8:40 the son clearly went in the house and had thrown what he had. I can't be the only one who sees that??!
I suspected exactly that.😢
Stupid cops. He threw it inside so his gf can get it
I saw it. It was obvious. The officers just didn’t care.
Nope. I also saw. @8:49
Great job deescalating the mom and son's situation and great job not escalating the situation. The coppers were extremely courteous , kind and understanding of all parties.
As someone who takes medication assisted treatment for substance abuse, I do feel for her. I have been clean for about 9 years and I couldn’t imagine if someone took my medication and made me withdrawal as a result. That being said, she ultimately is responsible for her own well-being! Keep that shi% secure!!!
Thank you, she knows good and damn well, any and all take-homes belong in a lock box. I've been on methadone for 5 years and I'll be DAMNED if I'm gonna leave my sh*t where anyone can take it. Ain't no way.
Youre not clean if youre on subs lol. Just doing the governments dope 😂
@@BigTerpz i know right it's just replacing one drug with the other. It's the same like saying I stopped doing coke. But I drink everyday
@@BigTerpz what do you get out of trying to nake people feel bad for getting help? Like really...i got clean through MAT and have been off everything for years now. This person maybe using MAT because they cant stop using...making them feel like sh*t for getting help...wow what a tough guy
@@BigTerpz many think this BS.
Wowzers, this was sad. You have my utmost respect, as that entire interchange demonstrates how SEVERELY BROKEN our society has become. You treated them both with dignity and patience and compassion. Kudos, Sir. Praying for our Law Enforcement Officers and all our First Responders, for your protection and safety. Thank you.
Our society is severely broken because the government uses hard working peoples money to provide incentive to these people to bring more children into their wreck of a situation. We also provide a safety net, once again with hard working folks money, to keep these people from feeling the repercussions of their actions
@@reeferrotrandy458 I beg to disagree with blaming all on government. We, the People, became complacent and lazy, and willingly began expecting the government to do all the duties WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. We can't start blaming until we first look in our own mirrors and confess our own shortcomings.
I've been treated like absolute shit about my addictions. I'm a white recovering addict and I have NEVER been treated with empathy as far as this subject goes. I used to tell people about my past because I'm proud of having conquered as much as I have, and because so many addicts suffer in silence, and I wanted to be a beacon of hope to people who might have silent addictions, but this has backfired on me and I now no longer discuss any of this with anyone outside of my immediate family.
I don't like generalizations based on race. They are almost always inaccurate.
Same. That comment really pissed me off too. I goto a methadone clinic in Chicago, an addict is an addict doesn't matter what color you are. I'm treated the same as my black brothers are next to me
Well said!
Yeah, I was treated like shiit.. esp at the beginning of my sobriety journey.. it’s hard to accept powerlessness at the start-and dealing with professionals whose egos were highly involved…8 yrs clean and now I’m a peer support specialist who advocates for those at the beginning of their recovery journey.
@@tabernaclejones6115 yeah, not sure about you, but the dope houses in my neighborhood didn't discriminate. I moved away four years ago and never looked back.
@@tabernaclejones6115 and you nailed it when you referred to your fellow addicts as brothers. That's what we should be to each other. Brothers and sisters. Children of the same Heavenly Father. I know a lot of addicts don't like religious talk but truly, like the woman with the issue of blood who touched the hem of the garment Jesus wore, my faith has made me whole. I know I wouldn't be here without it.
I've been clean and sober since 8/2/2012 and I'm so grateful. I turn 40 in a few months and I'm just glad that I changed my life for the better. I was a bad drug addict. I've done time in jail/prison, lost custody of my daughter, been homeless, beaten, raped, etc... and finally I had enough of that life so I did the work and got clean. Today I own a small business, I work everyday, I have a house, two cars and I pay all my bills. My life is so much better! I'm so grateful I put in the hard work to get clean and stay that way. I pray this lady and her family overcomes this crap. It's the devil! They are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 ❤
I am happy for you, that's a good amount of time.
I'm so glad I found this channel. It's made me become MUCH more empathetic to police officers. Thank you for constantly doing incredible work for your community, I hope you are rewarded substantially for your efforts.
It’s a bit pathetic how you see the cops as the victims or some crap. Get a grip on of your humanity and rational thinking!!!!
@@Kanek1025 it's a bit pathetic that you feel the need to talk down to people in the comments of a UA-cam video.
@@Kanek1025 Empathising with police officers because of hard work environment is not the same as making them out to be victims in any way.
@@ColumbusPoliceBodyCamera it's better than looking down at them on the pavement, would've went to jail for longer than 8 months if I did that.
let the boi vent. has some issues with the cops.
@@Kanek1025 you sound like a punk
Wow I went to high school with her daughter...I didn't know she passed away! Her mom looks like a COMPLETE different person now. Looks like drugs has flipped their family and life upside down.
Really... Ar u sure
@@augustrk7874 about 1 out of every 10 million woman look this utterly destroyed. no way you can mistake this woman for someone else.
Sad But True Upside down
Yesss her daughters name was sheena snodgrass her brother they are talking about being in jail name is Jamie snodgrass. And that's the youngest brother in the video christopher . Went to whitehall yearling high-school
She did steal money out of my moms purse thats when I left her alone...the daughter sheena. That was literally like more then 20 yrs ago
This is a very toxic parent/son relationship. They need to get away from each other.
Reminds me of my own mother. She was an addict who would gaslight me into thinking I was the problem when she was always stoned or going through withdrawals and spending every last penny of drugs. My only regret is that I ever believed that she was ever the victim.
Had a mother that was the same and I understand completely.
Most children of addicts are usually raised by their grandparents.
just weed?
Weeds not a drug.
@@xanmancan Depends on your definition of "drug".
WOW! There’s just no words. Other than there’s nothing anyone can do unless they truly want the help and they help themselves once they seek help. I worked as a medic in corrections and I had my sister locked up a couple times. I damn near lost everything I had including my job when she jumped bail on me. The bondswoman worked with me and allowed me to find her and put her back into custody. That’s exactly what I did. She served the 11 months that was suspended and has stayed out of jail. That was in 2009. She learned her lesson and is now a functional member of society. She has thanked me for saving her life, telling me that she knows she would not be alive had I not given her the tough love she needed and deserved.
This has to be one of those situations that really eats at the soul of an officer. Knowing there is nothing you can do against the grip the drugs have. That's one of those days you get home and just hold your family in your arms not speaking a word.
Drugs might as well be the devil. They're that bad. Destroys so many people. Absolutely destroys them.
It's kind of amazing that people can still think clear enough in drug haze to quit.
@@avonleamontague2469 drugs are absolutely the devil. I’m not religious but I can’t think of a better description.
@@babyclown devil...meh?
China is manufacturing ship loads of fentanyl and ingredients to make meth.
The US needs to send/hire kill teams to go to China & off them.
Automatic death penalty for all drug dealers.
no its not one of those situations
@MyLifeInVideos yeah no it's not. Drugs are bad, but this woman isn't some victim.
She's the matriarch and she's on suboxone meaning she's an addict herself , meaning she probably put her kids through hell and is now blaming them for her current issues.
Drugs are the devil, I wake up every morning and have to goto a methadone clinic because that devil has a hold on me,
But it isn't the same as say walking in on a murder suicide involving a father and 3 children.
THANK YOU FOR BEING KIND TOO THEM EVEN IN THEIR CRAZY LIFE AND ADDICTION.
A cop saved me 14 years ago. Pulled me over for a DUI. When he asked for my ID I Pulled out my Military Dependent ID card. He then said no the other one and I gave ot to him. He then asks me to step out and wants to perform a FST. I immediately say Sir I can't I know I'm drunk. He arrested me and took me to the station for a breath test.
He then says you need to call your husband. I said Sir I can't he's in Afghanistan. He then asked if anyone was at home and I said yes my son and daughter. He then says how old are they. (Son was 19 and Daughter 18) This beautiful soul then tells me call your son. I am not booking you in jail.
The VERY NEXT DAY. I attended my first AA meeting.
Been sober ever since..
Very polite and courteous officers
I've been an addict for 10 years. I just started working towards sobriety 2 months ago. While I never let myself get to this point I feel for these people as not only could I end up like this I've know people like this. Its hard to see, I'm glad I've begun to move on from drugs.
Father God, I ask that you empower Jack with your peave, your mercy, and the true rest he sought in drugs. Surround him with your angels, protect him from temptation, and may his ears be opened to your voice reminding him that you have plans for him-plans for good and not for evil. Keep him in the palm of your hand, Abba, and bless him, in Jesus' name I pray. Believe, Jack: with God all things are possible. I am proud of you: do not give the enemy the pleasure of leading you astray: drugs are absolutely the piss pot of the devil-he wants you dead, but God has raised you up for something much, much better. Love and respect to you, my friend:)
@@stringofpearls4551 ahmen
Congrats my dude! I'm in the same boat, it's nice to know I'm not alone. Just got up to 60mg of methadone and am doin ok atm.
@@backwoodsjunkie08 good luck and remember to take it one day at a time.
You’ve got to sympathize with these officers who have to play babysitter with drug addicts. I understand addiction can be brutal but to have to handle these situations regularly sure takes patience. Way to go guys
Well said!!!!
Well said!
My heart hurts for this lady.
It's very obvious she wants all these people out her house because they are making her life MISERABLE! 😔
What a SHITSHOW!! Nothing but RESPECT for these officers.
I literally laughed SO hard when I read, "What a SHITSHOW!!"
And then, I had to reread that line after finishing the 2 sentences.
And then I laughed my ass off again. 🤣
This was exactly something I would have said, maybe that's why I thought it was so funny. But damn, I can't even imagine dealing with this day in or day out, as the cops, but especially as those people because you never get away from it. At least the cops get to at the very least, get to go home at the end of their shift... not saying that it's easy or anything though.
I have cancer, and one of my "FRIENDS " who was so CONCERNED about me- STOLE some of my medication...
There was REALLY NOTHING the Police could do... I was soooooo SICK, so HURT that one of my "FRIENDS " would do that to ME.. It's months later, but that still resonates in my heart...💯💯
I am so sorry, for your cancer and for your friend's betrayal. What a horrible vile thing to do to someone. I wish you health!
So sorry 😒 prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!
@@DarlaAnne Thank you, TRUE LOVE... Thank you... I don't understand it... I'm doing a little better, but it's ok... Again, THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS...💞⚘💞

Her son is a pity,it all goes back to your childhood,you ripe what you sow, imagine the sad childhood he had, drugs are all he knows,my heart goes out to him and siblings if he has any.Close your eyes for 1 minute and picture him as a 5 year old, looking at his mother spaced out of her head,with no one to mind, protect or keep him safe,a lost soul.god love him.
And she’s the one playing the victim. This lady is ridiculous, saying she’s been clean for years 🙄
I dont have to imagine. I was unlucky enough to experience the same shit. Always passed out in the chair, the floor, the bed, wherever they happend to be at the moment. Thank god I had a grandmother that took full responsibility for me. Had she not, I would more than likely be in a really bad place right now.
The man in this video is my father. Thank you for this comment. She introduced her children to drugs. MY GRANDMA IS THE REASON HE IS LIKE THIS.
This is absolutely heart breaking 😪
This brings me back to when I was a part of that insane lifestyle it’s scary looking back I stayed in a house with three other adult meth users that had all been up for days! I remember one of them would walk around and cover her mouth when she talked because she thought we had cameras on our bodies to read her lips! I remember I even caught her dumping all of the sugar out of the sugar bowl looking for hidden bugging devices! The stories are absolutely endless how drugs alter the human mind! It’s been almost five years sober now thanks to God and my husband! I pray for anyone else that might be going through that there is always a way out and when you can’t do it on your own call on God! He will rescue you and give you the strength and willpower you didn’t know you had!
Thank you Officers for your service and the video.
This is so sad . I used heroin for 10 years and have been clean for the last 10years and now a cofounder of Empoered support group for those in recovery. This family need so much help. I just wish they would go get the help they truly need.
This is confusing, who's on drugs, seems like everyone is
Is everyone in this town on drugs? - Sean Pean
Yes. About only one not is the cop
Yes it's everyone
@@ColumbusPoliceBodyCamera all by design.
The only ones who can't get what they need are patients suffering with severe intractable chronic pain.
These officers are so patient and understanding. They can give her all of the advice in the world. They can't give her a backbone though. Until she puts her foot down, she's trapped in the same cycle. Her recovery will NEVER be complete until she gets away from other addicts, EVEN IF IT'S FAMILY. Kudos to those officers
Actually if they were evicted and she has that paperwork The police should be removing them, it’s trespassing.
@@Asdfgqedfglo She said they had to be out by August 22nd, this video was posted in July, so they aren't trespassing.
She shouldn't have to put up. She has eviction for those f'd up kid's of her. She needs peace. Get her social worker like NOW please
Pretty sure she's Stull using drugs. She says she's been clean for 8 years but her actions and way she speaks and conducts herself says otherwise. Also, the cop commented "why dobi keep finding you in certain places" which Im assuming means drug places.
@@Asdfgqedfglo That’s what I thought. This is very confusing to me.
Now that I've been clean for nearly 4 years after years and years of drug abuse and arrest after arrest, videos like these break my heart. I hope this family is able to get the help that they need and that they don't all die from living that life.
I feel so baaad for this poor lady.
I have been robbed of my meds, my last meds, so I'd go into withdrawal with in hours...Didn't care... So I suffered !
That family has reached an evolutionary end point.
I lived in the situation where I was an addict my family were addicts and every other day someone was blamed for stealing others drugs. It's vicious and it's ugly and if getting sober isn't a goal it will only end one of two ways. Thank God I have been clean for almost 10 years and I am married with 2 beautiful children that I love more than anything in this world and being where I am today would not have been possible had God not had his hand on my life.
13:45 "I don't think I wanna go in there" that's a freaking understatement
I don't blame him. If he did, he'd be filling out paperwork for over a week considering she walked out with a crack straw.
To be fair, being dopesick is the worst feeling ever. No one can understand how terrifying it is to know that sickness is coming unless you've been there. I feel bad for her.
My family suffered from the same shit because my brother and myself. I was so bad on drugs that I didn't care who I affected or what I did to get high. I'm so ashamed of myself but am also very lucky to be alive. If I was ever caught for some of the things I did for drugs, I would be serving a life sentence right now as we speak. Almost 10yrs ago I was able to turn my life around and now live a totally different life. If you didn't know my past, you would be clueless to who I use to be. Unfortunately my brother has not made it out from drugs yet but I've had to wash my hands clean of him. I feel this family's pain.
My little bro went down that path for a while, back when the smoking oxycontin craze was in full swing, he did some dumb shit and I'm amazed he never got busted for it. He's been clean for over a decade which is awesome.
I hope your brother pulls through, if he's still alive there's at least some hope he'll come back around, maybe he just needs to come to it himself.
It’s never a good sign when mom comes out the house looking like THAT.
I hear that, are you from the area?😿
She's a walking red flag like that
Like what? A human ? Going through issues? Smh.
@@rissyxo224 right, she's passing judgement
show some compassion
Drugs and alcohol abuse do so much...and it's so hard to break the cycle. It's literally a escape. At least these guys are non violent, cops came and listened to their bs about drugs. Didn't arrest anyone cause nobody's hurting anyone, and the whole situation kinda dissolved on its own. I really appreciate the cop who patted down the dude, and even thought he had a pocket knife didn't care about it too much, considering how calm he was
Not hurting anyone? Hello?
When "that" is your "mom" - therein lies the problem. 100%. She is not the victim, she's the reason.
Facts
Ditto
The calmest junkies ive ever seen not 1 swear word no screaming no hitting incredible
WTF?!
Kudos to the officer for dealing with this insanity 👏🏻
Maybe it's because of experience but I really don't think the officers did everything they should have. The son seemed to be on something for sure as well as his mental health issues. The pat down was very vague when they have to know addicts are crafty with how they hide things. I get that they had been there before and knew the family's issues but they acted bothered when they should have taken it more serious.
I've been fighting cancer since 2017 and I'm on really strong pain medication because everything hurts 24/7. I had a "friend" visit and while she was with me she stole my meds, while pregnant. When the officers searched her (and she was alone maybe 5 minutes when I went to the restroom) they found she was able to hide the meds in her purse and in several places on her body. She was searched thoroughly, these officers checked his front pockets a little. He still had the back pockets, his hat, shoes/socks and his manhood and bum. They were kind but didn't do what they should have IMO.
8:18 I am pretty sure he went inside, away for a moment after they indicated to just turn out his pockets and before they actually made him turn out his pockets. 8:51 is when he ditched them
@@difficult9783 it sucks when you think you can trust people but my anger went to her for doing that while pregnant and my concern for the baby because one of the meds I take could have killed her baby and she was almost full term. It's disgusting what people will do to get their fix and don't care who it hurts.
We need a part 2, an update. These folks are interesting to watch.
I agree...I'm still not sure what drug she's talking about but damn it must be addicting... very sad.....I hope her family got the help they need because it must have been so difficult growing up with a parent with so many troubles and addiction...it's hard no matter what... unless we're in their shoes or have been we don't know... losing a child is tough too
@@paulajennait is not a street drug, it is a drug called Suboxone, and it is for people who want to stop taking illegal opioid drugs, and they can begin to live a normal life again with drugs like Suboxone or methadone. It's called being on the maintenance program.
Yeah, its like having a glass eye in the home of wrecked ppl.
@@paulajenna Suboxone (Buprenorphine) is an FDA approved medication for "Medication Assisted Therapy" or MAT. It's "harm reduction". It helps those suffering from opiate addiction, get their lives back. Because it has a higher affinity for the opiate receptors in ones brain, if one uses traditional opiates while on the medication, it renders them ineffective. Those on MAT can lead productive lives, as they no longer have to suffer extreme/painful opiate withdrawal and/or be around the illicit drug trade.
Many of the comments here surrounding it's use are ignorant and not based in truth, facts, or clinical reality. Suboxone saves lives.
Man this is sad 😔
They remind me of my ex & his mom... when I was an addict, dating an addict, & his mom was also an addict (who supplied us sometimes). Only my ex didn’t have the mental issues this dude clearly does.
I’m so glad & PROUD of myself for getting sober & claiming my life bk!
My ex & his mother have both passed away. His death was an overdose 🥺💔 I’m not sure ab hers.
