America's Poor Kids
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2023
- In the United States, child poverty has reached record levels, with over 16 million children now affected. Food banks are facing unprecedented demand, and homeless shelters now have long waiting lists, as families who have known a much better life have to leave their homes, sometimes with just a few days notice. America’s Poor Kids meets three children whose families are struggling to get by, and asks them to tell us what life in modern America really looks like through their eyes.
Told from the point of view of the children themselves, this one-hour documentary offers a unique perspective on the nation's flagging economy and the impact of unemployment, homelessness and poverty as seen through the eyes of the children affected.

I think it's worse today than 10 years ago. I pray Sarah & Kaylee are living the life they hoped for today, as they impressed me with their intelligence.
Remarkable thinkers aren't they 😊
It definitely is worse today
I love these documentaries but I really wish they’d be more recent. They reflect in the past but the present is much worse and it needs to have awareness raised now instead of 10 years from now
It wasn't until my mid 30s I knew anything about my parents hardships financial battles. Didn't even know they had lost almost everything. They kept our world innocent and full of protection so adult issues were not in our ears or in our faces.
I'm so thankful that time didn't have internet and 24hr TV. We were able to be cushioned and live in our bubble of family love.
Not once do I recall our parents ever burdening us with information we couldn't control.
Children cannot control the adult world yet they seem to carry so much of it robbing innocence.
I'm thankful my parents chose to keep hardships from our ears and hearts.
And the mumma keeping all the book. How beautiful.
Breaks my heart for these beautiful kids...saying bye to her dog...hard one...all my best wishes to all of them ...and please god ..better things to come for our country!!
That part was a tear jerker.
We now know that all these years later there still is waiting lists for shelters, we have so many homeless people both in the US and Canada…. One thing I did notice about Kaylie’s family is all that space and no garden. Mom could have done so much with a garden, no one would be hungry that’s for sure. Hearing Kaylie say several times how hungry she was breaks my heart. It was sad the family had to get rid of one dog but in all honesty both dogs should have gone considering the kids go hungry and without proper meals. This mom is so hard Kaylie, she truly expected way too much from her, she was just a little girl. I hope Kaylie is having a much better life now.😊
Watching from South Africa. This is sad 😢. All the best to everyone.
It breaks my heart when parents can't even give their children what they need. 💔
This is reality. Not a movie!
' I may be the same old obnoxious Sarah but deep down, I'm a new person. I'm a different person '. 😢❤ ' Life is like an old maze, there's always a dead end ....... ' 😢 ❤.
It's absolutely criminal that we treat a population that is the MOST vulnerable without any money to pay for their own snacks, games and toys, they straight up just let you land in a bad life just because you were born to a poor family. Every child should be given a small allowance by the government, they deserve happiness as much as anyone else.
So sad 😢😢😢😢
Spoiler, this was a pbs special aired on here years ago. There is a follow up video on this 10 years on. Nothing changes when you are poor.
When watching this, please do remember that this documentary is 10 years old, and does not reflect the current state of affairs, that said, it can be worse now, or better.
10 ? its from 2004
20 then lol @@YogibearXXL
Awwww...she's 20 now and her brother 22....I pray they are doing well.
This is 2023, situation is 1000 times worse and is all over the world not just in USA.
How are they now?
That sad.😢
Walking around looking for cans and bottles for money isn't any different than we kids did in the 70's. It was fun whether poor or not.
Hope Katie’s mom got the help she desperately needs.
If America cuts there bloated military budget in half, many of these kids wouldn't be hungry and would be properly housed...
This is an old video i saw this years ago
Is this an old documentary? There were references to 2004. Appreciate if the date of the documentary is posted.
It says 4 months but I saw it long ago.
It’s from 2012 I’m pretty sure
As soon as you fall off the great monopoly board in the sky, now youre homeless, no one will ever see you or hear you, it really pisses me off
This video says it's from 10 days ago? I saw this many many months ago...???
So sad these people keep uploading the same videos over and over. This documentary is so old
Does anybody know what Kaylee is up to?
But they put 4 months ago at the top as if it's new. I saw it long ago. Deceit doesn't go over very well people, although it is good to read about such things.
2 big flat screen tvs in the house but not being able to pay the rent.... that s not society s fault then! take some responsibility for wasting money when you had still work instead of saving for hard times!!!
Priorities, you can live without food, you can't live without diversion.
omg how many times can they re upload this shit
Exactly. As much as I liked seeing this the first time - enough already.
Terrible, when the poor bring kids into the world, without a foundation and a decent job to meet their needs. Kids r expensive to raise. I hsve a grown daughter. She cost me a fortune
i seen this before.
This documentary is over a decade old. Kaylee and the others must be in their 20s now.
Its pointless to reupload the same documentary over and over again.
Whats necessary is a new documentary on the current situation with the voices and faces of the people who a now in need of help.
Billionaires are doing fine. Focus on the good.
Thanks Biden
The dad had a successful construction business but was paying rent ??
Wait for Trump. I believe he’ll handle this situation well.
Miracle of miracles. How does Trump possibly get more than 10% of the vote ?? The bottom 90% cannot possibly identify with a billionaire. No way, No How. They come from totally different worlds.
Why carnt all the American Evangelical evangelist millionaures help ??? And i write as a christian who deals with jet setting american pastor's. They rush to africa and Europe but what about their own people ????
