@@aliceDarts I appreciate that perspective. And I agree they were very bad people. I certainly don't condone neglect or abuse, but as far as how they viewed weird and (to us) unthinkable actions, I wonder. Did they know it was wrong the same way we as outsiders do, or were they just a product of their environment? An environment that acclimated them to horrible things. An environment that made abuse very familiar. A lot of times familiar means something you're ok with even when you shouldn't be. I've learned that people who grow up in dysfunction (like myself, narcissistic abuse) don't usually know just how bad it is until they are exposed to how healthy people live. I'm still unraveling my own abuse and neglect in my 30s. The point is, the life we have as younger people defines the starting point in our adult years. It's totally our responsibility to be decent citizens though. In this case, the trauma and dysfunction is just multiplied. All those children are affected by this. How are they gonna deal with it? Are they going to be abusive, or are they gonna wake up and say no more? I think I have a little sympathy for the younger versions of Flor and Anderson, but I mainly feel for the sadness of the situation as a whole. I'm glad this kind of thing is being talked about.

In brazil there's this thing called "brazilian adopting" in which a family takes a kid in to raise, and sometimes the biological family is ok with that. But also it was very common for families to take poor girls in to be their maid. Other families see this as a way to adopt a child without having to go through the legal system (which is very thorough to make sure the parents are fit to raise a child, you have to go through a six month course and then submit to be considered legally able to adopt, and only then you'll be put in line to adopt a child fit for your profile). So Flor's case wasn't seen as strange cause this kind of informal adoption was/is very common here. Which sucks. She was seen as a foster mom.

As a Brazilian i was shocked to see Flordelis's picture on the cover. There are not many Brazilian cases that gain international media's attention, so thank you Steph, Mr. Mango and everyone else that helped making this video and gather information. As always your way of telling stories is amazing! One thing about favelas is that being on a "gang" in favelas sometimes is the only way they have to afford food and living, people there are just trying to have a better life, they have dreams and aspirations just like everyone else. There are some movies, books and songs that can portrait that really well! If im honest rich drug dealers and gangs that arent based on favelas are really more dangerous than the people on favelas, mostly because its always really rich and powerful families, politicians, so basically people that wont have to deal with consequences. There is also a lot of discrimination when it comes to that because the police will just shoot anyone(literally innocent kids playing on the streets) with the excuse that they mistook the kid with someone dangerous or that they were holding guns, these police officers and etc never had to deal with the consequences of their actions. There are many sad cases on that and many more. Brasil is an amazing place, but just like any other country there are many many social, political, system and religious problems.

Oh, this one is a crazy ride. I met them personally and boy, those kids were a mess. For context, big churches in Brasil have sort of a inner circle thing and the more prominent members tend to go around visiting each other's churches. Back in my church days, I had the chance to meet them at one point. I had contact with mostly the younger ones, and let me tell you, those kids had it rough. For those wondering how they maintained so many kids, two things (allegedly), one, there were select ones who got a good treatment and the rest were resumed to rice, pasta and hot dogs. Two, the church pays for them, many donate directly to the parents to help out. My former church also had another family with 50 children (this one hasn't been found guilty of anything as far as I know) and they got a lot of monetary and food donations, they did just fine. And if I may, the Evandro case is also quite the roller coaster ride. Maybe check it out.

people do not realize that there is a spiritual war going on and humans are caught in the middle and Christ is the light that the darkness fears so the darkness has infiltrated and is trying to blaspheme everything Christ-like. This earth is the breeding ground for the righteous and witchcraft is as disobedience....do not be fooled. The wrath of God is upon the entire world and the only way to escape from that wrath is Christ and NOTHING else. A holy God is a HOLY GOD and everything is unclean. Do not be fooled. your lust and your desires are what corrupts you. You desire money, love, fame, destruction, punishment for others, revenge....it is all vanity and desire......Christ is GOD in flesh and the only TRUE man in how man should be and that is why he is called THE SON OF MAN and why man was created in the image of GOD. That is why HE had full control over life and nature.

I sadly have personal experience with this phenomenon of crazy Christians adopting kids only to abuse them. I grew up in the church and met this family seemed normal on paper, they had daughters I was really excited to get to know as there weren’t a lot of girls my age at my church. But suddenly the family started attended church without their adopted daughters. After people asked questions they stopped attending church completely. Fast forward 4 years and they are all over the news for keeping those poor girls I had tried connecting with in cages in the basement of their house. It became a huge case in my town because they were homeschooled and people rightly pointed out there was no way to check in on these adopted kids because of this “homeschool” set up, and they could’ve been rescued sooner if they had been enrolled in public school where them going missing could be reported. My church at the time couldn’t have reported them missing and we had no clue. It’s a sad case and still upsets people. The homeschool community fought hard against government check ins, but how else do we stop these types of people?

Unfortunately, and sadly, child abuse isn't rare. And it is *usually* accompanied by a public facade that is maintained by threat of violence or other abuse. And children learn this YOUNG.

This is a big reason why I wish people would stop telling adoptees they should be grateful for being adopted. You don't have to dig deep to read about more tragedies that involve adoptive children. We're not a monolith and just because there may be good adoptions, doesn't mean we should neglect the bad ones.

When the child she adopted had mental health issues she just couldn't handle it. I really don't think she handled it the right way. Let alone the lack of maternal love and safety he experienced, but of course I do believe some was genetic. But no one in her family ever had problems with mental health. It sucks bc he is still close to and talks to his parents but when he tells me stories of his childhood I have to be like "that isn't punishment or discipline that is abuse like bad abuse..." like getting whipped with a belt till he was purple because he wouldn't eat a certain food bc he has ocd and sensory issues. He ended up getting into alot of legal trouble and fell into addiction , and they never took any credit, in fact, they hated him and blamed him more for "ruining their good family name" ...didn't mean to trauma dump but its something that still has me angry to this day and they never really acknowledged what they did wrong Our son has OCD too, and I'm just relieved that I can raise him with love and empathy and do what they couldnt.

It is an absurd case that shocked the entire country, a fire in a nightclub that killed 242 young people and left more than 600 injured. it was an extremely terrible and bizarre case, the nightclub had several structural problems and many other problems that, if they had been resolved earlier, would have prevented this tragedy, this case even became a 5-episode Netflix series, I recommend watching it too. The worst of all is that to this day those responsible have not been arrested. I believe that with you commenting on it it will become better known internationally, thus ensuring that the victims and these tragedies and injustice are not forgotten.

MANGO!!! you tell the story so delectably dramatastic!

My first thought when I heard she was married to her adopted son was, "Ew" *Clutching Pearls*, followed by, "How old is she?" That voodoo she do is mighty strong. 🤯

This case shook the whole country, every time a new detail of it was made public, we would get more and more shocked. Brazil is a very religious country, so Christians are seen as the good people here, after this case, the police uncovered so many other cases of the same nature, like João de Deus and so many other Pastors, because the victims knew it that this time the would be heard. Obs: Since Brazil is a very Christian country, any religion outside of the Christianity is seen as "Dark Magic", and most of them being African rooted religions, I think the reason of this prejudice is mostly racism, because those religions were brought to Brazil by the enslaved people. Flor de Liz doing things that could be considered "Dark Magic" was so mind boggling for a lot of people, because she was an evangelical pastor, and the evangelicals are known to be one of the most extremists Christians, at least here in Brazil, they even attack other Christian religions, like Catholicism, they already kicked and broke the image of Nossa Senhora Aparecida, the Brazilian representation of Virgin Mary, live on national television. Obs 2: The some favelas are so neglected that, the crime lords/drug dealers are the ones that take care of their population, give food, clothes, toys, throws parties for the community, they went as far as, stealing Yellow Fever vaccines because the government weren't sending those vaccines to their community. Brazil is indeed a crazy country, we make no sense sometimes, the "bad guys" sometimes are the "good guys", and the "good guys" sometimes are the "bad guys". I don't live in a favela, but I live on a neighborhood that was once the hill and later became asphalted, and it was once seen as a dangerous neighborhood because of a drug dealer, everyone feared him outside our neighborhood, but in reality he was a pretty nice guy, he just looked scary, our house was never robbed because he studied with mom and was friends with my family, when he died the whole neighborhood went to his funeral.

The notion that all drug dealers are bad is pretty silly. Some people are good people who deal drugs. I’m glad to hear you nuanced perspective on how these crime groups did good for their community, it makes sense considering the members of the gangs would be members of the community, so of course they want to give back. Definitely not a problem exclusive to Brazil where people turn to organised crime as a source of security and income. A lot of these gangs and drug trafficking would be lessened if people were just given liveable conditions, as a poor person myself, not as bad off as people in the favelas obviously, but it does affect my mental health and leads to me to take medicinal drugs. I think the world is very united on some things, and how it affects Brazil is incredibly nuanced and interesting. Amazing to learn 💖

And their society was in no condition to do anything about it. Horrendous. Unthinkable.

Since you are covering Brazilian cases now, please cover the “Boate Kiss” case. When you covered the Itawon incident it made me think of this case. It is really tragic and until this day justice was not survived even though we know the people responsible. Anyway, love your videos 😊❤.

My thoughts exactly! That case really deserves to be talked about on this channel. I was so young (12) when it all happened but to this day I remember the absurdity behind the decisions that caused that tragedy as the media coverage started explaining stuff like the ceiling material, the equipment the band used that caused the fire, how even the way the exits were build contributed and, worse of all, the stories about how many people died in the bathroom suffocated by the toxic gas... And to people unfamiliar with the story, I think the numbers say a lot: 242 died and 630 were injured. The victims were mostly young adults who were just going out to a night club to have fun and watch a show. This case happened more than 10 years ago (Jan 27th 2013) and to this day families are grieving and still demanding justice.

@@mariana5011 yes! I was also very young (11) but I remember it vividly. And the new Netflix series about it just brought it all back to me.
