When I was a kid, I was a homebody. I remember wondering why some kids never went or wanted to go home. It never occurred to me when I was young what other young people were going through. I've been thinking of volunteering as a CASA. I'm so happy that you and your children are thriving.

Same here. I used to be mad because some kids could stay out late every night or go anywhere and nobody cared or didn’t have to ask permission. In my case, I had to be inside at a certain time and couldn’t go anywhere. I appreciate that and I realized those friends had so much going on at home and their parents didn’t care where they were. I vividly remembered a friend who had a step father and was scared to go in the house when her mother wasn’t there. Kids go through a lot.

I grew up in dysfunction and abuse. But my parents weren't strict with me going anywhere. If I spent nights away from home, I'd miss it after a while. I'm learning about trauma bonds, I believe that's what I dealt with. I didn't want to live there, but I did feel more comfortable being home. So strange.🤔

@@Nita_100I get it. For me it’s because it’s all I knew. I made sure my daughter had a very different experience growing up!!

Sadly I'm not surprised that some women would allow a child to be abused it's truly disgusting

Truth. It's usually the worst betrayal too because people assume women are better

She’s so down to earth and honest. I wish you well Tina. You’re an amazing woman!

Same. I was in foster care from 1 to 13. I was sexually abused, physically.abused. Started at birth, I was an alcoholic baby with the shakes.taken away at 1 yr old. At 5 yrs old the foster mom locked me in the bathroom with straight ammonia and no windows & I only had on panties. I thought I was gonna die. Been to foster home to foster home. I been to a real orphanage home when I had to wait for a family. I was sexually abused, I was neglected, dirty, head lice. It was bad. I try not to let my mind go there.

My daughter was also born with club feet along with other conditions. God protected you and your children through it all! 🙏❤❤

Your children are absolutely beautiful and blessed to have an AMAZING mother like you!💖 I can't wait to adopt many children, as ALL children deserve to be loved, cherished and protected. There's a special place and price to pay for the demons that violated you. Wishing you the absolute best that life has to offer!💖💖💖 What a Queen!

That's why we need the older generation to teach the younger GOD BLESS YOU

Tina, i just have to say, I'm PROUD OF YOU...i don't know you, but the things you went through and the decisions you had to make as a child made you BRAVE and STRONG...what an amazing woman you are and GOD BLESS YOU...

Although I wasn’t trafficked but I grew up in a household where my dad was very abusive to my mother…that lead me to live a life that was full of abuse! I had my daughter at 19 years old and she was my motivation to do better. She has been the biggest inspiration and blessing…thank God for that child that came along at the wrong time (yet right on time). I’m so happy that you got out of that horrible situation 🙏🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽🫶🏽❤

I had my first child at 36 and felt like I didn't know what I was doing. I couldn't imagine ever strength you had to summon for your son. Thank you for telling this story. God bless and keep you.

Heartbreaking

My thoughts exactly.

I feel your pain

This is why I’m a foster parent myself, I group up in foster care myself, even though I was placed with family it wasn’t a good place to live, I only foster baby’s from newborn to 2yrs old, and I pray for older children, I understand how hard it is, I’ve seen a lot of older children get hurt and bounced from home to home, I want to be placed with older children who needs a change but they have been damaged so badly that by the time they get to a nice home they still struggle with trusting. After watching this I’m going to keep my doors open for any older child who’s needs the extra support and ready for a better life, thank you for being brave and saying the truth.

I HOPE "THESE PEOPLE CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SEXUAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE" JUST LIKE THE RICH AND FAMOUS!!!

Mrs Tina Green, you are truly a warrior. May God continue to strengthen you and provide you abundant blessings! Thank you for sharing. It is truly an amazing story.

Wish i could hug you Tina . I wish i knew you when you wanted to be sheltered and be in a safe environment. I would have picked up on that real fast. Our house was the house anyone could come get a meal or shelter. People to this day still come to my momma house if they need food or a place to stay. IM SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU❤❤❤❤

I'm from Chicago too Tina. I'm soo sorry to hear about what happened to you. I'm going to pray to God that something wonderful happens to you and your family.

I'm so sorry you went through that. 😢

My god this is horrible 🥺🥺🥺to treat children this way !! Foster care system sucks !! Smfh

Wow , May the Lord continue to guide and bless you abundantly.

I am so sorry for what you went through. You survived because you are strong. I am so happy you can tell the story and will help many others.

You are amazing! Praise god for the victory!

For all the years of he'll, I hope with all hope you receive blessings for everything you've been through.

Im so proud of you Tina. Nobody loves greater than God our Father.

I wish I can protect all children.... I hate this so much. Adults that let shit like this happen to me are as bad as the fucking pervs. We need to protect the children. This is so fucking sad

Thank you so much

You are a Queen! You always have been. You always will be. The more we can share our stories, the more good that comes from it, and the less power our abusers will have in our lives. I went through much of the same. WE are the ones that can change the world for the ones that need us more. My heart is with you. You did an amazing job! Much love!

Thank You for telling us your story. You do important work. You communicate the hardest things that many others have no clue about, You are genuine, You change things. Some of the things I can relate to, and I live across the world from You. Thank You for speaking your through. Your voice matters.

@@UnfilteredStoriesYT Thank You for your work to inform and educate, giving a safe space for stories, comments and thoughts on YT. Dealing with the weight of so much pain, hearing about how we as a society fails and children having less value than a pak of cigarettes is heartbreaking and soul crushing. So, Thank You for doing this. Remember to give yourself/ selves plenty of breaks, pauses. Share tasks on this account with more people? Taking care of You and recharging is essential to this kind of work. (Now I will stop being a mother hen, it comes with age. I'm sorry if I overstepped.) Take care!

Your amazing! God's Grace overtakes you and your family 💓

This made me cry.

This world is ruthless! Im going through this now!

It's crazy that other adults are around...many don't speak on that aspect

✊🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤thank u for sharing Chicago is not easy to live in on any level🙏🏾🙏🏾🌬️

😢 sad story flying through the story cutting out parts and pieces show how much trauma this woman went through. 👏🏾

God bless you sweet lady

God bless u. This was a powerful and sad video to watch.

God bless you and your children ❤❤❤

You should get a job as a story teller. I truly enjoyed hearing you tell us some of yours so thanks for sharing. Good luck in all your endeavors and give plenty love to yourself and your family.... I fostered lil parenting teen families and it fulfilled my life more than anything I had ever done before that....and now as a retiree, I'm with CASA where I volunteer mentoring a child who has chosen a post-secondary educational option and not to become emancipated. Again good luck to you, stay safe, be careful and know that you and your population are always in my prayers. Much love.

This made me damn near cry😢😢😢

Someday, if I have the time to do it, I will do CASA. I’ve been wanting to do it for awhile…just have a lot of things going on right now. But, trust and believe CASA is definitely on my list.

That's awful! There are shelters fir women and children but no one told her

SUPERWOMAN 🦸‍♂️ I'm so glad you survived, you're going to be a light for so many

So sorry you had to go throughall that alone. As a foster parent, I can't imagine just saying "good bye, you are out" when you turn 18. Now a days, there are groups and homes where kids can age out gradually. They are helped getting a car, job and apartment.

Wow your story is amazing ❤

Wonderful strong beautiful woman 💓💓💓

You are a hero ❤

Tina, I’m so sorry people have heard you. Thank you for sharing your story.

AMAZING woman, you are a real one. I'm so proud of you. You have to be proud of yourself for all you've accomplished in spite of the horror you lived through.

Tina im so sorry god bless you

Wow! This story truly broke my heart ❤️. You are such a beautiful soul and I’m glad that you are in a better position in life now. Many people look backwards at their past experiences and it hinders them from growing or overcoming that trauma, but instead you don’t look back. You seemed to have been a great mother to your children, and I hope that people in similar situations can hear your story and change their lives. Blessings to you ❤

😭😭😭

Thank you for being so kind hearted regardless of all the suffering you have endured.... after hearing some of these stories... I am very suspicious of the foster system. These poor children being traumatized.... something has to change

You're such a strong woman for all you've been through, and your last statement was inspirational! I don't remember the exact words, but along the lines of, I don't dwell on what happened to me, I'm always moving forward because I don't want to keep that energy. You're such an amazing soul with 2 beautiful children...and you did an amazing job protecting those beautiful beings. Good job mama!

Sorry u went thru that. ❤ blessings to u

So sad omg 😢

I pray that soon, this kind of evil ends. God Bless you

I'm so proud of u and God truly bless u 💗

God Bless this woman. She should write a book. I wonder what happened to her brother. Or do she have a relationship with him. It's sad she didn't have any family.

Your helping me when you said ok I went threw that that and that move forward

So sorry for your trauma

Please talk to someone ! Great Advice! Keep going!

As the man (Gen 1:26-28) KJV, a husband (Gen 2:21-25) and a father (Gen 3:16), the minister of God (Rom 13), teacher (Eph 4) and one of the survivors who was bullied in school, I am so sorry all of this happened to you and your brother. Every time I see and/or hear anything like this, I see my wife or my daughters. If I could have protected you from being harmed by "it", I would have, but I can not be everywhere all at once. (1 John 4)

What resilience this lady had, I also felt that deep in heart to escape she had to be resourceful. I wonder if the foster care system has changed any? I have heard about CASA from my friend who was a volunteer social worker.

Omg I ha e so much admiration for you and you are living proof that through God all things are possible .thank you for sharing your story you have no idea how much you are helping people even those of us who didn't go through such a horrendous start in life. God bless you❤

This story is so similar to Teyana Taylor's new movie, "A Thousand and One."

I hate this! I am a social worker! This is disgusting!! I always fought for my kids to go back to FAMILY!! not foster care! The system is horrible

Wow 😮 you are one of the strongest women I've ever seen. Your love and example for your kids are amazing, and I can't imagine how proud you all are of each other. Keep on keepin on, you're an inspiration!

I was in such a similar situation with a woman and a man who was not her husband , her husband was an older man with dementia so he didn’t know what was going on and was bed bound but the man “ worked “ for her but was preying and touching on me and my little sister and trying to solicit us for sex to the trash truck driver and himself for money …

Yall have to coach the guest. She is speed talking. Someone should have coached her and helped her breathe. I know this was stressful after for her. You can hear by her voice she is anxious. Do better to prepare them.

Tina, I’m so glad you’re in a better situation in life, and with two beautiful children and a supportive partner. You were so brave and amazing to fight for your son and to do what you had to do to take care of your children. You were done incredibly wrong as a child, but you didn’t stay down or allow those circumstances to ruin your life. Love and many blessings to you and your family as you continue to care for and uplift those who need people like you so very much.♥️
