My mother raised us like this. We had no running water, our house was filthy. I made sure that I broke the cycle of poverty by getting a good education and a good career. When I felt frustrated and wanted to quit, I thought about my childhood and pushed my way through.I made sure that my children had the very best and they have all graduated college and have great jobs. The cycle of poverty/depression can be broken. It is hard work but it can be done. Hopefully her children can break this cycle.

John Doe I pray for you in your ignorance of NOT having knowledge needed before making comments. Did you know there are additives put in food causing young females to develop sooner than what they should, antibiotics in milk and meat, estrogen added in CAN goods causing me to have female tendencies. Our bodies goes through puberty at some level of aging. Did you know Black people got their land and houses taken from them or they were cheated out of it by white back then threaten saying (you have one day or maybe more to pack up your things,.they didn't even offer them Help just what they had AND get off their own land... of they didn't they would set the house in fire with the family in there). Today,.a lot of that land blacks live on paying rent belong to their ancestors. Now what you think about that? If there were no greedy heartless OPPRESSORS in the world and equal distribution of.goods and service was given out like the LORD created this world..you would not see people in the shape they are in now! Be careful how you talk about anyone because those same people might have to come to your rescue. You could get sick,.have accident and can't reach back and wipe the poop off your butt and one of them come in knowing and remembering what you said about them when they were down and out. GOD SITS high, he see and know our thoughts of good and evil. I still love you with the Joy of the Lord! You owe this young beautiful lady and.her children a forgive me.

I'm from Batesville Ms not to far from here and I wouldn't dare judge her... I'm a single mom of two 19&6 and it's not easy but I go to work everyday and thinking about getting a second job because there's things I'm trying to achieve for my girls! I lost my mom almost 5yrs ago today is her Birthday 6/5 and I still have my father 🙌 but they taught us compassion and to never ever look down on ANYBODY! Mississippi seems to be equipped to be a certain way because sometimes in these small towns it's not about what you know (education wise) it's about who you know and what you do💁... You have to live here to understand that Trust Me! My prayers go out to her and her family... God Bless you all two times fold!

Some of the comments here are really painful to read. Judgement should have no place here. Only compassion. You never know when you may find yourself on the street yourself. You, like anybody else is about 2 paychecks from poverty. There are x millionaires living on the street and standing in welfare lines now. If you took the time to understand why things are like this for quite a few people living in this United States Corporation, you wouldn't be so quick to put fellow human beings down. I'm willing to bet most of these comments come from people who claim to be Christians and going to church hooping and screaming about how saved you are. Well, maybe you need a reminder of a few quotes. "There before the Grace of God go I", "Judgement is mine says the Lord", or " I AM my brothers keeper" just to state a FEW... Really pisses me off to see and hear the complete lack of compassion for people who would just like a shot at pulling themselves up for a better way of living. Learn the truth about the politics, monetary system and who is really running this planet and maybe you'll begin to understand that the system is not nor will it ever be designed for anybody to win except the crooks who created it. Everybody is on the hit list of the federal banking system that runs this world and they control everything. If you think this can't be you next, then you better think again. Oh, and KARMA, always comes to collect from those that seem to have lost their hearts and judge others when they are at their lowest. Just when you need a hand up, you'll receive a kick in the a** instead. Really sickening !!!!

My sister lived and died in a house similar to this in Arlington Ga. We begged her throughout the years to move here to Florida so we could help her but she wouldn't come. Sadly she died at the age of 48 back in 2004. When we drove up to Georgia to get her belongings out of the house she rented the Slum Landlord had the nerve to come by to make sure we weren't taking things that he allowed my sister to use. I had to be led out of the house because I was so upset at how she chose to live. Young lady if you see this post I beg you to please get out of that town. There's better for you and your children. You just have to want it.

Exactly they are talking about her like she can help her situation but they should know it could be them at any given moment.

Not sure what all happened in her life that proceeded her current situation, but it appears that she's taking very good care of her babies (clean, fed, healthy) despite her horrible circumstances & the impact it's having on her. That's definitely a stregnth! I see a very strong, resourceful woman in her with a lot of potential, especially if she's made it this far living like this! Could you imagine if she had access to adequate resources? Transportation, a job, clean running water, etc. ...

When I was growing up we never had running water I’m not even talking about hot water, we had to go to the well with buckets to get water for drinking, cooking, washing etc. We didn’t have a car nor was there a bus line anywhere near our neighborhood but we had 2 old bikes and that’s how my parents got to work and dropped me and my sister to school. And I’m forever thankful to my parents that they managed to keep us kids and the house clean and taken care of. This was not in America and there is way more opportunities in the states now. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. God bless

Some men have ceased to be men and that is part of the reason why poverty persists in these areas. There was a time when a man would do everything in his power to support his family. The man would have at least made an attempt to patch up a house with his bare hands. Then there's the systemic element, but it ultimately falls on the men in the community.

Have some pride and dignity, it doesn't cost a penny....My mother, the most beautiful, brave, strong, loving woman I've ever known grew up in poverty. Grandparents had 16 children 2 bedroom house. Sometimes no food, no electricity, no running water....nothing but the hunger pains in their stomachs. Not to mention an abusive alcoholic father who made their live even more miserable...Especially since my grandmother allowed it.....anywhoo with that being said....what little they had it was clean, my mother said they would get water from the neighbors hose to clean, hand wash and line dry laundry, bathe and flush the toilet...not to mention keeping the outside neat and clean....My mother grew up under some pretty rough conditions with a childhood I'm sure she wishes she could forget but poverty for them never turned into filth.....My mother at 16 decided to become her own woman. She got a job, finished HS with honors. Went to college, studied nutrition, got a degree, married my father and had 4 beautiful kids.....They gave us a good life private schools, yearly vacations, birthdays, Christmas, etc,etc,etc.....My point is......you can't complain about your situation and do absolutely nothing about it...What would motivate me to help someone who refuses to even pick up trash off the floor?!?!

This young mother doesn't mention the father of her children. And my feeling is that she is also depressed. But I also wonder where is the father of her children? She shouldn't be doing this alone!! And who will help this mother pay for child care so that she can find work or go back to school! Anyone can do better with help; and she needs it! The screen door is busted... it rains inside the house... there's holes in the ceiling! It seems she lives alone and raises the children without their father and I can only surmise that this leads to depression; and too often Black women are left raising children without any help from the father. Some of these fathers are just missing in action, avoiding responsibility or locked up in jail. However, I'm also noticing how clean, well dressed, well spoken and mannered her children are. For this reason, I don't think the trash on the floor is indicative of her being a lazy and dirty person; I think she is a depressed and lonely person; and who wouldn't be under these gloomy conditions?!! I think a lot of times we make judgement calls without giving a balanced stream of thought in consideration of several things happening in a person's life at once! As poor as they are, they are making the best of their lives; the children look healthy, clean and adorable; and they are aware of the things that are wrong and surrounding them. They are outspoken about it; and their Mom is their one and only role model. Lets have a little mercy for each other.

To the people who don't understand, the system will always chose the cheaper option. Let's say she gets $1000 for rent&food assistance. If we cut those benefits until she gets into a job program, she loses her place and the kids have no food. They're forced into a shelter or maybe her kids go into foster care. If letting her be is cheaper than paying $1900 monthly to foster parents and paying a job/career counselor, they will let her be.

This woman just exploited this poor young mother for views. She could have offered her some help after seeing the way she was living.

@@1trackswanson You can't judge what you do not understand. I am from this community from which she comes, so I know the issues she faces better than you. Jonestown sits in the Mississippi Delta. The Delta is the hotbed of poverty. Look it up. Unemployment is rampant, therefore, poverty is high due to lack of employment opportunities. Her town is a little isolated community, with no public transportation, no grocery stores, hospital, and no real businesses except a few corner convenience stores and maybe a laundromat. There are a couple of churches there too. There is little room for growth here. If you don't know anyone or have support in some way, it is impossible to live here. She gets government assistance because it's the only way to survive here. And it's been this way for a very long time. Not a lot has changed since those old sharecropping days of our grandparents. This is why people who can afford to are moving away. It's for economical growth. Don't be so quick to talk down on someone when you don't know all to the situation. You even have to get pregnant here for support from the system, because the system only help people with children 💔.

She’s beautiful an has a desire to do more an her children are smart . Lots of potential for this girl an her family… Edit: this video 13 years old .. dang I wonder how it’s going for them . Never to late however

When you are in poverty in a city or metropolitan area, you still have plenty of resources available to you such as public transportation, charitable organizations that help families in need, counseling, vocational rehabilitation and a lot more. Living in poverty in a rural area is a whole nother monster and probably the most depressing thing ever. Like she just said there's no public transportation, a lot of small towns like where I'm from in ga lack government buildings for things like assistance and even something as simple as identification documentation and the closest one is a 30 min drive, and a lot of other shit. I know some people that left this same situation but the transition was a bitch and that's if you able to find a way to where you going because greyhounds don't even come to a lot of rural areas like this one. Someone in a situation like this best bet is to just pack up a few things and go to a city where you can at least get some type of help. You might be on the street a couple of days, but moving forward in this type of situation while living in the country is almost slim to none.

Hang in there sister, you still young. Things can change. We love you and keep pushing for you and your family.

I really hope after this video was done, the camera crew was able to help this family in some way find better, safer housing. This is inhumanly barbaric.

I don’t feel that bad for the situation. The landlord blessed them with somewhere to stay/live so don’t blame him. the rent is probably 200 a month. Eleven years later I believe the kids get on here and read the comments so my message to y’all is learn from y’all experience and know that blaming someone else ain’t going to help y’all. Stick with y’all’s mom like she was sticking with you. Clean up every chance you get carry yourself like you got it and feel good about yourself. Say no to drugs Love and respect your wife/husband and work comfortable and hard as you can. y’all are some beautiful people so be strong
