like you're all ghetto fights
leave my radio alone she puts her middle
finger on the off buttons
she's unbelievable sometimes
the first time i started disliking my
mom the first time she put me in the
hospital
i started disliking her when i was eight
years old
that's it i have no respect for you i
have nothing for you i don't
i love you but i don't love you like if
you were my mom you are my mom but i
don't love you like that
you you ain't nothing to me i mean if
something happens to you i'ma cry
but after a while i'm gonna get over it
i'm i'm gonna
forget you just like that
oh crystal crystal crystal i'm really
upset at crystal
she knows the rules and she um has
broken
my rules to me this is the ghetto
there's a little bit worse neighborhoods
but this is puerto rican ghetto
gangs over there gangs on the other side
gains going north
west east south we're surrounded we're
right in the middle we're in the heart
of it all
i've had to go out in the streets with
my other daughters looking for crystal
i would not want a police officer to
come knocking at my door telling me
we need you to come and identify this
body
that's my biggest concern with crystal
okay
they're using the word grievance does
anybody know what the word grievance
means
because that's a big word grieving when
you have a grievance what does that mean
oh no put it in your terms for me go
ahead
think about it skills for handling a
grievance
i don't plan to run away it just happens
i'll be
with a male or a female and it'll be
nine o'clock
like 9 30 i have to be home by 10 and
they'll just be like just sleep over and
i'll be okay that's it
and when i sleep over um i'm not going
back home
so then i don't go back home and i just
stay out until i get caught
crystal this is your mom if you get this
message at least
text me and let me know you're okay bye
if i look at my call log i've been
calling her since
8 45 this morning she said i'm just
gonna go hang out with my friend
and then later i'll be back for report
card pickup
no crystal damaris
come on we have to go to crystal school
and get her report card
we're not gonna wait for crystal doesn't
help
and here we are amount of fear they're
gonna look at me like
oh here comes crystal's mother i'm
always worried of
what do they think of me due to
crystal's behavior
i worry that people feel that what is
her mother not doing that this child
behaves in this manner
and that's sad because the first thing
that people look at is what type of
mother does this child have that
she can't even control her own daughter
i want you to listen to me you're being
disobedient
do you want to be in this school do you
want to come to this school
i don't think you want to come to the
school look you have to see him every
morning
she'll just roam the hall and goes where
she wants to oh okay
very defining huh yeah she can be very
defined she could be very defiant um
this is her work
but like i said she misses my test so
that's probably why grade was as low as
it was in science
and she tells me she was doing so well
okay that's pretty much we don't have
the greatest before
so okay that's that's the biggest i can
tell you about crystal
so
just look at this you really get to see
what goes on in the bus
no no no no tamara sit over there while
i when
mommy watches this look at your sister
but she's not thinking she's talking
with a lot of anger issues
she acts like this all the time
and all these kids are all angry look at
that this is
every single kid there their mouth is
filthy
this is terrible when she gets
frustrated with the teacher or mad about
something
she will have a tendency to walk out
crystal is someone who needs some
outside activities so whatever type of
outside activities
that you can get her engaged in i took
her to the ymca
and she refused to let me sign her up
but it's getting her
engaged in some positive activities
so she'll stay away from the next
negativity all right
is she going to transition to a regular
school
and not yet you don't see that okay
come on damaris you're misbehaving
you're giving me a hard time
let's go sit back there crystal has not
attempted at all to text or call me
where is crystal what is she doing who
is she with
this is where i feel i have no control
over my child
and it's not a very good feeling
my name is agustin bartolo and i'm 12
years old
i was born with hemophilia and senior
cinderella
my the new name for
me they made up which i don't care
is too faced
i'm gonna be at the hospital almost
every day and
when kids mess with me i just go like
angry i don't think about my actions
i just go off like a monster
yourself
so this is the mri of your brain right
here
and you can see the higher areas of the
brain right here
all this that you can see here the white
part that's bone
which is overgrown okay
okay actually the right eye is
moved forward so the number one risk
is losing vision during the surgery from
that right eye
there could be a damage to the carotid
artery
and as a result he can have a stroke he
can have massive bleeding during the
surgery
if we don't do it it can just get worse
and cause blindness and he might have to
later on have the left side
uh operated on as well i'm also scared
of like
my life i might pass away
the risk of you passing away during the
surgery is much much less
okay it's a definitely a serious surgery
think it over
there's a lot to consider
okay all right you guys
it's scary but you got to be brave
just what are some of the things that
concerned you that he said
dying
i gotta be in mr mac and reading
i'll see in science and be
in art how
it took me like um like two weeks
i mean maybe we are far we can see that
sky
i see the skyline it look beautiful
when it was my first day here i was
scared because i heard that this school
was
like a bad boy school
but now that school has helped me a lot
with my anger issues now that i know how
to ignore
people when they talk about me
i just let that go
this is my daughter she's been missing
for a week if you see her could you
please call that number
hey have you seen her no no
all my life i want to be a gang chief
once i got to the top
my friend started dying around me the
same place y'all headed
if y'all don't take control of
yourselves man
