1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,240
so very welcome back to my travel diaries

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:17,580
there's something I wanted to share that is not really connected to the traveling itself that

3
00:00:17,580 --> 00:00:23,440
occurred while traveling or while living on the canary islands and then started to travel again

4
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:32,220
and regarding education and yeah how you treat your kids i wanted to share that story it's quite

5
00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:38,780
dark i mean the last time i shared a dark story about this educational project on the canary

6
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:47,140
islands that was quite dark as well um but this is just the truth what i experienced on the canary

7
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:58,200
islands is a lot of yeah child abuse pedophilia that is covered up and the social workers or the

8
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:04,940
social yeah the system that is there for protecting kids is looking somewhere else

9
00:01:04,940 --> 00:01:11,180
and mostly at the people who are not sending the kids to school um so i wanted to share that story

10
00:01:11,180 --> 00:01:19,260
to yeah because i really think i learned a lot from it how our system works and where the child

11
00:01:19,260 --> 00:01:30,700
protection services look closer and where they really close all the eyes um and another thing

12
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:43,940
that really yeah I learned how to step back from what I want to say and to do for children yeah for

13
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:51,200
not only my kids health and well-being but for another kids well-being as well and what I also

14
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:59,680
learned about from the stories really believe people when they say they must treat their kids

15
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:09,620
and because I didn't so I never took action and so what I think is that after you you hear the

16
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:16,700
story I'm gonna tell you I felt like I took action way too late but I didn't have the whole picture

17
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:25,940
and I always had the feeling of in general that this family is a very loving supporting family

18
00:02:25,940 --> 00:02:30,980
that has here and there some problems which is okay because every family has the issues

19
00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:39,080
but it didn't took it serious enough and to be honest the solution there's there's no

20
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:46,960
no solution still not so i'm gonna tell you this is about one kid that went to this free school

21
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:54,080
with my kid they became best friends i think early 2020 they became best friends and they still are

22
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:09,360
and yeah so I got to know his mom quite well over the years and she yeah I never had the feeling

23
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,160
that we were friends or anything because just because our kids are friends doesn't

24
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:21,240
mean that I need to be friends with his mom or anything and to be honest I never liked her

25
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:27,040
boyfriend that much because I really thought that he has some kind of crazy sexual vibe that I didn't

26
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:34,260
really want wanted to entertain and I think it's always a bit weird when you go over someone's place

27
00:03:34,260 --> 00:03:39,740
to yeah so the kids can play and you sit there like oh my god this is uncomfortable

28
00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:48,720
so what I really I really did was that we invited this kid over to our place all the time and my

29
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,460
kid never went there and there were a couple of kids who were never allowed to go there because

30
00:03:54,460 --> 00:04:00,520
the parents were so weird um at the beginning I didn't really figure out what it was but over the

31
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:06,240
years even though I wasn't in close contact with them through what the kid told me and what I

32
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:12,940
learned from the few interactions I had with them was like really giving me a better picture of what

33
00:04:12,940 --> 00:04:23,080
happened there um so this kid spent more time with us than with his actual family in the last years

34
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:34,220
um for me it was quite normal that as and yeah it was a bit difficult to deal with his mom

35
00:04:34,220 --> 00:04:41,140
I always had the feeling like she's a narcissist and she needs to be in charge so I never was like

36
00:04:41,140 --> 00:04:48,360
does your son want to come over to play it was it always needed to be her idea and she had a lot

37
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:57,980
of ideas she um her main focus was to entertain her boyfriend because he was entertaining her

38
00:04:57,980 --> 00:05:03,000
lifestyle with money and it's not it wasn't a crazy lifestyle but if you don't want to work

39
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,480
money has to to flow anyway so somebody has to go to work you know what i mean so entertaining

40
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:17,120
this person who is working but not in a loving way it was more in a yeah

41
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:26,820
some people want to call it energy vampire way i would i would call it the same the same time it's

42
00:05:26,820 --> 00:05:35,800
yeah a narcissist who is who wants to stay in church so what i really um experienced the last

43
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,380
couple of weeks because we took this boy on our journey from the Canary Islands to the south of

44
00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:50,800
Spain to Portugal he never really told me I mean he told us a lot about what was going on at home

45
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:57,420
but I thought these were like short episodes and in between they have a really nice relationship

46
00:05:57,420 --> 00:06:04,300
but what I learned while traveling and I think the distance made it way easier for him to tell

47
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:12,240
everything was that there is no loving episodes in between the disgusting episodes that really

48
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,420
fucked me up because I always was in yeah maybe I was in denial maybe I wasn't

49
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:26,660
informed enough about the circumstances I mean this kid has no health insurance no

50
00:06:26,660 --> 00:06:29,100
he doesn't have his own room and

51
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:35,500
they live in a cave and I think in different circumstances

52
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:43,880
this could be so so beautiful you know what I mean like wow could be a happy life but if you

53
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,320
see the other side of of the story is the mom loves drugs

54
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,980
what's more important is the sexual satisfaction of her boyfriend

55
00:06:53,980 --> 00:07:05,600
and really yeah she's not focusing on her kid her kid is a is not an asset it's a liability for her

56
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:12,880
and when she split up with her last boyfriend who was entertaining her lifestyle

57
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,540
and as I told you the last episode this free school was quite expensive

58
00:07:17,540 --> 00:07:24,940
she didn't have the money to entertain that school anymore so she decided that

59
00:07:24,940 --> 00:07:33,380
the kid needs to go to a regular school so she has time for herself which is i think in some

60
00:07:33,380 --> 00:07:39,700
families i do really understand if you have a lot going on you need time for yourself and to

61
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:44,660
work and all these things but she you she uses she's using this time to sleep in

62
00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:53,120
so the kid has to wake up at i think 5 30 makes himself breakfast and we're not talking about a

63
00:07:53,120 --> 00:08:01,140
16 year old here we're talking about a 10 year old 11 12 year old boy then he's in charge of feeding

64
00:08:01,140 --> 00:08:08,020
the dogs and the chickens the cats he's in charge of medical treatment of the animals

65
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:16,820
and then he would be picked up by bus but he had to go uphill for 30 minutes before even being near

66
00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:24,020
the bus stop because these people really live in the nowhere of nowhere nowhere and the mom didn't

67
00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:31,520
bother to drive him to school at all so he had to take the bus um going to school and he was bullied

68
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:38,500
in school because he was white he is white and a lot of things he didn't really feel comfortable

69
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:45,520
over there there was no support system for him and although he really explained this to his mom

70
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:51,420
she was always like in for no you have to go there i need to have the time at home so she got up when

71
00:08:51,420 --> 00:08:58,800
he got back from school he was organizing everything and there was there it's not a home with

72
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:08,440
lovely cooked meals or bedtime stories or movie night or you know what i mean it's more like

73
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:15,360
she's doing her things she's treating herself and everyone else comes last

74
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:25,280
yeah so this is what i learned from just having this boy over for so many many many days

75
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:32,880
I would say yeah he became part of our family quite quite fast the I don't know after a couple

76
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:40,900
of months he asked me if he can call me mom and I was like dude I can't allow that because

77
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:49,140
just imagine your mom finds out then we are both in a very weird position although I feel

78
00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:57,160
that you're part of our family I can be something like your aunt but your mom that is quite something

79
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:03,900
else so he was really longing for for a parent all the time and this broke my heart because

80
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:11,020
sometimes she would send him over with like 20 bucks to buy shoes in town I mean why do I have

81
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:18,340
to do this with with with her kid but I never complained and I'm absolutely not like that

82
00:10:18,340 --> 00:10:26,160
normally I would tell this person to fuck off but I really really like that kid so I kept it shut

83
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:32,020
because I knew if I tell her to fuck off because I did it one time the kids weren't allowed to see

84
00:10:32,020 --> 00:10:37,820
each other anymore so I kept quiet I went to town of course I paid for the shoes what are what kind

85
00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:45,100
of shoes I gonna buy for 20 bucks but she knew about it and she always played like the victim

86
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:52,940
and you know for most or for all other friendships and families and parents

87
00:10:52,940 --> 00:11:00,900
this was so true that there's a balance some days the kids come over to my house i buy food i do

88
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:08,560
adventures i'm the entertainer i'm the clown i'm the coacher and some other days my kid goes over

89
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:16,060
their house and stays over there and it's a support system you know and with this mom she never did

90
00:11:16,060 --> 00:11:25,140
anything for my son it was never in any means balanced but I liked it like that because I would

91
00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:31,580
never allow my child to go there and she was always like oh I would love to help you out and

92
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:38,500
I would love to support you and of course this was a lie because if she would like to support

93
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:46,840
me just give you a kid like 20 bucks a week if he's staying over four of seven days every week

94
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:56,060
and in the end I felt like I was I took over more responsibility for her child than she did

95
00:11:56,060 --> 00:12:15,735
and sometimes if she didn feel like asking me for help if her son can stay over at my place because she wanted to entertain her boyfriend Sometimes this boy had to sleep over at random people place she met like random people she met like old dudes

96
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:23,815
people with drinking problems and one day he came over and he was like, I really don't want to do

97
00:12:23,815 --> 00:12:29,375
this anymore, can you tell my mom to stop sending me over to these people and I was like, dude,

98
00:12:29,375 --> 00:12:36,695
if I knew I would have told her the very first second but I really think the big problem is if

99
00:12:36,695 --> 00:12:45,115
kids don't know other lifestyles they think it's normal and through spending so much time with us

100
00:12:45,115 --> 00:12:51,775
he told me that he discovered this is not normal and he has the right to say what he wants and

101
00:12:51,775 --> 00:12:58,535
doesn't want and to complain and to demand to be in safe places instead of being dragged around

102
00:12:58,535 --> 00:13:08,595
as she prefers um so i really think her kid always came last with everything um one time he

103
00:13:08,595 --> 00:13:15,395
discovered like self-made porn and he was so young he was like uh alex i saw something on

104
00:13:15,395 --> 00:13:24,695
the tablet i mean he had he basically owns nothing this time he didn't even own a mobile phone which

105
00:13:24,695 --> 00:13:31,555
is nice if it's a loving family you know but this was just he didn't have devices because they didn't

106
00:13:31,555 --> 00:13:38,915
care about him enough and he was like i saw something going in and out of my mom's ass and

107
00:13:38,915 --> 00:13:45,875
i was like oh my god what the fuck um and she's not a beauty queen so i was like dudes

108
00:13:45,875 --> 00:13:54,375
why this is disturbing even i didn't see this disturbing my soul was crumbling so

109
00:13:54,375 --> 00:14:02,695
these kind of things i think um it's a funny incident if the child is old enough to understand

110
00:14:02,695 --> 00:14:14,515
and to to yeah digest it in this age um more harmful than anything else and if there if he

111
00:14:14,515 --> 00:14:22,295
is not allowed to have any voice and if there's no support yeah it's i think it's really hard on

112
00:14:22,295 --> 00:14:31,535
a kid to to guide through life to navigate himself through life because where to where is

113
00:14:31,535 --> 00:14:40,855
where's the middle line you know I think it's quite hard so um it's yeah what I mentioned in

114
00:14:40,855 --> 00:14:46,235
the beginning that you should believe if people tell you that they abuse their kids or mistreat

115
00:14:46,235 --> 00:14:53,255
their kids I remember that sometimes she wanted to give me like advice on parenting because she

116
00:14:53,255 --> 00:15:01,275
thought I'm not a really good mom because I do have a really close relationship with my boy and

117
00:15:01,275 --> 00:15:06,955
we do a lot of nice things going on adventures camping and all these things and I do laugh a lot

118
00:15:06,955 --> 00:15:13,075
with these kids and I do want to support their dreams and learn about their dreams and ideas

119
00:15:13,075 --> 00:15:19,575
and all these things and she always thought that I spent too much time with the kids and I should

120
00:15:19,575 --> 00:15:26,615
yeah look for a boyfriend and yeah I always thought like I can do this when I'm done with

121
00:15:26,615 --> 00:15:35,655
parenting my child was way too young to yeah I thought that this wouldn't be the right

122
00:15:35,655 --> 00:15:43,375
situation or our circumstances weren't like i wanted to invite someone else into our family

123
00:15:43,375 --> 00:15:50,175
um i felt pretty complete at that point so i didn't feel the need to go out and hunt

124
00:15:50,175 --> 00:15:58,335
and i really think it has something to do with stability and yeah how much you really need others

125
00:15:58,335 --> 00:16:04,375
in your life and i i didn't have the feeling that i need a man to support my life so she always

126
00:16:04,375 --> 00:16:13,155
thought that's yeah disgusting and yeah that I'm not doing well on parenting um she really

127
00:16:13,155 --> 00:16:20,315
told me that she's beating up her child once in a while and that she's calling him names like

128
00:16:20,315 --> 00:16:28,555
pretty aggressive names and I shrugged it off somehow I was like yeah I don't I don't really

129
00:16:28,555 --> 00:16:36,475
believe it's that bad I maybe thought that she's exaggerating a lot because I mean I could see that

130
00:16:36,475 --> 00:16:46,255
they have like a weird relationship the two of them but somehow I didn't believe it I believe

131
00:16:46,255 --> 00:16:55,095
that yeah she had a couple of beers too much and she lashed out maybe I don't know a couple of times

132
00:16:55,095 --> 00:17:02,355
in her life or something like that that's not something i wouldn't go to the authorities and

133
00:17:02,355 --> 00:17:08,855
tell them because i know that the solutions over there are not really better you know so i was

134
00:17:08,855 --> 00:17:17,895
always in a conflict of how much do i let her talk shit about me um my kid my parenting style

135
00:17:17,895 --> 00:17:23,015
because it's a small island of course everyone is gonna tell you what she tells

136
00:17:23,015 --> 00:17:31,475
it is just crazy and how much am I gonna believe what she tells me about her parenting style

137
00:17:31,475 --> 00:17:37,075
and what do I believe what the kid tells me but the kid was very quiet for years

138
00:17:37,075 --> 00:17:45,695
he didn't really tell me a lot so um I always thought that he is overly hungry when he's coming

139
00:17:45,695 --> 00:17:53,075
over but of course if she's never cooking or she's only cooking for herself and her boyfriend

140
00:17:53,075 --> 00:18:01,195
and the kid is not allowed to touch the fridge at all and there's no money to buy good food or food

141
00:18:01,195 --> 00:18:09,795
in quantities that kids need yeah I do I can explain it now but back then I had to really

142
00:18:09,795 --> 00:18:17,355
pick up the breadcrumbs to form the bread now I see the bread but back then it was like

143
00:18:17,355 --> 00:18:25,735
yeah I didn't spend too much time with her so I didn't really understand I started to really

144
00:18:25,735 --> 00:18:32,175
understand like one and a half years ago when I've been washing their finca for a week because

145
00:18:32,175 --> 00:18:38,495
what I found really weird about that woman was that she never had any friends and she was always

146
00:18:38,495 --> 00:18:43,275
hated by everyone who spent time with her more than a couple of days because she was always

147
00:18:43,275 --> 00:18:49,195
inviting people to live on her land to help her maintain the land and stuff by the way it's not

148
00:18:49,195 --> 00:18:56,595
even her land she lives there illegally and tries to inherit it because it's from her dad father

149
00:18:56,595 --> 00:19:05,735
but without telling her brother to because he's she says he's already rich enough he doesn't need

150
00:19:05,735 --> 00:19:14,955
to be involved so she's living there illegally and she's not very yeah she doesn't like to work

151
00:19:14,955 --> 00:19:21,755
so she always invited people to live there to let them work and everyone always left so angry at her

152
00:19:21,755 --> 00:19:27,795
and after a couple of years I met so and so many people with the same story like she's

153
00:19:27,795 --> 00:19:33,355
abusive she's a narcissist she's abusing other people too she's beating her dogs she's beating

154
00:19:33,355 --> 00:19:38,795
her own mom and these kind of things in the beginning you're like people talk a lot shit

155
00:19:38,795 --> 00:19:47,335
about everyone so might be i don't know rage or anything yeah but after a couple of years

156
00:19:47,335 --> 00:19:53,635
when it's always the same stories it's like okay this seems to be a pattern but it is what it is

157
00:19:53,635 --> 00:20:04,295
yeah where did i stop i don't even remember yeah so um i think where i stopped was that

158
00:20:04,295 --> 00:20:14,575
over the years more and more of the details came out and yeah she then had a new boyfriend and i

159
00:20:14,575 --> 00:20:19,915
thought okay maybe now the situation is changing again maybe he's a support system for the child

160
00:20:19,915 --> 00:20:25,895
because he seemed very friendly i met him only a couple of times mostly when they were tripping

161
00:20:25,895 --> 00:20:35,155
on lsd and stepping by and i hated it so much like dude i'm here chilling living my life

162
00:20:35,155 --> 00:20:40,855
with some random people coming over telling me about how they want to invite

163
00:20:40,855 --> 00:20:49,595
monks to live in their cave and the crazy part is they had all these ideas about a nudist

164
00:20:49,595 --> 00:20:58,815
camp nudist um yeah airbnb style and they never achieved any of this ideas it always get downhill

165
00:20:58,815 --> 00:21:05,355
and more downhill with more downhill but never uphill so in the beginning when you meet people

166
00:21:05,355 --> 00:21:10,935
and they're so ambitious like yeah let's build this we want to build that it's beautiful to see

167
00:21:10,935 --> 00:21:16,615
and then you see like oh my god nothing ever happens over there so what the fuck

168
00:21:16,615 --> 00:21:25,735
yeah so um one of the reasons i stayed so long on the kenrya islands was clearly the friendship

169
00:21:25,735 --> 00:21:34,135
between those two kids because they were really really close more like yeah family than anything

170
00:21:34,135 --> 00:21:44,255
else um yeah the weird thing was really when i um decided to to leave the island and i booked the

171
00:21:44,255 --> 00:21:50,675
fairy i immediately immediately wasn't able anymore to be friendly to this woman i really

172
00:21:50,675 --> 00:22:00,835
swallowed all my pride every time i met her and being friendly and providing her with some kind of

173
00:22:00,835 --> 00:22:08,015
yeah it's not friendship but social stability to make her feel safe to make her feel like

174
00:22:08,015 --> 00:22:18,775
yeah that we have some kind of connection so she would send over her kid to to our place and

175
00:22:18,775 --> 00:22:25,735
so everything could go on because she always needed to feel in charge of me of my time

176
00:22:25,735 --> 00:22:33,175
and it was never like yeah is it okay if he comes over friday at 12 is what it was more like yeah

177
00:22:33,175 --> 00:22:39,915
Friday three o'clock he will be there and he needs to be back this and then and then and then

178
00:22:39,915 --> 00:22:47,835
and it was always my job to pick up the kid and to bring him home and she never paid any cent for

179
00:22:47,835 --> 00:22:55,895
food or gas or anything and this is okay because I knew about the circumstances but

180
00:22:55,895 --> 00:23:04,475
in never ever in any other relationship in my life I would allow that that is just crazy but

181
00:23:04,475 --> 00:23:13,715
I really felt like I'm as a human being responsible for yeah providing a safe space for this kid

182
00:23:13,715 --> 00:23:20,375
and he was really also asking me for yeah can you pick me up please otherwise I have to go by bus

183
00:23:20,375 --> 00:23:25,775
for two hours or I have to walk for two hours or she's dropping me off at this place and then I

184
00:23:25,775 --> 00:23:31,955
have to walk and wait and it's a small island there are not so many not so many buses not so

185
00:23:31,955 --> 00:23:40,615
much infrastructure and she didn't care about it basically yeah so he went I invited him as a

186
00:23:40,615 --> 00:23:48,055
goodbye present so to say to go with us to Lanzarote for two weeks for some vacation because this

187
00:23:48,055 --> 00:23:57,735
boy never went on vacation ever he went on like trips to germany in their camping van or in their

188
00:23:57,735 --> 00:24:04,575
car and he said like it was always horrible because he his birthday is in summer and they

189
00:24:04,575 --> 00:24:26,550
always went to germany in the summer and every birthday was a fuck up and the last birthday he spent in bed in the caravan and in the camping and needed to listen to sex noises

190
00:24:26,550 --> 00:24:34,550
I cannot describe how disturbing this is. But anyway, it is what it is.

191
00:24:34,550 --> 00:24:43,270
um yes so he came with us to Lanzarote and the distance really made him feel safe to tell me

192
00:24:43,270 --> 00:24:50,450
about how she tried to kill him several times how she's tried to beat one of the dogs to death

193
00:24:50,450 --> 00:24:57,450
how she's in general beating everything and everyone her ex-boyfriend her ex-boyfriend's

194
00:24:57,450 --> 00:25:04,350
dog her ex-boyfriend split up with her because of all the beating he always tried to

195
00:25:04,350 --> 00:25:12,030
be there for the kid and shield the kid and keep the kid safe and he did a really good job and then

196
00:25:12,030 --> 00:25:20,710
I understood why he called him dad after just a couple of weeks that he knew him and he still does

197
00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:29,070
he he says he's his dad because he protected him from his mom that is sad and that changed my

198
00:25:29,070 --> 00:25:33,070
relationship with this dude because I always felt like he's over sexual and

199
00:25:33,070 --> 00:25:39,450
that makes sense if you are over sexual and you meet a woman who is delivering

200
00:25:39,450 --> 00:25:46,350
and the only thing she wants is money for like basic necessities like food and

201
00:25:46,350 --> 00:25:53,250
clothes that's an easy trade I would say that is what it is and he really fell in

202
00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:58,110
love with that little boy so they are still in contact and he's still and he

203
00:25:58,110 --> 00:26:05,710
is a dad he has three kids so he suffered so much by not being able to change the family situation

204
00:26:05,710 --> 00:26:15,550
for the better that he left and yeah so basically before we left to lanzarote um his mom was like

205
00:26:15,550 --> 00:26:21,310
yeah can you please take the kid to spain and portugal as well and i was like of course i can

206
00:26:21,310 --> 00:26:28,430
because we love him we would spend our lives with him and she was basically like begging me to take

207
00:26:28,430 --> 00:26:35,870
him because her current her actual like at the moment boyfriend he spent a couple of months in

208
00:26:35,870 --> 00:26:43,290
austria to work to come back with a yeah bag of money to support the family over the winter

209
00:26:43,290 --> 00:26:51,210
and she said yeah he's coming home soon and she really wants to spend some some quality time with

210
00:26:51,210 --> 00:26:56,090
with him and all these things so i'm like yeah that's the worst situation you you can imagine

211
00:26:56,090 --> 00:27:05,030
for your kid like uh vacation time no school every day at home basically trapped in a yeah place far

212
00:27:05,030 --> 00:27:11,230
away from everyone as where you need at least one and a half hours by foot to meet someone decent

213
00:27:11,230 --> 00:27:19,430
in in a little village trapped there with your abusive mom and her abusive boyfriend so i was

214
00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:27,210
like of course you can come with us no problem um back then I didn't know the dude was abusive as

215
00:27:27,210 --> 00:27:35,590
well but I I figured that the mom really is not the best mom and it's better for him to spend there

216
00:27:35,590 --> 00:27:44,610
to spend his vacation time with us traveling then with her at home and normally I would never think

217
00:27:44,610 --> 00:27:50,730
that I'm I always think that kids belong to their parents and that it's weird if they really want to

218
00:27:50,730 --> 00:27:58,870
spend weeks and weeks on end with other families like what the fuck but anyway so uh on Lanzarota

219
00:27:58,870 --> 00:28:05,570
he really felt like he could tell us everything and it got deeper and deeper and weirder and

220
00:28:05,570 --> 00:28:09,750
darker and I was like dude what am I gonna do now that I have all these information

221
00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:17,010
it broke my heart and he was like can I stay with you and I was like dude I would adopt you

222
00:28:17,010 --> 00:28:26,250
right now if I had the chance but it's not that easy unfortunately so he started to research and

223
00:28:26,250 --> 00:28:33,030
to work with chat GPT and other AIs to really find out the laws and how to protect himself

224
00:28:33,030 --> 00:28:40,170
what laws she's breaking and he collected all of these things and he found out that she could end

225
00:28:40,170 --> 00:28:47,570
up in prison for 23 years which is hilarious and she could lose custody and how much yeah all these

226
00:28:47,570 --> 00:28:54,030
details it was very interesting because I wasn't the driving force behind this because I was still

227
00:28:54,030 --> 00:28:58,490
in shock I was like dude okay what are we gonna do with all this information how can we help you

228
00:28:58,490 --> 00:29:05,670
I don't know let's find a lawyer and talk to him her whatever and he was already in action mode

229
00:29:05,670 --> 00:29:14,410
every day researching about yeah different mental disorders that could apply to his mom and all

230
00:29:14,410 --> 00:29:24,370
these things and it was quite deep because I remember one story where she invited someone

231
00:29:24,370 --> 00:29:33,150
to her place to stay and work and this dude dropped off the kid at our place and I had the feeling

232
00:29:33,150 --> 00:29:40,070
like I know him from somewhere and I know the car but I didn't really it didn't ring a bell so to

233
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:45,590
say it was just like a little tingling noise in the back of my head and I was like that is weird

234
00:29:45,590 --> 00:29:54,350
um so my best friend came over and I told her and she was like dude isn't there a child molester

235
00:29:54,350 --> 00:30:01,870
the police is searching for in this area and I was like oh yes it is him so I've been

236
00:30:01,870 --> 00:30:07,870
looking through all my chats and searching for the picture of the van and the dude

237
00:30:07,870 --> 00:30:16,470
and I was like this is him and I showed all the evidence to the mom and she was neglecting it she

238
00:30:16,470 --> 00:30:23,310
was like yeah maybe it's not him and it was the same fucking car and the same day there was a

239
00:30:23,310 --> 00:30:31,790
party at their yeah land and I needed to bring back the kid so I did I went down there with my

240
00:30:31,790 --> 00:30:37,510
best friend to see the situation for myself to see the dude again to see the van again because it's

241
00:30:37,510 --> 00:30:44,930
not an easy thing to tell this is a child molester he's uh the police wants him you're not doing this

242
00:30:44,930 --> 00:30:52,490
like every day so I went down there and we checked out the van checked out the dude and it is it was

243
00:30:52,490 --> 00:30:59,030
in so we showed all the evidence to her again and she was like yeah whatever she was too drunk to

244
00:30:59,030 --> 00:31:07,990
whatever high on drugs and I maybe I'm an asshole because I never drink I'm I love plant medicine

245
00:31:07,990 --> 00:31:14,710
but I think there's room for everything and there's a place for everything and so I was like

246
00:31:14,710 --> 00:31:20,210
yeah you have such a great time over here you want it you want me to take the kid maybe you

247
00:31:20,210 --> 00:31:27,510
want to like party somewhere blah blah and planted it in her head like it's her need to

248
00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:32,470
have free time because i really had a bad feeling leaving this kid down there

249
00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:36,910
in the middle of nowhere with the drunk people and this child molester

250
00:31:36,910 --> 00:31:42,510
so she was like yeah i wanted to ask you anyways i was like oh thank god

251
00:31:42,510 --> 00:31:49,050
and of course the kids didn't know the funny thing is the story came up in lazzarote

252
00:31:49,050 --> 00:31:55,990
because the kid found out himself and he was asking me if it was true and I had to confirm it

253
00:31:55,990 --> 00:32:03,510
and it broke his heart because this woman his mom made him spend time with this dude

254
00:32:03,510 --> 00:32:10,030
a lot because he lived there for two or three weeks on their land and she left him alone with

255
00:32:10,030 --> 00:32:18,450
this dude a lot of times and she basically knew that he was a child molester and the police was

256
00:32:18,450 --> 00:32:25,290
looking for him and me and my best friend we went to the police to report

257
00:32:25,290 --> 00:32:29,950
where this dude is the problem is the police didn't really get active they were

258
00:32:29,950 --> 00:32:35,770
like yeah the owner of the land has to give us permission to to go there and to

259
00:32:35,770 --> 00:32:39,710
check it out but the owner was dead first of all and the lady who's living

260
00:32:39,710 --> 00:32:45,250
there yeah she this woman wasn't interested at all in letting the police

261
00:32:45,250 --> 00:32:54,330
on her land um yeah so a very fucked up situation in the end the dude fled the island because the

262
00:32:54,330 --> 00:33:01,270
knit was like the the net was yeah it was becoming tighter the situation wasn't uh comfortable

263
00:33:01,270 --> 00:33:06,490
yeah i'm out here molesting kids situation anymore it was like oh my god the police is coming closer

264
00:33:06,490 --> 00:33:13,230
situation but she never helped the police in any way to to get the dude although she knew about it

265
00:33:13,230 --> 00:33:21,610
and she up to this day she's denying it and there are at least 10 people that can confirm that she

266
00:33:21,610 --> 00:33:28,970
was two times she was told who this dude is she was sent all the evidence the police contacted her

267
00:33:28,970 --> 00:33:34,870
to to go there and check it out she denied it and she let him spend time with her child so

268
00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:40,110
i think this was the breaking point for the kid because he really had a breakdown

269
00:33:40,110 --> 00:33:46,970
in the middle of we were drinking coffee i mean you know how this is sometimes things just need

270
00:33:46,970 --> 00:33:52,030
to get out when they get out and we were in town in lanzarote in a very small village we love so

271
00:33:52,030 --> 00:33:57,670
much they have great coffee you can sit in the sun and there's a cat we know for years we've been

272
00:33:57,670 --> 00:34:02,670
visiting that place and she always comes to us and sits with us in the sun so we wanted to visit

273
00:34:02,670 --> 00:34:10,350
that cat as well and as we were sitting there he was just like dude I have to ask you and I was

274
00:34:10,350 --> 00:34:17,050
like okay let's do it let's go this down this rabbit hole and it was really um traumatized he

275
00:34:17,050 --> 00:34:21,690
was crying so much and he was like I can never go back there she knew it all the time and

276
00:34:21,690 --> 00:34:29,670
she let it happen and these kind of things and yeah then was the starting point for his research and

277
00:34:29,670 --> 00:34:39,810
basically when we um yeah i think when we were in portugal then he was like confronting his mom

278
00:34:39,810 --> 00:34:47,810
about that he's never gonna go back home that he is uh yeah moving to his father's place he

279
00:34:47,810 --> 00:34:55,590
lives in germany and it wasn't easy for him he was crying a lot and he needed a lot of support

280
00:34:55,590 --> 00:35:03,110
and we went to a lawyer here we went to the embassy there to next lawyer next embassy

281
00:35:03,110 --> 00:35:11,890
social workers child protection service to the hospital to really gather evidence of what

282
00:35:11,890 --> 00:35:18,950
happened and to have proof and to have support and yeah but she's she's a very

283
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:24,690
yeah she didn't want to lose her face i would want to say because on the telephone she always

284
00:35:24,690 --> 00:35:29,010
told him I never want to see you back here such a disgusting disgrace and all

285
00:35:29,010 --> 00:35:34,130
the things you can imagine people like this tell her their kids then if the

286
00:35:34,130 --> 00:35:40,190
curtain is falling and in front of the authorities she yeah she played the

287
00:35:40,190 --> 00:35:44,150
loving mother I don't know why he's doing this I always supported him and

288
00:35:44,150 --> 00:35:49,110
everything yeah she told him she never wants to see him again and in front of

289
00:35:49,110 --> 00:35:57,110
the authorities she's now fighting to get him back it's somehow delusional he had to go back to

290
00:35:57,110 --> 00:36:06,690
la palma but he organized himself which is hilarious because she um yeah she reported me

291
00:36:06,690 --> 00:36:15,270
to the police for a child for kidnapping basically she signed all the papers that he's that i'm

292
00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:33,905
Legally taking him on vacations here and there and stuff so it never she never got through with it because I bought the tickets back to La Palma because I had to and the yeah how

293
00:36:33,905 --> 00:36:38,965
do I say this so basically I organized the ticket back to La Palma for him

294
00:36:38,965 --> 00:36:45,685
because this is a situation that has to be solved where he lives and not a

295
00:36:45,685 --> 00:36:53,945
of Portugal unfortunately um and if I would have more support here I would maybe have tried to

296
00:36:53,945 --> 00:37:03,605
yeah try to solve it from here but to solve it from Portugal it is it is quite difficult and I

297
00:37:03,605 --> 00:37:09,665
have way too much on my plate to to have this big responsibility that puts me in much other danger

298
00:37:09,665 --> 00:37:15,105
as well so she didn't really follow yeah she wasn't able to follow through with this kidnapping

299
00:37:15,105 --> 00:37:23,265
story because I had all the papers signed by her and all the things pointed out and the kid doesn't

300
00:37:23,265 --> 00:37:30,385
want to be there anymore so that was quite important that he decided to call the police in

301
00:37:30,385 --> 00:37:37,005
La Palma that they would pick him up at the airport to bring him to child protection service

302
00:37:37,005 --> 00:37:44,085
he's still there he's living there since a couple of weeks now probably for a couple of more months

303
00:37:44,085 --> 00:37:51,905
and he's really fighting for his dad to get custody he was able to testify in court he went

304
00:37:51,905 --> 00:38:01,845
to hospital there's proof of abuse and neglect and the bad part is that the mother is really

305
00:38:01,845 --> 00:38:10,925
playing the lovely victim mom in front of the authorities and most of the social system workers

306
00:38:10,925 --> 00:38:19,105
do believe her which is crazy in my eyes because there's evidence for abuse he has

307
00:38:19,105 --> 00:38:27,485
he has um people to testify um he has so many witnesses and

308
00:38:27,485 --> 00:38:33,725
which kid in his right right mind would prefer living in a

309
00:38:33,725 --> 00:38:39,645
yeah child protection house i don't even know what's called in english the english term like

310
00:38:39,645 --> 00:38:50,285
he's living in a yeah i don't know it's just crazy living in this uh yeah child protection

311
00:38:50,285 --> 00:38:55,345
house it's really child protection because nobody is allowed to know the know the address and stuff

312
00:38:55,345 --> 00:39:01,705
like that he's not allowed to go out by himself a lot of weird kids around them around him anyway

313
00:39:01,705 --> 00:39:11,645
so this is an ongoing battle and yeah in the end what really cracked me up when I

314
00:39:11,645 --> 00:39:23,485
wasn't able to play this yeah she always referred to me as her best friend in front of other people

315
00:39:23,485 --> 00:39:32,645
to make her look good because yeah it's always good to have a person who who's liked by other

316
00:39:32,645 --> 00:39:38,625
persons as your best friend but she always treated me like a piece of shit i think the

317
00:39:38,625 --> 00:39:45,105
the moment i lost it completely for the very first time with her that i really put some boundaries

318
00:39:45,105 --> 00:39:53,765
was when it was about to book the flight back home she I was like yeah you need to tell me

319
00:39:53,765 --> 00:40:01,185
the date and the time because I have to work and I have to organize this and she was okay with

320
00:40:01,185 --> 00:40:07,625
talking about the date but in the end she booked a flight for six o'clock that would have meant

321
00:40:07,625 --> 00:40:12,285
getting up at two o'clock in the morning she didn't give a shit about her kid about me about

322
00:40:12,285 --> 00:40:21,245
my child about my work schedule and she really tried to narcissistically blame it on me like gas

323
00:40:21,245 --> 00:40:30,725
lightning cycle I think that's the first time I told her like she can stick up her fake friendship

324
00:40:30,725 --> 00:40:38,145
up her ass and that she needs to stop playing the fucking victim when she's clearly abusing

325
00:40:38,145 --> 00:40:46,405
everyone's time and energy and that this is now gonna come to an end as I will never see her again

326
00:40:46,405 --> 00:40:56,125
that the this fake ass friendship needs to stop and all these blaming and gaming and all these things

327
00:40:56,125 --> 00:41:01,925
so yeah in the end

328
00:41:01,925 --> 00:41:18,005
um so in the end i figured out that i needed to go and talk to the social workers because my child

329
00:41:18,005 --> 00:41:28,485
is not going to school for two years every couple of weeks i had to explain and to yeah

330
00:41:28,485 --> 00:41:36,105
they were really lovely they're not bad people but you know still it's a liability and this woman

331
00:41:36,105 --> 00:41:41,765
she got through with all the shit she's done and this is just the tip of the iceberg that I've been

332
00:41:41,765 --> 00:41:48,425
telling you there's much more I could fill books with all the shit she has been doing to her son

333
00:41:48,425 --> 00:41:56,425
and other people she never really got in trouble because her kid was going to school and even in

334
00:41:56,425 --> 00:42:02,085
school he asked for help and nobody cared so this is how the system works I mean it's not

335
00:42:02,085 --> 00:42:11,465
how it's working every time but the big majority like 95% I've seen in my life working as a

336
00:42:11,465 --> 00:42:20,145
kindergarten manager and being close to so many fucked up families 95% is like nobody cares

337
00:42:20,145 --> 00:42:25,785
whatever happens to the child if it's half dead okay but if not

338
00:42:25,785 --> 00:42:31,785
suck it up and unless you don't go to school you're not gonna have a problem

339
00:42:31,785 --> 00:42:40,185
what really uh fucked me up was the fact that nobody cares for that kid there is no international

340
00:42:40,185 --> 00:42:49,905
help um unless you are super rich and can pay a good lawyer um you can go from one

341
00:42:49,905 --> 00:42:55,285
embassy to the next embassy to the hospital to the police to the next police in the next country

342
00:42:55,285 --> 00:43:03,305
to another police in another country you can run from a to b to to you know what i mean and nobody

343
00:43:03,305 --> 00:43:12,785
cares really so this is a still ongoing battle from between the child and the mom and he refuses to

344
00:43:12,785 --> 00:43:24,805
even meet her and he says the yes sad part is he feels so lonely now um although his living

345
00:43:24,805 --> 00:43:29,585
conditions are way way better than at home he says but he feels so lonely because he

346
00:43:29,585 --> 00:43:35,265
really learned what family is like through traveling for such a long time with us

347
00:43:35,265 --> 00:43:43,805
and we miss him like hell i need to say we really bonded so well that i would really adopt him in a

348
00:43:43,805 --> 00:43:50,325
second in a split second i would yeah go there today to pick him up to make him part of our

349
00:43:50,325 --> 00:43:57,645
family and what i really learned is because i was adopted my stepdad adopted me and my step

350
00:43:57,645 --> 00:44:07,245
grandma so to say became my real in the end mom and my grandpa my step-grandpa became a real dad

351
00:44:07,245 --> 00:44:17,045
somehow so i basically was raised by my grandpa and grandma what i really think is that family is

352
00:44:17,045 --> 00:44:26,805
is not yeah we find only by blood at all and that we as human beings have so much responsibility for

353
00:44:26,805 --> 00:44:33,565
other human beings that we encounter in our life because my family really yeah they were so angry

354
00:44:33,565 --> 00:44:41,725
with me for for investing my time and energy and money into solving this boy's problems and to help

355
00:44:41,725 --> 00:44:47,325
him and over all these years i heard like oh you're feeding a strangest child and i was like

356
00:44:47,325 --> 00:44:54,705
dude this is what we're supposed to do um and this is what you did when you when my mom came around

357
00:44:54,705 --> 00:45:01,585
with with a with me and and you adopted me in your you included me in your family

358
00:45:01,585 --> 00:45:12,505
and now in the end after all that drama took place they were like oh such a tragic story this poor boy

359
00:45:12,505 --> 00:45:17,925
what if we would have acted way before and helped out way more and i'm like yeah

360
00:45:17,925 --> 00:45:25,945
too late now it's time to be sorry but it's it's just too late now it is okay because i really

361
00:45:25,945 --> 00:45:37,485
think god has his ways and they needed to maybe they needed to to yeah not help this time and to

362
00:45:37,485 --> 00:45:43,925
see the parallel between helping me as when i came around with my abusive mom and now i'm helping him

363
00:45:43,925 --> 00:45:50,465
with his abusive mom it's a parallel story and it's interesting how they didn't support him but

364
00:45:50,465 --> 00:45:58,425
they supported me i didn't really understand but i think what i learned and what i will stand for

365
00:45:58,425 --> 00:46:05,245
for the rest of my life is that we have to take on responsibility for other human beings if we

366
00:46:05,245 --> 00:46:13,145
encounter people who need our help doesn't matter if it's a kid or whoever it is i think this is our

367
00:46:13,145 --> 00:46:19,085
fucking responsibility and hilariously my family they have very very Christian

368
00:46:19,085 --> 00:46:28,605
Christians aren't they all about loving everyone and loving your neighbors and your next door

369
00:46:28,605 --> 00:46:34,705
and your the people next to you and helping and all these things so I think that was quite funny

370
00:46:34,705 --> 00:46:42,265
that this time this didn't apply I mean I'm glad they helped me when I was a kid but I

371
00:46:42,265 --> 00:46:51,445
yeah i would wish to see more help for kids and fucked up situations in this world and a better

372
00:46:51,445 --> 00:47:00,345
support system an international support system and i wish i would know have known and still know

373
00:47:00,345 --> 00:47:08,405
i wish i knew who to ask for help because i still don't know who how to really solve that problem

374
00:47:08,405 --> 00:47:15,765
now this is out of my hands all I can do is pray and support him via telephone and that's it

375
00:47:20,005 --> 00:47:25,045
yeah but as long as you send your kid to school you can beat him up in the evening

376
