That lady didn’t know she hugged a future famous actor
idk him, can u tell me his name?
@Jiaye Myers | did you know not all people watch stranger things ?
Fauzan Devinto Caleb but in stranger things his name is Lucas
I will die to see myself hugging him
Lol ikr and cool name
One year later Caleb’s life is changed forever when he was an a 80s horror sci fi drama on Netflix called *Stranger Things*
Yup
I did just have to check if it really was caleb
This is fake he has a different life
@@urmom-iu6fgWHAT THIS ISN'T ACTING AS SAID IN THE VIDEO I AM SHOCKED
He looks familiar I just couldn't put a dot on him, lol.
“He’s not money. He’s a person” We need more people like him
No we need to be like him.
I was in foster care for almost 2 years. Unfortunately this kind of thing happens on the daily and case workers look the other way because of the overwhelming need to foster homes in the USA. You think using these kids for cash is bad it is but the fact that some foster kids don’t get the support from the government it need leads them to walk around in old torn clothes shoes that don’t fit because the vouchers we get are not enough in today’s rising economy. The only hope foster kids have is being placed with a family member, being adopted and the less likely scenario politicians, taking notice.
@NYTXK9 Well what do you expect? When they’re running millions of people and they’re all multi millionaires often from wealthy families it’s hard for them to feel any actual sympathy for normal people.
I agree...
@NYTXK9 Um poltiicians bad mkay, we need politicians to um go to restaurants and call people persons mkay
"I think you might be one of the most evil people I've ever heard" That's like Traci's entire WWYD resumé.
😂
omg the guy that said “hes not money, hes a person” KING
& HE'S HANDSOME TOO what a KING
how do u have 200 likes and u commented 4 days ago
FenZik Snipex idk maybe because this vid 37.M VIEWS?!

Boi where the crown? HE NEED THE CROWN
my mind: They're actors... don't punch your screen
I know right!
I was about to smack screen.
Thanks for telling me about that.
Sameeeeeeeeeeees
Kermit_the.frog_here I was so mad I cried bc it was sad
The first young woman taking her time to gather herself before the confrontational is much better than I would have done. Well done
REAL TALK.... I would have spazzed immediately
It made me tear up when he smiled and got excited saying he gets to have a burger and a milkshake. It shows how innocent and humble kids can be.
“He’s not money. He’s a person” That touched my heart like harp strings.
Fedora_ V like wet paper
Same😥
He's not a kid he's Lucas from stranger things he's a big deal( I know he's a kid)
Fedora_ V I love the smile he had on his face whenever her told her too. It was like ‘I really want to slap you but I don’t want to make a scene.’
Fedora_ V true
At least he got adopted to a better family and hung out with mike, Dustin, and will and gets to find aliens
ryan alvarado lol
ryan alvarado omg
ryan alvarado yessss 😂😭💕💕😍
ryan alvarado You are amazing
Dude yes, I was like is that...?

I miss me some Traci :(

The second woman was so heart warming and smart . She decided to deal with the problem by not making scene so the mom wouldnt take it out on a child but at the same time helped him
He went from “what would you do?” To one of the most successful Netflix shows ever. Caleb what a guy.
lmao just bc squid game is successful doesnt mean stranger things isnt. Read the sentence again, " ONE of the most successful netflix shows" not "THE most successful" 💀lmaoakskslsj
@@clipsyoudontwatch I mean in the sense that like stranger things is super well known and so is squid games but i think stranger things is also very popular
@@clipsyoudontwatch Do you know how to read? They said ONE of the most successful, not THE most successful…
And he played young Ricky Bell on the New Edition story
@@clipsyoudontwatch read bitch
I’m crying at the generous heart of these women. The second woman just touched my heart. You could tell she really cared. When he went over for a hug I lost it
“He’s not money, he’s a person.” We don’t need more people like that. We need to *BE* that.
Tracy is honestly the best villain actor ever
I agree lol
Yeah she is so good i forgot she was acting
But thats a actor guy dude
Traci is the best villain in cinematic history, Traci was Thanos' real motivation for collecting the infinity stones
Tbh I thought she was a demogorgon from stranger things xD
this kid is an amazing actor crying on q
I would probably burst out laughing if I was actor there and then ruin the whole thing
+Primrose Everdeen same😂
I agree.
Tu tru
+Lord Jamar Be Like If i"m the one interviewed , I would like damn boy! good acting ! I almost had my fist on the women hahaha
I'm so appalled by the people who didn't say a word, especially the couple that thought no harm was being done, bcs he wasn't being hit. SHAME ON THEM!!!🤬
"As long as she's not touching him or hitting him, its fine" ~ Dumbass woman So mentally abusing him is okay to her???? Some people need to get their heads checked
EXACTLY. both mental & verbal abuse are equally just as important as physical abuse.
Yeah that was absolute bullshit. Scumbags!
Caleb is so adorable here.I want to buy him everything on the menu.I can’t believe that foster parents like that truly do exist.
Omg ikr I can't imagine parents like that and pretty name I have a few friends named Melanie and cool last name and I like your pic you're so pretty
"As long as she wasn't touching him or hitting him.." Oh, good job. Emotional abuse is absolutely, in every sense of the word, just as harmful as physical abuse.
alexlovesyoubabes no, a _person_ that was ignorant about that particular subject.
Agreed
Emotional abuse can cause heart problems yet u know
agreed
VictoriaLampini Yeah. lol.
I'm just sitting here thinking how good the foster kid's acting is. 👌
I'm so hip😭
+zynbw I thought that was him lol
That's Caleb M. or Lucas from stranger things
same he cried on que
same he cried on que
“He is not money.” He’s is a person.” Damn that hit hard
That lady was gonna report that woman. Good for her. There are some brave and wonderful people in this world.
I swear this show just proves that people listen in on your conversations
Hey .... I heard that 🤣🤣
This comment is underrated 👌😂
Brinley Forrest just because you hear something doesn’t mean you listened to it
Sometimes it can be in a good way like this
Jesus facts but it’s for good reason
“He’s not money. He’s a person”
And he is also the kid from stranger things
rangi hawkins We know.
You have the same first name as me
Daisy Harmon i’m not even joking i was scrolling through the comments while watching this video and as soon i saw this i heard it in the video
I was like.. Period
That’s crazyyy that Caleb’s in this, and the first lady who stood up for him I have nothing but respect for her 💜
The way the last woman just ENVELOPS him. 💖 Like she's not just talking about wanting to love and protect him, she goes right over and wraps her arms around him to shield him is just incredible. What an amazing woman.
5 years later and I never noticed that the boy is Caleb Mclaughlin-
Ikr
I agree with you
i just realized that too
@@KevinDurantsBurner_ Am I right that the foster mom wasn't being fair to Caleb?
Caleb is wonderful
Omg the woman who payed for his meal made me cry 😂😂😂
But did you notice that she was again there when the blond woman stood up, they flooding her face but i recognize her hair cut and outfit..... It could be staged,? Please tell me no😳😟
+ash matiseni oh ok ! Thanks i prefert that , i spend the whole night watching WWYD i was in tears this show is amazing lol i want the same in france
+Sassy Banana she is so cute .....
it made me cry too!
We actually have nice people in this world
When the little boy was crying I couldn’t. There are kids who really go through this and this is really sad 😔
Even his acting in this was impressive. He went to the biggest show on Netflix not even a year later!
Ok but could we appreciate how far Caleb has gotten in his career he went from this to stranger things like man he’s great
He is really talented
Ya
It's not about that this is going on in real life and it's unacceptable 💯🙏
He was on episode stranger things and now he isn’t that boy anymore he is teenager now and he’s age 19 year old
I know right
WOW that boy can act
Machi Malume he's actually starring in a movie!!
Got7Angels What movie
Machi Malume stranger things
HeyoitsAge k
Well now hes famous he deserves it
That first woman brought me to tears. I tend to feel what other people feel and her pain for that boys situation really moved me.
If this was Lucas he would have knocked out that mom like he knocked out Jason 🤣
*“He’s not money. He’s a person.”* Is the wisest thing I’ve ever heard.
Do you know there were different species of humans at a certain point of time upto around 10000years ago? recorded by modern science? all coming from the similar ancestry of chimpanzees?

@Srikanth Chakravarthy bruh everyone knows that

@@sophiam506 stop
Imagine how they react when they see him on stranger things
They probably never made the connection.
The mother releasing their foster child makes a lot of money from stranger things:DIBS
omg i was looking for someone who was confirming that was lucas
OMG I JUST REALIZED!
I like ya pfp g
Just because the child isn't being hit or physically.Abused doesn't mean the mental and emotional abuse is any better
👏🏿
to see how far caleb mclaughlin made it in the industry is so touching. he’s an amazing actor he deserves every ounce of his fame❤️
The worst thing about this, is that this happens in real life.
That's why I enjoy watching this show because they cover real issues. It's also nice to see that there are nice people in this world.
Yes some parents are mean
This lady made her dayghter clean their whole no help every Saturday even her parents and brothers bed sheets
Thats the Hole fucking point
That's the entire point
IS THAT LUCAS FROM STRANGER THINGS?!?!
Yes!
Violet SleepyBear yeah it is
Violet SleepyBear yes indeed it is 😂😂
IKR I was shocked also 🙂
Also uh ty guys so much for 36 likes! That’s insane for just one comment 😂
The last lady she got me cried, what a beautiful heart and soul she has ❤️❤️🌹🌹
“As long as you don’t see any physical abuse” my ass. Emotional abuse can be WAY more damaging
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
By the way, physical abuse can cause mental problems, sooooo.....
She sounded like a complete prick!!
@@genjibone6076 thats rite i agreeee
Maianna Huntington I’m sorry 😔

Thank you for all the likes🤗☺️😘
2017: stars in The New Edition Story as Ricky Bell at age 11-13
I love those ppl who is speak up for the kids.. human are the most precious thing in the world. Those ppl are angels
Does anyone else tear up a little when people stand up for those affected in these scenarios?
The lady in the white shirt went OOFF!!! Traci: "Well It's a job" "and your JOB to make him feel secure and comfortable and loved" YES!!
GO GIRL
Shyamm Curry I was crying ❤️❤️😭😭😭
Shyamm Curry Once you see her take her glasses off, you know shit's about to go down
Yep.
it also makes her look racist too !!
Oh wow I didn’t know that Caleb got some of his start in acting at WWYD.
He was the lead in lion king Broadwaybefore this
you mean Lucas
Nyagai Rambang oh I didn’t know that! That’s cool!
Paul McCharmly well sure his character’s name in ST is Lucas but his real name is Caleb Mclaughlin
@@porpedroiiebertrand HIS REAL NAME IS CALEBBB
My late wife used to foster children, before we met. She would mostly take the emergency cases, the ones which has been through the worst abuse, and often for the short term. But some stayed with her for up to two years. She would have about 10 kids at a time. Over the years, she had several hundred children who had been through her care. She would always make sure that each child, after actual living expenses, had some money to spend themselves. This is something that she felt was very important for each child. She never did it for the money. One thing which always amazed me about her, was how good she was with children, they always loved her. It was such a beautiful thing to see her interact with children. She used to get so upset about foster carers, who used foster children as a meal ticket. If she had been in the scenario in the video, she would not have kept quiet.
This was so wholesome for the people standing up and saying something
The woman that offers the kid whatever he wants is such a legend, god bless her
Ikr😇🤩😎❤️💙💜🌈✨💖💝💘🎮🌹
Yeah
AWEEEEEE SHES SO CUTE
Yes and no
@@mjd4287 yes she is!!

ikr can ppl like actually talk about this ;-;
@@eri7772 Uh duh
Ikr;-;
Retro Collector lol
he's only the kid from new edition movie
I cried watching this. So many kids in the system that go through worse than this behind closed doors have no one to speak up for them and stop the abuse. I wish I was able to adopt kids. But there also are good people who adopt kids and give them an amazing life they wouldn’t have had.
Loved the people who stood up for him
I hope he gets a milkshake and hamburger after this test
Lol me tooo
Lmao xD same
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

The foster kid actor CRIED can he get an Oscar award for CRYING like I want to give him a hug!!!!! Well done 👍
Yeah you're right
i mean he’s relatively big now so he got the recognition he deserves
medusa apologist .. true 😀
Right!!!!
Now he’s on a really good show called stranger things
That First Lady is so kind. Seeing that kind of thing is clearly triggering and it’s not okay just sitting by and watching, so that shows kindness
Where have all the good people in this world go just seeing genuine reactions from people it makes me happy

H S S i get the joke i was just saying
2020:
All of you are talking about how Caleb is on STRANGER THINGS, but is no one going to talk about that kind woman who offered him whatever he wanted. Bless that woman, she's going places.
Amy Paredes your dramatic lmao
maybekeke who's dramatic. Hello! This video was made to make people react because that kind of things happen for real.
Amy Paredes yeah but stranger things
Yes
What even is stranger things
My boy Caleb went from What would you do to Stranger Things.
Caleb's acting here is so satisfyingly good that's why he ended becoming Lucas in Stranger Things 💖
THATS LUCAS AHHH! He made his start in acting! He’s so little! Edit: Yes. I know his real name is caleb. I’m not a super fan or anything, sorry guys.
John Mulaney. That’s all tell me why I done seen them like 5 times and I’m just now realizing that’s Lucas 😭🤘🏾 !!
His name is Caleb but yea

But the lady who offered him to get whatever he wants- 🥺🥺🥺
Ikr I was gonna cry
she reminds me so much of my aunt it’s crazy. Beautiful, same size, and all. she seems like a lovely woman. 😍
Bless her!
I cried through out the video😂
That lady was at the end also. Very strange
All children deserve to be loved and respected and protected, regardless where they come from.
This made me cry watching this episode. That little boy is a great actor. I was in foster care when I was little, for a while, but I don't remember what happened during that time. I would have offered that boy a meal and a hug.
Im crying on the woman who said to put his food on her bill that is sooo sweet
That was very bold and upstanding of her to do. I would do the exact same thing
Omg you are so Lucky that you said Woman... Above you in the comments someone wrote girl and this psycho is losing her mind over it omg 🙄😂😂
ikr
It made me cry about how excited he was to get a hamburger and a milkshake 💓
I cried during all of them
I wonder if these people watched stranger things and saw Caleb. They’d be like “OH SHIT I ALMOST GAVE HIM A HAMBURGER YEARS AGO”

Larry, because he works over ten 9-5’s at the same time! That’s commitment right there
It’s sad because these foster parents aren’t going make it obvious in public, so a lot of this will go completely un-noticed.
Right you are! A lot of them will actually overplay the nice person act and shower the kids with fake love... In public, that is... Then they get back home...

right?? 😭🔥 so happy for him
Exactly, I knew that I saw him somewhere else
RIGHTT
I know he is in stranger things!
I was about to say the boy deserves an Oscar😊😊I didn’t even know he is a celebrity now…bless him…and I am loving this show far..only got to know about it last night and I can’t even count how many of the videos I have seen..so addictive and lovely to watch and see how people respond and react to racism amongst people and maltreatment of kids😩 This is a wake up call for me to step up and be in my kids’ lives
John Quinones is the best. His calm energy and confidence is sure to calm even the angriest person down. He's the best!
The woman who said she would pay for him and get whatever he wanted Melted my heart😍😍
She touched me sooo much😢
I know that when she passes away, she is definitely going to Heaven. She was very generous
@@jeremysterling9334 she's going to Heaven only if she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Saviour, not if she did good things on earth without Jesus in her heart

I can't imagine any child being treated like this just for the money - its heartbreaking. The second woman handled it so well and was so sweet offering Caleb anything he anted off the menu. The pure delight in his eyes and in hers seeing how excited he was to get a burger & his hug was such a wholesome moment and had me tearing up 😢 "He's not money, he's a person"
You are a horrible person
