Sameee
Keyi, It really caught me unaware.
DAM THERES SOMETHING IN MY EYE
I also want to add how strong these mothers are for putting their kids first despite what the fathers have done. That is real strength.
Right usually i hear about moms being petty as hell to their kids dads and acting like that isnt mentally damaging for the kid and its for their own good when in reality its out of their own bias because their little relationship didn't work out.
@@jimmyneutron6766 i know first hand what a petty mom is like. She didn't let me speak to my dad over the phone until a while after he got in jail, and after that she would always talk crap about him.
@Bideford College NPC comment
It's hard! My daughters father is in Prison. We make sure she gets to speak with him everyday or video visits and in no time We'll get to do in person visits. I have her in therapy. It's huge not having the other parent, even more so if they had a relationship with them and then bam, they are gone in prison. She feels neglected at only 4 years old😭 It's heartbreaking.
Een MOEDER BLIJFT ALTIJD😍❤💘💝( EEN MOEDER)❤🙁😢
This happened 6 years ago. I really hope these dads have found a better path in life. Their children deserve this change of life and I hope they are all in better places now.
they did a follow up and 80% of the dads became reoffenders and are back in jail
@@malonembappe6509 This is so sad... I know it's hard to stay out of this life when they get out of jail for different reasons but these kids deserved better :(
Im 9 and can't imagine it
7 years now 😢 This is so sad I don’t know what I would do without my parents they are such a big part of my life and without them I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
They need more help they are trained for prison, they are not helped to become self-sufficient or psychological fitt. We have good prisons that help then to go back and work or get themselves help.
“He’s lied to me” I started to cry.

Fr... If any man lie and break your heart, Dad shouldn't be the one.
They might have done bad things, but they still love their children.
Never the kids fault
atinyyy yy yep 🙂💗😍
@@_rtx_ ok
possibly other people’s children too
@@_rtx_ but once kids come around it can change the life's of them and make them want to be better and want to spend more time with them and I know this from my life
This not only helps the children, but it also helps the prisoners. They get to feel love. They get to feel human. You can't lock people up and expect them to retain their humanity. They need to have the chance to feel that. THAT is what will help them reintegrate into society when they get out.
If they ever do some people need to never see another human being again
That’s part of why I appreciate the prison system in my country, Norway. It emphasizes reform and in turn among criminals there’s a high percentage of one-time offenders who serve their time and stay out afterwards, instead of going in and out of prison.
@@heavnxbound but they actually be living so good in jail 💀💀 5 star meals, gym, a COMPUTER, and a pool in Sweden
@@heavnxbound but you have to be charged of murder
@@ThatGreenCrystal That greatly depends on the level of security the inmates require. My dad served time in a high security prison, which more so resemble prisons in the US. When he was later transferred to a low security prison he got decent meals, got to watch TV, his kids and wife could visit, we could even apply for a certain amount of time where he got to spend time with us outside of prison, like a 24 hour period (sometimes less, sometimes more). He was also allowed to get a job and work if he was monitored by either an ankle monitor or someone who worked in the prison. He wasn’t considered a flight risk or a threat to himself or others so he was given more leniency there than if he had stayed in the high security and clearly wasn’t trustworthy.
I feel that prisoners who have kids not only need to love their kids and be happy with them but realize that having kids gives them a purpose to grow, change, and rehabilitate themselves into better people.
Agreed. It seems obvious to us that they'll know that they're hurting them by going to prison .. but maybe, they have to SEE it first hand & spent those moments bonding to really understand that they're actions are hurting the ones they love the most. ❤️ Maybe, this will be an eye opener for them to not go back. For their kids. I wish this program was everywhere. It's truly incredible.
Imagine how the mother of the murder victim feels watching the man who murdered her child get to enjoy time with his kid 🤷🏽♂️
@@ededdandeddytv5164 It's not about him, it's about the kid who's completely innocent in all this
@@katelyns419 "Not to go back" sometimes it's not that easy. You can't just get a job after having been in prison, or get a house. If you come out of prison and you're homeless and hungry, with a box of your stuff and a Starbucks giftcard that's 10 dollars (if you're lucky) then what would you do?

Man listen. Even though my dad has never been in prison, videos like this helps you appreciate what you have even more. I’m 25 years old and I am a blind man and I am living on my own now. When I first moved into my own place my dad helped me out a lot and spent a lot of time with me and has seen me develop into my own person in my own apartment. I appreciate my father for doing that. Thank you dad for everything.

it's so sweet how attentive most of them look during the seminar on fatherhood. such a sad thing for them to miss out on their kids for so long.
Yes, that was the most touching part I think.
It’s their fault
@@slovelyyx7718 you're privileged and don't understand the nuances and injustices in our prison system
@@Drowningindisappointmentnope, they were just raised incorrectly and/or had a messed up childhood, nobody’s fault but their parents
@@slovelyyx7718 Go to a single class on sociology. Your refusal to help these people will only lead to more trauma and struggle for their families and communities. I’m not arguing with someone who lacks basic human empathy and fails to understand the disparity that some people are set up with from the beginning of their lives.
This made me cry a lot. I had my father growing up but he was emotionally unavailable and I would say abusive. Sometimes not having a dad all the time isn’t as bad as having one there. I felt like these dads showed more love and support than my dad ever did throughout my life. He’s changed a lot now and is better. I do love him but seeing what I missed out on has made me emotional.
That's very horrible and sad to hear that little girl said her father later the way she said he lied to me is just sad
Exactly. People like to ignore how children feel when they have an abusive dad's, it's actually worse. It ruins your perspective of things , it ruins your trust... Its misogynists who like to throw around the narrative of needing fathers because they prioritise males even when they are abusive. They mess up the system for kids.
Same here, my father was absent most of the time (having affairs). When he was home, he was abusive and negligent towards my mother and I. It is a relief that I haven’t seen nor heard from him for many years now. At least The fathers in this video WANT to be a father figure for their children.
This^^ I felt this
I agree....I understand.
Shout out to the moms for not bashing the dads and allowing them to have even a chance to see their kids.
Moms and dads should let there kids see the other parent in jail or atleast talk to them on the phone.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I'm not even in jail. Never have been. Downside to having a kid with the daughter of a millionaire: lawyers and finely-tuned custody arrangements that you don't have the money to fight. One blown transmission later & you're fucked for years because the agreement doesn't include phone or video calls, and the vehicle for visitation has to pass inspection even if you're not leaving the meetup park.
@@robinfro but what if your child wants to meet up by their own accord outside of the time assigned by custody? Or if your child reaches out to you through social media?

@@j...g Yup, You're correct, in April he was released.
I'm a person who has been benefited from one day with god. As a kid i never knew my dad like that. I only knew him by his voice and by his jpay messages. I never knew what it was like to have a daddy daughter dance. When i first heard that i was going to see my dad for the first time since i was 4 it had GREATLY affected my mental health i was in TEARS like my mom told me i was going to a program called " one day with god" I was full on SOBBING ( she has told me inside of a restaurant and everybody was staring i didnt care nor notice though). you never realize how much you love and miss your dad until you see him. When i first went to that program we had mentors and i remember them telling me when i see him come out of those doors i need to run so fast and jump into his arms and MAKE SURE he falls over and guess what i did and it felt so good to finally hug my dad. after that we ate cake, made a bunch a drawings, made a goal book, made this lamp thingie, and we had a dance, and at the end we released balloons and i got these gifts from my dad i had got a portrait of us, a blanket with the words " dear, (my name) i know how hard it can be to not have me there with you so whenever you miss me just hug this blanket and remember i always love you
i pray for you to experience many happy days with your dad that you lost.
This made me tear up, especially when the dad was telling the boy that it wasn't his fault and it was all the dad's fault.
I love how the woman running this is 100% for the kids. She doesn’t care if the prisoners did bad things, she just wants the kids to be happy.
Completely understand what you're saying..... but it's definitely wayyyyy deeper than that.
@@321MjC kindly explain the deeper part. I'm curious please
I've volunteered with them twice (once inside the prison, once outside for low-level offenders) and it's truly such a remarkable organization. Yes, it's for the kids, but the dads are treated with deep dignity and respect- they're not known by their wrongdoings but as their identities as human beings and fathers. It's a weird and humbling dynamic and I wish more people had the opportunity to experience this group's mission.
@@annasloan2472 Yeah, and I bet you also treat r@pists and murderers as decent human beings just because they have children and you ignore what they did in the first place, huh? These criminals wouldn't be criminals if they just didn't commit crime. They have no one to blame but themselves. I have zero sympathy for them.
@@brandonizaguirre2963 wow, what the hell man. It's never as simple as that and you should know it. Also, I'm pretty sure there's an extremely heavy screening processes for the prisoners/fathers that get to participate. I'm sure they have to have impeccably good behavior to earn the opportunity and much more. Every case is unique. The father who was a murderer was in a bar fight. It was probably an unintentional murder. Still murder, yes, but it was probably something like involuntary manslaughter. (alcohol + bar fights don't go good together). A rapist would be unlikely to participate in something like this that, again, is FOR THE KIDS more than anything else. Hopefully you at least have sympathy for the children.
It's not about what the dad deserves. Its all about what the kids deserve. The children never murdered anyone never sold drugs. They are the innocent of the guilty
Exactly.
🙌🙌🙌🙌
These kids need to be protected from their deadbeat dad's whom don't keep their word when they're released and commit crimes just to be incarcerated again!! Not fair to these children.
@@carmenm.478 don’t you see that’s to these kids they don’t see a deadbeat or a prisoner, they see their dad that they need in their life. They need those opportunities to even remember what he looks like.
Yea
I read the comments. I knew it'd be emotional. I knew I'd cry. But I did NOT expect to be bawling with joy, pain and admiration. It really is about the kids. Scottie. We need people like you in the world. Thank you so much for doing this for the kids, the silent victims. Thank you.
I feel for the girls in this video, my father has always been in and out of prison and jail. It hurts me to know he makes promises and can’t keep them, saying he’ll be better and he’ll stay out of prison but he ends up going back breaks me. Then the part of getting comfortable talking on the phone and some awkwardness when talking in real life, face to face. Amaya and her father remind me so much of me and my father, along with some bits with Arkinya and her father too.
so you dont feel for the boys you idiot?
@@ItsBloxy379 I do, but personally I’m a girl, a female. So I can’t say how the boys may feel themselves, though they may as well feel the same but then again, I’m a female not a male.
@@cloudykumorii anybody would feel it. daddy in and out of jail any guy & girl would feel it.

Im not in the same situation as these children. But when my parents split I needed that. These kids don’t deserve to live with that guilt
Don’t know why these guys are willing to do serious crimes when they have a child waiting for them. A real man is willing to work whatever job it takes as long as he can see his family at the end of the day and keep a roof over their head.

I started crying when they were running to their dads. i also started crying when they were dancing, and also, when they were saying goodbye, this is so wholesome ❤
It made me cry when the dad said it was his fault not his sons. I also started tearing up when the little girl said that it means everything to be back with her dad and its like he is at home, i hope they are all back home now. ❤

When that dad held his son and told him that he loved him, and that it wasn’t his fault, I was holding back tears. This was 8 years ago, I wonder how those kids and fathers are doing now. I hope everyone’s in a better place.
My kids dad moved 5 states away, she was & is still hurt. When I see a dad actually parent, it warms my heart. A man can really change his soul when he fully commits to being a good dad. Props to all the dads that are there for their kids.....

Being mad because your dad lied to you about changing and being there for your childhood isn’t mean at all
Agreed
I can relate. And I’m crying. Like damn.
She sees and knows her dad was hurting to do what he did, and is hurting not to be with his family now, so she's struggling to feel her feelings without breaking him more. So much for a kid to carry.
She was little she probebly didn't know what mean really was.
It is when your dad has lied to you and he knows your hurting and he knows what he did was wrong. Then he says he won’t do it again. Then he does. So yea it is mean when you are in her situation. And she knows it and she doesn’t deserve to go through that
I feel the worst for the 15 year old boy. Imagine having absolutely no hope that you’re dad is ever coming home.

They should do this for prisoners, once a month where they can interact with their family to this degree for people who are behaving. Take these privileges away, from those who arent. Way more effective I bet you

Watched my great nephew grow closer to his Dad as his prison sentance neared the end. He was 10 when he got out and loved connecting with him and finding out they both were artists. The father went to live with my sister the boy's grandmother and we thought he was on his way only to return to his thieving, drugging ways eventually disappearing breaking my great nephews heart. Now my great nephew has a son but he doesn't know how to be Dad so the family is all pitching in to try and help him learn how important the bond is needed and wanted.
My dad is in prison, he went to prison when I was 12 almost 13. I took out my anger at school by getting into fights and getting into trouble. Some kids would bring tequila to school and we would drink it at recess, and I did this to numb the pain of missing my dad. Then the next year (8th grade) when I was 13, I met a girl and we got along great. I was excited to go to school because I knew I was gonna see her. Eventually we had sex. We had sex a lot of times and I never had access to condoms because I couldn’t get anywhere to buy them or ask my mom because I was only 13. She got pregnant and immediately told her parents who were the most supportive parents ever. But I never told my mom, and her parents didn’t tell my mom because they thought that she might get scared and want an abortion. My son was born when I was 13. I’m now 17 and my dad is still in prison. But now I have a beautiful 3 year old son who I would die for. I travelled back to USA (I had to move away from there when I was 14), and got to spend the entire day with my son. It was the best day of my life. But leaving him was extremely hard. I cannot describe the pain of having to stop hugging him, put him down, and get into the car and drive away knowing it could be another year before I see him again. I don’t know how to be a dad. I’m only 17, and I don’t live anywhere near my son. But I still love him more than anything on this earth, and he loves me too.
This program needs to be in every prison. Breaks my heart. Yes, children are the silent victims and they need their fathers and their fathers need them. Just because a man’s incarcerated doesn’t mean his ability to love and parent his kids stops. It doesn’t mean that he is not a good parent. These types of programs benefit both parent and child and helps to foster self-worth and attachment.
I absolutely agree with you on that. My ex husband has been in jail for almost a year now and it breaks my heart that my daughter is the one who showed me this video. I'm heartbroken right now and there's nothing I can do to help her. My fiance passed away from brain cancer 2 weeks before her father was arrested and she was just as close to him as she is with her father so she has been through so much. Unfortunately the jail doesn't allow any contact other than video chat or phone calls which cost more for 10 minutes than most people where we live make per hour. The children involved are the ones who are suffering the most and I hope that more facilities will have programs like this one available to help the children not punish them too.

I appreciate this movement so much and wish nothing but love and ‘better tomorrows’ for all. Love - keep it simple.

Water on mirror no u moron he has 23 years not life
I’m 17 years old when I was younger my dad used to verbally and physically abuse my family. In grade 4 he was charged with sexual assault, the case remained open and he lived with my family again. Those years were terrifying, I was always afraid of him hurting me. In 9th grade, I came home to see my mom and my sister distraught. They told me my dad had been arrested, I couldn’t even hide my joy. He’s been gone for more than 3 years now. I don’t want him to come back. But I do miss him, because he was my dad. There were happy moments with him too. I always just wanted to feel safe around him.
Im also 17, and my dad was accused of sexual assault when I was 11 or 12. He had seggs with someone and they falsely accused him of sexual assault. I didn’t know that he was gonna go to prison until 4 days before he went, and he finally told me and my brother. I was 13 when he went away. I miss him so much. My mom tries to make me feel like I shouldn’t love him. But I do love him, he is my dad. He always put work before me and my siblings, but I still think he was a pretty good dad. I have some good memories with him. I had to go from when I was 13yo until a few months ago (17yo) without seeing him. When I was 13, I used to cry at night fearing that I would never see him again, and I would think “all I want is one hug from my dad”.

Wasn’t expecting to cry like a baby but here I am. Let me go hug my dad real quick
I want to hug him too but my dad is really cold to us because all of us 3 siblings are girls :( and we didnt really talk alot
I wish I could but my dad in prison too🙁😭

My dad left me, but I'm not complaining because I have my stepfather.
Incredible idea! I can’t imagine how it would be like to go through childhood without a father figure. The founder of this event is truly a kind soul
God bless the woman that started this program! It was rooted in a lot of childhood pain. I’m so glad God used that pain to make something so beautiful. It changes the lives of so many children!
okay ngl two things broke me: - the girls speech about meeting her dad - the boy crying to his dad, which the dad was saying 'its not your fault its mine.' like how do you handle this much emotion
I know right that girl speech
I cant
Same as the way they do crime
When the boy was crying bro that hit me
Why does it say he made this 69 years ago
I really hope the dads got out of jail didn’t make the same decisions as before
CHANGE THE PFP NOW! THIS VIDEO MADE ME SAD BUT NOW YOU DROVE IT FURTHER WITH ITACHI THERE! 😭😭

@coca cola we all got our favorite characters, even non anime
Random but wasn't there a Naruto fan some years ago who committed suicide because of Itachi's death?
@@dawn0097 damn really?
My absolute best friend for the past 10 years had both his mother and father werelocked up when he was 9 years old and whenever his mom would call from inside it was amazing how much effort she put into being apart of his life. She would get to know all his friends and would always make him happy. His mom got out 3 years ago and she’s one of the best human beings I’ve ever met. I honestly think of her as a second mom.
Every child deserve to be loved by their fathers. Its an amazing feeling.
Me: **tears in my eyes** I PROMISE TO BE A GOOD DAD IN THE FUTURE Also me: *Female*
😂
Wait a minute
That’s a twist
Lol
and i oop-
I balled when he said, "I'll be home soon, okay? It's all my fault."😭
Same😭😭😭
same
I started tearing up when he said that. That broke my cold fucking heart.
IKR I'm crying so hard right now
I didn't cry......
What an amazing program! Memories are being created, if for but a fleeting moment. A lot of healing taking place there. Thank God that there are caring humans that can see beyond offences and just look at the parent - child relationship that needs support.
i cried this whole video, my face is soaked. Lord, please bless these families’💗
This should be held once a month. Rehabilitation is all about support, love, and hope.
African Beauty some of the kids can’t travel there every time. Like the reporter said that one of the kids traveled from Florida to Michigan so she could see her dad.
The United States prison system is not about rehabilitation, sadly. It is about the most pain and torture possible, in order to break a person and make them stay in a hardened hearted place. It should not be this way. Programs such as these are not common at all.
what if its a life sentence
Gachatube Animations some dads with good behavior get to meet their children
@Nevaeh Nevaeh This program is a Christian program and all the father's are hand selected. Im not sure if uou heard correctly but only 20 prisoners were alowed to participate im sure becuase of good behavior. You know Grace is a gift no one deserves not even the most law abiding citizen. I belive im everyone being held accountable for thier actions buf i also stongly belive in redemption. I just think its sad that we are so condemning like we never needed a second chance before. We are all sinners. Some more than others. Its becuase of thise mentality that the united states is overflowing with prisoners becuase programs that offer you Gods grace are belittled and not supported. Its mote convenient for the pockets of the country to make more jails and continue cramming them in than to offer grace to a selected few that want to recive it..
God bless the people who organized this

babymel Busy god bless
God man I cried this is so good to see and as an upcoming social worker this is what we need for the children and the prisoners.
This absolutely broke my heart. I’m so glad these kids got time together with their dads though🤍🤍
This made me ugly cry at 2 in the morning

Woooh , it was so so so hard to not cry , damn
V H S I started to cry when the man said it’s not your fault it’s mine 😭
You killed it
LOL
So trueee
This is really touching. Never think about the bad things in this, a lot of people who love their kids deserve time with each other.
I fr started crying as soon as I saw these fathers crying with their children. It really reminded me of how me and my father haven't really had a strong relationship with each other since hes always at work and he never really had parents around growing up. These kids and parents deserve so much.
I teared up when one of the dads said to the little boy “ it’s all my fault “!
Dude I started crying when that part came up too
Me to
Same 😢😢 life must be sooo tough for kids with parents in jail
same T-T
Same😪😥😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This would give the prisoners so much to look forward to and stay on the right path. This needs to be more popular in prison systems. I’m bawling
Right. Some people may think it is bad to reward their behavior but it also keeps them in shape and helps the kids.
They should do it every few months.
It’s a win win for both sides. The parent gets a reality check that their kids and family loves them. Keeps them straight in their ally. But also prevents more damage from happening to the kids
It really does. I study this for my degree and you'd be surprised how much visitations effect the chances of prisoners recidivating. Even just one visitation, can drastically increase the changes of rehabilitation
@@alphapudding3636 What are you studying?
I have watch/seen this video 4 yrs ago, cant even count how manytimes i have watched it but it always pears straight into my heart..i wonder why this poor kids and dad makes me cries all the time.i love them so much i hope they all live happily.wish all the sucess,love and all the very best.
I'm so thankful that I had my dad in my life always especially growing up. theres always rough patches but hes always there for us. These men wanna do the same any way they can. People deserve forgiveness man, I honestly wish them all the best and hope those who get out stay out.
just because there in jail doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings. { I know I put the wrong there you can stop correcting me now }
True

My dad is currently in prison and it’s the best thing that has ever happened to me. The things he did effected my family horribly. However, he’s still my dad and all I’ve ever wanted was him to be there for me.
i’m about to be 24 and i’ve never been to jail and since i’ve had my son, i never ever will put myself in a position to leave him. he’s my world
I'm not the emotional type but, this really dug emotion into me

I volunteered and it was an awesome experience! The children love their fathers and the fathers love their children. I was blessed while volunteering.
It's been 7 years and it still warms my heart
Its not fair to punish the kids they deserve more days like this
but i don't want to be the fun Killer.. but it's their own fault.. u heard the 1 of the daughters say that he promised that he would take care of her..but then he goes back to jail..its not fair for the kids i agree. but when that daughter said i was damn...
Actual Bias Trash armyy but true
they deserved to be able to see there dad's
Actual Bias Trash it was the parents who got punished
Actual Bias Trash I know I my self is like those kids I did this program and it was really fun and I hop there will be another day where I can spend a day with my dad
It seems those little ninjas are chopping up a storm with them onions... 😢😢😢😢

/insert Snape Always meme here/
Yeah *sniff*
this made me cry
I almost cried
This got me crying I’m happy these kids get the opportunity to spend a day with their dads
This is beautiful. There is hope. Hope for the children, hope for the fathers. ❤️🤲
The government should fund programs like this in every prison. This is so important and shouldn't be up to a charity with limited resources.
they already put more money into the prison system than they do into the education system so no. No wonder we have the biggest prisoner population, we arent getting a proper education
@@ngndnd Education doesn't always make someone a good person.
@@OrionDawn15 yea but have you ever been to the public schools in new york? or in philadelphia? I feel like if the students didnt go to a dirty ass school with $50 chromebooks and terrible teachers then they would be more likely to be successful in the future and not be out in the streets after graduating.
@@OrionDawn15 a big reason why people commit crimes is lack of opportunities/education
@@Jinkroll Just saying.
