What kind of ass keeps asking those questions to a kid?
LowerLands
My heart just broke
themisfit
the fact that he tries to hold back his tears... this kid has been through some real shit.
sweetfumblebee
I'm too fucking pregnant for this.
ThePromiscuousRobot
It's hard seeing such sadness in such a young face.
tuckamuck
Yeup. I'm crying. Desperately want to hug him, no matter how old he is now

That kid is hell of a man. I hope he succeeded with his secure date communication company.
SpaceHaze91
That's my boy! Never in my life did I ever want kids until I saw Andrei in that PBS show 20+ years ago.
NomDePlumage
Now I want all of the kids.
bobbleheadiswhathesays
Imagine all the children being orphaned as we speak. Those who won't have any family left because someone killed them all....that's reality

"My Family" he says. "Do you have a family?" the possibly deaf interviewer asks.
Rednut89
I snorted out loud at this, even with the weepy eyes, so thank you for that!
bananadock
The interviewer asked that because the boy is in an orphanage. He wanted clarification.

My mother died when i was 3. That last picture kicked me right in the balls. Crying over some picture on the internet now. Thanks Obama.
thefreestyler
Condolences. And. Best Thanks Obama I've seen in a while.
captainobvioustits
fun fact: he got adopted by an american family after this interview, but then they decided they didn't want him. by fun i mean devastating.
CyberChicken1999
Never before in my life have I ever wanted to aggressively hug someone this badly.
AshHaryu
This hits me harder then most. I have a 4 year old son and i dread doing this to him.
84hsp
Everytime this image gets posted, I always go back and watch Andrei's story. And yes, as a parent, it hits really fucking hard.
azazyel
Well on the bright side he could end up Batman...
AshHaryu
Yes...I like that.

pongau11
That kid is trying to hard to be strong. Holy shit.
pongau11
I meant *so* hard...not "to" hard. I guess when there's something that sad, people don't even bother to correct someone.
geriatricsanatore
That dude is stronger than some grown ass people I know and I want to hug him and buy him all the toys
pongau11
I couldn't agree more. By "grown ass people I know", I am including myself. So sad.
RogueDoge
TIL I am not as strong as this kid.
pongau11
Right?? Holding those tears in, fighting so hard to keep it together. I sob watching commercials...
rjman101
It's actually hard growing up as a boy too. But, we don't complain about it.
chaotikmethodz
Someone at that age shouldn't have to be...so sad.
pongau11
I agree. That age should be cops and robbers and sandboxes. But really, kids worldwide have to endure so much, so young. Tragic, really.

Well, welcome to the world. Bad things happen. Good things too.

My dad past away when I was 13. I had a dream a week or so after where I was woken up (in my dream) by a sound in my room, but it (1)
plainoldfool
wasn't scary or spooky, doe. It was a piece of chalk clicking against one of them old school slate tablets kids used back in olden (2)
plainoldfool
days. "Who's there?" I asked the empty room. "It's daddy" I heard in my father's kind voice. I woke immediately after. 25 years (3)
plainoldfool
and the memory of this dream still haunts me... in a good happy way, but also in a 'oh, now I've gone and made me sad' way too.
meekodeeko
thanks for sharing <3
crihsagnlel
sorry :(
plainoldfool
No worries. I got Danquan and his dad's abuse of toasters to cheer me up.
awardwinningbananaforscale
Just watched the source video :( poor kid - after this was adopted in America. The family then 'took him back' and another family adopted
awardwinningbananaforscale
and then his brother died, so by age 21, he was the only member of his family alive. Poor Andrei
Trumpcard814
Did the child actually have that high of a vocabulary?
meowrsik
Yes
awardwinningbananaforscale
No idea. It's subtitled from Russian. He could be talking about ponies for all we know.
trollprozac
What was adopted in America? TV?

So what was adopted in America?

trollprozac
Why'd the first mother hate him? Why adopt if you're so hateful?! People are weird.
awardwinningbananaforscale
I inferred that the kid was adopted in America.

Oh I thought some new practice was adopted in america. Like gun control, or universal health care or assisted weight loss

This is part of a great documentary. This kid had a terrible life even when he came to the US.

Her first adoptive mother told him to go back to Russia

How did his parents die?
anglophilestymie
How so? I am curious.
JoeYoHoe
If i remember his brother dies soon after... :(
RRTaylor222
He gets adopted after the clip shows and his new American mom hates him. I think at the end though hes studying to do stuff with computers
BluebellsandGooseberries
From what I remember his foster parents just changed there mind about him one day - really sad
NomDePlumage
I thought he ended up with a new, better family.
tikimiki
he became attached to the dad but the mom hated him, so they changed their minds. sadder: his brother died too :(
anglophilestymie
That's horrible! You just can't change your mind.
BluebellsandGooseberries
Yeah it is mind boggling - on a lighter note I am a true fan of that username!
anglophilestymie
Why thank you thank you :)
notcompletelyirrelevant
I watched this too, I don't remember it very well though, didn't he end up in the army? Or living alone? Either way, really sad :(
shrivelledjohnson
I was glad when he said he didn't want to be filmed anymore. Seemed like he was deciding to take some control of his life.

I seem to remember he was coding on a computer in Florida (back before when it was quite normal)

yes good for you. Please keep that plan up to date, and fresh. Not obsess, but so it isn't forgotten or circumvented.

THIS. For the love of your son, talk with your POA and Lawyer.
goforchristinam
As a soon to be insurance agent, I really, really hope the includes a Life Insurance Policy. You have no idea how much that helps.

We both have life insurance through the Army thank goodness.

My cousin passed away at 24, leaving behind 2 kids w/ not much planned. Aunt had to sell her home to help, while grieving for her son.

As a finance professional, upvotes for you. Too many people try to unwind tragedy after the fact, rather than plan for the possibility.

Good for you. It's necessary and far too many people don't prepare. My parents didn't :(

I'm the eldest by 10 years. My parents made arrangements to leave my brothers in my care should they die. I don't like to think about it.
idontdocreativeusernames
Oldest by nine years. Obviously a terrible thought but I wouldn't want my brother with anyone else

Sorry bruh

Ikillmiceforaliving
seriously interested in what kind of plan
SomethingSomethingTraLaLa
We both have life insurance through the Army (sad, but get even more if he's killed in combat) and who would get our son as well.
Ikillmiceforaliving
that is good.
Ikillmiceforaliving
but I was thinking about the emotional part
SomethingSomethingTraLaLa
Yeah, he's 3.5, so that will be awful. He grew up with my sister as nearly a 2nd mom before we moved, so hopefully that would help.
Ikillmiceforaliving
hmmm. always the worst part is who to give the child to, if something happens to you.

And you are on the Internet while she does this.
SomethingSomethingTraLaLa
As cool a skill as being able to make low-cost merchandise would be, nope. He would go live with my sister.
jidery
What if your sister dies? Ever think about that?
SomethingSomethingTraLaLa
Fortunately my family all lives in the same town, so he will be well cared for.
justorderalargefarva
It's good you have a plan. I wouldn't trust my sister to raise my kids if something happened to me.
SomethingSomethingTraLaLa
She just had her first son, but at the time it was only her and her husband who adore my son and have a stable income and lifestyle.

And I think they both stemmed from UK Up, originally done in..well the UK haha such a cool idea!

.. two years before Apartheid ended. Really interesting to see how they grow and change during this period. Also really sad.

and how they disappeared i bet...

Do you know how the little boy is doing now? :( I hope he has a new family deserving of him.

I think he ended up doing alright. I saw the 7, 14, and 21 episodes. All the kids at least improved their conditions
stardame
Thank you! I'm definitely not strong enough to watch the documentary. Looking at him is heart-wrenching as it is! I'm glad he's better. :)
