because of your dad leaving?
|
| 00:20:32 | - Yeah, it bothered me.
|
| 00:20:34 | - Finally jakob's responding
to something,
which is a start,
but I need to dig deeper.
|
| 00:20:41 | What did you steal
from your mom?
|
| 00:20:44 | I mean, it's part
of the problem, I think.
|
| 00:20:48 | What did he steal?
|
| 00:20:49 | - Digital cameras,
cell phones, our rent money,
our grocery money,
my birth father's wedding ring.
|
| 00:20:56 | - I never stole your
birth father's wedding ring.
|
| 00:21:01 | I didn't.
|
| 00:21:03 | - Okay.
|
| 00:21:04 | - Did you steal the rest of
the stuff she's talking about?
|
| 00:21:09 | - That, yeah.
|
| 00:21:10 | - Do you think
there's a problem in your home?
|
| 00:21:12 | I mean, obviously, if you're
stealing your mother's property,
your brother's property,
and everybody's getting
..
|
| 00:21:20 | So don't you think you should
get help for that?
|
| 00:21:25 | - Yeah.
|
| 00:21:25 | - All right.
|
| 00:21:26 | So when was the last time
you smoked a joint?
|
| 00:21:33 | - Six days ago.
|
| 00:21:37 | - And what about drinking?
|
| 00:21:39 | - All I do is drink soda.
|
| 00:21:42 | - I don't believe you.
|
| 00:21:44 | - Yeah, I knew she'd say that.
|
| 00:21:45 | - Well, we got to get
to the truth.
|
| 00:21:46 | What you believe
and what's the truth
may be two different things,
right?
|
| 00:21:52 | This is the hard part,
getting jake to acknowledge
he has a problem
or he might have a problem
with drugs or alcohol.
|
| 00:21:58 | What are your problems?
|
| 00:21:59 | Tell me what your problems are.
|
| 00:22:05 | - Stealing.
|
| 00:22:06 | - What else?
|
| 00:22:08 | - Smoking weed.
|
| 00:22:10 | - What else?
|
| 00:22:13 | Drinking?
|
| 00:22:14 | ..
|
| 00:22:15 | - Problem?
|
| 00:22:18 | - It could be possible.
|
| 00:22:21 | - So what are we gonna do
moving forward here now?
|
| 00:22:25 | Regina?
|
| 00:22:29 | - Do you realize that,
that you need it?
|
| 00:22:34 | - We got to mean it.
|
| 00:22:37 | Look at me and listen.
|
| 00:22:40 | You can't run away
from your problems.
|
| 00:22:43 | You have to face 'em,
no matter how scared you are.
|
| 00:22:50 | And you're not
facing them alone.
|
| 00:22:56 | So are we in this together?
|
| 00:22:58 | - Mm-hmm.
|
| 00:23:01 | - Come here.
|
| 00:23:11 | - I love you.
|
| 00:23:14 | - All right, regina,
I think we're ready to go, huh?
|
| 00:23:17 | Jake?
|
| 00:23:18 | It's time to get help,
all right?
|
| 00:23:23 | Jakob is headed
to a 30-day inpatient rehab.
|
| 00:23:28 | I believe jake
was on the verge of dying.
|
| 00:23:31 | He was barely
surviving out there.
|
| 00:23:36 | Thank god we found him.
|
| 00:23:38 | This is why I started
the runaway squad,
to give these kids
a second chance,
to make these families
whole again.
|
| 00:24:12 | Vinnie's so good at everything, like extreme
sports.
|
| 00:24:15 | He had this spark that other kids don't have.
|
| 00:24:18 | I thought he was the coolest thing since
sliced bread
back in the day,
and then I started realizing that
he's such a [bleep] loser.
|
| 00:24:28 | Crack gives me a relief.
|
| 00:24:29 | Want another hit. want another hit.
|
| 00:24:33 | Can't stop.
|
| 00:24:34 | Vinnie will do anything for drugs.
|
| 00:24:36 | You still need that?
|
| 00:24:37 | I'm known in hartford for one of the kids
that could steal a car the fastest,
[siren] but I always push it to the limit.
|
| 00:24:47 | he goes to her
and gets money all the time.
|
| 00:24:49 | The only reason why she helps me,
'cause of guilt.
|
| 00:24:52 | I give him $10, $20 here and there.
|
| 00:24:56 | I must be insane.
|
| 00:24:57 | I'm [bleep] tired of this [bleep], vinnie.
|
| 00:24:58 | I have no [bleep] money, and you're killing
me.
|
| 00:25:07 | How 'bout for once, I get a present
and get a brother that's not a [bleep] embarrassment
to me?
|
| 00:25:15 | That's what they always say to me--
I'm retarded, I'm a moron,
I'm stupid. it's true.
|
| 00:25:52 | My name is vinnie.
|
| 00:25:53 | I'm 28 years old.
|
| 00:25:54 | I live in hartford, connecticut.
|
| 00:25:57 | I like to live life as fast as I can.
|
| 00:26:00 | [Dirt bike engine]
I've been riding bikes since I was 3.
|
| 00:26:08 | It's always been my passion.
|
| 00:26:11 | Whenever I ride, I like to push it as far
as it can go.
|
| 00:26:18 | I love anything with an engine,
been workin' on cars my whole life.
|
| 00:26:24 | I make cars fast, like me,
out of control.
|
| 00:26:30 | It's like drivin' reckless.
|
| 00:26:31 | I push it so hard that anything can happen.
|
| 00:26:39 | I'm addicted to crack.
|
| 00:26:53 | I do this, like, it instantly calms me down.
|
| 00:26:57 | I have adhd, and without me doing drugs,
my mind's like a ball spinning down the road
just nonstop,
can't stop.
|
| 00:27:08 | As soon as I take my first hit,
second hit, I could just sit there and breathe,
and my brain doesn't go a hundred miles an
hour.
|
| 00:27:21 | Crack gives me relief,
and then I just keep chasing
and want another hit, want another hit.
|
| 00:27:37 | The more he smokes, the more he wants.
|
| 00:27:39 | Like last night,he said he smoked $200 worth
of crack,
and he kept smokingit until he had no more
to smoke.
|
| 00:27:47 | I think if he had$500 worth of crack,
he would havesmoked all $500 worth of crack.
|
| 00:28:01 | Yo, you at the club?
|
| 00:28:03 | All right.you still need that?
|
| 00:28:08 | All right.how many you want?
|
| 00:28:09 | I feel badsaying this, but vinnie is definitely
a thief.
|
| 00:28:14 | I-i'll be by therein a few minutes.
|
| 00:28:15 | If you need a car part,vinnie will steal
it for you.
|
| 00:28:17 | Something that he couldke, he's gonna do
it.
|
| 00:28:22 | He's gonna steal [bleep]and pawn it.
|
| 00:28:27 | [Whistles a tune]
["car door open" beep sounding]
I'm known in hartford for one of the kids
that could steal a car the fastest.
|
| 00:28:42 | I mean, I could bypass any alarm.
|
| 00:28:44 | Like, it's just as quick as you could
by hittin' the button to bypass the alarm.
|
| 00:28:48 | And I like that, too, like when people, uh,
need stuff,
that I can be the guy, "oh, I can get that
"
Michelle: Vinnie doesn't care about consequences.
|
| 00:29:04 | It's horrifying seeing what he does to his
body.
|
| 00:29:07 | Like, how can you just abuse your body like
that?
|
| 00:29:10 | He's always coughing, and his face is--
has these big, dark sores on them.
|
| 00:29:15 | it looks like--
like a robotic type of face,
and his eyes bug out.
|
| 00:29:21 | ..
|
| 00:29:25 | Lets this stuff destroy him.
|
| 00:29:33 | Have this crazyamount of pressure
in my stomach,and I hate it.
|
| 00:29:37 | Like at least every day, every other day,
I throw up acid, and I hate that.
|
| 00:29:42 | It's always in my chest, always in my throat
all day.
|
| 00:29:46 | I just have that acid taste, that, uh, burning
in my stomach.
|
| 00:29:53 | [Distant siren blaring]
my biggest fear with vinnie
in these neighborhoods buying drugs and doing
drugs
is that we're just gonna find him dead.
|
| 00:30:11 | That's what I see in vinnie's future if he
doesn't get help,
that I'm going to be going to his funeral,
and I don't know if I could handle that.
|
| 00:30:32 | When vinnie was born and we saw it was a
boy,
his father was real happy.
|
| 00:30:37 | He called his family in italy,
and they were very, very excited that vinnie
was--
vinnie was the first to carry on the name.
|
| 00:30:46 | Vinnie was the cutest, cutest little kid
ever.
|
| 00:30:49 | He just always had this giant smile.
|
| 00:30:53 | Ah, he was so cute.
|
| 00:30:55 | He was just this fat little marshmallow with
dark hair,
and he was always on the go, no matter what.
|
| 00:31:01 | Vinnie just always wanted to--to run.
|
| 00:31:06 | My sister came to visit me, and she was very,
um,
into the horoscope and all that,
and she told me that he was gonna make my
life hell,
he was gonna be a handful,
and he has been.
|
| 00:31:23 | He was a little devil.
|
| 00:31:25 | He wasa little devil.
|
| 00:31:26 | Out of control, hyper, so much energy.
|
| 00:31:29 | The teachers used to tell my parents that
I was just a troublemaker.
|
| 00:31:32 | I used to do whatever I could to be the center
of attention.
|
| 00:31:38 | Vinnie's hyperactivity was getting worse.
|
| 00:31:42 | ..
|
| 00:31:43 | A lot of the mothers didn't want their kids
playing with vinnie.
|
| 00:31:48 | I was having fun.
|
| 00:31:48 | I didn't know that it was wrong.
|
| 00:31:50 | I didn't know it bothered everybody,
but I used to do it to make people laugh,
to make it a joke.
|
| 00:31:55 | My heart ached every day for vinnie,
the fact that this is my child and I love
him so much,
but there were so many days I didn't want
him around.
|
| 00:32:17 | Ritalin made me feel retarded,
like it slowed me down so much where I felt
like a zombie.
|
| 00:32:22 | Most of the time, I would just spit it out,
'cause the nurse would give it to me every
day,
and I didn't-- wouldn't even take it.
|
| 00:32:30 | My parents, they didn't know how to handle
vinnie,
you know, especially my dad.
|
| 00:32:35 | He didn't know what he was doing.
|
| 00:32:37 | Like, if they fall down,
his first instinct would be
to smack 'em and say, you know, "look at
"
