Special Report: Friends Don’t Let Friends Die Posted: Apr 15, 2010 3:12 PM PDT OKLAHOMA – It is proof that underage drinking and drugs is a big problem. According to the government, excessive alcohol consumption, often coupled with illegal drug use is responsible for nearly 300000 emergency room visits each year for people under 21. The government is so concerned, they are organizing over 2000 town hall meetings to sound the alarm and raise awareness. Experts’ major area of concern is with teens and young adults not stepping in when friends are in trouble. Now, there is a grassroots organization hoping to change that. Not a day goes by when Pat and Lisa McCarthy do not think about their 16-year-old-daughter Danielle and wonder, what if? “They could have called me. I would have come and picked her up in a heartbeat, it would have been so simple. No one would have been in trouble,” said Lisa McCarthy. But no one did call, and Danielle died. According to court documents, she had been given ecstasy and asked friends to get her help but was denied. She had a seizure and eventually died at a friend’s home. “The morning we found out she had died, we just couldn’t understand. We were wondering, how could she have died? And the first thing that came out of my mouth was, ‘friends don’t let friends die.’,” said Pat McCarthy. Unfortunately, that was not always the case. And, unfortunately, Danielle is not the only victim. That is why her family launched a non-profit organization …

being a homeless youth is like a lifestyle for them they choose to fit in with the other homeless people

@DeutscheGesinnung I have been riding the rails and “tramping” accross America for years now. I have a business and a bank account, and these are some of the folks I camp with. How judgemental you are shows your real colors. If your bank had an accounting accident and you ended up on the street I hope I get the pleasure to spit in your face.
@dizave1225 they dont have money for them they just know people who do them.

I love your video. I was homeless for a year in Venice Beach with my daughters. It’s hard to see what we saw when we were out there I wish I would have had a camera. No one know if they will ever be out there I hope I never am again. But, I do see the world a little diff now. Thank you for making this! All of us thank you!

The Lord loves these people. Shouldn’t we as well? Please try to help homeless people when you can. Most of us have a coat or some food to share. Love one another.

Don’t be so quick to judge
@dizave1225 Most of them do the tattoos themselves! But the wheelchair thing I have to agree on.
@Idonotknow123408 That’s what I like to hear
Fucking bums are always playing the victim about something. Truth is, they are drunks or drug addicts and no one should feel an ounce of pity for these losers.
Oh my god, there are so many people I know/friends in this video. I’m from Rosendale/New Paltz/High Falls. I’m really excited to see more of this. I hope you release the full documentary soon.
due to the low life trash hating American that have bought the big company’s to there knee’s, with all the union that is why we lost to china and the middle east. But the Mexicans take the blue collar work that ones we were the plumbers contactor gardener’s cook’s even the bus boys, meat packing. fence building and day labors now we can not work for the low pay they get and pay our tax’s too. Yes, it the Mexicans that are to blame. 12 million Americans when to there country we trash it
I see homeless youth sometimes. Of course, they are hanging outside the hipster joints, so I can’t tell if they’re actually homeless or if they’re just being ironic. They all dress the same, act the same and sound the same, so it’s really hard to tell.
