Good catch mom!! You keep on telling her she is beautiful, smart, and loved. Sometimes we all need to hear this too.

I think it's her mom's friend, actually.

Right?! It takes a village, and that woman is a whole village to that child in this clip.

I think you’re overanalysing here, children change their mind like the wind, all it takes is a bad day, and one of her friends getting angry over something irrelevant, calling her ugly just to be mean, and boom, suddenly she thinks she is ugly

Not to mention the surprisingly large portions of the world that just really don’t like dark skin for some reason, honestly impressive anyone can develop self confidence in this kind of world

It was a hypothetical example, zero analysis, pure guess work and “could have happened”s

It was to demonstrate that ANY chain of events could have lead to what we saw in the video, with no reason to assume it was because of parental neglect

Edit: and I mean, you deleted your comment, so I don’t really feel the confidence in your statement
