I don't think people realize how much of this goes on. I have always looked very young for my age, and when I was out on my own I probably looked 14-15 and would get a lot of older adult attention.
@@Chancel388 Yeah, a couple specifics I remember -- couple that told me they have a place in NYC and modeling agency connections, a guy stopped me in Walmart offered me a job, gave me a card and told me to go to the address. If I were 14 I think I might have processed it differently. .
The fact that his own family did this to him, caused all of this, just because of him being gay, which is natural, is just dsgsting. They did all this just because of the chlt they're in.
yes and the goverment need to do something about trafficking, they hunt down and kidnap vulnerable people of all ages. Always keep an open communication with your child and be supportive of their choices.
I have always looked really young for my age, so when I was a young adult I looked 14,15, I subbed for a bit and teachers would come into the room and think I was a student in middle school/high school classes, even tried to dress more adult. I also got a lot of attention from older adults, and never really connected it.
@Gee-xb7rt 😔 Ugh it must be terrible looking soooo young & having creeps be attracted to you because you look under 18. I am SO sorry you have to experience that. I hope it doesn't impact your self confidence & that your beauty shines despite the idiots in this world. You deserve to feel comfortable. 🩷
His family not accepting him is why this happened smfh! Poor baby! I hope he heals from this trauma and is happier and safe now around people who actually care about him
Exactly, even if the child is different and you don’t like that difference in them. Raised them until they’re old enough to leave and live their own lives. It’s not that hard.
If this was a woman everyone would be feeling sorry. But this is a man, a survivor, and people don't seem to care. He deserved better, he was just a child.
@@ashleywatkins1380 yes which is the case many times. If only the person had an unconditional loving family to turn to during times of uncertainty or questions

@@WilliamsPinchUgh and to think that someone i was friends with in high school for a very short time just got arrested for having child pornography…you can’t trust anyone these days. Mind you i just graduated high school in May. We’re literally living amongst these monsters.
I'm so glad that his experience didn't completely RUIN him. I'm sure that it did ruin his life for quite a while. But I'm so happy that he is able to educate others so hopefully it prevents some from ending up in the same situation.
As a straight man my entire life my entire childhood i was bullied abused etc always alone for me to get by i choose drugs and alcohol im 41 now still here still alone cuz i trust no one cuz everytime i did trust all i got was stabbed in the back so ill ride alone until god finally takes me home
I am so disgusted by the married man saying that to him. What a brave young man. It always breaks my heart when parents turn their children away because more likely than not they end up being horribly abused or in dangerous situations
The amount of lgbt members whose family abandons them is why they commonly end up in these horrific situations. Every time I see stories like this the family let the kid down big time. Why have kids to abandon them for their sexual orientation??….. but the amount of parents defending their rapist/murder children with no issue is just insane. MIMS. I’m happy he is free.
Nothing you did caused what happened to you. The adults around you failed you. You're such a strong person. Stay strong and love yourself. I hope you find peace and happiness.
Thank you for sharing your story and raising awareness to this issue. It’s more common than most people believe. I’m sorry you went through those struggles. I can relate. ❤ hope the rest of your life is filled with happiness!
Can’t believe I am sharing this but I almost got abused /raped by two men that were at my school and luckily I told my dad before it happened and my teacher but all they got was slapped in the wrist no expelled nothing just cause I was in a special needs class the staff just did nothing for me and I was very very disappointed in them
@@alisyntateduets don’t worry I feel the same. I had something similar happen. But it was with an ex gf of mine. But it’s good now. She’s out of my life now
They have a place i forgot what's its called and its for teens to go to if they been abandoned or kicked out and they help the teens stay off the streets. I wish they had more places like that out there. They said the high rate of teens that were there were apart of the LGBTQ and Trans community. I hope this guy finds happiness with a guy that can treat him the way he deserves to be treated and that is with love and care and no more hurt. Update I just found the name of the place it's called Covenant House , helps youth in need of overcome homelessness. They have helped over 2,200.00 youth in the past year with a safe place to sleep. We definitely need more places like this out here
Even if parents do not agree with their son or daughter being gay, they should still live them and care for them. Abandoning them only puts them at risks that end up in tragedy. Those who claim to be Christian or any other faith in God group, most especially should love and care for their children. They don’t have to accept their child’s sexuality orientation, but at least in any Christian group, religion, institution, etc. the commandment is to love.
He truly seems like such a nice young man, it breaks my heart that people aren’t accepted in their own family, because of who they love. I’m terrified of sex trafficking, it seems like it happens so fast and they find any way to manipulate you. Thank you for sharing this story, and I’m so glad he made it out alive ❤️
My best friend in middle school and high school was a gay kid named Bryce. In the 8th grade him and I were throwing a frisbee around and a football jock kid threw it out in the street. I told him to go get it, and he shoved me. I rocked back and nailed him in the mouth. He had braces..... yeah, there was a lot of blood and I was suspended for a number of days. When my mom came and got me and asked what had happened, and I told her, she took me to Thrifty and bought me ice cream, and told me I did a good job, not letting people screw with me and my friend.
@@ghostnervee If you watched it, he was talking about being picked on because he was gay. Which when I was a kid, actually happened. In fact there was a kid probably twice my size that was gay and they picked on him. Luke. One time they were messing with him and I told them unless they wanted a fight they should go find something else to go do with themselves. Then I asked Luke why he didn't stand up for himself. He just wasn't inclined to.
"Will I ever be that [carefree] person again? The answer is 'no.'" This is so true. It doesn't get better. You DO gain skills that help you cope better! And eventually happiness can shine through at times. But, for better or worse, you'll never return to being the person you were before. When your innocence is exploited, experience is your lot. There's good and bad and grief in that.
No. At the age of 18 after the trafficking, I had enough of him sleeping with other people and I got into a confrontation with him and he called the cops on me. When the cop asked if I had shoved him I said of course and told them about the sexual abuse I had been experiencing since I was a teenager. The officer put me into handcuffs and I went to jail.

someone I was friends with in high school for less than a month just got arrested for explicit child material. I just graduated hs in May. I would’ve never guessed that he would have those sick intentions to do those things. He literally seemed like a normal friendly talkative person.
Even though it feels weird to be sharing this to a bunch of strangers (trigger warning). But an ex gf of mine did some unwanted things. In our relationship that lasted 8 months. I thought everything was fine and I thought we were happy. All seemed perfectly fine when she brought up the topic of s*x in April. I was shocked to be honest and I didn’t know what to think because she’s never brought up that topic before and we were only 6 months into our relationship. I just felt like I wasn’t ready. But she promised she would be gentle with me because she knew I never done anything like that before. But I felt uncomfortable but I felt like if I didn’t agree with her she would get mad. Before when she would ask to have a sleepover or to hang out and my parents would tell me that we couldn’t and I would tell her that she would say “I wish we could have a sleepover.” Or “I wish we could hang out” so… that weekend we had a sleepover and she waited until my parents fell asleep. And she put a blindfold on herself. She would tell me that I could do anything I wanted to her but I felt so uncomfortable in that moment.. because my ex bf used to touch me without my consent but he never got that far. At the end of what happened we would talk like normal but I couldn’t help but shake the feeling of what she did was wrong. She has a past of getting r@ped and I thought that since that happened she wouldn’t ever want to do that to anyone else. But at every sleepover after that she always wanted to do that. I remember just getting bad stomach pain and I would always tremble when it came to it but she told me “it’s okay it’s just your anxiety. It’ll go away over time.” Or her telling me to breathe and all that. I remember her telling me that we would have to do it at my place because she would get in trouble for doing it there. She called it experimenting. After we broke up I found out from a mutual friend of ours that my ex gf was trash talking me and saying how inexperienced I was and just other things. I didn’t want to hold back anymore and I told her everything that my ex gf did. My friend encouraged me to tell someone but I was too scared…. Until one day after school my mom and dad sat me down after sending my siblings to their rooms. My dad told me what happened and I just remember crying and telling everything. My mom was crying because she had experienced the same thing but never spoke up about it. It makes me emotional talking about this but my parents were proud of me for saying something and telling someone and they’re grateful for the friend that spoke up.
@@EvonneLindiwe even though it’s been awhile since it happened and my parents spoke with me last month about it. It still makes me sick and I’m honestly scared of dating again.
It’s ironic all the people claiming they’d never abandon their child, yet vote for people who want to take away their rights. The hypocrisy is staggering. You might as well just have thrown your kid to the wolves. It’s the same outcome.
So sad. This is why you love your child till death and always give them a home even if they mess up. No judgment. Bless this man whos childhood was robbed
It’s not necessarily a gender-base problem. Thousands of young people with low self-esteem go through this. Online dating is normal and high-risk behavior is overall too common. Young people often don’t know how bad it is out there.
If your kid is gay and you're homophobic.... At least let them stay at your care until they're an adult and independent enough to take care of themselves. Kicking out your underage gay kid is basically just giving out easy food for predators. Don't be complicit to "supporting" predators.
How can a parent ever do this 💔 I would accept my son no matter what, I would never put him out for his sexuality I will accept my son in whatever his journey is.
That's not christian love. There is no much thing as "hate "in God's perfect love. His family just used religion. Please don't confused religion with Jesus christ and God's love. Please Jesus even spoke on this. People just twist God's words around smh
I am a Christian and I believe Jesus is the answer. My daughter came out as a lesbian and it didn't change my love for her. You don't have to agree with everything your kid does. But I would never abandon my daughter. I would fight for her and die for her if necessary.
The fact that his own family did this to him, caused all of this, just because of him being gay, which is natural, is just dsgsting. They did all this just because of the chlt they're in.
Sadly it might look that way. But satan does this. Thats what the devil does. He comes to lie steal and destroy. We must be aware of the devils schemes
His family was not the cause of this. Yes they should have accepted him and no moved him away but social media caused this to happen, a kid being naive caused this.
You don’t get it. The fact that YOU believe it is a sin in the first place is the problem. It’s highly unlikely someone would love something they consider to be an abomination. Change your beliefs. It’s causing immense harm and suffering.
How about you stop believing love, in a world so full of hatred, is somehow an abomination or sin. How anyone could join a cult that calls people sinners for loving someone is so far beyond me. If you want to live like Jesus in your cult book, act like him!

Thank you for sharing your story, I hope many teenagers will see this and know what is not ok.
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻❤️ your strength, light and resilience is immense ❤
So proud that you share your experience. Thank you.
So sorry you went thru this experience!!! 😢
Mind boggles me how an older person can brainwash an underage into believing it's his fault all this abuse from adults is his fault . Smh
This happened to me, but I escaped . God bless you for your strength, bravery , and wisdom 🙏
someone I was friends with in high school for less than a month just got arrested for explicit child material. I just graduated hs in May. I would’ve never guessed that he would have those sick intentions to do those things. He literally seemed like a normal friendly talkative person.
TRUST NO ONE!
Even though it feels weird to be sharing this to a bunch of strangers (trigger warning). But an ex gf of mine did some unwanted things. In our relationship that lasted 8 months. I thought everything was fine and I thought we were happy. All seemed perfectly fine when she brought up the topic of s*x in April. I was shocked to be honest and I didn’t know what to think because she’s never brought up that topic before and we were only 6 months into our relationship. I just felt like I wasn’t ready. But she promised she would be gentle with me because she knew I never done anything like that before. But I felt uncomfortable but I felt like if I didn’t agree with her she would get mad. Before when she would ask to have a sleepover or to hang out and my parents would tell me that we couldn’t and I would tell her that she would say “I wish we could have a sleepover.” Or “I wish we could hang out” so… that weekend we had a sleepover and she waited until my parents fell asleep. And she put a blindfold on herself. She would tell me that I could do anything I wanted to her but I felt so uncomfortable in that moment.. because my ex bf used to touch me without my consent but he never got that far. At the end of what happened we would talk like normal but I couldn’t help but shake the feeling of what she did was wrong. She has a past of getting r@ped and I thought that since that happened she wouldn’t ever want to do that to anyone else. But at every sleepover after that she always wanted to do that. I remember just getting bad stomach pain and I would always tremble when it came to it but she told me “it’s okay it’s just your anxiety. It’ll go away over time.” Or her telling me to breathe and all that. I remember her telling me that we would have to do it at my place because she would get in trouble for doing it there. She called it experimenting. After we broke up I found out from a mutual friend of ours that my ex gf was trash talking me and saying how inexperienced I was and just other things. I didn’t want to hold back anymore and I told her everything that my ex gf did. My friend encouraged me to tell someone but I was too scared…. Until one day after school my mom and dad sat me down after sending my siblings to their rooms. My dad told me what happened and I just remember crying and telling everything. My mom was crying because she had experienced the same thing but never spoke up about it. It makes me emotional talking about this but my parents were proud of me for saying something and telling someone and they’re grateful for the friend that spoke up.
I’m so sorry this happened to you… I’ve been there 💐 I hope you get counselling
@@EvonneLindiwe even though it’s been awhile since it happened and my parents spoke with me last month about it. It still makes me sick and I’m honestly scared of dating again.
It’s ironic all the people claiming they’d never abandon their child, yet vote for people who want to take away their rights. The hypocrisy is staggering. You might as well just have thrown your kid to the wolves. It’s the same outcome.
So proud of Him, what a strong and kind man ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sad. This is why you love your child till death and always give them a home even if they mess up. No judgment. Bless this man whos childhood was robbed
It’s not necessarily a gender-base problem. Thousands of young people with low self-esteem go through this. Online dating is normal and high-risk behavior is overall too common. Young people often don’t know how bad it is out there.
Hmm, I see
30yrs, which isn't even 30yrs, isn't nearly enough time!!!
Don’t have kids if you can’t love them UNCONDITIONALLY.
Ventura County needs this man to come speak.
God Bless you young Man 🙏
Will there you go parents....you just destroyed your own son's life way to go parents way to go.. ..SMH 👏👏
If your kid is gay and you're homophobic.... At least let them stay at your care until they're an adult and independent enough to take care of themselves. Kicking out your underage gay kid is basically just giving out easy food for predators. Don't be complicit to "supporting" predators.
Poor sweet soul. I'm sorry for all you had to endure. How horrific. I hope you can live your truth safely from now on ❤
What a strong man. It couldve easily been me when i was younger
So proud of you!!
I am so sorry this happened to you 😢
His parents should be charged as well.
How can a parent ever do this 💔 I would accept my son no matter what, I would never put him out for his sexuality I will accept my son in whatever his journey is.
"I can't believe you let him do that to you"-- that's what I was told too!!!
Parents, don't let this happen to your child no matter what!
Oh I am so so so very sorry this happened to you!
What a sad experience. Hope he is mentally well
Thank you for sharing your story 🙏🫶🥰 your brave 💯
im sorry but his family is horrible, he didnt deserve to go thru all that
His family failed him 100%. He was just a precious, innocent lamb sent to slaughter. There is no hate quite like 'Christian' love.😢
So TRUE
What ? What a ridiculous take. If you love someone you tell them the truth
That's not christian love. There is no much thing as "hate "in God's perfect love. His family just used religion. Please don't confused religion with Jesus christ and God's love. Please Jesus even spoke on this. People just twist God's words around smh
I am a Christian and I believe Jesus is the answer. My daughter came out as a lesbian and it didn't change my love for her. You don't have to agree with everything your kid does. But I would never abandon my daughter. I would fight for her and die for her if necessary.
@@wardenwilkes4510 you still love them but that doesn't mean you support the lifestyle choice.
Always educate your children and support them.
Well I got to hand it to homeboy he got a story to tell😮
Sending so much love and prayers to him and the other victims of trafficking. This is just awful. Thank you for covering this topic.
Blessing to Jose very proud of him
You were just a teen .. no red flag would have given off
The fact that his own family did this to him, caused all of this, just because of him being gay, which is natural, is just dsgsting. They did all this just because of the chlt they're in.
Sadly it might look that way. But satan does this. Thats what the devil does. He comes to lie steal and destroy. We must be aware of the devils schemes
The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy.
His family was not the cause of this. Yes they should have accepted him and no moved him away but social media caused this to happen, a kid being naive caused this.
Parents please love your children through sin. Not isoalte them.
You don’t get it. The fact that YOU believe it is a sin in the first place is the problem. It’s highly unlikely someone would love something they consider to be an abomination. Change your beliefs. It’s causing immense harm and suffering.
@@XXgamemaster /\ This! Cheers!
How about you stop believing love, in a world so full of hatred, is somehow an abomination or sin. How anyone could join a cult that calls people sinners for loving someone is so far beyond me. If you want to live like Jesus in your cult book, act like him!
Such a sad story I'm so happy he is doing better now
