Your mother was a monster and you don’t need to feel bad about anything. You were an innocent child and you deserved so much better. Love to you for your healing future ❤
The amount of courage it takes to tell your story is so commendable! Without a doubt, you are helping so many people just by sharing your experience. 🙏
i agree. i could never. i never even considered telling anyone if something happened to me. i don’t think i care anymore about the past but i do wonder if keeping things secret is the reason i have always had to fake happiness.
You mean abusers. Abusers use grooming but to call them ‘groomers’ diminishes the horrific abuses they perpetrate on their victims, and ignores that grooming is just the first step of the abuse.
Childhood trauma survivors have an amazing ability to find gratitude despite life's circumstances. The experience about your 15 year old friend resonated with me the most. He probably was settling him up to take his place. I am grateful that he can no longer hurt other children. He was a disgusting man.
No child or person should ever be ashamed of telling on a predator. You were a child!!! The guy was sick in his head & you did nothing wrong ! Thank you for having the courage to tell your story. Glad he was charged & not here anymore to hurt any more children. Wishing you many blessings to you & your beautiful family🌻
You’re so brave to tell us your story of what happened to you. I was molested by my own cousin from the age of 4 or 5 till almost my teenage years. I have to say I wet the bed until I was almost a teenager too. It’s sad that we’re too skeered to say anything until we’re older. My cousin is still walking the streets even though he ruined my life.
I am so glad you survived the abuse, sexual assault and neglect! I also want to thank you for serving our country for 8 years! May God continue to give you the strength and wisdom to share your story with other victims and help future victims identify the signs of a creep and sexual deviant! God bless! 🙏🙏💝💝💝
They didn’t know he was a monster and wanted their grandson to keep his friends they are not the cause or the reason this happened and that’s how this happens all the time - we have to trust people in order to socialize and do business and sometimes wicked people take advantage of our trust
It was common sense to me. I would’ve never allow my child or grandchild to hang around a 36-year-old man at the age of 12. Who would do that? It’s sick.
@@naimahyara I agree but I think some parents or grandparents get tired of entertaining their kids day in day out and make excuses in their mind that it’s ok to hang out with this guy when it’s clearly not. When parents get tired of their kids there’s always someone else who will be willing to give them attention
Your courage and strength definitely is inspiring for others to speak out. We have to teach our children that the abuser is the one to carry the shame... Not the abused. So glad to hear your life is great. Praise be to God for that. Hugs from fellow abused.
I wish there was a LOVE button for this video. It’s so difficult to tell the details of SA incidents. Thank you for giving others the strength to come forward and heal! There is nothing shameful about what any SA victim has went through. The only thing shameful are the acts of the perpetrators who manipulate these type of situations #JusticeforJustUs
That takes courage to report something so traumatic! I’m so proud of that little 15yr old boy and who he has become today. Thank you for everything you do. Sharing your story and making people feel less alone is key in healing. Thank you.❤
Wow this story makes me feel like mother of the year. I'm so sorry this happened to u. Every child deserves a mother but not every mother deserves her child 😢 I admire u for sharing ur story. It's very brave ❤ may happiness find u despite ur trauma
I am so sorry you went through this. It is crazy how good these predators are at their game! They are so calculating and have always thought of everything so their always 10 steps ahead of you.
So sorry you went thru all the abuse and very very happy for you that you rised above it all. You became a survivor and a beautiful person with a beautiful family. Glad you healed and helping others. You have accomplished many good things.
I’m so sorry you had to experience this for so long. So many people failed to protect you. I am so impressed that you finally spoke up and followed through. I am also a survivor and I have not had the courage to speak out for myself and I definitely have guilt thinking about could have I could have been a victim because I have not had the strength to come out and take a chance on hurting my family and especially my dad. This was my half brother 8 years older than me. I know that my parents never knew what was going on and I was threatened not to tell because if I told I was going to be in trouble, I was only 6 and I never wanted to make our parents mad at me. When he moved he had such a hold on my mind and until I was 42 years old I had held everything in including the conversations that he would have with me. I went to visit my dad because he wasn’t able to come visit me. We plans to be there together because our dad needed help with medication, I refuse to tell my dad because of his fragile state. Once he is no longer around I plan on letting the family know because he is this amazing man that is on a pedistool by according our aunt and uncles. He know longer can boss me around and he is very aware that I have changed .
Wow I am absolutely amazed at how brave, focused and articulate u are telling this horrific ordeal. Pure strength of will and a profound dedication to help others. We all have so much to learn from this story of survival and redemption. Thanks so much 🙏🏻👏💪
God bless you ❤you saved so many more young boys after you none of this was ever your fault but you are pure diamonds ❤and yes your not a victim your a hero ❤💎💪💞💓🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm sorry that this had happened to you & without having the appropriate adult guidance & protection. You seem to be a well rounded person despite all that you'd been through. Thank you for sharing your story so others parents will have the awareness of recognizing these predators.
Incredible courage to discuss this with everyone. You are amazing. So glad that you've come out the other end. I would love to stress to anyone out there no matter how "nice" someone can be,please don't leave your child alone with them. A 36 year old man having a friendship with a 12 year old isn't normal and don't accept it. So glad this boy turned into such a strong man x
This is courage. His ability to tell this story in such a raw way, especially for a man in a culture where there is still so much shame around child molestation... wow.
It takes courage and faith to share this type of experience. I pray that anyone who has the strength to overcome such abuse Call someone, get that person off the streets 🙄 one day, all predators will get their just-due God sees all
Absolutely incredible story of strength, resilience, and the human spirit, you as a little boy suffering at the hands of such a predator is absolutely heartbreaking, you are a true survivor and inspiration. I wish you all the love and happiness you deserve.
******* PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO FROM BEGINNING TO THE END ****** 🎉❤❤️🔥 Wow!!!!!!!! I am blown away!. I'm so sorry this happened to you. This is so disturbing. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 This is definitely a story of triumph! You a certainly a hero! 💜 Thank you for your services and thank you for sharing! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story, and Thank you for your service. You went through so much as a child and I'm so sorry to hear that, always remember that you do matter. God bless
My brother went through that with an older cousin. He was only 5 when it started, and went on for years 😢 The cousin eventually moved on to other victims, but got caught molesting his own daughter by his wife. She left him. Later he went to prison for trying to meet up with a child, and having tons of child porn on his computer. He got therapy, and during this he revealed that he was sexually abused by his own grandfather. So many sick people out there.
Wow you are a brave man for telling your story. There's so many men who are shamed into not telling their stories. You just blessed so many and don't even know it. Lord please give all victims the strength and courage to tell and get these sickos locked up and also heal them all through their pain.
You have a lot of courage, thank you for sharing this. I was a divorced mom of 4 and I often had to leave them to work and put dinner on the table,so I get it and it’s something I’ll always feel bad about. But I loved my kids with a passion,and we talked about everything,I always took their side, even when I maybe shouldn’t have :) but you must believe and listen to your kids!! We were pretty poor, but had a lot of love,and I’d never be ok with hitting your children and have a bunch of dudes sting around with your kids ? Like NO! I was very aware of child sexual abuse,and was my biggest fear because you eventually start trusting adults that you make friends with…but how on earth did your mom not clue in? I’m sorry you had to go through that,but you sharing like this, may save other kids!
im so glad u are telling the story of survival. one thing you said was that nothing was forced and you were never scare. as a child, even if you asked him to touch you you were a child and any loving and caring adult would call cps and a therapist. it was never your fault, it wasn't your fault you thought it felt good at some points. You were forced because you were groomed. every adult failed you but now you survived, tell your story and create a better future for the next generation
Male testimony is so rare, so thank you for your courage. 💜💜💜
He never wavered when going into the horrible details of his abuse. He has gone far in his healing
So true
He is bold ❤
Your mother was a monster and you don’t need to feel bad about anything. You were an innocent child and you deserved so much better. Love to you for your healing future ❤
You came out of your trauma with strength, courage, wisdom and a beautiful heart.
He's very well adjusted, considering what he's been through.💚

@@Padilla-81 See what you just did there? You took a step. We love you. We always did. We always will. Keep on.
@@Padilla-81absolutely because you have to be happy with yourself FIRST in order just to be Happy😊
from your horrible childhood you have grown into an amazing man
I like how he explained himself. And expressed his experience. It isnt common for men to open up about this. I am extremely proud and grateful he did.
He has perspective. Strength. Compassion. And a bit of humor even in tragedy.
This guy is the embodiment of resilience!
You are very brave in being so transparent about the abuse. I don’t think my shame would allow me to. It’s very admirable.
I freaking HATE groomers !!!
God has a plan for them. It's called hell
💯 I do too.

! Thank you for having the courage to tell your story. Glad he was charged & not here anymore to hurt any more children. Wishing you many blessings to you & your beautiful family🌻

Why would his grand parents allow him to be friends with a grown man that was a major red flags

@@2021noname He said later that they also knew he was molested at 5 years old. Should have been more alert to it.
@@2021noname Your responses are bit strange to be honest.
This is so so sad but a wonderful ending.
Your courage and strength definitely is inspiring for others to speak out. We have to teach our children that the abuser is the one to carry the shame... Not the abused.
So glad to hear your life is great. Praise be to God for that. Hugs from fellow abused.
You’re a true warrior ❤ and I love the fact you won’t speak his name.

Most men never report and they hold on to it and it causes even more trauma.
Drugs
Mental illness
Homelessness 😔

Thank you for telling your story. It made me cry. You're a perfect example of post traumatic growth. I am a mom to a young boy. I cannot imagine.
