The trauma that flooded David's face by asking about his childhood was visceral. I wasn't sure I could get through this interview. Be kind to children, protect them.
I've never cried watching an interview before this one. The pain is so obvious and visible on his face it hurts me too. I just want to hug this man, he's still a child in his mind
That silence that filled the air after mark asked how his childhood was was so bold. 🥺 You creating such a safe place is so amazing mark, I just adore you so much.
This man is stuck at 14. I wish i could hug him and tell him he does have value. I don't consider him a child molester. He was a kid, too. What happened to him completely rewired his brain. He deserves forgiveness (including from himself) and love. I just don't even see a 41 year old man. I see a 14 boy. He seems afraid of life, not death, like he says. He needs to allow himself to experience joy. He is a victim. I hope he gets better help.
@@loz1725 What are you talking about? What are the 2 wrongs? He is genuinely sorry and will forever be known as a child molester, even when HE was also a kid. Is his apology the other wrong?? I'm so tired of fake compassion. You don't care about that girl. She is completely unknown. We saw ONE story...his. We know absolutely zero about the girl. Saying her life was destroyed proves my point. You don't know that. The only life you can actually SEE is destroyed is his. No one said he doesn't deserve punishment, but I'm saying he also deserves forgiveness, because he seems sincere in his apology. How could any of that be a second wrong?! What you said makes no sense is extremely obvious that you are fake and pretending to be a "good person" when you don't even understand what it takes to be that kind of person. What is your goal? For strangers to think, "What a good person, who cares so much about this girl, who goes through comments to find something to criticize and try to compete for "most compassionate," and condemn anyone who has ever done anything wrong despite their apparent regret. THAT person must be absolutely full of goodness and never did anything to hurt anyone ever. THAT person must have no regrets and have no need to apologize because they are so good." Is that what you're looking for? You look foolish, and in your quest to seem better than everyone, you actually look like a judgemental dick who leaves no room for redemption. Forgiveness isn't a "wrong." It's what allows for growth, closure on difficult ordeals, and healthy human connection. If your goal was attention, I hope I indulged you. Savor it.
@@loz1725 the issue is that he was a young child getting violently raped by multiple siblings and no parents stepping in to tell him it was wrong, so by the time he molested her he would have had no idea the boundaries sexually he was supposed to be in. It’s different than someone who has been taught right from wrong. He clearly was not and he was also 13. It’s awful all around.
the moment he started crying, i broke down too. i am so sorry he had to go through this.. my heart goes out to you, david. i hope you find peace and healing
"I have no time to talk to people. I struggle all day. So it's an all day process to get well." I don't think he could have summed up the state that he's in any better than that. Just heartbreaking 😔
You're a good boy, David. I know you have a lot of guilt and paranoia about abusing your sister. But you didn't know any better. I hope you can get the help you need and deserve. We're all rooting for you. You're not a bad person. Please don't give up. I can see that you're a kind soul. Good luck man
To David: my brother I feel your pain. I feel your fear. I feel your anger. Most importantly, I feel your wondering. Wondering why no one came to help. Why didn't anyone see the signs?! WHY??!! Your willingness to share your story, while painful, will help someone. Just one person to help another...to stop the cycle. Like you I wasn't protected. I became a victim. I thought I was damaged beyond repair. Through the struggles I stopped being a victim and became a survivor. NEVER stop fighting to regain yourself. NEVER give into the pain. All my love and prayers for you, my brother. RESPECT
I can't wait until I'm trained to help people like him. So much pain in this mans eyes. Need to bring this man back to his childhood, forgive and show himself love. He says people wouldn't want to help. I would do anything to help people in this position.
You are very kind. But many people are so badly damaged they can't change. The happy future we want for these people is often unattainable. I hope that when you discover this you will be able to protect yourself from getting depressed about it.
@@5p674 I understand why you say that, but please remember that change doesn't have to mean magically having a 'normal' life like so many of us are privileged to have. It means they could be helped to move forward, to be shown how to pick the flowers from the weeds. Just because we can't always 'save' people doesn't mean we shouldn't help to improve their quality of life even by a tiny amount. I understand why you say what you say, but let's try not to leave people behind if we can help it :)
@@Wild.Flower yes for sure, it's about creating a future they want to live for. Whatever that may entail. Most people that are addicted do not want to be.
Most people can change give the time or correct need. Everyone will change within different time frames and from a different process. Being sober from addiction is a life long journey, you have to be conscious of your thought patterns everyday.
Omg. That mans face crumbled and morphed into the little boys face of which he once was. So heartbreaking. Sending so much respect and love and healing white light❤
No one protected him. The adults in his young life need to have accountability and acknowledge their failures. That might start the healing process. He's so broken and my heart breaks for him.💔
It’s a fucking sick joke that his abusers probably aren’t registered offenders but this poor soul is having to humiliate himself by registering every year.
Wow not even 10 seconds in and I'm feeling the tears flooding my eyes.... Interviews like this, really make me want to do something different with my life so I can help people.... I was an addict for over 20 years and was in and out of the penitentiary system.... It took me losing my baby brother to an overdose to snap out of it.... Life is so fragile and precious.... Be kind to the children, because they grow up broken if they didn't have love growing up.
One thing I love about these interviews is it shows that these people never really had a fair shake in life everything starts in childhood I hope bro works thru his pain
Psych nurse here, l've worked at the emergency psych unit many times. Most of the patients are off the streets experiencing psychosis. Once we stabalize them and get to know a little bit of their Why they eneded up this way..its truly heart breaking.😢😢MAJORITY suffered from CSA. It angers me so much that people are capable of hurting these little souls. I believe had they never experienced such abuse, they'd be pretty normal people with average problems like most of us...this type of abuse just does something to the soul that is very hard to recover from.🥺🥺🥺l hope David knows he was a victim. We are with you David, speak your truth. We are rooting for you and all those little souls that experienced this.
I feel so bad for David! His story is gut wrenching! He is such a handsome young man who was sexually abused, and unfortunately the cycle continues with a lot of cases because that's all they know! He tortures himself because of the horrible experiences he had to endure! I really hope he gets the help that's needed for him to rise above the demons that haunt him! Thanks for your help , Mark! I just saw the update to his story that I will watch after this video! He has deep ptsd. Very, very sad case!
David needs therapy ASAP. After seeing the follow-up, his pain has so many layers as a victim and for his actions. I honestly did not see the depth of his reality. David, please get help. You need to be on a 5150 hold. Get help applying for disability. You can have a good life but you need help getting there. Mark, thank you for modifying David's interview. It makes a huge difference. I was a clinical social worker. This is more of an evaluation. This is far more insight. David has insight. I have hope for him. I really do. He reached out for help. That is significant.
I agree he needs intensive therapy before he hurts himself. If he is hurt others that’s also a concern. He needs care, life lessons. Please get him some help Mark.
Also a victim of sibling abuse. This resonates with me so much. I hope he knows it’s not his fault and he’s worthy of love and peace of mind. I hope he finds it🖤
This guy is so handsome and full of heart. I'm really shocked to find out how much older some of your guests are than they look, especially given how rough they live. You know I used to think about all the things I'd do with my money as far as amassing possessions, maybe traveling. Selfish things. Far from basic survival. I've been binging solely on this channel for over a week and now all I can think about is how in the world can we fix this giant mess. It's not as simple as money. It's not as simple as rehab. Each of these people need different things. They need time and a very patient support system. They need opportunities but they also need forgiveness rather than condemnation because when you have fallen to such a degree it's almost guaranteed you're going to make more mistakes before you get it right. Thanks so much for giving us these interviews, Mark. These have made me change the way I used to judge people.
If you raise your children right it isn't so much a challenge. It is inbedded in them and part of the person they are. Children know what they are taught.
If your kids are raping each other you are not much of a parent. I don’t care. This sounded like the parents knew and didn’t care. I’ve got kids. How the F do you not know this is going on? You aren’t wrong about getting kids to be kind is challenging but this is something more
David its not your fault for what happened to you as a child. You were taken advantage of and so disrespected by your own family which would make someone like you feel and do what you do. Prayers for peace of mind and for comfort in your hurting heart. Stay strong 💪 I'm so happy you spoke out and got some of that horrible stuff that happened to you. Bless you.David.
I am so saddened but DAVID, fight man. Fight like hell against your demons. I wanted to reach in this screen and let you cry. Damnit. I lost it. You got motivation but you got to get to right people to help. I'm a survivor and fight them everyday. Please please get help. I'm not even done with the interview yet and already wanting to scream. I'm mad. No excuses but people need to see the mental aspect of it. It's normal for you. When it's your WHOLE life. At least you took responsibility for it. I was a victim of physical and mental. The pain of ripping or cutting is just a release. It makes us feel better. Drugs seem great but you'll end up dead. It's never enough. I'm praying for you. I'm so glad this interview was not to point and blame. It's the understanding of the whole concept.
You should have him back another time, maybe he will feel more relaxed, not so nervous. My hope is that this sweet soul gets the help he needs. Gets into some solid recovery, some real true psychological healing, and is able to move forward into a beautiful future that he gets to actually enjoy while here on Earth. He deserves that.
From the first second of this video my heart stopped and my eyes got watery, and I just couldn’t stop thinking how much I want to give David a hug. A pure, kind, full of just good and love no evil no hurt no darkness just a pure hug so maybe even for a little he can feel that there is good and love in life and there’s good and love for him. I wish I could give him that from me. David I’m thinking about you, and I hurt your pain with you - sending you a big pure loving hug from Israel. Love, Ori
I just graduated a bachelor's of science nursing program 2 weeks ago. I've decided to work in mental health nursing. This video series she's so much light in places it needs.
David, we love you. You’re in so much pain. Working out, talking, praying, and letting god and spirit guide you. Do what you think is the right thing to do --in kindness and love, little by little you will get there. Just start. 💞♥️
Absolutely devastating. I am broken hearted for David. I feel angry that there is virtually nothing I can do to help him. Life is absolutely an arbitrary crap shoot and totally inequitable. I am amazed he can get through even a single day. Bless his poor soul.
why is he angel when he did something like that to his own sister too??? even so he was young and he didnt know that he's actions were wrong but that girl was younger.... it's terrible why are people only vitimizing him....
Sexual abuse messes you up so bad. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are. It’s something you never fully recover from. It stays with you. You learn to heal but you’re never fully recovered. I pray we all get the help we need❤️
David, I am sorry your childhood was traumatic. You did not deserve that. You deserved to be respected, protected and loved… you still deserve these things. I wish you would give them to yourself, everyday. ❤️
My prayer is that one day God will wipe away every tear, every sorrow, every bad moment, each and every terrible experience in a place that knows no sadness and all they’ll ever remember is the innocence of childhood that they have been robbed of.
Revelation 21:4 "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Amen.
My mom is a teacher in a foster home and spends her days with kids from broken homes and horrendous trauma like this. From the stories she tells me and the progress her students are making, I just wish David had someone like her growing up.
This just COMPLETELY broke my💔💔💔 And angered me. 😡😠😠😠 Tears flowing down my face. I want to just hug his pain away!! Lord please erase this pain from his life.
If he hears voices he should have been diagnosed by now and if he has schizophrenia he automatically will receive Social Security benefits immediately. Please let him know that he is eligible for these benefits. This poor man is suffering and needs help with a helping hand. You’re worthy David. Stay strong.
Man.. When I see a grown man crying it sadden my heart. He got messed up as a child with not fault of his own. David please, don't blame yourself. Stop hurting yourself, stop using meth because will get araused and in trouble. I suggest you to move from LA if You can. There are people out here who actually care about you.
Ohhhh he has such sad and painful eyes 😢😢😢 my heart bleeds for him. I truly hope that he gets his life together. Thank you so much David for this interview ❤❤❤
I wonder if regressive therapy would work for him. It's scary but powerful. I feel for u brother. And I hope one day you have peace in your life. You deserve it.
This is really sad, I can relate to his life. I too was molested as a child, I was molested all the way up til I graduated high school. I don't know how to help, All I can say is, I am sorry that you had to go through that stuff.
Oh my heavens. I could type million things. This sweet broken soul needs safety. In an environment he doesn't feel like he can be thrown away. God I want to hug his hurt right out of him. He has never felt love. Love that is boundless. My heart. I wish I could stand outside marks studio and hug the broken 💔's
We see you David. You are not alone. I can only imagine how hard that was/is for you. It was not your fault. The voices lie to you. Praying for you and hugging you from a distance.
I can still see the young boy in him and I want to give him a big hug! I really hope he finds healing, peace and genuine patient love in his life! God bless you! 💛
Poor guy man. I watch alot of these and I really feel for people. But David hits different. You and see, hear, and feel the pain he's in coming through the screen. I really hope the best for him and hope he can find peace
Run to Jesus my friend. He is the Way the Truth and the Life. Where everything and everyone else fails - He never has and never will. Surrender to Him. You are precious in His sight.
What do you think this guy is doing? If you think he needs more assistance then feel free to go help him yourself. He's a fkn junkie druggie. You go do it so he can lie and steal from you like he does everybody else.
Can't help but think about the thousands of children now being brought into this country to experience a similar fate/life. Always interesting and informative, thanks!
@@abraxasjinx5207 worldwide child trafficking industry. Child trafficking is a hidden “society” within society. It runs extremely deep and I would call it modern day slavery.
@@alienspeaking3938 David seems more like a victim of the foster care system though, I'm not sure how sex slavery plays in to this story. He was abused but no one trafficked him for that purpose.
@@abraxasjinx5207 it is relevant to this story because the foster care system is corrupt and allows for disadvantaged children to be the prime target for human traffickers. I’m just relating his individual experience to the larger issue that plagues society, which is the abuse of children.
oh man, Mark, you hit the heart with this one. Prays and thoughts go out to David. Thanks for bringing light and having a platform/voice for people like David. Mahahlo!
mark, i just wanna give you a big hug i’m so glad your doing the things you do. really changed my perspective about people on the streets you just never know 💔
Truly heartbreaking…Where the hell are the people that are paid to protect kids?! This country needs change. The government needs to put much more more money into helping children instead of B.S.that doesn’t matter!
Stay Strong David and take any help thats offered to you your a good man and a strong man to be able to speak about your past your in my thoughts and my heart, god bless from Ire;and
All strength and a thousand blessings to you, David, you are a warrior of life. You can keep going, many of us are with you (I want to know how David is doing, please?)🙏🙏🙏
Arrested development is when trauma is so severe the brain through a chemical to basically paralyse natural development, causing the age to pause until it feels safe to develope, yet the body continues to grow. It takes years of I tense therapy to undo the block. The brain has to feel completely safe. It's a survival technique. Often when abuse is consistent over 4weeks plus, the body and mind separate to endure what is about to happen.
He's in so.much pain. I'm.glad he takes responsibility for his actions and I hope that one day, perhaps a victims mediator could bring together him and his victim so he can apologise like he wants to. And I hope his victim will be willing to hear it.
Man, it has to be so therapeutic for some of these people to talk to someone about their past and trauma. It’s so unfortunate that some people have been dealt such a shitty fuckin hand. I hope this dude can find his way in life.
The fact that he blamed him self for the abuse he went trough really shows how messed up you get from sa ,like it destroys you for the rest of your life it’s crazy dude.
i dont want to share my mood, but i cry watching him, stopped watching his videos few times, do the things then come back to watch and i cry again. Painful when we dont have any place to lean on and to feel loved to feel save and heal. Wish him and all people have to experience these things the best. Wish them can live a real life and happy
Damnit. 3 mins in and I’m hysterical. David deserved better. We MUST protect the children AT ALL COST 😔 David you are loved. By strangers. If you were here I’d hug you for as long as you needed.
Sheeeshhh David is the epitome of trauma of (SA) when he couldn’t breathe when speaking when he felt choked up speak about it and the drug use is only a quick fix- therapy helped him but we as a society/community needs to take responsibility because the system failed him by evil people - you can see he is still 14 that’s what trauma does you remain stunted
This one stung, you could almost see the innocent child underneath the ink and years. God be with David
Yesss
So true. And his eyes…So much sadness. I have no words.
Omg I Felt the same. God...
Where was God when this poor boy was raped?
Excactly what I first thought
The trauma that flooded David's face by asking about his childhood was visceral. I wasn't sure I could get through this interview. Be kind to children, protect them.
My thoughts exactly. That hit me right in the heart.
Yep he was destroyed just thinking about it
The dad impulse I have to protect was triggered so hard by watching him cry … man , I feel for this guy. You can see the little boy inside
Or they will ended broken fighting it everyday for rest of the life.
It physically hurt to see the face he made
I've never cried watching an interview before this one. The pain is so obvious and visible on his face it hurts me too. I just want to hug this man, he's still a child in his mind
Your feelings resonate with me. David is so brave and I wish I could hug him too.
❄️
I've never wanted to hug someone from these vids as much as him... Something about him... just breaks my heart.
Same. My first thought was "omg I wish I could hug him and tell him he is worth something". This broke my heart
Two minute in, when his lip started shaking, I wanted to put my arms around him too.
God bless u david stay safe and strong and healthy
My heart breaks for this young man. 💔 He is a strong brave survivor. I just want to hug him and help him!
The innocence in his eyes is heart wrenching.
That silence that filled the air after mark asked how his childhood was was so bold. 🥺
You creating such a safe place is so amazing mark, I just adore you so much.
That silence spoke 1000 words …
Yes, safe place. I wish more people have that ability.
Safe space like that black girl who got killed right lmao
Same, this interview gives David his voice. Thank you mark for giving him a safe place.

If you raise your children right it isn't so much a challenge. It is inbedded in them and part of the person they are. Children know what they are taught.
If your kids are raping each other you are not much of a parent. I don’t care. This sounded like the parents knew and didn’t care. I’ve got kids. How the F do you not know this is going on? You aren’t wrong about getting kids to be kind is challenging but this is something more
There’s a scared little boy in that man’s body
David its not your fault for what happened to you as a child. You were taken advantage of and so disrespected by your own family which would make someone like you feel and do what you do. Prayers for peace of mind and for comfort in your hurting heart. Stay strong 💪 I'm so happy you spoke out and got some of that horrible stuff that happened to you. Bless you.David.
Wow David, please don't hurt yourself anymore 💔 you are someone special and deserves to forgive yourself 🦋
Within the first 60 seconds my heart shattered for the pain he's in 😥 I wish someone had protected him..his life could have been so different.
I’m rooting for you David. I admire you for taking ownership of your actions.
I don’t think anyone had ever asked that man that question before and grew up thinking no one cared. The look of shock on his face said it all.
He didn't know how to react. So heartbreaking 💔
You’re so strong for telling your story David. Your life will turn around.
I am so saddened but DAVID, fight man. Fight like hell against your demons. I wanted to reach in this screen and let you cry. Damnit. I lost it. You got motivation but you got to get to right people to help. I'm a survivor and fight them everyday. Please please get help. I'm not even done with the interview yet and already wanting to scream. I'm mad. No excuses but people need to see the mental aspect of it. It's normal for you. When it's your WHOLE life. At least you took responsibility for it. I was a victim of physical and mental. The pain of ripping or cutting is just a release. It makes us feel better. Drugs seem great but you'll end up dead. It's never enough. I'm praying for you. I'm so glad this interview was not to point and blame. It's the understanding of the whole concept.
Sweet David I wish I could hug him through the screen. The pain in his eyes. Oh my. Praying for comfort, healing, therapy, true joy.
You should have him back another time, maybe he will feel more relaxed, not so nervous. My hope is that this sweet soul gets the help he needs. Gets into some solid recovery, some real true psychological healing, and is able to move forward into a beautiful future that he gets to actually enjoy while here on Earth. He deserves that.
A 41 one year old who never got to grow up. I can see the child in him. I love u david
From the first second of this video my heart stopped and my eyes got watery, and I just couldn’t stop thinking how much I want to give David a hug. A pure, kind, full of just good and love no evil no hurt no darkness just a pure hug so maybe even for a little he can feel that there is good and love in life and there’s good and love for him. I wish I could give him that from me.
David I’m thinking about you, and I hurt your pain with you - sending you a big pure loving hug from Israel.
Love,
Ori
I just graduated a bachelor's of science nursing program 2 weeks ago. I've decided to work in mental health nursing. This video series she's so much light in places it needs.
David, we love you. You’re in so much pain. Working out, talking, praying, and letting god and spirit guide you. Do what you think is the right thing to do --in kindness and love, little by little you will get there. Just start. 💞♥️
This. Good advice ❤️
Man David, I believe every word you say. I don't think you'd ever do anything like that as an adult ,your heart is pure. Best of luck 👍.
Absolutely devastating. I am broken hearted for David. I feel angry that there is virtually nothing I can do to help him. Life is absolutely an arbitrary crap shoot and totally inequitable. I am amazed he can get through even a single day. Bless his poor soul.
I wish I could hug him. Poor, sweet angel. I wish all the best for him. I hope he finds peace. We’re rooting for you, David. ❤️
why is he angel when he did something like that to his own sister too??? even so he was young and he didnt know that he's actions were wrong but that girl was younger.... it's terrible why are people only vitimizing him....
Sexual abuse messes you up so bad. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are. It’s something you never fully recover from. It stays with you. You learn to heal but you’re never fully recovered. I pray we all get the help we need❤️
you can see him physically react at every thought that has anything to do with his past, this is some of the darkest material i’ve ever seen.
Mark!...wow, that intro actually gave me chills. You are certainly good at what you do sir.
David, I am sorry your childhood was traumatic. You did not deserve that. You deserved to be respected, protected and loved… you still deserve these things. I wish you would give them to yourself, everyday. ❤️
My prayer is that one day God will wipe away every tear, every sorrow, every bad moment, each and every terrible experience in a place that knows no sadness and all they’ll ever remember is the innocence of childhood that they have been robbed of.
Revelation 21:4
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Amen.
❤😢
I want to hug him forever… 😭❤️
David, you are loved… ❤️
god PLEASE give this man peace. let him live as normal of a life as he can.
It breaks my heart to learn how hard his life has been. I wish someone kind would have rescued him when he was a child. Bless his heart.
My mom is a teacher in a foster home and spends her days with kids from broken homes and horrendous trauma like this. From the stories she tells me and the progress her students are making, I just wish David had someone like her growing up.
This just COMPLETELY broke my💔💔💔 And angered me. 😡😠😠😠 Tears flowing down my face. I want to just hug his pain away!! Lord please erase this pain from his life.
If he hears voices he should have been diagnosed by now and if he has schizophrenia he automatically will receive Social Security benefits immediately. Please let him know that he is eligible for these benefits. This poor man is suffering and needs help with a helping hand. You’re worthy David. Stay strong.
I pray for his salvation, healing and deliverance. Lord heal this man like only you can.
I was praying the same thing❤️
🙏
I have never wanted to hug someone so bad... David may God bless and heal your hurt ❤
All I could do was cry and pray for this man. I pray the Most High God brings him peace and blessings!😢😢
Man.. When I see a grown man crying it sadden my heart. He got messed up as a child with not fault of his own. David please, don't blame yourself. Stop hurting yourself, stop using meth because will get araused and in trouble. I suggest you to move from LA if You can. There are people out here who actually care about you.
Ohhhh he has such sad and painful eyes 😢😢😢 my heart bleeds for him. I truly hope that he gets his life together. Thank you so much David for this interview ❤❤❤
I wonder if regressive therapy would work for him. It's scary but powerful. I feel for u brother. And I hope one day you have peace in your life. You deserve it.
This is really sad, I can relate to his life. I too was molested as a child, I was molested all the way up til I graduated high school. I don't know how to help, All I can say is, I am sorry that you had to go through that stuff.
I am so sorry you had to go through that. I'm so glad you made it through all the pain and that you're still here.
So sorry you went through that too 💔
This is so sad .... He has a soul that is in pain (((
Oh my heavens. I could type million things. This sweet broken soul needs safety. In an environment he doesn't feel like he can be thrown away. God I want to hug his hurt right out of him. He has never felt love. Love that is boundless. My heart. I wish I could stand outside marks studio and hug the broken 💔's
We see you David. You are not alone. I can only imagine how hard that was/is for you. It was not your fault. The voices lie to you. Praying for you and hugging you from a distance.
I can still see the young boy in him and I want to give him a big hug! I really hope he finds healing, peace and genuine patient love in his life! God bless you! 💛
David far-out, your amazing you raw honesty, has impacted many .
Go forward David you are needed
Love Australia x
That intro alone already made me cry, u can visibly see the pain and trauma rushing in when he was asked about his childhood.
Poor guy man. I watch alot of these and I really feel for people. But David hits different. You and see, hear, and feel the pain he's in coming through the screen. I really hope the best for him and hope he can find peace
I hope David reads comments and can see how people care about him. Please know we care David. 🌹🌹🌹
Run to Jesus my friend. He is the Way the Truth and the Life. Where everything and everyone else fails - He never has and never will. Surrender to Him. You are precious in His sight.
I just want to hug him and tell him he’s safe now. Sweet boy.
Somebody help this young man for the love of humanity, he deserves the best ❤
What do you think this guy is doing? If you think he needs more assistance then feel free to go help him yourself. He's a fkn junkie druggie. You go do it so he can lie and steal from you like he does everybody else.
Can't help but think about the thousands of children now being brought into this country to experience a similar fate/life. Always interesting and informative, thanks!
Please elaborate.
@@abraxasjinx5207 "Ignorance is bliss"....
@@abraxasjinx5207 worldwide child trafficking industry. Child trafficking is a hidden “society” within society. It runs extremely deep and I would call it modern day slavery.
@@alienspeaking3938 David seems more like a victim of the foster care system though, I'm not sure how sex slavery plays in to this story. He was abused but no one trafficked him for that purpose.
@@abraxasjinx5207 it is relevant to this story because the foster care system is corrupt and allows for disadvantaged children to be the prime target for human traffickers. I’m just relating his individual experience to the larger issue that plagues society, which is the abuse of children.
I genuinely like him so much!! David, life will be kinder to you than it has in the beginning. Keep your head up ❤️
Literally have a knot in my throat 😓 holding back tears, I feel so bad. I hope some how he finds the clarity he needs.
oh man, Mark, you hit the heart with this one. Prays and thoughts go out to David.
Thanks for bringing light and having a platform/voice for people like David. Mahahlo!
God Bless you David, may you heal brother
I needed to rewatch this first one again because I couldn’t remember all of the details. Glad I decided to watch it again.
mark, i just wanna give you a big hug i’m so glad your doing the things you do. really changed my perspective about people on the streets you just never know 💔
Truly heartbreaking…Where the hell are the people that are paid to protect kids?! This country needs change. The government needs to put much more more money into helping children instead of B.S.that doesn’t matter!
You mean like lining their own pockets?
More government control you say, they have you hook line and sinker.
It hasn't changed since I was a kid. If you're a ward of the state, you're on your own.
Stay Strong David and take any help thats offered to you your a good man and a strong man to be able to speak about your past your in my thoughts and my heart, god bless from Ire;and
I hope he gets some much needed help. My heart goes out to him
I believe this guy. As a victim myself,who has very little empathy for offenders. This guy is a rare exception. I believe him.
All strength and a thousand blessings to you, David, you are a warrior of life. You can keep going, many of us are with you (I want to know how David is doing, please?)🙏🙏🙏
Arrested development is when trauma is so severe the brain through a chemical to basically paralyse natural development, causing the age to pause until it feels safe to develope, yet the body continues to grow. It takes years of I tense therapy to undo the block. The brain has to feel completely safe. It's a survival technique. Often when abuse is consistent over 4weeks plus, the body and mind separate to endure what is about to happen.
He's in so.much pain. I'm.glad he takes responsibility for his actions and I hope that one day, perhaps a victims mediator could bring together him and his victim so he can apologise like he wants to. And I hope his victim will be willing to hear it.
keep up the good work, each time I watch your channel it makes me realize the world is so broken...this guy needs help
This guy broke my heart. I'm so sorry you had to go through that BS I hope you find peace brother.
He has the most precious and kind eyes. Sad that he has to be enduring the consequences of abusive parenting and neglect.
Man, it has to be so therapeutic for some of these people to talk to someone about their past and trauma. It’s so unfortunate that some people have been dealt such a shitty fuckin hand.
I hope this dude can find his way in life.
Dearest David , I feel so for you. My heart goes out to you . Sending so much love to you
The fact that he blamed him self for the abuse he went trough really shows how messed up you get from sa ,like it destroys you for the rest of your life it’s crazy dude.
You can literally see his soul leave his body- poor man! He needs lots and lots of healing
i dont want to share my mood, but i cry watching him, stopped watching his videos few times, do the things then come back to watch and i cry again. Painful when we dont have any place to lean on and to feel loved to feel save and heal. Wish him and all people have to experience these things the best. Wish them can live a real life and happy
I hope that you’re doing well today, David! I’m a former foster child also. You deserve all things good! 💜
Damnit. 3 mins in and I’m hysterical. David deserved better. We MUST protect the children AT ALL COST 😔 David you are loved. By strangers. If you were here I’d hug you for as long as you needed.
That was so heartbreaking! 💔 I’m so sorry David! Sending all the love to you and hugs!!
Sheeeshhh David is the epitome of trauma of (SA) when he couldn’t breathe when speaking when he felt choked up speak about it and the drug use is only a quick fix- therapy helped him but we as a society/community needs to take responsibility because the system failed him by evil people - you can see he is still 14 that’s what trauma does you remain stunted
Mark, would you be able to do an update on David? My heart is in pieces for him and it would be nice to know how he is doing.
