Are you serious?

Yeah.

yeah so he after he did what he did to me and my brother right which included like putting cigarettes out on our genitalia and things like that we he said are you fucking serious yeah real real evil shit man real evil stuff you know and i remember he sent me and my brother to bed and um you know i was happy that it was just over so me and my brother go upstairs and go to bed my mom came home from her shift and um

she came upstairs to check on us you know we're young so she didn't want us to wet the bed and she did kind of her routine where she woke us up to take us to the bathroom to go potty so we didn't you know pee in the sheets and i remember when we went into the bathroom and she pulled my pants down she started crying and um i was real confused sean i didn't know what was going on and um she started crying and she got very mad she pulled my brother in there and she looked at him too and she started crying again and um i didn't know what was going on man

next thing i know she goes downstairs and she she starts assaulting this guy starts assaulting this guy she tries to get the cordless phone that's back when the cordless phones were like huge the metal antenna and she starts trying to fight with him over it and she starts trying to fight with the phone and she's screaming and she tells us to go get our babysitter we had a babysitter during the daytime lived up this hill and i remember being a kid and i remember that hill being like a thousand miles long trying to run up in the middle of the night beating on the door till they wake up and finally they woke up and called the cops

The cops came and they arrested the guy, but unfortunately they ended up having to take me and my brother, right?

So first they took us to the hospital, right?

And I went there and I remember them checking me out.

And the things I remember about that is they had to strap me to a spine board because I wouldn't let them touch me down there.

So I ended up having to strap my arms down and my feet down.

And a lot of that, those memories are foggy because I just don't, I don't know, right?

It was a lot of bright lights, a lot of confusion, me crying.

But I do know that once they were done doing whatever they were doing,

I ended up having to go to kind of foster care for a little while, me and my brother.

Holy shit.

Yeah.

It's tough, man, because you hear this story a lot on this show.

I do.

Yeah.

I hear it a lot with the people I work with, man, which is really sad.
