Description

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: [email protected] I’m honored to introduce you all to: Child and foster care, religious abuse, child sexual abuse, trafficking, SRA and RA survivor and whistleblower, campaigner of historical child abuse, Founder of S.A.F.E. - Seek And Find Everyone abused in childhood, independent researcher and reporter, and someone I’m honored to call my friend: Dave SharpJust after Dave was born, his mother died and he was put into the care of the Catholic church where he spent the first sixteen years of life. Dave’s life in care was nothing short of horrific. He was trafficked all over Scotland where he would be taken to houses in and around the Glasgow area with priests in them. He remembers being taken to a garden and placed in acoffin with the lid put on and stones would be thrown onto the lid to simulate a burial. He also remembers being taken to Ireland on several occasions where he and other boys would be taken to Satanic sex parties that included drugging and raping by multiple men. Throughout his childhood and young adult years, he would be taken to many different places - and to this day is still experiencing flashbacks and memory recall. Dave often gets contacted by other survivors who have found his story and details and will disclose their own testimonies which corroborate what he remembers. And this is just the tip of the iceberg… Dave is joining us over the course of a few podcast episodes to discuss how these horrific topics - which have allowed evil parasites to further exploit survivors - have been kept in the dark for so long in Scotland, how so many other survivors besides Dave came forward to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry with stories of being trafficked all over the UK and Ireland but were turned away from giving their evidence, and how so many survivors - including Dave - went through hell with the police in Scotland and the inquiry to have their stories heard, but were silenced. These podcast episodes serve as a chance for Dave to talk about how certain people tried everything to silence survivors, and why over the last fifty years between 65 - 75% of all people in Scottish prisons were sexually abused as children - mainly in the care system by clergy - and how coming forward to have their voices heard ruined their lives. The most important thing Dave will be discussing is how it is possible that men and woman whose lives have been ruined by child sex abuse can turn to child abuse charities and organisations - such as the child abuse inquiry - and find that in Scotland, once these people come into your life they own you and can destroy your life - and how this has impacted the drug deaths and suicides that have scarred Scotland for decades, and everyone is terrified to talk about it. One such survivor we will be reflecting on and referencing throughout the course of Dave’s testimony and episodes is former podcast guest Kevin Sutherland - who recently took his own life due to the torment from his childhood abuse and the neglect from authorities he suffered after his abuse and disclosure that eerily mimicks what you will be hearing in Dave’s testimony. “I am so grateful that God has chosen me to go out and shoPLATE & PONDER: EMPTY NESTING w/ Jen & Chris FentonWith a wine buzz, an empty-nesting married couple tackles a full plate of global issues.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show
