If a child has the courage to confide in you about any abuse, it’s your highest priority for immediate action & intervention. A false alarm is better then the ramifications of lifelong trauma.

I find it so odd that barely anyone in the comments is addressing Blanca - the 25 year old woman that slept with (abused) him when he was 12. The double standard is shocking

I categorise abusers as worse than murderers...there are murder cases where someone snapped in a fit of recklessness, but child abusers are extremely calculated and repeat the offence for years

People who do harm to children are the most EVIL people on the planet. This is absolutely horrifying and disgusting. I wish child molesters would get the death penalty.

He is so fucking sweet dude. Are you kidding me!?!? I can’t believe this shit happens. I hope you gets to live in another life as the best Cub Scout in history. He deserves a greater second life

So many mothers refuse to believe their children. I think it's denial and they're afraid of being alone and not having the security of the pay cheque from their husband. Sickening!

I can't express how important these interviews are to a functioning society. Most people will never hear these stories or interact with these people. Last week someone told me they were tired of hearing people blame their childhood sexual abuse for their problems. I lost quite a lot of respect for that individual. But, it illustrates how important it is to get these stories out to the public. I don't think one can really understand the effects of child abuse until one sees the statistics and hears the stories.

Some of us survived child abuse, Some of us never used drugs or become alchohalic but for sure something is missing forever. We feel being lost and pain never go away, just we keep going. I feel this man. Very good interview. Thank You

the judge seems like someone who actually cared, may his soul rest in peace

This is so sad. Mark, you have done countless interviews where sexual abuse victims told their mothers and they did nothing. I couldn’t imagine. My heart goes out to everyone❤

Awww the “phew” at the end got me. A sense of relief to tell his story after all this time. Thank you for the gift you gave to William, Mark. Spirituality = open and honest interaction

The silver lining to the awful dark cloud of this man's life is that there were people in places of authority who tried to help him.

This is such a terrible childhood that started a chain of unhappiness and violence off. I have deep sympathy for William and his sister. William is a great storyteller. The codependent mother is an accomplice...It always takes an environment of the silent and ignorant for abuse...

I am also a childhood sexual abuse survivor. Sending hugs to this dude.

Why nobody talking about the judge blessing him? One in a million judge.

The woman he described as his first real sexual experience who told him what that guy did was wrong was also wrong... He was 12 and she was an adult

If you are a MOTHER who lets this go on, you’re not worthy of being a mother! Sick!

Mark. I came back from florida last week on vacation. While boarding the plane in ft lauderale, the one flight attendant, as I walked by, said to another one, omg, I love that show. I listen to it all the time. I had my long sleeve soft white underbelly shirt on. When I was getting off the plane in cold pa, she said I love your shirt, I listen to those videos all the time! I said me too!! My morning ritual!!

I hate all mothers who think an innocent child could ever bring up and make up a story like this and lie. My mother was one of them-I beg you all to help victims of sexual abuse, open up your homes and pour into them. Sexual abuse is murder to one’s soul-it won’t go away without an act of God.

I hope he can find closure and happiness in his later years. Children are so vulnerable 😢

Just heartbreaking. Wishing him healing and success.

"that felt good", that felt good. good luck to this dude, this story was so vulnerable it was beautiful

Not to say this with ill intent but I get anxiety watching some of these where people ramble on and on. Mark sits there for 20-40 minutes and simply ask questions…allowing people to say what they need to say and never passes judgement. Only sometimes does he redirect. This man was truly sincere at the end when he told him thank you….he took a deep breathe and said that felt good. Thank you Mark for providing all these people you interview a safe place to vomit their life stories without judgement.

I get extremely angry and sad at the same time at the effect of sexual abusers do to their abuser’s life. They destroyed it! Look at his sister. 😞 I can tell how this has always been painful, the sadness of his voice breaks me. No one deserves this.

Men don’t share these things like women do… I’m so proud of him for speaking out against this horrible crime! My heart aches for this beautiful person! I pray that God shows him how to heal from this evil that has been done to him!

Heartbreaking story, childhood trauma can change the rest of your life. Protecting children should always be crucial. Blessings from Spain

Mothers out there believe your kids when they tell you that they have been abused. These kids normally put everything on the line when they tell you something like this. They know that they probably could be beaten up, thrown to the curb,etc for doing so. They are not going to lie to you about something like this. All I have to say is UNBELIEVABLE when parents ignore something like this. All of this could have been avoided (2 murders) if his mother took the proper action that she should have taken

There’s something about this guy that I love; he is honest, unpretentious and completely authentic in expressing emotions. I find your videos revelatory and transcendent. They raise my awareness and identification to a poetic level of joyous human experience. I am William and he is me. I want to kill perps and I am damaged by my past. You are doing a great service to humanity, Mark. I bless you every day.

What a truly horrifying story! I'm so disgusted by the mother's in these kind of stories. She leaves the first husband that didn't beat her, to be a with a man whose a PED! I have so much respect for this. Realizing that he does have power and agency, he rid this earth of the lowest form of human existence- PEDs! He is an exceptional man! If only every victim of this kind of trauma were as impressive as him! What a remarkable story, a true hero! The Gods only know how many children were saved due to his selfless actions! 🖤

I wish I could be this guy's neighbor and be some kindness and stability for him.

William I barely almost 7 min into your video and I wanted you to know you're not alone and that you're so brave for coming on here speaking with Mark I know you've touched countless people all over the world sharing your life's story I juss want to be able to teleport myself through my phone and give you a great big old hug that's if you'd let me I also suffered many years of abuse at my mother's R.I.P 2nd husband's , father of my youngest siblings and I am talking about every form of abuse you name it it started in the mid 70's and didn't end till the late 80's I believe I was the the literal red headed step child in my family I will never get the answers I want especially even more so now that my mother has been dead since 2019 plus whenever I do feel it's the right time ( like when is there ever a right time ) to ask certain very deep questions regarding my childhood life growing up in the same household as my eldest sister , my younger brother, and my youngest sister whenever I do bring up an event most of em don't wanna talk about it and that pisses me off royally I'm sure if I had the right amout of money to compensate them for their time they'd be willing to admit and share a lot more about our broken , toxic , dysfunctional, and abusive family well I believe I shared enough of about myself I hope you see my comment and have sometime to respond 😊 God bless you Dear fellow friend and brother in Jesus Christ you rock I wish nothing but the best for you in your lifetime God is good 👍 😊 ❤️ 💙 ☺️ 💖 1 last thing I wanted to let you know the beat thing that could ever happened for me from my mother's death is that I don't have to ever see or speak to her punk-ass no good husband for the rest of my life good riddance to him you reap what you sew 😊

For someone who allegedly had no idea, his mother's actions and alcoholism sure pointed to absolutely knowing. But I get that he can't entertain the thought at this point.

So, this Blanca was 25 & he was 12 & she has the nerve to say it wasn't right what happened to him. So many people failed him.

This guy has amazing physical character! His face is very unique! I could draw, sketch and paint this guy for days!

Thank you William for so candidly telling your story. I know you're trying to grieve your dear sister.

Such a sweet man. I love the way he cared for his sister. I hope therapy can help him accept being treated well.

I hope William reads the comments to learn that others see what a good person he is and that we want him to find the better path which he deserves. We would love to see him back in a year, clean and content with a good life. You are not your past. Please see these posts to know people care who you become in the future

Wow this is such a sad beautiful story. I understand why he killed his abusers and how it brought him peace. This happens in many families, and it's swept under the rug or its the family "secret." I know the pain myself, and it takes a while to heal. He is brave to share his story with the wolrd❤️

Mark two on this Sunday morning… thank you for all that you do sincerely! As a survivor I can’t explain my gratitude for your work!!

Wrapping my arms around ALL survivors❤️ Have hope for a better day, it will come. This is still a beautiful life if you make it one.

Telling your truth is so hard!..that judge was a good one...

I am so angry with the mother, she is thesame as the ones who were abusing her children because she did not nothing.... and her younger brother should watch this and realize that perhaps he has a better life now because his older brother killed the person (although it was his father) who might have harmed him the same way he did to this man when he was young.

My heart and prayers goes out to William my love and commitment to show up for persons who have been impacted by aces and trauma is solidified by these videos. This was every kind of heartbreaking .

William thank you for your story! This helps us all learn what this abuse does to our perfect, precious children. It is always life ruining, and absolutely never forgotten 😞.

Poor William, I feel so bad he had to go thru this. This is truly hearbreaking😢...I wish him healing....and a happy life going forward.

Sending love to William and all survivors. We are still here! ❤

It breaks my heart that you've had to endure this trauma and I am so sorry that the people who were meant to protect you and your sister never did. You deserve the best life and I hope you can work through your experiences to have it. Sending you love.

These comments are so heartbreaking as well as this video. I pray we all heal from this and are able to move forward in a healthy way. I pray William gets the life that he deserves, sending nothing but love and good fortune.❤️❤️

I believe everything he said, It’s just mind blowing.

Thank you SO much for your vulnerability. I know you putting yourself out there like this will help SO many people

Thank God for great Teachers that pay attention to their students ❤🎉

Abusers look for single mothers. The mothers think these men are interested in them, not realizing these men were always after their kids.

Blanca, she is worst of all. knowing this boy was abused, then abused him further… so sad!

Thank you for the content on your channel. All of your platform, are definitely thought provoking. The stories are all so very sad. I want to cry; how can you not get emotional. All of these problems are caused by the human conditions. Don't stop or change these personal stories; you are exposing subject matters that needs to be discussed.

Omg I cannot believe this thing would happen to a kid💔……thank you for sharing your story with us. Wish you best of luck in life.

When will laws be set into place to protect children....it is ALL OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES to protect ALL children. Parents get your shit together...children don't deserve ish like this. 🤬

What a courageous man, thank you for telling your story sir.

Blessings and healing for William

It’s so sad that even his grown adults we still try to justify molestation and abuse is something we may have done or that it wasn’t a big deal it was a big deal and it was done! I wish you all the peace in the world And to every victim 😢

What a story!!! Hope William is doing well. Thanks for making these videos.

Thanks SWB Most people have been waiting to exhale all their lives. This platform gives them a judgment free place to reminisce and share their story. Mother's aren't built for this kind of information. It usually involves a lover of theirs or a loved one. Alot of times they wont allow their perception of a person to change based on what some kid is telling them. A sense of self-guilt leaves them in denial. Kids, find a reliable adult to help you, doesn't have to be family.

So sorry you went through this William. You’re a strong man for telling this story. Sending you hugs 🫂🤍

Such a sad story thank U for sharing sending luv to U and your sister from Australia Xxx❤️

At about 5:45 onto video, I had to stop. I started crying and couldn't stop for around 15 minutes. Aside from myself not being on Skid Row, as my heroin addict mother was frequently, my story is quite similar to William. I was born a product of rape by one of the six men who raped my drug addled mother. My youth was basically living on the street, in churches and surviving by eating out of trash cans and such. Mother was gone months at a time. We had a "good period" when she got clean and I was about 9 years old, which didn't last. She and I ended up living in Stockton California. Living in absolute squalor, a family friend of my grandmother (was on cover of Vogue magazine back in the day and my mother is also god-daughter of Kathleen (Kit) Kennedy, which is another story). This person sent me to a summer camp to try and get me out of the nastiness of my mother and aunt doing drugs every day in front of me. Pythian Youth Camp in Kings Canyon near Fresno. Met counselor named Randy (Daniel) Ronk. Long story short, he was married with newborn, gave me/my mother money for power bill and phone, obviously wasn't used for that. Eventually after he became city councilman in Stockton (later became mayor) he purchased me from my mother. For about 8 years he drugged me and sexually abused me with promises of money and things that never came to fruition. When William started talking about the creamy substance, I lost it. I suffer badly from PTSD, live in small apt in MN that I haven't left for nearly 18 months or more, severe agoraphobia. Stemming from my abuser, who also forced me to drink hard liquor, putting porno mags on my bed and snipping holes into my curtains, so he could stand outside naked pleasing himself sts. So I appreciate your work beyond words.

William, I am so sorry you had to go through what you did.i wish there was a way to give you back your childhood.you are beyond brave and beautiful inside and out , take care and I wish you happiness forever more xxx

I smiled when he said what he did to Alejandro…

It blows my mind that Mark called his actions murder. He's a hero not a murderer. The men only got what they deserved - the death penalty for his crimes against children! ☠️

So sorry u went through this

Such a sweetheart you are William. I wanted to reach out from my screen and give you the biggest hug for being amazing even after all you have been thru. Sorry for the loss of your sister and I hope life gets better for you from every angle because you simply deserve it. Love you ❤

At the end of this, I couldn't hold back my tears. Get yourself help man, my friend tried, died a week later before getting into a program. Good luck sir.

Omg she took him to the doctor and doctor never alerted the DCF OR POLICE 😮😮😮 their mother is EVILLLLLL

Thank you so much William. My heart goes out to you. I see a very beautiful soul and you are worth fighting for. Self love, like you said, is key. Just be humble and realize we all make mistakes but it is all about learning from them. And teaching others what you have learned. You telling your story has helped me to learn about different mindsets and why some people do what they do and to become more compassionate. The part about the wise judge brought a tear to my eye. And, it is so beautiful to see so much love that you have for your sister. Thank you for your bravery here today. How you told the straight up hard reality of life and how you felt and feel about everything. May God bless you and your loved ones. Big hugs from Oregon!

So very sad that alot of these adults were abused by adults, that were supposed to be there to protect them when they were children. 😳😕

God bless William. Please thank him for telling his story. I hope he can get off the drugs and fiinallyhave happiness in his life. His story is absolutly very very sad. No child should have to live with one assault and this poor guy ........This man is a hero. He saved many many more innocent children from being harmed.

I lost count of how many of these ive watched in the last 3 days i like listening to them while im at work its very interesting and helps time pass

My heart and hugs go out to this man. I agree with him 1000 percent ppl who harm children are the worst pieces of 💩 that ever walked this earth. May justice be served to all who harm any child.

It was good he found righteous men to balance him out…

You & your sister deserved so much more. You still deserve to live, you’re here for a reason. Sending you so much love & I am so proud of you for sharing your story.

Shows how one thing can impact the victim with the ripple that keeps going. Totally derailing his life. Mom had no business dating bringing a man into the house. It ups the ante of the child being abused like right here. Hope his life improves. Great interview. Very respectful as always.

God Bless the Judge who took your case and took 8 months of patience to extract your trauma from you, he really helped u. Bless u, cheers from Hong Kong.

What a story ...he seems like a decent soul ... wishing him happiness and healing for the rest of his journey. Thank you Happy Thanksgiving...

Wow!! What an amazing judge to have done all that he did for this 12-13 year old little broken boy.

One of the best interviews on this channel. Good on William for taking out his abusers. Hopefully he is now on a path of healing from all the trauma, and finding out who he really is. My heart goes out to him.

These stories that you share are so massively important. To give these people a voice Is everything. This is important work that your doing , on every level. You should win a award Honestly. ❤

Many of us suffered sexual abuse. You can heal. Lots and lots and lots of love to you. God bless.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

That judge is incredible omg Jesus protect our boys and girls

William it's heart breaking to listen to all the terrible things you went through, but it is obvious you are very special, having some amazing men enter your life to help you when you needed it the most. This may sound bad, but Fidel was my favorite, he empowered you, and you did what I think any person in your position would want to do, just like the judge said. I only wish you could have kept going in a more positive direction. It's never to late, please find the strength to beat the drug addiction.

I’m so sorry you had this happen to you xx

Stories with these titles break my heart. Praying for you

This one broke me. I feel so sorry for this dude... I pray William gets the help he needs.

I'm very sorry that happened to you, William. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You were very brave for telling your story. All the best to you!

I'm sorry for the loss of your sister, and for the trauma you endured as a child.

I know you’re going to change your life again William! Your will is strong and you are a beautiful brave soul ❤❤❤❤❤💝

William, I pray you get the happy ending you deserve. Thank u for sharing, sending love from Seattle.

I send you my deepest Condolences at the loss of your sister. Thank you for your honesty.

thank you william for talking

Thank you so much for sharing your story William. I see you xo

I feel for you bro. Keep going in life your wife loves you ❤️🙏 I pray you heal 🙏❤️

Please don't mess with kids. This man could have done great things in his life. He didn't stand a chance. I wish him well. He deserves a good life from now on.

William is such a trooper. Hope life makes it up to him and does him good
