When he started crying my heart completely broke. He went through so much at such a young age and the fact that he can even understand why his mom was the way she was shows immense growth but trauma like this is never fully healed. I’m praying for this man and his future 🥺🙏🏽

I cannot fathom the pain those children went through...It's a miracle that he's still here. Its hard to comprehend. I wish I could hug him and erase everything that happened to him.

We can do more than pray. We can make education about abuse mandatory teaching in every school. It's already done in Indiana. Also, NO CHILD should be allowed to be missing from school for a month. That's just insane.

@@letakeokuk5446 That must be so frustrating! Poor critters...they depend on adult society to protect them and it's often just not working. I'm hopeful it can be fixed, though. Public schools seem like the best place to fix this issue, imho. It's where 90% of kids are accessible to the community.

[@user-id2nw9pd1d]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a veteran teacher in the inner city. When I first started teaching, I used to go home crying almost every day because I felt so helpless to do anything to change the circumstances of some of my 1st and 2nd-grade students. I knew some were homeless, hungry, and carrying an adult's burden to be the "little man" to take care of baby brothers and sisters because momma was running the streets. Some came to school angry, defiant, and always ready to fight. Some arrived at school exhausted because of all-night parties or because of fear to go to sleep for a variety of reasons...physical abuse, sexual abuse...My heart was broken for them. I quickly realized that crying about it was doing more harm than good...in fact it was useless. Instead, I worked on building authentic relationships with my babies. I tried to find something positive about every single student and (against my colleagues' advice) visited their homes to tell their parents or whoever they lived with something positive, and completely genuine about their child. I wanted them to be just as proud of them as I was. I couldn't always call because some of them didn't have phones and had no transportation to be able to come to school (or money to take a cab or bus). In any case, thank you for sharing your heart, Tre. As an elementary teacher, I have always felt like I sow the seeds but never see the end product...I often wonder if what I do/did ever made a difference for my students. I'm sorry you had to go through everything that you went through. You sound like you landed on your feet and are headed in the right direction. Again, thank you so much for sharing! Many blessings to you.

[@puckloki873]

It's a tragedy you were doing what you were doing and not teaching grammar or math full stop.

[@user-id2nw9pd1d]

@@puckloki873 Such a pity that you made such a huge assumption about my post. Perhaps you came up with teachers that held no expectations for you...that's sad. I didn't want to write a novel about how I turned all of the stupid crying into very high expectations for my students. It is extremely clear, however, that you are not an educator. Any good teacher knows that no learning will take place if a students' basic needs aren't met first...the need for feeling safe, fed, understood, respected. As a result, my students were the highest performing in my school. My principal had me teach the other teachers my methods for increasing literacy and math scores. I went into the students' neighborhood and put together literacy workshops for the parents (in which I paid for the materials and on my own unpaid time). I can completely understand if you are making a statement about the current public education system...expectations do not necessarily measure proficiency in reading, writing, and math. These days it is about shoving a bunch of scripted propaganda down their throats and making sure we stick to the pacing chart supplied by the district. Accommodating a variety of learning styles is pretty absent as well as teaching students to think critically. Should a teacher get out of line and actually push students to perform academically these days, parents are quick to challenge the teacher to back down so that their little "peanut" isn't stressed at school. At one point, we were even told to give students a D- even if they hadn't turned in one single assignment in the entire semester. Our hands are tied in the present-day educational system. 30 years ago, we could really teach. Teaching was a craft in understanding the whole child to be able to individualize and accelerate learning and promote critical thinking...not so anymore.

I really hope tre keeps coming back, I’d definitely like to hear more about his life

[@bo-dine7971]

The thing he said about your body "giving you morph." is actually a real thing, our bodies and bodies of most animals release opioids to combat injuries & pain. Isn't nature amazing?

[@jossyj1]

I swear I had THEEE WORST toothache once and though I’d die. The pain lasted for over an hour and out of nowhere it mildly subsided, but in the strangest way. I’m not a mommy but I’d equate it to the pain of child birth. Right hand to god..😂

[@tambourine36]

I believe our Creator put this in place for us out of love the same as when the brain dissociates during abuse to protect the mind from the unthinkable

[@AnneLien1987]

Tre, you had a very tough life. Still you have a very big heart. You still have the good in you. I hope you don’t give up. You are a survivor. You are strong. I wish you the best.

[@loricoleman3864]

This ONE story hits me deep for some reason. He's been through SO much, I can't even imagine. I truly wish him the best in whatever life holds for him.

[@meloneymoore5102]

My heart goes out to him. I have been dodging death my entire life up until now. I believe that God saved my life for a bigger purpose.

[@annief.9256]

Only one minute & 20 seconds in, and looking at him I can clearly see him, his face as a child. And my heart is already breaking, when he's barely begun to tell his atory because I can already see it.

[@frothe42]

This is very hard to listen to, the amount of abuse. You cannot help but cry.

[@MrDbeatty52003]

Mark,this guy,Tre, is my favorite video. I don’t think I’ll stop thinking about him,ever. I just want the best for him. I hope good things come his way.he deserves the best things in life

I left my parents house at 15. My mother was a beater, a neurotic, a screamer, a Christian. My parents were not getting along. I was hungry all the time. Life was pure hell. I can relate to this story.

His mom sounds like she might have had paranoid schizophrenia. Thinking she could read the kids minds and beating them mercilessly. Sounds like psychosis.

[@ezekielswiss4347]

@Chris Walker - Sorry for your struggles as i believe people individually when they say they have had a tough life. I hope you the best in life and the ability to over come your struggles. How ever i don't think blanketing an entire race with anything ever is factual. Careful with all that blaming another person because of their color skin and just assuming they have had it easy because of that.
