Harrison James EP2: At 15yo I fathered my stepmother's baby after being sexually abused

[@jewelysjourney7136]

She wanted a baby and when the husband couldn’t help her, she took advantage of the son. How sick and demented. This young man is so well spoken! So proud of him for being an advocate for others.

[@juliebean2806]

His daughter should not be living with a child predator

Thank God the child is a girl.. I suppose 😢

What an amazing young man. Hold yourself proud Harrison. Many adults wouldn't have the tools to navigate this situation let alone a child and now a young man. You've taken it step further by using what you have learnt to teach others. Finding the wisdom in an experience is a humbling healing ❤ Well done

[@delilabuchanan6437]

Hes not the only victim, the father must feel deeply betrayed as would his mother and the little girl growing up in a developing country without a father. What "support" is this poor fatherless child getting emotionally, physically, financially if any?

[@delilabuchanan6437]

I would love to see the answer of this pertenant question.

[@BarbaraChoux]

This reminds me of the story of Mary Kay Letourneau, the teacher who groomed her student Vili Fualaau in the USA. I think he was 13 or 14 when they started their “relationship” and same story. He was so manipulated that they even got married. It’s was at a time where the knowledge nor comprehension we have today so he wasn’t able to understand what was truly happening. But in their last interview together before she passed away we can see that there was something off. He contradicted her many times, at moments he reacted with rolling eyes or with a smirk when he disagreed with the story about how all started. We could feel that he came into realization that it was an abuse. She had cancer at that moment so it’s easy to understand that he was still with her for obvious reasons but the tension was palpable. She was always monopolizing the conversation with the host preventing him to speak. She was talking about the great love they still had for one another while he was like: that’s BS. I understood while watching the interview that now as an adult and father of teenagers he came to the understanding that he was a child and that he was groomed but got it very late. Shout out for this young man sharing his story, his strength and intelligence. I hope he’ll be able to reunite with her daughter and be the father he wants to be for her daughter. I wish him the best.

[@teddymarian9416]

she met him at 7 and was pregnant w his child by the time he was 12.

[@karenkazbah6246]

Step mother is a scammer . Needed visa and wanted Australian residency , had baby , set up the stepson as a cheater , gets money and child support and lives very comfortable with no Shame. I’m also thinking she was a VERY young stepmother . She needs prison

[@cornwall8007]

Yes and maybe there's someone behind her too. Sounds like she was born into that way of life and knows nothing else. Scammers are evil. They don't know what love is.

[@liismaarii8450]

Here in the U.S. Filipina women are known for targeting older white men for money and a visa so it wouldn’t surprise me. Of course not all, but many

She definitely planned it all .The father is still an idiot. Unbelievable.Well the dad got scammed , just she found a way out and is now victorious. The dad was too soft and no-one has gone after that woman.The dad is lucky he escaped with his life. Some parents have no rights to be parents.

@Kimi_Adventuresagreed, who is this second woman? Did stepmother trap Harri twice?

[@majorkade]

Correct

[@juliekelly1920]

I applaud Harrisons bravery. I pray that eventually he can have a loving relationship with his daughter. As someone who was groomed by her cousin, who was 8 years older, I've carried deep shame and self loathing most of my life. I'm 66 and still blame myself. My parents disowned me, I was pregnant and apart from him, alone. We had to go to court for permission to marry. I divorced him 12 years later.

[@elizabethganokimayong7356]

Harry James you can go to see your daughter by contracting Senator Raffy Tulfo for assistance. He is helping a lot of people with family issues .... He will help you. And he will be the one arrange for meeting up your daughter. Your step mother will not and can't say no. You are more safe going there with the assistance of Senator R. Tulfo. You have the right to see your daughter.

All garbage

[@bellahalawi472]

This literally made me tear up and cry, and my heart breaks for that little boy that he once was. And it’s terrifying to think that there’s another child that could be going through the same situation somewhere. Someone needs to get her to take accountability and serve her time in jail.

[@MyLizzie22]

Dear Harrison, Im so sorry this happened to you. I feel it in my soul. Be well always, be brave, and be proud of how your story will help other abuse victims.

[@AussieAngel826]

She should be in prison. I do think a dna test in future needs to be done just to rule out any other potential fathers. This woman sounds like a total predator, could be other victims. Hope justice prevails one day. And hope the child is put into a safe home soon

[@AotearoaAnge]

@Kimi_Adventures he can’t do that without a dna test - his own father is named as her dad on her birth certificate. How is he going to get custody without a dna test confirming he is the dad? He would then have to have him named as her dad on her birth certificate.

[@littleMissXeOBA]

His father is the problem. His father is a party to this through his passivity.

[@littleMissXeOBA]

Not the young man, I’m talking about the young man’s father because he’s the one who has legal rights because he’s on the birth certificate.

[@maisy9316]

What was the age gap between the Pilipino bride and the dad? The dad needs some accountability here as to who he was bringing into the household, and bringing around his son.

[@cathytauscher6760]

My fear would be that his daughter is already being manipulated by the "mother". He has said the stepmother is a master manipulator so I don't know why the daughter would be an exception. Legally I think it would be very difficult for him to gain any kind of custody. I don't remember hearing whether or not HIS father followed the stepmother to Thailand and if his father is involved in the life of Harry's daughter.

This is beyond belief, the cowardly woman got bored of the boy and decided to run. Lucky for this young man, he got a chance to survive and tell his story.

[@jennymac2209]

I’m finding myself forming a low opinion of Harrison’s father…

[@luns486]

I suspect there’s an even larger age gap between him and his Philippino wife than between her and her stepson.

[@charliewyatt6997]

Harrison is an inspiration. I see a question as to the motive of his stepmother that wasn’t addressed in either parts of the interview, that I feel the need to mention. Was her plan always to have a child? Did her husband’s vasectomy push her to find another that could give her what she wanted? I find the timings of having the baby and the abuse ceasing very telling in this theory.

[@OyukaSarhan]

Whatever was her motive is irrelevant. She should never abuse and took advantage a child. She should be in a prison now.

[@christinaaidini-gf8yv]

The father of your guest is not just manipulated. He is an abuser himself. He couldn’t protect his son, didn’t catch on any clues that must have been there and demonized a child

[@elizabethryan2217]

That doesn't make him an abuser.

[@littleMissXeOBA]

@elizabethryan2217 “Failure to protect” from abuse is the legislation he would be guilty under where I am. That’s a child protection charge. It’s not always taken to criminal court, however, it is legal grounds for intrusive intervention in the family. As a biological parent, he owns the legal responsibility to protect or yes, he is a party to abuse and guilty of failure to protect from abuse. He has failed to be a protective and safe parent. As a result, he’s failed his son in every way.

[@elizabethryan2217]

@littleMissXeOBA hi 🙂 I'm not saying he didn't fail his son. Lots of parents fail their kids in lots of ways. And lots of parents are brokenhearted find out in later years that their kids were abused without their knowledge. That doesn't make them abusers themselves necessarily, although i know that people sometimes turn a blind eye. They *may* have been negligent, but in this case, I would say that's difficult to say until you hear the Dad's side of the story. People who know an abuser but don't know what they're up to are not necessarily negligent or abusive themselves.

[@delilabuchanan6437]

​@@littleMissXeOBA and what about his son's 9 year old daughter whose protecting her now? Nobody.

[@KathyStrickland-nh9vx]

Some people do escape consequences here on earth. My question to you is "what if she repents" does God still punish her? I have never heard this addressed?

[@lorrainedahler5423]

@ my basic understanding is yes, through true confession & repentance (while living) there is forgiveness. God is a righteous judge. The Bible mentions only one unforgivable sin which is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (also called “the sin unto death”) in specific passages from Mark, Matthew, Luke..

[@KathyStrickland-nh9vx]

@@lorrainedahler5423 Thank you for responding and I don't mean to put you on the spot. I know God being God, can do anything and whatever He does is good but another question. If a person repents and God forgives doesn't that sometime mean that we are never punished for our sins? Thusly, some never suffer the consequences for what they have done. I know these are theological questions but even as a Christian, and I'm not saying this is right, I see people that I would like to see punished. I know it's not my job and I have a long way to go but sometimes one just wants to see some justice. Sorry for the rant.

[@lorrainedahler5423]

@ not a rant, your points valid, and I too think the same at times, want to see the consequences of wrong doing in the Now! It seems unfair. God is good - but He is Just- all who enter His gates, will also need to give an account of the matters here on earth, how we lived. He will judge, and He decides what our final and eternal destiny will be or is. For some he will say “depart, I never knew you”! There are various levels of honour in Heaven is my understanding. It will be according to what we have done in his name here on earth. According to scripture, the gateway is narrow. None of us know with certainty, but we are given a chance to make it right before Him while on earth. After death, is too late.

God forbid it happens when his little girl has sleepovers with her little friends, and she targets the boys involved as she would take every opportunity to get her claws on them.

[@nickeljims1532]

If the ages were reversed he would be locked up. And she would be compensated. Yet the abuser still wins cause she's got back to her mother country and he doesn't get to see his little girl grow up. Your step mother probably pimped you out, on your trip , got some cash and then disposed of you and your father. I have a fifteen year old and a ten year old, I can't imagine either of them being mature enough to wrap their head around what you've been through. Be patient , she will learn the truth one day , and hopefully be not to mentally affected by it all ...she will get to know and embrace the gem that you are.x.
