Pedophiles are the most conniving, selfish, artful manipulators I have ever come across in the court system. They are expert verbal manipulators. They NEVER change with therapy. They just become more sophisticated at getting away with their activity and picking up the lingo necessary to fool people further. 🤷🏽‍♀️ They’re in a criminal class of their own. Society ought to wake up and stop enabling them.

The ideology of all this pronouns stuff and trans stuff they are saying that MAPS deserve to be left alone and that they have feeling too. So now with drag queens doing story time and letting miners be there and dancing provocatively in front of them and actress Charlize Theron who has a trans child was even promoting drag queens and saying in a video that if anyone messing with the drag queens she will ef them up. Now it is said that these activists are saying yeah they are grooming and there is nothing wrong with this. Porn books in elementary schools and sexualizing children in school starting in kindergarten. So people need to wake up and protect the children

It’s easy to say that from an armchair. With all due respect. As a survivor of child sexual abuse, I have been an advocate for children since I was abused. I fought for myself at age 5 and haven’t stopped since. I also try to educate people. There are exceptions but typically there is a grooming of the family at large. Pedophiles and child molesters are very good at what they do. They are better at interpreting body language than a body language expert. As adults we must be diligent about our children and as a parent we have the responsibility of guarding them against predators. I am all in on personal responsibility. Which includes letting the offender own their actions. The legal system needs to change. As a human being, you have the responsibility to at a minimum speak out against the laws that need to be changed. My solution to pedophiles and child molesters is an island of no return. They can put the island in a Louisiana swamp land guarded by drones. If they try to get off? Drones take them out. Gators eat the rest. They will learn to like to eat gator because they would provide their own food. If they can’t manage to grow their food? They’ll do without. It’s hugely money saving. Society will be safer. I guarantee there will be some predators who will not offend because my law would say “one and done”. I said all that because I’m very serious. We need solutions. PS if their is a death involved with a molestation? Death penalty. One appeal. Upon resolution of the one appeal? The sentence would be carried out. That day. The end. Join me in advocating for children!

It's insane that she had to go through all this and THEY STILL WOULD NOT REMOVE ACCESS TO THE CHILDREN. Fucking nuts.

This young lady told her account very eloquently, especially considering the details of what she and her children went trough. It was emotional for me as a mother to hear the emotion in her voice. Much of what she spoke of resonated with me but I discovered too late for my children who are now adults and I'm still learning new things about what happened.

This story rocked me to my core. Im an English school teacher in Mexico. A year and a half ago I saw my parter having sex with my then, 15 year old daughter. Hell broke loose. Went immediately to the authorities and proceeded. To make this story short, he kidnapped my daughter to another state, I was able to get her back and he spent a year and a half in jail because he did not have prior records and he is free now. I’m a single mom of three girls. All of them underage. I’m raising them alone. This story made me feel like I’m not alone. Also it gives me hope and strength to go on.

I am one of many women who had a husband or boyfriend who would try to talk you into group sex. Then I find out his incestuous family history is real even though my denial did not want me to see it was true. Then there's the forcing himself on me while he screams for his cousin to hold me down. His cousin screamed back let her go can't you see she's not into this. That was over thirty years ago and it was Thanksgiving Day. Every Thanksgiving I would flash back to this thing that happened. The man was just pure evil and I kept waiting for the man I fell in love with to return. Naturally he would never return because he never really existed. Years later I learned the terms narcissist, sociopath and psychopath. He found a new victim who became his second ex wife. He has beaten me unconscious, chased me with butcher knives and steak knives. And always acted like everything was my fault. Miracle I lived through that and actually made a friend with the second ex-wife.

Harrowing story. I was engaged the whole time. Love this interview.

thank you Andrew for interviewing Amanda. Thank you Amanda for sharing your journey. You put your children first as soon as you saw the truth about their bio father. Similar to California, our Ontario family court system tries - but the world’s pendulum has swung too far and dark-minded parents are sometimes protected. and some right-minded parents do not have the resources to keep up the battle.

Andrew...I just finished watching this interview. I admire the way you have of giving your guests the floor. You do not flood them with questions but rather you provide them with a safe space to tell their story in whatever means they need. More often than not people who have such horrific, sad stories to tell need to be heard before too many questions might change the flow of their thoughts. I am a teacher of young children and we are taught to allow [them] to get lost in their play/activity. If we jump in and begin asking too many questions or give too many prompts the course of their creativity and therefore their play changes. This is all a very important pre-curser to their learning. I'm not comparing this to what Amanda and her children have gone through, and will continue to go through; I'm using it as a way to explain a process. You ask questions as they arise and are timed well to the stage of the story. I think this provides a source of comfort to your guests. It fosters trust between you and them. I feel stories such as this are important for the public to hear. We need to know about the struggles others' are going through for several reasons. It opens our minds to the fact that no one is immune to such unfair treatment. It helps us to become more understanding and sympathetic people. It allows for true empathy from others' who have experienced such life changing events and this might open up conversation amongst them that can lead to healing. Life is so complex and not always beautiful but some people will find their own deserved beauty after being tested. These tests come in many forms. Thank you so much for providing Amanda the time and space to tell us her story. She is a very strong, courageous woman and mother and I wish all the best for her and her children.

I'm so proud of you for having the ability to put your emotions aside and reacting fast enough to safe your children. That must've been a whirlwind of emotions but you're so strong. I've heard a lot of stories of child abuse and S.A from the victims perspective as adults. The most heartbreaking thing is the feeling of betrayal and most of those mothers were weak cowards. You put your kids first and one day they'll realize how you rescued them. You're a hero.

The law is an ass especially when it comes to the protection of children. As a retired psychotherapist I have seen this kind of situation many times. The isolation, and disbelief of the mother's testimony allows the revictimisation of both the non offending parent and the children. It is a sick, sordid nightmare that is allowed to go on for far too long because those people who are mandated to protect children are either undermined by the system or are ignored. This mother can be proud and is the hero of this terrible story.

Great interview, Andrew It's a fascinating story

He tricked you into a relationship and of course said yes to the marriage and kids because you were all the perfect cover for his nefarious deeds. I can 100% understand how you both became closer in that period of time after the arrest because you would’ve had so much guilt and shame at his charges and of course believing him to be innocent, that you had no where else to turn but him. I don’t know if you will read the comments, but I was just curious about your parents? Or were they overprotective of you? Sounds like the psychic put you on the right path. There are some good ones, like my mum. You are the ultimate Mamma Bear 🐻 You fought, found everyone you could and even used contemporaneous notes from the kids (which courts love) I’m so happy you triumphed over that evil pedo. He will get caught again because they can’t help themselves. Amanda, it’s fabulous for you and your kids to have such a close bond and living happily.

Healing from the damages caused from these horrific experiences can be lifelong, I hope Amanda and her family Peace and Happiness.

Im so grateful i ve lost all my interest to any romantic relationships for good 😶

This was a very good interview & so respectful to Amanda in telling her story. The short drew me in to watching this!

Wow! Thank you for sharing this remarkable story!

Wow. Excellent interview.

That was a great interview!

You will always believe there's been some misunderstanding before you believe a loved one is actually guilty of this kind of crime. Its not until you see the evidence that you can even begin to consider it might be true.

The way you listen to your guests and only ask the right question is kind and smart

Interesting when she said the authorities believe in rehabilitation for these crimes…why not for drugs?

Wow. I can't even imagine what she must've felt when they told her the charge!

This woman has educated herself to an extent that is impressive!! Yess!!

What a profound, sad, disturbing story. I can so relate on certain levels. My ex was imprisoned (thankfully AFTER our blessed divorce) for child porn. He was pretty well known in the comic book industry…went by Justiniano…and was fired from DC Comics, and I felt completely betrayed and abandoned by the court system, as I applied for, and was denied, a restraining order to keep my beautiful, special needs kids away from him, and a female judge denied it. I was devastated, but in time, things went a bit better for the kids and myself. But it taught me more about the so called joke that is the ‘justice system’.

It gives me the thrills. To be so deeply connected to such a criminal at such a young age. To have children with him. This feels like a pure nightmare. I admire so much the great strength of Amanda to accept the truth and to take action. Even in my own language I wouldn't find the words to express it. Respect.

"(...) most states and countries do this (bonds) differently. " The phenomenon of bonds don't exist in most countries, at least not on Europe. The usual idea is that you only jail people without conviction if it's necessary for a) public or private safety or b) the investigation itself (coercing witnesses, destruction of evidence etc.) If it's necessary, it's necessary regardless of money paid. If it's unnecessary, it's unlawful given that the individual is legally considered innocent until proven guilty.

Thank you, that was fascinating. Her book looks like it would be good too!

Her story is extraordinarily common. A guy named Henry Makow had a website dedicated to this sort of thing. His blog was helpful...way back when...of me making sense of so much of my own life. No, my story in no way mirrors hers, but I definitely chalk that up to my very suspicious nature. (That, & learning all I could of the Language of Symbolism. Confucius was spot-on in that regard)

@@bthe1doright462 Well, I just replaced my book of Confucius (keep it on the bed with me. The old one had a busy existence. So, I haven't earmarked ANYTHING). However, the quote's always in my head: "The World is not governed by rules & laws, but signs & symbols." ...edited to say, symbolism is EVERYTHING...Numerology (both kinds), colors, animals, runes, demonic sigils...Even words used...(Example: stocks & bonds MAY be investments. OR you're a bonded prisoner & when placed in stocks, rotten cabbages barrage your face.) The trick is to pay attention to modern media and go through each scene, seeing with EYES blind to the entertainment.

I love Henry Makow. So intelligent and interesting

In America, if the man or woman you are infatuated with has been married multiple times, run.

Loved this interview!

You are a fabulous host. You let your guest speak without interrupting them. Great job!

This woman is one amazing mom!! I thank her for her willingness to come forward and share this gut wrenching story. Her children are so blessed to have e her and I wish them everything wonderful! ❤

Wow…what strength you have Amanda, so happy you have your children now..bless you.

Wow! What a story! And to think she was such a young momma who took on the justice system to protect her kids at all costs. Thanks for sharing!

Andrew...Wow!! That's all that I have. Great work.

What a brave a very articulate young lady Amanda is.

I thought the same , she would do well in reporting .

First red flag - she had to ask him to marry her. Then, keep having kids. That will tie him up into sticking around. And I’m sure there were no clues whatsoever that the guy was off. “They hide it so well .” No they don’t. I know I sound unsympathetic, but I’m unsympathetic, especially when more & more kids are brought into a deplorable situation.

I agree, she is culpable here.

Fascinating interview, Andrew. Thank you.

I am so sorry you have had to go through all of this. I am so sorry your children have had to endure this. I implore you to reconsider sharing what your son has been through, as that is his story. He may not want people to know what his dad did to him. Even if he thinks he wants to share, I think that decision should be made when he is an adult, not now. Just reconsider. I listened to this video a week ago, and I kept thinking how I would feel if my trauma was shared by someone else…. I had to respond.

Thank you so very much!

Amazing story

She is very brave to tell her story. This is what can happen if you have no economic power of your own to be able to leave a toxic relationship. She was so young and vulnerable as he had most of the power in the situation. Her denial I suppose was a coping and survival mechanism. Thank God She came outof denial and took back her power for herself and her children's sake.

No sex offender should be alone around children, that is a hard thing to hear

I'm no fan of psychics, but if this one got Amanda to open her mind to the reality around her, I'll support it all day.

OMG! I cannot imagine! I think I would go through all of her emotions, but ultimately would go with the science and the facts.

What an incredibly strong person! I'm so glad she was able to see this all the way through! I know she had to, but to take all those steps and come out the other side!

Very interesting interview! Wow.

Court can be soooo miserable

At the end of the video I unsurprisingly have more to say. If anyone around you recognize you from the videos where you were UNCONSCIOUS then THEY'RE the ones that should feel shame, humiliation and guilt. Not you, not your friends. Easier said than done but maybe ask someone "where do you know me from??" see what they say. They should be ashamed. Love and prayers and I've shared your page. Andrew. Thank you for having her on ❤❤

I so loved to hear that Amanda's terrific ordeal has a triumphant outcome. She has done a lot of work, both in the fight for her kids, realizing her husband's mental state and intentions, and navigating the screwed up legal system. Hopefully her self discovery, in hindsight, of her former young self has taught her lessons that will keep her resilient, wise and able to trust enough to find love again, if she hasn't already. And it sounds like both Amanda and her kids are doing well which is great! I read that one of our subscribers recommended Amanda to interview. Really good choice. Good job Andrew! This was so interesting 👍.

I am so impressed by Amanda's strength. And it's admirable that she's sharing her story now, thank you! When she talked about how you can't help a p € d 0, I was struck by how similar that it to an alcoholic. It's 100% on THEM to want to get help. I suppose all addictions are similar in that respect.

Horrible story, could have been so much worse without the resilience and strength she showed to face the truth and take control back. The courts should never have put her children in such a risky situation!

What strength

That was powerful.

This is horrifying. We need to have harsher sentences for these monsters! smdh. Thank you Andrew for having Amanda onto share her story with all of us. 💗 She is such an incredibly strong, brave, and courageous woman.

So sorry you and your children had to navigate all this betrayal and hardship. Congratulations on being able to listen to the spirit within you that led you to take that long arduous road to triumph. As the children realize more, it will become more to them than having been saved from abuse. It will be proof positive that their value in this world was worth protecting at all costs. All souls involved take a step up the evolutionary ladder. And all of us get the benefit of your example. Thank you. Thank you Andrew for bringing us these important stories.

Everyday I feel blessed that I have my husband …I could definitely see how when we are young the many unthought out choices we make. I just turned 19, he 21 and life and marriage is hard enough without all the other weird and crazy stuff! As for being in to older, twice married person would have been red flags to me but we all search for different things.

i love your fighting spirit!
