The truth is that there are many, many bad people in the world who do bad things to good people Every Single Day, and you cannot rely upon law enforcement or the justice system to take them off the streets.
Imagine being just eleven years old and feeling the need to escape an abusive home. That’s exactly what Marcus Miller did in 1967. His journey, which spanned from Oregon to Florida, was anything but easy. Marcus navigated a treacherous path filled with dangers like being abused by hobos, robbed after helping someone, and even kidnapped in Kansas. His story is a gripping tale of survival and resilience.
Marcus eventually found himself in Miami, where he joined the crew of a schooner and sailed into the Caribbean. His life took another dramatic turn when he was recruited by a Panamanian military contractor. For over twenty years, Marcus worked to rescue kidnap victims across Colombia, Central America, and Mexico. His education came not from traditional schooling but from the hard lessons learned on the streets and in jungles.
In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Marcus opens up about his incredible journey and the many obstacles he overcame. He discusses the harsh realities of childhood abuse, which he describes as a global pandemic affecting countless lives. Marcus is passionate about breaking the silence surrounding child abuse and educating the public on its prevalence and impact. Marcus also shares how he found solace in his faith and community, which played a crucial role in his healing process.
He talks about the limitations of law enforcement in dealing with child abuse and stresses the importance of individuals developing their own strategies for protection. His story is not just one of survival but also of advocacy, as he now works tirelessly to educate others and prevent child abuse. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the profound effects of childhood trauma and the incredible strength it takes to overcome it.
Marcus Miller's story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is hope and the possibility for change.
