  • Gripping story

    I’m late to this story but what a brave young man Joey is, a real hero. Terrifying and sad to listen to, could be anyone’s son, very valuable lessons will be learned from this. I hope Joey realises his impact and I wish him well.

  • Binged in one day

    Yes, the inner-city brogue can be tough at times but it’s a crazy story. I feel like the bad reviews are people related to Brian Kenny. This was underage kid trying to survive, he sold drugs but that doesn’t mean he deserves to by physically & sexually abused and live in fear as an adult for trying to do the right thing in the end. Jesus people are mean. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t!!

  • Harrowing and powerful

    I binged this over 2 days. An absolutely devastating and powerful story of grooming, abuse, recovery and the justice system. Joseph is a brave tenacious young man
