She went through more trials and tribulations than any child should ever go through. She's an inspiration.
Absolute scary thing is this happens to a lot more children than you would think. I’d say more than half of people that are on this planet were abused when they were children. Maybe even more.
You’re such a beautiful woman. I’m sorry you were mistreated🙏🏽
So very sorry for all the trauma you endured. Inspired by your determination to heal yourself and others.
Such a hero, never understand why adults do these awful things to children.
There's 14k children in fostercare in PA alone. Please consider doing something to help a young person in your community.
What can we do? 😢
😅⁰0⁰
Your story makes me cry 😭....
Lady you are awesome ! You are an inspiration to the world 🥰❤️🙏🏼
I ❤ Dr. Patton and the work she’s done for children.
I had the same vision about meeting my birth family “why won’t someone write Oprah and tell her my story”omg I’m crying thank you for sharing
🥹🥹💖💖💖
I know how you feel. I was adopted also & my adopted parents didn’t love me. So i searched for my biological family. My father is dead & his kids don’t want anything to do with me. I feel the same way about myself as u did. I’m so glad u got help. Most days it doesn’t bother me, others it does.
That woman sounds so evil and she hid her evil behind love and religion.
These types of women always do 😤
My father would tell me the same thing. It hurts me more than it hurts you. And he would also tell me I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it. I was 13 when I first ran away and then ran away again at 15 and never returned again.
I'm so sorry that you had that experience.
Why did u run away?
@@ceceprincess4758 because of verbal and physical abuse.
You are so BRAVE. God bless you & your journey to healing❗🙏
Thank you Dr. Stacey Patton for your story. I was a foster child and I was also adopted. I understand the challenges of being in a foster home. Continue showing the world your strength and show them how children should be loved.
God Bless You 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Dr. Patton, thank you for sharing your experience. It is profound. We love hearing about your journey and perseverance.
You are a true inspiration for many, please continue to share your story with the masses. I am proud of you. Keep going, healing looks great on you 🎉❤
Thankyou for sharing your story, and I'm sorry you had to go through this. You are so strong 💪, beautiful and smart. You survived for a reason.
Love her story! She's now a friend "in my head". Well-spoken woman and a thriver.
I love Dr. Patton
I read my niece your book almost every night. I now understand the message and the powerful story behind it and what you had to overcome so much as a child means everything to me. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Cheers to your healing journey 🙏🏾🙏🏾
❤I've been wanting to write a book and this video gives me hope and purpose❤Thank you❤Blessings 🙌 and prayers 🙏 for you 🙏❤
Thank you for sharing your inspirational story.
Wow wow wow!!! The range of emotion. Gut wrenching sadness to pure joy. You are a breathtakingly beautiful human. Just wow! 🫶🏽🖤
Thanks Stacy for sharing your story. It helps for victims of trauma to hear experiences similar to their own. I feel for the child in you who was abused so harshly.
I appreciate how you explain your trauma in both biological and psychological terms. Many people don't know how trauma changes the brain. I've used EMDR to "rewire" mine. It has pleasantly surprised me how well it works.
I just got the Audible book of your bio.
Take care.❤
What a hero, you are truly an inspiration to other's out there that went through the same painful traumatic experience, that survived!!!!! I salute you . Keep growing positively forward . Remember you are definitely loved . ❤
15:25 this is one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever heard,i wish i was a family member of hers so i could give her the biggest hug in the world ,if you read this im praying for you and hoping god sends your mother through someone to give u a big huge hug, i never knew my mom either havent seen her in 26 years i spent alot of time wondering why she didnt love me but im ok with it now ,i understand how u feel to miss someone you've never known and long for a bond you never had , im sorry for the pain youve endured please keep your head up beautiful sister 🙏💙
Why adopt children to mistreat them 😢
You did an amazing job telling your story.
Omg I can’t even stand hearing it but you felt all that 😢
Dr. Stacy Patton I'm so proud of you. You have endured so much trauma at such a young age. I hear so many stories like yours and worse and can't imagine being put in the same situations. I don't know why people foster and/or adopt children that have already been beaten down by their very short life to just to be physically beaten down by the one's that are supposed to love, protect, and keep safe. Why do people decide to make a child's life so much more unbearable, unsafe and scary. The people who do these acts of violence should be held accountable and placed in jail. It's not fair or right to the kids being subjected to so much violence and brutal beatings for mundane unnecessary reasons. I'm so happy and proud that you grew up to be such a beautiful, respectful articulate and smart woman. Many many more blessings to you throughout your journey in life and much happiness to you always~🌷💓🌞🙏🏽🦋🌹💐😇💞🙏🏽💫🌼🤗
Foster parents and adoptive parents should be required to sign a ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CORPORAL PUNISHMENT contract. Although all children deserve protection, I feel like children in the system are the most vulnerable. I definitely know about religious schools being allowed to beat on you. It makes a child feel like physical abuse is a parent's right as an adult. Sad story this is. Praying for this woman's healing. 😢 🙏🏽
Proud of you sis
I also remember the first strike from adult. It was brutal. My stepsister beat me blue black because I rolled my school socks down. She beat me for what seemed like hours. The lashes she inflicted on me didn’t hurt me as much as the betrayal I felt that this was someone I loved so deeply. My mom had died when l was 6. It as a frightening time for me. Trying to understand all the abuse I endured from various people. I never told a soul to this day about what l endured .
Sounds like she was angry because she didn't have a mom anymore. Sorry u had to endure that
@@ceceprincess4758 thank you.
Amazing I am truly touched
I said a prayer for you because I can remember being slapped out of a high chair as a baby in foster care and other memories. I was lucky to get to go home after a couple of years. I wish you had been able to get back to your family. You can't be a child anymore but you can take the time to treat yourself the way you would have wanted as a child. Give yourself that time. You deserve it as much as you didn't deserve to be beaten.
Wow! This is too much 😢
That's what I do too!
Just take the day off... stop putting pressure on myself. It helps.
I was adopted and my adoptive mother's own mother was a HUGE hypocrite...always hollering jesus in church and claiming to be "christian".....MEANWHILE she would beat her over every little thing,make her the cinderella of the house by having her do all the work,cooking,etc. Theres alot of things black people try to sweap under the rug..this is why i talk to my son now about stuff.
Sad story. Kids do not know options, we need to create options and proactively make them available.
My mother would use news articles about runaways and child abuse in the foster system to scare me from running away. 📰
💙💙
I Experience All Of That Kind Of Wicked Discipline With My Own Bio Parents Growing Up In Africa 🌍 That Kind Of Discipline Is Very Common In The 70s, 80s And 90s. My Bio Father Make Me Take Off My Whole Clothes At Age 16 Before Beating Me With Belt But Naked. All Of My Back Was Open Wounds. I Am In My 50s Still Struggling With What I Experience Growing Up With My Bio Parents
7:32,LOL she used all those classic lines smdh...
What takes so long for adults to quit being a punk neighbor TELL OPEN YOUR MOUTH😢😢😢
❤🙏💛
🙌🙌💪💪🙏🙏
My friend have 4 kids, and she will not give them a hug 😢😢
Why ? That’s actually scary cuz her children may grow up to be mean narcissists cuz they don’t feel wanted .
What!!!
Why
Nobody needs to be a biological, foster and adoptive child to come into the world to be mistreated like garbage. That being the case, better off being alone, to look into the mirror and be attracted to oneself. Hate is causing negative hostile antics. In order to get along, we need positive inputs.
They always put the children back in the home🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
🎉🎉🎉

You survived the storm of it all doing all those great things wrote books doing lectures talking on behalf of abused children but you didn’t become a foster parent and rescue other foster children you should have been a advocate for foster children help reconstruct the foster care system
WTH comment is this telling her what she should have done. Wow. You’ve no clue why she made the decisions she’s made. I’m shocked someone would try to guilt this woman. She was a victim of abuse. She owes no one a damn thing. It’s taken her a lifetime to heal her own wounds and scars. Let her do that however she deems necessary.
Brutal treatment by that foster mom. And to punish kids who hit each other by hitting...how do they not see how nonsensical this is?
It makes no sense , if you hit the adolescent cuz they hit somone else then that’s not teaching them
