Very humbling and moving. Just when you think your life was not good and you feel damaged, you watch this and realise how lucky you have been. Many blessings to Wattie and his journey of self healing and reconnecting with his family.
“I got sentenced to 10 years for acting like a 12 year old boy” that’s what you’re trying to tell us?? 😂 Get a job real men fly their own flags not join gangs for protection 😂
"Im guna waste the person that gives you a patch" ♥️ my dad said something along those lines to me 18 years ago .Didn't understand him then,glad I listened and now I know what he means..
All the best Wattie for your future. You are too good for prison life! You deserve to be free from your demons and spend the rest of your time being your best self, because your too good for anything less. Thank you for sharing your story.
I like to say thank you for sharing your story. It was very emotional for me . There's always a reason behind everything for everyone's reactions in life. And you have to live with the pain but in time you will heal. You are with the right people to guide in the right direction ❤thank you wattie may you be blessed with a second chance in life to make a better journey in your life with your family and support. So happy for you . ❤❤
Wattie, kia kaha, be there for your family, they need you so much and you need them. Don’t let this awful system continue to make you angry and regress. You are a wonderful artist. Please stay out and be great.
Chur wattie don't know if you remember me but I'm a little white boy you helped find a passion for life when I met you in kaitoke I'm glad your out brother stay strong stay positive much love brother
@sjonifknrei I was in West2 after I got kicked out of Southwood for Assault charges, East Wing before it was taken over by segs, back when we signed a partition to get the pull up bars in the yards, after they done it up from those old raggedy beds they had, when they had the big open yard next to the gym, could yell out to West1 and 2 and sometimes remand,
All the very Best Wattie for your future. Megan is my sister and her and Mike are amazing people with huge capacity to Love and support you. Keep doing one small healing step at a time and it will add up. God bless you ♥️
Some people need to realise that their own perspective isn’t the only perspective, to those that are looking down at him and his journey obviously you were raised with a silver spoon, and yeah he ain’t perfect but who isn’t, at least he learned from his mistakes and atoned for his ways and understands himself and dug deep to find the root of what made him who he is today. Big ups to the man for being real, mad respect. One Love 🖤☝🏾
Wattie, I hope your journey of healing and self discovery is fruitful and may it inspire Hooponopono in you and in others, also shout out to Mike for his compassion and great work.
One of my good friends, ended up in jail in his teens. We 40 now and he’s been in and out of jail for the last 20+ years. I caught up with him over 10 years ago, I could see he didn’t like the freedom he had and knew he was gunna end up back inside and he did and still there today. Gets out and the longest he’s lasted is 2 months. We can’t help him until he’s ready.
Kia kaha Wattie. I am a whanaunga from Morrinsville. Seeing you at Nana Maggie's grave and looking at some of the old photos, I saw whānau that I knew. Nana Cowboy, Uncle Smokey. I haven't seen Aunty Loretta in a while. It was good to see your sister Vera. It's been years. Keep strong, cousin. You've got Mike there to support you, but most importantly, your whānau. Take care and God Bless ❤
Was heart breaking seeing them communicate. Was basically 2 strangers. Hope that kid hears his fathers words for what they are and not as a ego battle.
Thank you for bringing up to the surface all our traumas...individual and collective...and thank you for sharing with the world Wattie...just what we all need. You CAN do it...we CAN do it...abundant Love and Light to you and Whanau...Sand
So, what he basically said was, all gang members join up because they need a sense of belonging, as they are in pain, not resolving and letting go of childhood pain. I wish him all the best and also for all gang members to step back and claim their true destiny...be productive and caring citizens. Be the person you dreamt of becoming when a little child....be the change for our future.
Stay strong Wattie, dont go back to the life man, your family needs you, and your kids need the role model that you never had brother, time for you to make good memories to get rid of the bad ones my friend. From Britain, stay safe and keep smiling 🫶
Congrats on your first 100 days Wattie. Proud of you. You're brave for sharing your story and the awful things you went through as a young one - you were failed by multiple adults and I'm so glad you have a second chance at life.
I see his pain. Wattie just needed to be told as a young boy he was loved, he was enough and he was believed. I feel his nature - even as an enforcer - was inherently gentle. Big loves to you Wattie. God doesn't put us through the events in life we can't handle.
Kia ora Wattie. Thanking you for sharing your journey. To begin at such a young age & within a blink of an eye 40 years has past, to the now, to your Present. I find very humbling Wattie simply because it is of your past you've walked brings Productive Positive Change & more impotantly allowing yourself to heal. Certainly no time limit on that. Might possibly take another 40 years. Anywho's I believe you have alot to offer even if its just that one person all is not lost it's Rewarding. All the best Wattie & Thank you once again.
I met Wattie when I was a kid. He was our neighbour in Whanganui back in 2006/2007. He was a nice guy. Never did any wrong to us. Glad to see you trying to turn your life around 👌
You can also hold the patch and do positive things. Its not always about violence and negativity. Being Black Power can also be a positive force to do good and protect the community. A change of policy, kaupapa, vision and leadership in the right direction. BLACK POWER "FAMILY FIRST - PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE"
Change of actions is a change of heart, BP was there for him. They looked after him, when no one else was there. Give the man a chance. One day at a time. Your all good Wattie. Chur brother
Wow! This is so sad but also uplifting knowing Wattie is trying to change despite what he has been through. So nice that he is reconnecting with his whanau. The abusers ruin lives just for their self gratification; the damage lasts for a lifetime. Kia Kaha Wattie, stay free.
@user-jh2sr8bl8v Wattie explained he was sexually abused as a boy. He's trying to be a better human even after 40 years of prison. It would of broken most men he's still here picking up the pieces doing positive things for himself his whanau and community ❤
@jaspermartini4830 he's done nothing positive though lol. All he's done is come out of jail, and go back again. Then before we know it he'll be collecting the pension, which he had absolutely no hand in contributing to. An easy life. (Also, is there any proof of his stories of abuse?)
Kia Ora brother Wattie... I'm one of the many Corrections officers from Kaitoke Prison from the time... Fuc prison brother its down time... You got this bro... kia kaha
Got respect for this man, I'm a gang member and been patched for the mongrel mob for 20 years now, and listening to what he said to his son to stay who he is, was a good thing to say, I have two sons who are patched up and that cycle carried on, where this man stopped the cycle with his son, much respect to your history bro
Watching this video really made me think about my two sons i was never nere for them much i was always in jail now im out and doing good ill go see them . I just want to say thank you for sharing your story. I haven't done as much jail as you but i know being away takes its toll. 🙏
Uphold your mana brother. You are a MASTER of defining YOURSELF. I hope for the best, expect the worst, and pray for a miracle 🙏 You deserve to live your best life happy, nothing less!!! Be free of those demons that weigh on your shoulders. They are not yours to carry! Mike at Te Pā, I love your work, a true blessing in disguise, the definition of LOVE, and doing things wholeheartedly without expectations!!! I can not thank you enough on behalf of Aotearoa Be free, my people. We are not to be caged like animals. We are misunderstood, and no one knows your story, but we can definitely teach our upcoming rangatahi how to apply themselves like kings and queens and be the best versions of themselves for THEMSELVES 👑🦋👑
So feel for Wattie and those who have not had the lives they deserved as a human being. A lot of the generations were not brought up in the expression of love as we weren't. Our parents did not know. And those who suffered also from sexual abuse, it was even harder. I may not have been the best mother but my kids knew that they were loved, hugged, and told that the were. Never allowed name calling in our family. We can just do our best and show our love, even if it is tough love at times. All the best Mr Wattie ❤
Much love and blessings to you Wattie, its a day by day trial to change a lifetime of violence, a lifetime of being locked up. If you make a mistake, pick yourself up again cos you are a winner. Finally I really want to say, in the middle of all your darkness as a child, there was light - your nan! So now as you walk in your koro pathway - Be the light for your mokopuna, for your whaanau... Kia tau-te-rangimarie ehoa, ngaa mihi aroha x
I only see a very decent gentleman in this video. I could though imagine his dark side. I do worry that Wattie gets a very well deserved decent pay packet. The worry is the alcohol. if your reading this Wattie, your a good man, be careful, be careful with the grog. Don't drink too much and go back to your old self. Your too old for that shit, this version of yourself your a good role model.
This really teaches you alot when youve never deen it before so thank you for educating me and giving me alot of empathy for the people who grew up like this ❤
Alot to absorb brother, one day at a time. First thing is learning to be kind in a strange environment. You will get there brother, love more, hate less 🙏🏽
Tēnā koe e te Rangatira. Thank You for sharing Your journey, the good, bad and ugly. Seeing You navigate through historic intergenerational trauma to heal as best You can for You and Your Whānau, is admirable! YOZA OG ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I almost fell in with Bikies here in Australia from hang around to social club going on prospecting under a life member. I have always been around people who could get me in trouble and my anger issues only took me to the next level. I hated it. Now I slam work and paying off a mortgage here in Sydney and found a girl I want to start a family with. I have reconnected with my loved ones and still got some ways to go thanks to abusing the bottle but I am almost there..... It sounds real corny but its true.... If I can do it so can you. No excuses... Work hard and stay out of trouble.
some hard truth korero Wattie, Kia kaha Kia koe me to whanau e hoa. Nanny never left you you have returned to her after all these years. A journey of sadness now a journey of healing & life . Arohanui
I am so glad that i got to watch Wattie's story. Wattie, you may not realize it, but your story will no doubt reach and touch a lot of people who have gone through similar childhood upbringing or those people that have had a good childhood; this story will give them a better appreciation/understanding towards others. I can see and hear that Wattie has a good heart and a great understanding about life. Wattie has so much to give and help others who are struggling with life on the outside. We need more men like you, to help our people in NZ. Mike Lloyd from the Te Pa organization, what a great man who goes out of his way to help everyone. Wattie all your whanau, are cool people. They are willing to unite and support each other. You can see the genuine aroha for one another. *To help better our mindset, is to rethink that our past life is not our future, the abuse whether it is(sexual, physical violence etc) that engulfed our bodies for many years and caused us to enrage our minds with anger and hatered towards others, will no longer entangle our hearts, because it is not ours to carry with us or to keep. Everyone one deserves to be truly happy, free and loved. Wattie, I truly wish you all the best in your future. Kia Kaha
Very humbling and moving. Just when you think your life was not good and you feel damaged, you watch this and realise how lucky you have been. Many blessings to Wattie and his journey of self healing and reconnecting with his family.
this is what journalism in NZ should be. well done NZH

Thats what i say when i hug my oldest bro 😭 its like im hugging my dad 😢 love this for Wattie and his whanau. Wishing them all the best 🙏
Dad's saying, "Don't be a follower, Be a leader".
But still has his patch! What a joke!

Sounds like he needs to be old, frail and lose the function of his limbs. Some people just have that evil in them and can't help themselves.

Ae. Cousin. Sally. He looks So much like his Late Uncle Smokey, Nana Cowboy.
seeing his son was heartbreaking man, I hope the young bruthas can watch something like this and see that this life brings no good
Was heart breaking seeing them communicate. Was basically 2 strangers. Hope that kid hears his fathers words for what they are and not as a ego battle.

I am so glad that i got to watch Wattie's story. Wattie, you may not realize it, but your story will no doubt reach and touch a lot of people who have gone through similar childhood upbringing or those people that have had a good childhood; this story will give them a better appreciation/understanding towards others. I can see and hear that Wattie has a good heart and a great understanding about life. Wattie has so much to give and help others who are struggling with life on the outside. We need more men like you, to help our people in NZ.
Mike Lloyd from the Te Pa organization, what a great man who goes out of his way to help everyone.
Wattie all your whanau, are cool people. They are willing to unite and support each other. You can see the genuine aroha for one another.
*To help better our mindset, is to rethink that our past life is not our future, the abuse whether it is(sexual, physical violence etc) that engulfed our bodies for many years and caused us to enrage our minds with anger and hatered towards others, will no longer entangle our hearts, because it is not ours to carry with us or to keep.
Everyone one deserves to be truly happy, free and loved.
