Hey everybody. I appreciate all the positive words. I have actually been blessed to turn out half decent. And ive overcane alot.
I do have my drug issue wich is actually pretty new to me. I had a house fire followed by a theft and it flipped my life upside down and I had to stay with family and I dealt with my issues the wrong way and done some heroin which like I said i got from my mom when I had a toothache. But I dont have the desire to continue on the drugs and ive tried to quit 5 times recently and failed. But im gonna do what it takes to quit this shit
Please try to get professional help. My heart breaks because of the heartache of your childhood. But you seem to have so much potential! My prayers are for you to realize your full goals and expectations.
I hope you make it off drugs, brother. Or if not, I hope you can manage your habit to the point that you can keep living a good life. Personally I think all drugs should be legal and available and the government should stay out of it. I'm from Indiana and drugs are huge here....but from what I've seen, the drugs only become a problem when they run out. When people have access to the drugs they want, they seem happy and productive in a lot of cases. Their lives only get bad when they run out of drugs and get sick and desperate. They're fine when they've got what they need. Suboxone is a perfect example. Good luck man, your video was cool and I enjoyed it a lot.
@matthew Roberts Just watched this interview and wow! You are a smart, articulate,charismatic young man with Great potential!! Please don't go down that path that you know won't be good.... You deserve a good life man. Go get it ❤️
Good Luck
All these prescribed pills and street drugs are in the street are by designed its all been orchestrated from our supposed leaders we are under Satanist philosophical beliefs and everything's is turn UPSIDE DOWN backwards everywhere you go it's bit settle but you can see it.
They have unleashed all their demons and open up many portals so many people will be taken over this is not a good time to be under NO DRUG!!!!
Wow! He literally told you at the end Mark that he wants your help opening up the cases of the pedophiles and government in his town because them as the people of the town don't have the power!That's an extremely strong statement! Kudos to this young man for telling us his story!
Yep!
He should make a documentary about that! I know it could be huge even sell it to Netflix maybe
Everyone who has tried to expose pedophilia within the government has been suicided.
@@niks9652 Netflix is in on this type of thing, I don't believe they are in the business of exposing pedofila 🤨
Its comimg together investigation has started victims are coming forward and yesterday he was sent on leave from school thank God.
UPDATE: Dusty is no longer teaching!! A small victory. Now, he needs to be put in a jail cell.
Dusty Grubb of North Laurel Middle School is the youth pastor/teacher Matthew is referring to in this video. He was my sixth grade algebra teacher. My good friend at the time’s sister always told us to NEVER let anyone or yourself be alone with him in a room. She said he got into some trouble in 2011 due to allegations. He was allowed to keep teaching and still is today.
We knew from the beginning he was beyond sickening and all of us knew something was up. There’s a lot of people right now coming forward (again) because of this video. Thank you for sharing your story, Matthew.
Thank you so much
Amen! Thankful this channel shined a bright white glaring light on him. Darkness can't take the light. Sickens me this guy proclaims to be a Christian Youth Pastor. Being a hypocrite is one of many reasons people dislike Christians.
I'm honestly surprised and angry that some people didn't take care of it years ago.
We had a teacher here named Mr. Jarrell who was a perv. He would make the girls he liked sit on his lap and would give them good grades. Openly. It was the 80s. My mama told me I better never let that man close to me.
@@matthewroberts3279 thank you for speaking up about the pedophiles. It's a huge problem. Expecially within the gov and elites. I'm praying we finally take them down.
I grew up in Clay County and can confirm what he's saying. As an update, since this video release, many more people emerged telling their abuse stories, and it was enough to get the guy removed from his teaching position as of Oct 2020. I don't believe he's been arrested yet, but he is under investigation.
Thank you so much for updating this story! This can not go without closure that man is stopped.
Mathew is my cousin and he told the truth about everything, even for me I was done the same way, I didn't have any one to turn to ,the whole time I was a child I was hurt so bad by abuse and Noone seemed to care but I delt with it to now at a Older age and it was terrible for me ..so today I'm going to make a better life for me I guess every thing I been through has made me a better person..Mathew deserves a good life we both do,our life was really messed up when we were kids, it's awful that nobody even helped us when we were kids .my mom died at an early age, she was my only protection for me..Manchester was a bad place and still is nothing for the young kids to do...so one day I'm want to change that ...and I will....
@@jerryleeroark6584 go do it son I live at the top of the first hill on 421 going towards Manchester at Madison Co Rockcastle Co line.Big Hill .
Let me know how I can help
@@howlinwulf Thank you for offering to help this young man, and making your community a little better.
Aww he's a little hero.
I love the Appalachian stories. They’re my favorite videos right now.
Yess... my favorite too!
Why? They’re full of stories of unemployment and drugs
Same! Well I like all of them but this is so interesting to watch too.
Same. Not interested in skid row
@@megangriffith9630 Interesting that you even watch this channel - I'll take Appalachia any day over monotony skid row..
The teacher who molested him is getting exposed currently
Its all over school
@@macsauce7303 Has it gotten in the news at all yet?
@@FallOutGirl86 not yet but there is an investigation going and parents are pulling their kids out of his class
@@papakrusty282 ah ok, thanks!
Good he needs to be exposed & prosecuted
This is my cousin, I was raised with him all my life in Kentucky and didn't even know this happened, but I did talk to him after seeing this and let him know I'm always here. Love you Matt, I hope this disgusting person goes to prison eventually.
I hope his doing well
I’ve been in contact with someone from Manchester through Reddit. He grew up there and knows exactly who he is talking about. All this information is being forwarded to the proper officials to be investigated. It takes everyone to protect these innocent babies. With social media anything is possible.
#saveourchildren
Let's just say I work in the field, I got the guy's info and have sent it to the right people as well to be investigated. people are spreading the word where the victim is from. It's going to get the attention it needs.
im from there ask me anything
Hope its mcconnell
@@thefeercat9166 Do you know who hes talking about?
@@AmethystSnow yea i do but i’m not sure if it’s the same dude they got a young guy now for youth outreach
This man is not stupid. Imagine where he could be if he had good roll models and an education. He is self award and needs some guidance. Very interesting interview.
It seems everyone in his life was a bad influence. His parents were very poor examples and I actually feel very bad for Matthew. I hope he can turn himself around.
I hate you white people
@@GwopHeem whoa...I am so curious about your reasoning...please elaborate
Exactly
Great comment, I agree
@@GwopHeem take it easy
Wow! I live in Laurel County and the man he is talking about is one my daughters teachers! She said everyone in school talks about how this man touches all the boys. I had no idea until seeing this video, she knew exactly who he was speaking about! Something needs to be done! This is insane. Thank you for speaking up! I applaud you for that! Thank you 🙏
Oh yeah I had him awhile back in 8th grade, all my friends that had him talked about how he was touchy, he didn't mess with me too much luckily though. He liked to touch and rub your shoulders and just gave off a creepy vibe, idk, maybe it's just me
Wow, this is wild! I hope the system took care of this predator!
@Love One another finally
Do you plan on taking action? Or will you do nothing like every other coward adult in your county and Clay county?
@@anthonybourdainsblacknephe4921 exactly. She needs to speak up to the authorities.
If this guy went back for adult education, he could become anything he wanted. A great interview, a strong person. I hope he kicks those drugs ,he has so much potential.
What he said about hitchhikers is 100% true. I've hitched all over the US, and Appalachia was by far the easiest place to get a ride and full of the friendliest and most generous people. Now I live in Appalachia full time. I feel like it was meant to be my home all along.
I know. I sometimes think of going back West, but really can’t imagine doing it.
Oh wow I'd love to live there I live in UK so it's just a pipe dream
@@debratansey6074 the Appalachians spread all along the east coast of the United. From Georgia to Maine
It's awesome to fit in
This boy is so smart, good hearted and he’s good lookin too. But sadly he didn’t have a chance to reach his potential. People slamming needles in his arm at 12-13yrs old is sad
@Jordy Lunkhead Verrill coming from "lunkhead" 👌. You must be pretty stupid yourself if you think intelligence is the only factor in passing a grade.
I so agree. His environment twisted his life. He's definitely intelligent with much potential. Even his speech is so clear and to the point. Not what you'd expect for a troubled boy from the mountains.
@Jordy Lunkhead Verrill Sounds like he failed due to being expelled, fighting, likely drugs too. Set up for failure. ..definitely not a dumb kid, just dealt a bad hand.
Jordy Lunkhead Verrill because he was a freakin druggy who prob didn’t try doesn’t mean he is stupid
@Jordy Lunkhead Verrill yes seeing how some of his educators were purchasing their drugs right in front of him as a child, well you could say the pos taught him everything he knew, seems to me that is a reflection on their teaching ability as they were probably high, not his learning ability.
Matthew is one of the more likeable interviews of late (getting tired of the pimps) He is very articulate for someone with no education, and is still young enough to make a positive change. I wish him the best and would love to see a follow-up on this young man. Thanks Mark!❤
I think they are all interesting...I see no more of a parallel to my life with the pimps OR the people of Appalachia....so I enjoy seeing other sides of life than my own. You can learn something from anyone if you listen to their story imo. Sometimes hearing a echo chamber of beliefs doesn't really allow for growth and understanding.
Squares
Oh yes :) I love being born in Appalachia. A lot of us have dealt with family being on drugs lol
Omega Phats We aren’t squares anymore than y’all are. Believe that
💯
I discovered this series today. It's infuriating and gut wrenching to watch each of the subjects describe in heartbreaking detail how every level of society - parents, teachers, pastors, police, courts - failed every single one of them.
I live in the Appalachian Mountains and I just turned 42 yesterday we had at outhouse No indoor plumbing, heated and cooked on a wood stove and took baths in the creek.
I lived in Kentucky as a small child and we did all the same things.
This kid here is no Hillbilly. He could easily make it in any normal midwestern town. I see him making a move soon... His life is not over. Plenty ahead of him. 'He's one good job away on to the right path.
i think he said he has a business
I live in ohio but from ky and raised there.
But I do own a business and work my but off make good money I never dreamed I'd make
@BrewCity imagine if he had flip flops on, what would be your analysis?
@BrewCity I’m a city boy but I own a pair of Ariat boots that I wear outside of work, makes me feel manly wearing them even though my job requires I wear comfortable athletic footwear.
@@LuckyC555 ...But he didn't... Nor did he have high heels on? and you're highly imagined-point being? Verses the reality-based fact of what he was actually wearing...
Someone is going to be headed for Clay Co. looking for a pastor in charge of the outreach program and they wont be interested in asking many questions.
Let's hope so
Justice will be served
@@ashleystewart34ify I truly hope so ! He needs to be behind bars !!!
But they might get the wrong person?!
Nah. They’ll find the right person...
Dusty Grubb was my 8th grade science teacher at North Laurel middle school (I think he also taught a few algebra classes). I can’t not even begin to explain how weird the guy was. I was so glad when I heard that he had finally been exposed. It’s just kinda sad because I graduated HS in 2018 and they let him keep teaching middle school children until late 2020 I believe. But anyways the “City of Hope” sign being changed to “city of Dope” is completely true and everyone in southeast Kentucky still makes fun of it lmao.
He’s so on board with prosecuting the youth pastor. All he needs is support and direction. My heart breaks for all the innocent victims. I believe you.
his name is dusty grubb. he’s a youth pastor for a clay county church and he was my 8th grade math teacher in london ky. i still get chills when i think about all the times he rubbed my arm and back and whispered in my ear. it’s only been 4 years since then and i’m only 17 now.
I’m sorry 😔 that’s so awful. I hate hearing that this stuff is so prevalent, we desperately need a revolution in this country but at the very least this guy needs to be taken out ASAP
I can't get enough of these Appalachia videos. They are outstanding.
I agree it's sad but touching to me!
I'm glad we're your entertainment
They make me cry. Their politicians are rich while they stay poor and on drugs. Mitch McConnell & Rand Paul are blood sucking leaches
Better off go to EUROPE.
The youth pastor and “respected member of the community” needs to be stopped and in prison. The school principal that turned a blind eye and has been protecting him all these years should be in prison as well because he’s equally as complicit. There’s still a chance for Matthew to get himself together and break the cycle. He will likely need to leave the area to do so. He’s very self-aware.
King Croc “Probably” Abuse 🤨🤔 Wtf Bro Because you know Christians 🙄 Well shit, Me too! & Let me tell you! people who claim to be people of God are just as capable as anybody else to commit crimes. Heinous crimes too. Why, because their supposed to be “trusted” people. Let that sink in
I agree
JunieB Jay - well said
King Croc I’m not Christian but criminals/pedophiles come in all color,race,religion. (Probably abuse) that’s why a lot of victims don’t speak up because many will not believe. I’m not saying that people don’t lie about abuse but it’s better to investigate than come to a conclusion saying they are not guilty without investigating. Criminals (neighbors,family members,pastors ect. We walk amongst these terrible people. Many have to stop categorizing a certain group and say they are pedophiles/criminals. I’m not trying to be rude and everyone has a different opinion. But I’m tired of people putting a label in certain groups/race/religion. Just because they are Christian they are not pedophiles 🤦🏻♀️ come on now I don’t know how you can think that. As I said anyone you know may be a criminal/pedophile. Please open up your mind and don’t take it the wrong way on what I wrote.
@@jetsetjayyy9572 Your reply Is The Ugly Truth. I hate it when anyone puts Christ in an ugly light because I am a Christian but Nobody casts darkness on us like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Fell in love with his utter honesty.
This guy is very rehab available. He has high potential to turn his life around. I’m praying for him in Jesus name as we speak. He has such potential. Breaks my heart. He is not a bad person by any stretch or the imagination.
fuck off with the jesus shit
Hayden some people need that, to get them through.
@@NavyVetJack then find something else to get you through, that belief is idiotic
@@ThReverend6661 you sound so angry, you should try some prayer. Find some peace, you know?
@@ThReverend6661 WHO ARE YOU..to tell anyone how to get through life? Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean you have the right to come into this thread or anyone else's and spew VILE HATRED towards God's Son! It's like you were searching for a religious comment just to say "fuck off with the jesus shit" YOUR WORDS!
This man really told it like it is. Nothing but respect and I appreciate your time and giving us real stories, Matthew. Great video.
He touches my heart.
I feel sad for him.
Damn powerful stuff there I'm 51 when I was 13 years old my football coach did the same exact thing to me I remember it like it was yesterday Except I never had the courage to tell anybody.
You just did 🤗
And thank you for that! I hope you have healed my friend!
🙏🏽
Know not many take the time to read, but I'd like to recommend the book 'Dreamland'. It explains what happened to Appalachia because of the "Pill Mills". I currently live in the tri-state area of Ohio, West Virginia & Kentucky. It's accurate.
I'm in southern Indiana and I concur. I saw it here. It's basicly the same shit here just a bit more populated .
This is by far the most interesting one for me yet. Likable kid too.
Damn he sounds smarter than some people who heavily educated
Exactly! Some of the people in here don't see that. Ugh...
Ummmmm......no. You must be one dem girls he robbed dat bank wif.
@@olewetdog6254 no, the way he talks dummy. Joe Biden can’t even be this articulated
@@taracrump9486 You mean "this articulate?" lol
And if YOU wanted to sound smart you would say "people who are highly educated." Keep trying. You'll get it.
A bright, handsome young man. He so desperately needs some support and positive mentors. He has a lot of potential.
I live in one of the poorest counties in Kentucky but even when I went to Manchester with some friends I was shocked at the level of poverty some families lived in.
He seems like a genuine person, a smart person, a good person
Yes, he is that...
But, he also has a whole lotta maturing to do
This guy is very likeable I appreciate his openness. I hope drugs don’t get the better of him because he seems as though he could get on the straight and narrow and make something of his life. Maybe he is happy as he is
Right? I feel like if he got totally clean, he would be a wonderful father and husband 🙂
100%
Go Matt!
I really like this dude! This guy is honest as heck! I feel like bringing him to Australia because I know he would thrive here and have a better life! I hope he’s doing well.
Yeah, I kinda can see that. Living in the outback.
"I got caught robbing one" I love this guy. He is smart!
This man is a natural story teller
Appalachians seem to have a natural intelligence
Latrice R All comments matter guurl
Latrice R I’d rather listen to the same shit from these people that actually had real life problems. Not someone who thinks they are owed something because their ancestors were slaves and demand justice because people were shot by a cop for doing “nothing wrong”
He can sure enough spin a good yarn 💞
@@michellehitt1976 totally
It would be interresting to hear this mans lifestory in details over some episodes
I agree
Would also like an update
Such a great storyteller and seems like a wise dude. I hope he gets on top of his life, he’s so capable.
♦️ Matthew thank you for telling your story about the young minister!!!
I hade that happen to me by trusted teachers, uncles and grandfather. I was taught not to tell on relatives. I am proud of you Matthew.
THANK YOU MATTHEW 🤗
It's sad what they do to children. I think it happens way more than we imagine.
Very well spoken for the upbringing he had.
His vocabulary is impressive but I can't get past the stuffy nose sound. Hard to comprehend.
I am living for these appalachian interviews
Love them! They are so interesting!
Tara,
There should be more important things to live for than a silly video.
Unless, these videos make you feel better about YOUR life.
@@KAdams-dr4pc ok relax! They're not actually the only reason I live 🤣
@@taracoff6832
Lol .... I'm happy to here that.
I just thought you might need a reminder that you have more important things in your life.
Enjoy life, family and friends.
🤗
This by far is the best of these interviews I've seen. And the raw honesty of of this man is unsurmountable. Simply epic !
I live in the next county over from this guy . His story is sadly like so many others . Thankfully I never fell into the traps though I could have very easily . I was blessed to have good parents who worked and tried their best . I finished school , went on to trade school which set me up for constant means of employment . I take care of myself and those I love but I always keep in mind all these tragic things could have been me . But for the grace of God .
My Mommy was from Owlsley County.
This was by far my favorite! He seems so sweet. Loving these appalachian stories right now
I really liked his story, but hate he has one to tell. Rooting for this guy ♡ ♡
Dude this is some of your guys best work! I hope that youth pastors gets what's coming to him
you can tell it was very powerful for this guy sharing his story. dude is the frontier of culture leadership. hope he realizes how strong and generous that makes him as a person. thank you. i hope they get that pastor.
I'm from a small, impoverished town in the UK, I can relate to the feelings of hopelessness growing up from having so much negativity around you.
J J - UK here too. Work hard to move out bro - sending hugs
And here I'm thinking UK is paradise.
These Appalachian stories are so interesting to me. It is so crazy how many people in our country live like this.
I was born in West Virginia grew up in North Carolina. I could tell you things that you wouldn't believe about my little county in West Virginia. This guy looks like and sounds like any one of those guys I know back home. This man is actually one of the lucky ones. So imagine where it goes from here.
West Virginia is the same way. Not everyone in these states are drug addicts and uneducated. I know alot of successful, normal, functioning adults, like I am. I also know and have seen some crazy things as well. People doing things that are just insane and really unbelievable for drugs, Its sad all of it!
Things are the same here in Wise country Va Bigstone Gap VA.
Thank you for coming forward!
These interviews are refreshing. I'm enjoying Appalachian stories so much. Please continue to do more of these. God bless em all. Thanks for the upload
The only way to get out is to leave...I grew up in a town of less than 400 people...surrounded by towns even smaller. Our little town was kind of the "hub", and all the kids from surrounding towns came to mine by bus to go to school and such. Almost everyone I grew up that didn't leave is either dead or deep into addiction.. I know of a single person that didn't leave and didn't get caught up. I hate that town so much I won't even go visit.
Wow only 400 people? That's crazy.
I wish I could move to a place with that many people. Way to crowded down here where I live.
His mom gave him heroin for a toothache, my mom would have gave me some Tylenol. Great job Mom smh!
My dad gave me a string and a door knob. 😅
I refuse to offer my adult children a beer when they visit!
My mom was from that part of Kentucky, she rubbed whiskey on my gums.
My mom was not one to cry to about pain.She believed people over exaggerated it. She is a tough cookie. She would’ve just told me to “shake it off or I’ll give you something to cry about “.
This kid has potential. He is so close to a turn around. Very likeable and his story is captivating. He didn't deserve that childhood
Man I'm so hooked on this channel and the Appalachia videos! Such a unique way of living out there!
Thanks mark for always having a wide variety & being on top of uploading story’s everyday!
Everybody knows of that one youth pastor or assistant coach that should never have kids at his house 🥺
Yes predators are in every town in every walk of life
Matt's story made me think of Jerry Sandusky.
My pediatrician was later found to be supplying teenage 12-14 year old boys with pharmaceuticals...Dr.Robinson, Wichita Ks, 1980’s.
My dad is from clay county. I will never forget my visits up there. Its burned into my mind forever!
People like me need to see interviews like this. It’s like there’s enough pain to go around for everyone.
People are on drugs there because alcohol and drugs kill the pain of generational poverty and abuse. His parents taught him what they know. This stuff has been proven to be in our DNA. I’ve been sober for 14 years in 12 step recovery, done years of therapy. I’d love to help somehow
Congrats on your journey! Odaat!
Ive lived in these hollers of east Kentucky for 40 years. Hes not on the dope due to “poverty” hes on the dope because there is absolutely nothing to do. Period. If youre not a sportsman, if you don’t hunt, fish or ride atv’s theres absolutely nothing to do. Thats the cause of the epidemic that has really put a damper on our community
I hope he with encouragement sues the church ... he should find a lawyer... he could save future victims..... he needs to do something....
Mathew I really hope you get the chance to move away and make a better life for yourself. I wish you all the best,you so deserve it. Thank you for your honesty.
Matthew is such a great storyteller! & very likable! It made me so sad to hear about his childhood surrounded by drugs. He has so much potential to turn his life around for the better, wishing him all the best ❤️
It’s a real shame how life works. This is a good kid right here he just got dealt a really shitty deck of cards
Agree....if he is as intelligent and capable and morally correct as he seems, he can pull himself out.
Only life that works this way is in Kentucky
He is a likable person and seems very sincere.
As someone from Appalachia KY I am loving these videos. Thank you for these. ❤️
He’s so full of depth. Such a smart man truly, just extremely misguided. Wish I could give him a hug.
I live in Northern Ky but I know many people from Clay Co. Every word this young man is saying is truth. He never had a chance. However, I believe he can turn his life around. He needs to get away from there.
Same i live in NKY.
Where you live does not permit bad decisions. Opportunity for good and bad is everywhere. He made a ton of bad decisions aside from seemingly being led astray. I bet he gets a job in the trades and gets his life together.
I absolutely agree ♡
I lived in Covington for 25 years. You're telling the truth.
@@chrisoconnor3119 where you grow up does make a difference. I grew up in Hyde Park Cincinnati. That 45208 zip code was a pass key to all kinds of stuff.
PLEASE GET THAT PASTOR OUT OF THERE! SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!
Seeing these video really lets you know that a huge part of who you become is based on pure luck. We don’t get to pick our parents, our race, our sex, the financial situation we’re born into, the location we born, or the trauma we will or will not endure as a child.
I could listen to him for hours. I wish the best for him
Really enjoyed this episode with Matt! What a well spoken and great young man
I feel for Matt big time. I live in Lexington KY and there is a ton of dog food here too, which is herion for those that dont know. Heroin gets more people than you could imagine, its scary. My heroin addiction led me to suboxone and I have been on suboxone for over 4 years now. Many have a bad view of suboxone but it really does save lives.
Yes it does its saved mine I almost chose the dog food And meth too but suboxone saved me from it I just wish I chosen a different path .. But I think I can, I am gonna do it change my life while I can ..
If it's keeping you clean and safe, keep doing what you're doing!💜
@@jerryroark1793 I know what you mean man. Thinking of the total sum of money i have spent on drugs in my life kills me. At the same time i have learned a lot through addiction and hopefully those lessons will translate elsewhere in life. We as addicts can change our paths as they arent written in stone and even if they were there are always chisels. Choosing subs over herion is choosing a different path in itself. I reckon the key will be to keep choosing the right path at every fork in the road. Its hard though, as i feel stuck myself but i know we have the possibility of making it out of this alive. Godspeed brother.
❤️
💯
If anything happens to this young man for speaking out, outside the county law enforcement should look into those child molesters and those who have enabled these monsters.
If anything happens to this man look at the local police still take him out for talking the truth
That pastor is was mymiddle school teacher he works at North Laurel Middle School in London KY! Dusty Grubb
@kevin leigh he was my teacher aswell... he was my favorite teacher,, He didnt seem like a bad guy... he was the best teacher i ever had and was really nice- i really dont want to believe that he would do this... I really really dont want to...
@kevin leigh it’s not hard to take the word of a drug addict actually
@@BamitsSam4682 at all.
@kevin leigh ohh you’re like truly fucked! sorry didn’t realize otherwise I wouldn’t have engaged
I cant help but like this kid. Another GREAT video Mark!
This is America where we all have the same issues. Love these Thank you Mark.
So sad..he was screwed from birth. He brings the truth and deserves to be heard!!
This kid is by far the most honest & intelligent of this leg of the tour. Gotta good heart.
Mom gave me heroin for my toothache. Wow, that hits hard.
skiing Tacoma. I’m so sorry you had such an abusive parent. Please tell someone u can trust. I pray u can get some help. God bless you dear one.
@@laraoneal7284 they're talking about Matthew in the video not themselves.
There's just no love better ? ... Than that of a mother !...?...!
His Mom gave him the drug... it doesn't mean he has to take it... & that toothache won't go away after one hit... so that puts him at risk to need more of the drug
@@laraoneal7284 im sorry im just now reading this. I personally can only relate to a child trusting a parent. I believe you reached too far on your comment. My MAMA loves me very much.

Ashley Elizabeth yes! A follow up.
I'm from the Appalachian range and this is sooo true. It's sad but I love the interesting stories these brave people share.
I love this series so much ! This one is by far my favorite yet ❤️💜
He’s got so much potential but never had a chance. I hope he can get out.
Those principals were probably supplying that "pastor" with his victims. I am infuriated!!! I have always been distrustful of any grown man, or woman, that seems obsessed with kids!
Thats EXACTLY what I was thinking too! They won't report it a) because they know theyre the lowest, most cowardly excuse for 'human beings' on the face of the earth, and b) they'd end up implicating themselves too, if they did report it. Im sure they're also painfully aware of the fate that awaits them in jail if they do get caught.
The principal (Mr. White) is related to the youth pastor whose name is Dusty Grubb. He is also a teacher at North Laurel Middle School in London, KY.
@@annahleigh3287 makes complete sense! Thanks for the info!!!
Dusty Grubb is my 3rd period teacher and I think I’ll be sick
@@tameschannel1865 wow
I have been following your channel for a while mark and the Appalachian videos have been really hitting home for me lately. I am from right outside of clay county,Kentucky, but recently moved to Baltimore Maryland and it really took me moving here to really realize the type of struggles that Appalachian people face compared to other places and how little it’s talked about. Here everywhere you look here there’s luxury cars,private schools,so much opportunity. Where I am from you are more likely to see a man driving a beat up lawnmower on the highway than you are a Mercedes,and it’s easier to find meth than it is to find a job.When Matthew says it’s a hopeless place he isn’t kidding. The last time I was in clay county was to attend my bestfriends funeral who was 16 at the time and died from a drug overdose. I am 25 years old and I have lost 7 people in my life who were close to me to addiction/drugs. On that list includes my dad,and my aunt. Thankyou for making these videos mark,because the struggles of the Appalachian people isn’t talked about enough.
He’s talking about Dusty Grubb from London KY NLMS 8th grade teacher
This needs attention
Yep thats him he is a sicko man how do you know him
he was my teacher
Yep, he’s still teaching and still a youth pastor I hear.
We appreciate your Appalachian interviews so very much and thank you for interviewing ppl outside of Hollywoods version of Appalachia 👍.
This is, vastly, the way of life in our small towns / rural areas due to zero jobs, rampant availability of drugs and no positive male role models or a combination of the above.
Hopefully one day, you can make it to Mingo County, WV where we are deep in rich history ( called Bloody Mingo ) and full of all walks of life.
Thank you for giving insight to the true Deep Appalachia that seems to have been forgotten.
May God bless you on your endeavors.
Matthew, write a book my friend! About being a small-town business owner, your experience with drug addiction, your town. You are young and bright, I hope you transition off the heroin and back on track. The fire and theft is another pebble on the road of life. I hope you find spirituality outside of the religion that has impoverished much of our country... Take care of yourself. You seem very bright and self-aware.
This man speaks and holds himself 100 times better than the entire Executive Branch of the United States Government. He doesnt stutter. He has terrific syntax. There is no fake in his entire being. Damn.
Bizarre comparison.
There's nothing wrong with stuttering - my son stutters through no fault of his own, and he is a straight A student.
@@nacekozo I have a son that doesn’t stutter at all and he could still out stutter yours!
You nailed it Gregory...let hope Biden , Harris , garland Mc connelly. Etc. Sees your comment.
Nace: you missed the point!
I think of all of these Appalachian stories, this one is my favorite. As odd as that sounds. This young man has sooo much potential. He’s so smart, so articulate and so humble. His life could have been so different, had he had proper guidance and better opportunities.
Somebody get that pastor out of that church and school and away from the kids. God bless this young man. Wishing him the best of luck.
I’m pretty sure the man he’s talking about Is my 8th grade teacher
I live in my near Manchester
My cousin sent me this video saying that it was my teacher
@@themfteabitxh
omgggg!!!!!
Not only get him out but get out the pastor the school principal every person of authority who's been hiding his actions for all these years
Is anybody looking into this youth pastor?????
Yea I’d love to take that youth pastor for a nice drive into the desert
Yeah listening to the youth pastor part of his story had me boiling with anger inside how systems protect those sick bastards I almost feel like driving up there and hunting down and hanging him out in the woods and torturing his ass
I’d love to have him in one of those Appalachian mountains.
I hope so
Yes, I have someone from Manchester who grew up there. He’s forwarding the video with names so it can be investigated. Pressure applied!! All Pedophiles gotta die 🤷🏽♀️
Good hearted and intelligent gentleman...wish him well.
I love this series. Both sides of my family are from Eastern Kentucky. These voices are like coming home
This young man has a very high intelligence quotient. + a survivor. Who among us would have lived to be 30 and still have it together coming from his circumstance? He knows the deal. I wish him well.
Matthew is one of my favorite people Ive seen interviewed. I feel like he’s very well spoken, seems like a good guy.
Ive considered becoming a welder im in the service industry now but ive researched mobile welding setups and deffinatly considered going to a trade school to learn it. Big bucks in welding
@@matthewroberts3279 For sure man! Endless possibilities, it’s all about the connections you make in the field and more practice than you ever think you need. Good luck in any endeavor. Feel free to reach back out if need be!
Just seen Matthew Roberts video. What a wonderful , 'decent', incredibly intelligent guy. There's the everlasting question - are we the way we are 'cos of Nature (genes) or Nurture (life chances). Here is a man who proves that nurture (not nature) has such a big impact. I believe that Matthew Roberts has the brains, the decency and the bloody stregnth to overcome substance use. I am a drugs and alcohol counsellor and University lecturer in Psychology in the U.K. I've met many addicts, even married a recovering addict decades ago, and Matthew, I truly believe that you can choose to become who you'd like to be at any point in your life. Wishing you all the very best. x
