It is shocking that you had to be treated that way and lost so many peoples trust. I am 12 years old and when I grow up I want to help kids like you were. No one should have been treated the way you were treated. I am glad that you eventually had a happy ending and that you now have kids of your own. I also find it amazing that you now help kids today. You are my role model and I hope that you get this message. Thanks very much Jamie Joe Peters,

Born in Africa i never heard such of those stories, every think I know is the parent who protect their childre not like joe's mum, she is a evel and she will pay here in htis ward later. I was crying especialy when I look my 5 years old boy who look same years lake joe when he was 5. I steel not understand about this story, it make me stress and when I explain this story to my children they was very sad and my 5 year old boy was crying all day and i am scary to tell them such nasty story like this because they do not the meaning of word abuse.When I stated to read the book I was not able to talk to any body at home even doing my exam work and I insisted my husband to read it and took whith him because he is traveled to Africa .one question I ask Joe why you did not contact your aunt Melisa and tell her what was going on or your your dad's girlfreind who was care for you more then your mum? thank you very much joe God bless you and your lovely family I am a mother of five like Joe father of five, when I read the book make me tears.

I'm a victim of child abuse, although my case wasn't so horrible as Joe's. An assault could be awful anyway. I've known about the attack against me for 8 years (i'm 42 now) I hadn't had any memory earlier but I had a terrible migraine since my age of 15. When my memories came up my headaches are disappered after 20 years. They were confirmed by my sister who's always remembered everything but never dare to spoke about them. Unfortunately, we found out that our mother could be involved some way, although she's always seemed a hard-working Mum for us. After I told her what happened, she declared me as a devil's child. I found Joe's book very couraging because I'm still struggling hard feelings, worries I won't be able to trust in a man ever so I can't live in a good relationship what I miss. Joe's story showed me that it's possible. I would like to know something about what happened with Joe after he went to London and how he is able to manage with this dark past. I think, it's a relief to read positive stories about people who survived such a big trauma. I'm lookihg forward the second book. I’ve just finished reading this book it proved stiring to me.

Your one of most amazing people i've read about, you have a strength that many people admire and you are a good soul. I hope to god that others that can help you, just as much as you are raching out to helps others. One thing that has made me so shocked is that you don't realise why children can't get help, especaily where there's lies and false impressions in the way of the truth. Adults should be there to protect children. I'm so glad that you have a beautiful wife and five children. You proved them all wrong. Well done Joe xx Definately read anything written by your good self. Once I started to read your story, i couldn’t put your book down.

It was very shoking and upsetting. I have various friends that have been abused as children and it does affect them for the rest of their lives, I think what Joe is a great guy to turn all this negativity into something positive. Evil is not combated with evil, goodness is a lot more powerful, you are helping a lot of people just by making them aware, children are not bad just for no reason and I think like you said, Social Services people should try harder to see that the persons helping them are checking they are doing the job right to help. But little steps take us far, thank you for doing what you do. God Bless you always I got this book out from the library. It was very shoking and upsetting.
