Carol Sarler is either a very sick or a very evil woman. She is as bad as the abusers. I hope she rots in hell!

I have three questions for you Carol Sarler:
1)Have you ever experienced child abuse yourself? 2) For that matter, porn?
If not, how could you possibly know anything about either one? My cousin was abused by her father-I know I was a little girl at that time, but I saw something I wasn’t suppose to see and it scared me. I can’t even imagine putting myself in Joe’s place, I don’t think I would have survived - would you have? My sisters and brother were fortunate to have loving parents who loved us very much. Wondered if you have any kids of your own or are you incapable of love, compassion or just plain feelings for anything/anyone? If you don’t then I feel sorry for you, you just don’t know what you’re missing. The difference between you and Joe is that Joe has gone thru so much and instead of having all that hatred bottled up inside of him – he has put it to good use by helping others that are in the same situation he once was in! This guy has a right to write about it, especially if the system failed him!!! He’s giving this world much, much more then what this world has given to him all his life! What have you contributed???

The only person who truly loved him was his father – and no matter what his mom or brothers did or said to him – it’s probably the only thing they couldn’t take away from him, that ounce of love which stayed in his heart forever. What he said about his father in his book was out of anger for the situation he was in, but the love his father had for his son, might have been the very thing that gave Joe the strength to survive - it might have been the only thing Joe held on to all these years without realizing it!

I read the book and gave it to someone else to read - I thought it was beautifully written – Joe THANKS for sharing that with the world – Maria!

This Bitch needs a sock in her mouth. No child deserved to feel pain what is she on about she just talks too much rubbish. She does not have a heart for the little one’s well at least we both agree she is a BITCH! Your book opened up peopl’s eyes to the cruel world around us not only did you make us want to fight for children you also made us relize how special and precious they are and we need to save them before its too late.

Hi,

I have just finished your book ‘Cry myself to sleep’. I have read both your books and have been inspired by both your fight to survive and also your courage to keep trying till it goes right for you.

This stupid cow Carol has probably never been ‘forced’ to do anything she does want to do and Mummy and Daddy have probably provided everything for her.

Well I have been ‘forced’ and believe me it’s not nice, but my experience was no where near as bad as what I have read about and I applaud you and everyone who has spoken up. I have never been able to, and probably never would be able to speak up. She needs to get a grip and step into the real world.

Ignorant bitch.

Keep up your hard work, it is appreciated by many.

Hi Joe,I have just finished reading your book . Cry Silent Tears.I am so touched by your courage and determination to survive such horrifics circumstances that you have come through.I admire you for all you are and what you have achieved.I was sickened by it all . I understand what you are saying to all the people in the world and i do hope they take heed.I don’t care foR the social services or most organised groups , as i have seen and experienced a lot of what they are about . Carol syler wants kicking into touch as there are so many like her who put children into danger rather than saving them .My sister experienced six terrible years fighting for custody of her two grandchildren and was constantly put through torture through the social services as too was my youngest son . His heart was broken when they dragged his three children from him while at school , through no fault of his own . He was with a girl who already had three children and they had three more togetheir . She was involved with peaodofiles and lesbians and gay people in turn allowing them to abuse her three eldest children , who were also taken into care .With the good strength and love , he finally won his three children back and has raised them on his own ever since . Im talking about 8 years or so now .The other children were awarded a lot of money but returned to the mothers clutches when they were old enough to make their own dicisions and she is now a grandmother . her youngest of the first three still being in care . He is a disruptive child and vowed never to return to her . She married a man in a wheelchair who has only one leg for reasons of her own and also helped her two older children spend the money they had been awarded.. The man who was at the top of the abusers was sent to prison .Seems to me that the abusers always win . Not fair on ordinary decent folk .Please reply, if you are well enough to do so . I would love to hear from you .It is a brave person who can reveal to the world the things that you have endured . Kindest Regard s Ann ..

I hope she has the misfortune to suffer at the hands of an abuser and i don’t say that lightly. she needs to realise that the writing of books such as cry myself to sleep help others that are suffering to see they are not alone.

I’ve just finished trying to read Cry Silent Tears. I’m sorry Joe I got half way through and couldn’t go any further as it was making me physically sick, I did however skip to the end to find you had survived and had a beautiful family. My heart truely goes out to you and anyone else that has been hurt in this way. Its hard to believe that in such an educated world monsters like these are still able to get away with this kind of torture and abuse. Thank you Joe for opening our eyes to this, you are such a strong man to open your heart in this way.

Hi Joe, I’ve just read your book and found it a very difficult, heartbreaking one to read. As soon as I finished it and saw your web address and email, I just knew I had to contact you. I am so happy to know that you’ve married your soulmate and have 5 children of your own. I’ve married mine and have 4 wonderful children. Since reading your book I have learnt to leave the housework to listen and watch the children. I have been late for appointments because one of them is feeling worried about something and needs reassuring. Children need to be so cared for in order to know how to care for others. You are amazing and truly inspirational. I send you love and hope you are getting better. xxxxxx
