Hi Joe,
I have just finished reading your book and I am in awe of your spirit throughout the text. You are an inspiration and someone who I look up to for your brave heroic character. It is peole like you who make a difference and and you will always win over the evil that penetrates our society. what a hero..

Hi Joe, I have just finished reading your book, once i started reading it I couldn't put it down! you told your story well and i just wanted to say I'm deeply sorry for what happened to you in your young life and what an inspiration you are for who you are today!

Best Wishes, Take Care

Hi Joe, I realise you receive lots emails from people who have read Cry Silent Tears. I picked up your book during my lunchhour and have just finished reading it.

I just wanted to say your book has made me feel angry, disgusted with the "bastard people" of this world (sorry for swearing) and the pure evil that happens in this god foresaking world.

i have a 10 year old daughter and the thought of her enduring all you did is just unbelievable but the fact that you did actualy endure all those things is just heartbreaking.

So glad you have found happiness with your family. I wish you all a long and happy life.

Warm regards

Sharon

I have just finished reading your book. What can i say you are truly a brave man to have written this book and shared it with the world, having to look back at your horrific past. I could'nt wait to turn the next page wishing you got away from it all right from when it started. I had to stop reading and keep getting tissue as i had so many tears in my eyes. Its been like 2 days since ive read your book and i cant get it out of my head, knowing that this type of abuse is going round all over the world. How can a mother treat someone they brought into this world like that, they should protect them in every way as possible. I cant belive that no one believed you and did'nt help. I was nearlly jumping for joy when you had finally got away at set out for your new life away from that horrible life you had. Im so glad you have finally got what you deserved, a loving wife and wonderful children i wish you and your family all the best in the future and cant wait for your next book.

p.s your father would be so proud

I have just finished your book and must congratulate you on being able, after having been through the hellish life you have and re-living it whilst writing it. You are one strong and determined character who, somehow, has managed to pull through such evilness. I am a mother and cannot comprehend how your mother could do or allow others to do what they did to you. It sickens me further, that she and all the other abusers have managed to get away with their acts. They should have been brought to justice and made to suffer for what they have done. How many more people have suffered at their hands. It angers me to the core. As you say in your book, no child acts in the ways you did for no apparent reason. Social services, the police, the education department etc should all feel equally as guilty for the way you were neglected. It has certainly made me think twice before passing judgement on an unruly child in the street - what lays behind that behaviour. I sincerely hope that you are living a happy life now with your family and they are taking good care of you. Well done for being courageous enough to write your book. You will remain in my memory for a long time.

hi, this is my second entry, got loads to say on this book lol, 1st off id like to get your mother in a room on her own for half hour and literally beat the life out of her, then id like to give your two sicko brothers a good bashing, yet i think they need help themselves as they was only doing what they thought was normal i suppose. As much as i enjoyed the book (although i think enjoyed might be the wrong word) im not sure if i can read another of this nature as i spent all night tossing and turning thinkign about that scared little 5 year old that you must have been. You have had all your childhood ripped away from you i just hope you dont let that evil cow ruin your adulthood aswell. I must say though without police intervention that peodophile ring is probably still continuing. XX

hello joe, I have just finished reading your book and was compelled to visit your website.
I can't imagine how anyone can experience all that abuse and how that must feel. I truely think the way you have conquered your demons and turned all those bad experiences into something as positive as this website is remarkable.
I was abused by my birth father when I was 4, there wasn't enough 'evidence' to prosecute however, other than a thouroughly damaged, withdrawn child who's hair wouldn't grow!! it still hurts so much to this day and I am still to untangle the web of shit and destruction to make sense of it all!
The abuse I experienced was not anything in comparison with what you had to deal with.
Despite what happened to me I have gone on to buy a house, travel India, study at uni and best of all have a beautiful daughter who I will love and protect untill the day I die!
Anyway I just wanted you to know that I think you are an amazing man with massive courage and determination, all the people that made your life hell will all pay in some way or another and although this isn't anywhere near enough. I hate your mom as much as i hate everyother pedophile, sick asshole!
Ok, great read, can't wait 4 the next book! Well done you have done your Dad proud!! WELL DONE BABE!

You know its funny, because i hate the thought of child abuse in any form yet i find myself addicted to these sort of books. I have only read the 1st chapter of cry silent tears and already my gut churns and i want to scoop up my own children and tell them how much i love them. How do you go through an ordeal like that and come out a decent human being? We can all blame the upbringing when it comes to children, blaming their bad behaviour on the way they was brought up well your proof that isnt the case. I will continue to read the book no doubt shedding a few tears along the way. Your a role model to society, and an inspiration to all children who unfortunately are going through the same ordeal as you.
