Welcome

Today, at-risk kids need hope more than ever. In America, with a divorce rate at 50 percent and four out of every 10 kids born out of wedlock, child abuse has escalated at an alarming rate.  Children are suffering from this hidden epidemic of abuse and neglect. 

Over 3 million reports of child abuse are made every year in the United States; however, those reports can include multiple children. In 2009 alone, approximately 3.3 million child abuse reports and allegations were made involving an estimated 6 million children. Children who experience child abuse & neglect are 59 percent more likely to be arrested as juveniles.

Let me introduce you to one of the most compelling and effective speakers in our nation to bring hope to hurting troubled youth.  Born to an absent drug dealer and pimp father who didn’t claim him as his own child, Victor Marx was left for dead in a cooler by a child molester at the age of 5  in the deep South. 

By the time he graduated from elementary school, Victor was doing drugs in an effort to escape the emotional pain of his childhood. By the time he graduated from high school, he’d endured abuse from several stepfathers, attended 14 different schools and lived in
17 different houses.

As an adult, he was diagnosed with mental illness and post-traumatic stress disorder. It seemed as if there was no way out. He could have chosen to remain a victim. Instead, he learned what it means to become victorious. And as a motivational speaker, that’s the message he brings to youth of all social and economic status nationwide and to those who are locked away in
youth prisons.
