Dustin’s Story

Dustin’s mother left when he was a mere toddler—barely 2-years old. This was due in part to physical abuse caused by his father, not to mention the affair she was having behind his back. She moved cross-country—over two thousand miles away—without her children, to start a new life with her boyfriend. 

When Dustin was four, his father beat a man to death right in front of him. He was not traumatized by this because it was just another typical day in the Roper household. A year earlier, Dustin’s 5-year old sister, Tenille, became his adopted mother, as they were left to fend for themselves in their trailer-park home with their dad—a criminal, dangerous gang member, and drug addict.continue reading
