You Failed Me: A Journey of neglect, abuse, and the failures of social safety nets
John lives with his wife in Rochester, NY. He is a successful businessman who owns over 20 car dealerships and employs over 1,400 people.
John took the experiences of his life as a neglected, abused child and used them to become a strong, caring, and compassionate adult. John’s journey further questions whether Nature or Nurture is the predominant force in our growth from child to adult.
You Failed Me offers readers a candid look into the life of a child who was failed by the people who should have protected him from the evil lurking in the shadows of his life. This book provides readers with a raw look at poverty, abuse, and neglect while also bringing to light the failures in the social systems that are intended to protect the vulnerable in our society.
John’s story challenges the nature-versus-nurture argument in its entirety.
Despite being failed by many, John also shares the impact others had in helping him navigate his childhood and how that support helped him become who he is today.
This is a must-read for anyone who has the opportunity to impact a child’s life as a concerned family member, educator, social worker, or first responder.
