#108 Jason Breska will be the first person to admit that he grew up in a very rough environment. He grew up in unimaginable poverty often roaming the streets of Brooklyn as a young boy. As he tells it, you either became part of a gang or you found a way out through sports. Jason's first choice was to get involved with sports. In his neighborhood there was a place called Shorefront that had a gymnasium where the local kids all congregated to play basketball. One of the employees of Shorefront used to leave the side door open for kids that didn't have the money to pay to use the facility. Outside looking in, this person was helping the less fortunate kids in the neighborhood. However, there was something far more sinister at play and this "helpful benefactor" was actually farming kids to feed to a local predator. In the neighborhood, he was known by the kids as the Boogieman of Brighton Beach. He was a child predator... Please join Shawn and Jen as they sit down to talk with Jason Breska about his experience with the Boogieman of Brighton Beach. Jason is now on a mission to hold those responsible for the evil that was perpetrated upon him accountable! In this riveting episode of the Hope Radio Podcast, you will hear first hand what happened to Jason and how he is fighting to make sure that nothing like what happened to him ever happens again.
