Having a father as a sex offender and Why does a boy seeing his father get arrested f**k him up

What happens to a boy when the man he looks up to is labelled a sex offender? What kind of damage does it do when a child watches his father get arrested — shamed, handcuffed, and taken away?

In this podcast, I break down the long-term emotional, psychological, and identity wounds that boys carry when their fathers are convicted of sex offences. This isn’t just about crime — it’s about shame, silence, confusion around masculinity, and the deep fear of becoming "just like him."

We’ll explore: The guilt and shame children carry (even when they’ve done nothing wrong)

Why watching a father’s arrest is more than just a memory — it’s a turning point How this experience affects boys’ views on sex, trust, authority, and themselves

The silent suffering most people never see

Whether you’re a professional, a parent, or someone who’s lived this reality, this video opens up the hard conversation most people avoid.
