Scott's life reads like a novel...and not the Disney fairy tale kind of story. At a young age Scott learned just how cold the world can be when he and his younger brother were abducted by their mother. She fled the country with them and they were made to live like fugitives, using fake names and running from city to city. It culminated in Texas during a dramatic standoff with law enforcement and then took another turn as a legal battle ensued that captured the attention of the entire nation.
They say true life is stranger than fiction & Scott's life is a testament to this. From his mother hiring a hitman to kill his father to burning their house down, these are the sorts of things no child should ever experience.
What's probably most incredible is just how much Scott has grown through all of this. What would easily bury most in a life of escapism and despair, Scott has met his trauma head on and worked tirelessly to grow and use these things to become a better version of himself. He serves the community through a variety of channels, raising awareness about crimes against children and educating parents how to protect their kids.
This is the story of Scott's journey from survivor to thriver and how he's taken absolutely terrible circumstances and used them to grow in ways most would never think possible.
