Your a strong man for doing this vid!
I'm sorry to hear your story Larry. It's sad to think of all the children that have experienced a circumstance like yours and it's really depressing. I don't know where you're at in religion due to your experience but I'm still praying and hoping to be a part of the change and take action to prevent kids from being abused like that including by a figure with a religious authority.
Correctional officer here: hope all goes well for you mate. Tough subject to cover. I can’t agree with you on everything per say, but I hope to God that the rest of your life is better, cleaner and safer then the first parts.
I'm surprised you weren't tempted to harm this pos when you got older , I've never been in your position but it's just what I think I would do.
:)
This must've been really hard for you to go back there Larry. Nothing but respect to you Brother.
Wasn’t easy. But I’m glad it might be able to help someone else watching this
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief I'm sure it will, you have a big audience who really respect you and learn from you!
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief you said it Larry. It wasn't easy to watch either to be honest with you. Much respect from my heart and head.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief lerry I love u
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief It did, Thank you
My boyfriend was molested when he was 7 by a family member and charges were dropped against the offender. Thank you for talking about male sexual abuse, it’s ignored far too often.
Samuel Thomas what do you mean?
I agree, male sexual abuse is ignored often.
Lol no it isn't the fk
@@sneakybeaver1049 bro??? yea it is
@@sneakybeaver1049 It really is.
It takes a big man to talk about this stuff. Much respect.
Larry, you are a awesome man. This made me tear up.
I think this is really important for people to hear.
BIG FACTS
Louie farakhan
And especially to go back and look at the location again. Larry’s a boss
I didn't know you were 60 years old. You look great for your age.
He really really does ❕
Doesnt look a day over 46
Daaaaaamn I though he was about 40
@@HirstMovies same
Jeez ikr
“So who Tf am I gonna call a Priest father who Tf is he, he’s just a f*cking man that puts his pants on”
my bad for laughing but you a real one for that Larry respect
I was 3 when I was introduced to a priest, & remember thinking the same damn thing. Probably because my dad always said that about everyone.
As a Bible believing Christian, I agree completely! Good for Larry facing the crap from life! This makes one stronger.
That shit was real af
I never saw or heard Larry curse so much but it was beautiful to see this video where he let's it out and then backs it up with solid Bible quotes! Much respect for Larry too Boss Man.
i cant understand how can people still believe in churches and god. when so many people got abused and so many people ABUSE cuz of religion
I’m sorry that happened to you. I was molested at a very young age by someone whom I didn’t trust. It has to be way worse whenever it’s by someone, not only you, but everyone else trust.
The amount of life lessons and knoledge I have gained from this man is astounding.
Man, it takes some serious balls to talk about this stuff on youtube. Mad respect 🙌
Larry often says that his time in prison made him lose some of his dignity. So he's more open to discussing it
He good guy, he strong, his name is larry
I was molested as a boy of about 5 by a female relative of about 16. I understand how she was probably a victim herself, but I don't quite understand how it affected me up to now as a 40yo to this day. I've only told a couple people but I could never tell my parents, especially my mother.
Sorry this happened to you larry, thank you for staying strong and speaking out about this.
Absolutely! If it can help just one person, that’s amazing
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief Larry you are the man. My father was sexually abused as a kid, by some one in the family. It was never talked about and it really messed with him. The fact that you can talk about this shows you have come a long way in life. Keep on keepin on!!!
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief And it'll mean the world to that one person. Much respect for doing this.
I love how versatile Larry is. He’s such a good guy. Even though he went to prison in my mind he is not a convict he is just a normal person.
Larry, you are such a great role model. The bravery it takes to come out and talk about this. Everyone appreciates you sharing your experiences so we can share and learn and discuss. Thank you.
Man, I felt this one. As an ex-Catholic from Boston/New England area I know full well the shit storm this was. And the fact they basically walked away with slaps on the wrist ticks me off to this day. When Notre-Dame caught fire my first thought was divine punishment and I don't even believe in such things.
Hey Larry thanks for sharing this with us it takes balls to do this and not all of us has what it takes. Thank you for being there for all of us Larry.
Thank you. I appreciate it
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief Do you recommend the USCG fir a career?
I've been back to the places of my own abuse as well, and the feeling is not easy, so major props to you to not only discuss it openly, but to discuss it in a traumatic place for you.
I have an immense amount of respect for you Larry. I dealt with my own situation as a kid and it takes a big man to face it head on. Big supporter and fan here. Keep knocking doors down .
Big respect to you Larry. Thank you for sharing your story my man.
That takes a lot of courage. You not only turned your whole life around, but also face your nightmares from the past. You are a whole new human now Larry.
You’re a tough guy, Larry. Thanks for sharing this part of your story. Mad respect.
I respect Larry for always being 100% honest at all times, he is a great man!
I understand how you feel Larry because honestly if I ever saw my father again I don't know what I would do I don't know if I would lose control of myself and just black out and attack him or what I would do man I hope I never find myself in that situation my father is a chomo I don't ever want him near me people have said to me ya well he did 15 years for his crime do you think he paid for it and my response is he will never fully pay for it ya he did his 15 years but he will be judged for the rest of his life and in the next
.
I feel ya'
We just found out a certain sun nuva beach, in our circle is only getting 3 years.
THREE YEARS !!!
For what he did to TWO seperate kids.
That's just 1.5 years per victim.
The system is so broken and the parents and children are left to cobble together the pieces.
.
God help you,I an a father too and I cannot comprehend how someone could do this...
@Barry Wood
(I know you're addressing Kaos)
Sorry to say, but I'm just a man. At the moment, forgiveness escapes me.
@Barry Wood talking about jesus with that sort of profile pic🤔🤔🤔
@Barry Wood He served his sentence, but the victims serve a life sentence. I feel so bad for victims of this type of abuse.
I have nothing but respect for this man. What he has been through is horrible and the fact he is still able to face where it happened is possibly one of the strongest things i have ever seen. Mad respect.
I had a similar experience when I was a kid. Your video made me open up and talk to somone about it. Thank you
Your a good man Larry all of us can make mistakes in life but never let that bring you down
Your calling it a mistake?
@@imgonnastopyourightthere5924 no I’m talking about me this has nothing to do with him I watch his videos cause they make me happy when I’m down

"The word reverend means to hold in awe and fear. I don't hold any man in awe and fear. Any man. They're just a man." - Larry Lawton
Thanks for opening up larry you are one brave person please keep on being real bro
Always.
Thank you for sharing your story Larry. Through your strength in telling this you will help so many that need it. Thank you man stay strong!
How could you not LOVE Larry bro... Hate you went through this , I hope that man went through worse.
You’ve been through some serious hell all your life. I can’t say how inspiring it is to see you rise above your past and try to change the lives of others for the better.
I’m so sorry that happened to you, Larry. Love and prayers from Long Island, NY.
Thank you for this video, Larry.
No easy task, you’re a stand up guy Larry! Thanks for being vulnerable, I’m sure many viewers will take good away from this video.
A big hug for you Larry, you didn't have to do this video but I appreciate the unimaginable effort and bravery it must've taken to go through with it. Your content is amazing. Thanks Larry !
It takes people alot of strength to talk about these experiences. Tons of respect for you, larry. Hope you're having a good day.
incredibly brave of you to make this video. it isn't easy to face our traumas, especially when they've been simmering for so long.
Mad Respect though for letting the audience in, it's gonna help lots of people man
It’s sad that the people we trust with our faith often abuse us. Unfortunate
Thank you for sharing Larry. I truly hope that you received healing from sharing your unfortunate experience. I admire you for not hating or slamming a whole religion or it's following. Again Larry thank you for sharing💯 💌
Much respect for you doing this.
Incredible video. I appreciate it a lot that you can talk openly about such painful memories. Thank you!
Fortunately Pope Francis put a stop to the Catholic secrecy rule that protected a lot of these monsters. The same thing went on in our church and there was nothing you could do about it. What I've learned at my high school reunions about priests and the pain they have caused is absolutely shocking.
Are you serious? Nothing has changed. The Catholic church will protect it's priests, valuable property and religious doctrine by any means possible. It's morally bankrupt. I would suggest any victim of abuse hire an attorney and join a survivor support group.
@@peterlyons8793 Quite a bit has changed actually. For example Cardinal Theodore McCarrick was laicized from the church in 2019. Perhaps some of the 1.4 billion Catholics out there will soon start to see the light...
I was raised in an Irish Catholic family of twelve siblings. We attended parochial schools and were active members of St. John's RCC. This was in the 1960's and 70's. In 2018 it was discovered that the Diocese of Buffalo had kept secret files of abusive clergy for decades. The Buffalo Evening News and plaintiffs attorneys published these allegations. The files were stolen from the chancellor's office by an employee, S. O'Connor. The numerous abuse survivors now had proof to sue the various Church entities. Bishop Richard Malone was forced to resign and the diocese declared bankruptcy. This is the reason why parishioners have stopped attending Mass and/or financially supporting the church's ministries.
This still happens all the time.
I have so much respect for you Larry. Thank you for sharing this will all of us. Much love and respect to you
For someone to have been through what you have you are such a good person
Thank you for sharing Larry❤ much love and respect to you
It’s not just about them not getting laid. My religious leader was married and did something similar to me, my brother, and my friends. I’m proud of you for making the video, I found that talking about it helped me process the trauma. It was hard, but worth it. (I did tiktoks though. Lol.) also, getting the stories out helps others realize they can talk too. Thanks.
I can’t imagine how extraordinarily difficult for you to even talk about your experience let alone go back there. Nothing but respect it takes a real man to even talk about it
I’m sorry you went through that big man. You’re a big inspiration in my life. Thank you for having the heart to share your stories
Larry I appreciate you being so open about this kind of stuff. People do tend to not speak up about situations like this. They tend to hide the fact that it ever happened. I’m seriously glad you made this video, hopefully it’ll motivates some people to seek for help. Hope you have a great day man.
Thanks for posting this, Larry. It's a testament to how strong you've become. Stay safe, stay healthy!
Baring your soul like this takes a lot of courage. For anyone who's suffered this perversion, your video could surely help them.
Love the video, Larry. I was sexually assaulted by my step sister for about 8 years, so I fully understand why you're so shaken about what happened to you. Keep up the good content!
Thank you Larry, so much. You have the courage to share your medicine with the world despite how painful it is. Thank you so fucking much.
Amazing, so brave of you to talk about this stuff. As Russell Brand says, the real 'gateway' drugs aren't pot or booze but abuse, neglect and trauma. No wonder there are so many troubled people with addictions and behavioural issues because they have to subjugate this as children. Thanks for speaking out.
Damn dude, you've got strength to confront this place and the horrible shit that happened there.
No one should be afraid to speak out. And please, everyone, listen to those coming forward; and take it to the authorities ASAP.
I've never faced abuse, thankfully; but I want to be there for those who are. I hope I never have to but I hope I can be one to lean on if that ever should be the case.
Thank you for sharing Larry. I imagine that it can't be any easier talking about it today after all these years. A real tough man is willing to open up and be vulnerable like this
It’s crazy how I’ve never met Mr Larry in my life but I have respect for him like u wouldn’t believe and it takes some serious balls to not only open up about this but open up to thousands of strangers😳🤝
I was sexually abused at 4 years old by my grandfather. I couldn't tell anyone because I was threatened. Its confusing, uncomfortable, and scary. And as a kid you don't know what's happening.
You didn't deserve to go through that. No one does. It takes balls to talk about this so publicly. Kudos to you for being so brave
I found this channel on episode 1: chapter 1 of the read aloud. I myself have been victim to abuse, and hearing how you speak about it and seeing you handle your fear is inspiring. I am thankful you have come out the other side and spread radiating positivity, Larry. Thank you
Nothing but respect for Larry I cannot even imagine how difficult this was
Thanks for putting yourself out there and reaching out to try to remind people that they are not alone. I have a lot of respect and love for your work Larry.
Larry you went through so much shit man but you found your way. Very strong man.
You are the most real and open person on the internet. I really respect you for sharing this Larry.
Takes a grown man to go to a place of pure hell and trauma and talk about it. I wasn't molested by a figure of religion but I was with a older guy who was my "boss" at age 13. I pulled a knife on him for it and it unfortunately landed me behind bars as a juvenile. Still to this day I can't drive past his house without hoping to one day watch it burn to the ground. You have some big kahunas man.
I never knew this Larry and I am so sorry that this happened to you. You are such a good person and so strong to be able to rise through it and everything else you’ve been through to help others. God bless you Larry.
First video I think I've ever seen with no dislikes after one day. Much respect for talking about this, takes a big man to do it, must've been hard.
Thanks for doing this Larry .Seriously mate you’re helping people with this .
I really appreciate it.
"He ain't father to me" I just wanted to let yk this made me smile and made my day better... God bless you larry
So much respect for you. Truly one of if not the best channels online.
I have so much respect for Larry making this video, this video must be incredibly hard and the fact he was able to make such a great video, nothing but respect larry
The same thing happened to me by a vicar at church camp. Made me throw my faith away.
Your honesty is refreshing!
Larry you are giving us your experiences no matter how hard they were i thank you for sharing them with us
I commend you for having the courage to address this!! I was married for 20 years and my husband was molested as a child. He was troubled as a youth and has questioned his sexuality his whole life. I finally divorced him 12 years ago after he cheated on me multiple times and refused to stop or be honest with me. I thought I wasn't good enough, but after all these years I have come to understand that he has to pursue women to reinforce that he is not gay. He has never been faithful to any of the women.
Shame on you for sharing his trauma here.
That was uncalled for.
It's gotta be sick to have that as your first sexual experience and that mental association. It's especially sick for predators to pretend to be a holy person
I feel incredibly sorry for all the shit you went through in your early years, plus all the abuse and hardship you experienced in prison. Much love from Boston!
This one must have been very hard for you larry. Very brave of you to talk about it.
Love how open Larry is on his channel.
Glad you don't let terrible things ruin your life forever.
Your strength is so inspiring Larry. Hope you gained something good from returning to the church. You’re a true inspiration for the things you’ve overcome.
Hit the nail on the head with this entire video
I'm just some random viewer Larry, but wow I'm proud of you for letting us see this stuff! Thank you
I was an altar boy for 6 years. Luckily, the priests I was around were very nice and did not do anything bad. Sorry for what you had to go through. I can not imagine what it must have been like. I am no longer a catholic, or I guess nothing really. I have studied the bible and other religious books extensively. I have found most religions do not follow their holy books. That is why I do not practice any religion.
Or maybe they didn’t find you attractive 😩
Larry you are a living legend !! much respect. you're def built different cause not many people have the mental power to overcome things like this ! A piece of American history
Damn Larrry, much respect. This could help a lot of young people in the situation you were in.
Larry I love you and I’m so sorry this happened
THAT LAST TEXT LOTA TYPO DIDN'T MAKE SENSE MY DEAL MAKES CENT$
Thank you for your vulnerability Larry. Your story is going to help so many people. You are loved and deserving of the upmost respect.
Realest video I’ve seen in a long time. You will help so many victims by speaking about this. Much respect Larry!
Larry, I appreciate your story & I’m glad you have been able to talk about it & recover from it. I went through the same abuse as a little kid & never told anyone Until my best friend shared his experiences. It felt good to get it off my chest. Thank you for being a positive influence & for all you do
Larry thank you for sharing personal tragedies you are definitely helping people please keep up the good work
I can't imagine how you feel going back there stay strong brother
Larry watch your videos every 1.
Ive done alot of jail and i got abused when i was a kid. Im 40 now and been out of jail 4 6years now.
Keep up the great work
Nothing but Respect for you Larry.
Thanks for sharing. Your a bigger person for that AND your reaching a lot of people with your channel. Huge fan here!
Larry, i have the HEIGHT OF RESPECT for you. You are a brave & beautiful person...
Thank you for talking about this and being courageous. More men need to speak up about being abused to break the stigma. When you speak up and nobody can relate or when you hold it inside it can drive you crazy with anger and sadness. I appreciate this man.
Wow a lot of courage into sharing this! Much respect.
Brave man to talk about that. Nothing but respect mustve been hard to bring up bad memories.
Larry i’m proud of you for sharing this story and as someone who has had something like that happen to me, I appreciate you. This is one of the many reasons why I hate catholicism even being a christian. Thanks for sharing!
That was a very strong and cathartic video! What an inspiration you are Sir
