I was told that my father Samuel Lopez Sr used to try to hit me as a toddler. This happened when my father and mother got into arguments and my mother and my father would also hit my mother in these arguments. After that I had a speech impediment at the age of four that lasted one and half years then i went to Pre-K.

After all that happened my parents finally splits up. And my household was switched from parent to parent, because they could not keep a consistent household. After CPS found this they were not pleasant with all of this. Later on they ended up taking me to a group home called the children' s home.

Two years later i was then put into foster care and stayed with my old guardians Shaniqua and Raynard Shorter. After i left both of my parents I completely changed from one Sam to a whole other Sam. I was a good kid once upon time but after I got taken away from CPS I grew hatred and acted out. And when I acted out I used to throw chairs at teachers in school and get into fights a lot at school. Then my foster parents called my father and told him to hurry up cause they could no longer take care of me.

After my father was done with his programs to take me back home, I went with him. Then I later finally got physically abused a lot pretty much everyday because whenever he did not smoke marijuana. He would hit me if I looked at him wrong he would beat me like a grown man, if I talked to loud he would hit me. Which I ended having many mental disorders like PTSD, OCD, Bipolar Disorder and ADHD. And with anxiety and depression I would wish I would never wake up sometimes.
