[Bewitchingstorm]

This is a WTF story if I ever saw one.

I'm sure they're casting the Original Lifetime Movie as we type.
He's back with his mom "by choice"
I give up. She hasn't been charged

Ok so me and RBW quoted articles from the activist dude, but this is what is being said

Despite reports from an activist indicating the young man being harmed in the intervening years, detectives said Farias made no statements alleging abuse

They're saying he was injured on the day he was "found" because he crashed the car running away from his abusive mom.

Why do I feel like this is some sort of money grab? I mean, each day the story gets even more bizarre.

Thats the only motive I can think of for the mother to do this. Nothing else makes sense.

Rudy has given an interview...full story here: https://www.newsweek.com/rudy-farias...-years-1812369

He said that although he could have left over the years, he felt manipulated into staying.

"It's like I lived in a prison. It's like I lived in a jail my whole [expletive] life. I just wanted to be free," he said. "It felt like Stockholm Syndrome honestly, just held against my will mentally, not physically."

"She never locked me in or you know handcuffed me or anything like that. I had free will to leave... it just felt like brainwashing honestly, it just kept confusing me just the way, you know, she would manipulate me into staying like, 'Oh, you're gonna get arrested because you have a speeding ticket or something.'"

He denied that his mother had sexually abused him, but said she pushed boundaries and made him uncomfortable.

"She didn't force herself on me or anything like that... It would never be anything like that. Just stuff that really made me uncomfortable," he said.

"I used to have to sleep in her bed sometimes... just boundaries she would push or make me uncomfortable, and I would say 'Stop,' and she's like, 'Why? Why? Why? What did I do? I didn't do anything wrong.'"

He described how he had to hide when people came to visit.

"Somebody would come over, my mom would just tell me to stay in the room, keep the door locked, don't let them in [and] don't make any sounds. Don't do anything,'" he said.

He did that even when family members came over, he said.

"I would just have to listen to my family be happy and cheerful on the other side of the [expletive] door," he said. "I wanted to scream for them, but at the same time I just couldn't because the only person I could trust was my mom. She told me so many things about my other family that I didn't know and I wasn't able to verify."

When asked if he felt his mother had taken advantage of him, Farias said: "Heavily."

And asked if they have a normal mother-son relationship, he said: "Not after all of that. Not after everything she did and to be honest, I don't want one with her."

Now that he is away from his mother, Farias said he feels relief and "at peace."

In a message to his mother, he said: "Just leave me alone. Just let me live my life. I just want to be happy and I'm happy now and I'm working on it."

Mom is a complete dick.

Also, someone needs therapy and I sincerely hope that he's getting it:

Exactly. He sounds like a very intelligent young man. I hope he finds peace.

This is just so bizarre. He went from doing EVERYTHING she said, including not seeing family and staying hidden. Then all of a sudden, he's wanting nothing to do with her. What happened?? It's almost like one specific thing happened and he just snapped out of it? So odd.
