Ed Squire is a part of that statistic. As a survivor, the abuse destroyed the majority of his life. In this interview, Ed opens up about the sexual abuse he suffered as a child and how it was affecting him as an adult. Wanting to raise awareness about childhood sexual abuse and mental illness, he started a nonprofit called MeTooWhatNow. By being mainstream and contemporary in his approach, he developed a niche for creating videos and documentaries, one of which is about the public lawsuit he filed against one of his abusers who was his elementary school teacher and the school board that employed him. Learn how Ed is doing today and the number one thing that he attributes to his recovery to.
