You send your children to school to get an education, not to get sexually assaulted because their teachers aren't watching them. You expect that if something like that was to happen, that authorities would show an ounce of care. This is what Alvin High School and Alvin ISD did to a girl with special needs.

Jess Reilly has been fighting for years to get justice for her brother, Josh Pacheco who was shot to death. The circumstances surrounding his death and the people involved are alarming, and made more so by the fact that Josh recorded audio of his murder. Due to connections in government, no one has been convicted of his murder. You can follow Jess on tiktok @justice.for.joshua.

I had the privilege and honor of listening to Joshua R. Garcia's story as told through his sister Nora who has been fighting for justice for her brother Joshua for several years now. You can follow her journey on Tiktok @justice4jrg and @justice4jrg.2. This was the first time I used my gift as a psychic medium while recording the podcast. It's safe to say that he came through.

Here's Part 2 of my interview with Pepper Fox, the mother of Jason Fox, who was murdered in a small town in Washington state simply for existing as an openly gay man.  Pepper has fought for justice for him for a year and a half and couldn't get help from anyone in the media until she took to Tiktok begging for help and went viral.   If you'd like to leave a comment on this episode or previous episodes, please leave me a voicemail at 214-997-4985 or email me: paul@disinfectingsunlight.com

There's so much going on in my family life. Some of it will be discussed in this episode which is the 2nd part of my story.   My nephew, Alexander Silva III, is missing. I dedicate this episode and my recovery to both him and my brother. AJ, Michael...may I remember that some of us don't get 2nd chances to make it right. May your spirits guide me always on this up and down journey of recovery. I love you more than I ever got to say. And I feel you both next to me. Thank you. I'm beyond grateful to be doing this on video as well. A little background on this episode. This was the 2nd time recording it. The audio on the first try was trashed. You'll notice the audio on this episode isn't great either. I am very spiritual person and believe quite strongly in spiritual warfare. Someone, something, didn't want me sharing this. I kid you not, I haven't felt this free in a very long time. Shame is lethal. Shame is heavy. I'm tired of dragging it around. So, even with our audio issues, I think you'll get the gist of this this. It's a long episode. Take it in bite size pieces if need be. I am not going to edit it or even add flashy titles. We'll do that on future episodes. This one is raw and unfiltered and just how it needed to be.

He's got the voice of a smooth jazz musician and a powerful story to go with it.  The thing that struck out to me in this interview was that there was never a lack of love and acceptance in his life, from the people that matter most.  I wonder how much power that brings to one's recovery.

Every once in a while an interview comes along that breaks, shakes, and awakes me.   This is the story of Christopher Stone, a 17 year old, from Santa Fe, Texas who went to school one morning and never returned home. His sister, Mercedez, has agreed to tell his story and the story of the family that now lives without him. Chris is one of 200 American students who have been killed by gun violence since Columbine in 1999.  If you think you know what that day was like from the reports you've seen in the media, you have no idea.  Grab a Kleenex and listen.   Our show is primarily listener funded.  Consider giving a monthly donation of $5 to keep us going: paypal.me/disinfectingsunlight Stay in the light.
