Established in 2010, PTE Now (Please Tell Everything Now) is a New Jersey, non-profit organization currently applying for 501c3 status. The purpose of PTE NOW is to serve the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children who have been abandoned, neglected, abused, or are otherwise at-risk. The organization was born from the story of three brothers, Terrell, Michael, and TreShawn, who were severely abused and neglected by their foster parents and whose story stole the hearts of America through their appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show and other news media. Terrell, Michael, and TreShawn were blessed to be able to triumph over their circumstances with the help of their adoptive parents, James and Amber Parrish; a couple who became the angels that gave them the love and supportthey so desperately needed. However, the Parrish Family, including the brothers, was well aware that many children are not as fortunate to escape their horrors. As a result, they formed PTE Now to provide a voice and victory for them.
The grassroots service and ministry of PTE Now is made possible through the Grace of God and by the gifts of individuals, organizations, government agencies and others who are committed to helping the organization continue to be a beacon of light for children everywhere.
OUR MISSION
The mission of PTE NOW is to empower and educate children and youth who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual abuse through advocacy, strategic awareness campaigns and events, educational programs, and life skills development. In 2007, over 5.8 million children and youth were reported as abused in America. PTE NOW stands firmly on the belief that these youth are VICTORS and not victims. Through our many programs and activities, we serve as the collective voice of these children and youth and provide them the opportunities and support to triumph over their circumstances.

The Parrish Brothers Share their Story and Encourage Young People to Tell!
Just saw this reflection on the cable network. What a wonderful outcome. You are warriors that certainly are leading other warriors. Praise God for the reflection of Gods love through you. In the Love of Christ! DP
God Bless y'all!! With more amazing young men like y'all & your wonderful new family in the world, it'd be a much better place. Thank you for touching my heart. I posted about this blot on my FB page for others to see. Good luck. I'll be looking for great things from such awesome young men. Take care.
I saw the show on Investigation Discovery. I have kids that were taken by the state. 3 boys and 1 girl. I fought them for years to give me my kids back. But I was young mother that's what I know it was. Anyway my 3 boys were placed in foster care and they were abused by their foster parents. It eventually ended up to were they ended up adopting my boys. Then when they got older they started telling me horrifying things that their adoptive parents did to them. I finally reported them to DFS. nothing happened. I keep in contact with them they are 16 17 and 20 now. I also have a daughter that I had my step aunt adopt and she was very mean and abusive to her. The stories my daughter told me. Made me sick to my stomach. Shes 14 now. I adopted her back to get her out of there. Shes so much happier. I want to write a letter to the judge, and the DFS what my children had to endure and what type of situation they were put in. How do I go about doing that? I was so touched by the story and thought about you guys and my own kids.
Listen, not for nothing, and the experience your children went through (because apparently you were "young"?! As if that's an excuse for losing FOUR CHILDREN. So yeah, I read this and all I'm seeing is, "It's not my fault. Everyone else was so abusive. They're all responsible for the terrible crap my children had to endure. Clearly _I'm_ not responsible, or if I am, it's so minimal. I was just a young mom."
Sorry, no. Not just no, but NOPE. You said that you "finally" reported these terrible foster parents (who then went on to become _adoptive_ parents?!? How does that work, they're so horribly abusive, but also so invested in them that they don't want to take the State's money, anymore. They care so very little, but yet... they go through all the expense, stress, and worry, just so they... have a few more kids with their last name?! Just, none of this jibes.) So, you knew there were problems in their new home, but you just let it slide until... you could barely pass for being a mother.
At the end of this, the biggest problem (outside of all the others =P) is pretty apparent. You're clearly a narcissist. You seem to think that the people here are working for you,... instead of just googling for the answer for yourself. But I'd really caution you on trying to guilt a judge or anyone at DFS. Again, woman, you were their mother! You take NO responsibility here, you blame EVERYONE but yourself, and no one in any of those offices are going to see your point. It's too hard to look past the really large, really pink elephant.
As for the situation with your daughter, it's almost like you think you should get a prize or something for FINALLY
removing her from your abusive aunt's house! She's "so happy" now, you chirp. You're acting like all the internal stuff that that poor kid is and has gone through aren't a problem! Beyond being the self-centered narcissist, you are, you suffer from situational blindness. If it's something you don't want to hear, you're just not gonna. And you'll continue to welter away in this fantasy you've created for you and your daughter. Problem is (and there's a lot of 'em!), you're building your daughter's future like someone built yours for you (that is unless you're a psychopath or a sociopath, but I'm just not getting that vibe from you). That said, I'm going to make some guesses, and I'm going to guess that most of them are right (I'm going for like 95% accuracy or something like that ;)). You grew up in an abusive home, either physically or psychologically. Maybe both. But if you want your current fate to be your daughter's, you gotta face up to some pretty awful truths (not just hers, but your own! You're going to feel guilty for what happened on your watch. You're going to feel bad for allowing your children to be so _hurt_ (whatever the reason was that they were removed... and please don't say it's because you're a young mother. There are literally MILLIONS of young people out here having babies every day!)
With all of that said, though, I'm being blunt for a reason. My mother had every chance to do right by me as a child. Not only was she sadistic (she took great pleasure in picking out whatever she wanted to hit me with, unless there was just rage (she was diagnosed a "rageaholic") in which case it'd just be fists flying. She tried to pull a shotgun down to do what with, neither of us knows but.... obviously it wasn't anything good.
And I was the BEST child, ever! I raised my two sisters, I'd park my dad's car at night, oh, I'm sorry, I should say "re-parked" it because it was in at such a crazy angle, the man stumbling to the couch, half awake, half not, letting his cherry burn a hole in the rug under his feet.
My point is... every single one of these people who did something incredibly shitty (and seriously, the jury is not out on this one, they deserved more, they deserved better than what they got!
I shared with you just a hint of the deep deep scarring that I was left with after dealing with my folks. They ruined so many things about me. They had all the wrong tools and just stuffed whatever they thought fit inside the holes. My mom's mom (who suffered from extreme chronic pain) was a huge narcissist. And an alcoholic. She was so unhappy in her life, she'd leave in the middle of the night and wouldn't come back for days. The kids, who'd always felt that pain of abandonment, offered her kind support. But you see what I'm saying. My grandmother's actions, thoughts, beliefs, ideologies were visited upon mother, who, in turn, took her actions, thoughts, beliefs, and ideologies, visiting them upon me. It's all just one big abusive pattern unless someone refuses to play! You know (in your heart, at least, I know you know!) that this isn't some splendid reunion with mom! I hope you're doing okay, but more importantly, I hope all of those kids are ok. They seem so lovely.
The same thg happened to one of my fam members 5 children the state (cps) took her kids away and would not let any of the biological fam see the kids. The state terminated her parental rights and the fathers rights as well. I tried to keep in contact w the kids and cps did not want any of the family to see the kids for some reason...prob somethg they were trying to "sweep under the rug". As far as I know...one child was adopted and she was a supposed friend of our fam..then after she adopted the child her own relatives stated that the foster/adoptive parent was neglecting and abusing two of the kids. Cps did NOTHG. They split all the children up and they are NOT even allowed to see each other.
This craziness has to stop . We see far to often kids who are abused in Foster Care . It happens to far to many of them. . I understand that CPS workers have many cases but they should make it a point to at least if not once a month every 2 or 3 months talk to kids in the system alone . Especially when they are home schooled and have no outside contact . The workers and the supervisors need to be accountable for where they placed these children. The sentence that the was handed down was way to light..I wish the judge was allowed to give her a sentence of starvation and abuse for 10 yrs minimum. We need to treat these abusive animals the same way they treat innocent children. The boys have turned into such wonderful , giving, intelligent , caring men. Thanks to them and their program PET I know they will be saving lives of abused kids in foster care .
People need to get a hold of their politicians and news media. They have to keep writing and talking. One person can make a difference if they just kept at it. The news always love a juicy report. This is enuff to get their attention keep telling till someone hears you
I live in St. Louis Mo. My husband and I were foster parents. Our license was taken away due to retaliation. We had two children in our care for respite (which is babysitting for the foster parent) This woman really said some things about these kids that was not true and then went on to call them psychotic.. Reason is, if the foster parent can get these children on meds..they will receive 800 per month as opposed to 400 (varies by state).. I knew what she was up..I reported this relentlessly..with no cooperation..As soon as we tried to switch to a different agency they held proceedings to take our license away! I have 600 pages of legal record with their lies... Guess who the hearings officer was....one of their own! This story needs to be on Dr Phil! The kids found me two years later and did report that they were being abused as well...The biological mother would like to speak on this as well...They did a report on 20/20 it was aired two years ago and they had a worker blacked out stating when you speak up they retaliate.. Also they do not want to adopt these kids out, the workers blame the judges..saying they terminate the parents rights...but the judges go on their recommendation!! PTE NOW...I need your help! I have all the proper documentation!! Lets save some kids together! Please contact me... Gina M.
Did you get help? I hope so. That's awful. How selfish and greedy. Unfortunately, it seems like ALMOST all involved (Foster Parents/State employees/Legal system) ONLY care about $$$$$. These kids deserve more. They need more positive,loving, caring, responsible people like you. Willing to speak up, protect them, & do the right thing so they have a chance.
I just saw your story on the ID Channel... i'm so sorry this happened to you boys. And I'm glad you finally got your lives back from some terrible people!
Ok I can't believe how brave you boys are. You guys are unbelievable to me!! Love from our hearts to yours. What an inspiration! From the suffering and horror you sweet boys unfortunately were forced to endure, you have now dedicated yourself to putting an end to this horrifying, all too common neglect and violence for other children all over the world. My family and I will keep you all in our prayers for always. Nicole in Vegas
I just saw your story on Investigation Discovery channel. I am amazed at how the 4 of you guys had to go through all that trouble and had to survive that kind of starvation. I am truly inspired by people like the 4 of you. I will tell my ftiends on facebook about this and will add a link to your blog here on my personal website. I hope this helps get your story out. I am from northern ontario canada and it moves me to see or hear stories like yours. I wish you guys and your adoptive famillies all the best in the future to come.
Hmmmm.....I am upset to see that the last update or "action" on this non-profit was in 2010. Was it just for show for the interviews? I truly hope not :(
I just seen the story of theses boys on the ID channel. My heart is very sadden. Of how they were treated. I wish that I was able to help children that are going through this.. My prayers goes out to these young men and I am glad that they have found a family that cares and love them.
I just saw the episode, and was moved by the new couple who took the young men, and made them apart of their family. The love is geniune, unlike, the first foster family. God bless you all.
I just want to say that I seen the show and I was in tears. To think their is evil people out there to do this to these children was uncalled for but,when I seen that they got out of it just in time we know for sure their is a JESUS! AMEN!!!
I just saw the story on discovery id...I truly wept. Ur truly change agents. Blessings 2 u an your family. This type of program should be supported throughout the United States. My deepest support and prayers.

Hey, It really is incredibly fantastic and informative website. Good to discover your site Very well article! I’m simply in love with it. Eternal wisdom
I just saw your story on the ID Channel. I remeberee when it first came out in the news several years ago. I am so happy you are all doing well and have created this program. God bless each of you.
Why would you come to this site of all places to post your scam links?! People never cease to blow my mind with their self righteous and selfish behavior!
I remember when this story first came out... those images are burned into my soul... I will never be able to wrap my mind around how parents could be so sadistic! Why adopt if you have so much hate in you?! Anyway I just saw an update that is still a few years old but it’s an important reminder to speak up when something seems off... if your wrong GREAT if your right you might save a life. Too many children are abandoned by our system, it’s awful. I was never able to have children of my own yet people like this ruin children’s lives.. it saddens me. As adults we are all responsible to these children that are falling through the cracks... we are responsible!! How do you then turn around and sentence a juvenile as young as 10 or 11 as an adult and put them in an adult prison taking away any likelihood that they will be able to overcome their past all the while it’s our fault!! This “woman” I use that loosely... that adopted these boys only spent 3 yrs in prison... I don’t believe in the death penalty by our government but I certainly believe in street justice... she should not be allowed any freedom or joy in this world. Like PTE says... tell, tell , tell all of it!! Do not feel ashamed if it’s happening to you... it is NOT your fault no matter what anyone tells you!!!! If it’s happening in your family or you suspect abuse of any child, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!! We have intuition for a reason, listen to it PLEASE! If you are being abused and think no one cares, please know I care, We care and you are LOVED and you are valuable and just as important as anyone else in this world!! To the men.. no longer boys 😊 and your family, I hope things have continued to move in a positive direction and that you have been able to heal.. it’s a journey. Thank you
I have watched the show and im so happy yall got out and so happy yall found real love and yall are some very blessed and awesome young men much to youll and the parrishes they are truly blessed people i pray i can do the same for a kid are a few if i get in a right place to do so i would help cause its alot of this going on in the world and people just dont help are u cant find any help so thanks for this this was so needed
God bless you guys. I'm so sorry you had suffer under such horrible conditions. Time to thrive my friends. I hope the best to you and your future families.
