Rick Daniels with Boyd and Lucinda

At an early age Rick and his siblings became wards of the state of Michigan. Rick says...My mother was one of my fathers many prostitutes. My mother also wanted me to know about sex at an early age so she had sex with me at 6 years old. Then she had some "co - worker " prostitutes teach me the ropes about sex. When I was 7 years old my father became a drug dealer and I became his ace sidekick; holding his stash and pistol at the age of 8 (police didnt suspect a kid could be holding everything ) but I was. Life was good for a few years with my father pushing heroin and cocaine and my mother tricking "johns" into a hotel room, then me and my father would bust in and rob them or I would hide under the bed and pick their pants pockets. I received a new .38 caliper pistol for my 10th birthday and my very own stash. My uncle started taking care of me and raping me when my parents started using their own product and became addicts. I soon had to learn how to clean needles, cook up the dope and shoot them up. The worst was spilling the dope and getting a beating for it. I became a master cooker by the age of 8. My uncle would rape me when they were high or out for days looking for dope. My father went to prison for Armed Bank Robbery in 1975. In 1976 my mother stabbed two people to death in front of my sister and I in the Herman Gardens projects on Joy Rd. ( she got away with that crime ) but caught an armed robbery case and was sent to DeHoCo Womens prison. Rick now helps the youth and has a boxing, fitness and self defense program where he offers positive solutions, support mentoring and educational assistance.
