Oct. 31, 2023 – The video is from God Behind Bars, a non-profit ministry that shares the testimonies of prison inmates. The video of Bateman has more than 200,000 likes on Instagram.
In the video, Bateman shares that he was raised in a Christian home, but he was sexually molested and raped when he was 9. He was bullied at school as well, according to CBN News.
“I eventually started hating life,” he shared. “I started hating God. I started just cursing and hating everybody.”
He attempted suicide when he was ten and then spent time in and out of mental hospitals.
When he was 13, he started using drugs, and at 16, he went to drug rehab.
“Everything they tried to do didn’t work,” he shared.
“I was constantly verbally abusive to my family. I would constantly bicker with my mom. I had to be restrained multiple times because of my aggression. I’m punching trees…punching walls…punching holes in my wall. Just causing massive amounts of mischief,” he added.
