The Ticking Time Bomb:

How One Man Ended the Cycle of Abuse
by Jeanne Sparks-Carreker

BIRMINGHAM-Timothy lives in a modest, split-level home in the town of Huffman. Known in the community as "the Ticking Time-Bomb," the 48 year old machinist has lived a life that many people in this town refer to as "just plain sad."

The guest speakers made it sound like once a child is mistreated, they're doomed to abuse their own one day."

Being familiar with the history of the Ticking Time-Bomb, I smile, knowing where this interview is going now, and happy to witness Tim finally speaking out against public scrutiny. I ask, "So, you wish to challenge their statements?"

"You bet I do."
