Let's think about the little ones who were abused today, and I want to ask them what signs , what do we parents have to pay attention to ". 

And, immediately afterwards, he confessed: " I am going to tell you that I was a victim of abuse , at the age of 10, and I did not have the opportunity to put it into words, I was ashamed. My mother did not realize it . Whoever discovers the situation he is my younger brother. He puts into words what he had seen, and there, they run me from that place. " 

Then, the television presenter recalled that traumatic experience. “At home there was no possibility of making a judicial complaint , we just ran; the link with the family was severed . This happened a long time ago, when he kept quiet because he was ashamed ”.
