Thank you for your interest in Heath Stocks and for taking the time to learn more about him. On this web site you will find information about how you can help Heath along with information about child abuse and it's long term effects on the lives it touches. Your support is greatly appreciated and needed.

Heath Stocks is a victim of child abuse seeking to share his tragic story to prevent the abuse of other young children. No story of child abuse is simple. Statistics show that 1 in 6 children are sexually abused by a family member or trusted family friend. Heath's abuse finally ended when his father, mother and sister were murdered in an effort to protect the man abusing him. Heath's story is sad and will break your heart, especially if you have known someone abused as a child. Heath is speaking out through the media, the internet and any other way he can to make us all aware of the prevalence of child abuse in our society. If only one child is spared the pain that Heath has experienced, his efforts will not be in vain.

Heath is presently in an Arkansas prison, sentenced to life without parole for the murders of his family. Heath's abuser, a trusted Boy Scout Leader and "pillar of the community", Charles "Jack" Walls III, had an enormous amount of power and control in the small Arkansas community of Lonoke. The power this abuser had over his victims kept even the mention of Heath's abuse from coming up at his sentencing. It wasn't until a year after Heath was sent to prison that the story of Jack's abuse was made public.

Charles "Jack" Walls, III was convicted on 6 counts of RAPE and is now serving one life and a 40 year sentence in the Arkansas Department of Corrections, with possibility of parole. Hopefully, this man will never be granted parole and never be able to touch another young boy.

Every little boy deserves a chance to live his life. Heath's life as a child and an adult was stolen by a sexual predator that was suppose to be a trusted family friend. Don't let that mistake happen to your child or any child you know!
