A teenager who was found after going missing for eight years has finally spoken out about the relationship with his mother and the hoax around his disappearance.
Rudy Farias had been reported missing at the age of 17 in 2015 described that his mother, Janie Santana, would manipulate and brainwash him, making him believe he would get in trouble if he didn't comply with her orders.
He explained that he was not physically restrained but felt mentally trapped. The now-25-year-old was found unconscious outside a church with cuts and bruises on his body earlier this month.
