Trapped By My Criminal Father: My Life on the Run

TIMESTAMPS UNAVAILABLE FOR THIS EPISODE CW:  CA, DV, Mentions of CSA Material & Suicidal Attempts/Ideation.  Zett Espinoza was born into a professional criminal family in Los Angeles. Her mother struggled with mental illness and that often left the children neglected and afraid. Initiated into gang life around 12 years old, Zett’s father was conditioned for illegal activity. He started an illegal empire and employed his children to avoid his own fingerprints on the horrific materials they were packing. He was constantly running from the law and even escaped prison at one point which led him to cross into Mexico and force his children to take on new identities. Zett and her siblings had no choice but to fall into line and continue the criminal activity into their adult years. Zett managed to escape that life, but not without serious threats from her father who is still to this day at large.  Click here to watch on YouTube Watch Zett on Soft White Underbelly - “A Fugitive Childhood" Follow Zett on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@ZettEspinoza Subscribe to our C2C "CLIPS" Channel!
