this, it's like now i don't trust grown-ups. it's like when you're a victim of something, no matter what it is, physical, sexual, verbal, no matter, when you live a life with so much trauma, that throughout life growing up, if someone else don't victimize you, you victimize yourself. i think i've been my own worst enemy in that respect. >> flores eventually re-established a positive relationship with his mother. >> come here, baby girl. >> now cornett is less vocal about her son when she works with other victims and their families. >> it's not about me. it's not about jason anymore. our damage is done. there's nothing that's going to fix what we have. we're broken and i put it together the best i can with superglue and i have to move on. >> while flores says his shame he felt over his case going public helped lead him to crime, it was an earlier stay at the hillsborough county jail that led to another strange chapter in his life.
