Scottie Barns’ dad was a convicted drug dealer, and she’s never even been told “I love you” from him. He spent most of his life locked up, so Scottie knows the deep-rooted pain associated with growing up without a father.

But Scottie offers the sobering reminder that it’s the children who are the silent victims. It’s one thing to punish the parent, but their kids don’t deserve to pay for the sins of their fathers.
Watch these remarkable encounters as some of these little ones lay eyes on their daddy for the very first time…
