And of­ten times, they would be sent to bed very ear­ly in the evening.

He was al­so oc­ca­sion­al­ly abu­sive, both ver­bal­ly and phys­i­cal­ly. They were nev­er al­lowed to play out­doors with oth­er chil­dren, nor could any­one-fam­i­ly or friend, vis­it the home. Gibbs al­so de­scribed his step­fa­ther as a very con­trol­ling and bel­liger­ent man. There was no op­po­si­tion from their moth­er as Pierre was the sole bread­win­ner. It was the be­lief of Pierre, a se­mi-lit­er­ate, that the boys should not be ed­u­cat­ed. His bi­o­log­i­cal fa­ther aban­doned him from birth.Ī young Gibbs spent his days home with his broth­er while his sis­ters were sent to school. Gibbs grew up with his moth­er, Coreen Gibbs, an al­co­holic and his step­fa­ther, Tim­o­thy Pierre, a con­vict­ed mur­der­er.

No one would be­lieve that just 13 years ago, the Min­istry of Works and Trans­port em­ploy­ee was com­plete­ly il­lit­er­ate and al­so a vic­tim of child ne­glect. He's soft-spo­ken but al­so well ar­tic­u­lat­ed. Look­ing at 25-year-old Collin Gibbs, at first glance, one sees a smart­ly dressed and peace­ful look­ing young man.
