Chris is a product of his environment and had a difficult up-bringing. Born to the parents of Charles Tucker & Betty Ann Fetterman in Fairfax, VA. Chris has 7 known blood siblings (5 brothers/ 2 sisters), most of them are by different fathers. At the age of 3 his family moved to Winchester, VA, to find a better life and that of one for a better financial living situation. In the summer of 1984 his father was sent to prison for a 12 year term due to illegal narcotics trafficing as well as physical abuse to both his mother and oldest brother of a previous male that his mother was involved in. He was said to have beaten his wife numerous times and in 1983 is believed to have killed a pre-born child of his. This child was to be the first sibling born after Chris. Chris himself was a victim of his father's beatings and during the winter of 1983 was thrown into the the family fireplace in which he broke his leg. After his father was locked up life became a major financial problem for Chris's mother. Chris and his 3 brothers were moved around 4 times in the same neighborhood in just 2 years and a place to raise the children was an unstable one for Betty. Rarely making ends meet and trying to raise 3 young sons was hard all in itself. Chris's mother continued to find alcoholic and drug addicted male boy-friends. Chris was always in the streets playing with neighborhood kids alike, most of the time with no shoes on his feet. The usual meal for Chris from age 3-6 was either raw hotdogs or bread shreeded up and used as cereal with milk in a bowl. Chris use to steal what little money his mom did have in the house and used it to buy candy and ice cream. In the fall of 1986 Chris began to attend Virginia Avenue Elementary School in Winchester. It was there he began to get noticed by teacher's and peers alike. He was usually pretty dirty with ran down clothes and his hair was never brushed. The following fall in 1987 while Chris was in 1st grade he and his 3 brother's were taken away from his mother and custody was put in the hands of social services and the state of Virginia.
