    Episode 184: Kinsleigh Welty
    When Indianapolis police responded to a 911 call for an unresponsive child on April 9, 2024, they couldn’t have guessed the horrific circumstances of the victim’s life and death. 5-year-old Kinsleigh Welty, who weighed only 21 pounds, was clearly malnourished. She had a bruise on her face and fecal matter on her body and matted into her hair, which was crawling with lice. Kinsleigh was pronounced dead at Riley Hospital for Children the same day.

    This is the story of yet another child failed by Indiana’s child welfare system. It’s also the story of yet another case of reunification gone wrong and a child who thrived in the care of others, only to die at the hands of a biological parent.

    Also in this episode, you’ll hear from Kinsleigh’s great-aunt, Carrie Hogan, who, along with many others, demands change from Indiana’s Department of Child Services. 

    This is the gut-wrenching story of Kinsleigh Welty.

    Episode 183: Fallon Fridley Updates (with Kristin Fridley)
    In Episode 102, I told you the story of two-year-old Fallon Fridley, a precious little girl in Georgia whose babysitter, a close family friend, tortured and killed her in December 2020. The attack was caught on the babysitter’s in-home video surveillance system, and police found incriminating search terms on Kirstie Flood’s phone, such as “What does it mean to have a sudden urge to beat a child that’s not yours?”

    Today, I have several updates for you in Fallon’s case, including plea deals, sentencing, and more. You’ll also hear my recent conversation with Fallon’s mom, Kristin Fridley, who has been to hell and back over the past four years but manages to remain grateful for the blessings in her life.

    Bonus Minisode #1: Keigan O'Brien (Formerly Patreon exclusive)
    *This minisode, formerly available only to Patreon subscribers, was originally released on May 27, 2021. Since I'm no longer creating these, I thought I'd release them once in a while for all my listeners to enjoy. I apologize for talking so fast back then!*

    An adorable two-year-old boy described by loved ones as a “cheeky monkey” is dead, murdered just days after his second birthday, and his older sisters are left wondering why their beloved baby brother never came home. This is a tragic story out of England that I covered in November 2020 on the now-defunct Suffer the Little Children Blog.

    This is the heartbreaking story of Keigan O'Brien.

    Episode 182: National Children's Alliance (with Teresa Huizar)
    The National Children's Alliance (or NCA) is a Washington, D.C.-based network of almost 1,000 Children’s Advocacy Centers (or CACs) across the United States. These centers offer crucial services to children affected by abuse, providing them with a safe space to share their stories and access a diverse team of professionals, from health practitioners to law enforcement. CACs have trained nearly 1.6 million people in child abuse prevention, and last year alone, CACs served over 380,000 children. But with this year’s $600,000 cut to the Victims of Crime Act funding, CACs now face dire challenges.

    In this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Teresa Huizar, CEO of the NCA, to discuss what these cuts mean for CACs and the vulnerable children who rely on them. We explore how these centers operate, the impact of the funding loss, and various child abuse-related topics. Teresa’s insights emphasize why advocacy and support for these centers have never been more urgent.

    (Re-Release) Episode 141: Cali Anderson
    (Today would be Cali's 12th birthday, so I'm re-releasing this episode in her honor.)

    On May 15, 2018, police responded to a self-storage facility in Sacramento, California, where, in one of the storage units, sat a box containing a blue plastic barrel, inside which was a duffel bag. In that bag were the remains of a small child who appeared to have been dead for at least two weeks. Police tracked down the couple who left the box in the storage unit, Tyler and Averyauna Anderson of Reno, Nevada, and arrested them for the murder of Tyler’s five-year-old daughter, Cali.

    This is the story of a little girl whose stepmother hated her so much that she kept Cali handcuffed in a dog crate in the bathroom and slowly, over the course of several years, starved the little girl to death. It’s also the story of a man who doesn’t deserve the title of “father,” because he did absolutely nothing to protect his own daughter.

    This is the horrific story of Cali Anderson.

    Episode 181: Vayda Vasquez
    When Vayda Vasquez was a month away from turning two, her custodial maternal grandma trusted her overnight with a long-time family friend, Kellie Barthel. The following morning, after several 911 calls from Kellie’s residence in Stanton, Michigan, police responded and found little Vayda unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

    This is the story of a sweet, happy little girl who loved dancing, “Baby Shark,” and listening to her mommy sing. It’s also the story of a woman who valued her meth and alcohol cravings over the life of a joyful, much-loved toddler. 

    Also in this episode, you’ll hear from Vayda’s mom, Danielle Maybee, who has turned her life around in the four years since Vayda’s death. Dani and I had a candid, honest conversation about Vayda’s life, her death, and the memories she left behind.

    This is the heartbreaking story of Vayda Vasquez.

    Episode 180: The West Memphis Three (An Interview with Dan Stidham)
    On the evening of May 5, 1993, three eight-year-old boys—Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers—went missing in West Memphis, Arkansas. The next day, in a nearby wooded area, the boys were found brutally murdered, bound, and submerged in a drainage ditch. The horrific nature of the crime shocked the community, and police quickly arrested three local teenagers—Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley—based on a coerced false confession, no solid evidence, and Satanic panic.

    This is the story of three innocent children whose lives were stolen in an unspeakable act of violence. It’s also the story of three wrongfully convicted teenagers who spent 18 years in prison, one of them on death row, for a crime they didn’t commit—the victims of a flawed justice system and a community in the grip of fear.

    In today’s episode, I’m honored to discuss a case that has gripped me for many years with the one man who has been involved since the beginning: Jessie Misskelley’s original defense attorney, case advocate, and author of the recent book, A Harvest of Innocence: Judge Dan Stidham.

    This is our discussion about his book and the tragic case of the West Memphis Three.

    Episode 179: Jonathan Carey (Part 3)
    Over the past two episodes, I told you the story of non-verbal, autistic 13-year-old Jonathan Carey, who was smothered to death in 2007. His killer was a care worker from a facility for people with developmental disabilities. How could something like this happen?

    In this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Jonathan’s father, Michael Carey, who has spent the last 17 years pushing for a massive overhaul of New York State’s mental health system as well as legislature to help protect others with developmental disabilities. 

    This is part three of the mind-boggling story of Jonathan Carey.

    Episode 178: Jonathan Carey (Part 2)
    In the last episode, I told you the story of Jonathan Carey, a non-verbal, autistic boy whose parents had no choice but to send him to a second residential program after he suffered abuse and torture at the first one he attended. At age 13, Jonathan was restrained and suffocated to death by Developmental Aide Edwin Tirado. In this episode, I’ll continue Jonathan’s story where I left off, and I’ll tell you about the Careys’ continued fight to change the system that tragically took their son from them.

    This is the story of how a boy’s horrific, preventable death has triggered some—but not enough—changes in the way New York State cares for people with developmental disabilities.

    This is part two of the mind-boggling story of Jonathan Carey.
