    Bonus Minisode #2: Autumn Horak

    *This minisode, formerly available only to Patreon subscribers, was originally released on June 12, 2021. Since I'm no longer creating these, I’ll occasionally release them to the public for all my listeners to enjoy. I didn’t realize until I re-listened how fast I talked back then; sorry about that!* On the morning of February 28, 2020, a young mother summoned Milwaukee police to her home, where her 4-year-old daughter, Autumn Horak, was unresponsive. Autumn, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was found wearing only a diaper and covered in injuries, including multiple bruises, a burn, and even a human bite mark. This is the tragic story of Autumn Horak.

    Episode 187: Arianna Starkey (Part 2)

    Last week, I told you the story of two-year-old Arianna Starkey, whose father, Austin Starkey, failed to protect her from his homicidal girlfriend, Destani Neel. Both Austin and Destani were sentenced to prison for their roles in Arianna’s brutal death. Arianna’s death hit her family hard, and it’s taken some time for her maternal grandmother, Christina Justice, to be ready to tell her story. In this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Christina, who told me about how she and her daughter, Arianna’s mom, Kassie, have dealt with their loss, as well as the questions that remain unanswered about the case and who their precious Ari was. This is part 2 of the harrowing story of Arianna Starkey.

    Episode 186: Arianna Starkey (Part 1)

    Note: I'm honored to release this episode on what would be Arianna's sixth birthday. On January 8, 2021, 27-year-old Destani Neel called 911, reporting that her boyfriend’s daughter was having trouble breathing. Although two-year-old Arianna Starkey was rushed to the hospital, she never regained consciousness, and she took her last breath two days later. Destani—a mother herself—had a story prepared for investigators, but her details kept changing, and it was immediately apparent that Arianna’s death was not an accident. This is the story of a little girl who loved her big brother, her pink boots, and having tea parties with her Nana. It’s also the story of a mother who took out all of her frustrations on her boyfriend’s innocent toddler—and a man whose intervention could have saved his daughter’s life. This is part 1 of the harrowing story of Arianna Starkey.

    NOV 21

    Episode 185: Preventing Childhood Drownings (with Christi Brown)

    From time to time, instead of covering an individual child’s story, I tackle a broader topic, such as my past episodes about hot car deaths and medical child abuse. While the topic of today’s episode doesn’t necessarily intersect with that of child abuse and neglect, it definitely intersects with this podcast’s purpose: to protect children. For this episode, I spoke with Christi Brown, the executive director of the Judah Brown Project. Christi is a mom who always thought she was protecting her kids from the dangers of water until her three-year-old son, Judah, died in 2016 from an accidental drowning that happened in the blink of an eye. If you think “That could never happen to me,” this episode is a must-listen.

    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.  Links discussed in this episode: My Magic Mind link: https://magicmind.com/BYLAINE20 (and use discount code BYLAINE20 at checkout)Law & Crime Network video with interrogation footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwrP1XA6dNw Justice for Fallon Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/JusticeForFallonThe National Organization of Parents of Murdered Children: https://www.pomc.org  Kristin’s GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-help-for-kristin-fridley-her-family Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod  You can also follow the podcast on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/STLCpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpod My Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod  Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.  By supporting me on Patreon, you'll also access rewards, including a shout-out by name on the podcast and exclusive rewards.

    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.
