Jake Haro Case: Castration, Competency Tests & Child Safety: Should Society Go Further? What does it mean to have the capacity to parent? In this gripping segment, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott wrestle with the uncomfortable truth: not everyone can or should be raising children. The Haro case sparks a brutally honest conversation about America's obsession with “positive thinking” — the idea that anyone can change if they just try. But when it comes to protecting kids, blind faith is a death sentence. Jake Haro attended parenting classes, checked the required boxes, and was rated “low risk.” Weeks later, his baby was dead. Tony and Shavaun explore the difference between positive thinking and magical thinking, questioning why courts continue to assume abusers can be rehabilitated with a weekend class or compliance checklist. The discussion veers into dystopian territory — competency tests for reproduction, mandatory castration for repeat abusers — but the underlying point is serious: we are giving violent, unfit parents chance after chance, while children pay the price. This segment is provocative, raw, and absolutely necessary. It challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable questions about parental rights, societal responsibility, and whether protecting children should come before protecting the freedom of abusers.

Jade Dass was taking medication to treat her addiction to opioids before she became pregnant. Scientific studies and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say this leads to the best outcomes for both mothers and babies. But after Dass delivered a healthy daughter, the hospital reported her to the Arizona Department of Child Safety, which conducted an investigation and separated her from her newborn.  “I just couldn't believe it, that people would act like this,” Dass says. “Like how they couldn't see—it's, like, you have no humanity if you're gonna take someone's baby.”To understand the scale of this issue, reporter Shoshana Walter, data reporter Melissa Lewis, and a team of Reveal researchers and lawyers filed 100 public records requests, putting together the first-ever tally of how often women are reported to child welfare agencies for taking prescription drugs during pregnancy. This week on Reveal, we follow Dass as she grapples with losing custody of her baby—and makes one last desperate attempt to keep her family together.Walter has turned some of her reporting for Reveal into a book about the addiction treatment industry, Rehab: An American Scandal, which comes out this month. This is an update of an episode that originally aired in July 2023.
