In 1989, a friendly snow day turned into a tragedy. Seven-year-old Jessica Carr had just beaten her 9-year-old neighbor, Cameron Kocher, at Nintendo. Hours later, he shot her in the back while she rode a snowmobile—then calmly returned to his video game.Charged with murder but sentenced to probation, Cameron walked away without a criminal record. Should a child who kills ever walk free? This case forces us to confront the uncomfortable intersection of youth, violence, and justice.Follow True Crime Recaps for weekly cases that shock, disturb, and challenge what we think we know about justice.

Hey Friends~  When we talk to our kids, we use words that represent whole concepts all the time.  We do it so spontaneously that it's difficult to communicate without using such words.  When our kids don't have a good repertoire of concept - type words, it makes it difficult for them to do as told, express themselves, or deliver a message, accurately.   Today we discuss what concept words are, why they are important  AND what you can do to increase understanding at home!  This is  the fun part!  You don't need flashcards. You don't need apps. You already have everything you need to teach these words—just by playing, talking, and living life with your child.  I am going to call attention to what you already have and know… so that you can be intentional when you are teaching them.  Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com   YOUR NEXT STEPS:   Register for Webinar: "Beyond Obedience: Unveiling the Power of Listening in Kids"  https://www.thelanguageofplay.com/kids-beyond-obedience-webinar   Sign up for the Newsletter:  https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/newsletter-optin 5 Ways To Get Your Kids To Listen Better: https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/7ca5ce43-d436ea91 21 Days of Encouragement:  https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/1-21signup To discuss working together:  https://calendly.com/hello-play/strategy-session For Workshops, Speaking Events, or Partnerships conversations, schedule a call: https://calendly.com/hello-play/discovery-session  or email me at: hello@thelanguageofplay.com   A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR!   The Center for Play & Exploration: Click here to set up a conversation with Director Dave Bindewald to help you generate new ideas and practices in your parenting, work, and life.

In recent years, more and more women have been speaking openly about their decision to not have children. There are numerous books on the subject, dedicated social media spaces for childfree women and an ever increasing media interest in sharing the stories of those who refuse to go down this well-trodden path. However, some of the lesser told childfree stories are those of older women, who went against the grain at a time when motherhood was not only expected of women, but regarded as central to their lives. In this episode, Róisín Ingle is joined by one such woman, 77 year-old writer and academic Helen Taylor, who from a very young age decided not to have children. In her new book Childless by Choice: The Meaning and Legacy of a Child-free Life, Helen shares her reasons for choosing to remain childfree and she unpacks the complex feelings that have accompanied her choice. In this wide-ranging conversation, she tells Róisín Ingle where she draws meaning in life, how she dealt with moments of regret and what she wants women to know about the later stages of a child-free life.

Child actor Gary Coleman made a big cultural mark on the 1980s in his role as Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes - "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" was his notable catchphrase on the show. But the young man who emerged from the series in 1986 had a hard road ahead of him. Because of health issues stemming from his earliest days, he retained his childlike stature and appearance, and the $18 million he had earned as the highest paid child actor of the decade had been pilfered by none other than his parents. His life never got less complicated. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

Welcome to another gloriously unhinged One Star Review episode of Terror Talk Podcast, where we take the horror (and horror-adjacent) masterpieces you love — and read the most ridiculous, petty, and downright baffling one-star reviews the internet has to offer.This week, we're taking aim at:The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Apparently, some folks think Leatherface just needs a hug.Fright Night – Because who wouldn't move in next door to a vampire?Jaws – “Too much shark.” (Yes… really.)Child's Play – A doll possessed by a killer is unrealistic? Say it ain't so.Silence of the Lambs – The reviews that will make you want to eat fava beans and chianti out of sheer frustration.Interview with the Vampire – Evidently, eternal life isn't enough to keep some reviewers entertained.We roast these reviews, defend our beloved horror classics, and occasionally wonder if the reviewers even watched the movie they're trashing. Spoilers abound — you've been warned!If you love horror, hate nonsense, and enjoy a good laugh at the expense of people with wildly bad takes, this is the episode for you.

SUMMARY: *Anita shares her personal journey of facing an unplanned pregnancy at 17, navigating the emotional turmoil of telling her pastor father and the challenges of societal expectations. *Raised in a loving Christian family, she struggled with feelings of shame and the weight of her decision regarding her pregnancy. *After much prayer and reflection, she chose to place her child for adoption, believing it was in the best interest of her baby. *Throughout her experience, she highlights the importance of relationship over rules, the unconditional love of God, and the grace she received from her family and church community. *Anita emphasizes the significance of seeking God and the transformative power of sharing her story, which ultimately led her to start a ministry focused on helping others connect with God through His Word. *Her first-hand experience illustrates themes of love, redemption, and the importance of trusting in God's plan during difficult times. PODCAST INTRO: Have you ever struggled with God over a problem that is very heavy and even traumatic? Maybe it's a consequence from a choice you made or maybe it is a problem someone created for you (based on their choices). Either way, you're faced with a difficult decision. My guest, Anita Keagy shares about her unplanned pregnancy at 17 and the all the different ways that God met her in her circumstance. Anita's family had always provided a strong foundation of faith in Christ and they pointed her to Him again when she needed clarity, answers, direction, forgiveness. As you'll hear in her story, God was ahead of her need beginning with a relocation. God had already stirred her pastor father to look for a church in Lancaster, PA. Her father was offered a pastoral job so they had just recently moved when Anita discovers she's pregnant. The church that the Lord placed them in welcomed them with kindness and the desire to help them. It was a church family and environment that would be supportive to a new pastor and his family including an unwed 17 year old pregnant daughter. When Anita asked God what was best for her baby she felt she'd heard clearly that adoption was to be her choice. Even after making the decision she felt God was leading her toward, as her belly grows and she begins to feel the baby move, she second guesses whether it was God she heard or herself. Have you ever been there? Trying to discern whether you heard God right, did He really say that? I think that question is as old as the Garden of Eden. It's that struggle where we're asking/wondering, was that your voice God or my internal voice? As we all know, adoption does not end with a decision. This is an issue of the human heart and there is a lifetime ahead both for the mother and the child. Anita points out her concerns about creating abandonment and rejection issues for her daughter. Even though she had prayed and requested a Christian family for her daughter, Anita still had anxiety wondering if her little girl was safe, loved, protected. In the delivery room, Anita had only heard her daughter cry, she did not get to see her nor hold her so Anita's heart ached to meet the baby that had changed her life. She so desired to learn more about her. In our conversation, you can tell that Anita's heart was broken but she held on to hope that God would one day allow a reunion and Anita would actually meet, touch, hug her daughter, hear her daughter's voice once again. There are many precious moments that Anita shares but the one that stood out to me was the exchange that she and God had in a quiet moment together and God speaks into her spirit about His longing for the orphan hearts of the children that He desires to adopt and even those who have professed Him as their Savior but have yet to make Him the Lord of their life through reading His word, talking with Him and creating intimate relationship. As God speaks into Anita's spirit, the revelation that God shares is a pivotal moment in her life and her ministry is born. She has an incredibly hope filled heart to model and equip, in a simple way, how to engage the heart of God, pursue Him and grow in intimacy. Listen in to hear how God walked with Anita in the midst of her unplanned pregnancy. Learn what is was like for Anita to finally meet her daughter. And to me, the cherry on top of it all, the beauty of God's ability to use the pain of Anita's broken heart yearning for her daughter and exchange it for something far more beautiful than Anita could think to ask for. That's our God; to take the pain of this life, dismantle it with His truth and His love, repurpose it and bring beauty! A true beauty for ashes story. Let's listen in! Lived Loved and Thrive! @alifeofthrive.com Sherrie Pilk OTHER PODCASTS AND/OR BLOGS ON THIS TOPIC: Healing And Blending Families Through A Surprise Adoption X2 with Jennifer Uren: https://alifeofthrive.com/2021/05/26/adoption/ (Blog) A Mother's Day Wish for You (this includes the precious mommas who chose adoption): https://alifeofthrive.com/2019/05/12/a-mothers-day-wish-for-you/ CONNECT WITH ANITA: Website: https://www.joyshop.org/ Book Link: https://www.joyshop.org/shop Free 21 Day Challenge: https://www.joyshop.org/21-day-challenge BIO (as seen on her website joyshop.org/about)  Anita Keagy founded JoyShop Ministries in 2006 with one simple mission: To inspire people to spend time with God every day through Bible reading and prayer. Since then, she has traveled nationwide and internationally, sharing her message of seeking God first each day as the key to abundant life and joy. Thousands of people have heard and responded to her dynamic message at conferences, retreats, school chapel settings and churches. With a compelling story of how God used a very difficult situation in her life for His glory, Anita shares candidly how she became pregnant as a teenager – all the more “scandalous” because she was a preacher's daughter – and made the difficult choice to place her daughter for adoption. Although she never had the privilege to see or hold her child, Anita never stopped yearning to know her first-born daughter, even as she married and had four more children. Through a file of letters and the help of her adoption agency, Anita finally met her firstborn 21 years later. God used Anita's own desire to know her child to impress upon her how much He wants to know His children – us! With that knowledge, a ministry was born that is now thriving and impacting lives every day. Anita is the author of, “The File: A Mother and Child's Life-Changing Reunion.” Her motivational 6 session DVD series, “Seeking God First,” has encouraged and challenged those who long for a deeper relationship with God. Her DVD, “Letters to an Unknown Daughter” is her personal testimony of motherhood, hope, and healing. Her book and DVD series, along with additional supportive materials, can be purchased on her website. Anita Keagy lives in Washington Boro, Pennsylvania, with her husband Paul. She is the mother of 5 adult children, and 11 grandchildren. She attended Messiah College and received training from both Kay Arthur, of Precept Ministries, and Anne Graham Lotz.

Flooding in Tennessee prompts hundreds of rescues. The AP's Jennifer King reports.

Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Episode Overview: In this candid episode, Ashlee and Jennifer turn the mics on themselves to dive into their personal journeys, career paths, and how being raised in first responder families shapes not only your worldview but your entire emotional toolkit. The duo explores themes of resilience, family systems, vulnerability, and the ongoing impact of childhood experiences into adult life. Key Topics Covered The First Responder Family System: Jennifer and Ashlee reflect on the unique resilience, values, and awareness that come from growing up in a first responder household. They discuss how these environments often foster critical thinking, acute emotional intelligence, but also present real challenges especially around chaos, structure, and sometimes rigid expectations. Career Paths: Ashlee and Jennifer share their motivating moments that led them to helping professions (social work, mental health), including behind-the-scenes stories about family, pivotal college classes, and the “aha” moments that cemented their purpose. Candid talk about how family experiences (including tough love and the need to “prove ourselves”) shape career choices and attitudes. Family Dynamics & Resiliency: A reflection on the double-edged sword of first responder family dynamics. The strong values and community, alongside the strictness and sometimes unintentionally harsh communication styles that get carried from the field into the home. Insights into how these family systems continue to evolve as children grow into adults and re-negotiate relationships with their parents. Vulnerability & Forgiveness: The importance of parents, especially first responders, showing vulnerability and apologizing when things go wrong. How open, honest dialogue between parent and child can build long-term resilience and deep family bonds, even (or especially) after conflict. Parenting Reflections: Both hosts admit the learning curve of parenting, and the hope to do things differently while acknowledging that every generation makes mistakes. The value of simply saying “I’m sorry” as a parent.   If this episode resonated with you or if you have stories to share about living with a first responder, reach out to Ashlee and Jennifer on their social media platforms!   Thank you for tuning in!

Today's podcast features an incredibly talented and always delightful Catherine Hicks. You might remember her as the loving Annie Camden from “7th Heaven,” the brilliant Dr. Gillian Taylor who taught Captain Kirk a thing or two about whales in “Star Trek IV” and of course, the woman who had the unfortunate luck of buying a doll possessed by a serial killer in “Child's Play.” But then, we've all made questionable shopping choices, right? But, did you also know she starred alongside Bill Murray in “Stripes?” She held her own against one of comedy's greatest. She'll comment on that experience.

In this episode, Kristina and Anna unpack one of the most deceptively charming villains in the Inner Villain system: the Eternal Child, also known as the Peter Pan archetype. From its origins as “Norman Bates” to the deep dive into J.M. Barrie's surprisingly toxic Peter Pan, this conversation explores how the Eternal Child is rooted in the mother wound, thrives on confabulated reality, and resists the grounded action that real growth requires.You'll hear how this archetype shows up in everyday relationships, the difference between harmless childlike play and destructive immaturity, and why “love bombing” often masks the need to be taken care of. Kristina shares personal stories, literary analysis, and a biting “Am I the Asshole?” example that perfectly illustrates this villain in action.We also explore the Hero form (The Reflective) and the Legend form (The Traveler), and how travel, self-awareness, and facing reality are key to moving out of the Eternal Child cycle.What you'll learn in this episode:How the Eternal Child confabulates reality vs. intentionally gaslightsThe entitlement of “having your cake and eating it too” in relationshipsWhy Peter Pan is a surprisingly dark figure when you read the original storyHow the Eternal Child differs from the Vain Controller (Regina George)Real-life and pop culture examples, from Kanye West to Parks & Rec's AndyPractical ways to recognize and invert the Eternal Child archetypeTake the Inner Villain Quiz: https://www.kristinawiltsee.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Who are you pleasing most today? Yourself, mankind, your Heavenly Father?

In this episode of the Art of the Session series, I walk through one of the most important and most underutilized CCPT skills: reflecting feelings. Despite its central role in both the reflective responses and the four pillars of CCPT, reflecting feelings is statistically the least used skill—even among highly trained clinicians. I explore why that might be, and how we can increase our intentional use of this essential tool. I cover the mechanics of a strong feeling reflection, the emotional vocabulary needed, and how nonverbal congruence—tone of voice and facial expression—can make or break the moment. I also clarify the difference between reflecting feelings and making assumptions based on behavior, and I touch on how to reflect needs, desires, wishes, and intentions when emotion isn't clear. This episode is both a technical breakdown and a heartfelt reminder of the emotional attunement CCPT requires—and why it's worth doing well.

Over the last two episodes, I've told you the story of five-year-old Dennis Vaughan Jr., known affectionately as “Boo,” who died in his grandmother's house on Christmas Eve, 2019. Boo's mom, Danielle Vaughan, fought to regain custody of her five kids, all of whom were under the guardianship of Danielle's mother, Sherry Conner. Despite dozens of reports to DCYF, all alleging that Sherry was abusing her grandkids, they weren't removed from her care until after Boo died.Now, you'll hear my conversation with Danielle, who was candid, raw, and honest as she told me about the abuse and the trauma her kids endured in Sherry's home. The details she shared had my jaw on the floor, and after you hear what Danielle has to say, I'm positive you'll be as horrified as I am.This is part three of the heartbreaking story of Dennis “Boo” Vaughan Jr.Justice for Dennis “Boo” Vaughan Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile/100090309441118/ 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/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy 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.

When Sara's four-year-old son started asking permission to use art supplies he'd always freely accessed before, she knew something had shifted. After a year in a (loving, high-quality!) preschool, her previously autonomous child was suddenly seeking approval for things that had never required it. Sara had never required this at home, and in fact it worried her because it didn't fit with her values to treat her son as a whole person. If this shift was happening so obviously at home, what other changes might be occurring that she couldn't see yet - changes that might not align with what mattered most to her family? Sara wished she could homeschool, but knew it wasn't in the cards. Seeing the shift in her son showed her that once her son started formal school, she was going to be the one who helped him to stay connected to learning that wasn't just based on rote memorization. But how would she do this, when she wasn't a teacher? In this conversation, Sara shares how she learned to step back from teaching and instead scaffold her son's innate curiosity about everything from astronauts to construction vehicles. As an architect and immigrant parent navigating cultural pressures around achievement, Sara's story reveals how supporting your child's interests rather than directing their learning can transform both your relationship and their confidence as a learner. Whether you're working full-time, in school, homeschooling, or simply wondering how to nurture your child's curiosity without taking over, Sara's practical examples show that interest-based learning doesn't have to add a lot of work to busy family life. It becomes an organic part of how you connect and explore the world together. Questions this episode will answer What does interest-based learning look like in real family life?How can parents support learning without taking over their child's exploration?What is scaffolding in education and how do you do it effectively?How do you identify and follow your child's genuine interests?What are learning explorations and how do they differ from traditional teaching?How can working parents implement interest-led learning with limited time?What role should documentation play in supporting children's learning?How do you overcome perfectionism when supporting your child's education?What does "following the child" mean in practice?How can parents build their child's creative problem-solving skills? What you'll learn in this episode You'll discover practical strategies for supporting your child's innate curiosity without turning into the teacher. Sara shares specific examples of learning explorations around space and construction vehicles that show how to scaffold learning by asking questions instead of providing answers. You'll learn to recognize when your child is truly engaged versus when you've taken over their exploration. The episode reveals how small shifts in language - things like pausing and saying: "Hmmm…I wonder?" instead of immediately explaining - can transform everyday moments into meaningful learning opportunities. This simple shift transitions the responsibility for learning from you back to your child, and invites them to consider how their current question fits with what they already know. It also establishes a habit of what we do when we have questions: we don't simply jump to Google or ChatGPT; we first work to understand whether we might actually already have the answer (or something close to it) ourselves. This protects our kids against the stupidification that research warns us is happening now that we can turn to AI to answer our every question. Sara's journey from perfectionist parent (her parents' motto when she was a child: "Be The Best!") to
