    Sarah Grace Patrick was denied bond today in Carroll County, Georgia. The 17-year-old accused of killing her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock will remain in solitary confinement as her trial gets pushed to August 2026.Judge Dustin Hightower cited flight risk and revealed that family members have signed contracts with media production companies for a documentary — raising concerns about financial motivation.But buried in the court record is a history nobody's discussing. In 2022, Kristin was charged with attempting to run James over with a car. James filed for a protective order with allegations of abuse and 911 interference. The order was dismissed weeks later. They married in 2023.Bond hearing witnesses testified Sarah showed signs of trauma — apologizing for eating, showering, using the bathroom. Her best friend said she was never allowed inside Sarah's home. Court documents reveal cameras were in Sarah's bedroom and were removed before the murders.Sarah has been in isolation for seven months. Research shows juvenile solitary causes permanent psychological damage. The UN defines it as torture after 15 days.Kristin's parents believe Sarah is innocent. James's family fears for their lives.

      What does it really take to leave an abusive relationship—and how can community save lives?     In this deeply moving episode of the PowerWomen Podcast, co-hosts Claire Brown and Gayatri Agnew sit down with Camryn Ross and her mother, Andrea Sayre, to break the silence around domestic violence, shame, and survival. Together, they share a raw, multi-generational conversation about the emotional manipulation that keeps women trapped, the courage it takes to reclaim self-worth, and why leaving is a process—not a single moment.     This episode offers hope, clarity, and practical guidance for anyone impacted by domestic abuse—directly or indirectly. You'll hear why women often attempt to leave multiple times, how isolation erodes confidence, and why empathy and presence matter more than judgment. Most importantly, this conversation highlights real resources, real support systems, and real pathways to safety and healing.

Hope and Strength goes out to all victims, suffering and saved.[Content Warning]: Neglect, Substance Abuse, Domestic Violence, Child Sexual Abuse, Rape, Human Trafficking of a Child ,Exploitation, Attempted Suicide, and Graphic Discussions of Abuse Related Injuries.Today, Jan is joined by Elizabeth Rose, who shares her story of neglect and childhood sexual abuse that began early on in her life. She talks about the normalization of abuse in her home and the grooming and manipulation she experienced. Being trafficked as a teenager, abandoned by her mother, and living in multiple foster care homes as an adolescent, Elizabeth Rose has a unique perspective on the systemic injustices that are faced by children who are neglected, abused and exploited. In this conversation, Jan and Elizabeth Rose discuss the importance of education, advocacy, trauma-informed care, and support for survivors of human trafficking. They highlight the need for community belief and understanding, as well as the role of legislation in preventing and addressing trafficking.  They also discuss the notion that many people believe human trafficking only occurs far away, but in reality, it's happening right here in North America, often perpetrated by someone familiar to us.  Lastly, they discuss the systemic failures in the support systems for survivors and the need for resources as well as education in the community. The conversation ends with a message of hope and resilience for all survivors and Elizabeth Rose shares about how being an advocate for others has helped her in her healing journey.Elizabeth Rose would like to highlight:The Joy Smith FoundationLuma & BloomIf you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal ideation, please access the resources below:National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call/Text 988National Sexual Assault Hotline  (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)National Alliance for Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264Subscribe / Support / Contact:

    Crises don't just knock out power—they unravel the safeguards that keep predators at bay. We dig into how traffickers exploit natural disasters, pandemics, and even major events by stepping into system failures with promises of food, shelter, and work that morph into coercion and control. From labor trafficking in post-hurricane rebuilds to targeted online recruitment of displaced single mothers, we connect the dots between vulnerability, policy loopholes, and criminal opportunity.Our guest, Benjamin Greer, a trafficking subject-matter expert who trains law enforcement and advises a state threat assessment center, breaks down real-world case studies and the modalities behind them: forced labor disguised as reconstruction, illicit adoption pipelines after the Haiti earthquake, and the way suspended wage protections can trigger a “gold rush” of poorly monitored contracts. We talk frankly about data gaps around big sporting events, why preparedness still matters, and how to turn these high-attention moments into training, service mapping, and smarter plans.We also shift to a public health lens. Pandemic closures revealed new disruption tools—like utility shutoffs and health code enforcement—that pushed illicit businesses out of the shadows. Then we widen the circle: code enforcement, utility workers, delivery drivers, rideshare drivers, shelter intake teams, and building inspectors can all be first identifiers with the right signals and anonymous reporting paths. In court, we unpack why expert witnesses on trauma and coercive control help juries make sense of texts, timelines, and victim behavior that seem contradictory but align with science.Finally, we go after the motive: money. Stronger fines, meaningful restitution, and modern asset forfeiture that targets the instrumentalities of coercion—homes, vehicles, farms, business premises—can make exploitation a losing proposition. Pair that with multidisciplinary task forces, shared intel platforms, and survivor-centered services, and communities can close the space traffickers rely on.

    We start with a snow-bright morning and end with a sharper lens. We sit down with advocate and system analyst Valerie Frost to explore how systems built to protect families can become tools of coercive control—and how to change that trajectory with better listening, precise language, and survivor-centered practice. Valerie traces the everyday realities of child welfare, family court, schools, and law enforcement, showing where checklists fail, how jargon shuts doors, and why knowledge inequity forces survivors to learn a foreign language just to get help.We dig into visible versus invisible harm and why non-physical abuse or coercive control often gets dismissed or misread, leaving anxiety and hypervigilance weaponized against the survivor. From “customer service” logic for public systems to the risks of records, we examine how police calls and protection orders can be turned against survivors, and how both over-engagement with systems and system hesitancy get blamed. The conversation moves from critique to action: validating protective parenting, centering context over compliance, and anchoring assessments in the perpetrator's pattern rather than the survivor's reactions.Valerie shares practical tools—build a dated log, control your narrative with consistent documentation, protect your basics like sleep and hydration—and argues for policy shifts that mandate recognition of coercive control, limit unnecessary information sharing, and reward restraint over surveillance. We also talk about showing up whole: professionals who are survivors, survivors who lead, and creating rooms where the end user defines engagement. The takeaway is simple and demanding: Systems don't need more policies as much as they need better listening; survivors have already mapped where harm happens.If this conversation resonates, subscribe, share it with a colleague or friend, and leave a review so more people can find survivor-centered guidance that actually helps.Send us a text Now available!

     Tiffany Newton is on a mission to empower women to recognize the red flags and warning signs of an abusive relationship to prevent them from becoming entangled in one. Seven years after leaving an abusive relationship herself, Tiffany has turned her pain into purpose. She is the President and Co-Founder of IgniteHer INC, is in the process of pursuing her certification through Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, participates in domestic violence advocacy, serves on the local Sexual Response Teams and Domestic Violence task force. She is also the author of the powerful and informative book titled "Behind The Smile." Tiffiny shares her own personal story of becoming embroiled in an abusive and controlling relationship as well as the controlling and manipulation that went along with it. She explains how the abuser ingratiates himself (or herself) to his chosen victim, beginning with the slow, insidious process of grooming, which continued to escalate to control, gaslighting, manipulation, and more. Tiffany describes how she finally reached her limit and her line in the sand, giving her the strength and courage to save herself, her dogs, and walk away from her abuser.

    What if the most powerful weapon in an abusive relationship isn't a fist, but a login? We sit down with Jordyn Lawson, Chief Residential Officer at Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, to unpack how financial abuse and coerced debt quietly trap survivors—even long after they leave. From paychecks diverted into hidden accounts to loans opened under threat or deception, money becomes a leash: it governs housing, food, credit, and the ability to move toward safety.Jordyn shares what frontline work reveals: the overwhelming prevalence of financial control, the shock of discovering debts for cars or even boats survivors never saw, and why credit scores can become gatekeepers to a new home or job. We connect the dots between personal harm and public cost—billions lost to intimate partner violence, millions of workdays missed, and the chilling number of workplace homicides tied to abusers. Most importantly, we map the way forward: how to spot red flags, how loved ones can support without minimizing, and how workplaces should prepare to protect employees targeted by abusers.There's real hope in policy and practice. We highlight legal reforms that recognize coerced debt as identity theft in Texas, how survivors can challenge fraudulent accounts, and why advocacy partnerships streamline credit repair with minimal cost. We also dig into financial literacy strategies that restore control—pulling credit reports on safe devices, securing independent accounts, documenting coercion, and planning for deposits and child care. Along the way, we confront enduring myths about who works, who controls the money, and why “everyone fights about finances” is not a free pass for abuse.If you care about safety, equity, or simply want to help someone you love, this conversation gives you clear tools and next steps. Listen, share with a friend, and help us push for policies and workplace practices that put safety first.

    What happens when David turns the tables on Ruth and interviews her—seven years into their shared body of work?In this special anniversary episode, David marks seven years since Ruth joined the Safe & Together Institute by stepping into the interviewer role. This is a founder-level conversation about vision, values, the hard work of scaling, and how systems actually change when lived experience is treated as critical professional expertise—not an add-on.Ruth traces her journey from working with medical practitioners to helping transform Safe & Together from a training organization into a systems-change engine. She shares the deeper vision behind that shift: embedding domestic abuse–informed, trauma-informed, child-centered practice into the real operating conditions of systems through values-aligned leadership, business rigor, and strong operations. A central theme is supporting frontline workers—how poor practice, rigid forms, siloed communication, and unrealistic mandates make ethical work harder, and how better systems design can reduce moral injury and make good practice more sustainable.Ruth also introduces the Credible Expert approach, embedding diverse, system-literate survivors as compensated contributors to design, strategy, and decision-making. Together, they offer an unflinching critique of “reduce removals” initiatives and explain what meaningful reform actually requires.Looking ahead, they introduce SafetyNexus, a technology platform designed to coach practitioners, map perpetrator patterns, strengthen documentation, and streamline workflows—without replacing professional judgment—while centering survivor governance from the start.This episode is both a milestone and an invitation to keep building systems that save lives and save money.Please follow us, share this episode, and send us your comments.Send us a text Now available!

    In this episode of Police Off The Cuff, we examine the domestic violence dynamics that investigators say played a critical role in the tragic murders of Monique and Spencer Tepe. While much public attention has focused on evidence and timelines, this discussion looks deeper—into the behavioral patterns, emotional escalation, and warning signs that law enforcement professionals recognize in domestic-related homicide cases. Using an investigative lens grounded in real police procedure, we break down how former intimate relationships can remain volatile long after separation, why the period after a breakup is often the most dangerous, and how unresolved control, resentment, and fixation can escalate into deadly violence. We also discuss the police investigation, family responses, and how detectives evaluate past interactions, communication patterns, and behavioral red flags when domestic violence is suspected. This episode is not about speculation or trial by media. It is about understanding how domestic violence evolves, how law enforcement identifies risk factors, and why recognizing these signs matters—not just for this case, but for prevention in the future. If you follow true crime through a law-enforcement perspective, this episode provides critical insight into how cases like the Tepe murders are investigated—and why domestic violence must always be taken seriously, even when it's no longer visible.

    What if “I do” isn't a choice? We sit down with Hellitz Villegas, Project Manager of the Forced Marriage Initiative at the Tahirih Justice Center, to expose how forced marriage operates in the U.S.—and why consent must include the partner, the timing, and the freedom to say no without fear. We move beyond stereotypes to examine the hidden machinery of coercion: family pressure, spiritual manipulation, financial dependence, and the weaponization of immigration status that keeps survivors silent.Hellitz shares how Tahirih's integrated model—legal services, social services, and policy advocacy—supports immigrant survivors of gender-based violence while the Forced Marriage Initiative serves people facing forced or child marriage across statuses. We clarify the difference between arranged and forced marriage, trace the links to domestic and sexual violence, and highlight the unique vulnerability window before a ceremony when a survivor senses what's coming. The conversation covers high-control religious groups, family-based trafficking, and cases where marriage is used to “correct” a survivor's identity or life choices.We also dive into child marriage in America: why loopholes still allow minors—mostly girls—to wed adult men, the lifelong consequences of early marriage, and the policy momentum to end it. From local bans to the federal Child Marriage Prevention Act, we explore how closing immigration loopholes and setting a bright-line age of 18 with no exceptions can change lives. Along the way, we name the real barriers to help—fear of deportation, mistrust of systems, and cultural stigma—and share practical pathways to safety, rights, and support.If you care about consent, community safety, and human dignity, this is a vital listen.

    Tracy was significantly impacted by legal fees incurred during a severe domestic violence situation, which led to high-interest personal loans due to poor credit. This experience highlighted the reality of financial abuse, a tactic used for power and control. She emphasizes that financial abuse can take many forms, including withholding money or using legal fees as a scare tactic, and that recognizing it is the first step toward healing. Tracy also discovered her need for a personal relationship with money, tracing it back to her parents' poverty and a resulting negative view on finances. She learned that understanding these patterns, often rooted in childhood experiences, is vital for changing financial behavior.

    We open the new year by exposing myths that keep victims unheard and abusers protected: the “nice guy” persona, the anger excuse, the belief that leaving solves everything. With Ruth Guerreiro, Chief Clinical Officer at Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, we walk through the mindsets that drive coercive control and the covert tactics that slip past friends, families, courts, and even clinicians.In this episode, Ruth breaks down recognizable patterns and behaviors of abusive men. From the demand man and Mr. Right to the drill sergeant, the player, and the terrorist, she shows how entitlement fuels different strategies with the same outcome: fear, isolation, and control. We explore social engineering and how a polished public image becomes a weapon in custody disputes and community spaces. You'll also hear why anger management misses the point, how “high conflict” labels mask abuse, and what post‑separation abuse looks like when contact is enforced through parenting apps, daily calls, and court orders.We also get practical. Learn how financial control can hide behind “I'll handle the bills,” why the silent treatment harms more than shouting, how reckless driving is used to terrify, and how location sharing becomes surveillance.

    We are starting our 7th season and asking the question: "What if love wasn't the soft side of this work, but the method that makes healing possible?"We chat again with Nneka MacGregor—co-founder and executive director of WomenatthecentrE, survivor, advocate, and visionary—to explore how love, joy, gratitude, and community connection can transform responses to gender-based violence. Instead of centering punishment that rarely repairs harm or teaches nurturing protective behavior, we examine a path where boundaries are love, accountability restores dignity, and systems are redesigned to reduce violence at its roots.Nneka shares the personal story of surviving an attempted femicide and the vow that shaped her leadership: to live with gratitude, choose joy, and build a world where women and children are safer. From there, we dig into transformative justice—what it is, how it works, and why carceral reflexes often disconnect people from community, dull empathy, and compound and reproduce harm. You'll hear a clear case for accountability that tells the truth, makes repair, and supports real change without throwing people away.Nneka also introduce three bold frameworks that flip misogyny and misogynoir on their heads: amourgyny (love of women, girls, trans, and gender-diverse people), amourgynoir (centering love for Black women, girls, and gender-diverse folks), and amourgenous (centering love for Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people). These ideas are already influencing policy in Canada, offering a practical language for institutions to move beyond retribution into more behaviorally grounded and care-centered design. Along the way, we redefine power as something you hold upright and share—strong, embodied, and unentangled from coercion, control, and violence.If you're a practitioner, policymaker, survivor, or ally, this episode offers a grounded blueprint: lead with love, pair it with firm boundaries, build accountability that repairs, and design systems that center those most harmed.

Mabel met her abuser at a bar and was initially intrigued by his boldness. Despite his persistent boundary violations, Mabel was drawn in by his love bombing and mirroring of her interests. Over time, Mabel's abuser gaslit her, made her feel guilty, and manipulated her into staying. Mabel's story highlights the emotional abuse, guilt, and manipulation she endured, including his attempts to control her through suicide threats and emotional blackmail. It's a story of love bombing, cognitive dissonance, nitpicking, guilt, gaslighting, kernels of truth, manipulation, hoovering, suicide threats, jealousy, infidelity, persistence, boundary pushing, emotional abuse, devaluation, trauma bonding, push-pull relationship, toxic relationship, mirroring, stalking, no contact, self-blame, bad therapists, validation, isolation, and self-worth.If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Mist, wind, the volcanic island of São Miguel, and a hard look at the words and jargon that decide families' futures. We begin in the Azores, Ruth's ancestral home, where arguments for European westward expansion took shape after Bartolomé de Las Casas reported the finding of two “dead” "Amerindian" bodies—and where mainland-imposed poverty, illiteracy, and family separation set conditions that still shape domestic violence today. From that grounding, we pull apart a label that quietly drives child removals, court outcomes, and professional blind spots: “denial.” Across child protection and domestic violence documentation, the phrase “mother is in denial of the impact of domestic violence” appears with alarming regularity—automatically shifting scrutiny onto women in records that determine custody and liberty, while the person causing harm fades from view. The result is compounded harm at both personal and system levels.We trace how this term traveled from early psychoanalysis—where women's reports of sexual violence were recast as inner conflict or sexual turmoil—into today's case notes and court filings. Over time, denial and hysteria morphed into failure to protect and parental alienation, redirecting attention from perpetrators' patterns of violence to mothers' supposed deficits in “controlling” that violence or responding to it. Instead of centering victims' reactions to harm, we argue for real behavioral evidence: name who did what, to whom, with what impact, and what has been tried with the person causing harm. This shift is not cosmetic—yet it changes documentation, supervision, and safety planning, and it guards against wrongful liberty removals and harmful system collusion with perpetrators.You'll hear practical questions that move practice quickly: What did she do or say that led you to that conclusion? What is your specific safety concern about that behavior? These prompts redirect focus from a survivor's inner world to the perpetrator's actions, choices, and behaviors—opening the door to mapping risk to children, cataloging incidents, and designing interventions that actually reduce danger. We also widen the lens to the ecosystem around survivors—family pressure, faith norms, small-island logistics, and economic traps—that make “just leave” dangerous or impossible for many.The invitation is clear: try a week—or a month—without the word denial. Replace labels with behavioral pattern facts.

    Complex trauma is more common than you might think. Many people face a host of significant challenges such as damaging childhood experiences, relationship abuse, and terrifying life events. The impact of traumatic experiences can surely accumulate over time even though we're often unaware of the significant mental, emotional, and physical toll. Sadly, we end up merely "holding it together" as we march forward in survival mode. Yet, when we suppress trauma, the core parts of who we are often starve and wither away. Today, I'm joined by a tremendous complex trauma expert, Dr. Harris, who will help us unravel how anxiety and fear can hold us back--and how to heal and move forward. Topics discussed include somatic experiencing therapy, validation, kindness, healing, empathy, body-based healing, glimmers, stalking, rape, emotional abuse, physical abuse, financial abuse, domestic violence, support, Healing Your Way Home Retreat, secure attachment, insecure attachment, and psychotherapy.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

    Top Stories for December 25th Publish Date: December 25th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, December 25th and Happy birthday to Jimmy Buffett I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Duluth named Georgia's most Hallmark movie-like city Solicitor's Office donates 5K proceeds to help domestic violence victims Salleigh Grubbs appointed to State Election Board Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on holiday foods All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: GCPS Hiring STORY 1: Duluth named Georgia's most Hallmark movie-like city If you’re dreaming of a Hallmark-style Christmas, Gwinnett County’s got you covered—no need to pack your bags. According to The Action Network, three Gwinnett cities made Georgia’s top five most Hallmark-like towns, with Duluth taking the crown as number one. Why Duluth? Think walkable streets, a buzzing town green, and a community that actually shows up—for festivals, concerts, and all the holiday feels. “It’s less about historic landmarks and more about people-driven traditions,” they said. Lawrenceville and Suwanee also made the list, proving Gwinnett’s got that small-town magic—minus the guaranteed snow or last-minute romantic plot twists. STORY 2: Solicitor's Office donates 5K proceeds to help domestic violence victims Three local groups that support domestic violence survivors got a little holiday cheer last week, courtesy of the Gwinnett County Solicitor’s Office. Solicitor General LisaMarie Bristol handed out checks to Mosaic Georgia, the Partnership Against Domestic Violence, and Ahimsa House during a ceremony at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center. The $12,080 came from the office’s third annual Dash 4 Domestic Violence 5K. “This is about more than money—it’s about action,” the office said. The event drew 170 runners, 65 volunteers, and 33 sponsors, raising over $12K to help survivors and their families across Gwinnett. STORY 3: Salleigh Grubbs appointed to State Election Board Former Cobb GOP Chair Salleigh Grubbs has been tapped for the State Election Board, the Georgia Republican Party announced Monday. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones made the appointment, filling the seat left vacant by Rick Jeffares. Grubbs called it a “recess appointment” and said she’s ready to get to work immediately. “Salleigh’s leadership and commitment to election integrity are unmatched,” said Georgia GOP Chair Josh McKoon. A Marietta native, Grubbs has been a vocal advocate for fair elections for years. “I’m honored and humbled,” she said. “This is about transparency, bipartisanship, and making Georgia’s elections better for everyone.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Kia Mall of Georgia - DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Bittersweet: Candymakers navigate tariff, supply chain challenges during holiday season For Jocelyn Dubuke, owner of Jardi Chocolates, 2025 was a gamble. Faced with rising tariffs and supply chain chaos, she spent every dollar of last year’s revenue to stockpile chocolate. Why? To keep her customers from feeling the pinch. “Come January, I told my distributors, ‘Whatever chocolate you’ve got in the States, I want it,’” she said. “I wasn’t about to tell my customers halfway through the year, ‘Oh, by the way, your price just doubled.’” Chocolate’s tricky—rules you can bend, but not break. And with cacao only grown overseas, tariffs hit hard. STORY 5: Brookwood Tops Archer for First Deep South Classic Title in 10 Years Masai Knight spent most of the game dishing out assists—nine of them, to be exact—but his biggest play came when it mattered most. With Brookwood clinging to a four-point lead in the final minute of the Deep South Classic championship, Knight threaded a perfect pass to Grant Dehnke, who scored inside to stretch the lead to six. A defensive stop, a couple of free throws, and that was it—Brookwood sealed a 61-52 win, their first tournament title in a decade. FALCONS: Bijan Robinson was electric, C.J. Henderson clutch, and the Falcons? They held on—barely. Atlanta edged Arizona 26-19 on Sunday, thanks to Henderson’s diving interception with 90 seconds left, slamming the door on the Cardinals’ final drive. Robinson? Unreal. 171 total yards, a touchdown grab, and a spot in Falcons history—just the third player to hit 2,000 scrimmage yards in a season. Not bad company: Jamal Anderson, William Andrews. Arizona? Another heartbreak. Seven straight losses, 12 of their last 13. Brissett’s 203 yards weren’t enough, and a wild Michael Wilson TD catch wasn’t either. Atlanta’s still alive. Barely.
