"When you get stabbed in the manner that he was, you're going to be out in seconds."On the evening of 30 August 2025, tens of thousands of people gathered around a seventy foot wooden figure that was slowly being engulfed in flame. It was the culmination of Burning Man, an annual festival held in Nevada's Black Rock Desert that is centered around concepts like radical self reliance and self expression. Participants are encouraged to help in the building of the temporary city that is the foundation of the entire festival, and urge to leave behind no trace when it's all over.But on this night, as the flames start to climb, a Pershing County Sheriff's deputy working the perimeter gets flagged down by a participant with a very different kind of urgency in their voice...If you have any information about this story that you'd like to share, please contact:Pershing Co.

"Perpetrator and victim drove out almost daily in the late evening hours in a vehicle and later returned."In the summer of 2006, Germany was hosting the World Cup. Cities and towns throughout the country were energized, and on the evening of 20 June 2006, 21-year-old nursing student Frauke Liebs went to a pub in the city of Paderborn to watch the England-Sweden match with friends. While there, she visited and texted until her phone battery died. She stayed until just after 11:00 PM, then headed home with less than five euros in her pocket.The walk home was a little over a kilometer and a half. It should have taken her fifteen minutes or so, and on a warm summer evening with the streets lit up by the glow of the World Cup, no less. But she never made it home and nobody saw her walking that night. Yet over the next week, her loved ones would receive strange phone calls and texts from Frauke, claiming that she'd be home soon...Check out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.

What happens when someone hurts us? Jesus' instructions in Matthew 18:15–20 offer a surprisingly practical approach to conflict, accountability, and reconciliation. Peter Walsh and Rob Schwartz discuss why talking TO someone matters more than talking ABOUT them, how storytelling can break down tribal divisions, and why the goal of confrontation is less about winning the argument and more about regaining the person.Questions for ReflectionThemes & ApplicationJesus gives a remarkably practical, step-by-step process for dealing with conflict: begin with the person rather than beginning with an audience. Why is our instinct so often to tell other people about a conflict before speaking directly to the person involved? What might change if we actually followed Jesus' order of operations?Immediately before this passage, Jesus tells the Parable of the Lost Sheep, in which the shepherd refuses to accept losing even one member of the flock. How does that story change the way we hear Jesus' instructions about confronting someone who has sinned? What does it suggest about the ultimate purpose of accountability and church discipline?The episode repeatedly distinguishes reconciliation from proving who is right. What would change in our families, churches, workplaces, friendships, or political conversations if our primary question became “How can this relationship be healed?” rather than “How can I prove my position?”Personal ReflectionRob suggests that as long as he continues carrying resentment toward someone, he remains bound to that person. Have you ever discovered that anger or resentment was keeping you emotionally connected to someone long after the original conflict ended? What might it mean to be “loosed” from that relationship without pretending the hurt never happened?Peter discusses the ways our minds can develop deeply ingrained responses to people and ideas until we stop actually listening. Who are you most likely to stop listening to because you believe you already know what they are going to say? What would genuine curiosity toward that person require?Peter and Rob playfully use sports rivalries to illustrate our instinct toward tribal identity. What tribes do you belong to? When does belonging become a way of deciding who is “us” and who is “them”?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsPeter explores different Christian understandings of excommunication and church discipline, from Roman Catholicism and the Southern Baptist Convention to the Episcopal tradition. What is the proper role of boundaries within a Christian community? Can excluding someone ever serve the larger goal of reconciliation?Peter observes that “casting people out of the community doesn't cast out the trauma.” What is the difference between removing a person and actually healing what happened? How can communities maintain necessary boundaries without imagining that exclusion itself creates healing?Jesus concludes this teaching with “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” We often quote this verse about small worship gatherings, but here it appears in the middle of a teaching about conflict and reconciliation. What might it mean to believe that Christ is especially present between people attempting the difficult work of reconciliation?References & ResourcesVocabularyEcclesia (ἐκκλησία) — A Greek word meaning an assembly or gathering, commonly translated as “church.”Excommunication — Exclusion from communion or participation within a religious community. Narrative Theology — An approach that recognizes story and lived experience as important ways of understanding God, ourselves, and one another.Restorative Justice & ReconciliationSouth African Truth and Reconciliation Commission — A court-like restorative justice body assembled in South Africa in 1996 after the end of apartheid. Authorised by Nelson Mandela and chaired by Desmond Tutu, the commission invited witnesses who were identified as victims of gross human rights violations to give statements about their experiences, and selected some for public hearings.

Sometimes a single data point tells a story that cries out for our attention, reflection and action. In California, 35,000 people, two thirds of whom are Black and Brown, are serving life sentences in the state's prison system. Nationally, 200,000 men and women are serving life sentences, one of every 6 prisoners overall. And while the criminal justice system is long overdue for structural reform, we also need to examine, name and repair both the public systems, from housing to healthcare, that fail to meet basic needs and our societal failure to intervene when young people are struggling and showing signs of distress. It is the life's work of Keith Wattley, my guest on this episode of Power Station, to provide prisoners who have served decades behind bars with the legal and therapeutic interventions they did not receive earlier in life. Doing so uncovers that the violence and trauma they experienced led them to perpetrate violence on others. Uncommon Law, the game changing nonprofit organization that he founded 20 years ago makes navigating California's parole process and a pathway home possible. Imagine, as Keith says, if we all had the right to heal.

Hunter is joined by Liz Ortenburger, the CEO of Safe Nest. Liz and her team at Safe Nest operate a shelter and aid center for victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. As Liz sees it, the conventional approach to domestic violence, policing and incarceration, is simply insufficient to end the cycles of violence that lead to domestic violence. Liz joined the show to discuss the different approach Safe Nest takes to try and eradicate domestic violence.   Guest: Liz Ortenburger, CEO, Safe Nest, Clark County, Nevada   Resource: Check out Safe Nest Here https://safenest.org/   Contact Hunter Parnell:      Publicdefenseless@gmail.com   Instagram: @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter: @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patreon:  www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal:  https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe:  https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN   Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

Most AI in social services promises efficiency and speed. The Safe & Together Institute cares about something much harder: helping practitioners make behaviourally accurate, domestic abuse–informed decisions when the stakes are child safety, custody, and survivors' lives.In this special episode, Safe & Together Institute cofounders Ruth Reymundo and David Mandel introduce what they've spent the past year building: the Safe & Together Digital Coach and Insight Engine. Developed through SafetyNexus—their technology development company and sister organisation to the Safe & Together Institute—this guardrailed, practice-first AI platform is designed to help professionals apply the Safe & Together Model long after the training ends.The conversation begins with a moment many practitioners know well. You leave training energised and inspired. Then you return to a desk full of complex cases, competing priorities, limited supervision, and organisational pressures. Suddenly, applying what seemed so clear in the training room becomes much harder.The Digital Coach is designed to bridge that gap. Acting as an on-demand Safe & Together–trained guide, it helps practitioners map perpetrator patterns, strengthen survivor partnership, document child impact, prepare court-ready communication, practice difficult conversations through private role-play, and work through challenging cases without losing sight of perpetrator accountability.Ruth also shares the founder story behind SafetyNexus—what frightened her as she watched social-care systems rapidly adopt AI, and why, as a survivor, she believes technology must never reinforce victim-blaming, perpetrator invisibility, or biased decision-making. Together, she and David explain how the platform's guardrails, survivor governance, and practice framework set it apart from generic copilots, transcription software, and "shadow AI" tools.The episode also explores the Insight Engine, which helps practitioners, supervisors, and leaders identify practice-quality trends, strengthen supervision, measure improvement over time, and better understand the real impact of their work—without replacing professional judgement or turning AI into the decision-maker. Along the way, Ruth and David discuss governance, ethics, worker wellbeing, and why responsible AI should support—not replace—the relationships, critical thinking, and accountability that good practice depends on.If you're curious about what responsible AI can look like in child protection and domestic abuse practice, listen now, share the episode with a colleague, and let us know what you'd want a digital coach to help you do next.Send us Fan Mail Now available!

Luke Grant speaks with Bruce Morcombe, father of 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe, who was abducted and murdered in 2003. The Morcombe family has co-written an extraordinary letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, calling for a national childcare perpetrator registry. This registry would allow parents to see which childcare centres alleged abusers may have worked at once they have been charged.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listen to Part 1 with Alena here. In 2000, Alena Turley was held at knifepoint by a man she had previously been in a relationship with. The terrifying incident left her with PTSD and lasting trauma. Alena was able to disarm him that night, but what might have happened if she hadn’t? In these two special episodes of True Crime Conversations, we’re exploring something rarely heard in true crime storytelling. With Alena’s blessing, we sit down with her to talk about the relationship, the warning signs, and the traumatic night that changed her life. We’ve also invited the person responsible for the crime, who we’ll refer to by the pseudonym Kai, to answer the questions we rarely get the chance to ask the person on the other side of the crime. This isn’t about justification or excuses. It’s about accountability, examining what happened, and trying to better understand the complex realities behind an act of violence.

Is working with your partner a recipe for exploitation or one of the healthiest ways to build a meaningful, independent, well-resourced life? Many people hear "family business" or "couples in business" and think nepotism, blurred boundaries, and women being taken advantage of. Ruth and David are joined by Rigour and Flow hosts Aiwan Obinyan, filmmaker and founder of AiAi Studios, and Dr. Tamanda Walker, sociologist, researcher, and co-founder of research consultancy Roots and Rigour. These two couples who build businesses together talk candidly about what makes shared work healthy or extractive.They dig into cultural differences in work: why family business is honoured in Nigerian, Botswanan, and Latin traditions rather than treated as a red flag and how social, family, and religious conditioning can turn work into identity, compulsion, or escape. They separate work that's extractive from work that's additive and question the "we're a family" language corporations use to mask power dynamics, abuse, and exploitation. The four discuss how gender and sexuality shape how each couple is read differently. For a man and a woman working together, the suspicion is nepotism and a woman assumed to be there only because of her partner. For a same-sex couple, the calculus shifts: as two Black queer women, Aiwan and Tamanda expected heavy backlash but found it came more around race, colorism, and truth-telling about the exploitation of African people rather than gender. And they found that their partnership can sometimes be idiolised as the progressive representation people are hungry for. Underneath both is a shared commitment to telling the truth in partnership, even when it's uncomfortable.The two couples close with the work-life boundaries that actually protect the relationship and the rest: living by agreement, renegotiating those agreements as life changes, staying free to change roles rather than being reduced to a role and a task, and even establishing safe words for shutting down shop talk.If you've ever thought mixing love and business is dangerous, or you're building a mission-driven company, family business, or podcast with your partner and want healthy work-life boundaries, this one is for you. Subscribe, follow Rigour and Flow, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Send us Fan Mail Now available!

Reproductive coercion rarely announces itself with a dramatic confession. More often, it shows up as a pause in the exam room, a quiet "I don't really have a choice," or a new mom who seems exhausted beyond what postpartum should demand. Ruth and David sit down with LC De Shay (also known as the Digital Dominatrix), an international gender and migration psychosocial analyst, reproductive health specialist, and full spectrum doula, to name what so many families are living through and what too many systems still fail to catch. They dig into the behavioural landscape of coercive control around sex, contraception, pregnancy, and parenting, including why survivors may not recognise or disclose coercion without the right language and the right questions. LC shares how clinicians can miss obvious signals when screening becomes a checkbox and why open-ended, concrete prompts can surface what "Do you feel safe?" never will. Ruth, David, and LC also talk about the perinatal period and postpartum window as a time of elevated domestic violence risk and how partner behaviour can shape maternal health, breastfeeding, infant feeding, and child development while professionals keep placing responsibility on mothers alone. From migration-related vulnerability to workplace pressure, from school systems to child welfare responses, David, Ruth, and LC map the "whirlpool" of entrapment that keeps people stuck. They also confront how high-control religion, Quiverfull culture, and trad wife messaging can frame reproductive coercion as virtue, while "progressive" judgment can unintentionally shove survivors back into isolating communities. And they make space for a crucial nuance: Men's pain under patriarchy can be real, but it never justifies violence, and accountability means redirecting anger upstream rather than dumping it onto women and children. If you care about reproductive safety, health, autonomy, trauma-informed care, maternal health, and practical domestic violence prevention, this conversation gives you language you can use today. Share this post with a provider or advocate to spread the word.Send us Fan Mail Now available!

Eight-year-old Navin Jones should have been safe. Instead, by the time first responders entered a Peoria home, they were stepping into the end of a story filled with warning signs, missed chances, and questions no one should ever have to ask about a child.

What if the most important fact about your partner's violence risk is sitting in a police database you can't access? In this episode, David and Ruth dig into Clare's Law, the UK's domestic violence disclosure scheme, with researcher Dr. Katerina Hadjimatheou, and they get honest about what information sharing can do when coercive control runs on secrecy, grooming, and lies. They talk about why convictions alone rarely tell the full story, how serial perpetrators move from relationship to relationship, and why survivors often say a disclosure helps them finally see the pattern and stop blaming themselves.Ruth, David, and Dr. Hadjimatheou also compare two very different real-world implementations: England and Wales, where the experience can be inconsistent and sometimes isolating, and South Australia, where a specialist domestic violence service wraps disclosure in a trauma-informed support process. That difference matters. Many people requesting disclosures have never contacted a domestic violence service before, so the moment of disclosure can either become a doorway to safety planning and autonomy or a terrifying information drop with nowhere to put it.Then they name the hard part: systems can misuse a safeguarding tool. They unpack how child protection agencies can pressure mothers to seek disclosures and turn results into a “test,” and they discuss risks like mislabeling and perpetrators gaming the system. If we want disclosure schemes to improve survivor safety and perpetrator accountability, we have to design them around consent, support, and pattern-based understanding.Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave us a review: where should disclosure sit in your community's approach to domestic abuse?Send us Fan Mail Now available!

A coercive control law can be groundbreaking and still leave survivors asking, “Why doesn't life feel safer?”David and Ruth are joined by Dr. Marsha Scott, CEO of Scottish Women's Aid, to talk about Scotland's hard-won reforms and the uncomfortable truth behind them: Legal change is only the beginning, and implementation is where domestic abuse reform succeeds or fails. They dig into what makes Scotland's coercive control framework so influential, including its course of conduct focus and why impact matters more than trying to read a perpetrator's “intent.” Dr. Scott shares what the law has changed in public understanding and what has not changed yet in courts, sentencing, and survivor trust. Ruth, David, and Dr. Scott also get practical about what closes the implementation gap: infrastructure, better evidence, skilled supervision, and real accountability when systems keep defaulting to old habits. Then they turn to family court, child protection, and child contact decision-making, where children's rights can get lost and where poor documentation can make the perpetrator disappear while the survivor is judged through a deficit lens. They talk about reports, mental health models, and what it takes to pivot practice toward perpetrator patterns as parenting behaviours with measurable harm to kids. If you care about coercive control, children's safety, and systems change that actually sticks, hit subscribe, share the episode with a colleague, and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Send us Fan Mail Now available!

Report from John Cooke

Perpetrators of child sexual abuse tell victims to keep the secret. And many times victims feel the abuse is their fault. The pain and scars of childhood sexual abuse last long into your adult years, but many hang onto that secret. Now, a new documentary film has been produced called Innocent Child: Healing for Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse. Steve Siler and Becky Nordquist join us to talk about it on Chris Fabry Live.

HCMC and The Violence Prevention Project teamed up and compared hospital data with homicide data in Minneapolis. They found from 2013 to 2022, that 1 in 50 people admitted to HCMC with a violent trauma injury, ended up later involved in a homicide, as a victim or perpetrator. Joining Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to dig into the data is two authors of the study. Jillian Peterson is with the executive director of The Violence Prevention Project and Dr. Derek Lumbard is a trauma surgeon at HCMC.

If your picture of domestic abuse is still “bigger person equals perpetrator,” that assumption can derail safety planning in minutes, especially in same-sex relationships and LGBTQ families. In this episode, Ruth and David sit down with Dr. James Rowlands, sociologist and founder of the Dyn Project, to explore what actually helps practitioners identify abuse more accurately: tracking patterns of coercive control, listening for fear and entrapment, and documenting real behaviours instead of relying on identity-based assumptions.Ruth, David, and Dr. Rowlands unpack the tension many professionals feel between maintaining a gender-based violence lens, recognising gendered double standards, and being inclusive of queer survivors and male victims. While “gender-neutral” approaches can sound fair, they can also flatten power dynamics, erase social context, and obscure the role gender norms play in abusive relationships.Together, they examine the “public story” that often steers professionals toward proxies like size, presentation, or stereotypes instead of evidence-based assessment. They also discuss how abuse tactics can look different in LGBTQ relationships, where outing, community stigma, and questions around “who counts as queer” can become tools of coercion and control.The conversation gets practical, too. David, Ruth, and Dr. Rowlands explore why LGBTQ survivors are often missed in MARAC referrals, how generic risk checklists fail without LGBTQ-specific prompts, and what domestic homicide and death reviews can get wrong when queerness is treated as the explanation rather than focusing on perpetrator behaviour and systemic failures.They close with concrete questions practitioners can ask to build trust with survivors, along with guidance for navigating biased or unsafe professional responses.Subscribe, share this with a colleague or friend, and leave a review so more people can find these tools.

Can you think of a moment that turned your life into ‘before’ and ‘after’? For Reuben Williams, that moment was not his sexual assault, rather, the decision he made in the aftermath to pursue justice.

Systems don't just “break” on their own. They do what they were designed to do, and too often that means extracting money, labor, and dignity while claiming to keep us safe. In this episode, David and Ruth sit down with Trisha McOrmond, a Red River Métis systems thinker, to explore what it means to navigate belonging when it's been fractured by family separation, colonisation, and institutions. They talk about the tension of feeling responsible to advocate, serve, and tell the truth without speaking for an entire community. They dig into why speaking from “I” and lived experience isn't selfish, it's accountable, and how the “royal we” can obscure harm in leadership, training, and professional spaces.Trisha shares what decolonising thinking means to her: shifting from a scarcity worldview—where you “arrive here wanting” and must prove your worth—to a relational one, where you “arrive here wanted,” and community organises around care, children, elders, and basic needs. That shift reshapes how we understand capitalism, business as service, and the subtle ways institutions protect capital, property, and liability over people.They also connect these ideas to domestic violence and child welfare systems. David, Ruth, and Trisha explore how deficit-based frameworks get weaponised against victims and targeted communities, how DARVO shows up at scale, and why asking “what will make this better?” can sometimes open doors that “what will make you safer?” closes.If you care about systems change, targeted communities, First Nations perspectives, institutional trust, and building safety through relationships, this conversation is for you.Subscribe, share this with someone doing hard systems work, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Send us Fan Mail Now available!

Thirty-two years after the genocide in Rwanda, the country is undetaking its most sensitive task yet: reintegrating the last remaining perpetrators into the very heart of the lands where they once committed murder. Those walking out of prison today are often those who have served their full 30-year sentences. The challenge is daunting: how can these men and women be transformed into productive citizens within a society that has changed so radically? Our correspondent Aurore Bayoud reports, with Tom Canetti.

Two Duggar brothers are facing criminal charges. One is in federal prison. Their father has faced no legal consequences. The organization that produced this family is still running. And a 14-year-old girl is in the middle of an active criminal investigation involving one of the most recognized families in reality television history.In this complete three-part series from Hidden Killers and True Crime Today, hosts Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke sit down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to examine every dimension of the Duggar story that the crime reports don't cover. Scott is a thirty-year licensed clinician specializing in trauma recovery, forensic psychology, and the psychology of violent behavior — and a survivor of fundamentalist religious upbringing herself.Part 1 covers the system. IBLP's doctrine, control mechanisms, and what they were designed to produce — examined by someone who lived inside a system like it and has spent thirty years helping people recover from them.Part 2 covers the men. Josh, Joseph, and Jim Bob Duggar through a forensic clinical lens. What do their patterns reveal? What does the research say about offenders who receive faith-based handling instead of clinical treatment? What keeps the women in their lives inside a world that has produced these outcomes?Part 3 covers the survivors. What recovery actually takes. What the people most affected by this week's events need right now. And what hundreds of thousands of former IBLP members — who have been saying this for years — need from this moment.Three parts.

The most useful conference debriefs aren't about highlights, they're about what shifts in you when you listen closely. From the Sydney coast, we wrap up a three-and-a-half-week Asia-Pacific tour and talk through the moments that changed the temperature in the room at our Coercive Control and Children's Conference. We start with gratitude, acknowledgement of unceded Aboriginal land, and the reality that building safer systems means showing up with humility, not just expertise.One of the biggest breakthroughs we share is our commitment to localized training and culturally responsive practice. We premiered a new Australia-based training film designed to teach coercive control as a pattern over time, centered in a perinatal scenario that follows a family before and after a child is born. With Australian actors, filmmakers, consultation from cultural experts, and survivor input, the film is built to help professionals recognize subtle tactics, see cumulative harm, and respond in ways that strengthen child safety and survivor safety rather than repeating harmful system habits.We also get into the harder conversations that practitioners can't avoid: men's health, masculinity, and accountability. We talk about why supporting men and boys can't come at the cost of women and children, and why we have to operationalize that promise instead of offering lip service. In the Australian context, we connect family violence practice with the impacts of colonization, racism, intergenerational trauma, and family separation, while staying clear that healing requires stopping abusive behavior. Along the way, we reflect on survivor voices, workforce wellbeing, and the need for non-extractive organizational cultures.Finally, we dig into the practical lever that can change outcomes in family law: pattern-based documentation. We share why judicial leaders describe this kind of documentation as “gold,” and how the Safety Nexus tool supports workers with coaching, mapping, and better notes when stakes are life-or-death. If you care about coercive control, domestic violence response, child protection, and safer systems, this conversation gives you language you can use tomorrow.

One of the most salacious and storied methods of KGB spycraft during the Cold War was the honey trap. Agents would get an informant to seduce a target, usually a Westerner deemed important. Then use that encounter as blackmail. We're all aware of this thanks to movies and television. What we know nothing about are same-sex honey traps. The KGB's use of homosexual men to seduce other men, whether said men were gay or not. Officials, academics, businessmen and other power positions were targets. How do we know about these operations? Well, because of the intrepid research of historian Irina Roldugina. Roldugina got access to KGB files related to same-sex operations and found more information in, of all things, declassified US government documents related to the Kennedy Assassination. How did these operations work? Who did the KGB tap for same-sex seduction? What do these documents tell us? And what did the KGB think of homosexuality in general? The Eurasian Knot spoke to Irina about her recent article, “The Cold War and the Soviet KGB's Same-Sex Entrapment Operations in the 1950s and 1960s: The Perpetrator in Focus” published in the Fall 2025 issue of Journal of Cold War Studies. Guest:Irina Roldugina is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the School of Modern Languages at the University of Bristol. She's the author of several articles on queer history in the Soviet Union. Her most recent is “The Cold War and the Soviet KGB's Same-Sex Entrapment Operations in the 1950s and 1960s: The Perpetrator in Focus” published in the Fall 2025 issue of Journal of Cold War Studies.

Domestic abuse gets dangerously easy to miss when our systems can only imagine one story about who victims are and what abuse looks like. We sit down with Luke Martin, a UK-based domestic abuse trainer, consultant, and independent victim advocate, to talk about the people most likely to be misunderstood in plain sight: LGBTQ+ survivors, including those in same-sex relationships, who face bias and system failures when seeking assistance for intimate partner violence.We dig into why an incident-based approach can flatten the reality of coercive control, especially when LGBTQ+ survivors fear the very systems they're told to rely on—for good reason. Luke connects the dots between familial abuse, child maltreatment, conversion practices, homelessness, and the long shadow those experiences cast over adult relationships. We also talk about isolation in queer communities, chosen family, shared friend groups, and the real-world barriers to leaving when leaving means losing identity, housing, or every safe connection you have.Along the way, we challenge gender stereotypes that lead professionals to arrest the “more masculine” partner, ignore violence in lesbian relationships, or assume men cannot be afraid. We explore consent, kink, and chemsex risks, and we offer practical ways to ask better questions: how someone describes their gender, relationship, and sexuality and how to keep that door open over time without pressure.If you care about domestic abuse–informed, trauma-informed practice, domestic violence services, survivor-centred safety planning, and LGBTQ-inclusive responses, listen through and share it with a colleague.Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: What is the biggest change you want to see in domestic abuse systems?Send a text Now available!

Artificial intelligence is already in social work and child protection, and its use is deepening. The question is: How safe, effective, and equitable is it? In this episode, David and Ruth talk with Dr. LaSharia Turner and Dr. Helen Fischle from Alabama A&M University about what ethical, human-centered, AI-driven tech should look like in social work education and frontline practice.As agencies face workforce shortages, austerity, high caseloads, and increasing complexity, technology is being introduced as a solution. But can AI actually support domestic violence–informed practice when child safety is on the line? Or does it risk automating bias, victim-blaming, erasing survivor context, and shifting responsibility away from systems and perpetrators as parents?We explore:What “human-centered” AI really means in child welfareThe risks of predictive tools and automationWhy social workers must have a seat at the technology tableHow to prevent tech from increasing survivor and worker burdenThe future of ethical innovation in high-stakes systemsIf you work in child protection, domestic violence services, family courts, behavioral health, or policy, this conversation is for you.Technology should enhance professional judgment—not replace it.Send a text Now available!

In this episode I'll be sharing a few times that people went about their own lives only to find out they weren't truly alone. Phrogging (pronounced "frogging") is the act of secretly living in another person's home without their knowledge or permission. Perpetrators, known as "phrogs," often hide in unused spaces like attics, basements, or crawlspaces for extended periods. This illegal activity,, which is often associated with finding free housing, involves navigating an occupied home while remaining undetectedTimestampsIntro : (00:00)Drink Intermission : (13:02) The Knocking : (14:04) Outro : (56:14)BUY MERCHSUBMIT YOUR SCARY STORYFOLLOW MEhttps://www.boozeandboos.net/ Join My Discord! https://discord.gg/sMUtpDwJADStories Found & Edited By : Zack Graham SUPPORT HIM & BUY HIS BOOKS :) Mogollon Monsters - https://a.co/d/d2BHQCPGhosts of Gravsmith - https://a.co/d/ahThYHA ►[ Intro & Background Ambience] - Niko & https://www.youtube.com/@UC-dIpawoAP9T9ccC0tgb-xw ►[《 Background Music

What happens inside a mind that allegedly can't let go for eight years?Michael McKee and Monique Tepe were married for two years on paper but lived together for roughly seven months before she fled. Family members describe emotional abuse and death threats during those brief months together. Eight years later, prosecutors allege McKee drove six hours to Columbus, entered the Tepe home without forced entry, and shot Monique and her husband Spencer to death while their children slept nearby.In this episode — Part 1 of our three-part interview series — psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychology of the alleged obsessive ex-partner. With over thirty years of experience working with perpetrators and victims of violence, and as the author of "The Minds of Mass Killers," Shavaun brings clinical expertise to the questions this case raises.Why does someone allegedly nurse a grievance for nearly a decade over a relationship that lasted less than a year? How does a successful surgeon allegedly compartmentalize obsession while maintaining a high-functioning career? What role does the victim's visible happiness — a new marriage, children, a thriving life — play in allegedly triggering violence? And what's the internal narrative that allegedly justifies years of fixation?This is the psychology behind the headlines.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #WoundCollector #ShavaunScott #TrueCrime #DomesticViolence #HiddenKillers #PerpPsychology #ColumbusJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 THE YELLOW CREEK MASSACRE AND THE TRUE PERPETRATORS Colleague Robert G. Parkinson. This segment details the chaotic environment following the British withdrawal from Fort Pitt, which created a power vacuum and a border war between Pennsylvania and Virginia. Amidst this tension, the Yellow Creek massacre occurred on April 30, 1774, where settlers lured Logan's family—including his mother, brother, and sister—into a tavern and murdered them. Parkinson confirms that Michael Cresap was not present during the slaughter; he had retreated to Catfish Campdays earlier. The actual perpetrators were men like Daniel Greathouse, not the Cresaps, though Logan remained unaware of this. NUMBER 3
