  • Heroes

    It is difficult to prepare your mind for the depravity discussed in this podcast.

    The investigators, journalists and law enforcement are absolute heroes doing work that should never have to be done. God bless them and I pray for overwhelming positive impact by their work in the horror that is child abuse.

    Extremely well done podcast on such a difficult topic.
