    Alabama has a 60-mile coastline along the Gulf of Mexico. A simple Google search confirms this. Why did you all claim that Alabama is a landlocked state?

  • Ads too loud

    The ads are getting louder and louder. It often gives me a startle when they starts suddenly in the middle of conversation, which is very off putting.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anastasia Was Left Unable To Sit. Her Attacker Didn’t Spend A Single Night In A Cell.
Q: What is your message to that person that is raped tomorrow? How do they handle this? How do they get through it?
Treharne says there is no single right choice about reporting. She recommends finding trusted support and protecting oneself, including considering independent legal advice, while acknowledging that lawyers can be unaffordable.
Anastasia Was Left Unable To Sit. Her Attacker Didn’t Spend A Single Night In A Cell.
Q: Did that feel like justice for you at the time?
Treharne says the five-year sentence did not feel like enough, and she was devastated when the perpetrator was released on parole without her being notified or given the chance to speak at the hearing.
Kristi Locked Up Paedophiles For 10 Years. This Is What She Learnt.
Q: So what does grooming of a child look like?
McVee describes grooming as initially feeling rewarding or special, then becoming uncomfortable. She recommends helping children identify early warning signs, understand bodily boundaries, and tell a trusted adult when something feels wrong.
Kristi Locked Up Paedophiles For 10 Years. This Is What She Learnt.
Q: What were the biggest challenges you found interviewing children?
McVee says it was difficult to interview children who were the same age as her daughter and to know that children might be unable to disclose abuse. Investigations often depend heavily on a child's disclosure, which can be impeded when the child does not feel safe.

Q: What was his basic story that he was telling people about what happened underwater?
Watson said Tina grabbed his regulator and mask, that he tried to find a second air supply, and that he went to the surface for help when she began falling. Simpson says experienced divers questioned this account and that his training should have enabled him to assist Tina.
