  • To scripted

    I like the show and I love how she’s speaking out and advocating for the children but as the show goes I really wish she didn’t read from a script all the time I want to feel her connection and her actual opinion in these cases but I feel like it’s to scripted

  • Parents Surviving Filicide Speak

    As a fellow parent who survived my eldest son being a Filicide victim I commend any and every parent who walks in similar shoes daily living with that pain. Hope it is a honor to leave this review as you continue to spread awareness of Filicide in honor of your sweet babies and sharing your truth can be difficult sometimes so sharing it and publicly is always something that should be applauded.
