Her only mistake was picking up the phone. That’s it. She didn’t know it was the bully’s boyfriend calling her. This “mistake” almost cost her her life.She was dragged into a karaoke bar - beaten to an inch of her life. Then later, dragged into an alleyway near an abandoned factory where she was beaten by 5 bullies. They assaulted her for hours until she was drenched in blood, and the whole thing was caught on CCTV.She barely made it out alive but her nightmare was just beginning. These photos started to circulate in her high school and the victim was taunted for the fact that she was tortured.That’s just the story of one victim. Another victim was burned all over her body with a hair straightener. Another one was lit on fire for his birthday as a “celebratory candle.”These are the real-life school violence stories that inspired the K-Drama “The Glory.”Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

He got on his knees in front of a tray of food he had prepared.Police immediately swarmed him, demanding he leave right away. Nobody was supposed to be in the alley, not after what had happened there.The man yelled at the police - “don’t you dare touch the food. Don’t touch it. Please you have to let me do this. The kids need to eat one last meal.”159 young souls had tragically died in that little alleyway. The man had desperately tried to save them.Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rotten Mango Visual: https://www.youtube.com/@rottenmangopodThe suburban house sat amongst the others that looked just like it. There was something different about this one. All the windows of the house were covered in dark cloth. Even the front door was covered by a giant black curtain. The neighbors wondered what secrets the new neighbors were hiding. Perhaps an illegal gambling ring? A brothel?The world was shocked to see two stainless steel pots being carried out from that house with human remains found inside. Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

He stomped the snow off his boots; the ice storm had no mercy on this town. It was nearly 3:30 in the morning, and the officer had somewhere important to be. He knocked on the woman’s door and followed her down into her basement.She didn’t even seem to notice the chill in the air. It seemed like she was distracted. Like she had seen something far more scarier than a relentless winter storm.Tara explained she came down into the basement and saw her son like this. She glanced down, the officer squatted and peeled back the bath towel. There, staring up at him. Was the severed head of Tara’s son sitting in a black bucket.The details of this case would lead everyone to believe a female Jeffrey Dahmer was on the loose.Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Why was her daughter’s body being held in a foreign coroner’s medical office? Why were these so-called “friends” lying about her daughter’s death? Who needs enemies when you have friends like these?Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
