S6 Ep10: The Torture and Murder of Victoria Climbié - PLEASE READ SHOW NOTES BEFORE LISTENING

This week, I'm joined by my sister, Laura, who is a child protection expert, to discuss the torture and murder of eight-year-old Victoria Climbié. This is the story of an impoverished girl who was plucked from the volatile planes of the Ivory Coast with the promise of a new life in Europe. A life filled with luxury and opportunity. What followed, however, was a living nightmare. Just fifteen months after being rescued from her homeland, Victoria would lie dead in her bed in the intensive care unit of St Mary’s Hospital in London – the victim of one of the worst cases of child abuse in this country’s history. **Please note, despite spending an hour doing sound checks, we still managed to mess up the recording a bit! If you listen through headphones, when Laura speaks, the sound levels will appear distorted and you will only hear her in your left headphone (if you listen through your device's speaker(s), it will be fine, you'll barely notice). When I speak, which is the vast majority of the episode, it's fine, there's no distortion.** www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast Show Sponsors: www.beer52.com/RED www.issuu.com/podcast - use code RED at checkout for 50% off Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears - check out her work at www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.
