Jake Haro Case: Castration, Competency Tests & Child Safety: Should Society Go Further?
Jake Haro Case: Castration, Competency Tests & Child Safety: Should Society Go Further? What does it mean to have the capacity to parent? In this gripping segment, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott wrestle with the uncomfortable truth: not everyone can or should be raising children. The Haro case sparks a brutally honest conversation about America’s obsession with “positive thinking” — the idea that anyone can change if they just try. But when it comes to protecting kids, blind faith is a death sentence. Jake Haro attended parenting classes, checked the required boxes, and was rated “low risk.” Weeks later, his baby was dead. Tony and Shavaun explore the difference between positive thinking and magical thinking, questioning why courts continue to assume abusers can be rehabilitated with a weekend class or compliance checklist. The discussion veers into dystopian territory — competency tests for reproduction, mandatory castration for repeat abusers — but the underlying point is serious: we are giving violent, unfit parents chance after chance, while children pay the price. This segment is provocative, raw, and absolutely necessary. It challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable questions about parental rights, societal responsibility, and whether protecting children should come before protecting the freedom of abusers.

Why Was Jake Haro Free? A Baby’s Death That Should Never Have Happened
Why Was Jake Haro Free? A Baby’s Death That Should Never Have Happened In this powerful segment of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to examine one of the most heartbreaking cases in recent memory — the death of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro. Prosecutors say Emmanuel’s father, Jake Harro, killed him despite the fact that just two years earlier he had fractured the skull, spine, and bones of another infant. Instead of serving prison time, Jake was given probation. That decision allowed him to father more children and ultimately left Emmanuel vulnerable to the same abuse that nearly killed his sister. Emmanuel’s death is not just the story of one violent man — it’s the story of a system that prioritized rehabilitation over protection, compliance over real safety. Tony and Shavaun dig deep into how judges, child protective services, and probation officers rely on half-hearted checklists and paperwork rather than real assessments of danger. They trace the history of child protection laws in the U.S., from the shocking fact that animals were protected under law before children, to the modern-day failures that leave thousands of kids at risk. This conversation exposes the cracks in a system that too often waits until children are dead or permanently maimed before acting.

In this Big Breakdown, we look at reports of paranoia, weight loss, eerie silence, and obsessive pacing in his cell. He’s isolated, under constant watch, and sources say his mental state is slipping fast. Is the pressure of trial breaking him down—or was he already unraveling? We dig into his behavior, jailhouse sources, and what experts say could come next. Drop your thoughts in the comments—do YOU think he’s losing it?

Why Do People Still Defend Kohberger? + FBI Apartment Breakdown
Why Do People Still Defend Kohberger? + FBI Apartment Breakdown In this extended final segment, the hosts wrap up their raw live discussion on Kohberger before handing the mic to retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer for a chilling deep dive. First, Tony, Stacy, and Todd tackle the culture of Kohberger defenders — people still making excuses online, ignoring mountains of evidence. Tony unleashes on the dangers of sympathy for predators, questioning what it says about those defending him. The group ties this into numerology theories — how Kohberger may have chosen dates, addresses, and timing as part of a narcissistic “signature.” Then, Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to unpack newly released photos from Kohberger’s apartment and office. What investigators found was disturbing: stripped walls, minimalist spaces, cleaning supplies, birthday cards, blood traces, and even bear spray. Coffindaffer outlines her “hidey hole” theory — that Kohberger stashed the knife and clothing in secluded areas, similar to Ted Bundy revisiting crime scene trophies. The result is a gripping combination of live banter and expert analysis, tying together narcissism, numerology, forensic details, and FBI insight into what might still be hidden out there.
