In this episode, I’ll finish telling you Raylee’s story, going into detail about the testimony given during the criminal trial of Raylee’s father, Marty Browning Jr.; his then-girlfriend, Julie Titchenell; and Julie’s sister, Sherie Titchenell.

I’ll also share with you a little about who Raylee JoLynn Browning was, mainly through her loving mommy’s recollections of her.This is part three of the harrowing story of Raylee Browning."[Music Box Cover] You Are My Sunshine" by @Musicbox cover is licensed under CC BY 4.0.Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.

Episode 189: Raylee Browning, Retold (Part 2)
Get Magic Mind’s “24-hour bundle” for 45% off using my link! https://www.magicmind.com/LAINEJAN Last week, I started telling you the story of eight-year-old Raylee Browning, who died in the home of her father, his girlfriend, and the woman’s sister after years of unthinkable abuse. Raylee’s death was infuriatingly preventable if only CPS and the family court judge hadn’t ignored countless abuse complaints from Raylee’s mom and school staff.In this episode, we’ll go over the results of Raylee’s autopsy and the shocking number of medications she was prescribed. I’ll talk about how and why Marty Browning Jr., Julie Titchenell, and Sherie Titchenell put just Raylee, one of four kids in the home, through years of abuse and neglect. I’ll go through the shocking statements one of Julie’s children made to a counselor, cementing the three adults’ criminal charges. Finally, I’ll also discuss proposed legislation that would protect many homeschooled kids from abuse and why, almost four years after its proposal, it still hasn’t been passed by the West Virginia State Senate.This is part two of the harrowing story of Raylee Browning.Links discussed in this episode:The Coalition for Responsible Home Education (CRHE): https://responsiblehomeschooling.org Homeschooling’s Invisible Children summary of 2024 findings: https://www.hsinvisiblechildren.org/findings/ Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.

Episode 188: Raylee Browning, Retold (Part 1)
Get your Magic Mind here: https://magicmind.com/LAINE20You get 20% off for a one-time purchase and up to 48% off for subscriptions with my code: LAINE20In Episode 4, I told you about Raylee Browning: a little girl who died on December 26, 2018. Although she was covered with injuries from head to toe, her cause of death was a septic infection from untreated pneumonia. The three adults in the home—Raylee’s father, his girlfriend, and her sister—were charged in her death.That episode barely scratched the surface. Now, I’m retelling Raylee’s full story with the help of her mom, Janice Wriston, who fought for Raylee’s entire eight years to protect her daughter from the girl’s own father, Marty Browning Jr. The way the press told the story, Marty was a negligent father who merely failed to protect his daughter. The truth about Marty is far darker than that.This is the story of a sweet, loving little girl whose mom called her Sunshine. It’s also a story about the horrific abuse Marty inflicted on first Janice and then Raylee, and how he managed to become entwined with a pair of sisters just as narcissistic and abusive as himself, ultimately leading to his only child’s painful and unnecessary death.This is part one of the harrowing story of Raylee Browning.Links discussed in this episode: 2011 study in the Journal of the Society of Psychologists in Addictive Behaviors: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3883081/ 2023 study in the Journal of Family Violence: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9838333/ CDC page, “About Intimate Partner Violence”: https://www.cdc.gov/intimate-partner-violence/about/index.htmlNational Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) 2016/2017 Report on Intimate Partner Violence: https://www.cdc.gov/nisvs/documentation/NISVSReportonIPV_2022.pdfPhotos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.

Autumn, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was found wearing only a diaper and covered in injuries, including multiple bruises, a burn, and even a human bite mark.This is the tragic story of Autumn Horak.Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/52431605 You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.

Last week, I told you the story of two-year-old Arianna Starkey, whose father, Austin Starkey, failed to protect her from his homicidal girlfriend, Destani Neel.

In this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Christina, who told me about how she and her daughter, Arianna’s mom, Kassie, have dealt with their loss, as well as the questions that remain unanswered about the case and who their precious Ari was.This is part 2 of the harrowing story of Arianna Starkey.Links discussed in today’s episode:Episode 164: Joan D’Alessandro (Part 1): https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-164-joan-d-alessandro-part-1--58506508Episode 165: Joan D’Alessandro (Part 2): https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-165-joan-d-alessandro-part-2--58599551Joan’s Joy website: https://joansjoy.orgParents of Murdered Children: https://www.pomc.org Episode 102: Fallon Fridley: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-102-fallon-fridley--48918746Episode 183: Fallon Fridley Updates (with Kristin Fridley): https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-183-fallon-fridley-updates-with-kristin-fridley--62532513Episode 95: Darisabel Baez: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-95-darisabel-baez--48262363Carrying Darisabel documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R_HUJWf6cU Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.

Episode 186: Arianna Starkey (Part 1)
Note: I'm honored to release this episode on what would be Arianna's sixth birthday.On January 8, 2021, 27-year-old Destani Neel called 911, reporting that her boyfriend’s daughter was having trouble breathing. Although two-year-old Arianna Starkey was rushed to the hospital, she never regained consciousness, and she took her last breath two days later. Destani—a mother herself—had a story prepared for investigators, but her details kept changing, and it was immediately apparent that Arianna’s death was not an accident.This is the story of a little girl who loved her big brother, her pink boots, and having tea parties with her Nana. It’s also the story of a mother who took out all of her frustrations on her boyfriend’s innocent toddler—and a man whose intervention could have saved his daughter’s life.This is part 1 of the harrowing story of Arianna Starkey.Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.
