From Jen Soto To Jake Harrow: Why America’s Child Protection System is Broken Beyond Repair
From Jen Soto To Jake Harrow: Why America’s Child Protection System is Broken Beyond Repair The final segment of this Hidden Killers Live breakdown brings the conversation to its most haunting point: how could Jake Haro ever be rated “low risk” after nearly killing his first child? Tony Brueski and Shavaun Scott examine the checklist mentality of child protective services and probation programs, where compliance and paperwork are valued over real-world judgment. Shavaun shares a devastating personal case from her career: a young boy she warned was unsafe with his mother, only for the court to ignore her. On the first unsupervised weekend visit, the child was killed in a preventable accident. The discussion reveals how overworked caseworkers, undertrained judges, and overloaded systems consistently push dangerous parents back into homes, leaving children to suffer or die. They highlight the staggering statistic that 50% of child fatalities occur in families already known to CPS, and yet the cycle continues. Tony and Shavaun close with a passionate call for reform, demanding more accountability, better training, and a fundamental shift away from blind faith in rehabilitation toward prioritizing child safety above all else.

Why Did Rebecca Haro Stay With Jake Haro? Trauma Bonds & a Mother’s Responsibility
Why Did Rebecca Haro Stay With Jake Haro? Trauma Bonds & a Mother’s Responsibility In this chilling segment, the spotlight turns to Rebecca Haro, the mother who stood by Jake Haro even after he shattered their daughter’s bones and later killed their infant son Emmanuel. Why would someone defend such a man? Why stay loyal when your children’s lives are at risk? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains the psychology of trauma bonding and dependent personality disorder, breaking down why some partners remain attached to abusers despite overwhelming evidence of danger. Tony and Stacy weigh Rebecca’s moral responsibility to protect her child, while acknowledging that she herself may have been abused, manipulated, and trapped in fear. The panel debates the cycle of hurt people hurting people, asking: does her trauma explain her actions, or excuse them? Should society show compassion, or demand accountability? The conversation expands into a broader discussion about the parenting “switch” — how some people naturally prioritize their children, while others never do. This segment forces viewers to grapple with a tough question: when it comes to protecting children, how much blame belongs to the abuser, and how much to those who enable them? #RebeccaHaro #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #ChildAbuse #TraumaBond #DependentPersonality #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott #EmmanuelHarro #SystemFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Netflix’s Unknown Number: Mom EXPOSED as Predator | Kendra Licari’s Sick Obsession The truth hit like a bomb: Lauren’s tormentor was her own mother. In Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish, Kendra Licari was exposed as the woman behind two years of anonymous cyber-abuse — weaponizing fake numbers, framing classmates, and even sending disturbing sexual messages to her daughter’s boyfriend. This segment unpacks Kendra Licari’s twisted psychology: narcissism, manipulation, obsession, and a predatory fixation on her teenage daughter’s life. We explore the fallout in Beal City, Lauren’s conflicted loyalty, Owen’s trauma, and why experts say narcissists never change. Tony Brueski and Carol Hughes break down one of the most disturbing cases of parental betrayal ever seen on Netflix — and why this story is a chilling warning about predators hiding in plain sight. #Netflix #UnknownNumber #KendraLicari #LaurenLicari #Owen #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #truecrime #catfish #narcissism Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
