  • Episode 184: Kinsleigh Welty

    Episode 184: Kinsleigh Welty
    Nov 3 2024
    When Indianapolis police responded to a 911 call for an unresponsive child on April 9, 2024, they couldn’t have guessed the horrific circumstances of the victim’s life and death. 5-year-old Kinsleigh Welty, who weighed only 21 pounds, was clearly malnourished. She had a bruise on her face and fecal matter on her body and matted into her hair, which was crawling with lice. Kinsleigh was pronounced dead at Riley Hospital for Children the same day.

    This is the story of yet another child failed by Indiana’s child welfare system. It’s also the story of yet another case of reunification gone wrong and a child who thrived in the care of others, only to die at the hands of a biological parent.

    Also in this episode, you’ll hear from Kinsleigh’s great-aunt, Carrie Hogan, who, along with many others, demands change from Indiana’s Department of Child Services.

    This is the gut-wrenching story of Kinsleigh Welty.

  • Episode 183: Fallon Fridley Updates (with Kristin Fridley)

    Episode 183: Fallon Fridley Updates (with Kristin Fridley)
    Oct 28 2024
    In Episode 102, I told you the story of two-year-old Fallon Fridley, a precious little girl in Georgia whose babysitter, a close family friend, tortured and killed her in December 2020. The attack was caught on the babysitter’s in-home video surveillance system, and police found incriminating search terms on Kirstie Flood’s phone, such as “What does it mean to have a sudden urge to beat a child that’s not yours?”

    Today, I have several updates for you in Fallon’s case, including plea deals, sentencing, and more. You’ll also hear my recent conversation with Fallon’s mom, Kristin Fridley, who has been to hell and back over the past four years but manages to remain grateful for the blessings in her life.

  • Bonus Minisode #1: Keigan O'Brien (Formerly Patreon exclusive)

    Bonus Minisode #1: Keigan O'Brien (Formerly Patreon exclusive)
    Oct 17 2024
    *This minisode, formerly available only to Patreon subscribers, was originally released on May 27, 2021. Since I'm no longer creating these, I thought I'd release them once in a while for all my listeners to enjoy. I apologize for talking so fast back then!*

    An adorable two-year-old boy described by loved ones as a “cheeky monkey” is dead, murdered just days after his second birthday, and his older sisters are left wondering why their beloved baby brother never came home. This is a tragic story out of England that I covered in November 2020 on the now-defunct Suffer the Little Children Blog.

    This is the heartbreaking story of Keigan O'Brien.

Miles alone on the road

First time listener and I must say this episode was the most deplorable horrible sadden case of child abuse I have ever heard of. this little boy AJ will forever have my heart and I pray his mother suffers everyday of her life. I don't ever recall getting very emotional while listening to podcasts but this one did it today as AJ's lawyer was making his closing statements and referring to being hit in the head and adding the slaps with it just broke me down. I love children all of children and I feel that anyone that abuses children should walk the flames of hell. thank you for the great listening will continue to listen you have earned another true and faithful.

it's not about you.

Your passion is understandable. really. But I don't expect the host to get emotionally involved in the story. it somehow takes away from the experience. therefore, I won't be listening to STLC going forward.

Great

Tough subject, she does amazing bringing these silenced voices back. They need to be heard. Need breaks sometimes so it doesn't trigger my PTSD.

Amazing Podcast!!!

Each episode is heartbreaking, but some are hard to get through hearing what people can do to poor innocent babies/children!
Lynn does an amazing job doing so much research to have all the information for each case. I enjoy that she comes back and does updates when things happen in the cases.

By far my favorite podcast

Love all of them. All of the cases are well researched, and Laine doesn't back down from the hard details. I can't image the toll it takes to put just one show together, much less close to 100 and still counting. thank you for doing this podcast, honey; who knows how many children you may have already saved.

My Daily Audible Go To

My favorite podcast. Every story is complete, in that, Laine includes every detail, to include, those who are left to mourn the loss of the child they loved, very thorough descriptions of the abusers past and present, other agencies that failed to help, the legal/court process, and most importantly all about the victim and who they were. Every story brings out waves of emotions from sadness to anger. Also, brings a smile to my face hearing about the precious child the victim was.

Love this podcast!

The composition of the stories is amazing. I love how much research goes into each case. And your delivery is fantastic! I’ve been binging for a few weeks now. I can’t get enough! Thank you for giving a voice to the innocent ❤️

STOP with the support of craziness

The stories are good...but I don't like the options of the author. Please keep your opinions and suggestions to yourself. Most people who listen to this, are looking for an escape from political opinion. If we wanted CNN ideologies, we wouldn't be listening to podcasts!
