 This week we traverse this heartrending terrain, beginning with the case of mommy vlogger Ruby Frankie. Her egregious parenting tactics, which incited widespread fury, raise pivotal questions about the unseen scars inflicted upon children in the name of discipline, and the haunting legacy such actions leave.

Caroline and I also confront the grim tale of Ruby Frankie and Jody Hildebrandt, whose online platform became a facade for unthinkable acts of cruelty. Our conversation takes an investigative turn as we recount the neighbor's critical role in unveiling the truth and the ensuing battle for justice. We grapple with the specter of narcissistic parenting and its selective devastation, contrasting against the legal system's capacity to advocate for those too small to stand for themselves. This candid dialogue seeks not just to uncover but to provoke a deeper contemplation on safeguarding our most vulnerable against the silent epidemic of child abuse.
