During this episode, Deb and MaryAnne dig deep into the disturbing case of Adrian Alexander Jones, a young boy who suffered severe abuse for years before ultimately losing his life. We'll explore the neglect and abuse Adrian endured at the hands of his father and stepmother, as well as the failures of the child welfare system set in place to protect him.

Your hosts discuss the shocking living conditions in which Adrian and his siblings were forced to live, and the tragic discovery of Adrian's remains on the family's property. We'll touches on the psychological aspects of the case and the lack of remorse shown by the perpetrators.

Adrian Jones endured months of abuse at the hands of his parents before his death. The investigation revealed heart-wrenching videos of the abuse captured by surveillance cameras in the home. The failure of the child protective services to intervene and protect Adrian was evident, with numerous calls made by concerned citizens reporting the abuse. Adrian's extended family had lost contact with him, and the system failed to keep track of his case as his parents moved between Kansas and Missouri.

Deb and MaryAnne discuss the need for change in the child welfare system and the importance of advocating for the protection of children. We also also discuss the shortcomings of Adrian's Law and the efforts to improve it. The conversation ends with a call to action for listeners to get involved and make a difference in protecting children from abuse and neglect.

This is episode 1 of 6. We recommend you listening to season 1 in chronological order.

In our series debut, Deb and MaryAnne introduce you to the tragic death of five-year-old Zoey Felix and the shortcomings of the child welfare system. Little Zoey was discovered unresponsive at a gas station in Topeka, Kansas in October 2023. As we investigate further, we highlight the numerous reports of neglect and abuse made to authorities. Further discussion delves into the response of law enforcement and child welfare agencies, questioning their handling of this case.

Zoey was eventually placed in her father's care due to the numerous abuse charges and neglect charges her mother had on file. We'll hold a deep discussion on these circumstances, then focus on the actions and decisions made by Kansas authorities and the flaws in the child welfare system.

The conversation highlights the criteria for determining ideal living conditions and the responsibilities of caseworkers, the role neighbors played in supporting Zoey and the lack of communication, plus intervention from DCF.

During this episode, Deb and MaryAnne discuss the case of Zoey Felix, a five-year-old girl who died under tragic circumstances.

On September 5, 2023, concerned neighbors called the police when Zoe was left home alone with Cherry. Two weeks later, Zeke ordered Cherry and Caitlin to leave their residence.

The community is calling for justice and accountability in Zoe's case.
