Susan Stevenson. Susan Cook. Susan Kendzia. Susan Lee. All of these names belong to the same woman. You’d never know by looking at this charming, gray-haired 62-year-old southern grandmother that she has spent decades leaving a trail of illness, abuse, and death in her wake. Even though the words “Munchausen syndrome by proxy” have hovered over Susan’s head since the mid-1980s like a dark cloud, she has been permitted to continue committing countless alleged atrocities against children and others for over forty years with little to no consequence.
Over the course of this miniseries, I will expose Susan’s alleged misdeeds with the help of those who were fortunate enough to survive her, and I will speak out for those who weren’t.
In today’s episode, I will tell you about two baby boys who were adopted into the Kendzia home nine months apart and who died under similarly suspicious circumstances, also nine months apart.
This is Part 1: Michael and Kevin.

it is ironic that "Islamophobia" is denounced as one of the factors that led to the alienation between the man and his child, when the man's own father was murdered by one of the world's few Islamic extremist states and he subsequently fled here to have a safe and normal life -- away from Islamic extremism! sometimes it's not "stereotypes" rather lived experience, especially of those fortunate enough to escape. sometimes "woke" gets in the way of critical thinking.

I think this is unabridged???
Come on, that is such a stretch saying DeeDee Blanchard is viewed as a monster because she's overweight and lower middle class, and Beata is seen as a martyr because she's slim and rich. I'm not blind to prejudice that exists in the world, but you have little to no evidence to say that. An objective jury found that Beata was a victim in this. Are you saying they determined that because she was slim and rich?

repeating everything the officer says using different words is a bit insulting... we understand
the inequities of the child protection system are visited by far most proportionately upon the children that system ostensibly exists to protect.
I would love to hear your reflections on the Gypsy Rose case.
I had hoped Jim Clemente and Laura Richards could offer much needed constructive criticism, from their years of experience, but Clemente just wanted to interrupt and yell. And Richard's seems hellbent on conflating mbp & mca with "medical misogyny". Because Clemente's mama is a nurse? nurses deserve much respect. But Lucy Letby, Kristin Gilbert, Beverly Alitt, Genene Jones, Kim Saenz, Liz Wettlaufer, Gwen Graham, Cathy Wood, & Kim Cargill are nurses. I have lost respect.
Ruby Franke could be a next case! Horrible stories
Wow. A "child's pain is part of the problem" . Hoping the viewpoint of folks with these conditions that "may exist" are heard later this season. Or I'm done with this podcast.
I am impressed with Laura Richards, dignified and respectful and fair in her disagreement. This is the kind of discussion that needs to take place. Not a "debate" where men get to yell and it is two against one.
The podcast "Nobody Should Believe Me" delves into the fascinating realm of skepticism, truth, and credibility in an age where misinformation runs rampant. In a world dominated by social media, echo chambers, and the constant influx of information, it has become increasingly challenging to discern fact from fiction. This thought-provoking podcast takes listeners on a journey to understand why skepticism is not only healthy but also crucial in our information-saturated society. https://www.bizbangboom.com/los-angeles-ca/manufacturing/rigid-box-packaging The podcast, hosted by a group of experts in various fields, explores the psychological and societal factors that contribute to the spread of misinformation and the erosion of trust. It dives into the concept of cognitive bias and how it influences our perception of reality. https://www.insertbiz.com/listing/926-n-cahuenga-blvd-los-angeles-ca-90004-rigid-box-packaging/
thought-provoking the documentary being discussed is surely provocative, persuasive, and emotionally upsetting. even an intelligent and reasonably informed audience could be convinced by what appears to be contextually incomplete.
other cases need to be covered. l understand the importance of addressing the media situation and the potential impact of this documentary. As with all other kinds of child abuse, elderly abuse, disabled abuse, there is a serious and lethal problem with victims "falling through the cracks", running a gauntlet of systematic failures. I have my own concerns with some of the things that experienced professionals are saying re mbp. Constructive criticism is needed in this good fight.
wow! is he ever flippant with his comments. it's not a funny topic so I found this quite surprising.
I respect Bea Yorker's professional perspective on the balance, about medical child abuse. But I disagree with her about reunification, and about how this method of abuse has anything in common with drug and alcohol addiction. I was actually quite stunned to hear her going on and on in such glowing language about the potential of "reunification" between a tortured child and the torturer. Also, "gender stereotypes" are not why the Courts are so inept in regards to this kind of abuse: it is the subhuman status of children that causes the ineptitude and the difficulty of the Courts. The Courts see children as property of their parents rather than as human beings. That is why "reunification" is emphasized above the lives and deaths of children. "Reunification" benefits the parent(s) at expense of the child(ren); "reunification" validates and "heals" the abusers at the expense of the survivors. Abuse and torture, particularly the kind we have been hearing about in these episodes, are a CHO
why did this cut out early?
As an adopted child, believe when I say that Alyssa is still going to feel the loss of her biological mother regardless of the circumstances. It's going to be painful for her for a long time that she won't get the chance to find out (from her mother's own mouth) why the medical abuse happened, nor will she get the chance to forgive her.
I'm a little annoyed with how much she is telling us what this podcast will be about.
