On my first re-listen of this ep. One of my faves. A top-notch episode all around. I don’t think there’s ever been a more fake-sounding “kid” voice than the one Vicki puts on over the saccharine piano. There’s few things in this show that will match the creepiness of this lying woman barely faking a fake kid’s voice while she ambles slowly through a bunch of shallow platitudes about life.

Ah! Anthony Godby Johnson. This is like a lovely soft cashmere cardigan on a crisp Autumn Sunday….

Segues. Segways have wheels.

Such a wild episode

George Hayward

As always, incredibly thorough and masterfully told. Thank you again for the amazing work. Sometimes the strangest stories are the real ones.

Cassandra L

What a great episode. Thank you.

Makes sense why I can’t get help for my friend who has taken on 4 kids from the word of faith that escaped, two have cancer and one MD. Chained to a wall. And no one will listen. People just can’t believe it. Just so disgusting.

I watched enough pokemon in my life that I should have know it was a grown woman pretending to be a little boy.

I was sent to a boarding school - not for behavioral issues but bc my parents wanted me to have the best education possible, or so they said. The school I attended is now defunct, and for that I am so glad. There was so much sexual abuse and corruption in the admin. The elite are into some seriously sick shit. I’m so glad to see it now coming to light.

This was really really good. Again Concerned Citizen peels back the curtain on some of the most disgruntled and disingenuous people ever.

One mystery writer/podcaster outing another, classic!!

Also the woman who made up a child abuse victim married an alleged child abuser. When these people screech about child abuse conspiracies, it's because they're participating in one themselves.

As someone who was sent to one of these “therapeutic”boarding schools I can’t express how grateful I am that they are being brought to light.

The "Troubled Teen" industry is an abomination. Through Bain Capital, Mitt Romney had a financial interest into WWASP, a network of some of the largest and most horrific troubled teen programs ever created. They all use the Synanon model. It's sick shit. As a kid I spent years in a religious group some people in town considered a cult. People do some fucked-up things to kids.

Alyssa Stuart

Just finished listening while charting at work...where I see actual sick children. This boiled my blood.

I loved thay juxtaposition too. Also felt it highlighted how the same people who think evangelicals can do no wrong are the same homophobic bigots who devour a story that features child sex abuse by men against boys bc it reinforces their beliefs.

Great way to start my work day

Sim Ona

👏🏾👏🏾

Carmen

As always well done. Your droll sarcastic delivery brightens my day.

The intros that dovetail into the main story have been a treat this season. For this episode, stories that weren't believed but true juxtaposed with stories everyone believed but were not true.
