    In Episode 4, I told you about Raylee Browning: a little girl who died on December 26, 2018. Although she was covered with injuries from head to toe, her cause of death was a septic infection from untreated pneumonia. The three adults in the home—Raylee’s father, his girlfriend, and her sister—were charged in her death.

    That episode barely scratched the surface. Now, I’m retelling Raylee’s full story with the help of her mom, Janice Wriston, who fought for Raylee’s entire eight years to protect her daughter from the girl’s own father, Marty Browning Jr. The way the press told the story, Marty was a negligent father who merely failed to protect his daughter. The truth about Marty is far darker than that.

    This is the story of a sweet, loving little girl whose mom called her Sunshine. It’s also a story about the horrific abuse Marty inflicted on first Janice and then Raylee, and how he managed to become entwined with a pair of sisters just as narcissistic and abusive as himself, ultimately leading to his only child’s painful and unnecessary death.

    This is part one of the harrowing story of Raylee Browning.

  • Bonus Minisode #2: Autumn Horak
    Dec 17 2024
    *This minisode, formerly available only to Patreon subscribers, was originally released on June 12, 2021. Since I'm no longer creating these, I’ll occasionally release them to the public for all my listeners to enjoy. I didn’t realize until I re-listened how fast I talked back then; sorry about that!*

    On the morning of February 28, 2020, a young mother summoned Milwaukee police to her home, where her 4-year-old daughter, Autumn Horak, was unresponsive. Autumn, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was found wearing only a diaper and covered in injuries, including multiple bruises, a burn, and even a human bite mark.

    This is the tragic story of Autumn Horak.

  • Episode 187: Arianna Starkey (Part 2)
    Dec 10 2024
    Last week, I told you the story of two-year-old Arianna Starkey, whose father, Austin Starkey, failed to protect her from his homicidal girlfriend, Destani Neel. Both Austin and Destani were sentenced to prison for their roles in Arianna’s brutal death.Arianna’s death hit her family hard, and it’s taken some time for her maternal grandmother, Christina Justice, to be ready to tell her story. In this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Christina, who told me about how she and her daughter, Arianna’s mom, Kassie, have dealt with their loss, as well as the questions that remain unanswered about the case and who their precious Ari was.This is part 2 of the harrowing story of Arianna Starkey.Links discussed in today’s episode:Episode 164: Joan D’Alessandro (Part 1): https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-164-joan-d-alessandro-part-1--58506508Episode 165: Joan D’Alessandro (Part 2): https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-165-joan-d-alessandro-part-2--58599551Joan’s Joy website: https://joansjoy.orgParents of Murdered Children: https://www.pomc.org Episode 102: Fallon Fridley: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-102-fallon-fridley--48918746Episode 183: Fallon Fridley Updates (with Kristin Fridley): https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-183-fallon-fridley-updates-with-kristin-fridley--62532513Episode 95: Darisabel Baez: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-95-darisabel-baez--48262363Carrying Darisabel documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R_HUJWf6cU Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
