“I’ve listened to all of Criminology, much of The Murder In My Family, all of TCATT, and a few TCATT–Unsolved. Mostly because I don’t like unsolved shows. & I’ve listened to many, many more (100s to be honest.) True Crime podcasts over the last give or take 12+ years. (I’ve been listening for so long I can’t even recall when the phenomenon started.) I didn’t have to play catch-up w/Casefiles or Serial. So that’s me & my Bona Fides, so to speak.
This episode, like #305, of Criminology was really great! As in well done! I found it to be very moving with relatively satisfying resolution by the end of the episode given the so called mother, Rubi, & her partner Jodi, I think, were both going to be spending time in prison for their treatment of Rubi’s kids! (At least I hope Jodi was also bound for prison & not merely being struck off for her own treatment of those kids given she was a mandated reporter! Both mother & - - Jodi’s behavior was despicable!
We were not given enough information to determine whether Dad Kevin’s behavior was sad or pathological. We can all stand in judgment saying we would have done better & not let out wife treat our kids like that; but none of us were in his shoes. After all Jodi was an educated woman in the mental health field! It can take a lot for an alternatively educated person to essentially say: I know more. The podcast stated CPS was involved! No. I don’t think we can judge him. He & his kids were victims. The only sad thing is these two women could possibly receive the lighter-side of their sentences because we still don’t value children & women and the disabled as much as we do do able able bodied white boys!”
