Heartbreaking and extraordinary
Heartbreaking tale impacting so many lives unfairly; told with so much integrity. Such a maze of a story but navigated beautifully and heartwrenchingly. Extraordinary quality of capital-J journalism.

Full of surprises. Disturbing.
I didn’t expect such a twisted and revelatory story. Astonishing and deeply disturbing. Heart goes out to all of those who were affected by such a callous disregard to vulnerable young people. An absolute must to listen to.
