Parents have to trust caregivers. It’s just a fact of life. Often we feel more comfortable with a family friend than a daycare. That’s what Tiffany and David Shell did for their daughter Annie. They trusted Brandi Giannunzio. She babysat their two youngest daughters. She was good with their girls. They had no reason to believe Brandi would leave their girls with her boyfriend. They had never met Benjamin Brown. But on August 9, 2018, he was left alone with their daughters. And then they had to face the unthinkable.  Hosted and produced by Erica Kelley  Researched and written by Erica Kelley & Gemma Harris Original Graphic Art by Coley Horner  Original Music by Rob Harrison of Gamma Radio Edited & Mixed by Brandon Schexnayder and Erica Kelley  RESOURCES FOR CHILD ABUSE Visit this website for preventing Shaken Baby Syndrome US National Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-422-4453 For resources specific to each state, visit this website Canada: visit this website to find the hotline in your area UK Child Abuse Hotline: 0808 800 5000 Visit this website for help recognizing child abuse Sources: https://southernfriedtruecrime.com/annie-burkett-shell This episode is brought to you by:   Don’t pull the covers over your head, your health is too important.
