Lainey’s attitude online towards her listeners are off putting. I unfollowed.

Unfortunately, in this ugly world there has to be new child abuse cases. Is there a reason why you haven’t created anymore podcasts involving child abuse ? I think we need to hear about those. I think the world needs to know what’s going on.

Lots of repeats and not consistently updated on a weekly (or even monthly sometimes) basis. I used to love it.

I wish there were more stars, your patience and restraint is so admirable, as is your ability to ingest these horrific cases. It’s absolutely gut wrenching, but I owe it to you and especially these children to listen to their stories. I know that not every mother is capable of nurturing and...Read full review »

It could be so good but her voice makes it boring. I absolutely hate when she switches to another “voice” for statements made by people. The stories are heartbreaking. I’m glad she is shining light on this.

I’d like to apologize in advance for the username listed on my reviews. My name is Hannah and I don’t know how to change that particular username. I love this podcast. I love how she talks about the children there qualities what family members loved best about them and what they loved to do. I...Read full review »

The way she talks is like a robot and so artificial.

I love it ! I love how you insert press conference clips, fb posts from family, text messages etc. I love how it's all just presenting information no banter or stories of your personal experiences. This is great. I can listen for hours.Read full review »

I love the show and the premise. The only draw I have is the constant T-Mobile commercials that scream “It’s Better Over Here!” Not once, but twice each break. Can we bring to one time per commercial break/pause. These are typically dark topics and being startled with a repeat is a bit...Read full review »

I truly love your show however, I find myself getting distracted when you do episodes where you’re just reading. I’d love to hear actual interviews both from the victims & officers. Thank you for shining light on these babies stories. I will definitely be subscribing.

I wanted to like this podcast but I’m struggling because there are some facts that they seem to be missing in the Corey case. His father was the custodial parent and the episodes referencing this particular case keep saying that he was not. Because I know this case, it makes it hard for me to...Read full review »

While I’m so grateful that Laine does a podcast highlighting this much needed content regarding children/abuse/the system, etc., there are endless cases that deserve to be heard, and this constant repeat of cases that maybe she feels was in her “younger” podcasting days, and needs better info,...Read full review »

I used to listen all the time. The re releases are such a disappointment. I just can’t with this pod much longer. It was stellar now not so much. So many repeats. There are so many new stories that can actually be focused on.
Gina7076 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/24
So heartfelt it hurts.
swedishsara via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 04/16/24
Since September last year the only new episodes are just (re-release) of stories that have been told in the last years, there is nothing new about the said stories or new ones, one person who said this was bashed by the host on facebook for seeing the stories just as numbers and no people, sorry...Read full review »
Jalexa2805 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/24
Wow
Laine does such a great job reading directly from court transcripts and news stories, and I love when she re-releases the same episode with the old intro left in! Best of all, it’s an old case with zero updates! She creatively starts the episodes off with some poor me excuses, and stigmatizes...Read full review »

I think it would help your show if you kept your disdain for the right out of it. Not sure why you feel the need to bring politics into your show.

I’m starting from the very beginning of the show. I love it so far but the music is VERY unnerving. Like who thought the nursery rhyme-like jingles was a good idea??? I hope this changes and quick. I feel like it’s not really appropriate for a podcast like this.
Ehspresso_Dehpresso via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/24
Thank you for your series supporting trans and LGBTQ youth. I support you even more because of this. If you lose listeners because of this, good riddance. Keep up the great work!
Lover33whang via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/24
I have loved your podcast for showing all sides of the story. so glad you are back

No new cases since September, just re-releases. Is podcast title over now?
Madameclef via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/28/24
If a child had to experience this, the least we can do is listen to their story. Lane takes one of the most harrowing topics and shares important stories, warning signs, and ways to help. Somehow, even with this topic, Lane’s quick wit and dark humor add a bit of much needed levity and shared...Read full review »

I’ve been listening since the beginning. I absolutely love Laine and her passionate and compassionate reporting of the case! Keep it up and stay strong Laine!
AJIG Mom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/21/23
What is the point of a podcast if all you do is read outload the articles and play recordings of court/news/tv? Their is no story I still don't know what happened to the victims beacuse it's just filled inserts of clips. Not informative at all, cannot communicate what happened.Read full review »

Just finished the Kendzia story & Wow Shane is an amazing human being! I believe Susan Kendzia poisoned her (Munchausen by proxy) for this reason. Shane’s innate empathy & ability to connect with others prolly made Susan insanely envious & furious (even as a baby). It’s a miracle...Read full review »

I’m not a fan of the rants that are added, or the woe-is-me excuses, but it’s not my show so 🤷🏻‍♀️. I do skip the re-releases. I don’t want to re-listen to an episode that has no updates. It definitely doesn’t encourage me to put a monetary effort toward the show. However, the rants and “it’s...Read full review »

Laine you are doing God's work!!! Don’t ever let any of the critics change you and what you are doing. As horrific as the content may be, we need to hear this. I love how you say if they can endure it we can at least listen to it. We need to demand change among the systems that these sweet...Read full review »

I just found this podcast and am impressed with the storytelling and depth of information presented.

Avid listener Lane you do an amazing job… that “mother” in episode one should be sterilised hearing her berate that little boy just breaks your heart
beckster1711 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/17/23
If you are interested in these types of cases this podcast is done well. A lot of sad and twisted stories.
Tyne12345 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/13/23
Brilliantly researched and written podcast with a very human response to some incredibly damaged human beings and a palpable anger at their evil deeds.
Saircat via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/04/23
What a great episode! #160. Such an important part of the failures of our systems in America. Great spotlight on this. Your reporting just is next level. You’ve become a valuable voice for these little ones, and although these are horrible stories they deserve to be told. Thank you for all your...Read full review »

My absolute favourite podcast. Feels strange saying that given the topic but I find the stories fascinating. I’ve loved the longer episodes you’ve been doing lately too. Keep up the amazing work! ⭐️
SunnyHG via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/07/23
The narration sounds so robotic that at one point I questioned if it was being read aloud by a computer.
NuclearWintre via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/23
I’m a survivor of child abuse by a caregiver. I have an intense emotional attachment to any and all abused children. Please please please change the music. It is unnecessarily creepy. Making it feel like the intro and soundtrack to a grotesque and fictional horror movie (think: Floweres In The...Read full review »

Ok I’m new to this pod and I’m currently debating how much I can listen to the horrific content. That being said, I just got done with the Hot Car episode and it was AMAZING. To be clear, we do not have kids and won’t, but I would never ever blame parents for accidentally leaving their kids in...Read full review »

Love the show! Listen to it while I’m cooking, doing housework and while laying in bed at night.
Treehuggerbookworm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/23
Content was great but the monotone voice of the host and the other odd voices added in for the children etc ruined it for me. I was disappointed because the show sounded like it would be great but after listening to the entire first episode, I decided not to continue. The voice of the host...Read full review »

Always wants to blame the female despite the man being just as bad, dysfunctional and toxic.
antigirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/23
I recently binged every episode, now I can’t wait for the next upload! I love the hosts story telling, sympathy for the victims and her bringing awareness to such a senseless and preventable subject. Her recent episode about hot car deaths is my favorite, I definitely went into the episode...Read full review »

You can tell Laine puts in so much time doing research in every case. I’m not a fan of some of her opinions but it’s obvious she truly cares about every child. The way she tells each child’s story gives them a voice and memory that they deserve. I definitely recommend.
Lala9981 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/23
I think people will either love or hate this. To me, I really do want these children to be remembered- especially the cases that got no media coverage. It is heartbreaking to me that not every child has a loving home…it’s just horrifying. I know some people like this podcast and I’ll give that to...Read full review »
