Shownotes Transcript

April is child abuse prevention month, so today, we want to tell you a story about a little boy named Dennis Jurgens, who lived in Minnesota. He was born in 1961 and his child abuse story not only opened the eyes of the people in Minnesota, but of people all around the world. Abuse happens everywhere, to people of all ages, and we hope that this story will bring awareness to this overwhelming issue, an issue that continues to deeply haunt society today. And before we start this episode, we want to add an extreme warning. What we are about to discuss is horrific, and may not be suitable for all audiences. This story contains extremely disturbing details of physical abuse to a child, so listener discretion is strongly advised.
