Staying up late during your freshman year of college isn't out of the ordinary, and it certainly wasn't for 18-year-old Michael Negrete. Michael had just finished partying and playing video games with his friends when they said goodnight and went to bed around 4 am. Michael's roommate awoke the next morning to find Michael missing, but all of his belongings left untouched. To this day, no one knows what happened, or how someone could just disappear without leaving a trace.

For over two decades, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was a victim of child abuse by her own mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Gypsy was subjected to abuse not only through physical assault by her mother, but also through medical malpractice. Dee Dee would have Gypsy poked, prodded and even surgically operated on by different doctors. Dee Dee, Gypsy's mother, had a mental disorder called Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which is a rare form of abuse that results in a guardian feigning or forcing illness in their child for attention and sympathy. For years, Gypsy endured it all, until one day she just couldn't take it anymore.

Jen Hart was described as 'a narcissist who hid behind her woke facade'. Jen and her wife Sarah adopted six children of color, but spent their entirety of the time abusing them. This is a case where CPS, law enforcement and the United States as a whole failed to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
