*trigger warning* There is a lot of torture and assault on a minor in this case*

-

In part one of a two part series Madison tells us the tragic story of Sylvia Likens. In 1965 Sylvia's parents sent her and her younger sister Jenny to live with Gertrude Baniszewski and her seven children. What seemed like it should have been a straightforward boarding agreement quickly went south. Sylvia endured a type of abuse that is honestly hard to talk about. Part one will detail Sylvia's torture and murder, and part two will cover the trial afterwards. To get part two right now head over to the patreon!
