In an attempt to switch things up a bit Kristen brings a case that isn't true crime related but as we soon find out just as f**ked up. After forcing Romanian people to have children for over 20 years the citizens are now left with the "eye sore" that is 20,000 children, homeless and living in thee subway stations beneath the city. Kristen talks about the documentary "Children Underground" and how it follows the stories of 5 of the children that live there.
