This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the tragic story of Elisa Izquierdo, a 6 year old girl that was failed by New York State's Child Protective Services after the tragic death of her loving father. Elisa could have had a bright future after finding  a royal benefactor - but sadly this Cinderella story wasn't meant to be.
