The Human Interest Podcast

Christine stood by the side of the road holding her 3 month old baby and looking down at her drunken husband...passed out at the side of the road. The comments from bystanders crashing her already broken heart. Why did she subject herself to this life at a tender age of 15? There was no way out for her now. Her fate was sealed. She was staring down at what would be her everyday for the rest of her life. Listen to her story on this week's podcast.
