How does a mother rationalize the abuse of her own child? For Madeline Soto, the answer seems to be disassociation—compartmentalizing the horrors happening right under her roof. When confronted with undeniable evidence that her boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, allegedly abused and groomed her daughter, Soto’s reaction is nothing short of chilling. In this interrogation, Soto shows clear emotional disconnect, rubbing her hands as though trying to wipe away the guilt, while Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent, analyzes the trauma that led her to this moment. Could years of alleged abuse in her own life explain her lack of action, or is something deeper at play? And ultimately, does that excuse her from responsibility?

How do you respond when shown undeniable evidence of abuse involving your own child? Apparently, if you're Madeline Soto, you prioritize your partner—Stephan Sterns—over your daughter's safety. Even after being shown explicit images of assault involving her daughter, Soto’s first thought was to protect Sterns, telling his father to get him a lawyer. In this chilling conversation with police, the emotional disconnect and disturbing rationalizations take center stage. Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent, breaks down the dark psychology behind Soto's behavior, exploring how trauma bonding and disassociation might have played a role in her twisted loyalties. But here's the real question: Should she be held accountable for her actions, or is she just another victim of her own brokenness?

Is denial enough to excuse a mother for failing to protect her child from alleged abuse and murder? In this chilling episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive deep into the disturbing case of Stephan Sterns, who allegedly abused and murdered 13-year-old Madeline Soto just one day after her birthday. The evidence, including graphic photos and a calm, cold interrogation, paints a horrific picture. While Sterns’ traumatic brain injuries are being pointed to by some, can they really explain away such monstrous actions? Meanwhile, Jennifer Soto, Madeline’s mother, remains an enigma—how could someone who saw the abuse first hand still instinctively protect Sterns? Shavaun Scott explores the psychology behind denial, emotional dependence, and why some parents fail to act when their children are in danger. But the biggest question remains: Is Jennifer Soto truly blind to the horror that happened under her own roof, or is there something much darker hiding behind her excuses?

How does someone remain so calm after being accused of unimaginable crimes? Stephan Sterns, charged with the sexual abuse and alleged murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, didn’t seem fazed at all when shown disturbing evidence against him. It’s as if he was discussing what to have for lunch instead of being exposed as a predator. Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the chilling psychology of Sterns—his botched attempt to wipe incriminating evidence, his apparent narcissism, and whether his traumatic brain injuries could explain any of his monstrous behavior. And then there’s Jennifer Soto, Madeline’s mother, who repeatedly chose to protect Stearns over her daughter, even after seeing clear evidence of his abuse. Was she truly that blind, or is there something far more twisted at play? What would make a mother turn a blind eye to her child’s suffering?
