10-year-old Ame Deal used to have a semi-regular life with her two other siblings, her father David and her mother Shirley. When Shirley is forced to leave, Ame is left behind with her father, siblings, grandmother, cousin and cousin-in-law, aunt, and 11 other children to adapt to a new life of pain and torment. Facing neglectful conditions, Ame only lived this way for a short amount of time before the negative treatment ended tragically. Kayla and I kick off Child Abuse Prevention (Awareness) Month with a horrifying case from 2011 in Phoenix, Arizona.

One night in March of 2004, Brianna Maitland ended her dishwashing shift at the Black Lantern Inn in Montgomery, Vermont, clocked out and left for the night. She took Route 122 towards Sheldon, the city in which she lived, with the intention of waking up the next day for another shift at a second job in St. Alban. She never made it home that night. An abandoned car and what was left inside is the only evidence police have to go off of. Will the loose ends ever be tied up? Most importantly, could she be tied to another missing girl, whose incident happened less than 100 miles away from Brianna’s? I, Shayla, discuss this mysterious missing persons case that remains cold for 16 years.

The date is May 3rd, 2007, and three-year-old British girl Madeleine McCann is living the beach scene with her family on a European vacation in Portugal. Little does she, and her family, know that she will never return home again. Kayla and I sit down to discuss the ins-and-outs of this case and how likely it is that Madeleine will one day.
