Halifax, NS - Feb 2025

When a six-year-old boy was stabbed in a random attack in downtown Halifax, shock and outrage followed. But as details emerged, a deeper, more troubling story came to light—one of untreated mental illness, missed warnings, and a system that seemed unable to prevent this tragedy.

In this episode, Andrea Hancock shares the story of her daughter, Elliott Chorny—a young woman whose battle with mental illness, missed warnings, and a failing system led to an unthinkable tragedy.

Andrea reflects on the years of seeking help, the signs that something was dangerously wrong, and her gratitude toward the family of the young victim.
