In this powerful segment of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to examine one of the most heartbreaking cases in recent memory — the death of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro. Prosecutors say Emmanuel’s father, Jake Harro, killed him despite the fact that just two years earlier he had fractured the skull, spine, and bones of another infant.

Instead of serving prison time, Jake was given probation. That decision allowed him to father more children and ultimately left Emmanuel vulnerable to the same abuse that nearly killed his sister. Emmanuel’s death is not just the story of one violent man — it’s the story of a system that prioritized rehabilitation over protection, compliance over real safety.

Tony and Shavaun dig deep into how judges, child protective services, and probation officers rely on half-hearted checklists and paperwork rather than real assessments of danger. They trace the history of child protection laws in the U.S., from the shocking fact that animals were protected under law before children, to the modern-day failures that leave thousands of kids at risk.

This conversation exposes the cracks in a system that too often waits until children are dead or permanently maimed before acting.
