A Mother's Experience with Filicide: The Story of Alec and Lydia Mater

Описание: Listener/viewer discretion is advised. Trigger warnings for suicide, gun violence, domestic violence, and filicide.

In this episode, Kaydra sits down with Hope Hooton, a mother who has endured the unimaginable loss of her 2 children, Alec and Lydia, to filicide, the act of killing your own child. Hope shares the story of her relationship, the abuse she experienced, the steps she took to protect herself and her children, and how the legal system failed her family.

Through her heartbreak, Hope is turning her pain to purpose. Her goal now is to spread awareness of filicide and advocate for change. She has started a podcast, Voices Against Filicide to share her story and others.
