In this episode, Crime Salad sits down with Hope Hooton, a mother who has endured the unimaginable loss of her two children to filicide, the act of a parent killing their own child. This conversation covers deeply sensitive topics, including suicide, domestic abuse, and the devastating realities that too often go overlooked by the system. Hope shares the red flags she recognized, the steps she took to protect herself and her children, and the hard truths about how difficult it can be to leave an abusive relationship.
