On this episode, Michelle and her childhood friend Christa discuss the tragic murder of Deborah Liles and the botched attempt of restorative justice that followed. The killer's past raises questions about the physical effects of systematic oppression and trauma on young children. Why are some neighborhoods plagued with violence? What are the consequences of growing up in communities with high crime rates? And what can we do about it in our own communities and our greater society? Michelle answers these questions and more on this week's episode. Follow us on Instagram @hownottoraiseaserialkiller and DM us with your comments and questions!
