To get a drivers licenses in the US, you must first take a permit test, have a certain number of hours driving, and pass a driving test. To become a lawyer, you must go to an accredited university and pass the bar exam. To work at a fast food restaurant, you have to pass a background check. But there is one job, arguably the most important job in the world, that has no background checks, no education needed, no exams passed- and that’s being a mother.
Join Lisa, Matt, and Jules as they discuss the crimes and break down the confession of one woman who does not have the right to call herself a ‘mom’. Was Mitchelle Blair a victim of her own past? Was she just protecting her son? Or is Mitchelle a monster in its purest form? Please note, this case contains audio from a very graphic and disturbing court hearing involving horrific accounts of child abuse in all of its forms.
