115. Filicide; When a Mother Takes the Lives of Her Children: The Murders of Sharon Castro and Brooklynn Youngblood

We live in a broken and increasingly broken world, of that there is little doubt when you take a look around yourself.  You see mental and physical health struggles, you see death and assaults everywhere.  Within our homes we see divorces, domestic assaults and even murder.  I think for a lot of us true crime lovers out here, one of the most baffling things is when you hear about a parent taking the life of their own child or children.  Sadly, I have covered that a lot on this podcast.  There are many people who can have dark thoughts or even act out on awful things but from where I sit, it certainly takes an incredibly awful human being to be able to watch as the life leaves the eyes of their own flesh and blood.  This week, we are going to talk about that.  We are going to talk about a woman who admitted that her plan was double homicide and suicide when it came to her and her two children, but instead what it became was double homicide and 78 years in prison without the chance of parole.  Intro Music: Provided by Gallagher Music Social Media for GBNF: GBNF on Facebook GBNF on Twitter GBNF on Instagram GBNF on TikTok GBNF on Youtube GBNF on Patreon
