Mistin is a momma of three beautiful children. Her children were removed outside of her care. She shares her journey of finding her voice and sobriety. Sadly, not all parents have great representation. Many times parents are lost in the system. Their personal faults are exposed publicly and in ways that belittle them. Their strengths are minimized and their progress ignored. Mistin shares her story of how the system took her voice away, but how she turned her story around and found empowerment which led to her founding her voice. If it wasn't for her voice and strength she may not have reunified with her children.
Mistin's story shines a light on what many parents experience in the foster care system. And shares how words of encouragement and support from Case Managers and GALs can shift a parent's mindset. We hope through her story we can shine a light on the importance of listening and getting to know the parents in child welfare. And how letting parents speak their truth can impact reunification.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
