  • Summary

  • On the "Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski" podcast, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss the tragic case of Madeline Soto, a 13-year-old girl from Florida who was allegedly murdered by Stephan Sterns, her mother Jennifer Soto’s on-again, off-again boyfriend. The conversation explores the disturbing details of Madeline's life, marked by grooming, molestation, and abuse by Sterns, which Jennifer seemed to ignore or downplay. Scott suggests that Jennifer’s possible bipolar 1 disorder, combined with a lack of awareness or intelligence, might have contributed to her inability to grasp the severity of the situation. They discuss the troubling normalization of abuse in some families and how generational trauma might have affected Jennifer's reactions to her daughter’s abuse. The podcast also touches on the responses of Sterns’ parents, who seem to acknowledge his deep-seated problems, suggesting a pattern of long-standing issues. The episode highlights the need for better recognition and intervention in cases of familial abuse and raises important questions about accountability and mental health.
