Ep. 121: Mary Bell
Episode description
There’s no hiding behind our wine, chatty anecdotes, or “fun fact” tangents: this story is dark. This week, Hannah tells Katy about Mary Bell, the 10 year old girl who murdered two toddlers before being taken off the streets. There’s not really a way to sugarcoat the story, or make her crimes less awful, but the girls do manage to talk about successful prison systems, and gush over some unrelated Critter content.
Pour your drinks, get your comfort animal (Stephen came off the wall for this one!) and setting in for the unsettling story of Mary Bell.
Content warnings: child abuse, sexual abuse, violence towards children, etc.
