EP. 14 MINNESOTA - The Abuse & Murder of Three Year Old Dennis Jurgens
2Description
April is child abuse prevention month, so today, we want to tell you a story about a little boy named Dennis Jurgens, who lived in Minnesota. He was born in 1961 and his child abuse story not only opened the eyes of the people in Minnesota, but of people all around the world. Abuse happens everywhere, to people of all ages, and we hope that this story will bring awareness to this overwhelming issue, an issue that continues to deeply haunt society today. And before we start this episode, we want to add an extreme warning. What we are about to discuss is horrific, and may not be suitable for all audiences. This story contains extremely disturbing details of physical abuse to a child, so listener discretion is strongly advised.

I was born in 63. Child abuse was common. I grew up in a similar household. We moved several times, 10 different schools. Like Dennis, my father looked away and worked several jobs. We moved when people started finding out. Preachers knew, teachers knew, neighbors knew. My dad just kept moving us from town town, state to state. My mother died when I was 18. Years later, Im diagnosed with complex PTSD, bipolar, extreme anxiety and depression. It never goes away
