The podcast episodes relate to the topic of child abuse and neglect in several ways. The first episode, 'The Truth about Ruby Franke', describes disturbing incidents of a Mormon 'influencer' mother abusing and neglecting her children through deprivation and cruel punishments on the advice of a therapist.
The second episode, 'The Cookie Monster KILLER: Harrison Frank Graham', discusses the traumatic childhood in the foster care system as a factor contributing to the later crimes of a mentally disabled man who murdered several women.
