Two Florida cases, two sets of parents, and two stories that should’ve never been allowed to happen in the first place. In the first case, six-year-old Anthony Rouse is found unresponsive in a bathtub. His parents claim he drowned… but the truth came out in text messages, a dog cage, and a sibling’s terrified confession. The second case takes another turn. Nine children removed from a home full of locks, plywood, vinegar spray, and stories no child should ever tell. It looked like an airtight child-abuse prosecution ... until it wasn't. Two cases and two endings no one saw coming. And a reminder that sometimes the most dangerous people in a child’s life are the ones tucking them into bed. Listen now to this Florida Man Friday. ************************************** Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you’d like to hear about?
