In a compelling episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott provides a deep dive into the tragic case of 13-year-old Maddie Soto. With 60 criminal abuse charges filed against Stephan Stearns, the situation reveals a dark tapestry of abuse and manipulation within the family unit. Key discussion points include:




Maddie's Mother's Behavior: The interviews depict a mother overwhelmed by anxiety rather than grief, raising questions about her truthfulness and potential complicity in her daughter's abuse.
Stephan Stearns' False Narratives: Stearns' pre-arrest interview showcases a lack of genuine emotion and a propensity for fabricating stories, hinting at manipulative and narcissistic traits common among perpetrators of abuse.
Dissecting Family Dynamics: Scott suggests that Maddie's mother may exhibit dependent personality traits, prioritizing Stearns' needs over her daughter's safety, a phenomenon alarmingly common yet often overlooked.
Complicity and Rationalization: The conversation underscores the mother's potential rationalization of Stearns' actions and her own role in the abuse, pointing to deep-seated psychological issues and a history of manipulation within the family.
