Parents have to trust caregivers. It’s just a fact of life. Often we feel more comfortable with a family friend than a daycare. That’s what Tiffany and David Shell did for their daughter Annie. They trusted Brandi Giannunzio. She babysat their two youngest daughters. She was good with their girls. They had no reason to believe Brandi would leave their girls with her boyfriend.

And then they had to face the unthinkable. Hosted and produced by Erica Kelley Researched and written by Erica Kelley & Gemma HarrisOriginal Graphic Art by Coley Horner Original Music by Rob Harrison of Gamma RadioEdited & Mixed by Brandon Schexnayder and Erica Kelley RESOURCES FOR CHILD ABUSEVisit this website for preventing Shaken Baby SyndromeUS National Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-422-4453For resources specific to each state, visit this websiteCanada: visit this website to find the hotline in your areaUK Child Abuse Hotline: 0808 800 5000Visit this website for help recognizing child abuseSources: https://southernfriedtruecrime.com/annie-burkett-shellThis episode is brought to you by:  Don’t pull the covers over your head, your health is too important.
