Here on Stolen Lives, we discuss brutal and heartbreaking crimes against children.

Themes may include child murder, torture, and sexual domestic and child abuse.

I do try my best to remain respectful for the babies in these stories,

and leave out unnecessary details that honestly,

none of us need to know to understand the frustration of why and how

this ever happened. However, if you find any of these themes triggering this podcast may not be

for you. Listener discretion is advised. This week's episode is a listener's suggestion.

Thank you to Ruby for bringing Logan's story to my attention.

This story feels almost unbelievable to me.

Unbelievable in that Logan's murder was allowed to happen.

There were so many warning signs here, so many red flags. Logan's murder was allowed to happen. There were so many warning signs here,

so many red flags. Logan's mother literally telling police she wanted to hit him as hard as she

could. She would tell anyone who would listen how much she hated her children, even telling

boyfriend she wanted to murder them. Child protection took Logan away only for them to repeatedly give him back.

I just don't understand this world where this child's death was allowed to happen.

I would also like to recommend a podcast.

If you listen to this episode today and want a more in-depth discussion into Logan's story,

I recommend the long-form podcast looking for Logan Tucker.

I have taken some news grabs from this podcast.

It includes interviews with Logan's brother and his mother while in prison.

Definitely worth a listen if you have a spare three hours.
