Hey everyone. I'm Andrea Canning and we are talking Dateline. Today I'm

here with Keith Morrison and the producer of this episode, Liz Brown. Hello to

both of you. Hi Andrea. Hello. Hi Andrea. Okay this episode is called

Broken Circle if you haven't listened to it yet it's the episode right below this one on

your list of podcasts.

So go there and listen to it and then come back here.

Today, Keith has two interview clips

that he's going to play for us that we're not in the show.

To recap, in 2020, a 21 second video filmed secretly at a religious reform school in Missouri went

viral on Tik-Tock.

Within weeks, the local sheriff launched an investigation into possible abuse at the school and the school closed.

What was surprising, the person who had posted the video was none other than the daughter of

the school's owners, and Amanda Householder was on a mission to stop her father no matter what the personal cost.

Okay, Liz and Keith, let's talk Dateline.

So let's just start with how sad this episode made me feel for these teenagers.

It was heartbreaking to think that their parents were sending them there to try to do right

and then they're subjected to this everything,

this manual labor, sexual abuse,

and it goes on and on.

When I looked at the Tik-talk video, I mean my gosh. Knock her out.

Yes, sir.

I mean it.
