The Tragic Case of Braxtyn Smith
Shownotes
This week, Drewby and Yergy hop on I-95 and head up to Bangor, Maine, to discuss the case of Braxtyn Smith, a 10-year-old boy who died in February of 2024 following two years of severe, prolonged abuse, starvation, and physical restraint at the hands of his family. Because he was homeschooled and socially isolated, the extreme neglect went unnoticed by authorities until he was brought to a hospital weighing only 48 pounds. His tragic case resulted in a series of major criminal convictions and has triggered a sweeping state-level investigation. But as Maine residents, we have to ask ourselves... How the hell did this happen? AGAIN.
