TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: Why are these crimes that target young victims sometimes overlooked?

This week, we’re focusing on crimes that target children and adolescents, crimes that are often overlooked. These aren’t grizzly murder cases. They’re incidents that happen in a pattern, seemingly right before our eyes. Young athletes pushed beyond their limits until they die. Curious teens extorted to the point where they take their own lives. Jeffrey Epstein’s systemic abuse of girls. We'll also hear about the Charlie Kirk assassination case, the Lynette Hooker disappearance and a Michigan crime that’s become the inspiration for a novel and more.

Full Show 07/10/2026: We should be afraid of a President that's afraid of embarrassment

When President Richard Nixon lied about and covered up the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate building by his people - Americans - even Republicans - rejected Nixon’s lying and cover-up to the point where Nixon was left with no option but to resign. Today, if President Trump were guilty of the same lies and cover-up, he would still be supported by many Republicans and Republican politicians on Capitol Hill, and there would not have been a rally cry to resign. Is there a difference between lying and not being honest. Yes! Scoot explains the difference and with all the lying and dishonesty in the country it's important to know the difference.
