Episode 202: Dennis "Boo" Vaughan Jr. (Part 3)

Over the last two episodes, I’ve told you the story of five-year-old Dennis Vaughan Jr., known affectionately as “Boo,” who died in his grandmother’s house on Christmas Eve, 2019. Boo’s mom, Danielle Vaughan, fought to regain custody of her five kids, all of whom were under the guardianship of Danielle’s mother, Sherry Conner. Despite dozens of reports to DCYF, all alleging that Sherry was abusing her grandkids, they weren’t removed from her care until after Boo died. Now, you’ll hear my conversation with Danielle, who was candid, raw, and honest as she told me about the abuse and the trauma her kids endured in Sherry’s home. The details she shared had my jaw on the floor, and after you hear what Danielle has to say, I’m positive you’ll be as horrified as I am.
