******* Spoiler Alert ********* I consider myself someone with a strong constitution and can normally tolerate even the most graphic of details. Children are always different. This one was troubling. Going forward, could you mark the episode as an Unsolved case? Especially if it is against a child? I prefer solved cases as they give you an ending to the story but I know others enjoy unsolved for various reasons. I suppose I wish I new I should have skipped this one. Otherwise, superbly done as always.
So sad and horrible.
Everybody - I saw the boy go into that man right there’s car. It was that man right there. Cops - NOPE
Great to bring awareness about trafficking disregarded in Portugal. Prayers for Mom and brave sex worker.
This story is devastating. I can't imagine seeing your child in photographs like Filomena had to view.
Well, that’s a terrifying case. Not a parent, but if I was, I think this would be my worst nightmare.
Bless 🙏
