Darcey Freeman | When Hurt Becomes Harm

On 29 January 2009, four-year-old Darcey Freeman should have been starting her first day of school. Instead, Australia witnessed one of its most devastating acts of family violence. In this reflective episode, we look beyond the headlines to explore the psychology of anger, resentment and emotional responsibility. Rather than asking how could this happen?, we ask a different question: What happens long before violence? This is not a traditional true crime episode. It's a thoughtful examination of one of Australia's most heartbreaking cases and the lessons it continues to offer about the stories we tell ourselves, the emotions we carry, and the choices we make before hurt becomes harm.
