**A Horrific Story of Child Abuse and a Wake-Up Call for the Community** The story of seven-year-old William Evans, who was found dead in a closet in Cincinnati, is a heartbreaking and infuriating reminder of the failures of our child protection system. The details of the case are shocking, with allegations of repeated physical beatings, burns, and water torture. The fact that this child was able to slip through the cracks and suffer such abuse is a tragedy that should never have happened. Mike delves into the complexities of the case, including the role of the adults involved and the failures of the system that allowed this to happen. The host shares his own experiences working in the criminal justice system and the importance of community involvement in protecting children. He also takes calls from listeners who share their own stories of child abuse and the importance of speaking up when something doesn't feel right. Mike also touches on the topic of politics, with a discussion about the recent primary election in Michigan, where a Democrat candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, has been criticized for his association with a controversial figure, Hassan Piker. The host raises questions about the implications of this association and the potential consequences for the Democrat Party. As we listen to this hour, we're reminded that child abuse is a complex issue that requires a community-wide response. We need to be aware of the signs of abuse and take action when we see something that doesn't feel right.
