Shocking Fight to End Child Weddings

Ryan Wiggins reveals the disturbing truth about Florida's child marriage crisis and her years-long battle to change the law. From 2000-2015, Florida had over 16,000 child marriages, with Escambia County ranking as one of the top counties in the entire country for this practice. Ryan shares the heartbreaking story of Sherry Johnson, married at 10 years old to her rapist, and exposes the shocking opposition she faced from churches, parents' rights advocates, and even Florida's House Speaker. With child marriage back in the national conversation, this episode is a crucial reminder of why protecting children from exploitation—even from their own families—must remain a priority.
