  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. In
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: this episode, we're going to talk about an absolutely disgusting
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: story coming out of Kansas. And this story has to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: do with a five-year-old girl who was kicked out of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: her house by her mother and who subsequently ended up
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in a homeless camp. At this homeless camp, she was
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: not only brutally assaulted, but she was murdered. And this
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: all comes after Child Protective Services had been called out
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to this house where this mother and this child previously
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: lived numerous times. And like in so many stories previously,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: CPS failed. And this is an ongoing theme with Child
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Protective Services throughout the country. How many children that end
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: up in their care end up going missing or end
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: up having something happen to them or they get homed
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: with some degenerate lunatic who's molesting them? And no matter
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: how many of these reports are out there, no matter
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: how many of those reports are proved to be true,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: nothing ever changes. And CPS overall continues to be a failure.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And while obviously the blame of this goes onto the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: shoulders of the man who killed this little girl, I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: would say that CPS has to shoulder some of this
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: blame as well for not doing their job correctly. Today's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: article is from The Messenger and the headline, Five-year-old Kansas
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: girl was kicked out of house by mom before she
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: was raped and murdered. Everybody loves Zoe except for her parents.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: The neighbors routinely call police and child protective services, but
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: as far as they could see, the young girl's living
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: conditions never improved. So if CPS has to be called
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: out to somebody's house... all these times, how is it
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that that child isn't removed from that situation? And furthermore,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: who's the one who made the decision not to remove
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this child? This article was authored by Nick Gallagher. The
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: mother of a five-year-old girl in Topeka, Kansas, reportedly kicked
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: her daughter and other family members out of their dilapidated
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: home weeks before the young girl was brutally raped and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: murdered at a nearby homeless encampment. First of all, How
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: do you kick your daughter out of your house at
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: five years old? Second of all, how the hell have
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: we fallen so far as the society that a five-year-old
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: girl ends up in a homeless encampment? I guess Tupac
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was right back in the day, huh? We got money
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: for war, but we can't feed the poor. Got people
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: out here in camps, got people out here killing five-year-old girls,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: walking around like zombies. But sure, let's pump more money
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: all around the world into a bunch of conflicts that
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: really have nothing to do with us. because that's a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: great idea. I mean, if everything was just fantastic here
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: at home, then great. But we have our own problems
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: here in America that are not being addressed. And in fact,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: they're being ignored. And the more they're ignored, and the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: more they're swept to the side, the more stuff like
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: this is going to occur. Michael Cherry, spelled Mickle, was
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: arrested Tuesday on suspicion that he murdered and sexually assaulted
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Zoe Felix. They are believed to have lived in the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: same home, along with Zoe's father, mother, and teenage half-sister,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the Topeka Capital Journal reported. The group relocated to a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: nearby campsite after Zoe's mother, Holly Jo Felix, 36, reportedly
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: expelled them about two weeks ago. Imagine this vile, disgusting,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: skafooza throwing her little five-year-old daughter out. What should happen is,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: whoever is renting her that house or apartment or whatever,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they should throw her out, and she should have to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: go live at that encampment now. Either that or she
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: should be arrested for neglect and a whole bunch of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: other shit. Neighbors said the home frequently had no heating, AC,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: or running water, and that the floors were littered with
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: dog feces. Zoe was often left to wander the neighborhood
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: or navigate the house's unsafe conditions alone. I can't even
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: express how much disgust and anger and sadness I have
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: for this little girl. Imagine this little innocent kid, five
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: years old, and this is the situation that she has
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to live in right here in the good old United
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: States of America. And it's not like it was some secret.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: CPS knew what was going on. They were called out
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to this house numerous times, according to these reports. Did
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: they do anything to help her? No. The system failed.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Her mother failed. And we, unfortunately, as a society, failed
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: as well. Those who live nearby told Kansas City's KCTV
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: they knew Zoe wasn't being properly cared for and had
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: routinely called police and Child Protective Services. But as far
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: as they could see, the young girl's living conditions never improved.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Some offered the girl food and clothes when they could.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Zoe has been on her own the entire time. neighbor
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Sharon Williams told the outlet. I'm trying not to cry,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: said Shaniqua Bradley, another nearby resident. I've honestly been sick.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It's disgusting. And I'll tell you what, the helicopter ride
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to the volcano? Well, that's too good for this dude.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: He should be taken apart piece by piece instead. Holly
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Felix is currently on probation for aggravated battery stemming from
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: an incident last year. She was convicted of causing great
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: bodily harm against a victim who referred to in documents
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: as ZF, with a 2018 birth date. Presumably her daughter, Zoe.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So she was beating this girl, and she still has
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: custody of her? Way to go, CPS. Who's in charge
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: over there? And how come there's never any accountability? Jeffrey
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Epstein dies in custody? Ah, no big deal. We'll just
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: put out an OIG report. This happens here with this
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: little girl? Ah, no big deal. You know, she just
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: slipped through the system. It's nobody's fault. I call bullshit
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: on that. And I really hope that the CPS division
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: is held accountable here for their role in this. If
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they've been called out multiple times and they never did
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: anything to help this little girl and this is how
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: she ends up, you mean to tell me that nobody
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: should be held accountable over at CPS? In the same case,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: she pleaded guilty to driving under the influence with a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: child in the vehicle, other charges, including two for domestic
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: battery and one for criminal restraint, were reportedly dismissed at
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the time. See, with somebody like this, I wouldn't dismiss
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: any charges ever against them. I would hit them with
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: every charge possible, that way all the charges piled up,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and then, when she got enough charges, and she screwed
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: up enough times, I could put her behind bars for
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a bunch of years. I've had enough of people like this.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: How much more clear do I need to be? and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: any of these DAs out there that are letting violent
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: criminals out without bail, without any kind of accountability, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: hope that these victims' families start suing these district attorneys,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and we'll see what's what then. She was previously convicted
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of possessing stolen property and domestic battery in Nevada. and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: was at one point barred from having contact with Zoe's father,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Ezequiel Felix Guerrero, as well as another victim believed to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: be Zoe's half-sister, per the Capital Journal. Officers with the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Topeka Police Department responded to a medical call near a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: gas station around 6 p.m. Monday and found the firefighters
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: trying to save Zoe. She was reportedly discovered in a
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: field near the homeless encampment where she and Cherry had
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: been living. Zoe was taken to the hospital but was
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: later pronounced dead. A stuffed animal, backpack, and pink hairbrush
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: were found inside the tent. And I'm trying to keep
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: my rage in check here, but the man responsible for this,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: this Michael or Mickle, whatever his name is, I'd love
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: 15 minutes with him. 15 unsupervised minutes where I would
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: not get in trouble for whatever would happen. And I
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: promise you, he'd feel it. Every last minute of it,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: he'd feel it. And then when he thought it was over,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that's when it would all start again. Somebody like this
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: truly is evil, and they have zero place amongst us.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Anyone who looks at a little child and has these
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: sorts of thoughts, has these sorts of plans, is somebody
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: that does not deserve to breathe one more breath of air.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And that's just how I feel. Although Cherry and Zoe
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: had apparently lived with each other at various points, the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: nature of their relationship remains unclear. Officers visited Zoe's home
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in September of 2022. Although there was no power at
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the time, they left her in the care of her
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: family because she was in good spirits and the parent health,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: according to police reports obtained by KCTV. Breaking news, if
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: there's no running water, if there's no electricity, if there's
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: no power, she's not in good health. Take that child
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: from that home. Are you kidding me right now? The
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: owner of the home, Angela Massengill, who lives at a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: different residence in Topeka, told the Topeka Capital Journal that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: she had recently begun to clean the exterior of the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: property after the city notified her about its condition. The
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: city had to notify you? You don't go and show
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: up and check on your property as a landlord, make
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: sure that your residents are good and the rest of it?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Where I'm from in New York, we call that a slumlord.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: No complaints of traffic or illegal tenants were brought to
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: my attention previously, she said. Relatives, including Holly Felix's cousin,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Brandy Sutcliffe, McArdle, said they had no idea that Zoe
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: wasn't being cared for. Any one of us would have
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: jumped at the chance to take this little girl in
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and provide her a home, she said. A GoFundMe campaign
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: is reportedly organized by Sutcliffe. McArdle's brother describes Zoe as
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a sweet, funny, goofy little girl who had a great
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: smile and laugh that lit up the world. Cherry was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: arrested on suspicion of murder and rape of a victim
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: younger than 14 and booked into the Shawnee County Jail.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: His bond is set at $ 4 million and will next
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: appear in court on December 21st. Everybody on the block
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: took care of Zoey. Cheryl Tyree, a neighbor, told the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Capital Journal. Everybody loves Zoe, except her parents. Yo, that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: shit hits me in a different place, folks. You know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: we read a lot of horrible stuff here, but I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: was very hesitant to even add this story to the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: catalog because I knew how damn agitated I'd be after
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: reading it. But this poor little girl deserves to be remembered,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and the piece of shit who did this deserves to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: be taken apart, piece by piece, right along with her
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: skafooza-ass mother. All right, folks, that's going to do it
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: for this one. If you'd like to contact me, you
• 10:53
