Jennifer Soto Refuses to Believe Daughter's Death, Defends Abuser Instead

Mind Behind The Crime | The Psychology Of Killers

Is denial enough to excuse a mother for failing to protect her child from alleged abuse and murder? In this chilling episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive deep into the disturbing case of Stephan Sterns, who allegedly abused and murdered 13-year-old Madeline Soto just one day after her birthday. The evidence, including graphic photos and a calm, cold interrogation, paints a horrific picture. While Sterns’ traumatic brain injuries are being pointed to by some, can they really explain away such monstrous actions? Meanwhile, Jennifer Soto, Madeline’s mother, remains an enigma—how could someone who saw the abuse first hand still instinctively protect Sterns? Shavaun Scott explores the psychology behind denial, emotional dependence, and why some parents fail to act when their children are in danger. But the biggest question remains: Is Jennifer Soto truly blind to the horror that happened under her own roof, or is there something much darker hiding behind her excuses?
