This video tells the heartbreaking and important story of 16-year-old Sylvia Likens — a case that shocked the nation and became one of the most disturbing child abuse tragedies in American history. We break down who Sylvia was, how she and her sister ended up in the Baniszewski home, and the months of abuse that went unnoticed until it was too late.

Sylvia’s death in 1965 forced America to confront the dangers of silence and the failure of adults and bystanders to protect a vulnerable child. Her case sparked national outrage, fueled support for stronger child-protection laws, and helped push forward mandatory reporting requirements still used today.

In this video, we look at what happened inside the Baniszewski home, the warning signs that were ignored, the investigation that followed, and why Sylvia’s story continues to be studied in social work, psychology, and true-crime fields. Her tragedy remains a powerful reminder that speaking up can save a life — and that child protection is everyone’s responsibility.

Netflix has just dropped Unknown Number: The High School Catfish, a shocking new true crime documentary from director Skye Borgman (Girl in the Picture, Abducted in Plain Sight). This chilling story follows a small Michigan town torn apart when teens began receiving anonymous, threatening, and vulgar messages from an unknown sender. What started as cyberbullying spiraled into a nightmare that left the entire community in fear — until a jaw-dropping twist revealed the truth. In this episode of the Honestly Anything Podcast, I break down the documentary, share my thoughts on the story, and explore the bigger issues it raises around catfishing, online safety, and the impact of digital harassment on mental health.
