#278: American Murder: The Family Next Door Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

Laura, Jim and Lisa deconstruct the number one Netflix show 'American Murder: The Family Next Door' about the murders of Shanann, Bella, Celeste and Nico Watts committed by husband and father, Chris Watts.

Warning: this is an extremely distressing watch and our breakdown is a tough listen. Unfortunately that's the utterly horrific reality of familicide - or family wipeouts - and there are many myths and misconceptions about family annihilators, which we will unpick across this series.

In this episode Laura and Jim seek to deconstruct what you are seeing on screen as well as identify the key behaviours and warning signs leading up to this catastrophic family wipe out committed by Chris Watts.

Our thoughts are with Shanann's, Bella and Celeste's family and friends.

Coercive control significantly correlates with femicide and familicide. We must make the non-physical abuse - coercive control - and the abuser visible. We must ensure the perpetrator is held accountable for their behaviour.

Please sign and share the petition and help us create pressure and momentum so that the government acts now and criminalises coercive control. This will save lives.
