Timestamps - (10:45) Moms Who Murder

A study by Brown University showed that from 1976 to 2007, on average, there were 500 cases of filicide a year in the United States. Filicide is the deliberate act of a parent killing their own child.

Police were called to a home in Florida on May 30, 2025 for a welfare check on Ra’myl Pierre. School officials were worried about his absence. When authorities arrived at the home, they found Ra’Myl’s mother, Rhonda Paulynice, acting ‘oddly’. Ra’myl was found dead and wrapped in a blanket in the house. It is alleged that Rhonda killed her son in an attempt to exorcise him of evil spirits.
On May 26, 2025, neighbors in Bundaberg, Queensland in Australia called police after they allegedly witnessed Lauren Flanigan in the front yard with her deceased daughter, Sophia. Lauren is alleged to have stabbed her daughter to death. She was taken into custody. Lauren suffered a ‘medical emergency’ in her cell and was taken to hospital where she passed away on 1 June, 2025. A full investigation into her death has commenced.
