About this episode

This episode discusses the abuse of a foster child by a seemingly perfect family and the subsequent legal charges against them.

Joel Kohnert was a lieutenant with Broward Fire Rescue, and his wife, Jennifer Kohnert, was a stay-at-home mom. The Kohert's life in social media looked picture-perfect. But the state attorney in Broward County, Florida, said the Kohnerts abused their 12-year-old foster daughter for years. And now, the Kohnerts face new charges related to the biological children.
