From Impulse to Murder: Inside the Teenage Mind

In this episode, we discuss Hulu’s “The Scream Murder: A True Teen Horror Story” and the heartbreaking case of Cassie Stoddard. We get into the psychology behind teen violence — how impulsivity, peer pressure, and brain development can all play a role in extreme decisions. We also talk about how the justice system handles juvenile offenders, and whether punishment or rehabilitation makes more sense in cases like this. Along the way, we touch on mental health, parenting, and how early intervention could help prevent tragedies like this from happening in the first place.
