Summary
Last week, I started telling you the story of eight-year-old Raylee Browning, who died in the home of her father, his girlfriend, and the woman’s sister after years of unthinkable abuse. Raylee’s death was infuriatingly preventable if only CPS and the family court judge hadn’t ignored countless abuse complaints from Raylee’s mom and school staff.
In this episode, we’ll go over the results of Raylee’s autopsy and the shocking number of medications she was prescribed. I’ll talk about how and why Marty Browning Jr., Julie Titchenell, and Sherie Titchenell put just Raylee, one of four kids in the home, through years of abuse and neglect. I’ll go through the shocking statements one of Julie’s children made to a counselor, cementing the three adults’ criminal charges. Finally, I’ll also discuss proposed legislation that would protect many homeschooled kids from abuse and why, almost four years after its proposal, it still hasn’t been passed by the West Virginia State Senate.
This is part two of the harrowing story of Raylee Browning.
