A little girl with a name as gentle as Harmony should have had a life filled with bedtime stories, scraped knees, and warm arms to run into. Instead, Harmony Montgomery was handed off like paperwork between systems, disappearing into broken homes and blind spots.

She was five years old. She had an eye condition that needed care, a laugh that stuck with people, and adults in her life who either couldn’t or wouldn’t protect her. For over two years, no one officially noticed she was gone. Not neighbors. Not schools. Not the agencies assigned to check in.

This episode is not just about one child. It’s about the terrifying consequences of silence, apathy, and the cracks in a system that was supposed to be her safety net.

You’ll walk away from this story thinking not only about Harmony, but about every child who doesn’t have a voice loud enough to be heard. And maybe you’ll question what we’re really doing when we say we’re protecting children.

This story was heartbreaking. Get tissues ready!! Allison did great telling Harmony's story with compassion.This little girl was failed by so many people.. Allison please never apologize for showing emotions you do such an amazing job researching and exploring the tragic circumstances- there is no way with stories like this that you can keep your heart from being touched. This is one of the reasons I love the podcast- you & Mike are great and the emotions you bring/allow to show is part of what makes your podcast great. i was driving and I had to pause for a few minutes to compose myself- I was getting emotional and when I heard you start to get emotional I really lost it.. lol..

You & Mike have hearts and I can tell you both genuinely care. I appreciate Mike and his opinions-- I will say "I 💯 agree with him when he says whoever should be done with and off the face of the earth" (my wording not Mikes).

Thank you for telling Harmony's story and all the other stories/lives you share. My heart still hurts for this precious little girl and I hope the ones responsible are forever suffering.

I will definitely support your podcast as soon as I am able to.

As for your banter I LOVE IT!!
