In this episode, we explore the heartbreaking case of Abiyah Yasharahyalah—a three-year-old boy who died of starvation and was secretly buried by his parents, members of an obscure religious group. His younger brother, known publicly as Child B, was later removed from the same household. Through court documents, safeguarding reviews, and media reporting, we look at how cultural beliefs, parental resistance, and professional failings combined to make these children effectively invisible to the very system meant to protect them.
CORRECTION: In this episode we stated: 'For two years, the body of three-year-old Abiyah Yasharahyalah lay underground'. This was incorrect. Abiyah was buried for three years before he was discovered.

Brian Williamson, Jamaica’s first openly gay activist, was murdered in 2004. This episode explores his life, the brutal hate crime that took him, and the legacy he left in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in a country gripped by homophobia.
Terminology Note:
This episode uses both “LGBT” and “LGBTQ+”. The term “LGBT” is used in historical contexts, quotes, or references to organisations that originally used that acronym. “LGBTQ+” is used when speaking about the broader, present-day community, acknowledging identities beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender — including queer, intersex, asexual, and others. The “+” symbol reflects the community’s diversity and inclusivity.
Organisation Note:
Throughout this episode, references are made to J-FLAG (Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays) — the name by which the organisation was known during the time of Brian Williamson’s activism and death. In 2019, J-FLAG rebranded as the Equality for All Foundation Jamaica, reflecting a broader commitment to human rights, equity, and inclusion beyond the LGBTQ+ community. For historical accuracy, “J-FLAG” is used when referring to events or actions prior to this change.
