Über diesen Titel

 Welcome to Voices Against Filicide, where Hope Hooton courageously shares her personal story of losing her two children to filicide at the hands of her estranged husband. Through her journey, this podcast shines a light on the silent epidemic of filicide—an often-overlooked tragedy rooted in custody battles, domestic violence, and untreated mental illness.

Each episode will look a little different, Hope will be solo or inviting other parents and advocates to share their stories, break the silence, honor the innocent lives lost, and push for the systemic change so desperately needed.

Join us as we navigate the complexities of grief, raise public awareness, and build a community of support and action.

    This episode covers a TikTok Live event featuring Hope, the creator behind 'Voices Against Filicide,' a podcast aiming to raise awareness about the tragic phenomenon of filicide, the murder of a child by a parent or caregiver. The event includes discussions about the emotional rawness of the podcast, Hope's personal story of losing her children Alec and Lydia in 2024, and her advocacy efforts, including the upcoming Alec and Lydia Act in Arizona aimed at reforming family court laws to better protect children. The conversation also highlights the podcast's transition from focusing on filicide cases to including interviews with other affected parents, professionals, and legislators. Future events, such as upcoming book releases, speaking engagements at crime conventions, and ongoing legislative advocacy, are also discussed.

  • The Skelton Brothers: A Case of Unresolved Tragedy and New Developments

    The Skelton Brothers: A Case of Unresolved Tragedy and New Developments
    Nov 15 2025
    In this episode, Hope revisits one of the most heartbreaking missing children cases in recent history: the disappearance of the Skelton brothers — Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner — who vanished over Thanksgiving weekend in 2010. Host Hope Hooton walks listeners through the chilling timeline leading up to their disappearance, the deeply troubled family situation surrounding the case, and the emotional aftermath that has lingered for more than a decade. Recently, a major development has shaken the case: new murder charges filed against the boys’ father, John Skelton. This episode explores what these charges mean, how we arrived here, and why continued awareness is critical. You’ll hear about:
    • The last known days before the boys went missing
    • The complicated family dynamics and contradictory accounts
    • How the community mobilized and continues to honor the boys
    • The family's enduring pain and unwavering hope
    • The significance of the newly filed charges and the impact on the investigation
    This episode is both a remembrance and a call to action.
    We urge listeners to share this story, keep the memory of Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner alive, and continue spreading awareness. Anyone with information, no matter how small it may seem, is encouraged to come forward. Because their names — and their story — should never be forgotten.
