Manage episode 469719650 series 2429740
Halifax, NS - Feb 2025
When a six-year-old boy was stabbed in a random attack in downtown Halifax, shock and outrage followed. But as details emerged, a deeper, more troubling story came to light—one of untreated mental illness, missed warnings, and a system that seemed unable to prevent this tragedy.
In this episode, Jordan and Madelayne examine the case of Elliott Chorny (the 19 year old perpetrator) via publicly available documents, media reports, and Chorny’s own online writings. The resulting discussion reveal’s Chorny’s lifelong struggle with mental illness, her warnings of impending violence, and the many red flags that went unanswered.
Was this tragedy preventable? Did the system fail Elliott, her family, and most of all the young victim?
