(Re-Release) Episode 147: Alexavier Pedrin (Part 2)

Author: Suffer the Little Children January 28, 2026 Duration: 52:16
Note: This episode was originally released on June 2, 2023.

In the last episode, I began telling you the story of six-year-old Alexavier Pedrin, whose short life was filled with constant family turmoil and frequent involvement by various CPS agencies in his home state of Wisconsin and others. After Alexavier’s mom went to prison, his father eventually stopped letting her side of the family see their son, allowing the abuse and neglect Alexavier allegedly suffered at the hands of his father’s girlfriend run rampant.

In this episode, I’ll tell you about the police’s welfare check on Alexavier the night before his death; the circumstances surrounding his death on February 11, 2023; the resulting police investigation, and the very recent arrest of a woman who took the responsibility for caring for Alexavier but never should have been allowed near children in the first place.

This is part two of the infuriating story of Alexavier Pedrin.

Suffer the Little Children centers on the stories of children lost to abuse and murder, aiming to restore their narratives and dignity beyond the headlines. This podcast meticulously details individual cases, often weaving in the perspectives of surviving family members and advocates to create a fuller, more human picture of each tragedy. The host approaches these difficult subjects with a commitment to factual clarity and a deep sense of respect, ensuring the victims are remembered as people, not just statistics. Listeners will hear detailed examinations of systemic failures, legal proceedings, and the long-term impact on communities, framed within broader discussions about child welfare and protection. It is a challenging but necessary listen, designed to foster awareness and understanding rather than sensationalism. By dedicating each episode to a specific child's story, the Suffer the Little Children podcast creates a space for remembrance and reflection that is both sobering and vital. The content naturally intersects with societal, cultural, and scientific aspects of how such crimes are perceived and addressed.
