About this listen

 When a Michigan father calmly told 911 that his baby was “dead as a doornail,” even the dispatcher couldn’t believe his tone. But what police found inside the farmhouse was far worse than anyone expected. Ten-month-old Mary Welch had wasted away from starvation.

Her parents, Seth Welch and Tatiana Fusari, claimed faith over medicine and refused to take their children to doctors.

What followed was a case that exposed how blind devotion, control, and fear can turn deadly inside a home built on fanatic beliefs.
