Episode 158: Christian Crossland

Suffer the Little Children

Christian Crossland spent most of his short life in the care of family friends, Brittany and Trevor Easton, who took Christian into their Indiana home and loved him like their own. In January of 2022, Christian’s biological mother, Chelsea Crossland, took him back from the family who doted on and adored him. In under three months, Christian was dead.
This is the story of a little boy with a bright smile and a personality to match. It’s also the story of the woman who gave birth to him, let another family raise him, and then spent 74 days systematically starving and ultimately beating him to death.
This is the tragic story of Christian Crossland.
