Back at it again with episode 10! We can't believe it! Rose is deliriously happy (and sick, with real fever and Christmas fever, oh boy #itsthehayfever). Chelsea hits us with our first female offender, Georgia Tann. But before she tells us about the worst den mother ever, Rose takes us to one of her favorite haunts in Manchester: BrewDog.

Due to poor treatment in Tann's care, many children died in her custody. Only a handful of which were buried in Tann's cemetery plot in Elmwood Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee. These few children were buried in unmarked graves, and listed in paperwork only as "Baby [first name]." In 2015, the cemetery raised $13,000 to erect a monument on the plot in the children's memory.
