Podcast:The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Published On: Wed May 27 2026 Description: What happens when warning signs are ignored—and the family court system fails to protect children? In this deeply emotional and powerful episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Hope Hooton, a mother who turned unimaginable tragedy into a mission for change after losing her two children, Alec and Lydia, to filicide. Hope shares the heartbreaking story of domestic abuse, mental health warning signs, custody decisions, and the devastating chain of events that led to the loss of her children. Hope explains the warning markers she believes were overlooked, including coercive control, mental health crises, and domestic violence risk factors, while detailing her efforts to pass the Alec and Lydia Act—legislation aimed at prioritizing child safety in family court decisions. She also opens up about faith, grief, healing, and how she is using her platform to advocate for families and prevent future tragedies.
