60 Minutes S2023E09 - Maybe Theybe, The Body in the Suitcase

Maybe Theybe
It's not at all unusual, in fact it's often quite lovely when new parents coo that their baby is the cutest and cleverest one ever born. But early in their lives do small children have big enough brains to make the biggest decisions? Like whether they're a boy or a girl? A growing group of mums and dads think they do and are embracing what is known as "gender creative parenting". The parents are deliberately keeping the sex of their babies top secret because they say the children themselves should be free to decide who they are. And as Amelia Adams discovers, that means the little ones are being raised not as baby boys or baby girls, but as theybies.

The Body in the Suitcase
In a London courtroom late last year, 38-year-old Jemma Mitchell from Melbourne was found guilty of a despicable crime. She murdered her friend, Mee Kuen Chong, chopped up her body, stuffed it into a suitcase and dumped it near a remote English beach. The evidence against the Australian was overwhelming. Multiple CCTV cameras showed Mitchell wheeling the suitcase around London. But there's now a twist. Mitchell's mother claims her daughter is innocent and that a terrible miscarriage of justice has occurred. In an extraordinary interview with Tom Steinfort, Hilary Collard says she knows the truth because she saw what was really packed into the suitcase.
