A year after her death, most people remember Amanda Todd from her YouTube video, holding up handwritten pages describing how one mistake in front of a webcam led to her torment by bullies at school and online. But beyond that viral video, The Fifth Estate reveals a more complex and disturbing story about what happened to the B.C. teenager driven to suicide in October 2012 - not just bullying, but the deliberate sexual extortion of a 15-year-old girl by online predators. Host Mark Kelley goes deep into Amanda's world, with never-before-seen videos and web chats from two personal laptops that her family shared with The Fifth Estate. With in-depth interviews from her mother, father and friends, Kelley reveals the untold story. The Fifth Estate investigation also reveals at least five occasions in the two years leading up to Amanda's death when police were notified by her family or school about the blackmail attempts. Kelley asks - could RCMP have done more to protect Amanda when her family reported her repeated sexual extortion?

Cows Give Daughters More Milk


From the Curio.ca streaming audio-visual collection. Many human parents try hard to treat their sons and daughters equally. But when it comes to making milk, many mammals can be a bit unfair. Cows, for example, make significantly more milk for their daughters than their sons. Dr. Katie Hinde, an evolutionary biologist at Harvard University, discovered this, when she and her colleagues examined millions of dairy records. The study suggests that the bias begins during pregnancy, since dairy calves are separated from their moms at birth. The result seems to contradict a popular theory that moms with extra resources will favour their sons over their daughters, since the fittest males have the potential to create far more offspring than the fittest females. But Hinde thinks humans may also tailor their milk production for sons or daughters and that could have implications for how we feed our babies.
