Thirty years after the horrific murder of 6-year-old "Peter Boy" Kema, the state of Hawaiʻi has agreed to a $3.25 million settlement with his surviving siblings, Chauntelle, Allan, and Lina Acol. In this episode of The Other Side of Paradise, host Lynn Kawano details the newly reached agreement, which ends an eight-year civil lawsuit and requires a formal apology from the state.

Through emotional interviews, Peter Boy’s siblings share their lifelong battle with trauma, survivor's guilt, and the "big exhale" of finally reaching a resolution. The episode also exposes critical, sworn testimony of systemic failures within Child Protective Services, including ignored and delayed abuse reports in early 1997 that ultimately cost the young boy his life.
