## Resource

A seven-year-old boy, Casper OBrien, died from heart failure worsened by extreme obesity after being left neglected and bedridden in a filthy home—his parents, Damien and Jessica, now face murder, torture, and child abuse charges. Despite having health insurance and jobs, they ignored their children’s medical needs, even calling a vet for their dog while Casper suffered cardiac arrest. His five-year-old sister, found running naked and feral, is in foster care. This case exposes a chilling failure of parental responsibility and systemic neglect.
