## Resource

In the sweltering heat of a South Carolina summer, a nonverbal 13‑year‑old girl with cerebral palsy was left to perish inside a locked Volkswagen Jetta while her mother and the mother's boyfriend argued, took drugs, and reconciled just feet away. What the security camera captured was not a momentary lapse in judgment but a six‑hour descent into willful neglect, exposing the chilling gap between what we call an accident and what the law rightfully deems murder.
