Episode Details

Two women in Ontario stand trial for first-degree murder in the death of a boy they were adopting. The seven-year-old was found severely malnourished and hypothermic in their basement, leading to charges of neglect and unlawful confinement. The trial, filled with testimony from teachers, doctors, and the women themselves, hinges on whether the boys death was due to intentional starvation or an eating disorder. The defense argues for acquittal, claiming they sought professional help repeatedly. The case raises questions about adoption oversight and the broader failures of child aid and medical professionals. The judge will announce his decision on April twenty-fourth.
