In Baltimore, a two-month-old girl named Aida died from injuries that medicine could not reconcile with the explanations her parents offered — one invoking the supernatural, the other a household accident. Her death, and the days of delay before she received care, now sit at the center of a legal reckoning that asks what was known, when it was known, and what was left undone. The case is a reminder that the most vulnerable among us depend entirely on the choices of those closest to them, and that when those choices fail, the law must speak where the child no longer can.
