In the United Kingdom, a 14-month-old boy has died after allegedly being given a lethal combination of drugs by his own mother, the very person entrusted with his protection. His body was then hidden in an attic, concealing the act from the world that might have intervened. His mother now faces criminal charges, and the case opens a painful reckoning with the limits of the systems society builds to guard those who cannot yet guard themselves. At the age when children are learning to walk and speak their first words, this child's story ended — not by accident, but by deliberate human choice.
