In this midweek mini, we're thrust into the narrative of Kristel Candelario's unthinkable act of child neglect. The summer of 2023 paints a grim picture as we follow Kristel from Ohio to Detroit, and then to the shores of Puerto Rico, where she indulges in a vacation, broadcasting her carefree moments on social media. But the façade of beachside bliss shatters upon her return home to reality on June 16. Left behind was her 16-month-old daughter, Jaylin, who endured ten days of solitary neglect, leading to a tragic, preventable death.

As the story unfolds, we're confronted with a mother's shocking disregard for her child's life, juxtaposed against her pursuit of personal pleasure. Despite her initial deceit to investigators, the truth emerges through an autopsy revealing starvation and severe dehydration. The courtroom drama intensifies as we hear the prosecution's scathing remarks and Kristel's feeble attempts at contrition.

This episode is a sobering reminder of the fragility of innocence and the profound consequences of parental abandonment.
