The Case of Heather Baynard

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to South Carolina to discuss the sad case of Heather Baynard, a 14-year-old girl living with spastic quadriplegia, a form of cerebral palsy. Due to her condition, her 21-year-old brother, Edward, became her State sponsored caretaker. But due to the pandemic, no one actually stopped into the Baynard home to make sure that Heather was actually being taken care of. So when her parents brought her to the emergency room and plunked her down like a "sack of potatoes" and it was clear to everyone that Heather had been dead for some time, there were of course, question as to how this vulnerable teenage girl was allowed to suffer and die in such a horrific manner.
