Social services, the agency responsible for protecting vulnerable children from neglectful environments, failed in its duty after leaving a 3-year-old boy to lose his life in a hot car.
Three-year-old Ke’Torrius Starks Jr. was under the care of a Department of Human Resources worker in Birmingham, Alabama, when he tragically passed on Tuesday (July 22).
Tuesday was a First Warning Impact Day, with the heat index in the triple digits, local NBC affiliate WVTM13 reported.
