Summary

Charlotte, 17 months: one breath would have saved her.

Charlotte Pratt, not yet two, lay motionless in a crib as an innocent victim in Pittsburgh, PA. Her life, filled with love yet barely begun, ended on April 6, 2018. Her mother, Jhenea Pratt, placed a fateful 911 call that would reverberate sorrow through their community.

When responders arrived, Charlotte was silent, save for the concerned whispers of neighbors caught unaware. Officials reported the red liquid at her nose and mouth and began piecing together a puzzle that would expose an unsettling truth.

Jhenea's trial revealed lapses in judgment with devastating consequences, highlighting the importance of alertness and responsibility for those in her care. Courtroom dramas unfolded as details emerged, shifting public focus to prevention and protection in child welfare.

This episode revisits calls and courtroom exchanges, immersing you in the raw reality of personal loss and its reverberations. Listener discretion advised.
