Motherhood is often seen as a guarantee of safety. A bond that protects without question. But in rare and devastating cases, that \"guarantee\" falls apart completely.
This episode of a Cup of Coffee and Crime examines two troubling cases, both involving mothers, but unfolding in very different ways.

In Ohio, five year old Darnell Taylor was already known to the system. Removed once for his own safety, he was placed into care, only to still be unsafe. His death has raised questions about oversight, warning signs, and how a child already flagged as vulnerable could still be failed.
