Ladson toddlers die of starvation after months of ignored welfare checks

Two toddlers, Emory and Harlow Deacon, died of starvation and dehydration in Ladson, South Carolina, after their mother, Justine May, failed to feed them for two weeks. Authorities had visited the home 13 times since August, including welfare checks and mental health crisis interventions, but found no immediate signs of concern. A 911 call on Sept. 29, prompted by a neighbor noticing May walking alone without her children, led to the discovery of the girls' bodies. May is charged with two counts of homicide by child abuse, while the sheriff's office faces scrutiny over its response.

Android phones revolutionize emergency response with automatic medical data transmission during 911 calls

Google's personal safety features in Android now include a feature that can send critical medical data to first responders during a 911 call. The technology relays information entered in the Personal Safety app, such as age, weight, blood type, and allergies, to a platform called RapidSOS. Over 15,000 911 and field responder agencies are connected to RapidSOS, which has been supporting medical data relay from iPhones since 2020. This feature is currently available on select devices, including recent Google Pixel devices, Nothing Phone 1, and others, and can provide crucial information to responders before they arrive at the scene.

Google's Android update tackles accidental 911 calls and urgent incoming calls

Google has made a change to the Emergency SOS feature on Android phones to prevent accidental 911 calls. Previously, five consecutive taps of the power button would automatically initiate a 911 call, causing issues for first responders. The new default setting requires users to touch and hold their finger on the screen for three seconds to confirm the call, reducing the likelihood of pocket dials. Users can still revert to the previous behavior if desired. The change went live in June and is available to all users. Samsung devices use a swipe gesture instead of touch and hold.
