Prosecutors in South Carolina charged Saylor Hayes’ parents—70-year-old John Hayes III and 31-year-old Geordyn Hayes—with placing a child at risk or willfully abandoning a child in connection with the 5-year-old autistic girl’s death; court records show the couple previously faced child-abuse charges and had a history of drug use.
