SC mother charged with homicide after two toddlers found dead in Ladson home
Justine May, 31, has been charged with two counts of homicide by child abuse after her two young daughters, Emory and Harlow Deacon, were found dead in their Ladson home on September 29. May told officers she could not remember the last time she fed the children. The case has sparked a debate over the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office’s response to repeated welfare calls, with Rep. Nancy Mace demanding an independent investigation.
