In this heart-wrenching true crime story of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, Ky tells you the tragic case of 21-month-old Nova Lei Bryant, a toddler who drowned while under the care of her foster mother, Hailynn Volpatti. This mini episode sheds light on the heartbreaking circumstances surrounding Nova's death and the controversial decision by Child Protective Services to remove her from her biological family due to her mother's ADHD diagnosis.

Ky passionately discusses the implications of this decision, questioning the rationale behind placing Nova in a foster home rather than providing support to her biological family.
 
Ky shares her personal experiences with ADD, emphasizing that a diagnosis should not define one's ability to parent. She calls for accountability from CPS, urging Nova's biological family to seek justice.

Join Ky as she navigates this emotional case, offering insights into the responsibilities of parenting and the systemic issues within child protective services.

Question: Do you think Nova's parents should sue CPS for accountability?
