The episode begins with Steve Wilkos introducing the case and explaining how the mother, Nicole, has been accused of neglecting and abusing her child, ultimately leading to her death.
As the show begins, Steve welcomes Nicole onto the stage and asks her to share her story. Nicole begins by tearfully recounting how she found her daughter unresponsive and how she immediately called for help. Despite her efforts to save her child's life, the toddler ultimately passed away, and Nicole was left to grieve the loss of her beloved daughter, as well as fend off accusations that she was responsible for her death.
