Unfortunately, Kaylea's parents did not take good care of her. When emergency workers found her, she was in a terrible state. Her room was very dirty, and she was lying in a bed that was so filthy it wasn’t fit for anyone to use. The room smelled very bad, and there were even flies and maggots on her body. She was wearing dirty clothes and lying on soiled bedding (The Independent) .
Kaylea was very overweight when she died. She weighed nearly 23 stone (about 322 pounds), which is much more than is healthy for someone her age. Her parents didn’t help her with her diet and let her eat a lot of unhealthy food. Because of her weight and her condition, she developed severe health problems, including painful ulcers on her skin. A doctor who examined her said she hadn’t been properly washed for a long time, and her toenails hadn’t been cut for months (The Independent) .
Kaylea's father, Alun Titford, and her mother, Sarah Lloyd-Jones, were both found guilty of neglecting her. They didn’t do the basic things needed to take care of her, like keeping her clean and healthy. Her father admitted that he didn’t help much because he felt lazy, and he thought her mother was taking care of everything. Her mother admitted to being guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence, which means she accepted responsibility for causing Kaylea's death through her neglect. Her father was found guilty after a trial (Yahoo News UK) (The Independent) .
A child practice review into her death concluded: “Child A [Kaylea] was not subject to a care and support plan at the time of her death. Although multiple health professionals participated in the delivery of her complex health care, this was not coordinated by a single agency or practitioner who had a holistic understanding of her complex health and care needs.”
