The Boston Globe has just given us a little more insight into the death of little Avalena Conway-Coxton as well as what happened to the other child. Avalena was the little girl who died in foster care last week in Auburn Massachusetts as you should remember.
A toddler who is in dire condition after being taken from an Auburn foster home last weekend was found with skin that was hot to the touch and an elevated temperature as well as bruising that may be consistent with a seat belt harness, according to two people familiar with the case.
The symptoms suggest the 22-month-old foster child may have had hyperthermia, the medical term for being greatly overheated, the people said. Authorities have not said how the child may have become overheated, or identified the cause of death of a 2-year-old foster child who was also found unresponsive in the home Saturday.
Temperatures in the area were in the 80s at the time. Authorities towed away the foster mother’s SUV on Sunday, but have not divulged why. They executed their third search of the house on Wednesday.

I realize that there is an ongoing investigation into this, but if that was a real mother she'd be sitting in jail by now.
