At the age of 14, an orphan listed in court documents as “J.M.” lived on the streets of Elgin for about four months, sleeping in abandoned cars, sheds and even a burnt-out home. On March 16, a jury awarded J.M., now 17, $150,000 in a judgment against the S.C.

The judgment came almost exactly two years after being filed in the Kershaw County Clerk of Court’s office in March 2016.
