Daeun’s law: cannot leave children unsupervised no longer the 24hrs


Daeun’s law: cannot leave children unsupervised no longer the 24hrs
The Issue
On July 31, 2021 In the city of West Columbia my 14 yr old son Daeun odom was shot and killed at a friend residence. He was picked up from his home roughly around 3:30am and brought to the home by a teenager he perceived as a friend. The home owner of this home was not present for a total of three days which his negligence played a part in my son’s death. Currently there are no laws in effect that covers or make it a crime for children 12 and older be left unattended. If a law is put into effect it could possibly have made it where it was not a pattern behavior to leave teenagers in the home that many number of days without fear of consequences. I hope to make it a law so this will not affect another child or there family and friends!
