In Florida, a 42-year-old mother, Shirlene Alcime, is accused of leaving her 3-year-old twins to die in a car on an interstate overpass before attempting suicide by jumping onto train tracks below. Prior to their deaths, she reportedly took the children to McDonald’s and Chuck E. Cheese to give them a final “good day.” Alcime faces two counts of child neglect, with potential additional charges pending completion of the investigation. Toxicology results on the children are awaited, and she has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
