🚨 A Call That Came Too Late
Two-month-old Alora Faye Broussard was rushed for help after being found unresponsive. What doctors and investigators discovered next was devastating: severe dehydration, extreme malnourishment, and a catastrophic spinal injury—evidence, authorities say, of prolonged neglect and abuse rather than a sudden medical emergency.

🧸 Silent Suffering
Alora was barely beginning her life when it was taken from her. Investigators believe she endured unimaginable suffering in the place meant to protect her most. The findings have shaken even seasoned responders, leaving many to ask how such cruelty could go unnoticed.

⚖️ Charges Filed, A Search Ongoing
Her parents, Kaylee Fontenot and Taylor Broussard, now face first-degree murder charges. Kaylee has been arrested, while Taylor remains on the run, prompting an active manhunt as authorities vow to bring him to justice.

🌎 A Wake-Up Call Beyond One City
Alora’s death has sparked painful conversations far beyond Opelousas—about recognizing warning signs, reporting suspected abuse, and ensuring vulnerable children are never overlooked. Advocates stress that protecting children requires vigilance from families, neighbors, and systems designed to safeguard them.

🕊️ Remembering Alora
Though her life was heartbreakingly short, Alora’s name now carries a purpose: to remind the world that every child deserves safety, nourishment, and love. Her story is a call to action—so that no cry goes unheard and no suffering is ignored.

💔 Justice Sought, A Promise Made
As the search continues and the legal process unfolds, one truth remains unshakable: Alora mattered. And the fight to honor her life—with accountability and change—has only begun.
