FLORENCE, SC (WBTW) – A live-in caretaker has been arrested and is charged with neglecting an elderly person.
The charge stems from an incident Thursday, when Kimberly Schoolcraft failed to provide help for hours after the elder fell.

Investigators say Schoolcraft “placed the adult at an unreasonable risk of harm by failing to provide aid to the adult who had allegedly fallen for approximately 11 hours.”
