The parents of 12-year-old Jaysen Carr, who died from a brain-eating amoeba after swimming in Lake Murray, SC, are demanding action from state agencies. They say no agency contacted them after Jaysen's death, and there's no routine testing for the amoeba in lakes. The family's attorney is pushing for legislative changes, including mandatory lake testing and public safety advisories during high water temperatures. The family hopes to prevent similar tragedies and raise awareness of the risks.
