... allegedly failed to render medical assistance or first aid to a person in distress

Distressed, as in, bleeding out? Or distressed, as in, having a tantrum?

The individual was left in the care of a family member who later sought medical attention, police say. They were later transported to the hospital and subsequently released.

Later sought medical attention... patient was subsequently released... to me, this doesn't sound like they were in some kind of urgent, life-threatening danger.

Could the news not be less vague about what happened? It would change the entire content of the headline.
