“Sweetheart, absolute angel. Just the sweetest little baby girl,” neighbor Carmela Parlato said of the young victim.
Another neighbor, Dona Heester, said she can’t fathom how the little girl could have been left alone by parents who are the “nicest people you would ever want to know.”
“She was a very attentive mother. She was on her children like a hawk – you wouldn’t find a better set of parents,” Heester said.
“I’ve known them for 20 years and she never left her children alone. And if she couldn’t make it home and the bus came she’d call me up and ask me ‘Could the kids come over here?’ Sure.”
Heester added: “Her house is armed with cameras, she knows everything that goes on for her family, inside and outside.”Comment

I just screamed at my 13 year old last weekend because of something like this. We were at a birthday party at a park and she was tired and wanted to lay down in my van, I let her do it and told her to roll down the windows and she didn't. Half an hour later and I went to check on her and the windows were rolled up, she was hot and sweaty. I belted in on her and had her get out.
She was fine thank goodness but she's tanned skin and she looked RED. I thought I had possibly overreacted but now looking at how an 11 year old died I know I didn't

"The child, later identified as Jaxon Stults, died before arriving at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie. A deputy coroner was called to the hospital. His death is believe to be heat related.
Police later arrested the child's mother, 28-year-old Britni Wihebrink.
Wihebrink faces a charge of neglect of a dependent and is being held in the Delaware County Jail on a $50,000 bond. - https://www.wishtv.com/news/local-ne...lle/1421474095 "

The Sheriff says deputies found an unresponsive baby and cardio pulmonary resuscitation was started, but the baby was pronounced dead at the scene.

"A 6-month-old East Texas girl has died after being left in a hot car and officers arrested her father on a charge of criminal negligent homicide.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office says 25-year-old Jackson Tetrick of Brownsboro said he forgot to leave his daughter with a baby sitter Thursday. Tetrick was being held Friday on $100,000 bond, with no attorney immediately listed to represent him.
Authorities say Tetrick said he took his wife to work Thursday morning, dropped another child at school, then went home before driving to work in Athens. He returned Thursday afternoon to school to retrieve the older child, then remembered the baby was still in her car seat. Temperatures were in the 90s. - https://www.chron.com/news/texas/art...r-13212444.php
The Florence County Sheriff's Office and the Florence County Coroner's Office are continuing to investigate the death of a 7-month-old child that happened Thursday afternoon.
According to a press release from Florence County Coroner Keith von Lutcken, the initial 911 call was received at 5:38 p.m. and first responders went to a home on Via Ponticello Road in Florence.
The infant, identified as Dean Emerson Coward, was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead, the release stated.
According to the coroner, the investigation is in its early stages, but it is being investigated as a "potential heat-related incident" from the child being left in a vehicle.

Please, God, make it stop.
There is no reason. None. No excuse. None.
Put your child first. Rewire your brain. Or something. This dear sweet innocent child you have has no reason for being except for both parents, make it count. PLEASE. Nothing on earth is as important as that little breath of life in that car seat. Not your schedule. Your effin cell phone. Your work. If you're exhausted find someone to care for that child while you sleep. Stop working until you get your act together. Call each other to make sure your child, who depends upon you 100%, has been taken proper care of. And yes, even though it should NOT be our responsibility as providers or educators, if your day care child does not show up, follow up on them!!! It might be just enough to stop this terrible tragedy from happening. Even just once. So what if it takes you a minute?? One lousy minute is not enough to upset your whole day or routine. PLEASE change something within your life, to make your child/ren #1. Because it CAN happen to you. God forbid, it can happen to you. Don't let your own living breathing child become another hot car statistic. There will be no take backs. Don't be selfish. Don't be in denial. Plan, be proactive, concentrate and think.

It makes you wonder how many of these could be planned. Have you ever thought about that?? It makes me cringe. But it'd certainly be a tough thing to prove if it's an accident or not. It makes me think there should be criminal charges of some kind. Jail maybe not. If it's truly an accident jail wouldn't take away the prison term they've already created for themselves. Community service for years, yes. To teach others to be aware, that it can happen to them. It needs to cost them, whether valuable time or money to invest in programs to make people aware or create more devices for car seats/cars that would become mandatory.Comment

I totally agree with you on this.
lovethis We need more awareness, and who better to help with that. And I'm sure some of them are intentional. Parents have murdered children before. They start reading about hot car deaths, almost never with charges, and hey, that's what I can do.
Accident or not, something should be done. Think about it this way. 2 people get in a fight. It goes out of control and one gets killed. The other person gets charged with manslaughter. It wasn't intentional. It was an accident. Most of the child deaths were also an accident. Why no manslaughter charges there?Children are little angels, even when they are little devils.
They are also our future.Comment
