The infant boy found unresponsive in his mother's car had 'never entered the daycare on the day of his death' and may have been in the vehicle for an extended period.
Nelly Mayorga, the founder of Sol Solecito daycare, stated the infant was typically in attendance but did not show up on Tuesday, leading to concerns from the daycare.
The tragedy highlights a concerning trend, as 38 children on average die each year in the U.S. from being left in hot cars—this incident marks the 22nd hot car death in 2024.
According to the Kids and Car Safety organization, 'In an overwhelming majority of child hot car deaths, it was a loving, responsible parent that unknowingly left the child,' signifying the tragic nature of such accidents.
