Toddler dies after being left in hot van

A 2-year-old left inside a hot daycare van in Lancaster for more than two hours on Friday died early Tuesday.
The boy, whose name has not yet been released, had been in critical condition at Childrens Medical Center in Dallas. He died about 12:15 a.m., hospital officials said.
Police said the boy and nine other children had returned from a field trip to a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant about 1 p.m. Workers realized that he was still strapped in a car seat inside the van about 3:25 p.m. and called 911. Temperatures topped 100 degrees Friday afternoon.
Representatives for the Little Dudes and Daisies Daycare and Learning Center on North Dallas Avenue could not be reached for comment.
Lancaster police have scheduled a news conference for Tuesday afternoon to announce criminal charges to be filed in the case.
The Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, the agency that regulates daycares, is also investigating.
[Police] are evaluating the incident, said Stacey Ladd, a department spokeswoman. Mostly, were evaluating the safety of the children. Obviously, were working closely together.

'bout time y'all showed up! Well, I didn't know the thread was here. Told ya'll in the Hobbit Hole this morning how much this report upset me.
But, I was over at Sam's trying to get my 2nd job. You know the one where I help pay the baby's way through Master's Commission now. Do you think that if she trips and falls while she's over in Germany it's going to be my fault because I'm getting this 2nd job so she can do like she wants and study for ministry?

Oh well I did the prepaid tuition and a couple of CD's but they have worked to have spending money and car insurance and the youngest has his BS putting himself through Grad school and the oldest graduates with BS in Aug and marries high school sweety in Sept. I had the means and they understand a dollar.

Day care is the big issue for the RATS and they want to make it obligatory. Watch Hitlery head the Day Care brigade ("It Takes a Village" was all about how society has an obligation to make sure that kids get day care. Just wait until SARS shows up in schools and day care centers next winter. Will they quarantine them?

Nice job with the HTML, even if you did plagiarize my post. I didn't "plagiarize" your post-- I used your own words against you.

I used your own words against you. Not very effectively. You missed that point too.

namecalling, interesting, I hope the Moderator makes a note of that.
To: RomanCatholicProlifer
even at night to make sure their memories of home are happy, and not frantically being shuffled off to some daycare warehouse. I know this is just going to blow your socks off but both my children are adults now and both of them also have happy fond memories of daycare. Still have friends from those days. Amazing how kids adapt to situations when you just love them like they ought to be loved.

Rationalization is the strongest human drive.......thanks for making that point.

My views are indeed dying out. This means that your children and your grandchildren will be raised in an increasgingly-matrilineal and matrifocal society. These types of societies are, interestingly enough, quite brutal to women, since men have little invested in their well-being. If you are happy with this, who am I to argue with you?
To: RMDupree
great minds..

It's one thing to be rude and ignorant. It's another thing to be prideful about it. I feel for your children.
To: Redbob
The mother of this child certainly deserves a big share of the blame Pretty stupid statement.

All three of these were stay at home moms. But they had to make a nasty choice. And I am being their friend and supporting their decision. Good for you. And as somebody who's been in some of those awful situations, I'd like to say thank you for supporting those ladies. They need it.
