Orlando, Fla. — The driver who is accused of leaving a three year old boy in a hot day care van for nearly 12 hours has been arrested.
51 year old Deborah Denise St. Charles is now facing charges of aggravated manslaughter in the death of three year old Myles Hill.
Orlando police say the boy was found dead in the Little Miracles day care van at around 8:30 pm Monday after temperatures in the vehicle reached as high as 144 degrees.
Police say her failure to check the vehicle placed Hill in grave danger and subjected him to extremely high temperatures, which ultimately led to his death.
Florida law requires a log to be kept for all daycare vehicles used to transport children, but police say St. Charles did not properly fill out that log or do a headcount on the kids when they arrived at the daycare.
