In twisted irony, the police offered prayers to the family.

11-month-old dies after being left in car while parents went to church: Police (WESH-TV, Daytona Beach, Fla.)

An 11-month-old baby girl has died after being left in a car for three hours while her parents attended a Florida church service, police said.

Police in Palm Bay responded Sunday around 1 p.m. to a report of an unresponsive infant in a vehicle.

“When they arrived, they learned the infant had been left in a car for approximately three hours while the parents went to the church service,” the Palm Bay Police Department said in a statement.

The infant was transported to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased, police said Tuesday. A police department spokesperson did not have the time of death available.

No arrests have been made in the case at this time and the investigation is ongoing, police said.

“This is an unfortunate incident, and our condolences and prayers go out to the family,” Palm Bay Police Chief Mario Augello said in a statement.

Lies. It was deliberate. This is one of the consequences of people who bitch about children in public spaces being too loud or fussy. Parents leave them in places where they can be injured or killed instead.
