A Florida woman has been arrested for aggravated manslaughter of a child after a 10-month-old she was caring for was found unresponsive in a car with an internal temperate of over 133 degrees, according to a Baker County Sheriff’s Office arrest report
According to the report, Rhonda Jewell is accused of leaving the baby unattended in the vehicle for “at least 5 hours” while outside temperatures reached 98 degrees Fahrenheit, which resulted in the 10-month-old’s death. The report said Jewell was supposed to be babysitting the infant, along with three other children. She had picked the girl up at the parents’ home and driven to another location, where she was going to babysit all four children.
“It wasn’t until the decedent’s mother arrived at the address to pick up her child, that the decedent’s mother found her to still be strapped in a car seat inside the hot vehicle,” the report added. The detective investigating the case examined the 10-month-old, who was pronounced dead at a hospital, and found the child’s skin to “still be very hot to the touch.
