A toddler died after being left in a car in New Jersey, law
enforcement sources said.
Lakewood Township police are investigating
the death of the nearly 2-year-old girl, who died Monday around 2 p.m.,
according to law enforcement sources.
A law enforcement source told
News 4 the toddler’s mother tried to take her to daycare, but the toddler
didn’t want to go in, so they drove home together.
At that point,
there was a miscommunication about whether the toddler’s mother or father
would bring the toddler in from the car, the source said.
Committeeman Meir Lichtenstein said warm temperatures may have contributed
to the toddler’s death.
Temperatures were in the 60s and 70s around
the tri-state on Monday.
