The baby girl was found unresponsive inside a car in a community outside Jacksonville, Florida. 46-year-old Rhonda Jewell has been charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child following the infant's death. At around 8am on Wednesday morning, July 19, Jewell picked up the baby from the child's mother's residence in north Macclenny. She had been the infant's babysitter since June on multiple occasions. Jewell then drove to another residence in south Macclenny where she was going to babysit other children as well, police said. However, when she arrived, she went into the house, allegedly forgetting the baby in the car. According to the report, Jewell is accused of leaving the baby unattended in the car for "at least five hours" while temperatures outside reached 98F (36.3C). Jewell told investigators that when she got to the home, she assumed the baby was asleep, so went inside and started intereacting with the other children, "completely" forgetting about the baby, according to the report. It wasn't until the girl's mother arrived, at around 1pm to pick her up, that Jewell realised the baby had been left in the car. The 10-month-old was taken to Fraser Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The detective investigating examined the child, and found her skin to "still be very hot to the touch". Medical staff took an internal temperature, which read 110F (43.3C) - however they stated 110 "is [the] highest temperature the thermometer could read". Jewell was subsequently arrested and delivered to the Baker County Detention Center, according to police. She had an initial appearance yesterday morning, Thursday, July 10, with her bond set at $25,000){kind=link}
