August 9, 2010 in Delray Beach, Florida Haile Brockington was left in a Day Care van for hours. Amanda Inman was the driver of the van and had left her in her car seat because she did not see Haile in there.

According to Florida law, drivers transporting children must keep a log and  two other people besides the driver must sign off on the log after a physical sweep of the vehicle is done. The director of the facility admits to signing off on the log without actually looking in the vehicle.

Haile was two years old when this occurred and was in the sweltering van for hours. The temperatures in the van rose to more than 130 degrees while she was in there. Unfortunately, Haile died as a result of the Day Care’s negligence. The parents do have a wrongful death suit filed against the Day Care company and after this incident they lost some of their funding and had to shut down.
