Police in Dallas, United States of America, are investigating the death of a two-year-old child whose parents abandoned her in the family car on Friday.
According to Child Abuse Unit investigators, the child, Nariyah Raufu, had returned with his parents from a day at Fair Park alongside her siblings .
The parents then went inside their home to take a nap and forgot about Nariyah who was left in the hot car.
“[Nariyah’s] parents stated that they believed all children had exited the vehicle when they returned home,” the police spokeswoman Senior Cpl. Melinda Gutierrez said in a written statement.
The family only noticed she was in the car when the father went outside to work on his car and found her strapped in a child safety seat.
“He immediately removed the child from the vehicle and took her inside where he called 911 as the mother performed CPR for approximately 30 minutes,”Gutierrez said.
She was then driven to the Children’s Medical Children’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 7:05 pm.
As of the moment of publication, child protection services have been alerted but the police have not raised any charges against the family.
