This Cop Failed to Recognize the Danger in Leaving Her Toddler in a Hot Patrol Car For 4 Hours
Many children who perish in hot cars were left because they were completely forgotten, but some infants and toddlers remain in their parent's vehicles on purpose, because their moms and dads fail to recognize the danger.
When Police Officer Cassie Barker visited a fellow cop at his home after they completed working night-duty together, she left her 3-year-old daughter in the patrol car with the engine running. Hours later, when Mississippi authorities discovered the toddler in the unattended car, young Chyenne Hyer was unresponsive.
The child was rushed to Hancock Medical Center as CPR was performed but was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital.
Police estimate that the little girl was left for up to four hours, and even though the air conditioner was on when they arrived, they believe the toddler died from the heat. As investigators wait for autopsy results, Cassie and her friend, Sgt. Clark Ladner, have been placed on administrative leave with pay.
"Somebody is going to be accountable for the baby's death," Hancock County Chief Investigator Glenn Grannan said. "There isn't a reason so far that has happened that would indicate that Cassie wouldn't be held accountable in some way under the guidelines of Mississippi's criminal code. But it's our responsibility to look at all the information."
