MIAMI (AP) – A Florida Police say the woman is facing criminal charges in the death of a 2-year-old left in a hot car.
Prison records showed Saturday that Juana Perez-Domingo, 43, was charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child. The bond is set at $50,000, and no attorney is listed for the woman.
Police said Perez-Domingo allegedly drove the young girl to the nursery in Homestead early Friday morning. She drove her daughter to her own home first – the daycare wasn’t open yet – and then got distracted and forgot about the child until she got back in the car seven hours later.
A Miami-Dade police report said Perez-Domingo called the child’s mother and then drove her home. The child later died.
Police said Perez-Domingo also did not have a driver’s license. An autopsy was scheduled for Saturday.
