A 10-month-old child in Florida has died after her babysitter left her in a car while babysitting other children, authorities said Thursday.
Rhonda Jewell, 46, was charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child, according to a report from the Baker County Sheriff's Office, after being accused of leaving the infant child unattended in a vehicle that was not running "while outside temperatures were 98 degrees Fahrenheit with temperatures inside the vehicle reaching over 133 degrees for a period of at least 5 hours."
The incident unfolded around 8 a.m. local time on Wednesday when Jewell picked up the infant from the child's mother's home in north Macclenny, a city about 30 miles west of Jacksonville. She then drove to another home in the city where she was babysitting other children.
