The day-care facility was not registered to transport children, according to a state agency
Ewing's Love & Hope Preschool & Academy in Jacksonville, Fla. By Kayla Epstein Kayla Epstein Embedded audience editor on the National desk Email Bio Follow May 23 at 2:17 PM For almost five hours, the infant girl remained strapped in her car seat, forgotten in a day-care center van that was parked in the sun on a 91-degree day.
The day-care employees called emergency services, who attempted to resuscitate the girl and took her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Authorities have not released her name. On Wednesday, the Jacksonville sheriff’s office arrested the day-care center’s co-owner and director, Darryl Ewing, for child neglect. The 56-year-old was the sole driver of the van and was responsible for logging all the children transported in the vehicle, according to a department statement.
— Jax Sheriff's Office May 23, 2019 The sheriff’s office said his actions “failed to provide the victim with the necessary supervision and provide services to protect the victim’s physical health," which “contributed to the death of the victim.”Ewing’s Love and Hope Preschool Academy had not notified the Florida Department of Children and Families, which regulates day-care centers, that it would be transporting children, according to the agency.
“DCF immediately opened a joint child death and child-care licensing investigation in coordination with law enforcement,” DCF secretary Chad Poppell said in a statement. “We will continue to support this family as they mourn the loss of their baby girl.”
