11-Month-Old Georgia Baby Dies In Hot vehicle While Family Attends Church

According to a statement by the sheriff’s department, the infant had been with members of the family, including grandparents, who were returning from church.

Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson told CNN the grandparents, “Kyle and Meta Hendershot took the baby, Jaxon, to church in Chickamauga”, that report states.

When she woke up a few hours later, she asked where her child was.

Initial reports say that the grandparents were babysitting the child on Saturday while the child’s mother, an emergency room nurse, was sleeping at home after her night shift. It was at this point the grandparents realized the child was not in the home. Temperatures inside the vehicle may have reached more than 170 degrees, according to detectives. When she awoke and requested the place her baby was, the household then found that the kid had been left in the hot auto, in line with WGCL. “She brings the child back in the house the adults put him in cold water, trying to revive him, bring him back”, said Wilson.

“It appears that there were other things on their mind”, Wilson continued.

Jaxon’s mother attempted CPR and the baby was rushed to the hospital where she works but he was declared dead.

Widespread attention was brought to the issue in 2014 after a Georgia father spent an entire day at the office while his almost 2-year-old son was still strapped in his vehicle seat. An autopsy will performed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s medical examiner in Atlanta. Justin Ross Harris has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the death of 22-month-old Cooper Harris.
