USA – A child has died after his family left him in a hot car while they attended separate Bible studies at a Dallas church, according to reports.
Each parent thought the other had removed the boy from the car. 45 minutes into their studies, they realized that their youngest child, Boi Lei Sang, was missing.
“Every kid comes out of the main service room, and they would read the Bible and sing, and they would go back into that room,” fellow church member Reng Om told media. The couple’s son didn’t enter with the rest of the children.
The father then ran to the car and brought his son inside.
“He looked like bad,” Om said. “He was grabbing his kid, and the kid would not move, and said, ‘I need somebody, help, call the police.”
The child died later that evening in a hospital. The temperature outside Sunday had reached 100 degrees.
A pastor, consoling the Burmese family that now has four children instead of five, invited FOX4 into the family’s Dallas home on Monday.
It was difficult for reporters to communicate, but what did translate was the love and support from friends and family who are visiting them, a day after 2-year-old died in the family’s SUV.
Child Protective Services is using a translator to talk to Sang’s parents, to make sure their other four children, still in the parents’ custody, are safe.
Please pray for the family as they deal with this tragedy.
