The Price Of Carelessness

A four-year-old child was left to die in the heat in a van.  In Dallas, which is hellish this time of year.

Dallas police said doctors at Baylor pronounced him dead at the hospital.

Family members have gathered at the hospital and identified the child as 4-year-old Benjamin Price.

Dallas police Lt. Scott Walton said the little boy was left in the van outside the day care after a field trip.

So yeah, again... utterly preventable.  A painful, horrible thing.  This is why daycares have head count and other procedures to double check and make sure kids aren't left behind.

** Note: other sources are saying three years old.
