周一下午,佛罗里达州普兰泰申市一所学前班外的SUV里发现一名23个月大的男童已经死亡。当地警方正在调查这起幼儿死亡事件。
Plantation police and fire crews went to A World of Discovery Academy around 5:39 p.m. Monday after a report that a child was dead inside a vehicle, according to a police post on X on Tuesday.
警方周二在社交平台X上发帖称,普兰泰申警察局和消防局于周一下午约5时39分接到报警,称一辆车内有儿童死亡,随后出警前往"A World of Discovery Academy"幼儿园。
Fire officials declared the child dead at the scene. Detectives then opened a death investigation. Police said they had no more details at that point.
消防人员在现场宣布孩子死亡,侦探随后展开调查。警方当时未透露更多细节。
Leslie Novoa, who owns the academy, told ABC Miami affiliate WSVN-TV that she called 911 after she and the boy's father found the toddler in the back seat of his SUV.
幼儿园园长莱斯利·诺瓦告诉ABC迈阿密旗下WSVN-TV,她和孩子的父亲在父亲SUV后座发现这名幼儿后,立即拨打了911。
"The dad came to pick up his child," Novoa said. "When he got to the parking lot, he realized he had forgotten the child. He never dropped the child off at school."
诺瓦说:"孩子父亲来接人,到了停车场才发现把孩子忘在车上了,他根本没把孩子送到学校。"
The family had sent children to the preschool for years, Novoa said. This toddler was their third child at the school.
诺瓦说,这家人在这所幼儿园就读多年,这名幼儿是家中第三个在此念书的孩子。
"They're a very loving family," she said. "Unfortunately, this happened."
她说:"他们是很爱护孩子的家庭,可惜还是发生了这种事。"
Investigators worked at the scene for several hours, WSVN-TV reported. A tent was set up around the SUV.
据WSVN-TV报道,调查人员在现场工作数小时,还在SUV周围搭起了帐篷。
Novoa asked parents to always check the back seat before leaving their cars.
诺瓦提醒家长,离开车辆前务必检查后座。
"Make sure you drop off the children at school," she said. "Double-check the back seat. It's just to make sure you did the right thing."
她说:"开车时要确认孩子已经送到学校,还要反复查看后座,就是为了确保没有疏忽。"
By Tuesday afternoon, Plantation police had not said whether anyone would be charged. ABC News has asked the department for more information.
