10-Month-Old Baby Died After Locked In Hot Car; Foster Dad Arrested

What's up with people leaving their babies in hot cars?  We've seen this time and time again.  No excuses!

A foster parent was arrested today in the death of a 10-month-old girl who had been left for hours in a hot car, according to Wichita police.

Police got a call reporting a baby left on the backseat inside a car just before 7 p.m. on Thursday.

“We arrived on scene just a little before 7 p.m. on Thursday night,” Lt. Dan East, Wichita Police Department spokesperson told ABC News. “The girl was unconscious and unresponsive.”

The child was pronounced dead minutes after paramedics arrived on the scene, according to a police report by the Wichita Police Department.

The foster child was in the care of two men, who were questioned by the police on Thursday night. Attempts to reach the two men for comment were unsuccessful.

The foster couple had been trying to adopt the 10-month-old girl they had cared for nearly all her life. They also had three other foster children, ages 3, 5 and 18; and had two adopted children, ages 5 and 7, who were from the same biological parents as the 10-month-old girl.

"The 5-year-old and 7-year-old have been taken from the home and put in protective custody," East said.

“The 29-year-old dad picked up the girl from the babysitter and left her in the car,” East said.

“The two men were watching TV when the foster dad saw something that reminded him of the girl, and he ran outside and got the child out," East said. "They appeared really upset when we arrived on scene."

The girl's distraught maternal grandmother, Cindy Poe of Topeka, Kansas, demanded to see her granddaughter's body and her two other grandchildren who were taken away on Friday morning.

"I want answers," Poe told The Associated Press. "I want to know why my grandbaby was in that car."

Shortly before 1 a.m. Friday, police officers arrested Seth Jackson, 29, for aggravated child endangerment. The second man, 26, was not arrested. The case will be presented early next week to prosecutors.

Jackson has not yet been officially charged or arraigned.

Thursday’s highest temperature reached 96 degrees, which meant temperature could have surpassed 135 degrees in a closed car after an hour, according to The Weather Channel.

Penn States imprisioned coordinator Jerry Sandusky's adopted son opens up too Oprah about sexual abuse for first time

Years of silence, Matthew Sandusky, the adopted son of imprisoned former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, is opening up about his suffering as the victim of repeated sexual abuse.

On Thursday, July 17, Sandusky's first public interview will air as he answers questions from Oprah Winfrey on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) at 9 p.m. ET, according to the Huffington Post.

Matthew, currently married and a father himself, will describe the grooming patterns and routines he endured while being raised by Jerry and Dottie Sandusky.

The Post says Matthew will respond to Dottie Sandusky's accustions against her husband's victims and share details on Jerry Sandusky's nightly ritual. He is one of six children Jerry and Dottie Sandusky adopted.

Jerry Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 on 45 counts of child sexual abuse, found guilty of raping or fondling 10 boys he had met through the acclaimed youth charity he founded, The Second Mile.

Matthew had originally been expected to be a defense witness for his father until the trial, when he told investigators that he also had been abused by Jerry Sandusky. At the time of the trial, Matt Sandusky claimed the abuse started when he was 8 years old. He recalled in a police interview that he would pretend to be asleep to avoid being touched.

He since petitioned for a legal name change for himself and his family and was one of 26 people who won a monetary settlement based on the abuse.
