A child died this afternoon after being being left in a car on the parking lot of an elementary school in Pleasant Grove.
The toddler was taken to a local hospital where the toddler was pronounced dead. The baby is believed to be about one years old.
The mother of the child is a teacher at the school and was being questioned Friday, police said.
Authorities say the incident began about 1:20 p.m. when a high school student noticed that a child had been left in a car at Frank Guzick Elementary School. The student called 911, broke a window out of the car and removed the child from the vehicle, which was parked in an employee lot at the school in the 5000 block of Berridge Lane
The student began CPR on the child, authorities said. Dallas Fire-Rescue medics responded to the scene and placed the unresponsive child into the back of an ambulance where “they immediately began implementing several life-saving measures, including CPR,” fire department spokesman Jason Evans said.
The ambulance transported the child to Baylor University Medical Center, where the child was pronounced dead.
 
I can't understand how or why a parent would leave a child in a car alone. Maybe they just don't care but I would die if something had ever happened to my daughter when she was young same with my grandson now. What the hell are these people thinking these are little children that cannot take care of themselves. Maybe the parents need to be locked in a hot car, see what they put these children through!

A woman who was charged in connection with the death of her 1-year-old daughter in a hot car at a Dallas elementary school last week told police she was certain she dropped the child off at day care that morning, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Vibha Marks, 42, faces a second-degree felony charge of child abandonment in the death of Victoria Marks. A witness found the child strapped in a car seat and unresponsive in a vehicle parked at a Buckner Terrace area elementary school on Friday afternoon.
Responding Dallas police officers confronted the mother inside Frank Guzick Elementary School, where she works as a teacher, the documents said.
“Is something wrong, what did I do?” Vibha Marks asked, according to police. “Is my husband OK? I’m a good person, did I do wrong? Did something happen to my baby at daycare?”
During an interview at the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center, Marks told investigators that, “she was certain that she dropped the [child] off at day care,” police said.
Marks had clocked in at the elementary school at 7:45 a.m. and her daughter had apparently been strapped in her car seat from that time until 1:26 p.m.
Marks posted $50,000 bond and was released from the Dallas County Jail on Saturday morning, according to jail records. The Dallas school district has placed her on administrative leave.
The facts of this case appear to be similar to so many other tragic cases across the country in recent years. In many cases when authorities determine the death was an accident they do not file criminal charges.
Gene Weingarten won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for his heart-wrenching Washington Post Magazinepiece about the terrible phenomenon.
More to come.
