Parents Leave Child Inside Closet With Heater On. Child Died




The parents of a 2-year-old girl, who was found dead, were arrested in Indiana, USA.


Sintia Perez, 21, and Jace Hirschy, 23, were accused of leaving their daughter inside the closet, with a heater that left the space heated to a temperature of 43ºC. Excess heat is behind the girl's death.


The parents were arrested on November 27 and charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in death.


When authorities received an alert to go to the family's residence, the couple was in the company of two other children aged 3 and 5, in a house full of rubbish, where cockroaches were detected, as well as a pot on the stove burner full. of mold.


The parents stated that they had put the girl to bed the night before, with the heater in the room on. But they were unable to respond to the authorities when they questioned them about the fact that they had not gone to see the girl, after so many hours without showing signs of life. Note that the girl was found dead at 3pm the next day.


The couple is being held in the Adams County Jail, with their trial scheduled for March 7, 2025.
