A fatal occurrence took place outside the Jelly Beings Early Learning Centre in Earlwood during the hot summer day in Sydney.
The rising temperature exceeded 30 degrees Celsius when staff discovered the helpless child in their daycare vehicle.
One-year-old Olivia Ancelet received fatal injuries when her father Etienne Ancelet arrived at the daycare to fetch her during that day.
The shocking news awaited him at check-in because the center personnel had not marked her attendance that day.
The residents near the scene received warning about the tragedy due to Mr. Ancelet’s panicked screams. Emergency services arrived rapidly but it was too late because Olivia Ancelet died at the site after medical staff declared her death.
The local police force headed a detailed investigation to determine what happened to Olivia after her death.
Law enforcement agents set up a crime investigation at the daycare facility while they conducted questioning of the father who provides support to their ongoing investigations.
According to Superintendent Christine McDonald the media saw him emphasize the risks posed to children from vehicles during hot weather.
According to the authorities this reckless behavior results in death before the end of the first hour.
Emily’s Early Learning in Ipswich released a statement about contacting parents when children miss their schedule after this event though they were not directly linked to the incident.
The child care facility members extended their sympathies through their statement which labeled this tragedy absolute.
The parents of Olivia Ancelet confronted the public with their words about losing their child.
Despite immense grief the parents said their daughter was “a sweet and beautiful baby” who brought light to their lives and their loss was unbearable for any parent to experience.
Leaving children on their own inside vehicles results in this tragic situation that reveals the acute dangers children face when unattended.
The police continue their investigation to establish both the complete circumstances of Olivia’s death and whether criminal charges can be filed about her passing.
