Woman charged with manslaughter after she left her boyfriend's 4-year-old son in hot SUV for six hours
A woman from Florida has been charged in the death of her boyfriend's 4-year-old son, whom she left inside a hot SUV for more than six hours.
Reports said 27-year-old Mariah Butler from Orlando was arrested on March 19 and charged with aggravated manslaughter and child neglect in the death of Logan Starling.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office has said that Logan was one of five children who Butler had taken to the Elite Preparatory Academy, where she worked as an administrative assistant, in September last year.
Four of the children had gotten out of the SUV with Butler and entered the school by 8:20 am, but little Sterling was left behind in the car. Investigators also said that Butler didn't realize that she had left the toddler in the car until the child's teacher asked her at the end of the school day why Logan had been absent from school, the Daily Mail reported.
