A community in Houston, Texas is mourning the loss of a three-year-old who died in a hot daycare bus.

Onlookers were heartbroken as officers and medics arrived. 

Kenneth Brooks was one of them. He watched as almost 30 children got off the bus around 3:00 p.m. Wednesday.

Only one child did not, and no one knew he was missing until his father came for pickup.

“Next thing I know a few hours later the dad and the owner came out and was crying,” Brooks said.
“When EMS had him he was just limp you know right there I knew the kid was gone.”

The little boy was among 28 children from the Discovering Me Academy who had gone on a field trip.  

A driver and chaperone were with them.  The boy was unaccountable for for at least three and a half hours on this hot July day.

It was 113 degrees when officials took a reading with temperature guns.

Both adults are being questioned.

The driver could be charged in the child’s death, as daycare workers are supposed to check vehicles before closing them up.
