MEEKER, OK -- A 2-year-old girl is dead after she was left inside a car for close to 7 hours Wednesday.
The girl's mother, Sarenity Morse, says a friend was supposed to drop the young girl and two other children off at the Tender Care Daycare Wednesday morning.
"She just did what she's used to, got her two boys out, wasn't used to Atrinity being with her in the morning and she forgot her," says Morse.
The family says the friend then drove to work at another daycare in Meeker, not realizing that the young girl was still in the back seat.
Atrinity's mother also works at that daycare.
Around 3:30 p.m., the two of them drove back to the Tender Care Daycare to pick up their kids.
When the daycare told them the 2-year-old was not there, they went back out to the mini-van and found Atrinity in the back seat.
The family says paramedics were unable to revive the young girl.
Meeker Police are investigating the child's death.
