LAS VEGAS (FOX5) - Abuse and neglect detectives are investigating the death of a toddler at a resort south of the Strip Saturday afternoon.

Metropolitan police responded to a call of an injured child at the Grandview Resort on 9940 South Las Vegas Boulevard at 4:50 p.m. Officers located a 3-year-old boy suffering from heat-related injuries, according to Lt. Carlos Hank.

Emergency medical personnel transported the child to St. Rose Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

Lt. Roger Price of the Special Victims Unit said the parents of the boy realized he had been left in the car in the parking lot of the resort for over an hour after arriving at the hotel, but it was too late.

"Any amount of time in that environment can be deadly to a child," Price said.

Apparently, the parents were visiting Las Vegas as part of a large family reunion that brought together family members from across the country and lost track of the child.

Price added that about a dozen children were part of the gathering.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to have children. I don't know how to tell and evidently nobody else does either.

Very sad.

50% of the child deaths in hot cars are NOT accidents. They are (intentional) murder.

“50% of the child deaths in hot cars are NOT accidents. They are (intentional) murder.”

Could you please tell me where you got that figure.

“Price added that about a dozen children were part of the gathering.”. Concluding that it would have been easy to think the poor little tyke was among the gaggle of kids running around and easily overlooked? So what was it in Vegas the past couple of days? 120 or so?

I'm raising the BS flag on this claim.

My experince is that parents at a family gathering are constantly counting kids, especially when a three year old
are involved. An hour seems like a long time to be missing a toddler.

I have thought that parents who have to work rather than parent,, just cannot bond to their children same as stay at home moms and dad home after work families.?????
