Here's an article about that.
Assistant Principal Left Toddler In Car Previously

BATAVIA, Ohio -- A police report indicates that Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby left her 2-year-old daughter alone in a car on previous occasions prior to the girl's death.
A police report showed the Symmes Township woman had left Cecilia Slaby in a car on at least three occasions, including an incident when she was left unattended for 10 minutes two days prior to the girl's death.
Tara Phillips, a teacher at Compass School in Mason, told police that Nesslroad-Slaby asked her 5-year-old daughter to hurry up during an Aug. 21 visit to the school because "the baby was in the car."
Phillips told police that the older girl asked to stay and watch part of a play she was participating in, and both she and her mother stayed inside the building for 10 more minutes.
"Mom didn't go to check on the baby," investigators said in their report.
Police said school officials had cautioned the Slaby family about leaving their children alone inside vehicles after parents alerted them to the situation.
Her attorney has said Nesselroad-Slaby became distracted from her normal routine of dropping Cecilia at a babysitter's house because she stopped to buy doughnuts for a faculty meeting, then forgot about the girl when she unloaded the doughnuts from the back of the vehicle.
Surveillance cameras show that Nesselroad-Slaby returned to the SUV five times during the day, and once moved the SUV to another location in the parking lot.
The babysitter told investigators that she did not call to ask about the girl because her father, Gary Slaby, sometimes kept the child at home without notifying her.
The police report indicates that investigators pushed for a child endangering charge, but Clermont County Prosecutor Don While said Tuesday that he would not prosecute Nesselroad-Slaby in the girl's death.
White told News 5 on Wednesday that the investigation had revealed unsettling information, but he said they were not criminal.
"The facts would never support reckless conduct under the law," White said. "We researched every case we could find, and cases are reversed every day by courts of appeals."
White said his office could have filed charges and secured a conviction by appealing to juror emotions, which he said would have certainly been overturned on appeal.
Sounds like this witch has used the car for a babysitter numerous times. (ggrrrrrrr)
That this woman is not being prosecuted is CRIMINAL. It is criminal neglect if a mother or father leaves a child at one point and returns later and the child is dead. Here we have video proof that she not only returned five times to the car but that she actually MOVED THE CAR on one of those occasions. What did she get when she went back to the car? Did she go out to smoke? Did she get into the car and actually sit the other four times? This was 100 degree heat FOR GOD'S SAKE! I have no sympathy for this woman except to say that so many mothers have been "pardoned" that this lack of prosecution will guarantee more deaths just as it guaranteed this one.
First of all, I have sympathy for the woman in the fact that she did something pretty damn dumb and she has lost a child - but, but, but something is not adding up
What does this mean that she went back ***FIVE*** times during the day?? Not to be gross, but after an hour or two in the sun, that child was half way to gone, if not gone and the body would have started to give off an odor of some sort.
If I were the coroner, I'd verify time of death and I wouldn't be shocked if the time of death did not coincide with the time spent in the car.
