A tiny baby girl died after being left in the back of a hot car just two months after her adoptive parents took her home as a newborn.
Diana Sofia De Los Santos was found unresponsive in the SUV outside her parents' home in Santee, San Diego, about 12.20am on June 13.
She had been left in the car for several hours in 63F weather when a family member found her and called 911. The baby girl was rushed to hospital but did not survive.
San Diego County Sheriff's Office detectives are investigating how Diana was forgotten in the car and who left her there. No charges have been filed.
Studies show temperature inside a car can rise to 104F in just half an hour on a 70F day, and reach 115F in an hour. The body's organs begin to shut down at 107F.
Diana's parents Romer and Jayson De Los Santos took her home on April 11 after flying to Arizona where they met the baby girl in hospital for the first time.
Adorable photos showed them cradling the infant and introducing her to their two-year-old son, who was also adopted, and Diana at home in her crib.
'I haven’t slept in days,' Romer wrote next to one of them.
The couple posted a link to an adoption site profile on social media in November, seeking a second child.
'Our hearts and home are open to providing more love to another amazing child,' they wrote on the profile.
'We want our children to grow up full of memories of playing on the beach, building sandcastles, making friends, biking to the park, going on Hawaiian cruises and learning how to raise foster kittens.'

“They are HARD, HARD WORK, and quite likely will lead to a lifetime of challenges.”
Yes they are.
Ours is 20 years old now. We adopted him when he was 3.
MURDER!~!
His eyes aren’t smiling. His mouth is formed into a smile shape. Sociopath?
If she was found in the car at 12:20 a.m., she would have had to be in it a lot longer than that to die of heat.
I can’t recall the last time I read of anyone being prosecuted for boiling their baby to death in their car.
That’s the problem.
A few high profile prosecutions with convictions, and we’d far fewer boiled babies.
should not let queers adopt.
What could go wrong with giving delusional people the responsibility to care for a baby?
Texas just passed a law that bystanders can break a car window with civil immunity if we see a child locked in a car running or not alone. That’s how much of an issue it is in Texas. Enough to get the Gov to sign a new law for it.
The first thing they teach in carseat DOT class is you never close your driver door or the child’s door at the same time. So it’s impossible accidentally lock them inside. You only close their door while your drivers door is open then you get inside and close your drivers door from the inside. This way it is not possible to lock the kid in with you outside. Now leaving a kid inside closed car is no accident that takes willful action you had to get out and close the door behind you both are purposeful actions.
“I’ve read that there are cars today equipped with alarms to remind you to check the back seat when you leave your car. That’s a damn good idea.”
Three of my vehicles do this if they detect weigh in the back seat and/or if you opened and closed the back doors after you unlocked the vehicle to enter it. Two even turn on the overhead lights even if the switch is set to off after the chimes stop.
Oh it is not!
But wouldn’t two MEN want to adopt a MALE child?
Sorry!
I thought the light coming thru the window made it LOOK blue.
Thanks for a better picture!
Who’s the blurred kid?
I don’t know what’s so special about being gay. Humanity has had homosexuals throughout history.
But stupid leads to being gay!
You do see the irony in "something that they value", correct? What could be valued more than a child?
Oh, about as much that could go wrong by giving over a child to be shown a drag queen as an authority figure...
What kind of a people are we;
that we allow men dressed in womens clothes
to pervert the minds of little children?
Dashes - or commas - would help:
Texas just passed a law that bystanders can break a car window with civil immunity if we see a child locked in a car - running or not - alone.
