4 Year old dies on moms wedding day
A four-year-old boy died Saturday after being left in a parked car while his mother visited a nail salon on what was to be her wedding day.
Investigators could not determine whether the 29-year-old mother knew the child was in the Ford Expedition while temperatures outside neared 90 degrees, Palm Beach County Sheriff's spokesman Pete Palenzuela said. The boy may have been in the car more than two hours.
His mother, hours away from what should have been the happiest day of her life, became hysterical and had to be sedated when she learned her boy was dead.
Authorities withheld the name of the child and his mother because of the severe emotional trauma suffered by the family, Palenzuela said.
The woman had dropped off other children earlier in the morning and might not have known the boy was still in the SUV when she arrived at the shopping center at 2650 S. Military Tr. about 9 a.m., Palenzuela said.
After the woman and her sister left the U.S. Nails salon, one of them called 911 at about 11:45 a.m., to report the boy was not breathing.
The boy was taken to Palms West Hospital in Loxahatchee, where he was pronounced dead.
Instead of going to the scheduled wedding, family members in suits and dresses gathered in the Palms West waiting room.
When they learned the boy had died, some erupted with emotion and tried to get into the room where the boy was, said a woman who was there waiting for another patient.
Sheriff's deputies were called to the hospital in response to a report of a disturbance and order was quickly restored, Palenzuela said.
After deputies left, family members stayed at the hospital. None would comment.
U.S. Nails owner Linda Le said members of the wedding party, accompanied by small children, visited the salon Friday night before the bride and her sister returned Saturday morning.

Re: 4 Year old dies on moms wedding day
OMG Horrible!!
But how could she have not known the whereabouts of her own son? Wouldnt she knowif she dropped him off when she dropped off the other children earlier?
Seems weird to me.

So sad. Maybe the four year old snuck back into the truck. I can't place blame until the whole story is unveiled.

Horrible. How can you not notice a 4 year old. I know when I drive with my 3 year old nephew, he talks to me A LOT..I can't imagine.
Poor child

ITA however, 4 year old, in the back of the truck, goes without talking a peep? making no noise the entire ride? I don't know............sounds alittle fishy to me...........would like to hear the full story. beyond that.......... for that poor little boy.

Re: 4 Year old dies on moms wedding day
How awful
It sounds like she probably had a huge SUV and maybe the boy was sleeping all the way in the back. Tragic on all accounts and happens more often than it should

Re: 4 Year old dies on moms wedding day
How terrible...
I wouldn't judge just yet, what if she dropped off the kids and the 4 years old was sleeping, so she took the other two one in each hand and then forgot. wedding days can be hectic with a million of things to think about.
I agree it's awful and careless, I check that my kids are either in the seat (when they are supposed to be) or out (when they are not) all the time. But sometimes we all have lapses in judgment.
