A day care bus driver in Oviedo, Florida, is accused of leaving a young girl inside the hot vehicle for over an hour and leading her now former employer to believe that she checked the bus when she hadn’t, when instead the child had to bang on a window to catch the attention of a passerby to get to safety.

One day after the Department of Children and Families opened an investigation about the Monday incident, the Oviedo Police Department said it went to All About Kidz and independently learned that 49-year-old Barbra Ledbetter left a sleeping 6-year-old girl in the back of one of the day care’s “very hot” buses for just over an hour, that the child experienced “trouble breathing” when she awoke, and that she started banging on a window to get out.
