Parents Warn of Car Seat Danger After Child’s Death
Вставка

- A Louisiana couple is issuing a dire warning after their 17-month-old daughter died in car seat. Mia Smith was found dead in her day care car seat in June 2015. “This is like lightening striking our soul. This isn't something that we had any idea could possibly happen to us,” mom Lisa Smith told Inside Edition. During nap time the baby was left strapped in a car seat on the floor. Her day care provider stepped out to a doctor's appointment. When she returned Mia wasn't breathing. #InsideEdition
This isn’t the fault of the car seat. It’s the fault of the negligent daycare workers. That’s why the lady got the manslaughter charge.
She should have been sent to prison for life killing a child even tho it wasn’t on purpose what do u think is gonna happen if u leave a child in a car seat by herself for probably over a hour

Even being in a vehicle they have to be at a angle, there should be changes in the near future for carseats/booster seats.. Always room for improvement💯
@@etmw2659 That's scary, I didn't know that
@@winniethepooh8353
@2:00 The base helps keep the carseat stay at the correct angel.. They're sitting at completely different angles in a vehicle compared to being placed on the ground.. Very tragic situation💔
The girl was left alone in a room, strapped to her carseat while the lady went to the doctors? Am I hearing that right?
bluefishdanii Unfortunately Yes
bluefishdanii my thoughts exactly! And they dont even question that anywhere in the video WTF??
Katey B it sounded like her husband was home though
Her husband was there
Oh, that explains it all! Husbands dont check up on kids like that.
NEVER leave a child alone EVEN if it’s a doctors APPOINTMENT
MYBIASISJIN • period. Especially for a doctors appointment
Medical appointments take soo long, so it’s not good to leave the child
She left the baby with her husband. Didn't you watch the clip?
I made my grandkids go to bathroom with me. One girl and 2 boys..lol. Ethan. The oldest boy around 4 was going back and forth looking under the doors.
@@srso4660 It really wasn't clear to me if she was alone or not. If she left the baby in the care of her husband then why wasn't he also arrested? That's why it seems as if the baby was totally alone.
couldn’t imagine losing a child because of someone *ELSES* negligence
I agree but a ton of parents do this
Ya I know so many people who do that I even do that sometimes and I know its not safe 😞
Damn if i had a daughter and died like that they would get tortured to death idgf about jail anymore
Poor child on 17 months old
Wait parents bring child to daycare with car seat so how is it the person in the daycares fault more like the parents fault
"Stepped out for a doctors appointment."
Dude, you take the child with you. Doctor visit's take forever.
Constant Anxiety you can’t offer to take care of someone’s kid and just leave them alone
Or reschedule. Or maybe close daycare hours for the time being if the docs appt was that serious. 💔🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Right?!
XxConstant AnxietyxX wtf. Stepped out where? From where!?
XxConstant AnxietyxX ikr
This makes me sick because of how preventable this was... damn.
Me too
Ikr WAIT HER LIFE >:0

IDK this can happen as a new parent!!!
When the mother started to cry, that’s when I fully hated the daycare worker.
Where’s rodrick
Reddit Egg lol that’s what I was thinking lol where’s manny?
But her husband was suppose to be watching the baby while she was at the doctor's appointment! I don't understand why she wasn't taken out of care seat!
same
It’s just crazy around here that’s all
Things like this make it so hard for me to trust other people with my child.
Never trust anyone else or you will get this.
I don't understand why people do it in the first place. Babysitting is okay but why do people give their kids to complete strangers to raise for 8 hours a day?
Ugh ... those poor poor parents. Good of them to warn others so hopefully this won't happen to another child.
Poor mum :'(
BratBusters Parenting um common sense she left the child by herself
BratBusters Parenting poor kid..
It could be happening right now due to about 160 people dying per minute but I estimate that about 12 people die each second and this is off topic
no lie on my comment i pressed read more and it changed to ur comment LOL
It's not just the car seat, it's mostly negligence.
Nosgoth of Kain no it’s not
Taylor waters yes, it is. she left the child unattended while she left to go to a doctor’s appointment, which can take hours. a child should NEVER be left alone for that long.
@VoluntaryApnea yeah that's what my family does but we actually check on the baby
Nosgoth of Kain exactly, the child was left unattended
@@amelia-nv6li supervision cannot stop positional asphyxiation. It is silent when it happens and you can’t see it until it’s too late. The only way to prevent it is to ensure the baby doesn’t sleep on an incline and sleeps on a flat safe sleep surface.
“Never leave children unattended in car seats”
No- just never leave children unattended
THIS exactly, as soon as I heard she "stepped out for a doctor's appointment" I was already flared up. You NEVER take your eyes off a baby for more than a minute, if ever.
Period!!!! Ugh 😩
That is not possible. Use your common sense.
"cookchildren's" is a hospital tf
What type of hospital is called like that? I wonder what the founder was thinking
@@yaz6109 Ikr
Yes 💀 when I broke my leg I thought it was a cooking class so I was excited
Probably someone’s last name
IM CRYING
My child’s never going to daycare this is so sad
Same

@fro k there has been multiple cases of daycares killing babies, were good.
Agreed
Same
"Mia would've been 5 this week," oh god does that hurt my heart :(
I never heard of this type of asphyxia before. This made me remember when my kids were babies, and if I got home with them and they were asleep, sometimes I would let them stay in their car seats to nap a little longer. I had no idea that it was dangerous. It makes me feel horrible that I could have made such tragic mistake. I will definitely spread the word to new parents who may not be aware. So tragic.
TJ smithe:
It can also happen if you use a sling carrier to hold your baby.
Thier was one case where the mother thought her son was just sleeping, but when she went to take him out of the sling to put himin his car seat she realized he was not breathing. He had passed away
already, because the way his head was laying on his chest in the sling.
So they warned parents about not using sling carriers.
RIP to the babies. 🙂❤️
Same i would do the same to all three of mine
@@gailobright8070 oh my God, it’s the first time I’ve ever heard about this type of horrific accidents, thanks for the information
@@calins1967
Your welcome. Yes it's very sad that something like that can happen.
My now 20 year old used to have a stuffy nose and I would let her sleep in the car seat when she was a baby in the carrier type car seat. Things change for the good, but wow I feel dumb. Those poor parents.
2:33 Never leave children unattended *PERIOD*
Yeah, anything could happen even during the times you least expect.
I am a Stay-at-home Mom because me and my Husband do not trust ANYONE with our child. I'm so sorry this happened to that beautiful baby ☹️
Likewise. I stay home with my kids during the day. And when my husband gets home in the evening...I go to work. We planned BEFORE we had our kids that we would NOT use daycares babysitters or nannies.

Same. My kids, my responsibility.
you can work opposite shifts.
Why is she babysitting and have a doctor's appointment
The man speaking with the police dispatcher sounds way too calm considering the fact that a sweet baby under their care and supervision was unconscious and very likely dead.
That’s how you need to talk with dispatchers to get help as soon and efficiently as possible. If he’s panicked they might not be able to hear what he’s saying and will have a harder time knowing exactly where to send the ambulance out
People under shock do weird things. He probably was to shocked to scream or cry
You can get first aid training very easily these days and based on the fact that his wife was doing CPR, we can safely assume that they have basic training in first aid. Part of this is staying calm when theres an emergency and not freaking out. It's what he was trained to do, not because this is some sort of conspiracy that they did this on purpose
I thought I would be frantic when I called 911 after my dad stopped breathing, but I wasn't. I was incredibly calm and doing my best to follow the dispatcher's instructions. Not everyone turns to panic and it doesn't mean they don't care.
Dont assume he wasn’t panicked as well
She would have been 7 years old and a big sister
She’s a big a sister from Heaven
“Mia would’ve turned 5 this week” :(
Sadd
Chelsea Tenorio ikr :(
The video was made a year ago tho-
:(( Shes probably having a birthday party in heaven💗
just a random person who plays roblox yeah but they said she died in 2015.
Rip beautiful baby girl.
"Stepped out for a doctors appointment." im sorry WHAT-
Seriously! I had to go back over that part, to make sure I'd understood it! I STILL can't comprehend how anybody could be that irresponsible!
It’s called a “Car Seat” for a reason it’s not for a kid to sleep in, And don’t leave the child unsupervised in a car seat if she would have slept somewhere else we wouldn’t be in this situation...
I agree well if your with a little kid driving if they taking a nap it’s ok or
on an airplane that is ok too but never unattended
I am literally crying. As a child care provider who works in a preschool with infants and older children, this breaks my heart. I thought all childcare professionals knew not to let children sleep or unattended in bouncers, car seats, or excersaucers. Apparently I was wrong. Use common sense. And please for the love of god, use education and experience with kids if you’re a teacher.
And you have to check each sleeping child every 5 minutes. (Again this is just requirements in a daycare/preschool setting)
I know right! It was literally part of our training and protocol in all of the centers that I've worked for.
This just happened in my family. Young parents let him sleep in his car seat. They came to check on him and he hadn’t been breathing. Most of my family said they would’ve did the same thing and had no clue you couldn’t do that. I thought we all knew so we never talked about it. I had my own baby and was told by my nurse so I never let her nap in car seat. Nor did I ever let anyone watch her for me. We need to raise awareness. People legit do not know!
All parents let their toddlers sleep in the car seat. No one stops to wake up the child!
@@thatstrangebuggirl4150
Ridiculous. I don’t believe that is the law or that anyone does that
I think the daycare provider should be charged for the baby's death it's a daycare center she should have took the baby out of the car seat I understand she was asleep but you're getting paid to watch her. I hope you get what's coming for you. Poor baby girl. SMH 🤔
Ray Martinez she was charged and pled guilty; did you finish the video?
@@rodneypryor9895 hold on who the hell hit your buzzer. SMH 🤔
Ray Martinez she got man slaughter
Did you not watch the video and only red the title? She got guilty, lol.
She was charged with *Involuntary Manslaughter* , Involuntary meaning she didn't mean to do it, and Manslaughter meaning accidental murder or murder with assistance from an outside object.
Poor parents and the adorable child,you can see the pain in the little girl's mother Rest in peace little girl
The biggest cause of preventable infant deaths isn’t toys, car seats, drowning, or things falling on them but negligence. Negligence causes those things. Never leave an infant alone and never just assume anything is safe or will be alright.
Why would you ever leave her unattended!!!!
Imagine Murdering someone’s baby....I couldn’t live with myself...that’s horrible
I couldn't hold myself together. I would start seeing stuff and maybe worse. The babysitter didn't look upset! Like wtf
This is disgusting
When my son was 2 almost 3 I started looking at daycare, I toured 7 or 8 and I settled on one I really like. Lots of staff, large clean facilities, and 3 different playgrounds for the different aged children, it was a little more expensive but I chose it because of the facilities I toured it seemed best. Everything was great for about a month. Then I go to pick him up one day and he had a golf ball sized bruise on his head. No one could tell me what happened or how he got it, one of the workers even had the nerve to ask me if I was sure he didn't have it when I dropped him off...Like really? I definitely would've noticed a golf ball sized bruise on his forehead.
He never went back, and I filed a complaint with the state. I took off work for a week to coordinate schedules with trusted family members who thankfully rearranged their schedules after hearing what happened to help me out. I lost trust in daycares forever, I had toured 7 to 8 facilities did research on each one and met with the staff several times before he even went there and I still got screwed never again.
It's so hard to have to leave the most precious gift you've ever gotten with a stranger in the first place and even if you're selective and research your choices you can still get screwed. Thankfully my son recovered fine no concussion or anything. I took him to the doctor immediately after the fact due to the bruise being so big, I just couldn't imagine loosing him. The agony this couple is going to go threw forever is just cruel, I hope that women got some serious time. She took their baby away, you don't just come back from that
This is so sad. This is exactly why I am so scared to put my baby in day care.
I can’t imagine
I’m crying right now.
I have a little brother who is actually in my arms right now sleeping.
Even me a 12 year old can take care of him better
Honestly tho, like use ur brain ppl
Can you even imagine losing your brother?(I also have a brother thats 2 years young than me)That's my fear.
@@m4df4m65 like dam I would go find the person person who did this and go absolutely madman if they did this to my little brother
@@Vicsgym Ikr.
Me too, I have a little sister and I know that leaving a sleeping child in a carseat for a long time is very dangerous

Don’t leave a child in a car seat unless you’re in a car! That is the message you need to send!
Attended or not it doesn’t matter if you think the baby is sleeping you likely wouldn’t notice this.
I just learned not to trust any other human to take care of my child, also how to properly use a baby car seat.
This is so sad. Im sorry for both of you :/
THATS NOT THE FACE U PUT ITS ;-; AND 😣😢😭😭😭
@@user-ym1nf6el9m owo
Not trying to offend you but that face you put at the end made it look like you didn't care ;^;
I’m from the same town as these parents and served them breakfast at Windmill cafe less than a week after Mia died. Myself and the other servers were in tears. They loved bringing Mia to the cafe and it was there first time in there without her, trying to remember the wonderful memories they shared. We all paid for their meal and wrote them a card. I’ll never forget that day.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️
Just heart wrenching!
The daycare worker is absolutely to blame for leVing the child unattended for a considerable amount of time but that's not what's so shocking about this. I know plenty of people who leave babies in carseats to sleep, just to avoid waking them. I had no idea that this was even possible, so glad to have stumbled upon this.
I'm crying rn for this lady because its hard... I know how it feels... I lost my baby sister when she was 1 year olds! Bless her heart!
Why did she do that to mia? You would feel uncomfortable sleeping in a seat like that , why make a child suffer? Use common sense. Rip poor mia , I wish her family best. Mia will be missed. 😭😞🙏I don't think the day care is professional and has certified employees when employee did such an ignorant action.I watch over my niece and nephew very closely and have radar on them because I wanna protect them from harm. When someone trust you with their kid(s), it is your job to protect them like you would do your own child. She is very selfish and disgusting.
Ik people who leave kids in car seats when there sleeping.. and if it’s so uncomfortable then they wouldn’t have fallen asleep in the first place and besides she may have not known what was going to happen and she might not have wanted to wake Mia up
@Rabble Repository true manufacture but never child should be unattended.
@@somethingthatendswithvlogs7107 leaving unattended child is no excuse ; especially if that's your job.
@@aidaaston6565 Exactly.
@Lisa Neuman you were supervised but she wasn't . care taker should be with a child even if she is sleeping. She is there to take care of him or her.
It’s called a car seat not a sleeping seat
I worked at a daycare for 2 years and there was a story VERY similar to this that they taught us in training and was the main reason why weren't allowed to let children sleep in rockers. After they fall asleep you move them immediately to their cribs or wake them up! That daycare worker is 100% at fault, im not sure if she had training or updated certifications but this is literally a cautionery tale that got passed down thru years of training in my city!
I can’t even begin to imagine the pain of losing a child…
Because of seeing this story months ago our 7 month old son has never been left in a carseat even when we get home and he’s still sleeping. So thank you for spreading the word and making a difference! So sorry for your loss.
This makes me feel so angry and sad. It's so obvious to NEVER leave a child unattended whilst in a daycare, even in your own Home.
So disgusted by this. Her children need to run from this lady, if she got any.
If a baby is in a crib you could just leave your home.
@@JaKingScomez um no u can't wtf!
I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen people leave their babies asleep in car seats.
Never leave children unattended when running a daycare!

@MISHA ASMR/MUKBANG Your name says it all.
MISHA ASMR/MUKBANG why do you have to talk about this? This video isn’t about Lisa Guerrero, leave this guy alone... this is about the little girl, not you trying to confront this guy.
I’m a little torn by this. How many parents transfer a sleeping baby from the car to a quiet room?? Countless, that’s how many! I was just watching a nation wide tv show where they literally did that exact thing. It’s a tragedy that turned into a lesson for thousands of parents. Heartbreaking.
Yes me to I am a little torn by this to I think the actual harm was not being supervised. I have seen countless of babies sleeping in car seats with supervision of course. Like grocery stores, at the house, restraunts. I mean anything can become dangerous to a baby if you leave them alone. Yes it's a danger to be warned of so parents don't think it's safe to just leave a baby sleeping in a car seat for long periods with or without supervision but I also think that it's not gonna hurt anything for max a hour or two with supervision like a long car ride.
I agree, I did this with both my babies. Left them in the car seat sleeping. But it may have been the leaving her unattended that was the real issue. Because she couldn’t hear her wake up or squirm or at the very least just check on her every few mins.
RT CJ you could always unbuckle it..
Amber Lapointe exactly nothing to be torn about and their not left alone
Chavale Pierson it’s not necessarily the buckle, it’s the head leaning forward from being in a upright position in a car seat. Like I stated before, many parents have not wanted to wake a sleeping baby from a car ride and removed the car seat and put the baby in a quiet room. I’m sure said parents have also periodically checked on sleeping baby, but evidently it can happen quite quickly. Hence being torn.
I was always worried about this sort of thing. My son fell asleep in the car and I could hear him snoring, looked back and saw he wasn't breathing properly as his head was slumped forward. For the rest of the car ride I held his head up (dh was driving). Adjusted the seat when I got home. It was scary.
I have a 2 month old son and I would suffer forever if anything happened to him. I feel sympathy for this mom and any other mom who has lost their baby RIP baby girl❤️🤧
After 2 miscarriages and pregnant now, I can feel you mom. So sorry for your loss and thank you for warning us
So sad..
This is why I wouldn’t leave my child at a daycare or on anyone else’s care! My husband is working a day shift and I’m working a night shift for the sake of our daughter so she will be in the care of her parents (me and dad). Watching this kinds of videos of childcare, nannies, babysitters, etc. made me change shifts after I had my child to make sure nothing like this will happen to my baby girl. May mia Rest In Peace, gone to soon 😢
Rest In Peace baby girl. My heart is broken…
THEY JUST HAD TO SAY “Mia would have turned 5 this week” That broke my heart,This while video did.
So sad😢
my heart goes out to these parents, and poor baby girl 💔 Rest in Peace Mia
This is so devastating😭 my heart breaks for the parents of Mia.
She was adorable.
I know she is in heaven with Jesus.

What happened to Lisa anyways
This is heartbreaking!!!! I’m so sorry for your loss !!! I won’t let this happen to my babies.
This is why I just can’t trust people with my children. Not saying them trusting someone was wrong. They should have been able to trust the daycare workers to do their job correctly. Taking care of a child is one of the most precious charges we have in life. Prayers for this family.
That mother is truly strong. I’m so sorry they’ve been through this.
I feel greatlfull to be able to take care of my kids from home bless their hearts

This is just horrible!!
Can't imagine the heartache and pain this family had to go through. 💔
I’m so sorry for this couple. It breaks my heart. Thank you for posting this video so others can learn from it.
This almost happened to me being a first time mum, I never knew of the dangers of carseats back then. My daughter had fallen asleep in the car and we just decided to let her carry on sleeping for a bit when we got home. After half an hour of her still not waking, which was unusual for her, I decided to get her out and wake her, it took a while to wake her up even when she was out of the car seat and I remember being concerned but she did eventually wake and so I didn't think anything of it but also didn't let her sleep in her car seat again after that, it was only a few years later when I heard how bad it was that I realised if I'd left her any longer she could have died! I'm so glad I woke her when I did!
This is why I’m a stay at home mom, Me and my husband would rather live off of his Income than lose one of our kids
It’s great if you can do it, but it’s not always possible.
Same, it's a struggle not going to lie. The bills just keep coming but nothing is worth losing our babies.
Omg. That poor mother and father and that precious Angel. Praying for them all.
Omg!! Im so sorry for the family's loss
Rest In Peace, sweet little girl. May you forever be happy in heaven. All the support to the parents.
Pops out for a doctors appointment?? Why was she getting paid for minding any child! My goodness !!!
Thank you for this ..
I am so sorry for your lost
I'd sue the crud outta that lady. You never leave children unattended PERIOD.
My heart goes out to that family❤
This angers me SO much. Who doesn't know not to do this??? Terrible. My heart breaks for the parents and that sweet little girl.
I used to let my infant daughter sleep in her carseat when she had a really bad phlegmy cough/. Chest congestion. It was the only place she was able to sleep since she was positioned in a somewhat upward position. I never knew this type of asphyxiation existed till just now. Will definitely be mindful w my next babies. Rip little angle :(
Thats not the point. The daycare worker left her there unsupervised. Daycare workers get trained, they know this stuff. She got charged with manslaughter for a reason.
@@AnnieNugget it's absolutely true that the daycare worker neglected that baby and is a large part of why she died. However that doesn't change the fact that she asphyxiated because she was in that car seat. Being in that car seat with her head in that position prevented her from being able to breathe, as stated in the video. If the worker would've actually been taking care of the girl she would've noticed it and been able to prevent it. Just because one thing is at fault doesn't mean there's not another cause in conjunction.
@@VampireBabysitter obviously i know that she stopped breathing because of her position in the car seat. I was trying to emphasize why the woman got charged with such extremity. She could've 100% prevented such an unfortunate death.
@@AnnieNugget nobody disagrees that she deserved to be charged. But that has literally nothing to do with the original comment. They said "I didn't know this type of asphyxiation existed till just now. Will definitely be mindful w my next babies." The entire comment was just them talking about their new knowledge of this asphyxiation. The daycare worker was never brought up. The daycare worker was not the point of the comment and there's absolutely no reason you needed to bring her up, especially in a condescending way with "that's not the point."
I put my son in carseat too for the same reason, but the one with the base and put Pillow under the neck and back to prevent wrong neck position
The noise the baby made at 0:36 made me cry its so cute and the fact she is dead. It crushes me..
This is heartbreaking beyond words.
Why would you leave the baby at the car 🤦♀️.
She wasn't at the car. She was in the carseat. There's a difference. My brother and sister-in-law left my nephew in his carseat if he fell asleep. They would bring him in place him on the floor next to them and let him finish his nap. There's absolutely nothing wrong with allowing your child to nap in a carseat in the car. The issue comes up when you take them out of the car. In the car the locking mechanism is tilted at a proper angle for your baby to be able to sleep safely. On the floor of your house it isn't tilted properly. Unfortunately a lot of parents still dont know this little fact.
That’s so sad
That’s so heartbreaking 💔
Rest In Peace baby ❤️
Thanks for sharing the story 🙏
