Such a sad story. A toddler girl burned to death in her family kitchen while left at home alone with her siblings — all under the age of five. The children’s mother was believed to be at work during the time the accident took place, but no adults were there to supervise the four children, and they ended up playing a dangerous game in the kitchen.
Via MailOnline:
A 19-month-old baby girl is dead, after being burned to death in a tragic game while her mother left her home alone with her siblings, ages three to five.
J’zyra Thompson has been identified as the baby girl who died early Tuesday morning at an apartment complex in northeast Houston.
Police say the baby girl was left home alone by their mother Monday night, while the woman went to work.
While their mother was away the three children started playing with the oven, and around midnight the game took a turn and someone called 911.
Emergency responders who arrived at the scene found abby J’zyra dead, near the oven. It’s unclear whether she had been in the oven or on top of the stove.
Apparently, the mother left the three children in the care of her boyfriend while she went to work, but at the point when the accident happened the four were alone.
Both the mother, who is pregnant and has not been identified by name, and her boyfriend were taken to the police station early Tuesday morning for questioning. The mother’s three surviving children were placed in protective custody.
