Infant dies after grandparents forget him in the car after church in Georgia - September, 2015

An 11-month-old boy died in Georgia over the weekend when his grandparents forgot him in the car for two hours, police said.

The boy's grandparents were babysitting Saturday while the mother, who works the night shift, slept at home, he said.

The grandparents took the baby to church along with another one of their adult daughters and another grandchild. When they returned home, they realized they had forgotten him in the car. That was around 3 p.m., when the sweltering northwest Georgia heat hit 90 degrees.

 In those conditions, the temperature in a closed vehicle can reach as high as 131 to 172 degrees in as little as 15 minutes.

 "There was a lack of communication within the three adults. They assumed that one of the others had brought in the child and laid him down. They didn't communicate who would get the child."
