Tragic Hot Car Incident Claims Lives of Infant and Dog in Virginia

A 10-month-old child and a dog have died after being left in a hot car for approximately six hours in York County, Virginia. The child was found deceased and in a plastic bag at a hospital, leading to the arrest of Kristen D. Graham, who has been charged with felony child neglect and animal cruelty. The child and dog were left in the car during extreme heat, with temperatures reaching at least 100 degrees. Graham had been watching the child for two days and initially claimed to have stayed in the vehicle, but the investigation suggests otherwise. The charges against Graham may be upgraded to homicide depending on the ongoing investigation.
