Parents arrested for leaving child in stroller at Disney ride

Two parents face child abuse charges after riding the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride at Walt Disney World with their toddler left in a stroller outside.

Juan and Dannette Rodriguez were arrested for leaving their 3-year-old daughter alone in her stroller for 45 minutes. The parents told investigators they accidentally left the girl in the stroller on Saturday afternoon. They were with a group of other adults and children, and each parent thought the other had the girl.

According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the girl was found in the sun, turning red, covered in sweat and nearly lifeless. Paramedics revived the girl after taking her indoors and giving her water. Authorities said the child was left in the heat and sun for nearly an hour. Their other children have been turned over to relatives while the Department of Children and Families investigates. » Article here
