Arkansas State Police are investigating after a three-year-old girl was found dead and her 15-month-old sister unconscious in a hot car in Booneville.

State police say the car was parked outside the 21-year-old mother's home on Monday. She called police around 2 p.m. saying that when she woke up from a nap, her children were missing.

A Booneville police officer who responded to the home found the children, both unconscious, lying in the floorboard of the back seat.

State police say three-year-old Laykn Petchenik was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Her body has been taken to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory for an autopsy.

The 15-month-old girl is stable, but in critical condition at a Little Rock hospital.

According to the National Weather Service, the temperature was around 95 degrees in the area on Monday. No arrests have been made at this time.

And three of them (maybe 4 if this 15 mo old dies) apparently climbed in the vehicles themselves.

hmm ... One wonders if this was a crack nap, heroine nap or perhaps a fentanyl induced snooze? WTF

I hope mom was well rested when she found her three-year-old dead and her 15-month-old close to it

Cars in summer are crockpots for children.

It's called securing your damn house or maybe I dunno... stay the fuck awake when you are watching children in the middle of the day?!

I bet she took them somewhere and they fell asleep (midmorning, toddlers and babies can do that around that time) or it was the night before and she left them in the car but passed out (drugs) herself.
Either or. She made a conscious decision to leave them in there. This wasn't an accident.
