The annual baby barbeque is continuing in full force with the newest beautiful baby girl Jazmin Green. This will be Kennesaw Countys 2nd contribution:
A 2-year-old girl died Monday afternoon after being left in a van outside a Clayton County daycare center for at least two hours, police said.
"I just don't understand how they could do that to my baby,” April McAlister, Jasmine’s mother, told Channel 2 Action News. “They just kept saying she fell asleep between the seats and they didn't realize she was gone.”
The toddler was left in the van after a field trip to Chuck E. Cheese, said Lt. Tina Daniel of the Clayton County police. The child went on the field trip, but was left alone in the van while staff and other children returned inside the daycare center.
The child was transported to Southern Regional Medical Center, but did not survive, Daniel said.
Temperatures reached the middle 90s Monday.
The daycare center is in the 1600 block of Thrasher Court near Jonesboro, Officer John Schneller with Clayton County police said.
That address is the location of Marlo's Magnificent Early Learning Center, according to Bright from the Start, the state agency which monitors childcare centers. The website lists Marlo Fallings as the center's administrator.
The same center was cited during a March visit by the state for not documenting a field trip form indicating which children were transported, according to the report. State law requires that a check be done after the completion of a trip.
A woman who answered the phone at the center around 5 p.m. hung up on a reporter who inquired about the incident.
Officers will conduct a thorough investigation to determine if any charges will be filed, Daniel said.
Monday's death was the second in the metro area in less than a month involving a child left inside a vehicle. On May 25, a 5-month-old baby died after being left in a car outside a Kennesaw daycare center.

A family member apparently forgot the child was asleep in a car seat when she went to work at the Ivy Hall Day School on Tuscan Heights Boulevard Wednesday afternoon, Kennesaw police spokesman Scott Luther said.
"Several hours later, the baby was found unresponsive inside the car and after attempts to revive her, she was pronounced deceased at the incident location," Luther said.
The high temperature in Kennesaw Wednesday afternoon was 90 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
