Baby left in car dies; mother arrested
Police say child was in vehicle for at least 5 hours
A Tucson woman was ordered jailed on a $1 million bond Monday after police said
her infant daughter died when she was forgotten in a car for several hours.
Dalina Gutierrez, 21, of the 4000 block of East 25th Street, was arrested
Sunday night on a felony charge of child abuse. She remained at the Pima County
jail Monday night.
Gutierrez picked up two of her three children from a relative's home about 5
a.m. Sunday. She took the 3-year-old inside but left 6-month-old Alejandra in
the car and then fell asleep for at least five hours, said Sgt. Judy Altieri, a
Tucson police spokeswoman.
When Gutierrez awoke about 10:30 a.m., she realized Alejandra was still in the
car. She tried unsuccessfully to call 911 from her cell phone before calling
for help from a pay phone nearby.
The infant had no pulse when paramedics arrived, and they were unable to revive
her, said Deputy Chief Randy Ogden of the Tucson Fire Department.
Alejandra was pronounced dead at Tucson Medical Center.
Gutierrez was arrested Sunday night.
An autopsy Monday morning failed to immediately determine a cause of death,
Altieri said.
The city's temperature was 92 degrees by 10 a.m. Sunday, climbing to 96 degrees
an hour later, according to the National Weather Service in Tucson.
At those temperatures it would take about 20 minutes for the heat in a car to
rise to 125 degrees. Within 40 minutes, the temperature inside the car can get
as hot as 150 degrees, said Dr. Andreas Theodorou, a pediatric intensive care
physician at two Tucson hospitals.
Theodorou said even in 60-70 degree weather cars can heat to a dangerous level.
"But Tucson weather in the summer? In 20 minutes, you'll hit critical
temperatures."
He said immediate medical attention needs to be provided any time a child is
left unattended in a car for a period of time. "It's not something you're going
to be able to manage alone at home," he said.
Neighbors of Gutierrez, who lives near East 22nd Street and South Columbus
Boulevard, were shocked to hear of the baby's death.
Darek Anderson has five children, including two he and his wife adopted when
his sister-in-law was killed in a car crash.
"This is just horrible. I couldn't imagine leaving your kid in the car,"
Anderson said. "We count to five like 30 times a day. We're always counting our
kids."
Ismael Lopez said he could not understand how a mother could forget her baby.
"How can you forget your kid?" he asked.
Eileen Rea, 20, who grew up with Gutierrez, said the death was accidental.
"She was always there for her kids," said Rea, who went to Gutierrez's
apartment after hearing news reports about Alejandra's death.
"I don't know what they're going to do to her," she said. "But I want to be
there, be strong for her."
In 2002, 30 children in the U.S. died after being left alone in cars.
In 2001, there were 34 such deaths, said Janette Fennell, president of Kids and
Cars, a nonprofit child safety group in San Francisco.
In Arizona, at least eight children have died since 1994 from being left alone
in hot cars. Alejandra's death is the first in Arizona and the 10th in the
nation this year.

I love this. "She was always there" - yeah, when she wasn't sleeping. Or
'forgetting'.

So it's not our imagination - the numbers are going up.

The breeders know that already! It's part of their plans.

Notice how we never get quotes like this when non-ethnic types sizzle
their sprogs? Not to mention an actual *arrest*! I guess only
caucasians have the capacity to Suffer Enough.

Hmmm. 3 kids by the time she's 21. Gets home at 5am Sunday morning. I
wonder what she does for a living (or is this the social life of a
21-year-old mother of three.)

And the quote was from another Hispanic.

Not to mention $1 million bail! A white doctor would probably be receiving offers
of free counseling for the trauma.

That's why I was glad to see a Suffered Enough quote in this article.

5am on a Sunday morning? Hmmm. I would say she works the lucrative
Saturday night shift at a tit-bar, and then went out to party after her
shift was over.

How refreshing. 1 million dollar bond. I guess the days of "they
suffered enough" are over.
About effing time.
I wonder how many 1/2 gallons of ice cream she has left
in her car since the summer started.

Because we cannot imagine being so busy that we forget a living
creature for 8 hours? This has been discussed ad nauseum, but how many
of us have forgotten something in our car that HAD to go in or be
ruined? I'm trying to remember ever: I'm human, I'm sure I must have
forgotten something important at some point, but never a living plant
or animal or ice cream or something I valued that I didn't want to be
on the street all day or overnight.*
I don't get it. I. Don't. Get. It. Even given the most sincere
"harried parent" absent-mindedness excuse, leaving one's offspring in
a car to die strikes me as the ultimate darwinian gong. If one does
that, one obviously is not ready to be a parent and should be
sterilized immediately. I don't think prison is a particularly useful
answer (except for the extremely suspicious cases of
malice-aforethought) but I do think if you kill one, you shouldn't
ever have the option of creating more.

So there are more. Interesting.

Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the
concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make
threatening him with it much more effective.

Fetching a beer? Is that what they call it these days? I remember when it had
something to do with cigars.

I should, however, be beaten with my own stony liver for failing to work the
