Utah day care, parents settle toddler's bean bag chair death SALT LAKE CITY –  A Utah day care center where a toddler suffocated under a bean bag chair when a worker sat on it has reached a settlement with the parents and been cleared of criminal charges, but must undergo monthly inspections by state regulators who found three violations. A careful review of surveillance footage of the Sept. 8 incident confirmed the initial belief by police that the worker didn't realize Leonardo Sanchez, almost 2, was under the bean bag when she sat down, said West Jordan Police Sgt. Joe Monson. Salt Lake County prosecutors reviewed the evidence and determined no charges were warranted, he said. "It was just a very tragic accident," Monson said. State regulators, though, found three rules violations while reviewing the footage of that day that has put the center on a closer watch. The ratio of caregivers to children was inadequate with two workers looking over 17 children — including eight 2-year-olds, found a report by the Utah Department of Health's child care licensing division.

That shortfall meant insufficient supervision of children, creating the second violation. The toddler who died was out of sight of any caregiver for 20 minutes, causing the third violation. Inspectors will make unannounced monthly inspections of the center for at least one year as a result of the findings, said Health Department spokesman Tom Hudachko. The center must also submit a plan for how they'll remedy the problems. The center had two other violations dating back to 2012 according to records of past yearly inspections. In 2015, the center staff was cited for not having direct supervision of the children at all times when several children were outside on a patio unsupervised as they moved from inside to outside, records show. The other violation was for a gap too big in the fence. Terms of the monetary settlement finalized this week between the dead boy's parents and the West Jordan Child Center were not disclosed by attorneys, but both sides concur it was a tragic accident and nothing intentional.

"They are a good outfit," said attorney Jessica Andrew, representing the parents. "This wasn't a case of somebody malicious or somebody super sloppy." She said the parents hold no ill will toward the worker, and hope to communicate that sentiment to her at some point. "They're doing as well as you can imagine," Andrew said. "This is everybody's worst nightmare."wheelchairs price in india Greg Sanders, the center's attorney, said the worker who sat on the bean bag no longer works there. chaise lounge chair cushions outdoorHe said the center is committed to making sure it doesn't happen again and complying with the state's monthly inspections.bean bag chair sofa "They have been and continue to be distraught about what happened," Sanders said.rent a baby shower chair in nyc

In a tragedy that unfolded in a matter of minutes at a day-care center in West Jordan, a suburb to the southwest of Salt Lake City, Danielle Sanchez lost her son. “He was a cute bundle of joy,” Sanchez said to Salt Lake City’s Fox 13. “He brought a lot of love.” — FOX 13 News Utah (@fox13) September 10, 2016 Sanchez left Leonardo at West Jordan Child Center on Sept. 8. baby bouncy chair ukIt would mark the last moment she saw her son alive. Around noon, the toddler was playing with other children at the center — not unusual for a boy who, according to his mother, was always the life of the party. He crept beneath a bean bag chair at the day-care center to hide, according to West Jordan police who later reviewed security camera footage from that day. An employee of the center, seemingly unaware of Leonardo’s whereabouts, then sat on top of the chair. Why the employee did not notice Leonardo, or the child’ s apparent absence from the room, is unclear.

[Toddler who died a ‘painful, horrible death’ may have been placed in a freezer, officials say] “I’m just confused,” Sanchez said to NBC affiliate KSL. “I’m so confused on how you don’t know where my kid is. How do you not feel him? How do you not hear him scream?” She said that police told her that, for several minutes, the employee sat on the chair and read to other children. Sgt. Joe Monson, with the West Jordan police, called the incident a tragic accident. Police say Leonardo was under the chair for up to 15 minutes before the day-care center noticed he was missing. He suffocated beneath the chair and was discovered unconscious. Responders attempted to resuscitate the toddler at the day care, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. He was pronounced dead at Salt Lake City’s Primary Children’s Hospital later that night.

“We regret deeply the tragic death of a young toddler at our day care facility. No words adequately describe the depth of the sorrow we feel. And, of course, we do not pretend to understand how devastating this is for the family,” West Jordan Child Center said in a statement Friday through its attorney Barry Johnson. As Johnson told KSL: “We know the family well, we grieve with them, and we pray that God will provide them the comfort and peace they inevitably will need.” [‘We are devastated,’ family says of toddler killed in alligator attack at Disney resort] The day-care center had two violations in the previous five years, according to a spokesman for the Utah Department of Health’s child-care licensing program; in one instance, children were left unsupervised. As of Friday, no charges had been filed against the unnamed employee. Tom Hudachko, with the Utah health department, told The Washington Post early Tuesday that a health inspector was still collecting information for her report.
