KC boy left inside day care van said he cried all day for his mommy

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City pre-school is apologizing after a four-year-old boy was left inside a hot daycare van for more than six hours on Friday.

The Children’s Place in Brookside says it is horrified by what happened and admits dropping the ball.

Keshawn Harris, 4, was never removed from the van Friday morning when it arrived at the Children’s Place Preschool.

His mother doesn’t understand how they could forget her son and her description of it is heartbreaking.

“He said, ‘I was crying for you, Mommy.’ He just stayed in his seat crying all day long,” said Latanya Harris.

The boy should have gone into school at about 9 a.m. It wasn’t until 2:15 in the afternoon when the driver found him in the dark-tinted van. An hour after he was discovered, the school called his mother. The school took him to Children’s Mercy Hospital to be checked out and they found he was suffering from dehydration.
