170. By that point, the baby needed medical attention
I'm saying this as a parent, not a doctor, but if you can't rouse a child who is suffering from heat or dehydration it's not something you can treat at home -- just giving water isn't enough, you have to take the child to a hospital for IV fluids and other medical attention. For all we know, the reporters did try to give the baby water, but it just wasn't enough.

I hope this makes sense, it's hard to type while sobbing my eyes out.
