Two Young Children D!e After Their Mum Left Them In a Hot Car to Take Nap

Tiona Lasaisha Islar has been arrested by the police in the US after allegedly leaving her two young children to d!e inside a hot car.

 

It was gathered that she had gone inside her home to sleep, resulting in the de@th of her two children. 

 

The 28-year-old during interrogation, told deputies that she last saw her three-year-old daughter and her six-year-old son at 10am in her Texas home when she was going to take a nap, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. Islar claimed that she did not see them again until she woke up and began searching for them on Saturday, September 20.  The mum said she found them inside her car. 

 

Deputies responded to the home on Chancery Gate and Appleton Way in San Antonio around 3pm after receiving reports of hot car de@ths involving kids.

 

One of the deputies performed CPR and life-saving measures on both of the siblings while emergency responders were en route. Paramedics pronounced both of them de@d at the scene. 

 

Despite Islar’s statement that she last saw her children inside her house, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said there were “some inconsistencies” in her story. 

 

“Something is not adding up about this case,” he said. 

 

The two deceased children were “at some point brought into the home” before deputies arrived, Salazar added.

 

“She is being mostly cooperative with us at this point so what we’re hoping for is that, in talking to her, it may be able to shed some more light on the situation,” he said. 

 

Islar was arrested that same day and faces two charges of injury to a child causing serious bodily injury or de@th.

 

The girl has been identified as Miyani Islar and her brother, who was autistic, as Sevani Stevenson. 

 

Authorities said there appear to have been some calls made to Child Protection Services about the siblings’ welfare in the past. Neighbours or anyone with information on the case are urged to contact the sheriff’s office.
