Tragedy struck the family of Ra’Miyah Worthington when the one-year-old was left in a hot daycare center van on a hot summer day. She was picked up in the van along with two of her siblings, registered to the owner of Kidz of the Future Child Development Center II. Her two siblings were taken out of the van, but Ra’Miyah was not.
Reynon Worthington, Ra’Miyah’s father, expressed his disbelief, asking the TV station “how can you forget a kid that you yourself put into the vehicle, but you took the other two off?” The van was parked at the daycare center around 50th and Leavenworth in Omaha, Nebraska, on Monday after 3pm. It was not immediately clear how long Ra’Miyah was in the hot van.
Ra’Miyah was rushed to Nebraska Medicine while CPR was administered. The temperature that day had reached into the upper 90s and the heat index was 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Ra’Miyah’s body temperature at the hospital was 109 degrees Fahrenheit, her parents told the station. The van driver, Ryan Williams, 62, was arrested and charged with child negligence resulting in death.
Ra’Miyah’s parents had been taking their children to the same daycare center for five years. Worthington expressed his frustration, saying “the daycare has an app. They’ll tell you stuff with their kids throughout the day. She was never checked in. Only one of the three we sent was checked in, so put two and two together. You had to have my baby left in this car since this morning.”
Ra’Miyah is remembered as a happy baby who loved to eat and dance and was always smiling. Her mother, Sina Johnson, fondly remembers her precious daughter, saying “she loved, loved, loved her family. She loved her daddy. She was daddy’s little girl.” A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with her funeral arrangements and expenses, due to the negligence of her daycare provider. Ra’Miyah is survived by five siblings.
