A 6-month-old boy died after being left for hours in a hot car in Louisiana, authorities said.

The baby was found dead in the backseat by his parent at about 5:46 p.m. Tuesday, according to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.

When the parent went to pick up the baby from day care after work, they realized they forgot to drop him off at day care that morning, the sheriff’s office said.

    When my oldest was about 1, I buckled him in, but didn’t realize the carseat wasn’t buckled in.

    About a mile down the road, I turned and we went tumbling across the car in his car seat. It was completely upside down by the end.

    The only thing that kept me calm was that he was cackling with laughter. He thought it was the funniest thing. Never made thay mistake again!
