LEXINGTON, Ky. — A Kentucky day care center with a troubled history was forced to shut down Friday, a day after a toddler was left strapped in his car seat alone in a van for more than nine hours overnight. Just before midnight Wednesday, the child’s mother called police to her apartment when she arrived home from work to say her son was not dropped off from his day care. She checked it while on a break and discovered several missed calls from her daughter, who worried that the boy had not yet been dropped off by the day care, Angel said. The day care center had by then closed hours earlier, at 6 p.m. Police officers reached the owner of the day care who went to the center with her husband and found the boy still strapped into his car seat in the van parked in the lot outside, Angel said. The Cabinet for Health and Family Services ordered the center to surrender its license and close immediately.
