A daycare worker in Forney, Texas, faces child endangerment charges after allegedly leaving a five-year-old girl locked inside a bus during a 102-degree heatwave, leading to dehydration and a UTI. The child, Kayla, was found trapped, sweating and crying for help, while the worker reportedly forgot to check every seat. The daycare has since tightened safety protocols, and Smith-Ward, who has hired a lawyer, was not interviewed by investigators.
