AN INDIANA COUPLE IS FACING SERIOUS CHARGES AFTER LOCKING THEIR TODDLER IN A CLOSET WITH A SPACE HEATER, RESULTING IN HER DEATH. (PHOTO).


 An Indiana couple is facing serious charges after locking their toddler in a closet with a space heater, resulting in her death.


21-year-old Sintia Perez and 23-year-old Jace Hirschy are facing charges of felony neglect resulting in death and neglect of a dependent after a heartbreaking incident on November 29th.


Berne Police responded to a report of an unresponsive child. Once on scene, they were directed to a crib in a closet where they found a 2-year-old girl deceased. First responders have reported the closet had an overwhelming heat disparity with the rest of the home. They said the closet was in disarray, filled with trash and dirty diapers.


The child was found on a "very soiled mattress" with a body temperature of 109.4 degrees. That is incredibly sad.  When questioning the mother, she informed officers that they had "placed the child in the closet around 7 p.m. the night before with a space heater set on the highest setting and didn't check on her until 3 p.m. the next day". The little girl's official cause of death has been ruled hyperthermia. 


The couple's other children were remanded into the care of DCS due to unhealthy living conditions.


Both Perez and Hirschy were booked into Adams County Jail.


Our thoughts are with everyone who cared for this sweet child and her siblings.


If you ever suspect a child is being mistreated, please do not hesitate to call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-422-4453.
