ORLANDO, Fla. — A former Orlando day care worker accused of leaving a 3-year-old boy in a hot van was sentenced to 10 years probation Wednesday afternoon.
Deborah St. Charles pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of manslaughter by culpable negligence in 2019 in the case of Myles Hill.
Investigators said they found the boy dead in a van at the Little Miracles Academy in 2017.
