FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A Melbourne woman whose 10-month-old daughter died after being left in a hot car had left the baby asleep in the vehicle several times before, a court has heard.
Michelle Nguyen, 21, is charged with manslaughter over the death of her daughter Thy Tran in a car parked in the driveway of her Glenroy house on the afternoon of November 5, 2011.
Nguyen had taken Thy and her two-year-old daughter for a drive at 11.30am to try to get them to fall asleep, police informant Detective Senior Constable Tony Hupfeld told the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday.
After returning home 30 minutes later, Nguyen removed the two-year-old from the car, but left Thy asleep in the vehicle, with its doors and windows closed, parked in direct sunlight in the driveway.
Nguyen returned 15 minutes later to check on her baby, and, finding her still asleep, went back inside and sat in the lounge room, intending to check again in another 15 minutes.
Instead, she fell asleep, waking in a panic at 2pm with the realisation her daughter was still in the car.
She rushed outside, but was too late, Det Sen Const Hupfeld said.
Nguyen called emergency services but Thy was pronounced dead at the scene.
Paramedics recorded the baby’s body temperature at 41.5 degrees.
Bureau of Meteorology records showed the temperature in Glenroy rose from 26 to 28 degrees between noon and 3pm on November 5. Heat tests inside the car in the driveway on a later day with similar weather conditions found the temperature rose from 26.8 degrees to 47.9 degrees within 90 minutes.
Det Sen Const Hupfeld said Nguyen had breached her duty of care to her baby with grossly negligent conduct, which directly led to Thy’s death.
He said Nguyen had also left Thy asleep in the car in the driveway for an hour and a half the night before her death.
A friend warned Nguyen at 11pm not to forget that Thy was in the car but it wasn’t until 12.30am, when a neighbour heard the child crying in the car and knocked on Nguyen’s front door, that she retrieved her baby.
Nguyen had previously fallen out with her mother, who had complained that she had frequently found 10-month-old Thy home alone, and at least twice had removed the sleeping child from the car after Nguyen had left her there, the court heard.
Nguyen’s lawyer Marlene Dixon urged Magistrate Andrew Capell to grant her client bail, saying this was her first time in custody, she posed no risk to the community and was not a flight risk.
Nguyen was bailed ahead of a committal mention on August 13, on the conditions that she participate in a Court Integrated Support Program and refrain from contacting several family members.
