(February 26, 2008)--Following the choking death of a two-year-old Monday, authorities are investigating a Hutto daycare.

Hutto’s police chief says that when emergency crews arrived at A Mother's Choice Day Care, Semaya Simon was conscious and breathing shallowly.

The girl was taken to a hospital, where she died.

The chief said that while it's unknown what she choked on, authorities believe it was food.

An autopsy has been ordered.

A spokesman for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services tells the Austin American-Statesman that the department's childcare licensing department is investigating the death.

2 the mother of 4 & me ~ I'm a family member of this precious little girl & DO NOT appreciate ur comments. You can't even begin 2 imagine the hurt & pain that our family has gone thru, especially her parents. I can't believe that ya'll have the nerve & adacity 2 pass judgement on someone else. But you know what, even though ur comments r rude, immature, hateful &, let's not forget, HURTFUL, we have GOD on our side & He is in control. Do me a favor, want u? Find a Bible & read Luke 6:27-36. Basically what it says is 4 us 2 love our enemies & do good 2 those who hate u & curse u, & boy can that b hard 2 do. Especially when it comes 2 people like u, people who r just hateful & hurtful, 2 people they don't even know. But like I said earlier, God is in control & he will deal with ya'll in his own way, so look out. But I do pray 2 God that ya'll never have 2 experience the hurt & pain her parents has been through. 2 others ~ Thanks 4 ur comments & prayers 4 her parents & family. God Bless

To "ME from Temple" ... if you don't already have children, DON'T make any! Your "stupid" gene might pass to some poor child. To "Mother of 4" ... If you do a have a night job, you can't be taking "great" care of your children during the day since you don't even know what city you live in. My guess is that the gov. is taking care of you. "In other words, us taxpayers are paying for your food stamp card". Stupid people post stupid things even when it's a tragic event that's happened. HOW SAD!
