(July 14, 2008)--An autopsy will be performed on a 2-year-old boy who was left in a car in Houston on a day when temperatures were in the mid-90s.
Investigators believe a relative forgot that Angel Ace Castillo was in the vehicle.
Police say it appears an uncle had taken several children to an apartment complex to swim when the toddler was left in the car Sunday afternoon.
Police say the uncle evidently believed other relatives had the child.
Prosecutors will decide whether to file charges.

Be careful how u condemn. Often u find urself n a like situation 2 show u the endless possibilities of human nature. Let the family handle him; it WAS the child's uncle, which means he's one of their brother's, which means they trusted him. They may see it as a mistake where you'd like 4 him 2 die. Let the family and God judge him. Sure would hate 4 one of ur children to ACCIDENTALLY pour hot water on the other, or for you to forget to give ur dog water this summer, or let ur child run thru the playground & be snatched. Would it then b ALL UR FAULT w/o any understanding? Don't forget ur own imperfections. U haven't made THIS mistake but you've made some in ur life that I'm sure someone would disapprove of & like for you to be slapped for them as well. Just pray for comfort for the family & know that the child is with God anyway--hate the way the child had to die but what better place to be with the world the way it is now!! Let God do what He does best: handle this world in HIS WAY!

you forget to flush the toilet...you forget to lock the door...you forget to turn the lights off....YOU DON'T FORGET ABOUT A LIVING TWO YEAR OLD IN A HOT VEHICLE. people are entitled to their opinions...my point was that they say that prosecutors will decide if charges are filed...the judicial system will fail and he will go scott free while the parents deal with the loss of a child (who they left in the care of someone who forgot about a two year old in a hot vehicle)

Who is to say that there were not five or six kids in the back of this car(or van, SUV, etc) that all rushed to the car at the same time when they found out they were going swimming. Maybe he didn't know that the toddler was going. Mistakes happen everyday. People here are heartless, and so quick to judge. As an imperfect parent who does not do the right thing 24/7, my heart goes out to this family...the ENTIRE family. I would hope that people could sympathize and reach out...not condemn.
