(August 14, 2008)-- A 3-year-old Texas boy died after police said he was left in a hot car all day in Webster, southeast of Houston.

Webster police say the child's grandmother, Donna Chesser, 44, called 911 Wednesday when she left work and realized her grandson was still in the car.

Police say she told them she forgot to drop the boy off at day care on her way to work.

Police believe the child was in the car for 10 hours.

No charges were filed and police said the case would be presented to a grand jury for review.

The National Weather Service said the high Wednesday at Houston Hobby Airport was 89 degrees with a heat index of 96 degrees.

You must think that there is no such thing as an accident... For that I am sorry... I am sorry that you are a judgemental person and I am sorry for your future. I just hope that NO ONE has to endure what my family has. Truthfully, that is the only way you could ever understand... I'd honestly much rather have EVERYONE in the world HATE me and HATE my family if it meant that NO ONE would ever have to know what this feels like. I already cannot go anywhere without people saying something. I am constantly recognized because of the press... I'm TIRED of judgement. YOU DONT KNOW US, YOU DONT KNOW OUR STORY, AND YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT KNOW GOD THE WAY THAT WE DO. AND FOR THAT, I AM ALSO SORRY. I HOPE THAT EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU LIVE A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE. I HOPE THAT NONE OF YOU EVER FEEL THIS WAY.

My Nephew is Christian... My Mother is Donna and my Sister is the Mother of Christian... My Mother has fought hard to make sure that her children have had everything. She has given EVERYTHING including her home to people that need it more than she does. MY mother has helped others with financial needs even when she was having a hard time paying HER bills. MY MOTHER would give YOU, a perfect stranger, the shirt off her back if you needed it. She is non-judgemental, she is caring, and she is the grand-mother of MY child and she WILL ALWAYS be there. The Grand Jury saw this case and saw the love in this family. They saw the pain in my mothers eyes. They saw the love in her heart. They SAW EVERYTHING that you judgemental people refuse to see... However I have sympathy for you... Anyone who is so QUICK to judge, who is so quick to throw stones must be very lonely and unhappy with themselves. You must not have the courage to face REAL LIFE. You probably think that there is no such thing

we worked together to try and make a better life... so tell me she had a stress free day! stress free days dont come often for those of us who live in the real world... in all the comments I have read... yours is the one that made steam come from my ears.... I hope you never learn this hurt, I hope you never learn the error of things you say... in other words I hope you never have to experience this kind of loss... For more reference on what the family has to say you can revisit the boards and find the comments left by my ex husband and Christian's father... he calls himself Baltain... Have a wonderfully blessed life and I hope you enjoy every moment of your life.
