As Wichita police and the state mounted investigations Friday into the death of a 10-month-old girl who had been left in a hot car outside her foster home, her grandmother put the tragedy in her own words. 
 
 They tell you when your kids go into the system theyre going to be safe, nothings going to happen. They promise you, said the babys maternal grandmother, Cindy Poe. Theyre supposed to take care of your kids. And you never ever expect this to happen. 
 
 Poe said she doesnt understand how the baby she called Little Chubby, Little Butterball or Grandmas Bunny could be left for at least two hours in a hot car. 
 
 On Friday morning, Wichita police confirmed they had arrested Seth Michael Jackson, 29, on suspicion of aggravated endangerment of a child. Jackson and another man were foster parents at the home. 
 
 A few hours later, Phyllis Gilmore, secretary of the state Department for Children and Families, announced that the agency had launched its own investigation into the death. 
 
 The DCF said an inspection would be conducted of all foster homes associated with TFI, the contractor involved in placing the girl in the home on South Topeka. 
 
 TFI spokesman Brenden Long said in an e-mailed statement that the contractor is deeply saddened by the death of the child and is fully cooperating with the investigation and the Department for Children and Families. 
 
 Long said in the e-mail that TFI would be personally contacting each of its sponsored foster families and providing them with heat safety tips. 
 
 I am absolutely devastated by this childs death that should have been prevented, Gilmore said in a news release. She said the DCF is working closely with law enforcement. 
 
 TFI is a former contractor with the state, but its contract was not renewed in July 2013, she said. However, it is still allowed to sponsor state-licensed foster homes. All future foster care placements with TFI have been suspended during the investigation, according to Gilmore. 
 
 She said the states actions involving TFI dont necessarily mean there is a wider problem. 
 
 Still, she said, the last thing we want is for children who have been put into foster care because they have been harmed to be traumatized in their foster care. 
 
 Poe said the girl was born in Topeka with drugs in her system and stayed 10 days in the pediatric intensive care unit before going to the foster parents. 
 
 Poe said the baby and her two older sisters ended up in the same foster home in Wichita and said that the foster parents seemed to take good care of the children. When she saw the girls, she said, they were beautifully dressed. 
 
 The two men were trying to adopt the 10-month-old; they already had two adopted children. They were caring for six children in all, ranging in age from 10 months to 18 years. 
 
 Donald Robison, who lives next to the foster home where the girl died, said the foster children staying there always seemed to have clean clothing and plenty of groceries. 
 
 These kids were their life, he said of the two men caring for the children. Thats what they lived for. You could tell. 
 
 At the foster home, the gray Dodge Charger in which the girl died still sat on the street in front of the home on Friday. The house and lawn looked well-maintained. Potted plants and hanging plants lined the porch. Another neighbor, Sandy Jessogne, said that the two men had fixed up the house after moving in a few years ago. 
 
 At times, different foster children lived at the home, the neighbors said. 
 
 On Friday morning, at a briefing at City Hall, police Lt. Todd Ojile gave the following account about the girls death. 
 
 At about 6:41 p.m. Thursday, an emergency dispatcher received a call from a man in the 1500 block of South Topeka. The girl had been brought into the house by a man who lived at the residence, and the child was pronounced dead at 6:49 p.m. Police did not release the name of the child, saying all relatives had not been contacted. 
 
 According to Ojile, investigators learned that the child had been left strapped into a car seat in the rear of a four-door sedan with closed tinted windows that had been parked in front of the house for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Two men, ages 29 and 26, live at the house, and they are foster parents, Ojile said. 
 
 Jackson had picked up the 10-month-old from a baby sitter at about 4 p.m. and somehow forgot she remained in the car, Ojile said. Another child also had been in the vehicle but did not remain in the car. 
 
 The second man was in the backyard of the residence and thought all the children were downstairs in the home, Ojile said. 
 
 Later, something Jackson saw on television keyed on him to remember, and he and the other man rushed out and found the 10-month-old dead in the vehicle, Ojile said. 
 
 Both of the foster parents appeared extremely upset after emergency crews arrived, Ojile said. He said police dont expect any more arrests. 
 
 Investigators hope to present their findings to prosecutors early next week, who will decide whether to file charges against Jackson. 
 
 The child was in the car probably right around the hottest time of the day on Thursday, said Brad Ketcham, a National Weather Service meteorologist. At 6 p.m. the temperature was 89 degrees. 
 
 The temperature inside a closed car can rise quickly, increasing as much as 20 degrees within the first 10 minutes, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. 
 
 The girl was the 18th child to die in a hot car so far this year in the U.S., according to Kids and Cars, an advocacy group based in Kansas City, Mo. She was the 10th child to die in a hot car in Kansas since 2000.

(AP) — A 10-month-old Kansas girl died after being strapped for more than two hours inside a sweltering car, and police arrested a foster parent who said he'd forgotten about her until something on TV jogged his memory, an official said Friday.

 The 29-year-old man was booked on suspicion of aggravated endangerment but has not been charged, said Lt. Todd Ojile of the Wichita Police Department. The case will be presented early next week to prosecutors. 
 
 The girl's distraught maternal grandmother, Cindy Poe of Topeka, Kansas, went to police headquarters Friday demanding to see her granddaughter's body and to find out where her other two grandchildren had been taken. 
 
 "I want answers," Poe told The Associated Press. "I want to know why my grandbaby was in that car." 
 
 The investigation found that the girl was picked up from the baby sitter around 4 p.m. Thursday and brought home, where she was "somehow forgotten" in the back seat of the car in Wichita, where temperatures were around 90 degrees. The foster parent went inside the house with a 5-year-old child who had also been with him, but left the baby strapped in the car seat in the parked car outside the house. 
 
 The other foster parent in the house at the time, his 26-year-old partner, was in the backyard when they came in. No charges are expected against him, Ojile said. 
 
 "He believed all the children were downstairs playing," Ojile said. "He did not know the child was outside." 
 
 Both realized at the same time the baby was still in the car when "something on TV" jogged their memories, Ojile said, without elaborating. 
 
 The couple then ran outside the house and found the girl inside the car, still strapped in her car seat. The car's tinted windows were all up. 
 
 Emergency dispatchers got a call at 6:41 p.m. Thursday, and the girl was pronounced dead at the scene a few minutes later. 
 
 "Both were extremely upset," Ojile said of the foster parents. 
 
 The foster couple had been trying to adopt the 10-month-old girl they had cared for nearly all her life. They also had three other foster children, ages 3, 5 and 18; and had two adopted children, ages 5 and 7. The two younger foster children were visiting other relatives at the time. The couple's two young adopted children were taken into police protective custody. 
 
 On Friday, The Kansas Department for Children and Families suspended all future child placements with its former foster care contractor, TFI Family Services, pending the outcome of an investigation. The agency's contract with the state was not renewed in 2013, but TFI had still been allowed to sponsor some licensed foster homes. The agency also ordered its foster care contractors to inspect all foster homes associated with TFI. 
 
 TFI spokesman Branden Long said the company is cooperating and does not believe there are any issues with its foster care services. It planned to issue a written response later Friday. 
 
 "I want to assure Kansans that we are doing everything we can to uphold our agency's mission to protect children," Department for Children and Families Secretary Phyllis Gilmore said in a statement. "Children in need of care deserve safe, loving homes." 
 
 According to the nonprofit child safety group KidsAndCars.org, 18 children have died in hot cars this year in the United States, including a Georgia boy whose father is charged with murder on suspicion of intentionally leaving the 22-month-old in a hot car last month as he went to work. 
 
 The Kansas City, Missouri-based group said 10 children have died in hot cars in Kansas since 2000.
– A baby in Kansas is dead after being left in the back seat of a car for two hours, reports AP. A male foster parent, 29, has been arrested, but not charged, on suspicion of aggravated endangerment in the death of the 10-month-old girl. Authorities say Seth Jackson picked up the child from the baby-sitter, returned home, and went inside the house with another 5-year-old child. Two hours later, he said something on TV jogged his memory. By the time he and his partner—who faces no charges—raced out to the vehicle on the 90-degree day, the girl was dead. The two men had cared for the baby nearly all her life and planned to adopt her, reports the Wichita Eagle. She had been placed in the foster system after being born in Topeka with drugs in her system. The couple also were caring for the girl's two older sisters, along with four other children. “These kids were their life,” says a neighbor. “That’s what they lived for. You could tell.” The girl's maternal grandmother is angry and demanding to know where her other two grandkids are. "I want answers," Cindy Poe tells AP. "I want to know why my grandbaby was in that car."
