Child left in car getting worse

(ANSA) - Florence, July 27 - The condition of an 18-month-old girl who was hospitalized yesterday with heat stroke has worsened, sources at the Meyer Children's Hospital in Florence said Wednesday.
    The infant, who is in an induced coma, had been left in a car for three to four hours in the coastal town of Vada in Livorno province.
    Doctors said she has suffered complications and may be at risk of nerve damage.
    Her mother told police she had a "memory lapse" while taking her two daughters to nursery school and summer camp. She dropped the six-year-old off at camp and went to work instead of taking the younger child to nursery school first. It was only at lunchtime that she remembered her youngest was still in the car, and alerted emergency services.
