Ga. daycare where child died in hot van loses license

The state has revoked the license of a Clayton County daycare center where a 2-year-old died in a hot van in June.
The Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning announced Tuesday that Marlo’s Magnificent Early Learning Center is no longer allowed to operate. Commissioner Bobby Cagle says the Jonesboro-based daycare center has been shuttered since early July when the state ordered an emergency closure while it investigated the June 20 death of Jazmin Green.
A message left at the number listed for the center was not returned.
A 16-year-old charged in the case pleaded guilty in early August to involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct. The teenager, whose name was withheld because she’s a juvenile, was sentenced to two years’ probation and 40 hours of community service.
