Bronx, NY (September 15, 2023) – On Friday morning, September 15, a 911 caller contacted police in the Bronx concerning a dangerous and deadly incident at a daycare center. Reports show that a 1-year-old boy lost his life, a two-year-old boy is in critical condition, and an eight-month-old girl and another two-year-old boy are in stable condition.
