No one ever took the girl to the doctor or called for medical help. She was described as "wet" when she was removed from the van.  Russell says the Pre-K told her that they had taken the child to get something to eat at Burger King, and they had put her in front of the air conditioner to cool off.  Russell says when she took her daughter to the ER, she was told that the girl had mild dehydration.  The toddler seemed sluggish, she says, and complained of a headache later.  She says that her daughter wakes up screaming every night since the van incident.
