The daycare director charged with child neglect after an infant was found dead in a van appeared in court for the first time on Thursday.
Darryl Ewing, 56, was charged with second-degree child neglect after a 4-month-old girl died after being left in a van at a Westside daycare.
At Ewing's first appearance, he opted for a public defender and the Judge ordered that he have no contact with minors or the victim's family. He was being held on a $75,000 bond.
Ewing has since bonded out of jail.
Ewing's next court date will be June 13.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said the infant was in the third row of the daycare van from 8:25 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday. Daycare employees found the victim inside the van still strapped in her child seat and unresponsive.
