Picayune bus driver charged with child endangerment

A bus driver in Picayune was arrested for allegedly leaving a three-year-old in a hot van for about two hours and without any AC.

According to the Picayune Item newspaper, 40-year-old Treshay Quinn is charged with child deprivation.

The child’s mother, Stephanie Breaux, told police she personally dropped her two children off at school Monday morning. She says she was told only one of them made it to their daily after school program at First Step Learning Lab when she went to pick them up for the evening.

First Step’s owner called Quinn, who found the three-year-old still in the van without air conditioning.

The child was taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion and hypothermia and has since been released.
