Mother leaves kids in running van while going to "run errands".
6 year-old boy unbuckles 2 year-old girl from car seat. They play for a few minutes. He falls asleep.
2 year-old girl climbs up on door and presses the electric window control. Gets her head trapped in the window. Loses consciousness.
Passerby sees her, frees her from the window and runs to find a phone and call 911.
Mother returns, assumes girl is asleep and buckles her back into carseat. Drives home. Realized when she takes children out of the car that she's not breathing.
Child is pronounced dead upon arrival to hospital.
I think the mother should have been charged with criminal negligence.
