ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The sentencing phase of an Orlando daycare driver who accepted a plea deal last year in the death of a 3-year-old boy left alone in a hot van for 12 hours was postponed Tuesday.

Deborah St. Charles was expected to face a judge Tuesday, after entering a no contest plea in October to manslaughter by culpable negligence in the death of Myles Hill.

St. Charles was arrested in 2017 after police said she left Myles in a van outside of the Little Miracles Academy.

St. Charles told News 6 it was an accident.

“I would never do nothing like this on purpose,” St. Charles told News 6 in May. “I have two boys of my own and I would never do this intentionally to a child."
