The boy's body was found Monday inside the van in the West Memphis day care's parking lot.

The van's driver 42-year-old Felicia Ann Phillips and three other employees, Pamela Lavette Robinson, 43, Kendra Washington, 40, and 43-year-old Wanda Taylor were fired on Wednesday and have been charged with manslaughter.

"The things they did to bypass protocol were negligent, reckless and against protocol," Baker told CNN. The women found the boy dead inside when they came to load children in the van to go home after 3 p.m., police said.

He said the van doors were heavy and the sliding door was childproof so there was no way the boy could have opened the door to exit.

Taylor checked the boy off a list used to account for all the children traveling on the van without ever seeing him, police said.

Washington, called a "Director designated van safety inspector," was responsible for checking if the van was empty after kids were unloaded, but police say she did not perform her job.
