Harris County parents are suing a Cy-Fair-area daycare, claiming it is responsible for the death of their 9-month-old son.

Heber Fuentes and Corena Hernandez, as next of kin to their minor child, filed a lawsuit on July 8 in the Harris County District Court against Kids R People 2 Inc., citing negligence, negligent supervision and negligent hiring.

Fuentes and Hernandez say that on June 3 they left their 9-month-old son, Andrew, in the care of Kids R People 2, a Cy-Fair-area daycare. Later that day, Kids R People 2 employees notified Fuentes and Hernandez of an incident concerning Andrew, who was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to the brief.
