MIAMI -- Pamela Rauseo is stuck in gridlock on the Dolphin Expressway, a crying baby in the backseat.
She’s on the phone with her husband and also listening to the radio about the crisis in Venezuela. The baby’s wails are deafening.
And then, suddenly, silence from the backseat. Rauseo pulls the car partially onto the shoulder and jumps into the backseat. Her 5-month old nephew Sebastian is still, his face blue.
She tries calling 911, but her fingers won’t move. So Rauseo rushes into the bumper-to-bumper traffic, cradling her nephew, shouting for help.
