At least I think its a bunny. She said she found it laying on the sidewalk near the park. It's 100 degrees outside should I try to help it or take it back to where she found it and hope the mom comes back?
[update]So, everything that I've read has said these little suckers are very likely to die in captivity. I called my vet and am going to take the little guy and give it over to him. I think it will be a little less traumatic for my daughter to see the little guy "go to the vet" than die in front of her.
[update 2]
I've named him Optimisc PrimeMinister
I've decided to take Optimisc PrimeMinister to a wildlife rehabilitation in the morning as suggested by Ralph Wiggum.
At about 2100 OP woke up and was very active and we were able to feed it some Meyenberg Regular Goat milk which it ate about 3/4 tsp. My wife got a video of it I will work on loading that to youtube. Im gonna miss this little bastard

google how to care for baby rabitt, if it can't eat on it's own, just bottle feed it according to what instructions you find.

do not give it water
go to the nearest petstore and feed it the kitten milk formulas that u can buy
also even though u took him out of the heat, later on today he'll start to get cold, so make sure u are feeding him, and give him some stuff to bury himself in
edit: i work at petco
also, his eyes arent open, there is no way a mother rabbit would have left it. The mother is dead. You can let it back into the wild, and let him die. He cant get his own food, nor see. Or u can raise him.Misc'in since '07

Name is Miscimus.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
