A 1-year-old girl is dead after her mother left her in a car for nearly 10 hours in Houston Thursday, authorities said.
Harris County sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a child left in a car at 6:30 p.m., Sgt. Ben Beall said during a short news conference late Thursday. Investigators have determined that the mother of the toddler drove the child and her siblings, ages 3 and 5, to a day care in the morning. They said she left the 1-year-old in the vehicle and returned home.
During the day, the mother took another vehicle to go exercise, Beall said. When she went to pick up her three kids from day care, only two were there. The day care had no record of the 1-year-old being dropped off, according to police. The 1-year-old was discovered in the vehicle around 6 p.m. She had been there since 8:30 a.m., Beall said. She was found on the floor of the car and pronounced dead at the scene.
