From the New York Post: A 9-year-old girl died when her mom left her in her car to work an eight-hour shift in Texas as temperatures soared to nearly 100 degrees.
The 36-year-old mom alerted police to the horrifying death after returning to the Toyota Camry where she had left the girl in the backseat as she worked a shift in suburban Houston on Tuesday, ABC 13 reported.
She left the girl with water and the windows cracked — but not parked in the shade, despite temperatures soaring to 97 degrees in Galena Park on Tuesday.
“I don’t know if anyone checked on the child throughout the day,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told a press conference of the mom’s shift from 6 a.m. until she found the girl around 2 p.m.
