A Texas mother has been arrested after police alleged her 22-month-old child died when left the infant in a hot car in Corpus Christi.

A Texas mother was taken into custody Tuesday after police alleged her 22-month-old child died when she left the infant in a car outside a Corpus Christi school on one of the hottest days of the year.

The mother, 33-year-old Hilda Ann Adame, was jailed on charges of causing serious bodily injury to a child and child endangerment/abandonment with imminent bodily injury, according to a Corpus Christi Police Department incident report.

It was not clear how long the infant had been in the car before the baby was found unresponsive, according to the incident report.

    The “situation” in the article is about one family. Not society. So the comments about infrastructure and car reliance are out of band.

        Absurd.

        It makes no sense to bring a global issue to a micro scale one.

        Else, I wish we lived in a post scarcity utopia where benevolent robot nannies watched the children while adults just live in bliss and never need to go anywhere.

        How is that relevant?

            Har har. Meta discussion was requested, and I provided. Edit you didn’t understand the downvotes, and I clarified. You continue to not like it, or get it, and that’s that.

            In a thread such as this meta analysis of the relevance or value of a top level comment is completely appropriate.

            It’s quite common on Lemmy to jump to globals, and it’s really just a shortcut to shallow platitudes.

              This all presumes your arrogant take is correct. But please, continue your lonely war against platitudes by using platitudes. I just won’t see it.
