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.

    Completely avoidable. This should NEVER happen. That woman SHOULD be in prison.

    Edit: Wow. Wasn’t expecting all the downvotes but I’m sticking to my guns on this one. If your child neglect results in the death of the child you should absolutely go to prison.

      Most of these things are accidents due to exhaustion from the systemic grind. You don’t know nearly enough to talk like that.

      You conclusion does not follow from the premises. Please develop your abilities to reason using syllogisms.

      Shouldn’t happen in modern cars, keep a running thermal sensor, weight and accelerometer sensor in seat, send alert if weight remains and any accelormeter activity when temp above danger threshold. I do not think this is required but should be.
