A mother who police said left her three children in a hot car in San Antonio, Texas, for nearly an hour while shopping was arrested after a good Samaritan helped rescue them from the vehicle.
First responders discovered a 1-month-old, 2-year-old, and 4-year-old in the car.
“The mother of the children (suspect) was at the scene and stated she went inside a store and did not realize how long she was gone,” the department said.
“Based on information gathered, the children were in the car for approximately 50 minutes.”.
Angela Garza–Amador was arrested June 28 and charged with three counts of abandoning/endangering a child, according to the report.
She then tried to open the car door and found it unlocked and helped the children while waiting for first responders to arrive.
There have been at least seven hot car children’s deaths in 2024, according to Kids and Car Safety, an organization researching and documenting car death data. »
