Mother in North Carolina leaves 8-year-old in hot car, resulting in death, police report


In Charlotte, North Carolina, a tragic incident has led to a 36-year-old woman being charged with involuntary manslaughter and child abuse after her 8-year-old daughter died from being left in a hot car. The child was found in critical condition and later passed away from a heat-related medical emergency. The woman allegedly left her daughter in the car while she went to work and returned to find her unresponsive on the backseat floorboard.

After breaking the back window to reach her daughter, the woman drove to a nearby business for help before emergency services were called. Despite efforts to save the child, she was pronounced dead at the hospital. The woman admitted to police that she knew it was 94 degrees Fahrenheit outside and that she shouldn’t have left her child in the car.

This heartbreaking incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of leaving children unattended in vehicles, especially in hot weather. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports nearly 1,000 child hot car deaths since 1998 and recommends always locking cars when unattended and never leaving a child alone in a car.

The woman is currently being held in Mecklenburg County Jail on a $250,000 bond and has been appointed a public defender. Her next court hearing is scheduled for July 17. This tragedy highlights the importance of awareness and prevention to protect children from avoidable dangers.
