HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Four individuals are facing charges after police discovered a 2-year-old girl left unattended in a sweltering vehicle while they were shopping at a clothing store in southwest Houston. The child’s parents are among those implicated.
According to court records, the child was found on Wednesday inside a car parked outside a Rainbow shop on Fondren Road, adjacent to a DD’s Discount Store. The vehicle had two partially rolled-down windows.
The temperature inside the car reportedly reached 107 degrees. Paramedics treated the distressed toddler at the scene for dehydration. It remains unclear who discovered the child.
