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.

    It keeps happening because people are human and make mistakes.

      Best solution I heard to this is to take something you’ll need… wallet, keys, phone, and stick it in the car seat with the baby.

      No forgetting.

        There should be a shelf on the hood of the car where you can put the baby carrier so you never take your eyes off the baby

        Isn’t the baby already the thing you’re not supposed to forget? I don’t have children but if i have my dog in my car, my one and only thought is that: “what if i have to park my car somewhere and leave my dog inside?”
