Mom charged with abandoning child in locked hot car

Another baby left in car as mom shopped

Oshawa: A mother has been charged after an 8-month-old baby boy was left alone in a vehicle at the Oshawa Centre.

On Sunday July 14 at 4:35 pm, police were called to the parking lot near the Starbucks entrance to find a baby unattended in a vehicle.

Officers broke a window to get the child out and he was taken local hospital for observation. The baby is doing well. It’s believed he was alone in the vehicle for about 45 minutes.

A 32-year-old woman from Bowmanville has been charged with: Abandon a Child Under 10 Years. She was released on an Appearance Notice.

Her name is being withheld to protect the child’s identity.

It’s just days after a mom was charged for leaving her 7-month old baby in the car while she and her other children went to the park.

People’s Comments:

• Paul Frankum Must be something wrong with her why would you leave a kid in the car for on a hot day to me I think they should just leave them people leave that mother in the car roll up all the windows let her see what it feels like give her a taste of the medicine

  Brittany Ann I hate how stupid this mother is, she doesn’t deserve to be mom. So many people want children and physically cannot do it… Then we have this woman who is so careless she leaves her baby in the car ? Like come on. It should be jail time.

  Lj Race I don’t like any of this. But judging someone on line is not the best route to go. I coukd not have a child of my own. But i have adopted and have made many mistakes along the way. Hope she gets the help she needs

  Amberlee Bartholomew Again there is no way any mother can forget a baby in the car didnt she put him in the car like this is pissing me off they should get jail time

  Jodie Mueller I have NEVER left my child in the car. I get gas and go in to pay, his infant seat comes with me.
  I go to the front door of a house to pick something up, his infant seat comes with me.
  I go into a store for a second to grab milk, his infant seat comes…See More

  Brooke Hodgins I know the person who found the baby. I feel badly for the baby. The Mother claims to have PPD which I know is real, but she did leave the baby on purpose and unfortunately I think people need to be punished regardless of mental circumstances including things like PPD.
