A mother from Texas, Angela Moreno, was apprehended on Wednesday after reportedly leaving her children alone in the car five months ago. While she was inside a restaurant for about 10 minutes to pick up a Door Dash order, her 3-year-old son nearly strangled himself while playing with the car’s moonroof. The incident occurred on Oct.10, 2024, and the child suffered serious injuries, according to officials, reports the New York Post.
The young child, left unsupervised in a car with his 1-year-old brother, climbed up and stuck his head out of the moonroof. He accidentally closed the window on his neck by pressing a button on the ceiling, according to Belton officials. Luckily, nearby restaurant employees provided life-saving help to the unconscious child, while his 24-year-old mother watched. Officials transported him to McLane Children’s Hospital, where he received treatment and survived.
Following discussions with the Bell County District Attorney’s Office, Moreno was apprehended and charged with causing injury to a child.
