A 14-month-old little girl was left alone inside of a hot car for three hours in Alabama on Thursday. The little girls father realized that he forgot about his daughter in the back seat and when he went to pull her out of the car she was fighting for her life.

Birmingham Police Lt, Sean Edward said that the baby’s condition was “serious,” as of Thursday.

“Last night was extremely challenging for the baby girl but she’s a fighter. I spoke with both parents and they are experiencing a lot of emotion right now. The lobby is filled with family and friends so it appears they have a great support system. Right now the main priority is to get this child through this crisis right now and then as our investigators begin their investigation, speaking to both parents and really get to the bottom of what really happened.”

Edwards said.

Edwards is encouraging families to concentrate on their children a little bit more and assured that the child is in good hands at Children’s of Alabama Hospital.

“As adults, as parents, we’ve got to slow down, get focused a little bit more and try to make sure we do the best thing by taking care of our kids and being responsible. Not to slam anybody, just to leave this hospital and to see this little 1-year-old fighting for her life, it really gets you a little agitated and again we believe that the child is in great hands at Children’s hospital and the medical staff over there are doing a magnificent job right now.”

Edwards added.

Apparently, the car temperature reached 160 degrees on that day in Birmingham. Reports also noted the city was under a heat advisory though 9 p.m. on Thursday.

Praying that the baby recovers quickly. What are your thoughts? Comment below.
