Two women were arrested at a Kansas City shopping center after leaving a baby in a hot car while they shopped.

Jamila Scott and Jaylyn Lux have been charged with child endangerment after a woman found an infant in a car over 86 degrees. The women were shopping in a CitiTrends while the baby was left in the car, with one window slightly cracked.

The woman told the manager of the CitiTrends, Kimberly Wilson, who then told shoppers that there was a baby left in a car and she was going to call the police. After Wilson made that announcement, Scott and Lux continued to shop.

When paramedics arrived on the scene, Scott asked one of them if they had seen a 9-month-old and said that she was the child’s aunt. The baby was taken to Children’s Mercy Hospital and treated for heat exhaustion and dehydration.

Lux and Scott were then immediately arrested, and during questioning by the police, Scott admitted to leaving the baby in the car.

The women are being held on a $20,000 bond.

If men do that, they are heartless beasts who deserve to be strung up. If women do that, it’s just that they forgot and it’s “soooooo hardddddd to be a mother...”

Kansas city has dipshits of all races, but yes these are daughters of the chosen one!

Bake the baby, toss it into the trash, keep the ebt payments without having to buy diapers.

Probably Kansas City area

I see what you did there.

Yep, we wonder how the male was able to take care of the needed task, to cause a pregnancy.

I agree with you. I used to be somewhat lax with regard to a parent that spends just a few minutes picking up goods in a convenience store. However, pure science convinced me that it gets hot fast and a tiny baby’s physiology cannot stand said heat.

[who knows what evil?]

Are these two spayed? If not; they should be.

[CodeJockey]

I don’t even classify them as human beings. A genetic anomaly. If they continue to reproduce our country is toast.

Oh wait...

My first thought was "alcohol," but I doubt there's enough fermentable material in the world.

Weather Channel said today that there have been several deaths of kids in hot cars and even pets so far this year. They highlighted the story of some 3 year old twins playing in the yard and climbing into a hot Truck then passing out and dying. The mother was inside making dinner and also took a nap.

“It may be KS, but the names”

Its KC, Missouri in this case.

Per City Data, 55% white, 30% Black, the rest Hispanic or other.

I’ve never heard of this store...went to their website. All the models are minorities.

Yikes!!

...after a woman found an infant in a car over 86 degrees. Were those degrees in longitude, or latitude?

How stupid are people???? We'll find out in November.

Could not understand one of their names.. There is a very interesting chapter in the book"Freakonomics"that discuses this unfortunate trend that is endemic in our country. One story is about a man who had two sons. The first one he named Winner, and the second one, Loser. You'd think you could predict the results of this name-arrangement,but you'd be wrong. But the end of the story, and the rest of the book, makes it well worth reading. Some of the chapter's have strange, but curious titles. to paraphrase: "What do Sumo Wrestlers and teachers have in common?" Read the book. I recommend it highly.

Here in Charlevoix, in northern Michigan, when I go grocery shopping in the winter, I leave my ‘87 Jeep Wrangler Laredo running in the parking lot. Most other people leave their cars running also. By the way, I’ve never seen a child left unattended in a car in all of the over 35+ years I’ve lived here. There is virtually no crime here to speak of. If a cell phone and packages are stolen from an unlocked vehicle, the news will make the paper .I’ve never had anything stolen or tampered with since I moved here in September of 1976.

You are blessed. I was born and raised in California when its population was 10,000,000. California is now but a Provence of Mexico except for formalities; i.e. formal declaration by raising the Mexican flag over public buildings.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will make sure I include it in my reading.
