SPOKANE -- A baby found locked in a hot car in North Spokane Thursday night is recovering, but uninjured.
Employee spotted baby 'all wet, red, not crying' inside SUV An employee at the Grocery Outlet spotted the inside the sweltering SUV around 6:00 p.m. She advised the store to make an announcement over the intercom, advising customers there was a baby locked in a car.
The employee told KREM 2 News, "nobody came up for like, 10 minutes."
Employees confronted the woman when she finally spoke to them; they say she told them, "Oh my God, I forgot I had a baby."
The mother claims she had only been shopping for 15 minutes but her shopping cart was full of items and the woman had an empty baby carrier with her in the store.
Firefighters broke out the car window because the baby was sweating profusely. "She was all wet, she was red," said the employee who spotted the young girl. "She was really hot, she wasn't crying, she looked kind of weak."
The mother who left the baby in the car faces possible wreckless engangerment charges.

People waited until the fire department showed up to open the car when the baby was all wet, red, and not crying?

“wreckless” endangerment?
Because she didn’t get into a wreck?

The first thing the employee should have done is break a window and call 911, not make an announcement over the PA system.

Exactly what I was thinking. Have we become that neutered by laws and litigation? Why the hell didn’t one of the men in the area punch his fist through the window, or at least kick it out?
