The mother told police when she parked her white SUV in the downtown Joliet lot, she had no idea her 7-month-old baby was still in the back seat. She locked the car and went about her business for a couple hours until she got a voicemail from the baby's father.
"She had been with the boyfriend and their two other kids earlier, before this. She had dropped them off at another residence and thought that the boyfriend had taken the baby with him in the residence. So when she went to this place, she thought she was by herself and didn't realize it at the time," said Dept. Chief Alan Roechner, Joliet Police Dept.
Police said the mother ran back to the car and found her baby in the back seat, limp and unresponsive. The car was locked and the windows rolled up, with outside temperature was in the mid-80s. Inside the vehicle it was much warmer. Police said the baby's temperature internally was 107 degrees.
Police said they interviewed the parents extensively and it will be up to the state's attorney to determine whether to file charges of child endangerment.
Police are reminding parents of the dangers of leaving kids in hot cars.
"It's a real tragic event and people just, you know, double-check. If you have kids, just double, triple-check your cars. You don't want something like this to happen," Roechner said.
Firefighters were able to revive the baby on the scene and brought him to a hospital in Joliet. He went into cardiac arrest and was transferred to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. A relative said his condition is improving Tuesday night.

She is a careless mother if not she would have known her baby was in the car. When she dropped off her boyfriend didn't she see him without the baby when he came out of the car 'nonsense' #onelovefromsnow#
Thank for the baby's life.
But trust a Nigerian 7 year old to find his way out.

Idiot, the child is 7 months. Please read properly before commenting.
I can't imagine this, I'm a mom with a son who's almost 7 months. Some women are not meant to be mothers. To think I know people who'll do anything to be parents and these people are so careless like this.
Sad but i won't blame her you know what is going on in people's lives. May this never happen to us
Hmm.

A case I learnt of, dis time it was d husband who left d his lil toddler in his car & went 2 work (His office has a creche & so he drops his son off & den heads 2 his office) After he parked, he 4got d kid not until d wife went 2d sch 2 pick up dere son & she was told dat her son didnt come 2 sch dat day.
To cut d long story short, she called her hubby & d very forgetful hubby insisted he dropped d child at school, he left his office went 2d sch & d kid wasnt dere, only for dem 2 go 2d car park & discovered d boy has been in d car all day, with d whole days scorching sun.
He was breathing a lil @ d time of their arrival, but b4 dey got 2d hospital, d lil boy gave up! (Dere first & only child) It was so sad!!! D women wept endlessly
Bottom line we really need 2be careful, don't even leave ur child in d car 2 purchase sometin 4rm a store, anytin cld happen!!!
My car automatically unlocks if I mistakenly leave the key in the ignition or leave the headlamps on or leave it in the wrong gear. It's high time the baby car carrier makers make smart one that doesn't allow people forget their baby in the car. Cos truly, it could be your nanny forgetting the baby in the car....
How could the mother forget?
