SPOKANE -- A baby found locked in a hot car in North Spokane Thursday night is recovering, but uninjured.

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.
