Hot Baby in Car Alert: Greenville, Alabama

It's time of year again: when moms (and dads) pack the kids in the car, head to the mall (or liquor store or strip club) park and leave their toddlers locked inside while the temperature reaches 100 degrees. Why does this continue to happen when every time someone gets arrested CNN's Nancy Grace goes nuts and does a whole week of shows about the incident? (Maybe I'm the only one watching her show?)

An off-duty sheriff rescues a child from a hot car and the mother arrested. Greenville police tells WSFA 12 News officers responded to a call at Wal-mart concerning a child locked in a vehicle. Upon arrival, officers observed the front passenger window had been knocked out of the vehicle and then saw a man holding a child, saying he was the one who made the call. Officer's say the off-duty sheriff noticed the child sweating and busted the window out with his baton. Thirty-minutes later, officers arrested found and arrested the mother of the child 28 year old Valla Leigh Furr from Luverne. Officers charged her endangering the welfare of a child.
