A Texas mother was taken into custody Tuesday after police alleged her 22-month-old child died when she left the infant in a car outside a Corpus Christi school on one of the hottest days of the year.

The mother, 33-year-old Hilda Ann Adame, was jailed on charges of causing serious bodily injury to a child and child endangerment/abandonment with imminent bodily injury, according to a Corpus Christi Police Department incident report.

It was not clear how long the infant had been in the car before the baby was found unresponsive, according to the incident report.

    This mistake happens to mature, professional people, of no discernable background, race, income. First parents, second parents. Doctors, layers, teachers, janitors.

    Habit distribution, sleep deprivation and distraction have no pattern of afflicting only some cluster of “irresponsible” people, in so much that anyone could determine who is in, or out of that “irresponsible” group. Including you.
