Grandmother Arrested for Leaving Baby in Hot Car | Charlotte News

A 50-year-old woman in Monroe, North Carolina, faces child abuse charges after allegedly leaving her 8-month-old granddaughter alone in a 96-degree car for 10 minutes—while she was at the county’s Animal Services building trying to adopt kittens. Deputies spotted her car parked oddly between sheriff vehicles, and when they approached, she rushed back, retrieved the baby, and returned inside. The infant was checked by EMS and appeared fine, but Union County Social Services has taken custody of the child. McManus was arrested on the spot and held without bond—a chilling reminder of how fast danger can escalate in extreme heat.
