A 4-month-old boy is recovering after spending 12 hours in a hot car in Alabama, it was reported.
“When I saw him cry it almost made me cry, so I hit one time and it bust,” he said.
Another witness, Tarance James, said the child was “turning purple,” unable to cry, and was sweating through his clothes.
“I see the baby turning purple, it was sweating, I looked at the scalp, it was dry and had dandruff,” said James, according to the report “So, when they got the baby out of the car and the back was wet, the Pamper was wet, the baby wanted to cry but it couldn’t cry, I’m like, oh, man.”
The child’s father, who was not named, was allegedly supposed to be watching the boy but told officials that he forgot him in the car at around 10 p.m. the night before.
Police were called at around 9 a.m. the next day about the child, who was not identified.
“I was going crazy just thinking it’s a kid,” Scott said, according to the report. He added that the incident is “dead wrong, leaving the baby in the car like that, you don’t do that.”
The child was rushed to a hospital to be checked out, and an investigation is ongoing.
