On Monday, one mom did something that she would forever regret and wants to speak out about. On her way back from a friends house, she got thirsty and stopped at a Texaco gas station in Houston. She left the keys in the car, and the car running as her 8 month old daughter was sleeping in the back. Then something happened that would change everything. 

As she left the car, a person jumped in and put the car in reverse and drove off, with the baby still in the back seat. The mother threw herself onto the car but was unable to stop it. An amber alert was sent out for the missing child and thankfully a jogger found the baby hidden in a bush. She was safe! “I knew if they didn’t find my baby, I was going to go crazy. Mentally, I was not going to be OK,” said Hailey. “He’s like your baby is safe,” recalled Hailey. “Best news of my life. I don’t even think winning the lottery would have been better.”

“I advise no parents to ever leave their babies in the car,” said Hailey. “That one minute can change your whole world and your whole life.” The car was later found abandoned but the man has yet to be found.
