Grandma Who Left Baby in Hot Car Keeps Head Down During Gut-Wrenching 911 Call

Bless them all❤ Most grandmothers I have known would give their life for those babies, never take their lives.Tragic💔

[@SherrieMonica]

I blame the mother for leaving baby with her mother that did this only a year after go. Only a Year !

[@tracymoore6821]

Victim blaming

[@tammykletecka4116]

Stop using this woman to watch your kids. She's suffering from short term memory loss. It's sooooo obvious!

[@rhiannon7163]

She remembered everything else about her day except her baby. Everything isn't a medical excuse, she was careless and reckless.

[@shannoncliff2371]

Mom needs to be accountable for this

[@kenginger8051]

Imagine allowing one child to be in your care and the child dies and not obsessing about any other child in your care every second of every moment. Something is definitely off. She has to lack a conscious at a minimum.

[@user-jz4kw7dv9u]

Why is she chewing gum and acting annoyed, her whole demeanour is bizarre. 😮

[@LP-ct9nk]

She’s annoyed and has bizarre demeanor because she has to testify against her mom who caused the death of her second niece. Most people aren’t gonna be happy and normal in the same situation

[@User-m1w5l]

Something's up with the sister. Seems there are secrets in that family

[@DonnaVencil]

Why is she on the stand chewing gum????

[@sandramartin9784]

Reading more information about this woman, I suspect there is some dementia and denial about her mental decline. After losing the first grandchild, probably shouldn’t have been caring for another.

[@Raven24444]

Agree I wish the mother would have recognized that it was too much for her mother to be watching her children

[@mistressmilitia1180]

why does the sister smirk when asked to name her business?

[@DebbiePorter-g4b]

Maybe she would prefer to not have it out there since this is a terrible thing that happened & some will blame the parents. No other reason. It would have never been able not disclose the company name.

[@anonymoususer4866]

I got the feeling she didn’t want to say the name and reacted like do i really have to say it.

[@juliomedina7553]

Is either or the parents didn't want the baby, and the grandmother most definitely didn't want her grand baby because she did it before, so the parents knowing that she was an unfit grandmother their going to leave their baby with her again. The parents should be held accountable for it to.

[@Raven24444]

I agree it was obviously too much for Grandma to be watching the children. I wish the mother would have recognized that.

[@sjb4of9]

This is so tragic

[@60andSane]

Was grandma drinking that day?

[@maryelinroca2759]

This whole story and call is weird. so they are doing cpr and never thought about calling the police until someone else showed up? Strange family!!!

[@User-m1w5l]

Suspicious, keeping secrets

[@RobertAuditions]

Rest in peace little one😢😢❤

[@lisasmith4296]

Early onset Dementia ??

[@KellyBrown-b8d]

Oh what a monster 💀

[@80bbygrl]

Doing this TWICE!!!!!

[@RobertAuditions]

NOTHING! Absolutely NOTHING!! Is more important than the welfare of A CHILD!! This is so HEART-WRENCHING AND AVOIDABLE!!!😢😢❤

[@juicyjules7409]

Ugh 😢baby suffered

[@fracturedfairytales24]

Lucy Letby has me rethinking many of these “accidents”

[@sbss924]

Something is not right with the parents AND the grandmother. The parents should be charged also.

[@DonnaGray-fk5bf]

Is she chewing gum

[@ameliawilder28]

Maybe the grandmother isn't fit mentally to be watching a child without supervision. Could be forgetfullness, could be signs of impairment of brain functioning. I know my grandmother had to stop doing certain things like driving because she was forgetting things and forgetting frequently. It could be the case for this lady here. Not justifying her actions, but I dont see an evil person. I see someone who needs to be supervised with children because of the habit of leaving them or forgetting them in the vehicle. But I dont know. Just an assumption.

[@vickirobinette1452]

Gum chewing is anoying

[@melloniek730]

This 911 call is hard to listen to. I feel like the sister is under to much stress and prolonging help for the baby with her baffling 😢

[@kikib.9084]

or she;s also extremely selfish ... that 911 call was appalling and why didnt the grandmother call? Instead she just takes off and can't be found . her behavior speaks for itself.

[@LP-ct9nk]

The ems were already on their way after she gave them the address and what was wrong. 911 stayed on the call to get more info that they could relay to the ems services on their way

[@pinkfreud62]

Judge Judy would have made her get rid of the gum.

[@sherryknowles0811]

I have never bought into I forgot the child in a car…..NEVER, I raised 3 children as a single mom…NEVER left any of my kids in a car never forgot them anywhere. They can’t blame it on stress I was working, going to school full time & taking care of kids & our home. NO EXCUSE!

[@sherryknowles0811]

This grandmother obviously didn’t care about either grandchild & wanted to hurt these parents in the worst way…she should be in jail for life…no parole.

[@tammykletecka4116]

This poor woman and her poor family. How devastating. Hello she has dementia

[@annmallon8176]

It has not been diagnosed..she didn't forget her dinner date or playing the piano and was fine and dandy...she is not sick enough to do what she did..

[@kikib.9084]

She doesn't ... she wouldn't be on trial if there was anything seriously medically wrong with her

[@User-m1w5l]

Poor woman who has killed two grandchildren. There is nothing physically or mentally wrong with her. Quit with the excuses, she doesn't deserve them

[@Age-Rebel]

Something very strange is going on with that woman. Surely if one baby has already died in your care, you take extra responsibility with your other grandchild. With the first baby, she took a nap. With the second baby she’s off playing piano and leaves her in a hot car. Then she goes to trial rather than take responsibility. Guess we know who comes first. Jury might get psychological damage after this trial if the first death is being kept from them.

[@KellyBrown-b8d]

Just twitching back and fourth

[@KellyBrown-b8d]

Poor baby 👶🏼♀️♂️⚧️🍼

[@sherriebent2555]

Should've asked the sister if she had seen tears or if she'd ever leave her kids under the care of her mom if found innocent. How do you entrust the care to someone who had accidentally killed another one of your kids? Both sisters seemed forgiving. Entrusted the care after the fact of the first child. 🤯

[@almiacampbell5139]

so the grandparents didn't call for an ambulance 🤔

[@juicyjules7409]

Weird family 😢😮

[@kikib.9084]

My thoughts exactly and then the mother just takes off and she can't find her .... something wrong with both them. That 911 call was atrocious ... the aunt's behavior was disgusting imo

[@LP-ct9nk]

The grandpa went into cpr mode and the grandma seemed unable to do anything out of shock. I don’t think them not calling was intentional

[@Teresa-ob7oe]

I wonder if daughter is only child. I know a mother who hated her grandkids but loved their mother. She wanted her daughter to visit over holidays without her kids. She took her kids with her and the grandma ignored them the entire time. Her daughter never left her kids alone with her own mother. Mental illness is real
