The temperatures outside were approaching 90 degrees. One can only imagine how hot it was inside the car, where the 15-month-old was locked in a car seat.

Police officers rushed to the care with a slim jim and frantically to pop open the lock, but it wasn't working. Then firefighters arrived and used an ax to break through the window.

As fresh air rushed in, the child began to cry. Firefighters pulled the toddler out of the warm car and put him in his grandmother's arms. His face was red and he looked very hot, but he began to look better after paramedics gave him some water.

"Yeah, I threw my keys inside and the car locked when I walked around it," said Sabrina Schaper, who said she had no idea her car would lock.

Paramedics checked the toddler's heartbeat and temperature and everything seemed normal. The toddler was able to immediately go home with his grandmother.

"Next time we'll leave the window open when I walk around the car," Schaper said.

Schaper was not charged since it was an accident.
