ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A babysitter watching a baby girl in Winter Garden has been arrested for leaving the child in the car without air conditioning, Winter Garden police said.
The incident was reported Wednesday at the Winter Garden Shopping Center, police said.
Kris Barberio said he noticed a baby was locked inside a car, not running and without air conditioning.
Barberio called 911 at 1:44 p.m. When police arrived, they said the blonde baby girl was extremely hot, in a car seat, with a sweaty head, face and arms.
Police broke the driver’s side window to get the baby out. She is doing well, police said.
Surveillance video showed Claire Tower going inside the Chipotle at 1:27 p.m.
Tower told Channel 9’s Shannon Butler that she “didn’t mean to do it.”
“(It) was an accident. It was an accident,” Tower said.
Tower has been charged with child neglect.
Eyewitness News has requested surveillance video of the incident.
