Two Texas mothers facing charges for leaving kids locked in hot cars

Two Texas mothers are facing charges for leaving their kids alone locked in hot cars over the weekend.

In San Antonio, Angela Garza-Amador was arrested and charged with child endangerment for leaving her four-year-old, her two-year-old and a one-month-old infant in a locked car Friday afternoon while temps flirted with high 90s. The kids were hospitalized, released and expected to recover.

In Baytown near Houston, 28-year-old Lydia Aviles was getting her nails done Friday afternoon and while she left her car on with A/C running, it was not strong enough to cool the car where her two young children were waiting.

Aviles was released from Harris County Jail on a $20,000 bond and her kids were released to a family member. No injuries were reported.
