A Florida mother has been arrested and charged with child neglect after leaving her daughter alone in a locked car with the engine off for two hours while she worked out at a Palm Beach gym. Christina, who identified herself only by her first name, was arrested on February 16 after police bodycam footage showed her repeatedly lying to officers and refusing to cooperate after a concerned passerby reported that a child had been left unattended in a vehicle outside Crunch Fitness. When Palm Beach Police arrived, they found the car locked and turned off with the child asleep inside. Eventually, one officer attempted to coax the young girl to unlock the door, praising her for initially refusing to open it to a stranger. š„ Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office
