A young boy has tragically died in a hot car after being mistakenly left for up to three hours by his mother, it is claimed.
The mum had rushed home as she prepared for the birthday party of another child, a girl, aged eight, and is believed to have not realised the boy, five, was still in the car on the afternoon of June 20.
It was only after two or three hours that she noticed the tot was missing and she made the tragic discovery of the child in the car, said Texas police.
