It turns out that the case of the baby locked in a hot car was not one of negligence but of the car’s auto-lock being accidentally activated.

PETALING JAYA – Yet another baby was left in a stationary car in the scorching heat, despite numerous efforts to educate the public on the dangers on leaving their children unattended in a locked vehicle.
In a video that has gone viral on Facebook, the baby, estimated to be a few months old, was left alone in a locked Perodua Myvi. The car was double-parked, with its engine switched off.
Facebook user Tuan Nor Azlim, who witnessed the scene and shot the video, said the incident happened in front of a bank in Section 9, Shah Alam.
“The car was heavily-tinted but luckily, the baby was in the front seat, so I noticed the child immediately.
“To make matters worse, the parents were nowhere to be seen, and the child, when rescued, was calm but sweating profusely,” he said in his Facebook post.
…
Shah Alam OCPD ACP Aziz Man Alias said no police report was lodged on the incident. According to him, the baby’s mother arrived shortly after the rescue.
“The mother admitted that she had forgotten to leave the engine running because she was rushing,” he said.
