A Chandler baby was in critical but stable condition after she was left in an SUV for nearly two hours Thursday afternoon, when the temperature was approaching 110 degrees.
Police said the 3-month-old's father had taken her with him to run errands. But when he returned home around 3:15 p.m., police said, he went inside and forgot that the baby was in a car seat in the back of the car. Dispatchers were called after the father realized what had happened and removed the child from the vehicle.
Firefighters said the baby had a core body temperature of 109 degrees. She was rushed to Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa in very critical condition.
Police said the infant is one of five children and that other family members were home during the time the baby was in the car.
Chandler police detectives are investigating and it was unclear if charges would be filed against the father.
