India, July 9 -- A one-year-old baby died after allegedly being left in a car in Porterville, California, by his mother, Maya Hernandez, who went for a cosmetic appointment. The child's two-year-old brother, also left behind, survived with a body temperature of 99 degrees.

"They were strapped in their car seats. They couldn't even get up to save themselves," the boys' grandmother Katie Martinez said. "She locked them in their car seats and shut their doors", Martinez added.

Maya, 20, faces one felony count of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of willful child cruelty for the June 29 incident. Earlier this year, she was reported to Child Protective Services for alleged emotional abuse, but the claim was found unsubstantiated.
