The gut-wrenching moment an officer confronted a woman accused of leaving her toddler inside a hot van was captured on a body camera.

The child’s internal temperature upon transport was more than 100 degrees, as said by the police report.
Chrysty Lansdowne does not count herself as a hero for saving the young child.
Hannah Secondi’s one-year-old daughter is alive and safe, but when police approached Secondi in the parking lot of a Walmart in Owasso, Oklahoma, it wasn’t clear she would be. Oh, my god! My husband’s going to kill.
However, Landsdowne says Secondi left the store with another child and doesn’t believe the 1-year-old was simply forgotten. She is now with her father, and the mother was detained, reported by KFOR.
Secondi appeared to be with at least one other person at the time.
Paramedics transported the child, a female, to St. Johns Owasso where she was treated for an extreme heat-related condition.
“It’s not like she just, you know, ‘Oh, I just ran inside really quick.
Oh, my god!” Secondi could be heard saying on video from a police officer’s body camera.
Owasso police arrested a Rogers County woman earlier this week after she allegedly left her 1-year-old inside a hot auto while she went shopping at a local shopping center. “There was no reason why the baby should have been left in the vehicle”.
“If the baby would have been unconscious or asleep, we would have had no idea”, Bizzell said.
