Two Mothers Arrested After Three Children Found Alone in Hot Car in Redford

A Child Protective Services probe is under way with the Wayne County prosecutor set to decide whether to file charges.

Overview

  • A passerby called 911 and police found three small children alone in a parked, non‑running vehicle with the windows partly open around 5 p.m.
  • Detectives located the children's two mothers elsewhere in Redford Plaza and arrested both on allegations of child neglect.
  • The children were taken to Garden City Hospital for heat exposure treatment, were quickly stabilized, and were released to family members.
  • Child Protective Services opened an investigation and the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office will review the case record to determine possible charges.
  • Police and medical experts warned that car interiors can reach life‑threatening temperatures in minutes even with windows cracked and urged people never to leave children or pets unattended.
