Three-year-old boy dies in scorching hot car after his mom allegedly trapped him while out partying

A horrifying incident has taken place in Mexico as a three-year-old boy died, all because his mother left him locked in a hot car while she allegedly went out partying.

The three-year-old boy, identified as Vicente, died after being left for hours inside a scorching vehicle in northwestern Mexico, authorities said.

He was found unresponsive in a car parked outside a home in Mexicali, in the Baja California state, on Mexico’s northwestern border with the U.S. At the time, temperatures had climbed sharply, the NY Post reported

Investigators believe the boy had been trapped in the vehicle for more than 12 hours. Police stated the child’s mother had returned home late at night after attending a party and allegedly left him strapped in his car seat. She then went inside and did not realize he remained in the vehicle until the following day, officials said.
