MIDLAND, Texas - A 3-month-old baby was left unattended in a shopping cart for about an hour Sunday when her parents accidentally left her behind, police said. Shoppers noticed the abandoned baby at a Toys "R" Us store, Midland police Sgt. Alfredo Grimaldo said.
The family members, who were traveling in different cars, didn‘t realize what happened until they all got home and nobody had the baby, he said.
Police spokeswoman Tina Jauz said Child Protective Services is looking into the case.
