as a lifetime resident of this area, 80 degrees in a locked car is warm but not really hot. YES, that baby should have been at home sleeping snugly in his/her crib. The mother should have stayed home or at the minimum called her hubby/boyfriend/lover/friend, etc.. at that bar to do her business, whatever it was. Here in Florida in a locked car, it can get up to 130 degrees. Just some perspective here, folks. I am sure that mother has problems and exercised very poor judgment.

on edit: On a re-reading of the article, it appears that her extreme alcohol intoxication was more of an issue than the temperature in the car, and the fact that she had passed out or fallen asleep, etc.
