Police near Atlanta have charged a mother with felony murder after they say she left her 1-year-old daughter in a hot car while she got her hair done at a salon.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Dijanelle Fowler also faces charges of child cruelty and concealing the death of the girl, Skylar Fowler, on June 15. Police have not alleged that the death was intentional.
Police say the girl was found dead inside a parking deck at Emory University Hospital.
Arrest warrants state that Fowler was in a salon in the Tucker area for several hours, then drove to Emory and called 911. When emergency crews arrived, the 1-year-old girl was already dead.
It wasn't immediately clear whether Fowler has a lawyer representing her.
