One-year-old girl dies after being left in the car all day

A one-year-old girl left locked inside of a parked vehicle in a Dallas parking lot of Friday — when the outside temperature was 86 degrees — has died, and her mother has been charged in the death.
Victoria Marks, who celebrated her first birthday last week, was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Her mother, Vibha Marks, has been arrested on a charge of abandoning a child with serious bodily injury.
She was released on a $50,000 bond on Saturday.
According to police reports, the child was strapped in a car seat in the rear of the car, which was parked in a lot outside an elementary school in Dallas, where her mother was a teacher.
A passer-by, Exenia Gomez, told WFAA TV that she saw the infant and took a 2-by-4 from her truck and smashed a window.
"I just came out of my truck and I see something pink and I see there is a baby in there," Gomez said. "I looked straight at the baby and it wasn't moving or anything. I actually held her and saw her face…unimaginable."
According to a statement from Dallas Independent School District, the mother of Victoria is a teacher who only recently started working at the Frank Guzick Elementary School.
She's been placed on administrative leave by the district. The district says it sent out a letter to parents after school telling them that both the staff and the students "were safe at all times."
