A Texas mother who works full-time as a nurse was arrested after she allegedly left her 1-year-old child in an unlocked car in the parking lot of a restaurant where she and her family were having dinner.

Sally Zamora, 29, was arrested by Houston police on Monday on a charge of abandoning her child with the intent to return. According to court documents reviewed by Law&Crime, Zamora was monitoring her 1-year-old through a camera while she, her husband, and their other children were inside a Mambo Seafood restaurant at around 4:00 p.m. that day.

Police said that they responded to the scene after a witness found the child alone in the car, which was unlocked with the engine running and the air conditioner on.
