BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — A 28-year-old mother charged in connection to the alleged hot car deaths of her two children has prior involvement with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), according to the agency.

Tiona Islar remains locked up at the Bexar County jail on charges of injury to a child causing serious bodily injury/death. On Saturday after 3 p.m., deputies with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home in the 7000 block of Chancery Gate to reports of two children found dead inside a hot car.

Islar told investigators the last time she had seen her children (3-year-old Miyani Islar and 6-year-old Sevani Stevenson) was when they got home and she took them inside earlier in the day. She noted her kids must’ve accessed the car somehow on their own.
