Police have filed charges against the godmother of a 1-year-old girl in Texas, along with the woman’s boyfriend, after finding the baby inside a hot car riddled with bruises, abrasions and punctures.

Jazzlin Victorian, 25, allegedly told police that she left her young goddaughter, Lalani Smith, in a car with one window cracked and a semi-functional air conditioner while she visited shops in the surrounding area to ask for money. The Harris County Sherriff’s Office did not say why it responded to the scene where Smith was found but that the child was injured when they arrived.
