Parker, Colo. -- Police officers cited a mother on suspicion of child abuse Thursday after they said they found her 11-month-old baby in a hot car. Police said Imene Nouis left the baby in the car at about 1:15 p.m. while she went into a tanning salon. "She was asleep and I didn't want to wake her," Nouis told 7NEWS. A woman on her way to tan notified workers at the salon of the child left in the car. "I immediately called the police and then we shut the bed off," said Daniel Rohn, of At The Beach.
When officers got the baby out of the car, the temperature inside was 138 degrees. "She was stunned," said Rohn. "She didn’t quite understand what was going on and didn't think she had done anything wrong." Police said the baby appeared to be fine. Rohn said the girl was sweating and very thirsty. Rohn said the mother planned on tanning for 12 minutes, then spray tanning, which would have lasted a total of about 30 minutes.
The mother was cited, but not arrested, police said. "The Parker Police Department takes this very seriously," said Sherry Corcoran, of the Parker Police Department. "It was a misjudgment," Nouis said. "I love my daughter." 7NEWS found Nouis has a profile on a babysitting website that says she is looking for work as a babysitter. The high temperature on Thursday was 96 degrees -- near the record high of 97 degrees.
