Woman arrested for leaving 7 month old child in car overnight and child died


CEDAR HILL — Police arrested a woman whose seven-month-old son died after he was left in a car overnight.
Laheather Wilson, 35, faces a charge of injury to a child/recklessness, a second-degree felony, in the death of Christian Wilson.
Wilson realized early Wednesday morning that she had left Christian in the car after returning from day care the previous evening, said Cedar Hill police spokesman Corky Brown. She found the child unresponsive in the car outside their home in the 1200 block of Brewer Drive, near East Belt Line Road.
Wilson asked a Dallas police officer who lives nearby to help her. The officer gave the child CPR, and someone called 911. Christian was pronounced dead at the scene.
Child Protective Services took custody of Wilson’s other sons, ages 3 and 6, on Wednesday, Brown said.
Wilson was being held Wednesday night at the Dallas County Jail, where her bail had not yet been set.
