Overview

  • Police said the 36-year-old from Siegen left her one-year-old foster son sleeping in a Dacia in the Schadow Arkaden parking garage around 10:30 a.m.
  • About 90 minutes later a garage employee heard the boy crying and called officers as the air inside had become warm and stuffy.
  • Responders used an emergency hammer to smash the driver’s window and freed the child, who was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
  • Doctors later gave the all-clear after examinations, according to reports from Düsseldorf police and local media.
  • The woman returned to the car hours later stating she had lost her orientation, and youth-welfare services assumed the case after police filed a complaint.
