California man arrested after leaving baby locked in car at post office, police say
Briefly

On June 17, police in Corona rescued a 3-month-old boy from a locked car parked outside a post office while his father was inside. Responding to the sound of the baby crying, officers assessed the situation and determined immediate action was necessary. With the interior temperature measured at 110 degrees, they broke the window to access the child, who was subsequently cradled and later found to be in good health after a check at the hospital. The father was arrested for child endangerment, highlighting the dangers of leaving children unattended in vehicles.
We have to do something right now, Kouroubacalis said, describing the officers' assessment of the situation.
Corona firefighters later measured the interior temperature at 110 degrees, the Instagram post said.
The baby is fine, now, Kouroubacalis said, urging parents to not leave children in locked cars with the windows up.
Officers then went into the post office, found the father and arrested him on suspicion of child endangerment.
