Mother left 9-year-old daughter in hot car for an entire work day, put up window shade so it would be hard to see inside: Sheriff
Story by Conrad Hoyt • 19h

A Texas mother is accused of leaving her 9-year-old daughter alone in a hot car during a summer day while she went to work, leading to the child's death.

Gbemisola Akayinode, 36, has been charged with felony murder and booked into the Harris County Jail, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez announced on Friday. The charges were brought more than three months after the incident in question.

On July 1, the defendant drove to work at a mineral plant in Galena Park on Mayo Shell Road with her daughter, Oluwasikemi Akayinode in tow. The mother exited the car to begin her shift at 6 a.m., leaving the child inside "with the back windows partially down," the sheriff said.

The girl was also left with some water, but as the hours dragged on, the heat naturally increased in the small South Texas town. After an eight hour shift, at about 2 p.m., Gbemisola Akayinode went to check on her daughter and noticed she was unresponsive, Houston CBS affiliate KHOU reported.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If she's Islamic, doesn't that give her the right to kill her daughter and doesn't Islamic law supersede American law these days? :whistle:

In some states yes, I have read that Islamic law supersedes American laws.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
There are child proof 'safety locks' on many car doors that keep the door from being opened (and unlocked) from the inside. I found out about them when I locked myself into my 2000 1 ton van. I did not know it had them, and only got out by climbing over the load and letting myself out the back. Then I read the manual (online, I bought the van used) and found out about them.

If those were engaged, the kid would not be able to open (or unlock) the doors. With electric windows, the kid would not be able to do anything about that, either.

Plus a 9-year old Muslim female unaccompanied by a family member could be cause for an Honor Killing.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In what states would that be?

Throw the full legal book at the mother.  So, also find out if the 9 year old was sedated?  Tied down?  Locked in the car from the outside?  Unable to yell for more water?
