Elena Grady, a 63-year-old grandmother from Florida, faces neglect charges after a 2-year-old child was found locked inside a hot car in Ormond Beach. The incident occurred on July 2, with the car parked in direct sunlight without running and with cracked windows. The outside temperature was 91 degrees Fahrenheit, with a heat index of 101 degrees. Upon discovery, the child appeared lethargic, prompting the Publix manager to intervene by unlocking the car and taking the child inside to cool down. Grady later took custody of the child and left the store, leading to her subsequent charge of neglect by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
