Just one week after a 14-month-old was found in a hot car in Birmingham, police were called after a one-year-old was found alone in a vehicle earlier today.

The incident happened at the Walmart on Montclair Road. Police were called after someone noticed the small child in the car unattended.

The young girl's mother returned to the car as police were working to get the child out. The Department of Human Resources were called and took the one-year-old into custody.

According to authorities, those on the scene examined the child and determined she was unharmed.

No charges have been filed at this point as the investigation continues.

It seems crazy that these directions exist but here are a few hot car safety tips.
