The Texan woman enjoyed herself in a bar on Monday (local time) while her child simply stayed in the car.

What she didn't realize was that she had parked her vehicle illegally. A towing service had already approached.

As the US news portal FOX 26 reports, the tow truck came to take away the improperly parked Honda.

Tow truck driver discovers toddler in car

To avoid arguments, the driver first pulled the mother's car down the road. Only then did he want to secure it completely. While he was working on it, he suddenly noticed the toddler inside and immediately alerted the police.

The child was taken unharmed to a family member and the case was passed on to the youth welfare office. The mother, who has several previous convictions, is charged with child endangerment.
