A Houston daycare service owner was taken into custody after allegedly leaving five children she was caring for in a hot car while she was in a grocery store.
Domonique Wilson, 32, was charged with five counts of endangering a child, which is a felony in Texas.
According to court records, Wilson left the children in a hot car, placing them in imminent danger of bodily injury or death. It was 91 degrees outside during the incident.
She also had two children of her own, who she brought inside the store. The children were reportedly noticed in the car by a passerby and were “red-faced, crying and in distress.”
Documents indicated that one of the children was eight years old, but the ages of the other four children have not been verified at this time.

Records also said that Wilson didn’t voluntarily deliver the children to an emergency care provider after the incident.
According to additional court documents, Wilson has owned a child daycare service called My Lil Angels for more than three years. She seemingly ran the service out of her apartment.
She appeared in court Monday morning and was given a bond of $10,000 for each of the five counts.
