Police: Mom Locks Girl In Trunk During Prison Visit
HUNTINGDON, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania woman is accused of locking her daughter in a car trunk while she visited her husband in prison.
The woman was arrested this weekend at a state prison about 95 miles east of Pittsburgh. State police say prison guards heard crying and yelling coming from the vehicle -- and found the 3-year-old girl in the trunk.
Police say the woman apparently locked her in after prison officials wouldn't let the girl enter because she wasn't on a visitors list. Police say the girl was in the trunk for about 40 minutes, but wasn't hurt.
The mother is facing charges of endangerment and attempted aggravated assault. The girl's been turned over to child welfare officials.
