A 27-year-old Dallas County mother was arrested on Monday, accused of leaving her young son alone in a hot car. The child survived, but things could have been much worse. Topping out at 107 degrees, Monday was the hottest day of the year.

The car was sitting in the parking lot of the Texas Workforce Commission building, located off of Stemmons Freeway. The windows were cracked, police said, but the engine was turned off. An observant parking lot security guard noticed the 2-year-old child and immediately called 911 for help.

According to authorities, the child had been inside of the hot car for about five or seven minutes. At the time of the incident, about 3:00 p.m. Monday, the temperature in Dallas was 105 degrees.

The mother has been identified as Gloria Arellano. She has been charged with child endangerment.

Despite making a terrible decision that led to tragedy, Judge Bob Lemkau is running for another term to keep his spot on the bench in San Bernardino County.

In recent months, Katie Tagle pleaded to Lemkau that her son’s father was dangerous and suicidal. Despite numerous text messages and a chilling murder-suicide story, Stephen Garcia was granted partial custody of their son, Wyatt Garcia. Katie sought a restraining order from Stephen that Lemkau overturned and begged that he not be granted visitation unless supervised.

Despite all the proof that Stephen had sent to Katie and her family that he was capable of murder, Judge Lemkau told Katie, “I think you’re lying.”

Even after Stephen uploaded pictures with “RIP” on him and his son, and a letter saying he would kill them along with text messages, Wyatt was released into Stephen’s care.

Days later on Jan. 31, Stephen drove his son into the mountains, where he shot his 9-month-old son and then himself.

Despite this incident, Bob Lemkau has decided he is appropriate to retain his position in our justice system with no remorse for his refusal to see Katie’s evidence and listen to her.

Deputy District Attorney James Hosking has decided to run against Bob Lemkau for superior court judge to make sure that Lemkau is removed from the bench. The election is June 8 and Hosking needs donations to help his campaign be featured in voter mailouts that will be in your mailbox soon.

A soldier waterboarded his four-year-old daughter because she was unable to recite her alphabet.
Joshua Tabor admitted to police he had used the CIA torture technique because he was so angry.
As his daughter ‘squirmed’ to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline.
Tabor, 27, who had won custody of his daughter only four weeks earlier, admitted choosing the punishment because the girl was terrified of water.

The practice of waterboarding was used by the CIA to break Al Qaeda suspects at Guantanamo Bay. Detainees had water poured over their face until they feared they would drown. President Barack Obama has since outlawed the practice.
Tabor, a soldier at the Lewis-McChord base in Tacoma, Washington, was arrested after being seen walking around his neighbourhood wearing a Kevlar military helmet and threatening to break windows.
Police discovered the alleged waterboarding when they went to his home in the Tacoma suburb of Yelm and spoke to his girlfriend.
She told them about the alleged torture and the terrified girl was found hiding in a closet, with bruising on her back and scratch marks on her neck and throat.
Asked how she got the bruises, the girl is said to have replied: ‘Daddy did it.’
During a police interview Tabor allegedly admitted grabbing his daughter, placing her on the kitchen counter and submerging her face into a bowl of water.
Sergeant Rob Carlson said the punishment was carried out because the girl would not recite the alphabet.
Police have not revealed Tabor’s military service, but his base is home to units that have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Tabor has been charged with assault and ordered to remain on his base and have no contact with his daughter or girlfriend, who has not been named. He is due to appear in court this week.
The girl has been taken into care. Her natural mother lives in Kansas but Tabor had been granted custody by a court.
