A Montgomery woman previously convicted of severely injuring a toddler boy is under arrest again, this time for leaving her infant son in a hot car while she shopped at Walmart.

Javonda Latrice Weeks, 33, is charged with contributing to the dependency of a minor, which is a misdemeanor, said Montgomery police Capt. Zedrick Dean. She is also charged with probation violation.

Weeks is the second Alabama mother charged in recent weeks with leaving a child in a hot car while shopping.

Montgomery police and firefighters were called to the 800 block of Ann Street about 10 a.m. Saturday after the 7-month-old boy - clad only in a diaper - was spotted unattended in the vehicle.

Dean said the windows had been left cracked and the vehicle was unlocked. Weeks was taken into custody, and the baby was placed into the custody of his father.

Gina Flores posted about the incident on her Facebook page. "Thank God I got here when I did,'' she wrote. "Little fella was limp, covered in sweat and just about gone. They left two windows down and left him in his car seat. Their excuse, 'He was asleep, all he had on was a pamper, we figured he would be OK.' Over an hour in Alabama heat!????"

Weeks remained in the Montgomery County Detention Center this afternoon, where she is being held without bond because of the probation violation charge. Two years ago, in 2014, Weeks was arrested on an aggravated child abuse charge after she hit a toddler boy in her care with her hands and an unidentified blunt object, according to court records.

The 3-year-old boy suffered skull fractures and two breaks in his left arm. On June 24, 2015, she pleaded guilty to the felony charge. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison with three to serve.

According to court records, a judge on July 27, 2015 ordered Weeks to a reverse split sentence which means she was placed on one-year probation. She was ordered to complete parenting and anger management classes, and was to return to court this month - July 27 - to show cause why her prison sentence should not be implemented or begin serving her time.

Following last week's case in Alabaster, Alabaster firefighters on Friday held a demonstration to show the effects of being left in a hot car.
