A Mississauga mother is facing criminal charges after police say her child was left locked in a parked car for about 90 minutes.

The incident occurred just before 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 10, when Halton police responded to a 911 call in what appeared to be an infant locked in a parked car at Trafalgar Ridge Plaza in Oakville, at Trafalgar Road and Hays Boulevard in Oakville.

“It was quickly determined that the child's mother had been shopping in a nearby store for approximately 90 minutes,” police said in a statement.

Halton paramedics were contacted to assess the 11-month-old infant, and later cleared the baby of any physical harm.
