Couple left baby in car to watch Kentucky Derby

A couple in Southampton, New York are being charged with child endangerment for leaving their 2-month-old in the car while they went into an OTB to watch the Kentucky Derby. And the brainiac mom can’t figure out that she did anything wrong:

Krystal Rose Downes, later told officers she thought her infant was safe enough because the car’s heat was on. She said she hadn’t endangered the baby “because after all, she didn’t leave the baby out in the cold,” and “she made sure she left the vehicle running so the heat could be kept on,” police told Newsday newspaper.
