A Tennessee woman faces a child charge after police say she left her young daughter in a hot car while she auditioned at a strip club.
Metropolitan Nashville Police said they found a 9-month-old girl inside a PT Cruiser outside Deja Vu, a gentleman's club. It was 70 degrees outside and as hot as 100 degrees in the car, police said.
An officer spoke to 19-year-old Summer Taylor, a friend of the child's mother, who told them she was keeping an eye on the little girl while the mother auditioned on stage.
