Child found in car in Sydney's southwest A WOMAN accused of leaving her nine-month-old son in the back seat of her car in Sydney's southwest is expected to be charged with causing distress to a child. Police say they were called to a car in Lakemba at about 10pm (AEDT) on Tuesday to find the allegedly distressed baby which they removed after forcing entry. A short time later the 31-year-old mother arrived to say she had been doing chores in a nearby unit and had left the baby in the car to sleep. NSW Ambulance paramedics attended and assessed the baby, which was found to be uninjured and left with his mother. Police said on Wednesday that it is expected the woman will be issued with a court attendance notice. Last year in NSW 19 people were charged for causing distress or injury after leaving a child in a vehicle. It is against the law to leave a child locked in a car unattended, and doing so can attract fines of up to $22,000. Police said that on hot days the temperature inside a parked car can rise to 30-40C above the outside temperature and if it's a 30C day the temperature can exceed 70C.
