Johnson County Mother Charged for Leaving 2-Month-Old in Hot Car
FRANKLIN, Ind. — A Franklin woman faces a felony neglect charge after police said she left her 2-month-old son in a hot car with a gun while she completed a DoorDash order.
According to the Franklin Police Department, Kylie Grace Miller, 25, was inside a Meijer in Johnson County over the weekend while her baby was crying in the car out in the parking lot. Officers were called to the store Sunday afternoon after a person noticed the child inside the car, which was not running.
Police said the vehicle’s front windows were rolled up completely and the back windows were cracked a few inches.
Officers were able to get the boy out of the hot car and put him in an air-conditioned police car.
Miller claimed she left her son in the car because he was sleeping and only planned to be in Meijer for a few minutes to pick up a DoorDash order. Franklin police said the DoorDash app showed Miller had been inside the store between 12 and 20 minutes.
Miller has been charged with one count of neglect of a dependent, a Level 6 felony. She has since been released from jail after posting a $10,000 bond.
