A 2-month-old baby is being treated after authorities said the baby was left in a minivan for about an hour outside a pediatrics clinic in Florida.
According to WFTV in Orlando, the child's mother told investigators she was inside the Avalon Park clinic with her 9-year-old Tuesday afternoon when she realized she left her baby daughter in her minivan.

"These people, they've got to pay attention to what they're doing," said resident Becky Holliman. "I mean, it's just, it's just devastating to me."
