\u201cAn adult female is then seen running from the driver\u2019s side of the SUV, picking up the child, and returning to the vehicle before the video ends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investigators are continuing to probe the incident but suspect it occurred on January 20 thanks to the intel of a witness who came forward days later.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe witness was able to provide identifying information related to the vehicle involved. Officers conducted a follow-up investigation, which led them to a residence in the City of La Habra.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orange County resident Jacqueline Hernandez was later arrested on suspicion of felony child abuse in relation to the video and is being held in custody at Fullerton City Jail.<\/p>\n

Police confirmed the 35-year-old is the mother of the toddler involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe child, a 19-month-old, sustained injuries consistent with the fall and was transported to an area hospital for treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The baby is expected to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n
