A 35-year-old La Habra mother has been arrested on suspicion of child abuse after her 19-month-old baby fell out of her moving SUV while making a left turn through a Fullerton intersection with another vehicle close on its heels, according to police and a video that ended up online.<\/p>\n
The child suffered scrapes and bruises and was expected to make a full recovery, said Kristy Wells, a spokesperson for Fullerton police.<\/p>\n
As seen in a video taken on Tuesday morning, a black Mercedes-Benz makes the turn at Malvern Avenue and Euclid Street when the front passenger door opens and the toddler falls into the middle of the street and skids along for a bit.<\/p>\n
The SUV and a sedan behind abruptly stop.<\/p>\n
A woman then gets out of the SUV, runs around the back, picks up the child and they apparently return to the Mercedes.<\/p>\n
The department saw the video online, Wells said, and had \u201cbegun to look into the incident but the video didn\u2019t provide any identifying info to follow up on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Four days after the child fell into the street, a witness came forward with information about the SUV that helped officers find the vehicle, the woman and the child in the video, Wells said, without elaborating.<\/p>\n
The baby had not received any medical attention until after their mother was arrested, Wells said, but was then taken it a hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 35-year-old La Habra mother has been arrested on suspicion of child abuse after her 19-month-old baby fell…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,7,723,138,2628,100,611,136],"class_list":["post-155494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-california","tag-crime","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-fullerton","tag-news","tag-orange-county","tag-top-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
