A five-month-old Florida boy died after his mother accidently left him in her SUV when she went to work, police said. Gannon Werking had been in the car from about 8:30 a.m. Thursday until his mom discovered him the back seat of her gray Ford Edge at about 5 p.m., parked outside an office building, the Treasure Coast Palm reported.

A passerby called 911 after he saw Stephanie Werking “screaming hysterically” in the parking lot, authorities said. The high temperature in Vero Beach on Thursday was 90 degrees.

    Anson: Someone in my family knows the woman… it was a change in the schedule for the parents and the boy was most likely asleep during the drive, so as a creature of habit, she didn’t drop the kid off at daycare.

    Regardless, she now has to live the rest of her life knowing that the mistake she made killed her son. I would not wish that on my worst of enemies!
