It happened on Monday, Oct. 30 in Franklin Square, according to Nassau County Police.
At approximately 2:45 p.m., 25-year-old Amber-Rose Danahy of West Hempstead parked her car behind the Lidl grocery store, located at 969 Dogwood Avenue.
A witness later noticed her 10-month-old son crying in the back seat of the empty car.
Police rescued the child with a lockout kit; an investigation later determined that Danahy was responsible for leaving the baby unattended.
No injuries were reported, and the 10-month-old was placed into the custody of a different family member.
Danahy is charged with endangering the welfare of a child. She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment and is due to re-appear at the First District Court in Hempstead on Tuesday, Nov. 14.
