“Her Lips Were More Important Than Her Own Child”: Baby Passes Away In Hot Car, Mom Arrested

Mother Leaves Baby in Hot Car for Lip Filler—One Child Dies, Nation Outraged

In a heartbreaking and preventable tragedy, 20-year-old Maya Hernandez is in police custody after leaving her two small children—ages 2 and 1—inside a hot car for over two hours while she received lip filler injections at a Bakersfield, California med spa. Her youngest child, Amillio Gutierrez, tragically died from heat exposure.

According to police reports, Hernandez assumed her Toyota Corolla Hybrid would keep running with the air conditioning on, unaware that the system shuts off automatically after an hour. The car, parked during peak heat facing west, reached 101°F inside—essentially turning it into an oven.

“I thought he was just red from the heat,” Hernandez told authorities when she noticed her baby seizing.

Despite her belief the children would be safe with snacks, milk, and a cellphone, the consequences were devastating. Experts warn that children are far more vulnerable to heat, often succumbing in less than an hour.

As public outrage grows, Amillio’s family is mourning deeply. “You did not deserve this,” his grandmother wrote in a GoFundMe plea.

“Every nine days, a child dies in a hot car,” says Safe Kids Worldwide. This tragedy is a chilling reminder that no errand is worth a child’s life.
