A video captured the moment a baby was rescued from a hot car in Evansville, Indiana, on Monday and police said that the mother showed little remorse.

The incident unfolded at a Walmart parking lot after bystanders noticed a child in the car.

WFIE-TV reported that the four-month-old child was left in the car for more than two hours as temperatures reached 86 degrees Fahrenheit.

Kelly Decorrevont, 35, was later arrested after the rescue operation. She was charged with child neglect and possession of marijuana.

Officers also reported that the baby was sweating profusely, according to WEHT.

“Decorrevont seemed as if she had no clue why officers were near her vehicle. Officer C. Nutt informed Decorrevont that we were there due to her infant, later identified as Vincent Decorrevont, being left unattended inside of a locked, hot vehicle. Decorrevont did not seem very remorseful,” the officers wrote in an affidavit, ABC7 reported. “Decorrevont stated to me, Officer R. Smith, that she did not realize that her son was even in the vehicle.”
