Mother arrested after video shows toddler fall out of moving SUV in Southern California

A Mother's Shocking Moment: Toddler Falls Out of SUV in California

In a harrowing incident that has sent shockwaves through the community, a 35-year-old woman was arrested after her 19-month-old child tumbled out of an SUV while she was driving in Fullerton, California. The gruesome scene unfolded on January 20 when the toddler, who weighs around 20 pounds, fell to the ground as their SUV made a left turn at an intersection.

Miraculously, the vehicle came to an immediate halt, preventing a potential collision with another car behind it. However, what followed was even more disturbing. The mother got out of the driver's side and hastily picked up her injured child before returning to the vehicle and continuing her drive away from the scene.

Fortunately, a witness reported the incident on January 24 and provided identifying information about the SUV, which led investigators to locate the vehicle and its occupants at a home. Jacqueline Marie Hernandez was taken into custody on suspicion of child abuse, while the toddler sustained injuries consistent with the fall and is expected to make a full recovery at an area hospital.

Police are still investigating the incident, but it's clear that this is a case of gross negligence, leaving many to wonder how such a tragedy could have occurred. The young mother faces serious charges, which may ultimately determine the severity of her punishment. As authorities continue to unravel the circumstances surrounding this heart-wrenching event, one thing remains certain: the safety and well-being of children must always be the top priority in situations like these.
 
πŸ€• I'm literally shaking just thinking about that little one's near-death experience 😱. How can a mom even think to get back into the car after just letting her toddler fall out? πŸš—πŸ˜¨ It's just so heartbreaking, and I hope the kid is okay, but also super lucky that the vehicle stopped immediately... it could've been so much worse πŸ’”. The fact that she got out, picked up the kid, and then drove away from the scene is just mind-boggling to me 🀯. How do we even explain this kind of negligence? πŸ˜•
 
OMG, can u even imagine? 🀯 My little cousin has a 19-month-old cousin who went thru something super similar at school! She fell off the playground & luckily the swings were there to break her fall πŸ˜” But it's really scary when parents aren't paying attention. I feel so bad for that mom, i hope she gets help. Schools should have more staff on ground, esp with all the new parents coming out 🀝
 
πŸ˜’ What's wrong with these parents? I mean, i've seen some crazy stuff online but this takes the cake. Leaving a toddler unattended in an SUV while driving? That's just asking for trouble! πŸš—πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ And to make matters worse, she gets back in and keeps driving? That's just shocking (pun intended). πŸ™„ I don't get it, what was she thinking?! πŸ€”
 
omg can you believe this 😱 19 months old baby just fell out of an SUV while mom was driving?? how did she not even check her kid before getting into the car?? i mean, i get that accidents happen but this is just crazy... and to make matters worse, she kept driving away from the scene after picking up her kid like nothing happened πŸš—πŸ˜‘ what's wrong with some people? and now the mom is facing serious charges for child abuse... hope she gets some time to think about what she did πŸ˜’
 
omg what was she even thinking?? a 19-month-old toddler just fell out of an SUV and her reaction was all wrong 🀯😱 she got out, picked up her kid, and then just left them there while driving away... that's not motherly love, that's neglect. and now she's facing serious charges... i don't think a slap on the wrist is going to cut it for this one. what if that little one had gotten hurt more badly? or worse, never made it πŸ€• the police need to get to the bottom of this and make sure she faces the consequences for her actions.
 
🚨😱 I'm still trying to wrap my head around this crazy story. A mom literally leaves her 1-year-old dangling out the window of an SUV and just keeps driving?!?! Like, what's wrong with that woman? 🀯 I feel so bad for the little one who got hurt, but like, how did she not notice or react in time? 😭 And now this mom is facing serious charges... seriously, how does that even happen? πŸš«πŸ˜’
 
omg what a crazy situation! 🚨🀯 I mean i'm glad the kid is gonna be ok but how could she just leave her injured toddler in the car? πŸ™„ it's one thing to make an emergency stop but continuing to drive with someone hurt inside? that's just not right. πŸ˜’ and what's up with her getting out, picking up the kid, and then just leaving them alone again? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ seriously, as a parent, you gotta be on top of things 24/7, especially when it comes to your little ones. πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ the fact that she's being charged is no surprise either - gross negligence is pretty much the understatement of the year πŸ™„
 
omg what a terrifying scene that poor kid is so lucky mom didn't lose them πŸ˜±πŸ’” i mean i know accidents can happen but that's just insane how did she not even notice her kid was out of seatbelt?!? πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ and then to keep driving away from the scene while her kid is crying and hurt on the ground? no wonder she got arrested, it's a miracle nobody else got hurt πŸ™

as a parent myself i'm so angry but also kinda disappointed in this mom, we always teach our kids about safety and what not, and here is an example of how that can go wrong πŸ˜” i hope she gets the help she needs though 'cause clearly something is wrong with her thought process that day...
 
This is just so heartbreaking... I mean, can you even imagine being that mom? The thought of her little one falling out of an SUV and not stopping to check on them immediately is just devastating πŸ€•. It's like, she was driving away from a tragedy while her child was lying there in pain - what kind of mother does that? But at the same time, I'm trying not to jump to conclusions or make assumptions about this woman's state of mind... maybe she was in shock or something and just didn't know what to do?

It's also making me think about how quickly our lives can change and how we're all just one mistake away from disaster. Like, that car turn could've been the difference between life and death for her child 🚨. And now this mom is facing serious charges - it's like she's being given a second chance to get it right, but also to confront the consequences of her actions.

It's really got me thinking about what it means to be a good parent... is it just about following rules and not making mistakes, or is it about being present and attentive in the moment? And how do we balance the need for responsibility with the chaos of life? 🀯
 
πŸ™„ can u believe this?! some ppl think driving w/ a toddler & just casually picking them up on the side of the road is A thing? 🀯 newsflash, it's not! i mean, what kinda mom gets outta her car, picks up their injured kid, & keeps driving like NO BIG DEAL?! πŸš—πŸ˜· at least she didn't run over the kid or anything (fingers crossed). seriously though, 19-month-old toddlers don't exactly have a 'child seat' to keep them safe while they're in the car... so yeah, this is some serious negligence right here πŸ˜’
 
😱 that's just heartbreaking, can you even imagine what she was going through in those seconds? The little one is so lucky to have made it out alive πŸ™. It's just not fair how some people don't think twice about putting their child's safety at risk. I'm sending all my love and positive vibes to the toddler and his family, hoping they get the support and care they need during this tough time πŸ’•.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this incident πŸ˜”... I mean, as a parent, you'd think that's an impossible situation - your kid falls out of the car while driving - but what really gets me is how quickly mom just picks up her little one and gets back in the car. Like, what are we even teaching our kids here? That it's okay to just shrug off accidents and keep on going? I guess that's a reflection of our own society's values... prioritizing convenience over safety, maybe? πŸ€”
 
🀯 this is just shocking - a mom can't even keep her toddler safe while driving? it's not just about negligence, it's about putting someone's life at risk on purpose... i mean what was going through her mind when she got out of the car, picked up her child, and then drove off? and the fact that she kept driving away from the scene is just heartbreaking... 😱 kids are so fragile, they need constant supervision and care. it's not just about the mom's punishment, it's about holding her accountable for putting a life at risk 🀝
 
omg that's soooo scary what if she didn't get out in time πŸ˜±πŸš— the toddler is literally so lucky to be alive πŸ™ 20 pounds is super tiny and can fall a looong way i'm just glad no one else was hurt too 🀞 it's crazy how some people don't think about their kids' safety while driving 🚫 Jacqueline Marie Hernandez needs to take responsibility for her actions πŸ’―
 
😱 omg can u believe that mom 😩 thought it was okay to just get back in the car with her broken kid 🀯 like what if she hit another car or something?! πŸ’₯ i know parents are super distracted all the time but come on! this is just crazy talk 😡 i'm so glad the kid's gonna be ok tho πŸ™, 20 pounds of toddler weight doesn't make a difference when u fall from an SUV 🀯 and that witness who reported it did the right thing btw πŸ‘
