KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) - Kennesaw police arrested a 56-year-old babysitter after a 1-year-old child she was keeping was found alone in a car in a gas station parking lot.
Police said Susan Dianne Betancourt of Kennesaw left the baby in a van for about 25 minutes to play video games inside the gas station.
She was arrested Wednesday afternoon and charged with child cruelty.
Kennesaw police said the van's front windows were down about an inch.
Betancourt was being held on $3,000 bond. Police did not know if she had an attorney.
