A 3-year-old girl is dead and her mother has been arrested on charges of involuntary manslaughter after investigators in California say she left the child in a hot car while she tended to a marijuana grow.

Police in Visalia responded to the call of a child who was not breathing after being left in a parked vehicle for an extended period of time, according to investigators.

Police detectives say they believe the child, now identified as Jessica Campos, was left in the vehicle for up to three hours before anyone discovered her. Investigators say the outdoor temperature was at least 100 degrees at the time.

An officer who was on an unrelated call nearby responded to the scene and took over CPR from family members who were trying to revive the child.

When fire and ambulance personnel arrived they took over the efforts and the child was transported to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead, investigators say.

According to investigators, Jessica’s mother had been tending to a marijuana grow and processing marijuana during the time the child was left inside the vehicle.

A Visalia mother will be sentenced next month after pleading guilty to seven counts of child abuse and cruelty to a child after her daughter was found dead in a hot car.

Visalia police say three-year-old Jessica Campos died in June after being left alone in a car for several hours.

Investigators say her mother, Eustajia Mojica, was working on an illegal marijuana grow at her sister's house at the time.

Detectives said a pathologist testified the toddler's temperature was at least a few degrees higher than 107. They said Campos' actual temperature was not known because the thermometer was unreadable.

Mojica also pleaded guilty to charges of possessing marijuana for sale and resisting or obstructing a peace officer.

Prosecutors said the indicated sentence would keep Mojica out of prison on felony probation, but they strongly objected to that.

Why couldn't the kid play in the dirt of whatever while she was tending the plants? I'm not recommending taking your kid with you during your illegal activities, but just leaving them in the car obviously has its own dangers. I think those plants were more important to this woman than her daughter.
 
Eustajia Dominguez Mojica, whose 3-year-old daughter died after being left in a car in Visalia during a June heatwave, has received a one-year jail sentence and a suspended state prison stint of more than eight years.

Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward and the case’s prosecutors objected vehemently to the sentence, noting that the DA’s Office declined to offer a plea bargain to Mojica.

“The Office of the District Attorney made no offers in this case and does not agree with the sentencing resolution,” the DA’s Office said in a news release issued Thursday.

According to court documents, while Mojica processed marijuana, her daughter stayed in the car for more than two hours in triple-digit heat.

After someone at the house asked about the baby girl, she was found in the car and brought inside. She later died at the hospital.

During the investigation of the child’s death, the DA’s Office said, officers learned that Mojica was warned numerous times by the child’s father about leaving the children in hot cars. The investigation also uncovered evidence of ongoing child neglect, according to the DA’s Office.

Mojica pleaded guilty to child abuse with the special allegation of willful harm or injury resulting in death, involuntary manslaughter, and several misdemeanor drug charges.

If Mojica violates her probation, a judge could order her to serve the suspended prison term.
