A two-year-old girl has died after being left in a hot car — and authorities allege her babysitter is responsible for her death. On September 17, police in Hobbs, New Mexico, received a 911 call around 1:30 p.m. The caller told the dispatcher that she had accidentally left a toddler in her vehicle for several hours. Authorities arrived at the scene and found the 2-year-old Zariah Hasheme dead. Tammie Brooks, 41, told police that she was babysitting the toddler and was supposed to drop her off at daycare. She allegedly went to work instead, and left the baby in her vehicle.

A Texas man wanted out of his marriage and instead of going through divorce proceedings, he faked his wife's signature on paperwork in turn ending their union without her knowledge. The  New York Daily News  reports Paul Nixon submitted forged documents and false information to a Houston district court. Nixon also reportedly committed perjury when testifying in court during a divorce hearing. The divorce has been tabled due to the perjury and fraudulent documents. The constable’s office started the investigation after Mrs. Nixon informed officials of the divorce that occurred without her knowledge. Harris County Constable Mark Herman spoke with a local news outlet and said that a search for Mr. Nixon is underway as he is now wanted for aggravated perjury. “We have teams out looking for him right now, I can tell you,” he told the station. “And we have an idea where he’s at. So hopefully, he’ll turn himself in. If not, we’ll catch him. Just a matter of time.”
