A mother accidently left a little boy in the back of her Expedition, while she was getting her nails done for her wedding.
The little boy died! Supposedly the mother didn't know, and the kid got into the car on his own...
On the news they were very graphic describing how the little boy's lips had swollen and blistered in the short time period.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- West Palm Beach authorities say a mother didn't know her son was in her locked car as she got her nails done before her wedding. The boy later died at a hospital.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Sunday that 29-year-old Mirland Baptiste thought the boy was with three other children that she'd dropped off at a relative's house. Police are investigating whether the child, identified as Gregory Cesar, might have sneaked back into the car.
His mother was supposed to get married later that day. Instead, the family mourned the boy's death at the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police said the mother was hysterical and had to be sedated after learning her son had died.
Officials say the boy may have been in the car for more than two hours. Temperatures outside had reached 90 degrees.
The medical examiner is awaiting the result of toxicology tests before determining the cause of the child's death.
Across the U.S., 18 children have died in hot cars in 2008. This weekend's case is the second this year in Florida.
