According to police, the call specifics included information about an infant in the car. Jasmine Robinson, the woman’s sister, informed CBS News Texas that her one-year-old nephew, Jonas Allen, could be inside the vehicle.

“It was just a shock,” Robinson said after police informed her family what had transpired.
Robinson stated that her sister has been battling with mental illness concerns for the past few years, but she appears to be doing well.
“She’s a great person, she loves her kids and she’s fighting for her life right now,” Robinson told me. “I just want her to be okay.”

“All we can do right now is give it over to the Lord and send up our prayers,” Robinson told me.
