Heart stopping moment young Florida child is rescued from roasting Audi 'after mom left her in car with engine off for very selfish reason'

Police bodycam footage has captured the moment Florida cops rescued a young child from her mother's Audi after she left her behind to go shopping. 

Mother Anastasiya Motalava, 34, was arrested after her child was found in her sweltering hot car in Hollywood, Florida on Sunday afternoon. 

Cops said a witness heard the child screaming for help from a slightly cracked window, and footage showed police freeing them as bystanders gathered around. 

It is the latest in a disturbing string of children being abandoned in hot cars throughout the country, with Arizona father Christopher Scholtes, 37, now facing murder charges after his daughter died in his vehicle earlier this month.

When Motalava allegedly left her child in her hot car, Florida cops said she failed to turn the engine on to maintain the AC. 

Because the mother left a window slightly cracked, rescuers were able to free her child - aged under five - without smashing the car windows. 

Authorities said store surveillance cameras later found that Motalava was shopping inside a Walmart for over 30 minutes while her child was inside the car. 

She was arrested and charged with one count of child neglect.

With scorching temperatures setting in across the nation, children getting left in hot cars is an increasing risk during summer months. 

According to NBC Miami, almost 120 children have died in Florida due to the issue since 1992 - with 11 occurring so far this year nationwide. 

The incident in Florida comes just days after Scholtes was charged with murder over the death of his two-year-old daughter Parker. 

According to Arizona police, Scholtes played his PlayStation for hours after leaving Parker in his car in 109F heat. 

Scholtes told police that he left his daughter in her car seat inside the vehicle because he did not want to wake her up, according to a criminal complaint obtained by DailyMail.com.

He said he'd left her in the family's blue Honda Acura SUV for an hour and a half after arriving home at 2.30pm, police alleged.

But new evidence put forward by prosecutors suggests the little girl was actually in the car for three hours in direct sunlight - and was only discovered when his wife Erika arrived home at 4:08pm and asked where her daughter was.
