A shocking video has gone viral on TikTok after bodycam footage surfaced showing Oklahoma police confronting a nurse accused of leaving her infant alone in a car for five hours outside a casino. In the footage, officers question the woman, who admits she had left her baby in the vehicle, later attempting to explain her absence by saying she โwent to go find his dad.โ The child was eventually removed from the car by police before being handed back to the mother. Throughout the clip, the woman becomes emotional, appearing to cry, though many viewers quickly accused her of faking the tears.
At one point, the woman pleads with Oklahoma officers, repeatedly telling them, โIโm a nurse.โ Instead of earning sympathy, the claim sparked even more backlash online. Viewers argued that her profession made the situation worse, with many saying she should have known the dangers of leaving a child unattended in a car, especially for such a long period of time.
The mother further revealed to police that her child had been born prematurely at just 25 weeks and required a feeding tube, a detail that horrified commenters. Critics blasted her decision as reckless, pointing out the extreme health risks her baby already faced. โNo one will ever convince me this happens on accident. Never,” one user said as another chimed in, โAnd sheโs a nurse? Really!โ

Someone else commented, “Now sheโs worried about the kid, but not when she decided to leave him to go gamble,” as a fourth wrote, โOmg, five hours the baby in the car.โ โYou donโt leave a baby in the car for even 39 seconds.โ Another admitted they “can’t even watch this.” One commenter summed up the outrage, โLike Iโll never understand why parents leave kids in the car. Take the kid with you! Youโre a parent. Start acting like one!โ
While many applauded Oklahoma officers for rescuing the child, others questioned why the baby was ultimately handed back to the mother despite her actions. Some called for harsher consequences, while others suggested child protective services should have been involved immediately.
