When they arrived, deputies learned the child’s mother, identified as Mann, had locked the child out of the house in just her pajamas. Deputies say the temperature outside was 43 degrees at the time.

Neighbors also allegedly told deputies that they had witnessed the child being locked outside the home on several other occasions.
The girl was taken to a local children’s hospital as a precaution. CPS was also contacted.
Mann was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail.
