TOMS RIVER - A Lakewood woman whose baby daughter died after being left unattended in a hot car for hours pleaded guilty on Friday to endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Ocean County Prosecutor s Office.
Chaya Shurkin, 27, was charged in connection with the May 6, 2019 tragedy. The baby had been left alone with the car turned off for about two-and-a-half hours, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said in a news release.
