 A Tennessee grandmother left her grandson inside of her car for 8 hours while she went to work, resulting in his death. 


69-year-old, Linda Stevens, is being charged with the negligent homicide of her 7-month-old grandson.


Authorities report Linda was on her way to work at the Monterey Library on the morning of April 15th. Linda had her grandson with her and was supposed to drop him off at daycare prior to starting her workday.


However, Linda failed to drop the young boy off and went to work at the library at 8 a.m., leaving her grandson strapped into his car seat. 


At 4 p.m., family members contacted Linda, concerned about the child's whereabouts. This led to the heartbreaking discovery of the young boy deceased inside of the vehicle.


Linda Stevens is being held on a $50,000 bond.


Our thoughts are with the family, and everyone involved.
