PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A judge dismissed one of the charges against a woman accused of leaving her 1-year-old daughter strapped in a car seat overnight with the sun roof and windows open amid a violent storm.

Brandi Morgan, 25, of Pittsburgh, had been charged with reckless endangerment, child endangerment, leaving a child unattended in a vehicle and resisting arrest.

District Judge Eugene Ricciardi on Friday dropped the resisting arrest charge, ruling that if Morgan resisted it was likely because of her emotional state at the time.

A passer-by discovered the child rain-soaked, covered with leaves and dirt and wearing only a diaper at about 6:45 a.m. on July 18, police said. Morgan was found in an apartment across the street.

Morgan's attorney, Martin Dietz, said his client did not get home from work until well after midnight that night, unloaded some things in the house and fell asleep.

''She was, frankly, working very hard to provide for this child,'' he said.

The child was treated at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh for exposure. She now is with relatives.

I love this "working very hard for their child" My Wife and I bust our asses every day for our kids and the thought of me even leaving my kid in a vehicle for more than 30 seconds is insane. For a stunt like this she needs to get the book thrown at her.

How would you like it if you have to go to jail for an honest mistake like that?

Also, as you stated, you are a husband with a wife. She seems to be single. Big difference.

And before you give grief about being single. It's not always the wife's fault.

      Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
