"If it didn't happen in front of me, I'd never have believed it," wrote Mock, who stopped to help the child. The girl's mother drove back when she realized what had happened, police said.
Authorities told the Free Press that the car seat wasn't attached to the car properly.
The mother could face charges of child endangerment and not properly securing a car seat, the Free Press reported.
