According to a Facebook post by Earl of Harris Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the mother had returned home with both children in the car. The 5 year old was “tied to a car seat Rear child lock”.
The older sister, 8 years old, got out of the vehicle on her own and the mother “thought the other kid was out too,” Gonzalez said.

The case is currently under investigation, but the hypothesis is that the child was unable to unbuckle the seat belt himself, possibly because the car was rented and the child was unfamiliar with this fastening system.
