A mother charged with second-degree murder in the hot car death of her 1-year-old son in Gwinnett County has been granted a temporary furlough. This will allow her to attend her son's funeral while remaining in custody. The furlough was granted after her attorney met with Gwinnett County officials to discuss arrangements.

The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office will escort her to the funeral. Further details about the case and the arrangements for the funeral are available from Atlanta News First. The mother's attorney had sought bond, but a temporary furlough was granted instead.
