"It can be a very dangerous situation, and to put your own family member, not to mention your daughter, right in front of that potential danger is just kind of crazy to me," Peters said.
During the incident, another person was discovered in the back seat, who was identified as either Henry's current or former partner. Henry has been charged with evading arrest, child endangerment, and fraud. She is expected back in court in September and has a bond set at $20,000 for evading arrest and child endangerment.
