I feel terrible that the mom felt like she had no other choice, but the children have no choices and have to be protected. They are babies. I looked up the weather for that day. It was 81 degrees. And the story said she parked the car in direct sunlight. Those poor babies could have literally roasted to death.
I live in the South, and kids die down here every summer because they were left in a hot car.

If I see a child left alone in a car, I always call the police and stay with the car until they arrive.
I hope this story highlights the help available so other mothers don't make the same mistake. And that she is able to use the money to get back on her feet and reunite with her kids.

They can interject without involving the government.

Sue the perspective employer for making the suggestion by their manner in application and request for interview, if a mother brought in her toddlers alongside an interview , she would not get the job.



There is no complaint about the toddlers well being and health , therefore we know for a fact the mother would have never left them in the car, but for the pressure from the perspective employer ( for example to go shopping for groceries or clothes for an hour or so...No.) Sue the perspective employer. No mercy.

Dumbest post on a thread full of them. How in the heck is it the prospective employer's fault that she was a child abusing idiot?

Sure, you would just sit there with them while they roasted in the car and died. Wouldn't that just make you the hero?

Maybe this will change the minds of some people.
I do think she should be offered some help rather than be kept in jail but don't think it was some stupid busybody that reported it.
Whether or not she gets the kids back right away depends on the rest of her living circumstances, it says she's homeless...should the kids be?

At 75 degrees, 30 minutes will allow the temperature to rise to 120 if parked in the sun.

If they were "roasting" and the door was locked, and one did not have a tool with which to unlock the door, then windows can be broken.

That is what shirts are for, so that glass can be broken without cutting up knuckles.
