In a heroic act, bystanders rescued three helpless children from a sweltering car after their mother left them locked in the vehicle while she went shopping.
The incident occurred on Friday around 2pm when a passerby discovered a one-month-old, a two-year-old, and a four-year-old trapped inside a turned-off car in a shopping center on the 16600 block of Highway 281. The outside temperature had soared into the high 90s, and police estimated that the children had been inside the hot car for approximately 50 minutes.
A dramatic video shared online captured the intense moment when people managed to get inside the car and save the young children from imminent danger. The quick actions of these bystanders likely prevented a tragic outcome.
The children were rushed to the hospital and are expected to make full recoveries, though their current conditions remain unclear. Their mother, Angela Garza-Amador, has been arrested and charged with three counts of child endangerment.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of leaving children unattended in vehicles, especially during extreme temperatures. For more updates on this story and other important news, stay tuned to XMN News.
