Remarkableriots Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/woman-arrested-after-toddler-calls-911-reports-he-and-6-others-left-alone-in-a-hot-car/ar-AABkiau?ocid=AMZN Quote A mother has been arrested after a young child called 911 to report he and six other kids had been left alone in a hot car, according to authorities. The call came in to dispatchers in Charles County, Maryland around 1 p.m. on Friday, the sheriff's office said in a press release. The child didn’t know where they were, but the operator was able to pinpoint the location of the vehicle to the St. Charles Towne Center, according to the statement. Officers found seven children between the ages of 2 and 4 in the vehicle with the windows rolled up and the car not running. Shortly after the children were removed from the car and treated at the scene, the driver arrived. According to the sheriff's office, the unnamed 37-year-old woman had been shopping inside the mall for at least 20 minutes. "It is against the law to leave a child under the age of 8 unattended inside a motor vehicle if the caregiver is out of sight of the child unless a reliable person at least 13-years-old remains with the child," the sheriff's office said. "It is also dangerous to leave anyone, including pets, inside a motor vehicle especially as outside temperatures become warmer. The temperature inside a parked car can quickly rise to extremely high and even fatal levels in a short period of time." The woman is the mother of two of the children and was babysitting the others, according to the sheriff’s office. She was arrested and charged with confinement of children inside a motor vehicle, but may face additional charges. The penalty for leaving children unattended is as much as $500 in fines, 30 days in jail, or both, according to Maryland state law. Spoiler I think a good fine for something like this would be a big fine, forced to take parenting classes and she shouldn't be able to watch other peoples kids.

DarkStar189 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I'd love to know what she was in the mall buying that couldn't wait till later, when she didn't have 7 kids with her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I think I'm fed up with Guess the State now that it can literally be any state instead of Florida or not Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida and Arizona are the only two acceptable states in these games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
