Police find two small children locked in car that is 117 degrees hot

 Blaze:

Police bodycam video out of Georgia released earlier this week shows officers with the Cobb County Police Department responding to a June 4 report about children trapped inside a hot car.

"I am standing outside of the Dick's at Cumberland Mall, and there are two children in a car by themselves — small kids crying," the caller tells a 911 dispatcher. "The windows are cracked, but I don't think that's right. And we just came out of Dick's, and I heard kids crying."

Worse still, police video indicates that while the outside temperature reached a high of 87 degrees that day, the temperature inside the car was 117 degrees.

The caller estimated that the "little girl" inside the car was about a year old while the "little boy" was about 2 years old.

Police bodycam video shows officers arriving at the scene just after 1 p.m. and quickly deciding to bust a window.

"Break it!" one of the officers says, and that's exactly what happens....

In a flash, the doors are unlocked, and the rescue is underway.

"Hey, kiddies!" one officer says, trying to keep the children calm.
...

The station said officers arrested J’quawn Dixon about a half an hour after the rescue; he was charged with second-degree cruelty to children.

My goodness.  I can't imagine leaving two small children locked in a car, even if the temperature was more moderate.  Doing so in the summer heat makes the situation even worse.
