Police said the children’s mother was at work in Atlanta at the time of the incident, according to CBS46.
There’s been a spate of these cases during this summer’s heat wave.
Less than a week ago, an Arkansas mother was cited for second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor after she left her 4-month-old baby in the family’s hot vehicle.
Brittany N. Reeder didn’t want to wake her sleeping daughter when the family arrived at a local pizzeria, so she decided to leave the baby in the car. The infant was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
