How many of you believe this can happen in Africa? If you do then you are not a true African, mostly from the West.
As weird or bizarre as it sounds, it turns out that a beautiful mom’s shopping trip ended with her being busted by the police wherefore she was jailed after a young child called 911 to say that he and six other kids had been left in a hot car by themselves. � NEVER.


FACTS ABOUT THE EVENT
A Police department known as Charles County deputies received the call just after 1 p.m. on Friday. When they answered the phone, it turned out it was a lad. With expectations (from the police) of what he might say, the child told a 911 dispatcher he did not know where they were.

While the kid did not intend something bad, the authorities had to go in for a search. At the end of the event, they were able to trace the call to a mall parking lot in St. Charles, Maryland, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.

According to NbcNews, among the seven children, ages 2 to 4, were found in the vehicle, which had its windows rolled up. According to Authorities, the kids had been left unattended for at least 20 minutes.


After the officers helped the children out of the vehicle, they were attended to as it seemed they sustained measures of injuries.

According to WJLA, the kids were “scared” and “sweaty.” Temperatures in the area climbed up to around 80 degrees on Friday. Authorities believe the 4-year-old used a phone left in the car to call for help, according to the outlet.


THE LAW BREACHED?
“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 story of the 37-year-old mom was different when arrived back at the car about 10 minutes after police. The woman, who is the mother of two of the children and was babysitting the others, was arrested and charged with confinement of children inside a motor vehicle.

Authorities said they were not releasing the woman’s name to protect the children’s identities.

In case it seemed hash, the frustrating thing is that additional charges are pending against the woman, the sheriff’s office said. Perhaps, why she left the pet also.
