Kids Left Alone in Hot Car | Newark News

A 24-year-old woman faces child endangerment charges after allegedly leaving four kids—ages 1 to 11—alone in a running car at a Walmart parking lot. Witnesses saw the children sweating despite cracked windows and a running engine, prompting heat exhaustion treatment. With temperatures soaring, experts warn cars can become deadly ovens in minutes—even with AC and shade—spiking to over 100 degrees in 10 minutes when it’s 83 outside. Forecasts predict even hotter days, with interior temps hitting 115-120 degrees. Heat indexes over 110 pose serious risks, especially for kids. Leaving children unattended in vehicles is never safe—seconds matter, and consequences can be fatal. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
