'The windows were totally rolled up, all the doors were locked. She was covered in sweat,' Oropeza told KCTV 5.

The girl was deemed to be fine and was later picked up by her godmother.
A couple - believed to be the child's aunt and uncle - eventually came looking for her and were charged with endangerment.
They are said to have been in a cellphone shop while the girl was in the car.
'(They showed) no emotion at all, whatsoever,' Oropeza said.
'The only question they had for police was if insurance was going to pay to cover the window that we broke.'

1. My local evening news just featured the video.

The dude in the shorts just stands there, then shakes his head as he walks off. At least that's what it looks like to me. Thanks for your help, jerk!

7. There is already 7 people there. what is an 8th person supposed to do?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

8. Would you have walked away before the child was safely rescued?

I wouldn't have. And I certainly wouldn't have stood there, shaking my head disapprovingly. Would you?

10. Locking kids in cars deserves a nod of approval?

Call him out on walking away sure, but sometimes all people can do in a situation is display disapproval.

15. If you're not assisting, you're rubbernecking.

Unless you're the person who breaks the window or who provides water for the child, how does your presence affect the situation?

2. The "people" who left that child locked in that car...

Need to spend a long time in jail, and if they have any children of their own cps needs to get involved.

3. Their laziness could have killed that child.

Awful.

[TDale313]

4. But thank goodness for the good people who stepped in

And rescued her. So glad they got the child out safely. So many of these stories don't have that happy ending. They saved a life.

5. Both things might happen.

The PTB are also going to take a look at the baby's parents, find out why they left their child with such obvious flakes.

They must have found the baby immediately if she was covered in sweat. Heat stroke happens when you run out of sweat. It can kill the very young and very old very quickly.

6. looks like someone was born to be an accessory

9. Doesn't sound like it was the parents who left her in the car.

just FYI.

11. at the cell phone store

Why am I not surprised. Another cell phone idiot(s).

These are the kind of people who are so stupid they have trouble getting through an average day.

16. You're right--only idiots buy cellphones.

[LanternWaste]

17. What precisely lead you to infer that?

What precisely lead you to infer that?

20. I've already answered this.

If they had been shopping for guns at Wal-mart, what would you have said?

19. This has been discussed at length on DU

In short, if the poster had written "another Walmart idiot," I'd have issued the same snarky reply.

12. Good Lord

The end of the story put something important in the back like your computer, phone, or purse.

So the most precious thing that you can have - your child is less important than a phone.

Scotty - Beam me up. No intelligent life to be found.

13. Good for her!

Taking responsibility of the situation and ACTING!

14. As long as we got that tire iron in our hands

let's have a little talk with mom and dad about what shitty human beings they are in general and what shitty parents they are in particular.

[Blue Owl]

21. A hero for sure

No more babysitting with that aunt/uncle.

[Warren DeMontague]

22. Good for her.

She may have saved a life.
