Woman Leaves Child in Hot SUV While Shopping
ANAHEIM — Social workers took custody of a woman's five children on Sunday after she left her 10-month-old son asleep in a locked SUV.
Police were called to the 99 Cents Only store at 2270 E. Lincoln Ave. about 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Someone had reported seeing a sleeping child in the Mitsubishi Montero parked outside, while the mother and her four other children, ages 3-6, were shopping, said Anaheim police Sgt. Rick Martinez. The SUV's sunroof had been left open about 6-8 inches, Martinez said.
According to surveillance tape, the child had been alone in the SUV for about 20 minutes when a store employee noticed and was able to get the youngster out through the sunroof, Martinez said.
The child, crying, sweating and hot to the touch, was brought to the store office, where police and paramedics were summoned, Martinez said.
After shopping for about 45 minutes, the mother -- whose name was withheld -- and her other children returned to the vehicle, but the baby had been taken inside by then, the sergeant said.
The woman locked the other four children in the SUV, then went back into the store to look for her youngest child, Martinez said.
Social workers were called and a decision was made, with a supervising officer at the scene, to issue a misdemeanor citation to the mother and to remove the children from her custody temporarily, Martinez said.

7:00 Alarm clock interrupted my nightmare about how statists grew 23 feet tall and actually held elective office.
7:02 Thought about how annoying it would be if statists did that, then got out of bed.
7:03 Entered the shower and thought about how statists probably think polluted water is better than clean.
7:06 Rinsed shampoo out of hair, as statists somewhere probably still slept.
7:08 Toweled off, while thinking about statists and their stupid drugs and porno and how much I hate them!
7:10 Cursed statists and their stupid ideas about property rights while brushing my teeth.
7:11 Remembered how much I hate statists as I rinsed toothpaste from my mouth.
7:12 Turned off the water and thought about how statists probably leave it running…
7:13 Anger towards statists reaches first fever pitch of the seven o’clock hour. It’s going to be a long day…
7:14 Damn Statists! Where’s my socks?
7:16 Found socks. Stupid statist socks…
The first time some poor kid nearly roasts to death inside a Toyota Prius, are we going to see "Woman Leaves Child in Hot Hybrid While Shopping?"

Evil SUVs have come to eat your children! REPENT, THE CONCLUSION HAS INCREASED ITS TEMPORAL PROXIMITY!
Since a number of dead's items were specific to libertarians (e.g., "their stupid ideas about property rights"), your either didn't really read it, or you were too lazy to think up something different to substitute. Like "Those jackbooted statists and their stupid ideas about how everyone has the right to decide what kind of society everyone else lives in, unless he smokes weed." Come on now, at least give it an effort.
Very funny. And yes, it is funnier the first time.
You are totally clueless.
I know better than to do that with my dog.
Not this Libertarian. Quite the opposite reaction. The store employee intervened and desereves a promotion.
Individual responsibility vs. government.
Pretty strange.
This woman is sickening.
Oh yes, Libertarians are for murder and endangering the welfare of children. /sarcasm off. Did you have a bad day or you just don't know what you are talking about?
Yes, it was pretty funny.
I thought it went..."She hasn't the common sense that God gave a rock"...that's what my daddy always said...Though I like them both
HAng on there...some of us trailer queens happen to have sense enough to leave the doors unlocked....lol
