Mother accused of leaving three children in 15-degree car with windows open to shop at Walmart
My question is how can any MOTHER be that stupid or uncaring
That’s cold.
A Kentucky mother allegedly left three of her children in the car in 15-degree weather while she shopped at Walmart, the
Lexington Herald Leader reports.
Police were led to the car by customers who were concerned about the children. A four-year-old, 20-month-old and six-month-old were found in the vehicle, which was unlocked at the time.
The windows of the car were partially rolled down even though it was nine degrees that day. Police called an ambulance to the scene because they weren’t sure how long the children had been left inside the vehicle in the “brutal cold”, according to the Lexington Herald Leader.
Broquel King, a 28-year-old from Louisville, returned to the car and allegedly told police she had been in the store for just five minutes. However, police said they were waiting near the car for her to return for over 20 minutes.
“[The] suspect’s actions placed children in substantial danger of death or serious physical injury due to the extreme cold,” a Louisville officer wrote in the arrest report obtained by the Lexington Herald Leader.
King was taken to Louisville Metro Corrections on three counts of wanton endangerment, three counts of criminal abuse and a count of disorderly conduct.
