Heroic Maryland 4-Year-Old Stuck In Hot Car With Six Other Toddlers Manages To Call 911 For Help

A 4-year-old, stranded in a locked car as the 80-degree weather caused temperatures inside to rise, was forced to think quick to save all seven of them inside.


Police received a 911 call on Friday, May 10, from a 4-year-old, saying they were trapped inside a hot car.

Though the child was unable to tell the dispatcher where they were, authorities traced the call to the St. Charles Towne Center parking lot in Maryland.


Officers arrived at the location shortly thereafter, removing the "sweaty and scared" children from the vehicle.


The Charles County Sheriff's Office issued a statement:

"Officers helped the children out of the vehicle and Charles County Fire and Emergency Medical Services provided treatment on the scene."



10 minutes after the officers arrived, the 37-year-old woman who owned the car and was caring for the children, returned. Authorities report she was a mother to two of the children, and was babysitting the other five, all aged 2-4.

She was arrested on the spot for "illegal confinement in a motor vehicle."

The children were inside the locked car, whose windows were up, for at least 20 minutes in 80-degree heat.

Their caretaker claims she went into the store only briefly to use the restroom, but ABC-7 reports that police have obtained footage of the 37-year-old browsing for shoes.

Twitter was outraged at the children's caretaker for putting them in this situation:



The 4-year-old managed to call police using a cellphone left in the car, and it's a good thing they did for the safety of everyone involved.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.
