Two toddlers saved from sweltering car after father ‘left them alone for 40 minutes’
This is the moment Georgia police rescued two toddlers trapped in a hot car in a mall parking lot.
Bodycam footage shows Cobb County officers breaking the window of a vehicle outside Dick’s Sporting Goods on 4 June after a bystander called 911.
The children, found crying and improperly restrained, were left in the car for 41 minutes. The internal temperature of the vehicle reached 117 degrees (47°C).
Father J’quawn Dixon was arrested at the scene and charged with two felony counts of second-degree child cruelty.
Police thanked the citizens who called them, "Your quick action is the reason these kids are safe today.”
