A boy called 911 to report that he and six other children had been left in a car in Maryland with the windows rolled up and the motor not running.

The Charles County Sheriff�s Office tells news outlets that the children ranged in age from 2 to 4 years old, and it�s plausible that it was the eldest who called 911 Friday. The boy told authorities that the children were hot and didn�t know where they were.

Deputies traced the call to a Waldorf shopping center and helped the kids. Deputies say the driver arrived about 10 minutes later, having already been gone for about 20 minutes. The driver, a mother of two who was babysitting five other kids, was charged with confinement of children inside a motor vehicle.

YWN implores our readership, PLEASE watch the following videos to understand how dangerous it is to be inside a vehicle in the heat with the windows closed.

With the weather turning warmer in the coming summer months, remember a car can become a deadly trap in JUST A FEW MINUTES.
