ROSWELL, Ga. — A metro Atlanta mother was arrested Tuesday after police say she let two children inside a locked car in 90+ degree temperatures while she went shopping.
Officers responded to reports of two children in a car outside a Dollar Tree on Holcomb Bridge Road. The temperature at the time was around 93 degrees.
Officers saw that the car was not running, quickly unlocked the car and got the children out.
The children’s mother, Eneilu Leon Espinoza, was found inside the store and arrested. She’s been charged with two counts of cruelty to children in the first degree and two counts of reckless conduct.
The children, who have not been identified, were checked out by EMTs and taken to the hospital. Their current conditions have not been released.
