Distressing moment whimpering toddler siblings are rescued from roasting 117f car by hero deputies

[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Panic-inducing bodycam footage captured the moment Georgia police saved two toddlers from a sweltering car their father allegedly left them in for 40 minutes.

The Cobb County Police Department recently released distressing video of the June 4 incident in the parking lot of the Cumberland Mall in Atlanta.

Deputies rushed to the scene when a concerned shopper said she noticed two sobbing children, aged one and two years old, in the backseat of an unattended car on the day that saw temperatures as high as 87 degrees Fahrenheit.

The windows were slightly open, she told the 911 operator, but it made no difference - as the car's internal temperature had reached 117 degrees.

'I am standing outside the Dick's at Cumberland Mall and there are two children in a car by themselves - small kids crying,' she said. 'The windows are cracked, but I don't think that's right.'

One of the toddlers was heard whimpering in the background of the nerve-wracking phone recording, which was shared by the police department.

Their father, J'Quawn Dixon, had allegedly gone into the mall at 12:24pm, a security guard told police. By the time officers were notified and arrived at the parked car, it was 1:03pm.

The cops said they were greeted by three bystanders gathered around the turned-off car, keeping an eye on the boy and girl while their parent was nowhere to be found, according to the video.

#1 Make the father sit in the car,with no air conditioning. Unfortunately, that would be "cruel and unusual".

#2 It's tough to break a car window, but between the three good citizens and asking somebody passing by, should have been able to come up with something. Handle for your car jack, maybe.
Also, key the car all over just to make a point the parents will remember for at least a week.
