Calfornia couple leaves toddler in car while shopping

What we don’t get when we hear these kinds of stories, is why the parents thought that nobody would notice a small child alone in a car while you shop at the mall. And on top of it, these knuckleheads didn’t even bother to lock the doors!

Authorities say the boy’s mother, 20-year-old Mauriel Mercado, and her boyfriend, 22-year-old Derek Garcia, left the toddler Friday evening outside the Arden Fair Mall.

Mall security officials say the toddler was spotted by passers-by after he set off the car alarm. One mall customer retrieved the toddler from the unlocked car.

Steve Reed, head of security at the mall, says the car’s windows were up and the child was sweating and looked frightened.

Maybe these 2 need some sweaty, frightening solitary confinement so they’ll know how the kid felt.
