Ocala Police believe 31-year-old Allison Smith was intoxicated when they found her wandering inside a supermarket Thursday night while her children were locked inside the car in the parking lot.
...
after the store had closed.
Upon arrival, police took Smith out to her running car where her two boys ages 2 and 3 were locked inside. One of the boys was crying, the other was playing with a a cell phone.
...the thermostat in the car was set at 90 degrees.
Investigators determined the boys were left alone in the car for at least one hour and twenty minutes.
While stories about parents leaving children in hot cars seem to abound, especially this time of year, I thought this one was special, as the mother was drunk, which meant she drove the kids drunk to the store and then left them in the car for over an hour and a half. I hope she gets at least some jail time over this.
