女子与家人吵架,负气将母亲和幼子锁车内离开

A grandmother and her one-year-old grandson had to be rescued from a car in China after her daughter locked the pair inside and walked away. Police were forced to attend to the scene and smash the window of the car and make their way into the car with hammers on April 30, reports Huanqiu, a famous reporter of the People's Daily Online
The woman walked away from the vehicle during a family argument while on the way to a family outing from Nanchang to Ji'an. The temperature had reached some 30℃ when the pair were locked in the Audi Q7.
According to reports, the older woman called her daughter but couldn't get through on the phone. She had to turn to calling the police for help. Officers also called the daughter of the grandmother but she hung up the phone in mid-conversation. At last, the officers smashed through the car's windows after the pair began to become uncomfortable with the heat. According to police, the pair were dripping with sweat. Something terrible must happen if they did not get the pair out of the car as soon as possible. They had no choice but to break the window of the car.
The woman finally came back to the vehicle and apologized, thanking police for their help in rescuing the grandmother and her grandson. She said she was sorry for what she had done. Many people have commented on the news story on Huanqiu. One user said, “This mother has no common sense. If the accident was worse, then she would regret it for a lifetime.” While another wrote, “Too self-willed.” And one user commented, “Murderer!”
