( 4UMF NEWS ) Good Samaritans Saves Girl:
While her oblivious parents shopped inside an air-conditioned store, their sweat-drenched little girl freed herself from the hot hell of a locked truck in New Mexico, aided by the kindness of strangers.
The 5-year-old had been imprisoned for more than an hour in temperatures that passed 90 degrees before she finally crawled through a rear sliding window. Customers heard her wailing and pulled her to safety.
She and her fiancé, Hector Ramirez, were walking in the parking lot when they heard sobs and screams. As they approached a red truck with tinted windows, they saw the girl wriggling through the back window.
“We were just trying to calm her down,” said John Bodenheimer, who was walking with the couple.
Store employees and another customer took the distraught child into the Home Depot and gave her water.
Paramedics took her to a nearby hospital. She is being treated for heat exhaustion.
Forty-five minutes later, the parents returned to their truck, where they were met by police.
