A mum has sparked outrage after she refused to allow
firefighters to break into her car to save her toddler son from the heat
because the vehicle was too expensive to damage.
The unnamed mother was unable to open the door of her BMW
when it accidentally locked itself.
Her three-year-old son was trapped inside and was suffering in the heat as no windows were open.
Her three-year-old son was trapped inside and was suffering in the heat as no windows were open.
Firefighters who arrived at the scene in Yiwu city,
China, were about to break the glass to rescue the boy, but his mum told them
she wanted to wait for a locksmith instead so the car would not be damaged.
Stunned onlookers looked on in horror as the toddler
cried inside the vehicle as the oxygen levels rapidly went down.
Despite the mother’s desire to wait, firefighters
eventually took matters into their own hands when the boy started to faint and
they smashed the glass to rescue him.
One of the firefighters was quoted as saying: “It’s very
dangerous to leave children inside cars, especially in such heat.
“It can threaten a child’s life in a very short time.”
“It can threaten a child’s life in a very short time.”
The mother was blasted on social media, with one person
writing:
“The mother shouldn’t have left her kid in the car in the
first place. Even if the car did accidentally lock itself.
“What happens if someone breaks the window and abducts
the kid?”
“Another added: “It looks like the car is her real son.”
“ Another: BMW needs to hire ‘Mum’ as
spokeswoman or Marketing Director!!!
“Better yet, why not just have her kid taken away? She was
so prepared to let him die for her car. Give him to a family
”This story hurts me so much. Lady for goodness sake it’s
your child in there
