Mother Charged with Murder

A woman has been charged with murder over the death of two toddlers who were allegedly left for hours in a car near Brisbane.

Paramedics were called to a home at Waterford West in Logan at about 1.35pm on Saturday but were unable to revive the girls, aged one and two.

Police said it appeared the sisters had died of exposure to extreme heat. They were attempting to establish how long they had been in a black station wagon parked in the front of the property.

A 27-year-old Waterford West woman known to the girls was charged late on Saturday with two counts of murder, police said. She will appear at Brisbane magistrates’ court on Monday.

The Courier-Mail reports that the woman is the children’s mother.

No winners here.

I don't know the law in Queensland but in NSW it is illegal to leave children alone in a car because of the dangers of heat stress, cars can easily get to 50°C on even a mild day if they are left in the sun. Heat is a child killer.
