Texas mom arrested after children die in hot car

(CNN)A Texas mother whose two children died of heat exposure after she left them in a car was arrested Friday, local authorities said.

The Parker County Sheriff's Office arrested Cynthia Marie Randolph, 24, for the deaths last month of her 2-year-old daughter and 16-month-old son after she left them in the car to teach her daughter a lesson, the sheriff's office said in a news release.

"Throughout multiple interviews, Randolph created several variations of the events which led to the death of her children," the release said.

But the investigation, which also involved the Texas Rangers, revealed a different story.

get in, and close the car again AND lock it. I knew the mother was lying. Those poor kids.

Leaving two toddlers in a burning hot car to teach them a lesson? No, just no. I cannot think of any situation that would justify that.
