In Argentina, police rescued a 2-year-old boy after his grandparents left him inside a car with the windows closed while they went shopping at a shopping mall. The incident took place in the city of Pilar, in the province of Buenos Aires. The child spent over 20 minutes under the scorching sun without ventilation, causing serious alarm among passersby. They said the boy was crying desperately and there was no adult in the vehicle. Police immediately organized a rescue operation. When the grandparents, who were alerted via the public address system, did not arrive, an officer broke one of the windows to open the door and get the child out. The boy was handed over to medical personnel, who detected signs of heat exposure and began providing assistance, including hydration. Later, a 44-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman approached the car and explained that they had left the child because they were delayed with their shopping.
