Children die in hot car by 'punishment' mother

texas - A 25-year-old mother who 'murdered' her children by leaving them in a blood-hot car as punishment must go to jail for twenty years.

The American Cynthia Marie Randolph left her 1-year-old son Cavanaugh and her 2-year-old daughter Juliet for hours in her car. She herself went inside to smoke weed and then fell asleep. It was 35 degrees in Texas that day.

The moment the mother woke up again, it was too late. Her children were dead in the car. The mother tried in vain to pretend it was an 'accident', but later she admitted that she wanted to teach her children a 'lesson because they did not want to get out of the car immediately'.
