Mother locks crying child, 2, in sweltering car so she could watch ‘Smurfs' movie undisturbed: cops
An 18-year-old Utah mother locked her crying 2-year-old child in a sweltering car so she could watch the 'Smurfs' movie at a theater undisturbed, according to local police. Tripura Merriex pulled her crying daughter out of a showing of 'Smurfs' at the Regal Cinema in Lake City, Utah, on Saturday — and placed her in a 2002 Cadillac Escalade after failing to console the tot, according to CBS47. Temperatures reached 94 degrees with a heat index of 107 degrees Saturday in Utah, the Lake City Police Department said in a statement.

Columbia County Jail Responding police officers busted in through a window of the Cadillac and found the child was 'sweating profusely and was crying in distress,' Law and Crime reported. When Mirriex emerged from the movie theater, she attempted to brush off concern, behaved 'very nonchalant,' and 'acted as though the whole situation wasn't a big deal as she just stood next to her vehicle,' the police report stated. Advertisement The callous cinephile claimed to have simply forgotten her young daughter in the car momentarily — but witnesses painted a different picture. Mirriex, who attended the movie with her younger brother and sister, purposefully put the child in the sweltering SUV and periodically checked on the kid as the movie played, according to a witness cited by CBS47.
