Noodgroepe het hulle omstreeks 12:00 na die Mall gehaas, toe mense laat weet het dat twee kinders in ’n warm kar alleen gelos is.

Met die noodgroepe se aankoms by die Mall, het die polisie reeds die pa opgespoor en is hy na ’n waarskuwing laat gaan.

Sy verskoning was dat hy net gou gaan geld trek het.

• Daar word verneem dat die baba, wat omtrent twee jaar oud is, in die kar gelos is saam met ’n kind van sowat sewe jaar oud.

Dit was geweldig warm en mense het hul sterk uitgespreek oor die pa se onverantwoordelike gedrag.

• Die videomateriaal kan sensitiewe kykers ontstel.
