Eyewitness News now knows the name of one of the parents accused of leaving seven children locked in a hot van. Her name is Sharon McGruder.
She and the children's father could face seven felony charges each for each of the children left in harms way. The children and two dogs were locked in the van in the valley's sweltering heat while the parents were shopping.
Eyewitness News was the only crew there to capture police officers getting the children out of the van.
Eyewitnesses say the parents were shopping in two stores near Maryland Parkway and Tropicana.
Delivery driver Jay Wahaab saw the whole thing unfold in front of him. “The cop car pulled up behind the van and got the guy out of the van and put him in handcuffs. The lady came running through the parking lot. She had grocery and diapers under her arms. The cops told her to drop it and put handcuffs on her,” said Wahaab.
The children were checked out by paramedics and will be okay. They are now in the care of relatives.
