Tori Lee Castillo, a Utah mom, has been arrested after she allegedly locked her two young children in her car’s trunk while she went inside a Walmart store to shop.
Castillo, 39, locked her kids in the trunk and entered the Walmart. At some point, witnesses heard the children, ages 2 and 5, making noise and saw the car shaking. One concerned citizen got the older child to pull the emergency latch and called 911.

Police Lt. Casey Warren says the state child welfare was contacted and the children were turned over to a responsible party.
