2 toddlers died after mom left them in hot car to teach ‘a lesson,’ police say

Less than a month after the tragedy, Randolph has been arrested after her original explanation for her children’s deaths unraveled. Through multiple interviews with investigators over the past month, Randolph “created several variations of the events” of May 26, police said.

In a final interview with investigators Friday, Randolph described an entirely different timeline for what happened that day — one that began much earlier in the afternoon than she had previously admitted.

At about 12:15 p.m., Randolph said she had found her children playing inside her car and ordered them to come out, police said.

“Stop your s–t,” Randolph said she told her 2-year-old daughter, according to police.

“When they refused to exit, Randolph told police she shut the car door to teach Juliet a lesson, thinking she could get herself and her brother out of the car when ready,” a probable cause affidavit for the incident stated. “The defendant went inside the house, smoked marijuana and took a nap. The defendant said she was asleep for two or three hours.”

"You need a licence to buy a dog or catch a fish, but any idiot can be a parent."

So sad and so unnecessary.
