A woman has been labelled a 'hero' after she found and rescued two young children who were allegedly left all by themselves in the back seat of a car in what was a stifling day in New Zealand while their mother casually shopped for more than half an hour.

Chrystal Alatasi found the children in the carpark of a supermarket located in Napier in New Zealand's North Island on January 27 when temperatures in the area were recorded at 33C (91F). The furious mother-of-four said: "I had been shopping and got back to my car when I heard a baby cry. It wasn't a child having a tantrum but a distressed cry."
