I think that the most basic issue here, is the absolute scorching heat that day, in Phoenix, AZ. I know, that I wouldn't have even bothered with food or groceries, my first priority would have been to get my kids out of the heat. I don't even see how you could forget them, or even think that anyone would be "safe" in a car, even with AC on that day.
I just got an "excessive heat" warning on my phone today for Las Vegas, NV. Telling people to limit driving today, being outside, keep pets and kids inside as much as possible. It is going to be 120° there today, which is no joke. Cars have as much problems functioning in excessive heat as they do in excessive cold. I don't think people realize that.
This is a new type of excess heat, we are learning to deal with...it is not heat to casually go shopping. If your car breaks down, it could be hours to get a tow truck. Hours. Everyone's cars are having problems now, batteries are not made for this kind of extended heat...
