The boy was clawing at the car window but the mother was stood next to the vehicle doing nothing to help..
Passers-by and even firefighters urged her to let them break the window and save the boy, but she insisted on waiting for a locksmith to arrive and unlock the door, a witness said.
But when the boy began to deteriorate, the firefighters ignored the mother and smashed the window to rescue the youngster.
