An upsetting story out of Council Bluffs, Iowa.

According to KWQC, Stephany C. Moses, 25, has been charged with two counts of child endangerment for leaving her kids in a car that was not running for 45 minutes on Tuesday. The temperature in Council Bluffs was only 5 degrees yesterday, with wind chills reaching -15.

The children, 2 and 4, were reportedly not wearing warm clothing and one of the car windows was partially down. The car was left in a parking lot, where a passerby spotted the children and called the police.
