"It was a crazy situation," Gabriel Del Valle, who took the video with his phone, told Houston television station KHOU. "The kids were in there crying. I mean you would understand. It's real hot."

According to KHOU, no one called the police. The mom pleaded with everyone on the scene, saying she had made a terrible mistake. KHOU reported that it appears the children were unharmed.
