Granvi le. The court heard that they were in<br />
the car for at least 20 minutes before police<br />
were alerted by a concerned witness.<br />
According to police, the front and rear<br />
windows were down about an inch. They say<br />

vehicle una tended.<br />
Hosseini, with the assistance of a Dar interpreter,<br />
pleaded guilty a the earliest available<br />
opportunity.<br />
She was represented by a lawyer who asked<br />
Magistrate Kate Thompson to consider giving<br />
her client a Community Correction Order<br />
without conviction.<br />
The court heard that Hosseini has no prior<br />

of good character. However, the Magistrate<br />
expressed concerns over leaving children<br />
una tended at any time, let alone during “the<br />
height of summer”.<br />
She told the court that there needs to be<br />
general deterrence so other good and caring<br />
parents do no take the same shortcut in the<br />
future.<br />
“The consequences can be devastating,”<br />
Magistrate Thompson said.<br />
Hosseini was convicted of the single o fence<br />
and fined $1000.<br />
