"A Derry mother faces several charges after police said she left her two young children locked inside a hot vehicle on Tuesday.Marie Dennis, 33, faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child, resisting arrest and second-degree assault.\u00A0 She entered a not guilty plea in court.Authorities said that Dennis parked her car in an unshaded area of the Walmart parking lot, left the windows cracked open less than an inch, and went into the store -- leaving her two kids, ages 2 and 3, behind with no water for 22 minutes.Concerned shoppers called 911, and the Derry Fire Department responded.The kids were crying, sweating and their faces were red when crews arrived, officials said.Emergency personnel were just about ready to break the window when Dennis came outside.\u00A0\u201CIf it wasn't for the public your honor, finding this car, reporting it immediately, and if it wasn't for the quick and professional work of the Derry Fire Department, these kids would have been seriously injured, or possibly dead, in regards to this matter,\u201D said C. Scott Jordan, the prosecutor.The prosecutor said that when Dennis returned and unlocked the car, she didn't ask about her kids\u2019 conditions as EMTs treated them, but instead she lit a cigarette and made a phone call.According to court paper work, the police officer who responded couldn't fit more than his finger into the crack of the window.Dennis is still in custody, and there will be a closed hearing Wednesday afternoon to determine who will take care of the kids."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
