I know if I was waiting for longer than 5 minutes I might do the same thing.

No that is not what the article said:
Quote:
Josh Steep, who was passing by around 9 p.m., noticed the child and was concerned because of the 30C highs so he did the only thing he could think of: He called the police.
"We called 911 and we discussed it with the respondent," Steep said. "I said, 'What do you want me to do? He said, 'I know what I'd do if I was you,' and that was good enough for me."
After smashing one of the car's windows, and lacerating his finger in the process, Steep pulled the child from the car and waited with her outside until both the child's parents and police arrived on scene.

He waited around AFTER smashing the window.
Furthermore, if the heat was such a concern, why didn't he request an EMT be dispatched to check the kid out? Why didn't 911 dispatch suggest this course of action?
