Never Leave a Child in a Hot Car

(Undated) — Last year thirty-one children died of heatstroke in vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reminds the public that these tragedies can happen to anyone but are always preventable. They say even those without kids can do their part by always locking their cars to prevent a child in the neighborhood from getting trapped in a vehicle. The NHTSA says if you see a child alone in a locked car, act immediately and call 911. A child in distress due to heat should be removed from the vehicle as quickly as possible and rapidly cooled.
