I'd heard about children being accidentally left behind in cars for a long time. But here's a new caution. Preventing children from climbing into unlocked cars.
Why would anybody leave a car unlocked?
1 In a hurry.
2 No crime in your area.
3 Prefer to leave the car open because otherwise thieves will smash the windows to get in.
Empty the car completely, at home and in public car parks. Not one item, not a pen, hat. Nothing.
Your car should look empty. Just an empty car as if you hired it for an hour or emptied it. The message is, don't waste your time and risk getting caught. Move on to something more interesting.
4 Hands full of shopping.
5 Forgot.
6 Don't have children.
7 My children are indoors.
8 No children in the car.
Sad news from Georgia in the USA about a child leaving the house and climbing into a car, then unable to get out. Hot summer day. In any case, cars can get hotter than the ouside with a person inside breathing and the windows trapping heat, and all that metal getting hot.
The story does not make it clear whether the car is theirs, the child's family or somebody else's. A neighbour or a stranger who parked nearby. A tiny a child is more likely to go to a nearby car, and the car it already knows and gets into regularly, children like climbing into vehicles and exploring.
Either way, the same thing can happen.
A focused organisation deals specifically with cars and child safety. Kids and Car Safety. Read their advice.
