Don't leave children in cars - doesn't everybody know this?

 

Children trapped in cars by car locks can suffer from changes in the temperature inside the car. 

The same applies to babies, and animals.

Sometimes the parents make a mistake. Sometimes the carer does so. How could you check on your child? By a sensor in the car, a car seat, or just asking the driver of the car, or the carer, to send you updates.

In the UK two pre-schools send the parents a photo or video half way through the morning, at lunch and after lunch, about every two hours. To a group chat on whatsapp which both parents can watch. This should be done with all children. 

You also need a visual watch on the inside of your car to be sure nobody is left inside. 

Some modern cars in the USA have text reminders. Or digital messages about detecting heat or movement in the passenger or back seat. These reminders can also be connected to your phone, or to a group such as both parents.

I think there should be a big sign warning that is it a criminal offense to leave a child locked in a car for more than 5 minutes. It should go on private cars and hire cars. 

Check the government and local laws where you live and the USA State or country you are visiting.
