Leaving your kids in a car, especially on a hot afternoon, can
really be dangerous, although it could be the only option when you
don't want them in a "kid free" zone. A three year old boy died in
Houston on thursday, when he got himself locked in his parent's car on
a hot afternoon.
Investigation revealed that he got into the car's backseat
through the front door which was unlocked, but couldn't get out
through the backdoor because the safety locks were on. By the time
help came, he had a cardiac arrest and died in a hospital. Family
members of the boy say they found him about 45 minutes after he was
last seen. And by then he was going through a cardiac arrest.
CNN reports that in the last 18 years over 600 kids have died in
cars that were locked up. Cars heat up a lot in very hot weather and
even opening up your windows a little may still not remove the danger.
And kids can easily suffocate because their lungs and cardiac muscles
are not so strong. This kind of death is very common, and has actually
been reported to have tripled this year.
