LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK! Prevent hot car deaths!<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
Tragically, every year children die in cars.<\/span> <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This can easily happen to caregivers who forget the child is sleeping in the rear seat. It also happens when caregivers intentionally leave a child in a\u00a0 parked car for ” just a second” to run an errand.<\/div>\n
In the state of Georgia, it is a crime to leave a child in a parked car or a car with the engine running- even for a second.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A child can die when their body temperature reaches 107 degrees.<\/span><\/div>\n
This can happen when the temperature is only 70 degrees and the child is left for 15 minutes!! It is much hotter in Georgia.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In 2020, 25 children died of vehicular heatstroke.<\/span><\/div>\n
In 2018 and 2019, we saw a record number of hot car deaths \u2014 53 children died each year \u2014 the most in at least 20 years, according to NoHeatstroke.org.<\/span><\/div>\n
Some children were accidentally left in the car and others were left for just a small amount of time while the caregiver went into a house or store.<\/span><\/div>\n
Everyone Can Help Prevent Hot Car Deaths<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Never leave a child in a vehicle unattended \u2014 even if the windows are partially open or the engine is running, and the air conditioning is on.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Make it a habit to check your entire vehicle \u2014 front and back \u2014 before locking the door and walking away. Train yourself to Park, Look, Lock, or always ask yourself, “Where’s Baby?”<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. Place a personal item like a purse or briefcase in the back seat, as another reminder to look before you lock. Write a note or place a stuffed animal in the passenger’s seat to remind you that a child is in the back seat.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. Store car keys out of a child’s reach and teach children that a vehicle is not a play area.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Everyone \u2014 Including Bystanders can prevent this from happening.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Always lock your car doors and trunk, year-round, so children can\u2019t get into unattended vehicles.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Act Fast. Save a Life.<\/span><\/div>\n
If you see a child alone in a locked car, get them out immediately and call 911. A child in distress due to heat should be removed from the vehicle as quickly as possible and rapidly cooled.<\/span><\/div>\n
