 Never Leave a Child Unattended In or Around a Motor Vehicle
Approximately 265 children a year die from being left unattended in a
vehicle during warm or hot days. Not only do children die from heat
related complication but other dangers can occur from being left
unattended in vehicle including:
-
Strangulation from a power window
-
Setting the car in motion and suffering an injury
-
Abduction
Studies done at the San Francisco State University Department of
Geosciences tells us a car’s temperature rises an average of 19 degrees
in the first 10 minutes after a car is closed up. It then rises an
average of another 10 degrees every 10 minutes culminating in an
average rise of 43 degrees within an hour.
