There should be a potential patent thread for FR. Ideas pitched by FReepers, worked out on threads, with resident engineers and patent lawyers filing on behalf of a non-profit that will eventually start reporting on FR on its disposition and activities.

Who knows, maybe FReepers could be selected by lottery to sit on the board for the non-profit corporation, and rotated every year. Assuming that it works out and patents are granted, and products are made and sold, etc.

That is a wonderful idea. It's time to go proactive; we can bash parents (some of them deserve it, and some just plain forget because they have a lot of heavy things on their minds and frivolous things), but that isn't going to save any children, and but by the grace of God, I could have forgotten, or my ex husband, or somebody I trusted with my children. As I said before, I seemed to have kind of a 6th sense about it and we had a dog first when I became aware you had to be careful leaving them in cars, even with the windows cracked open.

There may be patents out there already. As I said in the other thread, a car engineer devised one, but it added too much to the cost of the car and the company decided not to go with it.

This is just the beginning of the hot months. I fear there will be too many more cases like this one.
