Mom, why did you leave me to fry in the car? Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Thank God two guys managed to rescue me from the oven hot interior.
On local talk radio this comes up at least once every summer as it seems in Milwaukee someone leaves a kid in a car for hours on end. It amazes me how many people are willing to defend the parents or caretakers actions. Some people think leaving a kid in the car is like leaving a bag of groceries in the trunk.
It happens all the time here.
“Dingoes left my baby in the car!”
Thank heavens people noticed.
This time the airbag was prevented from killing the kid. Very lucky.
Back in the good old days (i.e., before air bags), my kids ALWAYS rode in the front seat, and therefore didn’t have to worry about being fried. But today it’s a different story and airbags have the proven capability to kill kids in a non-moving vehicle, even when they don’t deploy, and there is no accident.
Once again, thank you Jimmy Carter and Joan Claybrook.
So, if someone stayed in the 140 degree car to supervise the kid, that would be OK?
Ambien.
Yikes!
That's 140 degrees F.
