We all know that cars in summer and hot days can become a deadly trap for babies and children. However, despite the warnings that are continually made, every year we read news of babies who have died after being left behind by their parents locked in the car.
Many of these unfortunate events have happened for the parents' forgetfulness, and therefore, police in the United States will be delivering for free reminders to be placed in the rearview mirror of cars, and thus, prevent babies and children from being forgotten inside.
The O'Fallon Police Department in the state of Missouri, United States announced through its Facebook page that You will be delivering small signs that can be hung on the rearview mirror of cars for free for county families.
In Babies and more, not even five minutes: never leave a baby locked in the car The objective of this is prevent parents or those traveling with babies and young children from being locked in the car, a situation that in most cases has been due to forgetfulness or carelessness, and that unfortunately, has resulted in the death of many children over the years.
"In an ongoing effort to provide the best possible service to our residents, the O'Fallon Police Department offers these reminders for the rearview mirror, to ensure that your most precious possession is secure.", read the message written on the official page.
In their publication, they mention that so far this year, 13 children have died in the United States after being left in the car, and explain that these reminders are free, as well as the different locations where families can go for one.
The police reminders They are printed on both sides and their intention is to fulfill two functions: On the one hand, it is a reminder for parents before getting out of the car, reminding them to check before closing it. On the other, read "Baby in the back seat! Deaths related to high temperatures can be prevented", so that if someone passes by the car, make sure that a child has not been forgotten inside.
Although this type of tragic incident usually occurs in summer, remember that it can also happen in winter, because The interior temperature of a car can rise quickly when it is exposed to direct sunlight and if a child or baby stays inside, hyperthermia can occur.
In Babies and more A 10-year-old child creates a device to prevent the death of babies who remain locked in the carFor this reason and why never, under any reason should a baby or child be left alone (or babies and children) in a carIt is important to take measures that help us avoid carelessness and forgetfulness. The measure of the police department has been received in a positive way, so hopefully soon it will be replicated not only in other cities of the United States, but in other countries and thus avoid more news of this nature.
