21 kids have died in hot cars in 2019 so far. 52 kids died last year. It can happen to anyone — here’s how to prevent it.
"For some reason, when people leave their car in the driveway or in the garage, they feel comfortable letting their guard down," Fennell added."You should never leave your vehicle at home unlocked."The child is the 19th to die in a hot car in 2016. By this time last year, 10 children had died in hot cars and 700 have died over the past 20 years. Most of the children are mistakenly forgotten. Some of the children crawl into the car without the parents’ knowledge and get stuck.
Infants and toddlers are most at risk—87 percent of children who have died in hot cars are under age 3. “It is quite dangerous for children and infants as they don’t have as great of an ability to regulate their temperature,” says Dr. Richard Saladino, chief of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. “If the outside temperature [is] 90, temperatures [in the car] can increase from 80 degrees to 130 degrees in 10 to 15 minutes.”This heat causes the core body temperature to increase to 106 degrees, leading to heat stoke.
“The temperatures rise very quickly, rise to such extremes where the body can no longer compensate,” says Dr. Amy Sniderman, pediatrician at Cleveland Clinic Children’s. Fennell believes overwhelmed, overtired parents forget their children. Many parents believe they have dropped their children off at daycare only to find later the child was still in the car. Or parents don’t realize their kids climbed into the car.

I Am So Humbled to Be Considered Hot, and Hope to Be an Inspiration to OthersI wanted to take a moment to address my supporters, but I have to confess that I’m struggling to find the right words. I’m overwhelmed, which I hope you can understand. I live a relatively quiet life in a remote forest, so you can imagine my surprise when a drone-captured image of me eating a small child at the entrance of my cave went viral. I was doubly surprised that upon seeing the image, people on the internet concluded that they wanted to fuck me. Me, an immortal witch who has feasted on the bones of children for thousands of years? Me, an avowed cannibal and up-and-coming columnist at Jezebel and the Federalist?
