Prevent child deaths in parked vehicles
Lately, a child was left and died in a locked vehicle again as he didn’t disembark to go to kindergarten.
********
time and again it happens
a child dies in a parked car
Is there enough
public awareness campaign?
smart seat alarm sensors?
AI- enabled cameras
to detect motions in parked vehicles?
*****
is there
community vigilance such as
“see something, act immediately!
Stricter laws in child care and schools
to report strict’ check- in’ protocols
*******
Encourage corporate responsibility
to allow flexibility for working parents
and parental strategies
like placing essential items,
handbags, phone in back seat
to prompt checking the vehicle
before leaving it.
*****
reengineer our environment,
habits and technologies
to prevent another child
dying in a parked vehicle!

Every once in a while we’d see a story in the news about a parent that forgot their child in the car. It is always so so heart wrenching to read about.

Yes, often times it’s an exhausted parent that has a momentary and devastating lapse in memory and judgment. So sad.
