ANOTHER topic that hits close to home for me! EVERY year in Las Vegas children DIE because a parent leaves them in the car in 105+ degree heat!!! This is NOT an exaggeration! EVERY YEAR! We have PSA's on the television each spring reminding people that this occurs and yet, it happens consistently. It is not always because of questionable behavior (strip clubs and whatnot), it is also so-called "good parents" that run off to work and forget the kid is sitting in the back, strapped in the car seat asleep!
One can only imagine the horrible, agonizingly slow death these children endure as the temperatures rise quickly to well over 180 degrees inside that locked vehicle here in the desert! The are basically roasted alive. In the "best case" scenarios, they survive but their brains are mush. It is one of the most terrifying things anyone can imagine and yet , I kid you not, it is an annual occurrence here in Vegas. I just saw the first commercial on TV over the weekend, warning that summer temps are on the way and we need to remember our kids are in the car!!!
