Today is National Heatstroke Prevention Day; a day in which the “kidsandcars.org” is focusing on technological solutions to put an end to the devastation seen every year of children and animals dying excruciating deaths in hot cars. Thursday, the first death of the year, of a child left in a hot car, was reported in North Carolina. Director of “kidsandcars.org”, Amber Rollins, says education and public awareness is important, but not enough:
The Hot Cars Act will be reintroduced as a Federal Bill inn the coming weeks, that requires technology that can detect children in in cars and prevent hot car deaths. Nationwide, 39 children die after being left in hot cars.
