People, if there’s a child in the back seat, and it’s hot out… call the cops.

If the child isn’t moving… pound on the window to try and rouse them. If you can’t…. Go to the opposite front window and break it.

(You’ll have to be creative. It’s not easy to break automotive glass Something hard and concentrated. Or a big ass rock.)

Also, probably preaching to the choir…. But….

DONT LEAVE YOUR KID IN THE FUCKING CAR.

I see it's time to repost this:

Fatal distraction, a Pulitzer Prize winning article

Tearjerker article about how parents who've been through this felt, why it happens, and what car manufacturers could do to prevent it.

We created laws to require seat belts, maybe it’s time we create laws that require the manufacturers to install tech to detect kids and pets left in hot vehicles and alert the authorities or at the very least sound an alarm.

Why's it always gotta be a 2yo. :/

I'll be sure to hug my daughter extra tomorrow.

It's hot enough to cook an egg in there (I think), so please don't cook your children too. They're not food.

Parenting pro tip: Once the car seat is installed, check it every time you leave the car. Even before the baby is born, even if you are currently holding the baby.

I don't understand why this is so common in the US.

Maybe we should require cars, since they are so big, to be reflective painted in such a way that they absorb less heat and passively dissipate heat.

Idiot parents can only do so much.
