-Why this can happen to anyone & intentional steps to prevent it
A—Avoid heatstroke by never leaving a child in the car alone, not even for a minute. A car can heat up 19 degrees in just 10 minutes. And cracking a window doesn’t help.
C—Create electronic reminders or put something in the backseat you need when exiting the car - for example, your non-driving shoe, your cell phone, purse, wallet or briefcase. In more than half of the cases, the caregiver forgot the child was in the car. It can happen to anyone but most often when routines are changed.
T—Take action and immediately call 9-1-1 if you notice a child unattended in a car. Await the arrival of first responders. In Oklahoma, however, you cannot be sued or prosecuted if you as a “Good Samaritan” must break into a locked vehicle to rescue a child.
