Imagine that you accidentally get stuck in an industrial oven and it goes live. In a few minutes, the body reaches 40 degrees, the internal organs begin to fail and at 42 degrees we will soon die. It seems the plot of a horror movie, but if we change the oven for a car in summer and to a child locked in the vehicle, we encounter a reality that causes death to several children a year.
Therefore, now that summer comes, we remember that it is very dangerous to leave children, babies and children, alone in the car. Sun temperatures rise several degrees in minutes and babies are the most vulnerable. You may plan to return in a minute, but think of all the setbacks that may happen.
In what we have been in the United States for the year alone, 11 children have died due to being locked in the car, and about 38 children in this country usually die every year. The temperature of the vehicle without ventilation can reach more than 60 degrees in fifteen minutes, and the Spanish Society of Pediatrics and Primary Care estimates that A child can die inside the car within 30 to 60 minutes.
We must not think that the victims of these misfortunes come from unstructured or socio-economic families. The profiles are very diverse and cover all social classes and educational levels. It can be a fatal distraction. Also sometimes it is a "mischief" of children. Therefore, the best way to avoid these accidents is to be aware of the danger and prevent them.
Keep the cars closed and with the keys out of the reach of children and especially avoid leaving the little ones locked in a sunny place inside the car in any case. Even if the baby sleeps, even if we see it from the window, even if the windows are open ...
In short, you don't have to leave children alone in the car for a moment, when the heat comes cars are a trap for the little ones and many circumstances may happen so that we do not return on time.
