We commented last year that children should not be left alone in a car, much less when they have no chance of leaving by their own means, let alone when we are in summer and the vehicle is parked outdoors while it is being warming by the sun.
Under any circumstancesHowever, no matter what is explained when the temperature inside the car rises (it can rise from 10 to 15 degrees in 15 minutes), we may find it hard to imagine what would happen, so I think we should all Watch this video that we found in Babies and More.
It only lasts seven minutes, over which we follow the facts that happen to the 'abandonment' of a baby inside the car, while the mother enters to buy with the consequent distractions (ask the employees for advice, meet an acquaintance, answer the messages on the phone, wait for the queue in the box, ...).
Because (let's not fool ourselves) it is almost impossible to control one hundred percent the time we plan to spend buying, and this is reason enough not to leave our son locked in the car
And if - in addition - we are aware that the body temperature of the little ones, climbs three to five times faster than in an adult, and that hyperthermia can occur in just 20 minutes (clearly, this is less than it would take, even if the purchase volume is small), we don't need any further explanation. Children are not left alone in the car, because the time we intend to save can turn against us.
Advertising'One desition' is produced by Red Castle, and in it (in addition to following the movements of the mother while shopping), we observe how the child begins to sweat, to get restless, then to cry for help, and finally becomes unconscious.
A child killed every ten days in these circumstances in the United States, is a figure that alarms. And if we must be responsible as parents, in case of becoming spectators for witnessing a child inside the car only, we should not delay our performance (call the police and if it is necessary to force the door - or break the glass as one of the protagonists -), because what is at stake is a life.
Most victims of hyperthermia they are between 0 and four years old, although inside the car, a child can suffer other accidents such as getting caught by a window, or accidentally starting the vehicle.
I hope that the dissemination of this video will help improve social awareness towards this sensitive issue.
