• Keep a large stuffed animal in the child's car seat when it’s not occupied. When the child is placed in the seat, put the stuffed animal in the front passenger seat. It's a visual reminder that anytime the stuffed animal is up front you know the child is in the back seat in a child safety seat.

This is a CRITICAL issue that is largely misunderstood by the general public. NOBODY thinks this could happen to them. The public has decided that only "bad parents" could forget a child and therefore will not take precautions to prevent these tragedies from happening to their own children. ......

Eighty-seven (87%) of children who have died due to vehicular heat stroke are ages 3 and younger:

5 thru 14-years old 7%
The fact that there are FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS included in the survey who can't open a car door to save their own lives (but are old enough to get a permit to drive the fucking thing apparently) means we're getting into Darwin Awards territory.

Nope, don't need more awareness, need more prosecution. I bet if parents knew they get their asses locked up in jail for "forgetting" the kid, they'd find a way to remember the kid.

I have some good 'tips' that I think could be put in Lil Sizzler awareness campaigns:
"Ladies - use your natural multi tasking abilities and let the slapping of your mighty meat flaps be like wind chimes to remind you of the baby".
"Men - when you're 'rearranging' your shrunken grapes - let that remind you to check the yard apes!"

This happened last week in MyCity. Moo left 6 month old in the car for two hours while she visited a friend. According to the local news channel, she spent this time taking pictures of herself with her iPhone and posting them on facebook. Then, she ran errands even when total strangers thought something was seriously wrong.
______________________________________________________________
Authorities say preliminary testing on a baby that died after being left in a hot car last week was consistent with exposure to heat.
One woman who says she saw the six month old before the baby was hospitalized says it was clear the baby was in distress.
Police say six month old Zariah Williams was left in a car for two hours last Thursday.
What's really troubling a lot of people is that 25-year-old Monique Andre brought her baby to run errands at Comcast afterward and not the hospital, especially when it was obvious that something was wrong with the child.
"It was one of those images that will never ever leave my brain." Said, Tallahassee resident Kari Jacobsen.
Jacobsen says when she walked into Comcast Cable Company last Thursday, she couldn't help but notice a woman with her baby.
Jacobsen said, "You could just see the baby was in severe distress even then. The baby was ashen, the eyes were already sunk in the back in the head. The baby couldn't hold its own head up."
Jacobsen didn't know that six-month-old Zariah Williams had just been closed up in a car in temperatures potentially reaching 134 degrees just before Jacobsen saw her.
Police say 25-year-old Monique Andre left her baby in the car while visiting a friend, and say that visit was more than two hours long.
The probable cause shows that after Andre realized she'd left Zariah in the car, she turned on the air conditioning, then drove on to Comcast.
Jacobsen recalls what Andre said. "She was like, if you don't stop acting like this, I'm going to have to take you to the hospital and they're going to have to watch you for a couple of days. But, she wouldn't get any help."
Jacobsen says she was so disturbed, that she called her husband.
Carl Jacobsen said, "It took us four and a half years to have our child. When you hear other parents that do stuff like that to their kids, abuse them in any way, it's sad."
It was Jacobsen's husband that told her that baby Zariah died five days later in the hospital.
"I literally sat there and balled in tears because I felt like I could've done something if I'd just called the police, or done anything."
Jacobsen says Andre did ask a teller for a bottle of water for the baby but says Zariah didn't drink it.
Jacobsen says she was at Comcast for 30 minutes and Andre was already there and still there when she left.
Authorities say an autopsy on the baby may take 60 to 90 days.

Actually, many of these parents have been charged. There are a few currently serving their time in jail and many others who have served time and are now on probation and even more that are awaiting trial or are in the process.
