Save our kids!
On my way home from work one day, I had a thought. What if I were to leave my newborn baby in my car, forgetting to drop him off at daycare? I couldn't possibly do that! Well, I had just read an article about mothers just like me who are busy working moms, taking care of kids, work, house and hubby, who would never have dreamed that they would have done this horrible act..but they did. I cant help but think that some or all of these "accidents" were not just accidents. But I give anyone the benefit of the doubt. There are so many ways to prevent this from happening. Put your pocketbook, keys to the office, your lunch, anything in the back seat that you HAVE to take into work. Also, wouldn't it be wonderful if daycare's called the parent or parents if a child did not show up? I know the child is not the responsibility of the daycare until they are there, but it could help save lives. I asked my daycare director if they did that. She said she did in certain cases, but that she would call me if my baby did not show up because of my fear. I love my kids more than life itself. I could not imagine my babies sitting in the backseat of a hot car, screaming for me to save them from the agonizing heat. I just hope that God had mercy on all the babies who had to suffer and die that way. There have been 433 deaths since 1998. Outside temperatures at 80 degrees F can result in 123 degress on the inside of a car...IN AN HOUR! I think that one death like this in 100 years is too much. Something should be done. Spread the word and lets start saving these precious angels!!!
