Many caring and responsible parents have left their children alone in a car, not realizing the risk involved.  Some parents think it is ok to leave a child alone in a car while they run to an ATM, quickly drop off dry cleaning or while dropping off another child at school.  The results of leaving a child unattended in or around a vehicle can be deadly.

• The temperature inside a car can reach deadly levels in minutes
• Children can set the vehicle in motion
• Your child can be abducted
• Drivers have difficulty seeing small children when they back up

Remember..

     A car is not a toy…

       A car is not a playground…

And…

     A car is certainly not a babysitter.
