Leaving a child locked in the car is a crime

Shocking data we know through an El Nuevo Herald story, according to the children's defense group Kids in Cars, in 2006, 742 children died from being left alone in the car.

Leaving children unattended in the car, can have very bad consequences as we see in the statistics, it does not need to be too long, we already know that in only one accident can occur, a child locked in a vehicle in the sun can become dehydrated, can be kidnapped, etc.

For these and other risks, the Florida Senate approved that Leaving a child under six years old in the car for more than 15 minutes is considered a crime and is punishable by a fine of $ 500 and 60 days in prison, while so far he was fined $ 100 at most and a summons. Last year, more than 300 sanctions were imposed on parents who left their children locked in vehicles, they wait with the new law, reduce the more than 700 deaths that happened and make adults aware that their irresponsibility can be very dangerous, both how to play the life of his own son.

We do not know how this situation is sanctioned in our country, but it should also be taken into account, it is about our children and their health, and even their life.
