How to Keep Kids Safe During the Summer
- On June 26 in Minnetonka, Minn., a mother lost her 9-month-old son to vehicular heatstroke and warned parents not to leave children in cars.
- Children’s bodies heat up faster than adults, with parked cars reaching lethal temperatures within 60 minutes at 70°F outside, as Keck and Dalby explained.
- The National Safety Council reports over 1,000 child heatstroke deaths since 1998, with 52.6% caused by caregivers forgetting children in cars, Keck said.
- Experts recommend placing personal items or child's belongings in the backseat, calling 911 if someone is trapped in a hot car, and that law protects rescuers who break windows to save children.
- In the context of ongoing US heatwaves, experts like Kendra Keck emphasize scheduling outdoor activities during cooler hours, staying hydrated, using SPF, and vigilant supervision to prevent child heatstroke deaths.
