People, if there’s a child in the back seat, and it’s hot out… call the cops.
If the child isn’t moving… pound on the window to try and rouse them. If you can’t…. Go to the opposite front window and break it.
(You’ll have to be creative. It’s not easy to break automotive glass Something hard and concentrated. Or a big ass rock.)
Also, probably preaching to the choir…. But….
DONT LEAVE YOUR KID IN THE FUCKING CAR.
Didn’t the Beatles make a song about how it’s perfectly safe to leave a living thing in a hot car?
I’m missing the joke.
Why’s it always gotta be a 2yo. :/
I’ll be sure to hug my daughter extra tomorrow.
I wonder if that’s because it’s one of the most mentally draining ages.
Often the parents forget about them rather than intentionally leave them with no windows open.
I wonder if it’s because 2-year-olds are usually pretty noisy, so when they’ve fallen asleep, it’s easier to forget that they’re even back there.
It’s hot enough to cook an egg in there (I think), so please don’t cook your children too. They’re not food.
Really makes you think
I mean, that’s probably the only edible thing you can cook in a hot car.
Nah, one of my coworkers made dashboard cookies and lasagna all the time. It takes a bit longer than in an oven, but she would come in around 1pm just after lunch with a fresh baked tray of cookies regularly, and occasionally told us all not to eat lunch as she had a lasagna or casserole baking in her car. This was in Phoenix, AZ, so that probably affects things a bit.
Now I need a visa just to enjoy your cookies D:
Maybe we should require cars, since they are so big, to be reflective painted in such a way that they absorb less heat and passively dissipate heat.
Idiot parents can only do so much.
Ban cars
Feasible in cities and large towns (if they have a reliable public transport infrastructure), not really feasible anywhere else.
