Do not let your children hold the car keys

February 27th, 2008

Do you still remember the news of a van driver who accidentally left a six year old girl in a van parked in the heat and the girl died of dehydration? The girl apparently fell asleep at the back seat of the van and the driver didn’t notice she was still there because he was in a hurry to rush off. He came back to the van about an hour later to find the girl dead.

Despite of all this news, I saw a mother who left her toddler alone in a locked car with engine running while she went into the bank for about 5 minutes! Her toddler was climbing back and forth from the front seat to the back seat while her mother was away! It was so dangerous!!

You should never leave your child alone in the car unattended nor let your child holds the car keys. Have you heard about the story of a mother who had her child accidentally locked in a car parked in the heat? What happened was : she put her child with the keys at the back seat, between the time of shutting the back door and opening the front door, the little child pushed the “lock” button!

So, always make sure that you have everything ready before putting your children into the car. You should keep the car keys out of reach from your child and keep spare keys of your car and your house as well!!
