Episode Details

Kids left in cars is a preventable tragedy—and it’s happening more often than you think. Delaware’s Office of Highway Safety is sounding the alarm as temperatures rise, showing how fast a car’s interior can turn deadly—even on mild days. While the state has seen no child heatstroke deaths since 2019, fire departments still respond to dozens of accidental lockouts yearly. Nationwide, over half of the more than 1,000 child heatstroke deaths in the past 28 years were caused by caregivers unintentionally leaving kids inside. Simple habits—like placing your phone or purse in the back seat or using built-in car reminders—can be lifesaving. A split-second distraction shouldn’t lead to a lifetime of regret. Stay vigilant.
