A 5-year-old boy has died after being left in the car for hours in the Texas summer heat.
The mother of the little boy claimed to be in a rush after arriving home with her two children. While being in a hurry, she forgot to unbuckle her child from the car seat and bring the 5-year-old boy in the home with her.
Hours later, after spending about two-three hours preparing for her other child’s birthday party, the mother realized that something was missing in her house and it all instantly clicked. That was the moment when she knew she had accidentally left her son in the car. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The temperature on the day of the incident was reported to be around 100 degrees.
For situations like this, it is extremely important that precautious be taken seriously, especially in the heat. According to the National Safety Counsel, on average, 38 children under the age of 15, die from the cause of a heatstroke as a result of being left in the car. It is important to recognize that although situations like this are more dangerous during the summer, this is also something that can occur in any month of the year.
