The child scored 911 and reported that he and six other children were left in the car with the windows closed and the engine not working, writes New York Post.

The Charles County Sheriff's Office told reporters that children between the ages of 2 and 4 were trapped in the car - it is likely that the oldest child called XNUMX. The boy told the operator that the children were very hot and none of them had any idea where they were.

The authorities traced the call to the Waldorf shopping center parking lot and came to the rescue. According to the police, the driver appeared on the spot in 10 minutes, totally missing around 20 minutes. It turned out to be a mother of two children, who also looked after all the others.

On the subject: What does a forgotten child experience? Minute by minute

Over the past ten years, almost 750 children in the United States have died because they were left in a hot car in the sun.

On a hot day, a car parked in direct sunlight can reach temperatures that are dangerous for a child in about an hour. If the car is parked in the shade, then a dangerous temperature level will be established there in about two hours.

The researchers explained that the baby is at risk for his life and health at a time when the body due to the large amount of heat loses its ability to regulate body temperature, which leads to organ failure, brain damage and death. This process begins at a temperature in the car of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).

The body temperature of a child in a parked car can reach unsafe levels in about an hour in a car parked in the sun, and somewhere in two hours in a car parked in the shade.

Children are especially susceptible to heat stroke. Their body temperature rises faster than in adults, because their bodies are less able to cool themselves. In addition, children often do not have the ability to control what is happening or leave the hazardous environment in case of an emergency.

While the actual effects will vary depending on the particular child, it is very important not to leave the children in the car unattended, even for a short time, as this can end in disaster.
