Every year, it happens: someone forgets that their kid is in the car on a hot day while they go inside and do something, and the kid dies of hyperthermia. And every time it happens, the chorus comes: “How can anyone do this? What kind of awful person does this? How is this even possible?”
Here’s some insight into this phenomenon.
This is, as one might expect, a gut-wrenching story to read. Beware.
That is pretty gut wrenching, and since I know it could happen to me I’ve taken steps.
I keep a grounding strap in the truck. It’s got a thin, coiled wire that is about 6′ when fully extended, has an alligator clip at one end and a wrist strap at the other. I put the wrist band on my right hand and clip the other end to the seat when Ava is in the truck with me.
OT-the “word verification” text looks like it should be a word. It’s “cyardists”
Thanks…I think.
