It has often happened that children have been locked in cars on hot summer days. Last summer a father in Croatia forgot his five-year-old child in the car when he wanted to take him to daycare. According to a media report, he received a call while driving to report to his barracks immediately. With the child in the back seat, he drove to the barracks but forgot the child in the car. It was only when his wife called in the afternoon to tell him that the boy was not in daycare that he realized his fatal mistake. When he went to the car, the child was unconscious. Rescue workers could not save his life.
In Germany, too, two years ago, in Bückeburg, Lower Saxony, parents forgot their two-year-old child in the car in high summer temperatures. Passers-by spotted the crying girl and called the police. Employees at a nearby shop freed the child through a half-open window and gave her water. The parents told the police that they had brought their purchases to the apartment and left their child in the car. The youth welfare office was then informed and the parents were investigated.

See the video: Pets also suffer from the heat. It goes without saying that animals should not be left in the car. But other tricks can also be used to make life cooler for dogs, cats, rabbits or budgerigars.
